Chapter 298: Let’s Have Some Fun!

The mountain leading to Los Santos where Ryan earned the title of the drift king before was known to be used as a racing track. This was just an example of their unique existence.

Of all the mountains, the most popular right now was Mount Barlegrad. It was not too high and steep so it was suitable for junior climbers. When people reached the top, beautiful scenery welcomed them. Therefore, this mountain was very popular among those who wanted to climb casually.

"Hahaha Sister Irina is really slow!" Ivanka was so excited as she ran with full strength. The three of them had reached the foot of the mountain by bus.

Since today was a weekend, many people came to hike. 

After confirming their luggage, they were ready to climb this beautiful mountain.

When they saw the mountain from below, the three of them let out a deep breath. No wonder this mountain was a popular destination.

With an altitude of 1400 meters above sea level, this mountain was quite easy to conquer by beginners. However, there were also several danger points so climbers should not become complacent and should avoid areas that have danger signs.

At this time, a rock climbing competition was held near them. 

Climbing was known as an extreme sport because they were really dangerous. Even though there were security measures in place, it still did not fully guarantee the safety of participants. If their rope was broken or they fell in the middle of a competition, they might lose their lives from falling off such heights.

At the sloop of the mountain, many people were enjoying the competition. Even some of them were cheering for their idol. The competition had been running halfway, the participants would soon reach the finish line. The cliff they used was quite high, about 40 meters tall. Moreover, this was a real cliff so it was difficult for them to find a safe footing.

"Wow, looks like it's really fun over there! Let's see for a moment!" Ivanka became excited, she took out her cellphone to take a picture.

Around them, people also took many photos with their cellphones.

"Wow, that guy in the middle is really great, he's leading a long way."

"But look at the woman behind him, she's also great. Her arms are really strong and she's also pretty!"

The spectators were divided into 2. One side was watching and enjoying this match while the other was busy recording and posting it on their social accounts.

Ryan and Irina were among those who watched and enjoyed the show. In a tourist spot like this, there were many things that drew people's attention and attracted them. Rock climbing was one of the many examples. A competition would always be held every week. Tourists could also compete if they paid a certain amount of money. Of course, there were already various kinds of security provided.

Apart from rock climbing, there were still many other activities at the slope of this mountain, such as bouncy falls and flying fox. All these attractions were intended for tourists who didn't want to climb, mainly families with small children.

The hiking trail was secured and several safety measures had been considered so climbers only needed to follow the available path.

"Ivy, let's climb right away. It's going to be scorching hot in the afternoon, you know," Ryan said from the side, what's the fun of seeing people climbing cliffs? If it's just a cliff like that, he could finish it in just 1 minute.

"Wait a moment, it will be finished soon. I want to see who the winner is!" Ivanka continued to cheer with the rest of the crowd.

Irina smiled at Ryan. "It's okay, let her have fun,"

Since his wife had said that, Ryan complied.

At this moment, the competition was almost over. The beautiful girl that people talked about started to fall behind the other competitors. After all, the opponent was a professional and a boy at that, of course this girl would encounter some difficulties.

At this time, she was in the rearmost position and her speed was gradually decreasing.

Her right hand tried to grasp the stone above but suddenly, the rock crumbled and the woman's right hand fell too. After hanging for 5 seconds with her left hand, her grip was released and she fell free.

"Watch out...!"

Everyone screamed in fear when they saw the incident. Fortunately, the girl reacted quickly and managed to stand on one of the steps.

"Hey, are you okay? Hold on!" One of the people from below said.

She was clearly frightened, thinking that her life had already ended. If it weren't for the rope on her body, she might really have died.

However, when the staff below shouted at her, the girl realized something terrifying. It seemed that the rope wrapped around her was rubbing against the sharp rock and was about to break!

Luckily, her hand had managed to grab a stone and now she was standing in the middle of this footing, trembling with fear. She didn't know what else to do.

"What's wrong with her? How come she's shaking like that?"

"Looks like something's wrong with the equipment."

"If she falls from such a height without straps, she will die on the spot."

Everyone was giving their opinion, Ivanka also started to get anxious. "How come she… Hang in there! Help is coming soon!"

The girl started to break out in cold sweat, she didn't have much experience in climbing especially real cliffs. This was the first time she entered the competition, she was already nervous from the start.

When she looked down, her head became dizzy. The steady footing suddenly began to shake and stones began to fall.

Seeing this, everyone started to get scared.

The participants on top also noticed this incident, they were all staring at her. The staff also panicked, the rope tied to her body finally broke. Now her life only depended on the strength of her grip.

"Hold and take a deep breath, don't look down!"

The participants on top were very worried when they saw the rope that supported her broke. If that girl got scared and lost her grip strength, she would definitely fall!

Hearing those words, the girl tried to calm down.

The audience below could feel their hearts clenched hard, they were afraid that someone would die today.

"Look at that! The rope's broken!"

"What? Then her story is over."

"I can't bear to see it."

"This sport is too dangerous!"

The staff on top of the cliff tried to give her a rope, but since this had never happened before, they did not have long enough rope for that.

'Looks like she's really on the brink of death,' a staff member thought.

The girl was still trying to calm down, but at this time, when one of the participants wanted to come to save her, a stone fell again. The stones hit her and she panicked. Her footrest collapsed and now she was just hanging off with both hands.

In an instant, everyone screamed in fear.

"Hey committee, quickly do something! That girl can die!"

"I'll call an ambulance and the police!"

A committee member then took a HT and said to his friend above, "Where's the rope? Bring it fast! She won't last much longer!"

The staff above were still trying to tie several ropes together. If it was not strong enough, that would mean they're killing the girl.

"Hold on, hold on, help is coming soon!" The committee shouted through the loudspeaker. The girl struggled with all her strength to grasp the rock in both hands, but without a footstool, she wouldn't last long.

Ryan looked at the poor girl and frowned. If this situation continued like this, that girl would die.

At the same time, a committee member got ready to climb up and rescue her. However, it took about 3 minutes to put on the necessary tools, they were not sure that the girl would last that long.

At this moment, the girl noticed a rope sticking out from above. However, since there was no footing at all, she had to jump up and release both of her grasps to grab the rope. This bet was really too risky.

"Damn, it looks like she has no footing. The only way out for her is to jump!"

The committee then said through the loudspeaker once again, "Don't jump, just hold on! We will save you in a moment!"

"Oh damn, how is she going to survive that..." Ivanka was scared too, but at this moment, she realized that Ryan was no longer there.

When people were focused on looking up, a man suddenly came to the cliff and prepared to climb without equipment.

"Who is it???!"

"Hey security, it looks like someone is trying to be a hero."

The security officers immediately shouted at Ryan. "Get out of here, it's dangerous!"
