Chapter 220
He tried desperately to grab something with his hands, but the rock wall was too smooth and he couldn't grab anything. In the process of sliding down, his clothes were torn by the rocks and his body was scratched with several scars.
Fortunately, after sliding down for a distance, he was finally stopped by a slightly protruding rock and did not fall directly to the ground. Wang Lei lay there in shock, gasping for breath, his heart still beating wildly because of the thrill just now.
He raised his head and looked at the cave above that seemed out of reach, and a deep sense of frustration surged in his heart.
At this moment, Wang Lei saw a rope being slowly lowered from above, and then heard Banxia's voice: "Brother Wang, hold on to the rope and I'll pull you up."
Wang Lei was delighted, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly reached out to hold the rope tightly.
Banxia above held the rope tightly with both hands. She wrapped one end of the rope around a solid rock several times, made sure it was stable, and began to pull it up with force.
Her arm muscles were tense, and she put all her strength into every move. As Banxia pulled, the rope rose little by little, and Wang Lei also began to climb up with the help of the rope.
Wang Lei held the rope with both hands alternately and pushed the rock wall with his feet, trying hard to coordinate with Banxia's pulling force.
His face was covered in sweat, his eyes revealed determination and a hint of nervousness. Every time he climbed up a step, he had to make great efforts. His arms were sore from the effort, and his legs were shaking slightly.
With Banxia's unremitting efforts and Wang Lei's persistence, Wang Lei finally slowly approached the cave. Banxia stretched out a hand, grabbed Wang Lei's arm, and pulled him into the cave.
Wang Lei sat on the ground, breathing heavily, exhausted. His chest rose and fell violently, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death test.
He raised his head and looked at Banxia, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you Miss Banxia, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Banxia smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wang, you don't have to be polite. We are all in this together, and it is only natural for us to help each other."
After saying that, she walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down to see how Shen Yiran was going to come up.
Shen Yiran saw how Wang Lei was struggling to climb the rock just now, and she felt that she should perform better than Wang Lei. But at this moment, she did not intend to ask Banxia for help, she had other ideas.
She looked up at Banxia and said to her, "Banxia, you and Brother Wang go into the cave first to check if it's suitable for staying overnight. I'll feed the horses and go up later."
Banxia took the order and walked into the cave with Wang Lei.
Shen Yiran walked to the horses, took out horse feed from the bag on their backs, and skillfully added enough feed to all three horses.
She gently stroked the horses' necks, as if communicating with them, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
Seeing the horses eating with gusto, she felt a little relieved. After all, the horses were their important companions in this long journey. Only when they were well fed and watered could they better accompany them on the journey.
After adding the materials, Shen Yiran slowly walked to the bottom of the cliff and found a relatively hidden place.
She gently closed her eyes, her face calm, her mind focused, her lips trembling slightly, and she silently said in her heart: "Hui Hu, Hui Hu, I urgently need your help right now."
Her expression was focused and pious, as if she was communicating with some mysterious power. Everything around her seemed to be quiet at this moment, and only her slight silent voice echoed in the air, with a hint of eagerness and anticipation.
The reason why Shen Yiran chose to summon Huihu at this time was not because he was too lazy to go rock climbing, but because he wanted to confirm whether he could successfully summon Huihu outside of that special space.
After all, this is an extremely important safeguard in case she encounters dangerous situations in the future.
About a minute later, she heard a low and familiar roar, which seemed to carry endless power and warmth.
Shen Yiran opened her eyes quickly, and saw Huihu appearing in front of her majestically like a divine beast descending from the sky.
Its agile figure looks particularly spectacular in the afterglow of the setting sun, and its golden hair fluttering in the wind looks like a burning flame.
A surprised smile instantly broke out on Shen Yiran's face, and excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Huihu, it's great that you're here! Come on, carry me up to the cave." Shen Yiran ordered quickly, with a hint of eagerness and excitement in his voice.
She couldn't let Banxia and Wang Lei see her "cheating". After all, she didn't want to show this special ability in front of them.
Huihu nodded at her, his eyes revealing agility and obedience.
Shen Yiran jumped lightly, like an agile bird, and landed steadily on its broad back.
The tiger let out a low roar, as if responding to Shen Yiran's command. It kicked its strong limbs and rushed towards the cave like a flash of lightning.
Shen Yiran rode steadily on Huihu's back, feeling the wind slicing by her ears like a sharp blade. She held onto Huihu's fur tightly, feeling both excited and nervous.
Along the way, she saw the scenery below quickly becoming smaller, and the mountains in the distance were rolling, presenting a magnificent color under the reflection of the sunset.
The sound of the wind created by the running of the tiger whistled in their ears, as if playing an exciting melody for their progress.
Not long after, Huihu arrived at the entrance of the cave. It slowly stopped and gently put Shen Yiran on the ground.
Shen Yiran jumped off the tiger's back, patted Huihu's head, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Huihu. Go back first, I'll call you if I have anything else."
Huihu rubbed Shen Yiran affectionately, then disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Shen Yiran took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and walked into the cave as if nothing had happened, as if she had also struggled to climb up.
Just at this moment, Banxia and Wang Lei walked out of the cave. When they saw Shen Yiran at the cave entrance, they were all surprised.
"Crown Princess, how did you get up here?" they both asked in unison.
Shen Yiran started her lying mode again, "I just finished feeding the horses, and when I saw you guys hadn't come out yet, I tried to climb up, and I didn't expect that I could actually climb up."
Banxia didn't quite believe what she said. She knew the skills of her prince's wife and it was impossible for her to get up there by her own strength. But since she said so, she didn't ask any more questions.
However, the simple Wang Lei had no doubts. "Princess, you are so amazing. I didn't expect that you and Miss Banxia are so good at martial arts. I was too proud before." Wang Lei scratched his head embarrassedly.
Shen Yiran knew Wang Lei's embarrassment at the moment, she smiled lightly, "Brother Wang, your original intention was to protect us, you are a man. Any girl who marries you in the future will be blessed."
Wang Lei's previous embarrassment disappeared a lot after hearing this, and he said with a red face, "No girl would be interested in a commoner like me."
"When we return to Beijing, you will no longer be a commoner." Shen Yiran said softly, his tone sounding like a promise and also like a comfort.
"Thank you, Princess. I'm sorry for your trouble." Wang Lei nodded slightly, a look of gratitude on his face.
He also wanted to see his biological father as soon as possible. However, as for his mother, he knew that she had passed away long ago. Whenever he thought of this, his heart would suddenly ache, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart.
Banxia was confused as she listened to their conversation. However, her previous experience as a killer had taught her to do more and talk less. She just stood aside quietly without asking any more questions.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something important, her expression became anxious, and she hurriedly said: "Princess, we found something unusual in the cave. I will take you to see it." There was a hint of nervousness and curiosity in her eyes.
