Chapter 26 Climbing in the air

"Don't panic." Lao Itch said calmly, "These bugs are afraid of light and fire. You can see how they react to the signal flares. Let's just light up the torches and walk over slowly."

Wu Xiaoxie shook his head and disagreed: "What you said is too absolute. The brightness and temperature of torches are incomparable to flares. Don't forget those monkeys wearing human face masks before. Although they are afraid of flares, torches are not harmful to them." The effect is not big. At most, it can only retreat a little. If you really want to go up with a torch, it will be no less than directly entering their encirclement."

Lao Itchy thought about it and realized that this was really the case. "Then what do you think we should do? Do you already have an idea?"

Wu Xiaoxie estimated the distance between their location and the rock wall next to them, scratched his head, "I only have a few ideas, and I'm not sure whether it will work or not."

Master Liang stared at the Chi Gu not far away and said anxiously: "What idea does this little brother have? You might as well tell me. If it succeeds, you have to try. It would be too dangerous for us to climb up from here."

If you really want to climb up the bronze tree, it is no different than sending yourself to death.

Wu Xiaoxie gritted his teeth, "I think we can use the climbing rope to swing directly to the opposite rock wall. The big hole over there can be used as a foothold."

"Swing...swing there?" Lao Itch was a little dumbfounded, and gestured with his arms open, "That's so far! Your head must have been stuck by the donkey."

Wu Xiaoxie was a little angry when he heard it, "Then what do you want to do? If you have the ability, do it."

Lao Itchy's mouth tightened and he became silent.

Master Liang quickly acted as a peacemaker and advised in the middle: "You two brothers, please be patient. The most important thing for us at this time is to unite as one. I think this little brother's idea is good."

"This climbing rope was taken from Uncle Tai. It is by far the best climbing rope in the world. I spent a lot of money to find a way to buy it. It can withstand an impact of nearly 3 tons and can carry the three of us. It's more than enough, but the length may be missing a bit." Master Liang said.

"Baby, what should we do now?" Lao Itch lowered the rope and inspected it visually. He found that a large part was missing, and secretly screamed, "Even if we connect the belts of the three of us, it won't be enough."

Wu Xiaoxie took the rope and found that it was a two-strand rope of sixteen millimeters. He had an idea and said, "Let's break the rope and connect it into one. It will definitely be enough."

"This...can't do it." Lao Itch pinched the rope, "It won't break."

"It's okay. Let's go through it one by one. Foreign magazines say that this kind of rope is used by special forces. It must be strong." Wu Xiaoxie swallowed, feeling a little unsure, but this is a reinforced nylon rope. It should, shouldn't be Something will happen.

Secretly cheering himself up, Wu Xiaoxie clasped his hands and bowed. He took the divided rope and tied a military kettle with a sailor's knot at one end. Then he looked at a stalagmite opposite, rounded his arms and threw it out.

The first time, it didn't tie, and he swung it twice in succession. The fourth time, it was finally tied securely. Wu Xiaoxie grabbed the rope hard and pulled it. The rope was tightened and fixed very firmly, and he wrapped the other end again. Several branches of the bronze tree were fastened and tied tightly.

"Done." Wu Xiaoxie clapped his hands, "Who comes first?"

Master Liang squinted at the rope, shrank his neck, and stepped back without leaving a trace.

Lao Chi saw it from the corner of his eye and rolled his eyes angrily.

"I come."

Lao Itch spat into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands, and walked to the edge without daring to look down. He held the rope with both hands and was about to get on his feet.

"Wait a minute." Wu Xiaoxie suddenly stopped him.
