"what happened to you?"

Xu Yi was pulling the vine in his hand, but suddenly he couldn't move it anymore. He heard her cry softly and couldn't help but ask.

"I think my foot was injured when I fell. Now it hurts every time I move, and I can't use any strength."

Qiao Xi tried twice more and still couldn't exert any strength.

"Ah wu——"

Hearing the wolf howling, she became even more anxious.

She tried again, not believing it, and used almost all her strength, but it only moved a little bit.

If she continued to move like this, she would not be able to reach the top by daybreak.

Xu Yi on top felt the vine shaking slightly, and he tried to pull it out, but the vine only moved up a little, as if it was stuck. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out anymore.

“Ahhh—ahhh—”

“Ahhh—ahhh—”

"Why are there so many wolves howling?"

Qiao Xi asked Xu Yi above.

She didn't know if it was because she was anxious or because she was tired from holding on to the vines, but sweat appeared on her forehead and neck.

The sweat flowed down her cheeks and nose, and a few drops of sweat flowed into her eyes, which was very sour and uncomfortable, making her squeeze her eyes constantly.

The key point is that her palms are sweaty. She was barely able to hold on to the vines just now, but now she is showing signs of slipping.

Without her saying anything, Xu Yi also noticed something was wrong.

His intuition told him that something was wrong.

He stopped pulling at the vines and looked around.

I saw a few pairs of green eyes not far away. They were the eyes of wolves.

Because of the night, the green light of their eyes is very conspicuous.

He roughly counted and found that there were four wolves.

The green lights were still slowly approaching them.

Xu Yi looked down at the torch on the ground, thought about it for a moment, and gave up.

Because a torch can no longer scare them away.

He looked to the side again, but saw that there were only low bushes around, and there was no big tree for him to climb up and take shelter.

Looking down, the vine in his hand was still swaying slowly.

Time was urgent and Xu Yi had no time to think about it. He could only tell Qiao Xi to quickly catch her own vines.

Qiao Xi waited for a while but didn't get his answer. Instead, she heard these words.

I secretly wondered: He wouldn't be backing off because he saw that he couldn't get her to do it.

He just left like that, what should she do?

Seeing that she hadn't moved, Xu Yi couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Hurry up!"

Forget it, she'll catch him first.

But just as she let go of the vine that Xu Yi gave her, she heard a rustling sound coming from it.

The sound was obviously made by something rubbing against the vines.

"Xu Yi?"

Is he trying to break the vines?

"I'm here."

She thought he would ignore her, but as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yi's voice came over.

But the sound startled her.

Not for any other reason, just because the voice seemed so close to her.

She looked up and saw a figure sliding down one meter above her head.

"What are you doing down here?"

Qiao Xi's voice trembled slightly, and she looked at the person who shouldn't be here with shock.

It would be troublesome if she was trapped alone, and if he came down too, who would rescue them both?

Xu Yi went down until he was almost level with her, and did not answer her question. Instead, he raised his head and motioned her to look up.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi looked up quickly.

Oh my god! She was so frightened by this sight that she almost screamed.

There were actually several green lights above my head, and the green lights slowly gathered together.

She couldn't help swallowing and whispered, "Are those green lights wolves?"

"Yeah!" Xu Yi lowered his head to check the situation under his feet and responded in a low voice.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Qiao Xi dared not say another word.

I thought to myself, no wonder he came down suddenly, it turned out that he was forced to come down by the wolves.

"What do we do now?"

Qiao Xi glanced at Xu Yi, who was moving around slowly and calmly.

Afraid that he would break the vine by moving around, Qiao Xi whispered, "Stop moving! This vine may look thick, but it won't withstand your grinding."

Xu Yi ignored it until he turned his gaze away from his surroundings.

Just hearing his calm voice, the sound alone could slowly calm people down.

"Your feet hurt going up, but what about going down?"

"What do you mean?"

Qiao Xi was a little confused. She had thought about going down, but the vines could only go so far.

But she soon understood what Xu Yi meant.

Her vision was blurry as she watched Xu Yi reach behind him and fumble around for a while.

Then he had something in his hand that was almost as long as his arm.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a torch.

"Take it!" Xu Yi handed the torch to Qiao Xi.

Watch her take it, and then reach into her arms for something.

Before Qiao Xi could see clearly what it was, he blew on it, and it slowly began to catch fire, and then a small flame ignited.

It's a fire stick.

Qiao Xi understood and quickly put the torch in her hand to the flame to light it.

With the light, everything around becomes clear.

In the light of the torch, they both looked down.

The good news is that they are not too far away from the bottom of the slope, but the problem is that neither of their vines can reach the bottom of the slope.

Xu Yi held up the torch and shone it on other places at the bottom of the slope. There was actually a cliff at the bottom of the slope.

That is to say, even if they reach the bottom of the slope, they cannot get out.

There is death above and there is death below.

"Are we going down?" Josie whispered.

Xu Yi watched her slide down a little, then struggle to climb up a little, his eyes slightly raised, "You can wait until you can no longer hold on and fall."

After saying this, he looked at the steep slope beside him.

Qiao Xi curled her lips. She decided to go down on her own initiative. Although the height wasn't too high, the fall would still be severe. There was also the possibility that she would fall directly off the cliff because she couldn't control the direction and strength.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing him constantly looking at the steep slope, Qiao Xi was very curious. What was there to see on that steep slope?

Xu Yi looked up, but did not answer her. Instead, he reached out and handed her the torch.

Josie reached out to take it, but didn't take her eyes off him.

Soon, Xu Yi's actions gave her the answer.

Xu Yi grabbed the vine with one hand and stretched out the other hand to touch the stone wall.

He carefully groped over it for a while, then moved to another place to grope.

His frown slowly relaxed, he exhaled, and looked at Qiao Xi with his dark eyes, "Remember where I grab you, don't take a single wrong step."

Qiao Xi was a little confused, but then she opened her mouth in shock.

Xu Yi's hand that was holding the vine actually loosened.

I thought he would fall, but I saw him lying on the stone wall like a gecko.

This was not a big deal, he could actually climb down the rock wall slowly.

Thinking of what he had just said, Qiao Xi wanted to refuse, but when she looked up at the green light above her head that had not yet dissipated, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
