Trembling At A High Altitude

"Are you okay?" Li Teng couldn't look down as he was lying on top, so he could only shout to Liu Hui.

"I'm alive!"

Liu Hui, who was hanging below, looked around and up and down, and couldn't help but feel desperate.

This is a crack between two cliffs, more than a hundred meters deep and more than ten meters wide.

Due to long-term snow accumulation, the bottom has been compacted into huge ice blocks, and the surface layers have been closed together, making it impossible to detect when walking from above.

But that wasn't what made her most desperate.

What made her most desperate was... She could clearly tell based on the length of the rope between the two of them that Li Teng was no longer on the main body of the mountain, but on the prominent ice block formed by the snow. !

This means that the ice beneath Li Teng may break again at any time due to the weight of the two of them.

Then, the two of them fell into the deep cliff of more than 100 meters together.

"Can you climb up from below?" Li Teng asked Liu Hui.

The distance between the two is more than ten meters, so the shouting must be very loud. This seemed to trigger an avalanche, but there was nothing that could be done.

"I'm quite far away from the cliff, so I can only find a way to swing over, but the force on you will be great, so you have to fix yourself tighter." Liu Hui answered Li Teng.

"I'm thinking of a way." Li Teng took out a rock wedge from his body and smashed it into the ice hammer under him.

"Stop smashing it!" Liu Hui shouted loudly.

She could clearly see below that with Li Teng's hammering, terrifying cracks appeared in the ice cubes under Li Teng. If Li Teng continued to smash like this, sooner or later the ice cubes under him would fall from the cliff. Disconnect on top.

"What's wrong?" Li Teng stopped.

"There is a suspended piece of ice under you! It will break at any time!" Liu Hui told Li Teng the truth, and then immediately regretted it.

If you tell Li Teng about this at this time, maybe Li Teng will take out a dagger and directly cut the rope between the two. Only in this way can you ensure that he will not be pulled off by Liu Hui.

The two fell into silence for a while.

Now, Liu Hui's life was all in Li Teng's hands.

"I've nailed a wedge, you try to swing to the rock wall." Li Teng's shout appeared above again.

"Okay, I'll try."

Liu Hui adjusted her posture, put her legs away and shifted her weight back, then straightened her legs and swung forward.

I repeated this several times but still couldn't get close to the cliff.

The ice beneath Li Teng above her made a terrible clicking sound again because of her shaking, and the cracks were getting bigger and more obvious!

Suddenly, Li Teng screamed above him. The ice beneath him suddenly broke. The mountaineering hammer in his hand was also pulled out of the ice. Most of his body was suspended on the broken ice. outside the block.

After the broken ice block fell, Liu Hui happened to be swayed to the inside of the cliff, so she was not crushed to death by the huge ice block.

After the ice block fell more than a hundred meters below, it hit some of the previous ice blocks, making a 'Bang! ’ The loud sound shattered.

The two of them were now hanging in the air completely relying on a rock wedge that Li Teng had just smashed into the ice without falling.

Liu Hui was trembling all over and didn't dare to wander anymore.

If he swayed any longer, Li Teng was pulled down by her.

"How is your situation? What should I do now?" Li Teng shouted to Liu Hui. He didn't dare to hit the ice block in front of him with his mountaineering hammer. When the time came, he failed to stabilize his body and broke the ice block. He would be dead.

Liu Hui held the rope tightly and looked at Li Teng above her, her face full of fear and she couldn't say a word.

She had never been in this situation before and she didn't know what to do.

In fact, she knew better that in this situation, Li Teng's most correct choice was to use a dagger to cut the rope.

If not, both of them would die together, but if she did, only she would die.

I don’t know if he hasn’t thought about this level yet, so he didn’t do it.

"I don't know how to cut the rope! Tell me, what should I do now?" Li Teng shouted downwards a few more times, as if he had guessed what Liu Hui was thinking at this time.

"I don't know!" Liu Hui burst into tears.

"Depend on!"

Hearing what Liu Hui said, Li Teng felt completely cold.

The rookie leads the rookie, and they die together.

The two fell into a deathly silence again.

"Cut the rope."

A few minutes later, Liu Hui spoke.

Although she didn't want Li Teng to do this, she knew that Li Teng would do it sooner or later. Instead of being afraid all the time, she might as well give it a try. After all, there was no other way to think of it.

There was no need for her to die and take him with her.

"It can't be cut. If it is cut, there's nothing we can do about it!" Li Teng sighed.

"She doesn't care about my life or death!" Liu Hui cried again.

"How can you say that? Little Tuzhi cherishes the lives of animals so much, and she will definitely value family and affection more. Stop thinking about it and think of a way to get out of trouble!" Li Teng yelled at Liu Hui.

"There is no way! Just cut it off!" Liu Hui was desperate.

"Is there any rock on the cliff below you that you can stand on? Or a place where you can hang a climbing hammer?" Li Teng asked Liu Hui.

"Let me see... maybe..." Liu Hui answered Li Teng.

"I will try to climb up with a mountaineering hammer later, and then nail a few more wedges to the ice. If the ice does not break, I will pull you up after fixing my body. If the ice breaks from the edge of the cliff, If it opens, we will fall together. You can find a way to get close to the cliff and fix your body on the cliff, can you do it?" Li Teng told Liu Hui his plan.

"I'll try." Liu Hui agreed bravely.

She knew that Li Teng was risking his life and saving hers with his life.

If he cuts the rope, it won't be a big problem for him to climb back to the snow peak by himself.

But if a wedge is forcibly driven into the ice, there is a high chance that the ice will be broken by the hammer and the two of them will fall into the deep cliff together.

Li Teng said nothing more. He began to hammer rock wedges on the ice, regardless of the sound of the ice breaking.

After hammering three rock wedges in, the ice still did not break.

Li Teng stabilized his body, and then began to hammer the rock wedges upwards. Using these rock wedges, he used his arms to slowly pull most of his body back to the top of the ice.

Liu Hui held the rope tightly with both hands and kept her eyes fixed on Li Teng and the ice cubes above.

The piece of ice hanging on the two of them could break at any time, and life and death could only happen in an instant.

Taking the risk of hammering rock wedges on the ice, Li Teng finally pulled his body back to the ice bit by bit.

As long as you advance another half meter, you can drive the rock wedge into the ice at the stress point inside the cliff!

Li Teng took out a rock wedge again and smashed it into the ice in front of him with a mountaineering hammer.

Unexpectedly, this blow was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The ice block under Li Teng completely broke and collapsed after making a terrifying "click" sound.

Along with Liu Hui's scream below, Li Teng's body also fell.
