Chapter 47: No One Can Steal It!
Translator: 549690339 |
The thick snowpack suddenly collapsed.
In the direct sunlight, the deep Glacier Valley reflected a flickering blue light at its edges.
White cracks spread like lightning, as if a massive spiderweb was enveloping Bi Fang, his pupils slightly trembling, filled with the crisp sound of the ice layer breaking.
Bi Fang slowly lowered his head, the ice beneath his feet clear and transparent. His vision was excellent, yet he couldn’t penetrate the deadly darkness.
He had the illusion of standing in the empty expanse of the sky, with nothing in the world left but him and the abyss locked in a gaze.
Nowhere to run…
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and the previously continuous barrage of comments came to an abrupt halt.
Bi Fang didn’t dare to make any rash movements; instead, he silently drew the Small Hunting Knife strapped to his thigh.
“At a time like this, everyone mustn’t make any rash movements, and definitely not run; the ice here is already extremely fragile, and running will only speed up the expansion of the ice cracks, so the more you run, the quicker you die!”
“We must lie down to reduce the pressure on the ice surface and increase the area of force. However, this is not a lake but Glacier Valley. If there’s nothing else to do, you could also stick something like an Ice Axe into the ground to catch yourself. But I don’t have one, so I’ll use a knife instead!”
Bi Fang’s voice was very soft, as if speaking any louder would cause some kind of change, which made the viewers in the livestream even more tense, not even daring to breathe heavily.
At the same time, quite a few people noticed the Small Hunter Combat Knife in his hand.
[Master Fang brought a knife this time?]
[Feels like he came well-prepared.]
[Damn, that’s a cool knife!]
[I want one too, what to do? Looking for the same model on TB!]
After drawing the knife, Bi Fang took several deep breaths and was just about to kneel and lie down when he suddenly felt his weight lighten!
The ice beneath his feet was even more fragile than he had estimated, the already fine cracks spreading like lightning, and the icy walls at the edges breaking apart directly!
In the drone’s camera view, the huge block of ice beneath Bi Fang shattered into pieces, his body rapidly sinking, as if he was about to plunge into an endless abyss the next instant.
But at that moment, Bi Fang, hanging momentarily in the air, used all his strength to flip backwards; his upper body smashed directly onto the ice surface, then he thrust the Hunting Knife fiercely into the ice!
Crack!
The sharp tip of the Hunting Knife plunged straight into the thick ice layer, the blade edge squeezing into the ice and cutting a long, narrow scratch on the surface.
The shards flying off the ice pelted Bi Fang’s face like bullets, painfully stinging him, but Bi Fang firmly gripped the handle of the knife-it was a life-or-death struggle!
As the shattered ice flew, fortunately, the Hunting Knife was sharp enough. It cut deeper into the ice as it sliced through the surface, significantly slowing Bi Fang’s descent.
The drone slid swiftly, moving to Bi Fang’s side, capturing a clear shot of him clutching the handle, his upper body lying on the ice surface and his lower body hanging in mid-air.
All the viewers’ eyes widened, their palms sweaty with cold, their minds filled with a single sensation.
Incredibly perilous!
Thankfully, it stopped.
The long, narrow scratch extended over half a meter, but it was within this distance that the Hunting Knife caught and stopped sliding.
An unknown number of viewers found themselves dry-mouthed, stealthily swallowing saliva, subconsciously seeking a cup of water to drink.
This was just too thrilling, the heart couldn’t take it!
WangXiaocong opened his mouth wide, his fruit dropping unknowingly from his hand as he watched Bi Fang hanging off the cliff edge; even when friends called his name, he didn’t hear, not until someone patted his shoulder did he come back to his senses.
“What are you looking at that’s got you so engrossed?”
Kong Chao opened a bottle of soda, sat down beside Wang Xiaocong with a plop, glanced at the phone in his hand, and just happened to see Bi Fang struggling while clinging to the knife handle on the edge of Glacier Valley.
“What movie is this? Made in China? The special effects are pretty good. I’m free anyway, why don’t you connect it to the TV so we can watch together?” Wang Xiaocong, who was standing by, heard this and glanced at Kong Chao with a complex and excited tone, “It’s not a movie, it’s a live stream, a freakin’ awesome live stream!”
“Pfft! Cough, cough!”
Soda squirted out of Kong Chao’s nostrils, and he quickly grabbed a few tissues to wipe his face before snatching Wang Xiaocong’s phone, his eyes instantly falling on the Wolf Fang TV logo.
“Damn! Is this really a live stream?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Wang Xiaocong, clearly annoyed at having his phone suddenly snatched away, took it back, “Can’t you just download the app yourself?”
Just as he was getting engrossed, Kong Chao’s phone was taken from his grasp. He smacked his lips in frustration and immediately took out his phone, downloaded the Wolf Fang TV app, and found Master Fang’s live stream.
Watching Bi Fang hanging on the edge of a cliff, their expressions gradually turned to shock.
[Master Fang’s reaction is epic!]
[Take my bow!]
[American blockbusters bow down, when it comes to stunts, Master Fang is the one!]
[Pierce has sent the Spaceship*! to the host-Go for it, Master Fang!]
[Green Onion has sent Wolf Fang*666 to the host—Take care, bro!]
Bi Fang lay on the ice, swallowed his saliva, the direct fall onto the ice having stunned his chest, almost leaving him breathless.
His right arm was sore and painful now, as his hand grasping the knife handle suddenly had to support his entire body weight, bringing a significant burden to his not overly muscular muscles.
He tried to lift his left arm and support himself on the ice to climb up, but the ice was too slippery, providing no traction at all.
Bi Fang had to stop trying, caught his breath, and attempted a few more times but still failed.
Helplessly, he gripped the Hunting Knife with both hands, preparing to use this point of leverage to pull himself up.
Bi Fang held the knife handle firmly with both hands, his arm muscles taut, his legs sliding on the slippery ice wall, unable to help. He could only rely on the strength of his upper body. Thankfully, his past Calisthenics training had paid off, pulling himself up wasn’t too difficult.
The only concern was whether, during this process, the Hunting Knife could stay securely embedded in the ice without loosening again.
Slowly, Bi Fang pulled himself up bit by bit out of the crevice, but just as he was about to get halfway up, the Hunting Knife began to slide again!
This sudden mishap nearly caused Bi Fang to let go!
Fortunately, this time the Hunting Knife only slid about ten centimeters before it got stuck again, but even so, the viewers felt a surge of urine rushing to their bladder.
[I can’t take it, I need to use the restroom…]
[Together? Help me out?]
[ Look at you guys, all scared, is it really necessary?]
[Put on a diaper, then talk tough!]
Seeing Bi Fang seemingly trapped in a desperate situation, some viewers spontaneously sent danmakus and gifted items to cheer him on.
Bi Fang looked down at the bottomless Glacier Valley, took a deep breath to calm his rapidly beating heart, and once again exerted strength in his arms. This time, he moved more slowly and began to twist his body, utilizing the insignificant friction between himself and the entire ice wall.
Crack.
Several pieces of ice broke off due to the friction and fell into Glacier Valley, not to be heard from again for quite some time.
After several tries and repeated occurrences like this, fortunately, the Hunting Knife didn’t slide any further, and Bi Fang finally got more than half of his body onto the ice. With one last heave, he rolled completely onto the ice.
Not daring to linger, Bi Fang moved further out until he was well away from Glacier Valley, then finally relaxed completely. He lay on his back, gasping for air, white breaths spewing out like columns.
In the live stream room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Xiaocong and Kong Chao’s mouths hung open wide enough to fit a duck egg. They looked at each other and, without agreement, both opened the recharge interface of Wolf Fang.
The top spot, it was decided—He’d claim it!
