After hearing what Ye Feng had said, everyone fell silent.
They have encountered many difficulties along the way.
This was the first time they had ever been tied up by a small ditch and a few fish.
Seeing Ye Feng deep in thought, Liu Sisi offered a suggestion.
"Brother Feng, how about this, let's go cut down a longer piece of wood?"
Use this log to push yourself into the water, then grab onto the log and swing across. It's like pole vaulting.
The terrain on the other side is lower than ours, and the distance is only 6 meters, so there's absolutely no problem.
Or we could just cut down a tree and build a bridge, then crawl across.
"Hey~ This is good, this is good."
Fu Changxiong nodded in agreement…
"This is simple and convenient. It has a high success rate... and since it doesn't involve contact with water, it's relatively safe."
Before everyone could even rejoice, Ye Feng shook his head.
"The surrounding area is mostly large trees, and if we cut down small ones, they might not be able to support the weight and could easily break."
Chopping the log too big wastes time, and more importantly, if it's too heavy, it's not only difficult to drag, but also difficult to carry to the other side.
The time and margin for error are too high; as for using the log to jump over it...
Ye Feng stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head...
"I thought of this method a long time ago. First of all, we are only two meters away from the water surface below."
The water surface is known to be at least 6 meters below the bottom, which would make it 8 meters.
In addition, with this swing-like method, the log must be at least close to our chest, otherwise we are likely to lose our balance and fall into the river.
This is the consequence…
At this point, he kicked the manta ray into the river.
"Splash..."
Almost instantly, splashes of water rose from the surface, and the corpse was torn to pieces, ripped into fragments of flesh.
Ye Feng and his companions, however, could not see how they disappeared; it was as if they had vanished mysteriously.
Its ferocious and aggressive feeding speed is no less than that of a piranha...
This scene gave everyone goosebumps.
There are at least seven or eight of these human toothed fish underwater.
Ye Feng casually tossed the fish head back down and continued:
"Based on this calculation, we need to prepare at least one ten-meter-long log."
Furthermore, the piece of wood must fit comfortably in your hand and be perfectly straight, otherwise it will easily veer off course.
One wrong move and you could still fall into the water.
This is still the most ideal and conservative estimate. If the estimate is wrong, the preparation conditions will be even more stringent.
Now, do you think we should still take the risk and try it?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
This is essentially gambling with your life. If you lose, you'll be doomed. No one would do this unless absolutely necessary.
Ye Feng stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then suddenly looked at a big tree on the opposite bank, a smile appearing on his lips.
At that moment, the white watch suddenly started to light up red...
Then came the familiar mechanical beeping…
"The hunt is about to begin, please prepare..."
A few seconds later, the map refreshed, and a red dot and seven small green dots appeared on the map.
Everyone's hearts clenched...
Ye Feng remained calm, but he was also feeling a little flustered inside.
This location is practically a perfect ambush site, surrounded by enemies on all sides; we definitely can't afford to waste our time here.
Without delay, he immediately had Fu Changxiong bring out a rattan cane, then took an arrow and tied a heavy knot on the arrow with the rattan cane.
Simply put, this knot is used to bind cylindrical objects so that they won't come loose even when pulled.
After he tied it up, he nocked the bowstring, aimed at the branches of the tree on the opposite bank, and shot.
However, because the arrow was tied with vines, it was heavier, which made it difficult to aim properly, and the arrow missed.
He pulled the arrow back and fired three arrows in a row before finding the aiming pattern.
Finally, on the fourth arrow, it accurately hit the branch, which was as thick as an arm, and pierced it directly.
Afterwards, Ye Feng hid the other end of the vine in the tree behind him and tied it into a downhill knot.
Tie a stone to the rope used for recycling and throw it across the river.
That's right, what he's going to use is this ancient method of crossing rivers by ropeway, used to climb dangerous terrain during military campaigns.
Although it's a bit simplified and can't handle a large audience, it's just a transitional measure.
Once one person can climb to the other side, untie the rope, and re-tie it to a sturdier tree trunk, crossing the river will be easy.
"Hey bro, are you sure this will work?"
Zhan Pengwu tugged at the taut rope with some skepticism, and the vines swayed.
Failure could mean becoming a eunuch, so I have to be careful.
"I feel like even I can't handle this alone?"
Ye Feng quickly slapped his hand away...
"I didn't tell you to climb, so don't move around."
After that, he looked at Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaoyan and told them his thoughts.
The two women immediately understood that they were the smallest in the group, making them the most suitable candidates.
Although they were somewhat afraid, they did not show any aversion or rejection.
Both of them had always felt like a burden to the team, relying on the men to take the lead and come up with solutions for everything.
Since I finally have a chance to help, I certainly won't back down.
"I'll do it."
Qi Xiaoyan took the lead and immediately took off her backpack.
She wasn't as smart as Liu Sisi, and her knowledge was even less. It seemed more suitable for her to do this kind of work herself.
But Liu Sisi stopped her abruptly…
"Sister Xiaoyan, my hobby is rock climbing, and I'm lighter than you. I'll do it."
"That's right."
Ye Feng nodded. In fact, Liu Sisi was the best candidate in his mind.
Weighing less than 100 pounds and skilled at climbing, no one in the team was more suitable than her.
"Don't worry, even if you fall into the water, the manta ray generally won't attack a woman in the short term."
And... I'll give you an extra layer of insurance.
After saying that, he took out a hemp rope and wrapped it around Liu Sisi's waist as a safety rope.
If she falls into the water midway, people on the shore can pull her up as quickly as possible.
After getting ready, Liu Sisi climbed onto the rope.
It's clear that she has a unique understanding of climbing.
She used an upside-down climbing method to distribute her center of gravity as much as possible and stabilize her body.
The others kept a close eye on her, gripping the safety rope tightly, and slowly loosening it forward.
Liu Sisi glanced at the dark, murky river below, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.
It was as if it were gazing into an abyss.
"Don't look down! Just treat it like a normal rock climb."
Ye Feng gave her a prompt, and she immediately regained her composure, wriggling forward on all fours.
Everything went smoothly until we were halfway up...
"Hiss~"
"ah!"
The vine, which had been taut, suddenly sank. Liu Sisi screamed and clung tightly to the vine with her eyes closed.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly grabbed the safety rope.
Ye Feng looked up and saw that the arrow that had originally been shot into the branch had slipped out a bit and was showing signs of breaking through the wood.
At this moment, Liu Sisi was even closer to the water's surface.
"Sisi! Hurry! Arrows are falling out! Climb over there quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi opened her eyes, her heart pounding.
He gritted his teeth and quickly started moving his limbs, crawling forward.
And as the force and frequency increased, the arrow was falling outwards at a visible speed...
