Chapter 150: Snow Lotus in Hand, All Other Mountains Look Small (55)

The last distance seemed extremely dangerous just by looking at it through the drone camera, not to mention Su Ran who was at the scene.

The challenges he faces are not as simple as they seem.

For Alex, a master rock climber, he knew very well how big the risk Su Ran was about to face.

"Host, I advise you to stop now!"

Seeing the barrage of comments automatically translated into Chinese floating by, Su Ran, who was about to continue, couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

Alex carefully composed a long paragraph and sent it out.

“The stage you’re facing next is something I’ve encountered before on El Capitan. It’s very challenging and I’ve even failed here.”

"I call it an extreme flat plate. This kind of rock wall is very smooth and is the most difficult to climb. There are no large bumps and depressions. Even if there are, they are less than one centimeter. You can only rely on the strength of one toe to support your entire body. It consumes a lot of physical strength."

Slopper is a professional term in rock climbing, referring to those large, smooth rock points that are too large to hold with your hands and have smooth slopes without grooves.

"I have to admit that your courage and rock climbing skills are indeed very strong. If you can plan the route here in advance and try to climb with protection, and then get familiar with it a few times, then do unprotected climbing. This is my advice to you."

What Alex said is very pertinent. Many free climbing enthusiasts will go through many field trips when doing unprotected climbing, and try to climb to the top of the mountain many times using safety ropes.

Therefore, many experts who can successfully climb without protection have done their homework and have conquered cliffs with protection.

It is very clear which path to take and where to land next in order to succeed.

Alex prepared for nine years before conquering El Capitan without protection!
Climbing an unfamiliar rock face without protection right from the start was beyond Alex's ability to handle. Even if he tried it himself, he would return empty-handed.

After hearing the explanation from industry experts, the audience also fully realized how great the risk Su Ran was facing.

It is true that if you don't seek death, you won't die.

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

Su Ran nodded seriously, his expression extremely serious, as if he had decided to give up.

No one was disappointed and Alex looked happy.

That’s right, just leave the same way you came, you have done very well now!
In fact, you have surpassed most people and even have more courage than me.

You are a true hero!

Let's go back!
Su Ran adjusted his breathing and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and used his right hand to hold a support point to bear the weight of his entire body.

Then he supported himself on the rock wall with his left hand, and using both hands to move his feet up one step.

Then use two fingers of your left hand to hold a very small raised point, and use the strength of only two fingers to complete the position change of left and right feet, and then use the thumb of your right hand to replace the two fingers of your left hand.

At this time, a large protruding rock wall appeared on his upper left. He reached out and grabbed it. Then came the last and most difficult step of the bouldering rope section.

He was faced with two choices. One was to leap over and grab the edge of the rock wall accurately, which was difficult and risky. He chose another relatively safe method, which was to do a karate flying kick.

He used his left foot to support the rock wall and at the same time held a small protrusion with his left hand. As long as his right hand could grab the gap above, he would be able to pass this difficult point.

But this method is equally dangerous, as there is a movement that relies entirely on the sole of one foot to bear all the gravity!
He just jumped easily and reached the next landing point very easily.

The whole process was very fast, leaving no time for me to react or think, nor any chance for netizens to be shocked.

Su Ran was like a gecko, climbing over the smooth cliff in two leaps.

When he successfully passed the most dangerous stage of more than 30 meters, he let out a long breath and said with a relaxed smile: "Look, I just made it. It feels very easy. Basic exercises are easy."

Su Ran's Versailles almost made the audience vomit blood.

Li Chaofei, who was standing at the foot of the cliff, felt his legs go weak and he sat down on the ground.

He claims to be the number one rock climbing enthusiast in the country, but he didn't expect to meet such a fearless person today.

"Su Shen...you are a real god. But will you die if you don't show off?"

"You dare to climb, I can't even watch, you are so strong!"

Alex was also deeply impressed by Su Ran's courage: "It seems that I underestimated you. You are amazing, even surpassing me!"

Even Alex, the number one free rock climber, was amazed that he had never seen anyone more awesome than Su Ran, which increased the vanity of netizens.

"Although you foreigners dare to challenge the limits, we Chinese are not cowards."

"What Su Ge did is not worthy of praise, but he did bring honor to our countrymen."

"Su Shen is awesome, let the foreigners feel the shock!"

The live broadcast room was flooded with comments and the number of gifts and rewards also increased abnormally.

In the final stage, Su Ran proceeded very smoothly, and soon the snow lotus was within reach.

Su Ran reached out and planted it, then put it into the basket of magnesium powder on his waist.

He created a miracle, and when the video of breaking through the limits of the tablet was spread abroad, it sparked heated discussions.

Su Ran's courage is unique in the world.

Those foreigners all sighed that they had never expected that China would have a man with such extraordinary courage and skills.

You have to know that the reality is that many extreme sports enthusiasts abroad look down on Oriental people.

They despise Orientals from the bottom of their hearts because they are timid and dare not challenge.

But now Su Ran slapped them in the face with actual actions.

"This miracle was not created by me alone, but by the millions of you behind the live broadcast room."

"If anyone thinks that we Chinese are not good enough, I am willing to accept your challenge in the future."

Su Ran's words brought tears to the audience's eyes, and their hearts were boiling with excitement and pride.

The live broadcast room was filled with all kinds of praise, and the number of likes directly exceeded 80 million.

The number of online viewers has also exceeded 10 million in history!

"Shen Su, you really make me so proud."

"In the eyes of most people, extreme sports like free climbing are stupid, reckless, and risking one's life for excitement. However, mankind needs a spirit like his."

"I can only say that Brother Su is a real man, even better than other foreign extreme challengers!"

Alex agreed with this statement, Su Ran.

This Chinese man is indeed stronger than him.

"Although this anchor has only climbed 350 meters, which is far less than half of El Capitan, the time and number of challenges he has taken are something that even I would not dare to attempt easily."

If Alex had not conducted a field survey and familiarized himself with the granite, he would definitely not dare to start climbing with his bare hands for the first time, because that would be tantamount to seeking death.

Su Ran looked up at the last 100 meters, put the last water ball into his mouth and bit it, then said with a smile: "There is only one left. Now that we are here, let's go straight to the top of the mountain to see the scenery that we haven't had time to appreciate yet."

At this moment, an eagle's howl pierced the sky came from above Su Ran's head.
-
A huge figure spread its wings and flew over the edge of the cliff.

The howling wind caused the drone's camera to shake violently. "What is that?!"

While netizens were wondering, Su Ran had already looked to the right.

It was a golden eagle with a wingspan of two meters, hovering high above the cliff.

Under the sunlight, the golden eagle's eyes appear unusually sharp, as if it can see through everything.

There is a wild majesty in its eyes that makes people feel awe.

What is even more striking is that its claws are shockingly sharp, as if they were an indestructible weapon given to it by nature.

The golden eagle seemed to have already locked onto Su Ran as its target, and swooped down on him without hesitation. Its movements were swift and accurate, as if it was a carefully planned attack. The speed of the golden eagle was beyond Su Ran's expectations, and he instantly felt a strong sense of crisis.

As the golden eagle approached, its huge wings swept through the air, bringing up a violent gust of wind. The wind was strong enough to throw Su Ran on the cliff and the drone he was carrying into chaos.

"Oh my god, it's a big eagle, Brother Su, be careful."

"It's over, it's over. This golden eagle is too unethical. If you have the guts, wait for Brother Su to come ashore and then we can have a fight."

Su Ran tried to stay calm, but the pressure from the golden eagle and the strong wind and waves made him feel unprecedented pressure. He knew that he had to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise he might fall into greater danger.

At this critical moment, Su Ran tried hard to adjust his breathing, trying to keep a certain distance from the golden eagle, while looking for a suitable opportunity to counterattack.

The golden eagle's sharp eyes and claws, as well as its amazing speed and strong winds and waves, made Su Ran feel the power and ruthlessness of nature.

Just as the golden eagle's claws, which seemed to be made of steel, were reaching towards its body, Su Ran acted decisively, holding tightly onto the small protruding rock on the rock wall with one hand and using both feet to steady his body.

The other hand decisively stretched out, drew a semicircle in the air, and actually created a wave that seemed to be there and not there, causing the golden eagle to become unstable.

It's Tai Chi.

Su Ran's hand seemed to have an afterimage, and he hit the golden eagle's abdomen with a palm, pushing it out.

The golden eagle was caught off guard and let out a terrible howl.

In the footage captured by the drone, the golden eagle flew down the cliff, rolled several times before it stabilized its body and climbed up into the sky again.

Such a thrilling scene just now directly shocked the audience in the live broadcast room.

They just felt that Su Ran's move just now was particularly unexpected to them.

"Brother Su is too strong! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to withstand it."

"I didn't see it clearly just now, Brother Su, can you show it to me again?"

Looking at the outrageous remarks made by netizens, Su Ran couldn't help but laugh.

Supporting the golden eagle to adjust his own position, Su Ran quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain.

However, the higher he climbed to the top of the mountain, the more excited the golden eagle became.

Even though he knew that he might not be able to beat Su Ran, he still risked his life to hover around Su Ran and harass him.

Even if Su Ran had superb rock climbing skills, he couldn't withstand such interference.

The audience really couldn't understand why the golden eagle wouldn't let Su Ran go.

"Brother Su, have you ever offended this golden eagle before?"

Su Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Nonsense, I've never met this guy, how can I say I offended him."

"Then why doesn't this golden eagle let you go? It must be hungry. I don't think so."

This golden eagle would definitely not attack Su Ran for no reason. It must have been offended or even made to feel dangerous in some way.

But now Su Ran still has to climb up the cliff first. It is too dangerous to stay on the cliff.

After all, he has the courage to challenge, but he is not the kind of person who likes to commit suicide.

The golden eagle became even more anxious when it saw Su Ran continuing to climb up. However, just as it was about to attack Su Ran again, Su Ran simply grabbed its wing with one hand, then swung his arm on the cliff and knocked it unconscious.

The dizzy golden eagle even stuck out its tongue and stars appeared in its eyes.

Su Ran pulled out the drawstring of his pants, tied up the golden eagle's feet and hung them around his waist: "Sorry, Brother Eagle, since you are a first-class protected animal, I will give you face, but can you also give me face?"

"I probably won't hurt you no matter what the reason is."

Su Ran tried every means to persuade the eagle, and used his animal taming skills, and soon the golden eagle was calmed down.

Seeing this, Su Ran also quickened his climbing speed.

Climbing is not easy in itself, and Su Ran was carrying a golden eagle, which made the audience admire him deeply.

In the last fifty meters it discovered a bird's nest inside the cliff.

Su Ran glanced at the innocent-looking golden eagle hanging on his waist and said with a wry smile, "So you are afraid that I will hurt your child."

It is said that motherly love is the greatest of all things in the world. After knowing the reason why the golden eagle drove Su Ran away, the audience seemed to think that it was not that excessive.

"He is a beast after all. He doesn't understand Su Ran and he is afraid that his child will be in danger, so he resorted to such a desperate measure."

"I'm a little touched. What's going on?"

"Mother's love is so great, family members."

Su Ran twisted and turned, bypassed the bird's nest above his head, and then climbed up from the other side.

When passing by the bird's nest, the little golden eagles in the nest were so anxious seeing their mother being captured.

Although they were still at an age where they needed to be fed, they cried out fiercely, as if they were using their smallest strength to warn Su Ran not to hurt their mother.

After Su Ran reached the top of the mountain, he immediately untied the golden eagle mother and put it on the ground.

The golden eagle fluttered on the ground, resting and adjusting its condition, and was not in a hurry to leave.

There is a solitary pine tree on the top of the mountain, bending on the edge of the cliff, as if waiting for someone to conquer the top of the mountain to witness its miraculous growth.

Su Ran caught a few large insects from the lonely pine tree and handed them to the golden eagle.

Looking at the worm wriggling in Su Ran's palm, the golden eagle happily took it into its mouth.

It did not swallow it, but wanted to take it back to feed its children.

This was exactly what Su Ran meant: "Golden eagles are carnivorous animals. They usually catch small animals and eat them, including insects. However, these insects are too small for adult golden eagles to hunt and are difficult to catch. But these insects are perfect for their young to eat."

Giving Su Ran a grateful look, the golden eagle leaped off the cliff and flew back to its nest.

The golden eagle cubs were particularly happy to see that their mother not only returned safely but also brought back delicious food.

The moment Su Ran successfully reached the summit, the audience also noted the time for him.

It took Su Shen only one hour and five minutes to climb the terrifying granite cliff with his bare hands.

Now he finally had enough time to appreciate the beautiful scenery he had conquered.

Standing on the top of Yunhai Mountain and looking around, a magnificent picture slowly unfolds.
