Chapter 404: Crawling in the Dark
Yu Chengxuan looked up at the mountain and estimated the speed of Zhong Ling'er and the others. If they rescued the white ape here, Zhong Ling'er and the others would definitely surpass them.
Mo Qi knew what Yu Chengxuan was worried about, and snorted, "How about the four of you go down and collect the Moonlight Grass first, and the six of us stay to rescue the white ape."
This is a solution, and many people agree with it, but Yu Chengxuan does not accept this arrangement.
"The journey ahead is full of dangers. The more we disperse, the more dangerous it will be. You promised to help us win the championship, you can't go back on your word. Also, do you have a way to save this white ape? We can't fly swords here, and you can't get up even if you go down. Don't save it, and you'll have to go in again."
Mo Qi was furious, staring into Yu Chengxuan's eyes and asked, "You want me to give it up?"
"I hope you won't be too soft-hearted. I'm helping you make the right choice."
Yu Ziyan hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Mo, my brother is right. If we can save him, we will definitely save him. But the key now is that we can't save him. Tell us what you have to do. We will help you. But you have to do it as soon as possible. He can't hold on for long."
If Moqi was asked to come up with a way to save the white ape, he really couldn't come up. He might not be able to get out of the snow cave once he went down, let alone get the huge white ape out.
"It would be great if we had a super-large spirit beast bag like Zhong Ling'er's. We could put the white ape in it and then use a rope to lift the person up."
A disciple proposed an idea, but everyone kept silent because they didn't have the special spirit beast bag that Zhong Ling'er had, unless they went to Zhong Ling'er to borrow one.
But they were in the middle of a competition. Would it be appropriate for them to go back and borrow things from Zhong Ling'er? The key was whether Zhong Ling'er was willing to lend them the money. They were ahead in the competition thanks to the white ape's leg power.
Many people feel that if they were in their shoes, they would not borrow.
"I'll go find Zhong Ling'er to borrow some. She's very kind and won't stand by and watch someone die. Junior Brother Chen, just stay and help me. You guys can go first."
For some reason, Mo Qi was very confident in Zhong Ling'er's character, which made the Yu family members speechless, but this was obviously the biggest concession that Tianji Pavilion could make, so they stopped hesitating and left with their people.
Junior Brother Chen watched the others walk away, then asked Mo Qi, "Senior Brother, what should we do? Should we climb up and look for Zhong Ling'er?"
"No need, I sent her a message and she asked us to wait and she will be here soon."
Mo Qi put away the world in his palm and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhong Ling'er agreed to help immediately without asking any questions, which made him feel more at ease.
Zhong Ling'er also put away her palm and got off Bai Luochen's back. She said to everyone, "The people from Tianji Pavilion are in some trouble. We may have to hurry up."
"The wind here is too strong and walking is too slow. You should learn how to crawl on the snow."
Zhong Ling'er simply lay down on the ground, and immediately changed from a spirit-palm animal that could walk upright into a reptile, perfectly interpreting the words "dark crawling".
Seeing Zhong Ling'er taking the lead in twisting... or rather wriggling in front, everyone's expressions were indescribable. Yu Chengpeng even wanted to grab Zhong Ling'er's shoulders and tell him that even if she was crawling, it should be normal. How could it be so... ugly, so dark, could she look like a girl?
But it is undeniable that Zhong Ling'er was the most agile and fastest climber among the few people. After climbing for less than a quarter of an hour, she had left everyone else far behind and finally became a moving black dot in front.
After reaching the top, Zhong Ling'er looked at the senior brothers who had disappeared and sighed. The senior brothers were too obsessed with being idols. They were all crawling on the ground. What was the point of talking about postures? Shouldn't they just do it as comfortably and quickly as possible?
After tying the Demon-Binding Rope to a protruding rock, Zhong Ling'er swung the tail end down the mountain. After a while, she saw the rope became tight. Zhong Ling'er felt mischievous and with a thought, the Demon-Binding Rope kept shrinking and soon flew up with a string of candied haws.
Looking at the people being thrown all over the place by the ropes, Zhong Linger laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. But she still remembered that there were people waiting for her to rescue them, so she said to everyone, "Everyone, I have no choice but to do this. Although it makes you suffer a little, this is the fastest way. Don't you agree?"
Zhou Yizhuo hit his chin and glared at Zhong Ling'er, "Whatever you say is right, you are happy just because you are kidding me, right?"
Zhong Ling'er stuck out her tongue, moved to Zhou Yizhuo's side, and rubbed his chin in a flattering manner.
Ouyang Ruochen couldn't stand it anymore, "Junior Sister, your Third Senior Brother is not that squeamish. Didn't he say he wanted to save people? Let's go down as soon as possible."
Zhong Ling'er took out a large two-handled pot from her storage ring. This was not the super large pot that Zhong Ling'er had been dreaming of, because it was only as big as a room and could only accommodate about ten people.
"This is the pot I made to cook seafood. Although it's not as convenient as my super large pot, it can come in handy now."
Zhong Ling'er tied one end of the Demon-Binding Rope to the ear of the seafood pot, and the other end remained tied to the protruding stone without moving. Then she signaled her fellow brothers to lie down in the pot, hold the edge of the pot with their hands, and press their bodies against the inner wall of the pot. Then she controlled the Demon-Binding Rope to become longer, allowing the pot to slide down the hillside.
A big pot was being dragged down like this, and the speed was very fast, much faster than walking down.
Zhong Ling'er sat in the pot and thought she was very smart. She couldn't make a super big pot, but she could make a seafood pot as an emergency measure. Look, she had eaten the seafood last time and she could use it this time too. What's more, it was much more fun than dog sledding.
Zhong Ling'er controlled the pot and quickly came down to the middle of the mountain. From a distance, she saw two people waving at them. Zhong Ling'er knew that this was the place, so she stopped immediately and untied the demon-binding rope above.
"Who fell down, is he still alive?"
Zhong Ling'er hurried forward to ask, and made up her mind that if it was Yu Chengxuan or Yu Ziyan, she would delay as much as possible and resolutely not save them, but if it was someone else, she could lend a hand.
Mo Qi's expression was unnatural. "I'm sorry, I lied to you just now. The one who fell down and was in danger of death was the white ape. I was afraid that you would not help, so..."
"Ah, it's a white ape. It's also a life. We should save it if we can."
Zhong Ling'er didn't care about Mo Qi's suspicion and concealment, and even offered to save him without much thought, which made Mo Qi blush. Although he thought Zhong Ling'er was kind, he still couldn't help but judge others by his own standards, which made him feel ashamed.
Several people came to the edge of the cave and looked down, and they couldn't help but gasp. The white ape was seriously injured, and the ice cones pierced through its body, making rescue very difficult.
Zhong Ling'er immediately looked around for a place to tie a rope, but there was none, so she took out her mace and thrust it into the snow with all her strength.
