"Nobita, what are you doing?! How come you got into trouble after only taking two steps?"
Fu Changxiong planted his toes firmly on the cliff face, gradually bringing himself to a stop.
He couldn't help but glance down...
"Holy crap..."
The exaggerated height and the feeling of weightlessness while suspended in mid-air, along with the roar of the waterfall not far away, made him immediately close his eyes and look up.
"Brother, don't blame me, this moss is even more slippery than I imagined."
"And I'm holding back; if this continues, something bad is bound to happen."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng realized that he had perhaps underestimated the power of the waterfall.
No plants grow on this cliff face; it has been eroded by rain and sun over the years.
The moss that grows from it will definitely be much smoother than ordinary moss.
If we force it, the probability of something going wrong is indeed too high.
"Da Xiong, come up first."
As they spoke, the group pulled together and dragged Fu Changxiong up.
"Brother, why don't we take a detour? If we keep going like this, someone's bound to die here."
It's so damn slippery, like there's a layer of putty on the soles of your feet.
Ye Feng glanced at him but didn't reply. He just stroked his chin and started to think.
He would never choose to take a detour unless absolutely necessary.
Staying in the jungle for two more days would be tantamount to suicide.
"If we want to get down the mountain, we must solve the problem of slipping."
To prevent slipping, it is necessary to increase the friction between the soles of the feet and the moss.
But now, what can… wait…”
Thinking of this, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, and an item suddenly appeared in his mind.
He smirked and immediately turned to look at Liu Sisi.
"Quickly take out the pigskin."
Without asking any questions, Liu Sisi unzipped her backpack and took out a large stack of pigskins.
This was skinned from a wild boar caught that day in the Red River region because time was of the essence…
The four wild boars were chopped into dozens of pieces, and their skins were only removed when they returned to the camp.
Ye Feng selected several rectangular pieces of pigskin, took out a knife, and began drilling holes along the edges of the pigskin.
"Hey... bro, what are you doing with pigskin?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, wondering what he was up to, Liu Sisi suddenly realized what was going on.
"Oh, Brother Feng, are you planning to wear this on the soles of your feet?"
"That's right."
Ye Feng quickly drilled four small holes in the inside of the pigskin.
Then he took out a small bundle of shoelaces from his backpack and selected the two longest ones.
These were all taken from dead people, because there were too many shoes and the sizes didn't fit.
So he took off the shoelaces from the shoes he no longer wore and kept them.
I never expected it would come in handy at this time.
He then threaded the shoelaces through the holes in the pigskin, and by tying them around his ankles, a shoe cover was complete.
"Pigskin, after being dried in the sun and then baked, becomes incredibly rough and durable, like sandpaper."
When in contact with moss, the friction is greatly increased, thus effectively preventing slipping.
"Brilliant!"
Liu Sisi clapped her hands. This method was indeed in line with physics. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng, how do you think of all these methods? How can you come up with such a clever way?"
Ye Feng waved his hand slightly.
"Most importantly, we have enough reserves."
Otherwise... even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.
This is what I often teach you, in the wild, under suitable conditions...
We must collect as many supplies as possible, because they might come in very handy someday.
It could even save his own life.
"Um."
Liu Sisi nodded vigorously, drew her knife, and prepared to step forward to help.
But Ye Feng looked up and stopped him…
"Don't waste the pigskin, one pair of shoe covers will be enough. After Nobita arrives safely..."
Take off the shoe covers, tie them to the safety rope, and then we'll pull ourselves up and take turns using them.
As he spoke, Fu Changxiong had already put on shoe covers.
He returned to the edge of the cliff, and the four of them immediately grabbed the safety rope.
As he leaned back and stepped onto the moss on the cliff face, he felt a resistance as he exerted slight force with his feet.
"Wow, that really works, bro. I feel like I could go down even without you guys holding the safety rope."
"Stop talking nonsense and get off now."
Ye Feng held onto the safety rope with unwavering force, for it was a matter of life and death for Fu Changxiong, and he dared not be careless.
In less than 3 minutes, Fu Changxiong was almost at the center of the cliff.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Just then, he suddenly heard a sharp bird cry from below.
Looking down, he discovered that it was at the bottom of the cliff about ten meters away from him.
On a small branch that had sprouted from a crack in the cliff, there was a bird's nest the size of a washbasin.
Inside the nest, two fledglings, their wings still undeveloped, were flapping their wings and squawking loudly at him with their mouths wide open.
The way they looked clearly indicated that they regarded him as an enemy and wanted to drive him away with shouts.
Although Fu Changxiong had little survival knowledge, he recognized the species of the two birds at a glance.
Because this bird has a distinctive sharp beak, and he had eaten it before.
It was the Harpy Eagle that Ye Feng shot down to make the tail fin of his arrows; it was commonly known as:
Horned eagle—
The Amazon is the absolute king of the skies, a large bird of prey at the top of the food chain here.
Fu Changxiong quickly called out:
"Bro! I found two baby harpy eagles! What do we do!?"
The hollow sound quickly traveled upwards.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's heart tightened instantly. He quickly grabbed the rope and strode to the edge of the cliff.
Upon closer inspection with the binoculars, two baby eagles were indeed spotted.
"broken."
He sensed something was terribly wrong; this harpy eagle was still in its infancy.
This means that they are still being raised by their parents.
The great eagles are probably out looking for food now; when they return…
If you find an unidentified creature approaching the eagle, or wandering around your doorstep, it will be a problem.
This will inevitably trigger their protective instincts and lead to an attack.
Let alone on this cliff, even on land...
The harpy eagle's sharp beak and claws can easily inflict fatal wounds on humans.
"Hurry up and descend! Ignore them! You're doomed if the eagle comes back!"
Ye Feng urged Fu Changxiong loudly.
Before the eagle couple returns, they must complete their mission to descend the mountain.
Otherwise, once they have enough food, they might not go out for a whole day.
In that case, everyone would be forced to camp separately until they went out again the next day.
Having followed Ye Feng for so long, Fu Changxiong naturally understood the seriousness of the matter after a little thought.
So he quickened his pace down the mountain.
Fortunately, his upper body strength was indeed formidable, and finally, after a few more minutes, he landed safely on the grass.
Fu Changxiong had never realized that having something under his feet could feel so comforting.
But he had no time for sentimentality at that moment…
