Although now the Swallow Cave is filled with waterfalls, much like the Water Curtain Cave, one can still see many bats and bird nests hanging on the rock walls, as well as so crawling creatures lurking in the corners.
Wang Ye picked up a stone and threw it toward the rock wall.
Thud!!!
Imdiately, the stone startled countless bats and swallows, causing them to fly up.
These bats circled around him a few tis and then all disappeared into the dark holes.
"Seems like there's no threat."
After confirming that these bats wouldn't attack him, Wang Ye began climbing the rocks with ease.
Most small wild animals like these don't actually attack humans.
Because they can discern that humans are larger in size, regarded as formidable large animals that are not easy to provoke.
Unless attacked first, they generally won't approach humans.
Moreover, since Wang Ye's Innate Skill has reached Great Success, his body inadvertently emits a powerful intimidation field at all tis, which can forcefully repel so small creatures with keen senses, like insects, venomous snakes, bats, and so on.
If he fully unleashes this intimidation power, he could even repel so large creatures. Though he hasn't tested it on real tigers or brown bears, Wang Ye could roughly guess the effect.
Collecting his thoughts, Wang Ye grasped the climbing points and began to climb swiftly.
Having climbed once before, he already morized the details of this route entirely.
Hence, his speed this ti was faster than when he descended.
The interval of each step was rely about 0.1 seconds.
It barely took about five minutes for him to swiftly climb up to the surface.
"As expected of Brother Wang!"
"Climbed up so quickly, are you part gecko?"
"I initially thought such a slippery rock wall would take at least two days, but it was completed in an hour, Brother Wang truly acts with lightning speed," Ah Gui exclaid in amazent. Although he knew how incredibly Wang Ye perford on Mount Everest recently, every ti he saw Wang Ye at full play, he couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying extent of his physique.
Seeing Wang Ye, who completed successfully, Ah Gui and the others marveled for a while, then began deftly gathering the ropes, folding them into their bags, preparing to pack up and return to town.
As ti passed, the rain also intensified, evolving from a drizzle to moderate rain. If they didn't return soon, the jungle paths would beco even muddier and difficult to traverse.
anwhile, Wang Ye, taking advantage of their ti organizing the ropes, took off his waterproof jumpsuit, shook off the water droplets, folded it, and tucked it into his backpack.
According to the original plan laid out by the cave exploration expert, the most troubleso part of this whole challenge had just been completed by Wang Ye, which was the "preparation work" phase. Most people would take at least a day or more on this phase, and even longer during the rainy season.
With the preparation work done, the following plans beca simpler. They just needed to rent a local fixed-wing aircraft, choose a day with good weather, and challenge the Awakening Earth.
But to minimize risk, they needed to wait for the right timing while staying here.
Waiting for the rain to stop and the skies to clear before taking the plane to challenge.
Due to the unpredictable weather during the rainy season in xico, this timing wasn't easy to catch.
If luck was on their side, one or two days would suffice.
But if luck wasn't favorable, continuous rain could last for a month until the rainy season was over in October to begin the challenge.
"Judging by the weather today, I estimate it will take at least over a week," Wang Ye raised his head, looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, and shook his head.
"Not necessarily. I saw on the weather forecast that there might be a period of clear weather the day after tomorrow," Ah Gui comforted.
"Hopefully so."
Just as Wang Ye finished organizing his waterproof suit and planned to leave with his backpack,
his pupils suddenly contracted as he sensed an exceedingly cold Qi gradually locking onto him.
It seed to be so kind of weapon capable of posing a threat to him, and not just one.
"Is it... a gun?" With a buzz, Wang Ye's mind raced, and his breathing beca imdiately rapid.
Nowadays, what else could pose a threat to him except for a gun? And such a level of threat must be from at least a rifle with over a thousand joules of energy.
Wang Ye closed his eyes, able to feel the gun muzzle tightly aiming at his back,
suggesting that the one coming was very likely an assassin targeting him.
Although he had anticipated that he would be watched by terrorists after going abroad,
facing it in reality still evoked inevitable fear.
Historically, there have been cases where national athletes were assassinated by terrorists during competitions. These terrorists often comprised extrely skilled and ideologically extre veterans, hired by people with intentions to assassinate figures impacting their interests.
Such assassinations are hard to predict, mostly opportunistic attacks by terrorists,
where the assassinated individuals often didn't even have ti to react before being riddled with bullets.
Only a few, with bodyguards or in bulletproof vehicles, had a slim chance of surviving.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye looked at Ah Gui and the others beside him.
After a mont of contemplation, he said,
"Ah Gui, you all take the stuff back first, I intend to train here for a bit."
Saying so, Wang Ye handed his backpack to Ah Gui.
Even though Ah Gui and the others acted sowhat as bodyguards during this challenge trip,
for Wang Ye, in the actual face of assassination, these people would only get in the way.
Because not only he needed to protect himself, but he also had to divert his attention to protect others.
