When Lu Xuan saw the "high and mighty" parchment scroll, his head was buzzing.
If I didn't have good eyesight, I probably wouldn't have been able to see that there was such a thing on it.
"Oh my god, who stuffed this in there? It's too high, isn't it?"
Shen Keyin tilted her head back, tapping her toes lightly on the ground, her eyes half-closed, as if trying to get a clearer look at the scroll embedded in the crevice of the mountain. The scroll, stuck there all by itself, left her bewildered, her expression filled with disbelief.
"Lu Xuan, use the telescope to check if this is the parchment scroll?"
Even though some people here had excellent eyesight, they couldn't see with their naked eyes whether the parchment scroll stuck in the crevice of the mountain was the one they wanted, so Leng Mengyao hurriedly urged Lu Xuan to take out his magic telescope to take a look.
"I almost forgot about this treasure."
Lu Xuan also slapped his head. He was so busy squinting his eyes and staring blankly that he actually forgot that he had such a big treasure in his hand.
I raised the telescope and took a closer look. Although I couldn't see the pattern on the scroll stuck in the crevice of the mountain, I could basically confirm that it was a parchment scroll.
"Lu Xuan, is that true?"
Seeing that Lu Xuan stared at her for a long time without saying anything, Shen Keyin asked impatiently.
"The most likely reason is, the problem is that it's so high up, how do we get up there?"
Lu Xuan is now in a dilemma. He did see the scroll, but the problem is that it is at such a high place. How can he get it?
"This cliff is so shaky, there's no place to stand."
Chen Keyin pouted and looked up at the towering cliff. The more she looked, the more panicked she became.
While this cliff's height wasn't as impressive compared to those peaks that pierced the sky, its steepness was breathtaking. Most of the wall, as if cut by the sharpest blade in the universe, was straight and smooth, without a single bump or indentation to provide leverage. Sunlight occasionally shone through the clouds, illuminating the cliffs, reflecting a dazzling silver-white light so blinding that one couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Faced with such a cliff, let alone climbing up, it would be impossible to take out the parchment scroll inserted in the crevice of the mountain, even climbing ten meters or so would be impossible.
Although Lu Xuan was well aware of how difficult it was to climb up, he still walked closer and tried several times.
The result was obvious. Lu Xuan rolled down before he even climbed five meters high.
"Lu Xuan, this is too dangerous. This is definitely not a solution. We have to find another way."
Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin saw Lu Xuan rolling down the mountain again and again, and hurried forward to persuade Lu Xuan to stop.
"Brother Lu Xuan, how about we try hanging down from above?"
Taylor then made another suggestion.
"I'm afraid it won't work. From the top to where the parchment scroll is, it's at least fifty or sixty meters, and the slope of the rock face is too steep, almost at a negative angle. I don't have the confidence to make it down."
After all, Lu Xuan is not a professional speed descenter. If he can only descend a distance of about ten meters and the slope is not as steep as this cliff, it would be easy.
But given the current conditions, Lu Xuan weighed it himself and had no confidence at all.
"Lu Xuan, I have a plan, but I can only give it a try. The success rate is only 30% at best."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Leng Mengyao drew the word "three" and pointed to the parchment scroll high above.
"30%? Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
At the moment, his group couldn't think of any solution. Hearing Leng Mengyao say that his method had a 30% success rate, Lu Xuan was almost excited. Now, let alone a 30% success rate, even if it was only 50%, he would try it without hesitation.
"Mengyao, what can you do? You know how to rock climb, right?"
Chen Keyin is a girl with a really creative mind. She even thought of letting her best friend try rock climbing.
"I really don't know how to rock climb. I want to try... using a bow and arrow..."
"Bow and arrow?"
After hearing these two words, everyone finally understood.
"But shooting with a bow and arrow from a distance of nearly 200 meters? Isn't that a bit too much?"
But three seconds after Lu Xuan heard Leng Mengyao's idea, he felt that hoping to shoot the scroll down with a bow and arrow was simply a fantasy. After all, the effective range of a bow and arrow is only 100 meters. If he wanted to shoot 200 meters, especially at a girl, it seemed completely impossible.
"Sister Mengyao, this distance is probably more than 200 meters. Isn't this a bit difficult for a bow and arrow?"
As a qualified engineering student, Taylor has basically measured the distance from here to where the parchment scroll is. The two hundred meters mentioned by Qin Jicheng is the vertical height of the rock wall. If Leng Mengyao wants to shoot arrows, the required distance will be much more than two hundred meters. It would be difficult to shoot a bow and arrow two hundred meters, even with a professional compound bow and a professional archer.
"Mengyao, let's think of another way. Besides, our compound bows are still on the boat and we didn't bring them down."
Chen Keyin looked up at the location of the parchment scroll again, and the more she looked, the more out of reach it seemed.
And just as Chen Keyin said, because the compound bow is large in size, although Leng Mengyao brought the bow on the boat on this trip, he did not take it with him when he got off the boat for the sake of convenience, and it is still on the boat.
"You're right. If I shoot upwards from here, let alone 200 meters, even 100 meters would be difficult with my arm strength."
Leng Mengyao waved his hand calmly.
"If not from here? Then where to shoot from?"
Hearing Leng Mengyao's words, Shen Keyin looked around and couldn't think of a place more suitable for archery than this place.
"Sister Mengyao... do you want to go up?"
Just when everyone was confused and didn't know what Leng Mengyao was going to do, Taylor, who was also smart, seemed to have thought of something. He pointed to the top of the rock wall and muttered softly.
"Go up?"
Now the remaining three people all looked up at the top of the rock wall, and then they suddenly realized.
"Right, right, right! If we shoot from the bottom up, we have to go at least two hundred meters, and we have to overcome gravity. But if we shoot from the top down, the distance is only fifty or sixty meters, and we can also add gravity! This is a good idea, absolutely great! The problem is... how do we get up here?"
Lu Xuan slapped his thigh suddenly, blaming himself for his slow reaction.
But when I thought about it carefully, I found a new problem. The rock wall in front of me didn't look easy to climb.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, didn't you say that the scroll fell down because two savages were fighting up there? Then let me ask you, how did they get up there?"
Lu Xuan naturally wanted to leave this professional issue to professionals. Qin Jianli, who had been silent the whole time, was once again brought out by Lu Xuan...
