Chapter 111

The fingertips of the left hand touch rough and astringent rock particles. Through the thin anti-skid powder particles, you can feel the water vapor on the surface of the stone; The right hand is absorbed in the gap between the rocks. The narrow gap only allows the part of the finger to go in. It adjusts the angle slightly to find the best position. Then it tries a few times, and finally it inserts the finger; At this time, both feet step on the bulge of a cliff. It is said that it is bulge. In fact, it is only one finger wide. The toes exert force through the thin sole of the shoes to keep the center of gravity stable.

The hot sun above the head releases energy wantonly. The whole sky is shining brightly, and the hot air seems to become thick and turbid; The sweat on the back has been completely soaked by the clothes, and the sweat from the forehead drops into the eyes, but there is no time to wipe it; A gust of wind whistled through the canyon, and the narrow passage made the wind more powerful. Not only the heat was not felt, but also the cold was felt, and the goose bumps on the arm came out.

Heat and cold, shaking and stability, sweat and shivering... Are contradictory and harmonious, as if we can clearly hear the dialogue between nature and our fingertips.

Take a deep breath, push the fingertips of your right hand inward, from the small arm to the big arm, and then to the shoulder. Once the center of gravity sinks, the toes suddenly start to work, and the whole person jumps lightly; The left hand stretched upward and grasped a fist sized stone bulge. However, due to excessive force, the estimated orientation deviated from some expectations, and the fingertips clattered across the rough rock surface, and even had no time to feel pain, the left hand grasped the bulge steadily; Stepping on the surface of the cliff below with both feet, a burst of sand particles fell down. I felt that the sole of my feet was slipping, and it seemed that I could not step on the center of gravity.

At the critical moment, the strength of both hands burst out completely, pulling the body to do a pull-up action, pulling the falling body up, and then lifting the sole of the foot up a little, directly stepping on the wall, the top of the knee almost hit the stomach, but in the absolute tight muscle, the danger was avoided, but still as expected, The sole of his foot didn't step on the support and began to slide down, but it was higher than the original plan. The friction of his feet eased down the downward trend. The thin sole was almost imperceptible. The toe felt calmly. Finally, before the body was completely straightened, he stopped the downward trend and finally stabilized.

"Hoo, Hoo..." he took two deep breaths to calm the boiling blood.

The burst of adrenaline makes the brain completely blank. It has no time to think at all. It can only rely on the body's instinct, intuitive guidance and training skills to respond. In just one millisecond, every muscle of the body is running at a high speed, and all distractions are completely lost. It just focuses on this cliff, and only focuses on the next bulge and gap, Just focus on controlling the body, that's all.

Looking down at the bottom of his feet, he was nearly 50 meters away from the ground. The dizzying height turned into a bottomless abyss in the turbulent water, like an open shark mouth, ready to devour all life at any time; But what he felt was the stimulation and excitement in his blood. At this moment, he really forgot himself.

Don't care who he is, don't care about the exploration of acting skills, don't care about the entanglement of nightmare, because at this moment, everything is so real, really alive, really breathing, really existing, breathing, heartbeat, blood, sweat... Every detail is really intoxicating. What does it matter if he's Langley or Paul? What's important is that at this moment, he can clearly touch the rock particles, feel the wind, and breathe the air mixed with the smell of water vapor and moss.

The smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but outline it. He wanted to shout out and let out all the turbid air in his chest. However, when he looked up, he saw the distance above his head. He was less than 20 meters away from the top of the cliff. He could see the middle-aged man sitting on the edge of the cliff with his legs hanging, The wind brings the sound of intermittently humming folk songs, comfortable and leisurely, and the world seems to be at his feet.

Excited back to the blood, attention again, the left hand grasp grasp, the right hand into the waist pocket grasp anti-skid powder, palms and fingertips sweat suddenly disappeared, and then along the crack just now, slowly upward groping, constantly trying to cut, trying to find a suitable position for the fingers.

This cliff is very flat, almost not too many stones raised, most of them are sand and stone, not only there is no borrowing point, but also the sand and stone are too loose, easy to slip, so it is very dangerous. Fortunately, this crack on the side provides a leverage point, but it still needs to be careful again and again.

The right hand is fully extended, and the elbow is slightly bent, leaving a little space for exerting force. After confirming the position, we begin to look for the borrowing point of the left hand. However, after looking for it all over, the smooth wall made him come back in vain. There were so many protrusions of small stones, but it was too difficult even for his toes to borrow power, let alone his fingers.

Patiently looking for several times, after confirming that there was no other way, he took a deep breath to calm his impetuous mood. Obviously, he is still inexperienced. In the process of coming up, he chose a wrong road, or a dangerous road, but this is also one of the charms of unarmed climbing. All the unknowns are waiting for his own exploration. Only when he meets them, can he understand the original appearance of nature.

With a quick decision, he decided to continue to climb along the gap, which put forward strict requirements for the grasp of the center of gravity and balance, but it was the only way to the top of the cliff.

The left hand also began to repeat the work of the right hand just now, explored it carefully, and finally found a stable position under the right hand. Because both hands are put together, it puts forward higher requirements for power, so we can't be too greedy, advance a little bit each time, and keep rising steadily.

His left hand exuded some sweat. He put it into his pocket and twisted the anti-skid powder. Then his palm pinched it and pushed it into the gap again. After confirming the starting point of his two hands, his hands made a sudden effort, and the whole person emptied again. But this time, instead of leaving the wall in a hurry, his feet climbed up on the gravel, After Dantian raised his breath, he felt that he was as light as a swallow. He successfully took a big step forward for the task that he thought was impossible.

There's no time to be happy. I put my right hand into my pocket again and grabbed the anti-skid powder. I repeat the action just now. The boring process makes my nerves tense completely.

The raging wind roared through his arms, chest and legs, as if it could blow him away at any time, and then hit him hard on the ground; Not on the world, not on the ground in midair, just rely on the strength of both hands to grasp a gap to control the body, the sand under the sole of the foot is constantly loose and falling; The roar of the waves and the shrill cry of the eagle reflected the silence and emptiness of nature. He knew that there were companions below and above, but at this moment, it was a man's fight.

Boring? He was not boring at all. He was completely in a state of selflessness. All his thoughts were insignificant, leaving only the smooth cliffs in front of him.

Breathe in, lift up, take off.

He climbed up again, but at this time, the gap rock grasped by his left hand suddenly made a brittle sound. Before he had time to respond, his left hand grabbed a piece of gravel and loosened it. As his hands reached the extreme force, his left hand flew back along the inertia. The fingertips of his right hand could feel the huge impact force, and the fingertips of his right hand could exert the force fiercely, Leng Shi stopped his falling body for a while. His shoulders could feel the intense gravity pulling. His feet quickly began to step on the wall and stop by friction. However, in the case of rapid changes, his toes were slightly frustrated, and his brain immediately realized that he had miscalculated his sense of space. A gust of wind came, and he was less than a hair away from the wall, And then the tip of the foot works, and the result is... It's empty.

Whoa.

The whole person suddenly fell down. The strong pulling force of gravity couldn't stop at all. Then the fingertip of his right hand felt a huge tearing pain. Even so, he still couldn't hold it, because he had lost the space to exert force, so the whole person fell down like this.

The power of free fall made the heart rush up suddenly, and hit the chest hard. Then the rope at the waist pulled up hard, which prevented the falling momentum. The surging power almost broke the body, and the viscera rolled up. The stomach was tightly strangled, and the acid water was almost spit out.

The safety rope saved his life, but if it had been true unarmed climbing, he would have been buried here today. It's much worse than Paul's situation in "buried alive". He didn't even have time to be afraid, and it was over, let alone lying there with regret, fear, fear and despair. No matter Paul or Langley, at this moment, he should be glad that he is still alive, and he has the right to regret, challenge and collide.

In this way, he relaxed his limbs and hung in the air. He didn't worry about regaining control of his body. He let gravity pull his limbs down, and his strength was removed. His blood began to flow to his brain. He thought it was funny, so he laughed.

"Man, are you all right?"

Not far away came a concerned voice, and lanli made an "OK" gesture, "it's OK, I don't want to die, so the protection measures are in place."

The self mocking words made the other party laugh deeply. Then, Lan Li grabbed the rope again with both hands and took back the control of his body. He swung gently. A stone protruded from his toes, which looked like the support point he had grasped with his hands before, and then stabilized his body.

At this time, he had time to look at the same climbing partner. However, it was not the middle-aged man just now, but a guy about the age of lanli, "hall?" The other side breathed out the voice first.
