That was to tie the rope around himself, then leap from the pillar, and let those people pull the rope slowly to bring him into the balloon basket, where he could be saved.
Li Teng felt that this method was more reliable, much more so than tying the rope to the bed leg.
Of course, there was some risk, he must quickly secure himself to the rope while the wind direction remained unchanged. Otherwise, should the wind shift before he was fully secured, him being only half-tied could very likely result in him being yanked towards the pillar and falling to his death.
But what if it worked?
If it succeeded, he would be completely free from the damned pillar and wouldn't have to participate in a show that turned people into wax figures.
It was worth the gamble!
Just as Li Teng was about to secure the rope around himself, the wind direction by the pillar suddenly changed again, a strange strong gust blew, pushing the hot air balloon towards the direction of the pillar.
