Chapter 223: Chapter 223 The Hardest Direction

Chen Yu climbed all the way, keeping an eye out; after all, he was here to find the Snow Gingko, not to join these enthusiasts on a mountain climb.

The environment of this place was incredibly perilous, an ideal zone for the growth of the Snow Gingko.

Moreover, according to its growth habits, it should be around four thousand meters above sea level.

[Snow Gingko discovered]

The system’s prompt suddenly resounded, followed by the approximate geographical location appearing in Chen Yu’s mind.

Chen Yu instantly became excited, but when he looked up toward that location, he found that there were no supports nearby at all.

If an ordinary person were to climb over there, they would likely fall to their death.

“Climb up seventy meters, then install a rock climbing nail there, and throw a rope, wait for me!”

Wayne looked up and noticed that seventy meters away from here there was a relatively flat section of cliff face, indeed suitable for fixing nails.

Additionally, after last night’s avalanche, there was less snow in that area, and there was even a platform revealed, perfect for a temporary rest.

Just as he was excitedly preparing, he suddenly realized that Chen Yu had already moved towards a very treacherous area next to him.

“Brother Chen Yu, why did you go there?”

Chen Yu didn’t turn back, “Do as I say, go there and install the nail!”

Wayne dared not say anything more and quickly climbed over to that place.

Chen Yu’s physical fitness after all had reached the limits of humanity, so he appeared extremely agile and simple on the cliff, jumping twice, and directly arriving at the location where the Snow Gingko grew.

However, when he got there, he realized that the surrounding area, apart from a few extremely daunting, climbable rocks, was all flat cliff faces.

And atop these cliff faces were thick layers of ice.

Years of accumulation had made these ice layers extremely hard; if he were to forcefully climb, it was likely he would slip down.

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly and then took out two ice-climbing hammers from his body.

He swung the hammers with all his strength, embedding them into the cliff face with a metallic ring.

With each swing, the hammer would penetrate deep into the cliff face, enough to support his body.

If it were anyone else, this would simply not be possible.

At this moment, Wayne had reached the spot Chen Yu mentioned earlier, had set the rock climbing nails, and thrown down two ropes.

When he finished and saw Chen Yu, he was frozen in place, his eyes filled with fear.

He had never thought someone would choose such an extreme condition for climbing.

What shocked him even more was that Chen Yu’s speed was incredibly fast, even faster than those top extreme sport enthusiasts.

And now, Chen Yu was completely dangling in mid-air; if his ice-climbing hammers did not secure properly, he would fall.

Wayne subconsciously clenched his fists with sweat and didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, just silently watched.

Chen Yu climbed between the cliffs for a while, then arrived at an extremely narrow ledge.

There grew a very delicate little tree, which on its branches bore three gingko nuts, each only the size of a thumb.

Chen Yu steadied his breathing again; such a medicinal herb was rarely seen once in a thousand years, just taking a small piece would suffice to cure those old masters in the Imperial City!

The rest, if properly collected and combined with other medicines, could also treat some major and complicated diseases.

After stowing the three silver gingko leaves, Chen Yu brandished his climbing hammer and slowly moved to the side.

“Wayne, throw me that rope!”
