Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Climbing to the End of the Giant Tree
Following closely behind the train was Ming Jiaojiao.
She hugged Yunti and cried with tears in her eyes, her nose was red, she looked so pitiful.
A little weird, and a little unexpected.
Is their relationship that good?
Yun Ti patted her shoulder and tried to comfort her stiffly: "I'm not dead." The implication was, don't cry so much.
This one sentence made Ming Jiaojiao burst into laughter, and the brewing emotions were instantly shattered.
Then came Su Jian and others.
As if attending a formality, many people came over to hug and shake hands with Yun Ti and Li Xingyan one by one, expressing their fears and worries of the day.
It seemed that Ye Xuan was about to hug Yun Ti.
Li Xingyan pushed away He Junzhuo, who was clinging to him and howling like a ghost.
He rushed in between the two of them and almost knocked Ye Xuan into a 360-degree spin.
"Time is precious, so let's not waste it here any longer," Li Xingyan glanced at Ye Xuan meaningfully, then glanced at the others and asked, "How's it going? Do you have any idea of a way out?"
Not only that, among the initially injured players, one died of poisoning, and another was unable to bear the physical pain and psychological pressure, and disappeared after leaving the team.
In addition, Yun Ti and Li Xingyan fell into the canyon and their lives were in danger. It can be said that everyone's morale had sunk to the bottom that night and people were in panic.
"Well, it seems that Captain Ye is not omnipotent." Li Xingyan said sarcastically.
Seeing Ye Xuan's increasingly fearful expression, Yun Ti pulled Li Xingyan aside and lowered her voice, "Don't mess with him."
I don’t know to what extent Ye Xuan hates Li Xingyan now according to the plot of the original book.
But when she thought of the man's tragic end, Yun Ti felt that it was necessary to remind him.
But when these words reached Li Xingyan's ears, their meaning instantly changed.
It was like he was protecting his beloved, or like he was trying to intimidate the backup: "You can do whatever you want in front of me, but if you dare to do it in front of the main wife, I'll divorce you immediately!"
The arrogance of the "favored concubine" that had been accumulated overnight in Dongxue was poured with a basin of cold water, leaving only a pile of smoking embers.
Li Xingyan opened his mouth, but didn't dare to confront him face to face, so he could only turn his sour face away.
Isn't it just accepting an open relationship? Isn't it just being a backup mistress? It gets easier the second time.
Let’s see who can outlast whom between him and those men!
–
Due to the influence of the weather, the days in the rainforest are short and the nights are long, making it difficult to determine the current location based on sunlight or plant growth.
Moreover, the compasses distributed by the program team, perhaps due to the chaotic magnetic field, pointed differently for each contestant and became completely useless.
This knowledge was beyond Yunti's knowledge, and it was her first time to go deep into the rainforest.
Compared to the Serengeti grasslands with a wide view, it is indeed easier to get lost here.
After listening to Ye Xuan and Cui Da's explanation, she asked in a deep voice: "Then what should we do to get out?"
The other party was silent.
Wait for the weather to improve? Use your sixth sense to guess the direction?
The time limit set by the program team does not allow it, and neither does everyone’s physical and mental endurance.
Cui Da sighed, raised his head, and said to himself, "If only I could climb to the top."
The sky is tightly covered with layers of green branches, and dense trees reach straight into the sky, striving to absorb sunlight and oxygen from higher places.
"Can I just climb up there?"
Yun Ti withdrew her gaze, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Palm trees and parashorea chinensis are the two most common giant trees growing here. They can reach a height of forty to fifty meters, and a few can reach hundreds of meters.
Unpruned palm trees are covered with thick palm fiber, making them difficult to climb, and their stems are too thick to be hugged.
The bark of the Parashorea chinensis is smooth and even, and the trunk is straight, but the higher it goes, the thinner the stem becomes, and due to limited load-bearing capacity, it may bend.
Compare them carefully.
He Junzhuo collapsed and held his head, "How terrifying! We are actually considering the possibility of climbing a tree!"
The others choked up in their throats before realizing that this was indeed a bit outrageous.
He is really desperate and has become hysterical.
"Forget it. Someone might die if they fall down."
"Just watching from below makes me afraid of heights."
"No matter how powerful Sister Ti is, she's just a girl under 20. How could she climb up like that without any equipment?"
After helping Yun Ti tie her wrists and knuckles with medical gauze, Su Jian stuffed the medicine she might need into her backpack. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but persuade her, "Why don't we think of another way?"
"Yes, yes!" Ming Jiaojiao hugged Yun Ti's arm and agreed, "It's too dangerous, Ti Ti, don't take the risk!"
Ye Xuan and Cui Da also thought about it more and more and felt that it was not appropriate. They all agreed that they should abandon this fantastic plan.
“But this one is the fastest.”
Yun Ti pulled out two knives, stabbed them into the tree trunk, and tested its softness and hardness.
He raised his eyes, his face full of determination.
Li Xingyan and Banlie, who were thought to be the most opposed, were unusually silent at this time.
Banlie will not disobey Yunti's decision because he believes that Yunti has the ability to do so.
Li Xingyan was surprised. Normally, he was the loudest person, but now he could hold back and remain silent.
"Young Master Li, why don't you go and persuade him?"
Ma Yuming nudged him with his elbow.
Through the shadowy crowd, Yun Ti, who was surrounded in the middle, was in high spirits.
In order to facilitate movement, she took off her coat and only wore a tight vest, with her slender arms exposed. When she raised her hands, the muscle lines connecting her arms to her back were obvious.
On the other side, Ban Lie, Ye Xuan and Cui Da were also ready to "escort".
Li Xingyan lowered his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "What qualifications do I have?"
Besides, as long as Titti wants to, she can do it.
He had known this truth for a long time.
Everyone's morale was boosted by Yun Ti.
Someone suggested holding a tree climbing competition to stimulate human potential through competition.
After the order was given, several middle-aged men jumped the fastest, climbed two or three meters, and silently slid down by holding onto the tree.
My hands hurt, and my balls hurt even more.
The others burst into laughter and mocked him mercilessly.
Cui Da climbed fairly steadily. He heard the movement under the tree and laughed foolishly. He turned around and asked Yun Ti at the neighboring tree, "Are you okay? No..."
Before he could utter the word "tired", he suddenly looked up.
Holy shit! How did it suddenly jump so high?
As the field of vision rises, the interference of the noisy crowd gradually disappears, and all the details are in sight.
Unlike many men who do things with much ado about nothing, Yun Ti moved lightly and agilely, and even the shaking of the branches was insignificant when he climbed up.
Looking from under the tree, her figure was quickly hidden by the lush branches and leaves.
"Mommy can climb trees too! You're definitely Monkey's destined mother!"
Baobao was extremely excited, but he didn't dare to get too close to Yunti, for fear that he would sit down on her.
So the little monkey ran back and forth between the trees, startling the birds in the bushes and making them fly away.
About ten or twenty meters above the ground, Banle and Ye Xuan stopped one after another and began to climb down.
Banle is a hyena, he has no tree climbing skills, and to be honest, he is a little afraid of heights.
Ye Xuan was a special forces soldier, but climbing such a high altitude without any facilities was already beyond his physical limit.
Seeing that both of them had come down, the expressions of the people who were originally chatting and laughing became serious.
"Where's Yunti? Didn't she come down with you?"
The big guy Cui Da couldn't hold on any longer. He fell on his butt when he got down from the tree and was now wiping his pants in a mess.
The forest was silent.
Even the sharp explosions could no longer be heard.
Beyond the understory, water vapor rises and the stems are covered with green moss.
After sliding down several times, the gauze on her palms had been worn through, and Yunti began to use a saber to assist in climbing.
Swing your arms as far as possible, thrust them straight into the tree trunk, use the handle for leverage, pull yourself up, and then pull them out.
Fortunately, Yun Ti was originally a stunt double, and his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, but human physical fitness can never be compared with that of a leopard that has been climbing all year round.
Soon, my hands felt sore and weak.
Even worse...
Yun Ti exhaled and looked up at the treetops. The sunlight flickered between the sparse gaps in the leaves.
The tree had reached its maximum height, but it still almost broke through the suppression of the other trees.
She needs to find a taller tree.
And that tree is right next to it.
Stepping on the hilt of the knife, Yun Ti stretched out his arm and estimated the distance between the two trees.
Baobao understood her intention and began to scream anxiously, his claws jumping frequently on the branches.
The treetops couldn't bear the weight and began to sway.
Frightened, Baobao hugged the branch tightly, "No! Mom! I can't jump over it..."
Yun Ti's body was also shaking, but she looked calm and composed.
Holding the tree with one hand and flipping the backpack with the other.
Bite one end of the traction rope with your teeth, tie the saber to it, and wrap the other end firmly around your right hand.
After doing this, she nudged the furry butt with her head and said with a smile, "Don't you want to go to a higher place and take a look?"
"I do want to..."
Baobao showed the whites of his eyes, "But don't think I don't know, Mama deliberately wiped my sweat with my butt!!!"
Seeing Baobao's furious look, Yun Ti's smile grew wider. "Come up."
After feeling the soft little thing holding her neck firmly, she exerted force on her wrist and suddenly threw the saber to the trunk of the taller Parashorea chinensis next to her.
After pulling the traction rope a few times with the reaction force, the "homemade animal claw" had a good bite.
Without any hesitation, she leaped into the air.
In the canopy, monkeys cried shrilly, white-crowned swallowtails cursed and moved their families with the bird's nest in their mouths, and thousands of small leaves of the Parashorea chinensis were spinning rapidly in the air and falling like bamboo dragonflies.
Under the tree, listening to the noise coming from above, everyone was nervous and felt like they were on the verge of danger.
"Sister Ti, what's going on?! It's the scariest feeling to be able to hear but not see!"
"Who has a loud voice? Can you please yell a few times to get Yun Ti to come down quickly?"
"No? Who has a louder voice than that hairy monkey..."
Seeing this, some contestants quietly retreated to the back.
He was afraid that Yunti would fall and hit him, and he was also afraid... that he would be covered in blood.
Noticing Li Xingyan's strong uneasiness and panic, Xiao Hei also began to get irritated. The snake's tail hit his neck, making a snapping sound, and soon left several red afterimages.
However, the man and the snake were unaware of this and both raised their heads like devout believers praying for God's protection.
Before the hook's load-bearing capacity reached its limit, Yun Ti successfully held onto the tree trunk, and her body slid down several dozen centimeters due to inertia.
The blades on the soles of his feet also rubbed against the stems, scraping out tiny sparks.
But after a moment, she caught up with the distance she had fallen and then overtook.
With a few steps, he broke through the canopy of trees.
The sun suddenly appeared, the wind shook the earth, and the endless green trees were like ripples on the sea, floating and roaring in the sky.
This is the emerging layer of the rainforest.
The drones hovering in the air rushed up and surrounded him.
Looking down, the source of the river we have been looking for is just to the north of the mountains.
The direction of life is already clear.
Everything is at Yunti's feet.
