Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1708: Slowly Ascending

Chen Feng’s sudden attack made Lin Mengyao completely unable to dodge.

In an instant,

Lin Mengyao’s little face turned red enough to drip blood.

She really didn’t expect Chen Feng to be so direct.

Coming and going so suddenly.

This made her incredibly shy.

At this moment, if there were a crack in the ground,

she would undoubtedly dive right in without hesitation.

"Now, I’ve made it up to you, so don’t be mad anymore!"

Chen Feng looked at Lin Mengyao’s flushed face and grinned.

"Chen Feng... you... you’re so annoying!"

Lin Mengyao glanced at Chen Feng, her face flushed with annoyance.

"How am I annoying? You told me to make it up to you, so I did. See how well I listen to you!"

Chen Feng said with a mischievous smile.

"You... you..."

Lin Mengyao was so embarrassed she didn’t know what to say.

After all, as just a high school student, how could she be a match for Chen Feng?

Watching Lin Mengyao’s frustrated look,

Chen Feng also grinned, then hugged Lin Mengyao gently and said, "Yaoyao, thank you!"

"Thank me for what?"

Lin Mengyao froze for a moment and asked confusedly.

"Thank you for going all out to give me CPR just now!"

Chen Feng said softly.

"I... I saw you weren’t breathing, and besides, it was because you saved me that you ended up that way. Who would have thought you were tricking me!"

Lin Mengyao shot a glare at Chen Feng and said irritably.

"Haha, I saw you were too nervous earlier, so I wanted to tease you a bit. I didn’t expect to gain an unexpected reward!"

Chen Feng grinned.

"Hmph, Chen Feng, remember, no matter what, don’t ever trick me again, especially not using your safety, because... because I’ll be very, very worried!"

Lin Mengyao snorted coldly, her face slightly red as she spoke.

Upon hearing this,

Chen Feng froze for a moment, then nodded seriously, saying, "Yaoyao, don’t worry, I will never trick you again!"

"That’s more like it!"

Lin Mengyao nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at the cliff wall, puzzled, "By the way, why did we fall just now?"

"I don’t know the exact situation, but I guess the sturdiness of this cliff wall varies. Some places are particularly solid, while others are not so solid."

"The place where I made the handprint was probably an unstable spot. When I hit it, it was beyond its capacity, and stepping on it made the handprint shatter on the spot. As a result, my position was unstable, which led to the fall!"

Chen Feng analyzed with a frown.

"So what should we do now?"

Lin Mengyao asked worriedly.

"It’s okay, we’ll follow the previous handprints back up to that unstable spot and bypass it slowly; we can definitely make it up!"

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head as he spoke.

"Alright, let’s continue then!"

Lin Mengyao nodded.

Seeing this,

surprise flashed in Chen Feng’s eyes as he smiled and asked, "In such a hurry, aren’t you afraid?"

"I’m not afraid anymore!"

Lin Mengyao shook her head and said worriedly, "I’m a bit worried about Yuxin and Xiaoli; now that we’re down here, they might fall into Zhong Siquan’s hands, so we need to get back up quickly!"

"Makes sense, let’s continue then!"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, grabbing the rope to tie Lin Mengyao onto his back again, then climbing up the cliff wall using the previous handprints.

With the prior handprints, the speed was notably quicker this time.

Upon reaching the point where they previously fell,

Chen Feng bypassed that rocky area, making two more handprints nearby with his palms.

Once he confirmed the handprints were solid,

he continued to climb up.

Just like that,

Chen Feng kept making handprints as he climbed up, quickly reaching around five hundred meters.

However, right then,

the previous situation happened again.

As Chen Feng’s feet stepped on a handprint pit, it shattered.

All at once,

both Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao fell downward.

"Ah!!!"

Lin Mengyao screamed again and again in fright.

However, with the experience from last time,

this time Chen Feng didn’t end up as messy as before.

He took a deep breath, timing it right during the fall, and gripped the two prior handprints tightly.

This halted Chen Feng from falling, leaving him hanging on the cliff wall.

At this moment, he and Lin Mengyao were just over a hundred meters from the ground.

Meaning just now, he and Lin Mengyao fell nearly four hundred meters.

Thankfully, Chen Feng reacted promptly, applying his daring skill, and held onto the handprints firmly.

Otherwise, they would have ended up back where they started.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?"

Chen Feng turned his head to glance at Lin Mengyao with concern.

"We..."

Lin Mengyao opened her eyes, looked around, and was stunned, her face pale as she asked, "Did we not fall this time?"

"No, I managed to stop us in time; if you’re okay, let’s keep climbing!"

Chen Feng shook his head, smiling as he spoke.

"I’m alright, Chen Feng, just keep climbing; don’t worry about me!"

Lin Mengyao said firmly.

Seeing this,

Chen Feng smiled slightly, then continued climbing upwards.

Upon reaching around five hundred meters, he once again circumvented the fractured area, making new handprints along the climb.

However,

progressing upward still had a long way to go.

And similar situations would still occur.

Yet,

Chen Feng had no intention of giving up.

Each time they fell, Chen Feng immediately climbed back up.

Like this, although the speed of ascent was slow, they continued rising bit by bit.

At this pace, they were bound to climb to the top sooner or later...

As time passed, a day and night went by.

In the cave,

the originally warm and cozy cave

was once again restored to its former state.

The bonfire had been destroyed by people sent by Zhong Siquan.

The woolen rug, silk quilt, and food were all taken by Li Dagang and others.

The cave now lacked its previous warmth.

Sun Xiaoli crouched in the corner, crying softly.

Because when Chen Feng left the cave earlier, he asked her to stay and watch over it.

But now, everything was ruined.

This made her feel extremely guilty as she secretly wiped her tears here all day and night.

Even without food or drink, she felt no hunger.

Just then,

footsteps sounded from outside the cave...
