Chapter 149: Unprotected Rock Climbing Shocks the Internet (35)

Su Ran turned on the intercom system and shouted, "Don't go any further. Come down quickly. This granite is not so easy to conquer. If you fall down, think about what will happen to your family."

Li Chaofei still has confidence in himself. He knows that he will not fall, but the higher he climbs, the greater the risk he faces.

But since the forest rangers came to drive them away, he had no choice but to come down.

"You three are quite brave. Give me your ID cards." Su Ran registered their ID cards and reminded them not to take any more risks.

Li Chaofei sighed and said, "Brother, you don't understand. For us rock climbing enthusiasts, it's worth risking our lives to conquer an unreachable cliff."

Su Ran disagreed. He controlled the drone again and continued to fly upwards: "Look at how high and steep this cliff is. You are still climbing without protection. You really don't know what's good for you."

In the photos taken by the drone, every texture of the rock wall was extremely clear, and plants were growing in some cracks. However, Li Chaofei couldn't help but feel palpitations as the rock wall became smoother as he went higher.

"Anyway, I would never go rock climbing after having nothing to do after eating."

As soon as he finished speaking, a snow lotus suddenly appeared in the camera.

This snow lotus grows in the crevice, growing freely, as if it has been waiting to be discovered by Su Ran at this moment.

The audience was stunned when they saw the cabbage-like plant appearing in the camera.

"Brother Su, is this Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Not all snow lotus are called Tianshan snow lotus, but the value of snow lotus itself is very high and it is a rare and precious medicinal material.

"This is snow lotus, a type of Tianshan snow lotus. Generally, only the snow lotus in Xinjiang is called Tianshan snow lotus, but the snow lotus we see now is also very precious."

Someone in the live broadcast room has already taken a fancy to this snow lotus.

The lowest price is 100,000 yuan, and some Chinese medicine practitioners hope to buy this snow lotus.

Su Ran didn't want to miss this opportunity to make money: "The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a protected plant and can't be pulled out, but this kind of snow lotus is not strictly controlled at present. It's just sitting there anyway, so don't waste it."

Seeing Su Ran rubbing his hands, Li Chaofei was stunned: "No, brother, you don't want to pick this snow lotus, don't you say you won't commit suicide?"

"You also know that your behavior is courting death, right?" Su Ran chuckled, "I want to climb the rock just for this snow lotus, not because I have nothing better to do."

The height of the snow lotus was measured by a drone and it was about 350 meters.

Hearing this number, Li Chaofei took a step back.

In fact, sometimes when I get excited, I think it’s nothing, but now Li Chaofei is very calm and knows how difficult it is to climb this cliff.

"You don't want to climb up there with your bare hands?"

"Brother, I advise you not to take the risk. This is 300 meters, and you are not a professional climber. It would be very dangerous to go up without any preparation."

The style of painting suddenly became a little strange.

Obviously, it was Su Ran who advised the three of them not to take the risk of death in the beginning, but now the situation has completely reversed.

Because it was the first time for everyone to see Su Ran rock climbing, they were definitely unsure about him.

In fact, Su Ran still had great confidence. Although this cliff was too smooth to bear force, as long as his arm and leg strength were strong enough, he could support himself even with just one finger.

Some foreign rock climbing masters have also challenged granite cliffs of nearly a thousand meters high with their bare hands.

The famous Alex rose to international fame after climbing the more than 800-meter-high El Capitan with his bare hands.

Even Su Ran, an outsider, has watched documentaries about him and knows about his deeds.

Perhaps for Li Chaofei, conquering this cliff means becoming the domestic Alex.
-
"Don't worry, I never do things recklessly."

Su Ran values ​​his life very much, and with the enhancement of his body skills and strength, Su Ran can now use his own strength in a very coordinated manner.

So there will be no mistakes in this climb.

Su Ran started warming up directly.

Because there are various problems and even potential dangers that may be encountered when rock climbing, and any negligence may be fatal, it is very necessary to warm up in advance to ensure that there will be no problems with the body.

"I must get this snow lotus. Three hundred meters is quite high, but it's still early. Let's see if I can finish picking it early and go have lunch."

Li Chaofei on the side was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.

"So you are in Versailles?"

"Why do these words come out of your mouth so easily?"

"Brother, do you know that the cliff you are about to face is half the size of the El Capitan that Alex conquered? But as long as you can conquer it, you will be the second best rock climber in the world, and you will be a household name in China."

Li Chaofei's series of words made Su Ran laugh: "It's a bit exaggerated to be a household name, but I have never thought about becoming the best rock climber in China."

If there weren't snow lotus on the cliff, Su Ran would have turned around and gone home to rest after dissuading these climbers.

At this moment, Su Ran had finished his warm-up exercises. He looked up at the unreachable cliff, and the eyelids of the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but twitch.

But Su Ran opened his arms with a relaxed look as if he wanted to hug the whole mountain: "Xue Lian, I'm here to find you!"

As he spoke, Su Ran poured all the magnesium powder on the waists of the three people together, and then tied it around his own waist.

"Wait, take this with you." Although he didn't know if Su Ran could do it, Li Chaofei still handed him two water balls to quench his thirst.

One is pure water and the other is glucose.

Just put it in your mouth and bite through the edible membrane on the outside to drink the water inside.

"So professional." Su Ran smiled. After applying magnesium powder on his hands, Su Ran officially took his first step.

There was a clear target in his eyes, and that was the snow lotus growing on the cliff.

But Li Chaofei, looking up, knew that if Su Ran could succeed in this battle, he would surely become famous.

The cliff is indeed as smooth as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe, and its nearly ninety-degree verticality to the ground increases the difficulty of conquering it.

From a professional rock climbing perspective, Su Ran now discovered that there were indeed too few fulcrums on the rock wall.

Fortunately, he can coordinate his body perfectly, and when his hands grab the next landing point, the power will be concentrated in his hands.

At this moment, Su Ran had climbed to a height of more than 20 meters.

The height ahead was very easy for Su Ran, because Su Ran activated the drone companion flight mode, so the audience had two perspectives to watch Su Ran's live broadcast.

In the drone footage, Su Ran was like a nimble mountain goat. It was a small raised landing point that no one could hold on to, but Su Ran was able to use that tiny spot to keep himself steady on the cliff.

The millions of fans in the live broadcast room felt awesome but also terrified at the same time.

"Su Shen, you should never climb like this. For someone who has never climbed before, climbing up without any protection is the same as committing suicide. You should at least bring a climbing plug and insert it into the crack of the rock. It might save your life at the critical moment."

"Unprotected rock climbing is no less than parkour on tall buildings. I can only say that it is a bet with the God of Hell."

"Brother Su, it's not necessary. It's just a few hundred thousand snow lotus. If it really doesn't work, there are so many viewers in the live broadcast room. If each of us gives you one dollar, you will have nearly one million."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Daring to commit suicide seems to be Su Shen's consistent style, and he has indeed never failed. It is probably because of Su Shen's willingness to risk his life that I am deeply attracted to him."

On the rock wall, there are occasionally some bushes that grow tenaciously from the cracks in the rocks, swaying left and right in the wind.

No one can understand Su Ran’s current situation, nor can anyone personally experience the feeling of being lonely at the top.

The audience originally thought that Su Ran was too focused on climbing to read their comments, but they didn't expect that Su Ran not only had the time to read the comments, but also joked with them while climbing:
"The higher we climbed, the stronger the wind became. It felt like the drone was hovering unsteadily."

After Su Ran finished speaking, he continued to work hard, moving swiftly on the rock wall.

All kinds of leaps, hangs, swings, grabs and sticks are done with ease.

Each movement seemed to be undesigned, yet it was so perfect that his body blended into the vertical rock wall.

His live broadcast has become popular overseas.

You have to know that the ones who are most daring to commit suicide are the foreigners.

They are also the group that likes to watch this kind of live broadcast the most.

Some overseas netizens specifically climbed over the firewall to enter Su Ran's live broadcast room.

Even the famous Alex entered the live broadcast room and praised him: "This is definitely a professional extreme challenge athlete. In fact, physical fitness is not the most important thing for rock climbing."

"It's the brain's thinking. Because when climbing, you not only need to find the next foothold, but also need to plan the next dozen footholds in advance, because once you take a random step, when you don't plan the route in advance, you will encounter a situation where there is no way to go."

"When you find that there is no suitable landing point, you are really stuck in a dilemma. Even if you want to quit, there is no chance."

As a result, the audience in the live broadcast room became even more worried about Su Ran, and they even stopped breathing involuntarily, only breathing in and out slightly.

At this time, Su Ran had successfully climbed 150 meters.

And only less than an hour had passed.

Although Alex intuitively felt that Su Ran was a very professional and experienced rock climber, the cliff became steeper as the height increased.

The cliff even began to slowly tilt outward.

This means that climbers can no longer rest by leaning against the cliff, but must constantly use their limbs to support themselves from falling backwards.

Especially since it requires great hand strength.

After analyzing Su Ran's current situation, Alex especially felt that watching his live broadcast was suffocating.

As for those netizens who were watching the fun, they had already put themselves in Su Ran's shoes and were afraid that she would fall and be smashed to pieces.

"Warm reminder, you who are watching the live broadcast now can breathe."

A barrage of comments passed by, easing the atmosphere in the live broadcast room a lot. The audience, who were holding their breath, began to breathe in the air greedily like drowning people escaping to the surface of the water.

At this time, Su Ran had already started to rest.

It wasn’t that he was tired and had no strength left, but that he needed a minute to plan the subsequent climbing route before entering the next stage of rock climbing.

"The next cliff I faced was tilted outward at an angle of about eight degrees. There were only some slightly bulging smooth rock bags on the cliff, so it was difficult to use it as leverage."

Su Ran estimated that the distance of this section of road was about thirty meters, fortunately it was not very far.

As long as he could conquer this place in one go, the next 100 meters would be much easier.

Su Ran put a water ball into his mouth and bit it.

Suddenly the dry mouth was moistened.

In an instant, Su Ran felt that his physical strength had returned to full strength again.

"Friends, I am about to launch the final sprint. Success or failure depends on this!"
