Chapter 595: Chapter 597: Seems Like There’s a Person
Fortunately, Yadang was safe and sound.
He jumped down excitedly, "The way is clear up top, the branches are strong, let’s walk above!"
Gaiyin gave a faint nod, wrapping his arm around Su Tang’s waist, who responded by holding his neck tightly.
Her vision blurred momentarily, and when it cleared up, she found herself standing firmly on the tree trunk.
The surface of the tree looked smooth, but in fact it was rough, which created significant friction against their grass-rope shoes. So long as they maintained their balance, she believed they wouldn’t fall. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The trunk was about ten meters above the ground and was only wide enough for one person to walk on. Su Tang’s heart pounded at the sight.
Gaiyin held Su Tang and adjusted their positions, his deep voice resonated near her ear, "Don’t be afraid, I will walk in front of you. Just hold onto me and don’t look down."
With his words, his warm breath continuously licked her ear, a tingling sensation quickly spreading through half of her body.
Su Tang’s heart pounded rhythmically, her emotions mixed with both anticipation and fear.
She clasped Gaiyin’s fingers firmly, a determined look on her face, "Let’s go, I will follow right behind you."
Gaiyin nodded, leading Su Tang carefully from one branch to another, successfully sliding onto the trunk of the second tree and stabilizing herself.
Su Tang released a sigh of relief and waved cheerfully at Qiu Mo, "Momo, it’s really simple, don’t be afraid! Just don’t look down, that’s all!"
Momo’s tears were on the brink of falling as she nodded. She didn’t want to look down, but she couldn’t help but sneak a peek, her legs trembling uncontrollably, unable to stop.
By the time Su Tang and the others had moved to the fourth large tree, Momo had finally, with the support of Yadang and Xi, arrived trembling on the second tree.
However, after courageously taking the first step, the progress afterwards was much smoother.
About an hour later, they had to swallow another Detoxification Pill and took a short rest against the tree trunk.
Just as they were about to leave, Su Tang pointed in the direction of the tree below and suddenly asked, "Ayin, does that look like someone there?"
Gaiyin looked over and nodded, "Yes, there’s someone there."
Su Tang’s heart leaped, "Should we go check then? Did they get stuck in the swamp? Are they still alive?"
Gaiyin squinted and surveyed for a while, and responded uncertainly, "Their legs are stuck in the swamp, and they have their eyes closed. I can’t tell if they’ve passed out or died."
Su Tang looked around anxiously and noticed the person trapped in the swamp was directly under the intersection of three tree trunks.
She still had some of the ropes Ye Qiao had reminded her to take in her Space, so an idea gradually came into her mind.
She leaned over and whispered something to Gaiyin, and after discussing it, she took the hemp rope from her Space and handed it over to him.
Gaiyin moved her to a safer spot and then headed to the intersection of tree branches with the rope.
Seeing what was going on, Yadang, who was on the tree behind them, frowned slightly, "What is Gaiyin doing? Why did he leave Su Tang alone there?"
Xi stepped aside slightly, a shadow on the ground visible through a gap of the tree they were hiding behind.
"There seems to be someone on the ground. They might be trying to rescue them."
Yadang, not being able to see the intersection, was fretting impatiently.
Xi: "Why don’t you go and help him? I will bring Amo to watch over Su Tang."
