"What method?" The people on the other end asked in unison in Chapter 483, "This is not scientific".
Xiao Feng didn't reply immediately. Instead, he pulled out a dagger from his boot, his fingers brushing against the blade, feeling its coldness along with the crisscrossed scars.
For this dagger that had accompanied him for many years, Xiao Feng still held deep affection.
He smiled softly and whispered, "Old buddy, after this run, you can finally rest in peace."
Saying this, he picked up a rock from the ground, gripped it, and aimed the dagger at the crack in the wall, striking the end of the dagger with the rock.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
After three hits, the dagger was embedded into the wall, with only the handle left visible.
Xiao Feng looked at Lin Zhiyan from a distance and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Zhiyan suddenly understood, "You want to make an improvised zipline?"
"Smart!" Xiao Feng praised.
Without any extra words, Lin Zhiyan extended her hand and asked, "Who has a knife?"
Fujiwara Keiaki looked around, seeing that no one responded, reluctantly pulled out the short knife from his waist. As an experienced ninja, using a knife had become a habit for him.
Of course, seeing his precious blade being used like this, he couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.
Since the plan was to slide to the other side, the position to fix the rope had to be much higher than the other side, in order to achieve a sliding effect, otherwise, if both ends of the rope were level, you'd just remain in place.
Understanding this, Lin Zhiyan glanced at the height Xiao Feng set on the opposite side, stood on her tiptoes, and tried to insert the short knife even higher.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Also three strikes, and only the handle of the short knife was left visible on the wall.
Lin Zhiyan took a rope from her backpack, tied it around the knife handle, ensured it was secure, and then tossed the rope to the ground by Xiao Feng's feet on the opposite side.
Xiao Feng was equally efficient, quickly securing the rope, cutting it off, and motioning for Lu Yao to throw over the trekking pole that the ninja's shuriken had cut.
Xiao Feng took a segment of the rope, tied it to the middle of the trekking pole, so when sliding, one could hold onto both ends to maintain balance left and right.
"We're really good at making do with what we have," the little girl said cheerfully. "Old Zhao's torn pants made a torch, a piece of a broken trekking pole is now made into sliding grips, not a bit of waste!"
Everyone was speechless collectively, at this moment still not forgetting to toot their own horn?
On the opposite side, Xiao Feng tied a slip knot, pulled at it to ensure there were no issues, then threw it towards the little girl and others.
"I've made the knot, fasten the rope on it and you can slide over," Xiao Feng instructed.
At the same time, he could hardly stop himself from bragging. Only a genius could come up with this method.
"Who goes first?" Lin Zhiyan asked the group after securing the rope.
"I trust Brother Xiao Feng, I'll go first!" the little girl raised her hand and said.
After saying that, she looked at Lin Zhiyan and added, "I also trust Sister Zhiyan!"
"Such a sweet talker!" Lin Zhiyan laughed, rubbing the little girl's head, and cautioned, "We don't have pulleys, so it might not be that sturdy. You must hold on tight, no matter what, don't let go, okay?"
"Mm-hmm!" The little girl nodded heavily, then grabbed both ends of the trekking pole, ran a few steps, and lifted her feet, rushing to the other side.
"Brother Xiao Feng, I'm coming, ahhhh!"
In an instant, the little girl's scream reverberated in everyone's ears.
It was because after she rushed out, she spun several times in midair, and her sliding momentum suddenly paused.
After finally straightening out, she hadn't slid far before she began to spin again, causing another halt in momentum.
Just like that, the little girl twisted like a pretzel, turning left, turning right, stopping and going, even though it should have been a quick arrival, it took her a full two minutes.
"Hold tight, don't let go!" Xiao Feng shouted warnings at a deep voice.
This situation was certainly unexpected for him, otherwise, there's no way he'd let the little girl be the first to try sliding over.
Thinking about the little girl's trust in him, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel both shame and a bit of face-pain. Was this really necessary to be such a facer?
Hugging the little girl, Xiao Feng said, "Rest for now, the knot might have a bit of a problem."
"Brother... Brother Xiao Feng... I... I... I seem to... see... stars." The little girl slumped in Xiao Feng's arms, speaking weakly.
"..." Xiao Feng didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Anyone who spins around like this several times would surely not feel well.
"I... I feel like I'm going to puke... ugh!"
With that, she immediately made a retching sound, and threw up.
Xiao Feng gently patted the little girl's back, thinking that this couldn't go on.
If Lin Zhiyan, those who were trained, could handle it, but if it was Old Zhao, with his sleek appearance, or the older gentlemen Jiu Ye and Sun Shijie, they'd certainly fall off halfway and become snake food.
Thinking it over, Xiao Feng said, "The next person to slide over, tie your wrists to the sides of the trekking pole, getting dizzy is better than falling."
Zhao Guo'an stared wide-eyed: "Shouldn't you study how to change the knotting method?"
"If you think you can do it, go ahead, I'm out of ideas," Xiao Feng replied irritably.
After speaking, he took a bottle of water from his backpack, unscrewed it, and held it to the little girl's mouth, "Here, rinse your mouth, after a rest it'll be fine."
The little girl obediently rinsed her mouth, spat out the water, and said weakly, "I just realized now that roller coasters are child's play."
Xiao Feng smiled awkwardly, untied the trekking pole that had already slid over, and threw it back to the other side.
"Who's going second?" Lin Zhiyan asked.
Everyone hesitated, especially after seeing the little girl's state, they felt dizzy even before starting to spin.
"I'll go," Lu Yao stepped forward and said, "We have to go over anyway, it's the same either way."
The rest exchanged glances.
Everyone knows the logic, but it's like when you line up to get a shot as a kid, knowing you'll have to get it eventually, but willing to let others go first if possible.
Lu Yao took off her glasses, placed them in the glasses case to avoid being thrown off while spinning, then grabbed onto the trekking pole, with Lin Zhiyan's help, tied her wrists to it, and with a gentle push, she slid out.
However, an unexpected thing happened.
The first ten meters of Lu Yao's slide were very smooth, and although there were signs of spinning, she never actually spun around.
Even though she started to spin halfway through like the little girl, her experience was vastly different.
"This is not scientific!" the little girl stared dumbfounded at Lu Yao, who appeared perfectly fine, and turned her gaze to Xiao Feng, questioning, "Brother Xiao Feng, what is going on? You can't favor Sister Lu Yao over me like this!"
Xiao Feng was utterly speechless.
What's going on?
I too want to know what's going on.
The rope was the same rope, the knotting method was the same, the only difference was the added bindings on the wrists.
Could it be, the issue lies here?
