It's still raining, and the tree bark has become slippery, greatly reducing friction.
There are quite a few intricacies to the skills and techniques for climbing trees.
Tang Weiwei clamped her legs around the tree trunk and her arms tightly gripped the vines, inching her way upwards.
After climbing up the tree branch, he stretched his slightly sore arms and legs...
Then, after testing the weight-bearing capacity of the tree branches for a moment, it swayed slightly...
But Tang Weiwei was highly skilled and daring. She took two steps forward, and without even asking Ye Feng what details he should pay attention to, she leaped onto the cliff top...
"Wow! What impressive skills!"
Fu Changxiong, who was below, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ye Feng nodded repeatedly, thinking that Tang Weiwei would at least prepare for a while.
I didn't expect him to jump up so decisively. Judging from his relaxed appearance, this is probably not his limit.
Tang Weiwei, standing atop the cliff, stepped onto a patch of wild grass, where many plants and small trees were indeed growing.
Many climbing plants have already completely covered the tree, making the trunk almost invisible.
The land area is not large; it is a small, isolated mountain with no support.
From the sky, it looks like a crooked, green stone pillar.
The white mist swirling around it really does look like a scene from a fairy tale.
He sniffed it, and the fishy smell had indeed become much stronger…
"Ye Feng! There are so many plants here, which one is the fish vine?"
Ye Feng, who was down at the foot of the mountain, recalled the characteristics of the fish vine, only to find that its features were difficult to describe, as many plants resembled it…
He simply said:
"Just smell it slowly, and the one with the strongest fishy smell is the one."
"Throw it down first, and I'll pick it up after I've checked it..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Weiwei began picking leaves and smelling them, and soon found the fish vine.
The rain seemed to have enhanced the fishy smell of the vine.
It smells like freshly dissected fish entrails.
However, it only smelled fishy, not foul...
Tang Weiwei cut off a piece and threw it to Ye Feng at the foot of the mountain.
After confirming that they were fish vines, he began to swing his knife and quickly cut down all the fish vines, throwing them down the mountain.
A dozen minutes later, the fish vines on the mountain had been basically cleared away.
Ye Feng stared at the huge pile of fish vines, his mouth practically agape.
With these things, not only can he save his life, but if food is scarce, he can also use them to poison fish.
Because rotenone has no effect on humans, fish that have been poisoned or killed by rotenone can still be consumed by humans.
"There's nothing left on top."
Tang Weiwei shouted down the mountain...
Seeing this, Ye Feng nodded...
"Good job, come down now. Climb down slowly, be careful, and make sure you hold on tight to the rope."
When she went up, Tang Weiwei had a rattan cane tied around her waist.
Besides making it easier to climb, it also allows you to use the branch to swing onto the trunk and slowly climb down when you come down.
But Tang Weiwei skipped over it...
As it turned out, he had clearly overestimated the load-bearing capacity of the tree branch.
My footing was very steady, but I overlooked the fact that the tree branch was located slightly below the top of the cliff...
His own weight, combined with the force of the fall, caused the tree branch to snap instantly after swaying twice.
"Click!"
A third of the tree branch and his body immediately plummeted downwards.
Fortunately, Tang Weiwei was a martial artist, and although she was startled, she reacted quickly.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the remaining branches.
The broken branch then fell downwards...
"Holy shit!"
Ye Feng and the others, who had been watching from below, couldn't help but utter a phrase from the national essence and quickly moved aside.
"collapse!"
Leaves and tree trunks fell to the muddy ground, making a splashing sound.
Ye Feng looked terrified. Don't underestimate these small branches; if they had hit his head from a height of nearly ten meters, even if he hadn't died, he would have definitely suffered a concussion.
"Hey? Are you guys alright?"
Tang Weiwei, hanging from the tree trunk, shouted down...
Ye Feng was furious...
"I told you to use the rope, but you insisted on showing off. You almost sent us all flying. How come you didn't fall to your death?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the branch to be so brittle."
Tang Weiwei looked embarrassed. If she hadn't reacted quickly, her leg would have broken from falling from that height.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and get down."
Ye Feng waved to him and then quickly gave instructions to everyone.
There are so many of these fish vines that they could probably fill more than half a backpack.
They did have many empty backpacks, but how could Ye Feng possibly carry those extra ten kilograms of weight on the road?
Moreover, once the roe decanter dries, the moisture inside will also be lost, at which point... its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
So the most urgent task is to squeeze out the excess water as soon as possible, since the fog is so thick that we can't go very far anyway.
This is a good opportunity to do something useful...
Ye Feng asked Fu Changxiong and Zhan Pengwu to cut down a few thicker branches.
Then he led everyone to hide at the foot of the cliff.
Because the bottom of the cliff is recessed, forming a sloping arc, it provides shelter from the rain.
Ye Feng took out several slightly larger wooden jars and distributed them to everyone. The steps for extracting the juice were also very simple.
Break the fish vine into pieces, put them in the jar, and poke them with a stick.
Just like smashing glutinous rice cakes during Chinese New Year...
In an instant, a series of knocking and hammering sounds came from below the cliff, and more than an hour passed without anyone noticing.
The heavy rain outside gradually turned into a light rain, and finally into a drizzle.
Everyone's arms ached from smashing, but they finally finished processing all the fish vines, leaving only some broken branches and leaves.
Ye Feng collected all the extracted juice into a wooden jar.
I gently weighed it; it weighed about 300 grams.
The juice is colorless and looks similar to ordinary drinking water.
However, just one sniff reveals a pungent, fishy smell.
"Huh~"
Ye Feng sniffed in disgust, feeling a little nauseous...
"Oh my god... this smell, let alone fish, I'm afraid even a person would feel nauseous after smelling it for a while."
He quickly closed the lid and put it in his backpack…
"let's go…"
After stretching their aching arms, the group quickly slung their backpacks over their shoulders and continued on their way.
With the heavy rain and wind no longer hindering it, the thick fog began to gradually dissipate.
Ye Feng never thought that being able to see things in the distance was such a wonderful thing.
They followed the map all the way, and their travel speed was almost twice as fast as in the morning.
In less than two hours, they had walked nearly three kilometers.
After the heavy rain, some small animals emerged to forage for food, and birds chirped and circled among the trees.
Unlike their cheerful flight, Ye Feng and his companions were drenched in sweat despite the rain.
No matter how much rain falls in the tropical rainforest, the hot and humid environment cannot be changed at all.
It's just that the method of heating has changed from dry steaming to steaming with water.
