A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 176 Cloud Silk Climbing Rope

When he tried to struggle again, Zhou Hanzhang didn't give him the chance, holding the rope tightly in his hand.

"That's settled then. Senior brother, would you please follow behind from now on?"

"I?"

Shen Moli had been staring at the bottom of the cliff, seemingly looking at nothing. Only when Zhou Hanzhang called him did he turn his head. "No need. I don't need a rope. I often walk around in the mountains. This kind of cliff is nothing to me."

Just as Zhou Hanzhang was about to ask him what he meant, he saw him take out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and then go down the cliff edge.

!!!

That's intense?

While Zhou Hanzhang was still in a daze, Shen Moli looked up at her, who was not moving, and asked, "Aren't you going to get off?"

"Oh, here it comes."

She tugged at the rope, grabbed it with both hands, and then jumped down.

Shen Moli watched as Zhou Hanzhang jumped to his side and landed steadily on the stone wall, even more steadily than he, who often walked on the mountain, and couldn't help but show his admiration.

"Not bad, junior brother."

"Not as good as my senior brother." Your skills are beyond what a normal person could do.

Because he needed to leave room for when to come down, Zhou Hanzhang quickly moved downwards.

Shen Moli watched Zhou Hanzhang descend the mountain quickly, and his admiration for him grew even stronger, prompting him to quicken his pace as well.

When Zhou Hanzhang was almost done, he jumped down as well.

They descended through the clouds, only to be instantly surrounded by thick fog.

Even under these circumstances, Shen Moli could still spot any medicinal herbs around him and casually pick them, throwing them into the basket behind him.

No wonder Zhou Hanzhang saw him carrying a basket earlier; so that's what he was planning.

Shen Moli climbed alongside Zhou Hanzhang not far away. Zhou Hanzhang noticed that he was more agile than she, who had many years of rock climbing experience.

Even though there seemed to be nowhere to step, he managed to climb down smoothly using only his hands.

Zhou Hanzhang was filled with admiration upon seeing this.

They went down a little further, and Shen Moli, having seen something, made a gesture to Zhou Hanzhang and then walked to the side.

When Shi saw that they hadn't continued, he asked, "Young master, has something happened?"

"It's alright. My senior brother probably found some medicinal herbs. Let's wait here for him to return before continuing."

"Awoo."

I'd like to go and take a look too.

Zhou Hanzhang felt Xiao Cuiyan tugging at him from behind and was startled. "No way! You better stay in your bundle properly, or I won't talk to you anymore."

"Awoo."

It's okay, I'll just go take a look.

"no!"

Zhou Hanzhang sensed that Little Cuiyan had already climbed out of the bundle, and its voice was trembling. If it fell, it would be no joke.

"You'd better go back and stay there right now."

"Ow~"

Okay, okay, why are you being so fierce?

I just smelled something nice over there and wanted to go check it out.

"No matter how fragrant it is, you can't go. What if you accidentally fall? How am I supposed to explain it to your parents?"

"Awoo."

That way, I won't fall.

"You still dare to talk?!"

Little Cuiyan, having climbed back into her bundle, saw that Zhou Hanzhang was truly angry and quickly covered her mouth with one of her little paws.

I can't say any more; she seems genuinely angry.

However, it didn't stay in this state for long before Shen Moli returned.

His basket exuded a powerful fragrance.

Little Emerald Flame got excited again, "Awoo awoo!"

It smells so good!

Zhou Hanzhang also felt the fragrance enter his nostrils with a gust of wind.

Not to mention Zhou Hanzhang, even He Shi could smell that fragrance.

"Senior brother, what did you pick? It smells so good!"

Shen Moli was also very happy. "Right? It smells good, doesn't it? This is a snow lotus unique to the Stone Mountain, called Stone Mountain Snow Lotus. Its medicinal effect is several times that of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. It's a rare and precious thing. I'll make some pills for you to use first. It will definitely help you recover from your blood deficiency."

Zhou Hanzhang was somewhat incredulous, "Senior brother, are you willing to do this?"

"Hey, what's there to be reluctant about? We're all family now, there's no such thing as 'yours' or 'mine,' what's mine is yours."

To be honest, Zhou Hanzhang was truly flattered, but she naturally wouldn't refuse such good things. "Then thank you, Senior Brother."

"Don't be shy, keep going. The fog is getting thicker down below, watch your step."

Shen Moli gave a reminder.

"Senior brother, you should be even more careful since you don't have any ropes on you."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. I've walked hundreds, if not thousands, of mountains like this."

Since he had said so, Zhou Hanzhang focused his attention on his feet and cautiously moved downwards.

Now the fog is thick, and even the rocks underfoot have become slippery.

After climbing for another half an hour, Zhou Hanzhang felt that he was starting to feel exhausted.

She saw a protruding rock not far away, which seemed large enough to accommodate the three of them.

He then said to Shen Moli, "Senior brother, the fog is too thick now, and it's getting darker and darker. Why don't we go to that platform to rest for a while and continue down tomorrow?"

Shen Moli also felt a little tired. "That's fine."

The rock was over there, and he walked straight towards it. After the person landed on the platform, he called out, "Junior brother, when will you come? Come quickly, there's a small cave inside, we can rest here for the night."

Zhou Hanzhang also quickened her pace and climbed over. After she landed, she found that this place was actually sheltered from the wind. The wind that had been howling past her earlier could not reach this place.

When they came down, they were quite happy. "I never thought there was such a place, with a cave. It's wonderful."

He pulled the rope over and carefully tied it to a rock. "I didn't expect that the rope Xiangxiang brought over, which looked thin and soft, would be so strong, and that such a small bundle would be so long."

"Yes, when Xiangxiang gave it to me, I was thinking that I might not be able to use it, but I didn't expect to use it now."

Zhou Hanzhang also sighed.

Seeing that they were discussing, Shen Moli also came over to look at the rope, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. "I didn't expect Xiangxiang to give you this rope."

What's the explanation for this?

"Xiangxiang treasures this rope very much. It's a cloud-silk climbing rope, made from a rare fiber called 'Tiansi'. She made it from mysterious silkworm silk and a unique spider silk that she found in the ancient forest."

This "Tencel" not only has a cloud-like lightness, but also has amazing strength and toughness, making it a rare and precious lightweight high-strength material.

I asked her several times, but she wouldn't lend it to me. I never expected her to give it to you when you came to Shishan. Is it because you're good-looking?

"...Is it possible that because the rocky mountain was too dangerous, and I came up here to find my master, Xiangxiang prepared the best equipment for me?"
