"I have to go repair the canal with my tribesmen tomorrow and cannot accompany you, but my two sons have decent skills and should be able to help." The chief said modestly.

Gan Li and Gan Yi looked at their father and had no objection, so Xifos agreed.

The next morning, the chief's wife nervously counted the things for her two sons: "Did you bring the insect repellent powder? Where are the herbs... Well, there are many trees over there, and there are many poisonous snakes, insects and ants. You have to be careful and be careful..."

The Gantz incident really left a big shadow on her, and she was afraid that similar things would happen to her two older sons again.

Before setting off, Sifos put his daughter in a cradle and brought her to the priest. The chief's wife would not follow them this time. The three of them had to go down the valley, and no one would look after Xu Weiwei. It was absolutely impossible to leave her alone up there.

Anyway, Xu Weiwei also has to come to the priest for treatment, and there is already a patient named Gantz staying at the priest's place, so it doesn't matter if there is one more child. The two children can keep each other company and it won't be so boring.

Since there were no women or children this time, the three of them chose to travel on horseback, which was faster. Before leaving, Gan Yi sighed, "It would be great if Mr. Seaforth could ride a horse, so he wouldn't have to drive a carriage and could save half the time."

Unexpectedly, Sifos responded directly: "Really? Then let's go on horseback."

Several people were very surprised: "You can ride a horse?" During the Torch Festival before, Sifos was invited to participate in the horse race but he refused. They thought he couldn't ride.

Sifos nodded: "I have learned it, but I am not very good at it. I can still ride it without any problem."

So the three of them decided to set off on horseback.

This time, it took less than two and a half hours to reach the place where they were yesterday. There were only three of them in the empty valley, which was particularly lonely compared to the bustling scene last time.

Gan Li carefully looked down and found that it had been almost completely dug out.

"Mr. Sifos," Gan Li looked back, motioned Sifos to come over, and then pointed below to introduce him.

"We need to dig up the Ula grass that is more than three months old and less than five years old. The ones that are less than three months old are too small and have not grown yet. The ones that are more than five years old will produce grass seeds, and when they fall, they will become a field of seedlings, so we have to keep them."

"The one over there with only five leaves and less than the size of a palm is less than three months old. Based on the length of an adult male's arm, the one that reaches two-thirds of the forearm is about three months old, the one that reaches the elbow is a full year old, and the one that reaches the middle of the upper arm is more than three years old."

"As you go up, the height of the Ula grass won't change much, but the color of the leaves will become darker year by year, and the rhizomes will become thicker. From the initial green to apricot yellow. Like that -"

Gan Li pointed to a tree halfway up the mountain. There was a depression in the mountain and there was no place to step, so there was a "fish that slipped through the net".

"The edges of its leaves have turned yellow, and the stems are as thick as chopsticks, which means it is definitely more than three years old. But the ones that are completely yellow and have seeds between the leaves are five years old and can't be picked."

Sifos nodded: I understand. Anything taller than 20 centimeters and turning yellow but not completely yellow can be dug.

Gan Li took out tools, ropes, a small hoe, and a cloth bag from his backpack: "Gan Yi and I will show you how to do it first."

Gan Li put the hoe into a cloth bag, tied a knot in the rope, passed it through his armpits and put it on his body. The other end was tied to a tree, leaving a lot of room in the middle, which was controlled by Gan Yi.

The descending route that was promising the most yesterday had already been taken by others, and the other easy ones had been dug up almost completely, leaving only the tricky ones. Gan Li looked for a long time before finding a target, and then he began to climb down carefully.

Gan Yi slowly let out the rope at the same speed as him, and Sifos watched their operations from the side.

The location of that grass was indeed not good. When he reached the nearest foothold, he still couldn't reach it even with stretched out his arm. Gan Li was considered agile among the tribesmen. He was tall and light, but he still had difficulty reaching it. No wonder this grass was left behind.

Gan Li had to let one foot hang in the air and lean over to that side, only then he managed to dig it down with great effort, but it was difficult to get it back. His center of gravity was too far outward, and Gan Li wanted to push hard to bounce himself back, but unfortunately he couldn't control the force, and he completely lost his center of gravity and fell down, and the rope also slid down quickly, Gan Yi was suddenly pulled, and Sifos quickly helped him, the muscles on his arms collapsed, and he pulled hard to stop the downward momentum.

Gan Li, who was hanging in the air, slammed back and hit the mountain, cried out in pain, then quickly adjusted his posture, clung on again, and slowly climbed up.

One of them had difficulty climbing, and the other had difficulty pulling. Seeing this, Sifos shouted to both of them not to move. He took out a rope gun from his backpack, and then jumped down the cliff with a big step under Gan Yi's astonished eyes.

"Mr. Seaforth!!!"

Gan Li looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a figure falling from above. He was so scared that his eyes widened.

If you fall from such a height you will die!

Sifos lay on his back, and after falling two meters, he raised his gun, aimed at a place and pulled the trigger. The rope with claws shot out like a sharp sword, and after embedding into the mountain, the claws popped open and hooked it firmly.

After bending his knees and holding onto the cliff wall to stabilize his body, Sifos released the switch and at the same time pushed his legs outward with force, falling down another long distance. After two times, he arrived next to Gan Li.

"Hold me." Xifos put his arm around Gan Li's waist and ordered.

Gan Li's mind was blank at this moment. Like a robot without emotions that only understood instructions, he hugged Sifos's back stiffly.

The moment the switch was pressed, the rope quickly retracted, carrying the two upwards. When they reached the top, Sifos first pushed Gan Li up with all his strength, then retracted his claws and climbed up himself.

Seeing Sifos coming up, both of them were stunned and had no reaction. What happened in just five minutes was enough to shock them for a while.

First, we saw Sifos jump off the cliff on his own initiative, and then somehow a strange rope was thrown out, and the rope actually went up by itself.

The two brothers looked at each other, and each other's expressions confirmed that they were not dreaming.

Gan Li spoke in a daze: "Mr. Seaforth...just now..."

Sifos pulled the gun from his leg and explained, "This is a rope gun. There is a sharp spike on one end that can be inserted into an object to fix it. Pressing this switch can control the length of the rope. If you don't want to damage it, you can also manually pull this end out and tie it to the object you want to fix."

"Oh..." The two of them seemed to understand.

"Then, where's the rope? This gun looks so small, where did you put that long rope?"

"Still in it."

Sifos let out some rope to show the two men: "This rope is made of Hejin, which is both flexible and hard. A Hejin rope with a diameter of 0.1 cm can pull a car. The one here is 0.2 cm and is meters long."

"Oh——!" The two looked at the thin black silk thread, their eyes full of amazement.
