Chapter 139: You have to wait, wait by yourself
She seemed to understand why the helicopter had been circling above the Skybridge this whole time. Perhaps it was to monitor their crossing.
Song Lili really had slipped on her own, otherwise, all her moves would have been recorded.
Shen Lingxi pursed her lips and continued following Song Lili. The sky grew darker, and the 1,200-meter Skybridge was much longer than they had imagined.
After finishing the walk, Song Lili was the first to reach Luqing Mountain. She leaned against a big tree, her legs trembling slightly, a sensation only she could feel.
This process wasn’t as calm as she imagined.
Shen Lingxi’s condition after coming down from the Skybridge wasn’t any better than Song Lili’s. She lay prostrate on a rock, her forehead sweating profusely, droplets falling one by one.
It became completely dark, and no one had expected that just crossing the bridge would take nearly two hours. During the period when the wind shook the bridge, no one dared to move.
It was due to a lack of experience...
Song Lili summarized in her heart that no amount of theoretical knowledge or outdoor exploration experience could compare to such a nerve-wracking practice where one seemed to have no ground in front and no support behind.
If they hadn’t stepped carefully on the planks, or if there had been a hurricane at that time, they would have fallen into the abyss without any protection!
These two were among the best of the newcomers. It was clear that the ten people who had gone ahead were not faring much better, especially Lin Xinglan, whose foot had been injured.
Once the group arrived at Luqing Mountain, they immediately noticed the peculiar beauty of the mountain rocks and the sparse tree cover, which meant that as night fell, the chill of the mountain quickly became apparent, especially as they neared the summit where the temperature difference between day and night was extremely stark.
"Qing Luo... should we wait for Xiao Hua? Why haven’t we seen her at all?"
Lin Xinglan, lying on Qing Luo’s back, hesitated and asked.
"Since she decided to cover the rear, and she has Shen Lingxi, that ’Amulet’, she must be confident she can make it over smoothly."
Qing Luo hadn’t spoken when Bian Yiyi interjected.
"Shen Lingxi... an ’Amulet’?"
Lin Xinglan unwittingly furrowed his brow, "Whose ’Amulet’?"
Bian Yiyi replied with some impatience, "Lin Xinglan, weren’t you listening when Tang Xiao Hua spoke? Even Zheng Caisheng wouldn’t dare mess with Shen Lingxi, do you think anyone else would have the guts to do anything to her?"
"No, what I mean is... Shen Lingxi doesn’t have good intentions towards Xiao Hua, so how could he possibly act as her ’Amulet’?"
"..."
"Qing Luo, let’s wait for Xiao Hua and then all go together."
"If you want to wait, you wait on your own!"
Bian Yiyi replied irritably, truly annoyed with Lin Xinglan.
When Tang Xiaohua suggested crossing the Skybridge, Lin Xinglan had said it was no problem, but when they were actually on the bridge, she froze because of her fear of heights. If not for Qing Luo’s patience, Bian Yiyi, with his temper, might have dropped her off the cliff!
The route was already treacherous, and both he and Qing Luo had to alternately carry Lin Xinglan. Her cries of panic nearly shattered their ears all along the way!
Who knew that once they were down, she would claim her legs had gone numb from fear.
So... the two men had no choice but to carry Lin Xinglan and keep going.
They had thought that Luqing Mountain would be the easiest to climb, but upon actually setting foot on it, they were instantly bewildered!
Unlike Luoshe Mountain and Luoheng Mountain, which had at least a cover of forests and solid mountain paths, Luqing Mountain had a complicated structure with more than one peak, and they quickly lost their direction amidst the varying heights.
