Chapter 2382: Chapter 2376: The Inexperienced
"Stop talking, I’ll go. You wait down here. Remember, it’s said that there are Snow Wolves here, so you must be careful." Ye Xuan and the others came precisely for the snowdrops and the Snow Wolves. If they’re not careful, it could be life-threatening. In unknown places, danger lurks everywhere. Even though it seems peaceful here, the more peaceful it appears, the more likely it is to be dangerous.
"We understand. Captain, you be careful." Everyone knew better than to argue with Ye Xuan. He’s the leader, and they must listen to what he says, or else it would be against the rules.
"Okay, I got it. You judge the situation yourselves." Ye Xuan looked at them and picked up the climbing gear.
In fact, there wasn’t any special equipment, just a bundle of rope and a dagger, but for them, having tools like these was already quite good. Qin Xue wasn’t here; otherwise, she would have found a way to get some climbing equipment.
Ye Xuan slowly started to climb up. It’s often said that climbing up is easy and coming down is hard. That referred exactly to their situation. Climbing up is difficult, but if you take it step by step, you can make it. However, getting down afterwards is not easy, which is why Ye Xuan thought to bring a rope. With the rope, he could find a place to secure it and climb down safely. This was why he insisted on climbing himself, because he had experience in this area. He wasn’t sure if others did, but he knew in a situation like this, one wrong move could mean falling off a cliff. Knowing this, how could he let others take the risk? That would be the greatest threat to them.
Ye Xuan climbed step by step. Here, one side of the mountain had no snow, and that’s where the snowdrops grew, but he had to climb from the snowy side, making it really difficult.
Ye Xuan looked at the flower close at hand, wanting to reach out and pick it. But in an instant, he retracted his hand because he saw a brightly colored snake coiled up not far away. What should he do? He had heard before that precious herbs were often guarded by poisonous creatures. He wasn’t quite convinced at the time, but now that he was picking it himself and seeing it, he believed it. However, in such a situation, it seemed a bit too tricky.
Ye Xuan looked at his position, then at the position of the snake and the snowdrops, and made a decision. He drew out the dagger, found a spot, moved swiftly, and with a quick slash, the shadow in front of him became two halves falling aside.
He glanced down, steadied himself, and then reached out to pick the flower. Looking at this beige flower, Ye Xuan felt it was really not easy to pick. He took out a box he had brought, opened it, put the flower inside, secured it, and then looked up before continuing his ascent.
If not for their research on the snowdrops, they wouldn’t have come here. It’s said that besides this place, they also grow on very high plateaus, but the two types differ slightly in their habits. They aimed to gather some for their research.
"Look, the Captain reached the snowdrops, but why is he still climbing?" one team member asked, seeing that Ye Xuan continued upward even after obtaining the snowdrops.
"You clearly haven’t experienced this before. If the Captain doesn’t climb up, how would he come down?" Another team member who had been on the outing with Ye Xuan laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Exactly, the Captain needs to go up to find a sturdy anchor point, secure the rope, and then come down," another experienced member echoed in agreement.
