After climbing for most of the night, the exhausted Niu Feng had reached the fourth floor. Looking up at the fifth floor within easy reach, he gritted his teeth and lifted his sore, powerless arms to grab the rope.
"Damn!"
A sharp pain shot through Niu Feng's palm as he held the rope, and he instinctively let go. His body plummeted down suddenly, and one of the safety locks snapped off instantly. Fortunately, another safety lock remained, swinging his heavy body to the side.
Frightened, Niu Feng tightly closed his eyes, his pale face tightly clutching the rope in his arms as his hefty body swung back and forth in midair, occasionally slamming into the wall.
Niu Feng opened one eye, looking at the failed safety lock, his legs turned weak. Luckily, he had prepared two ropes today; otherwise, it would have been the end for sure.
Rip.
The sound of tearing fabric made Niu Feng's heart, which had just settled, rise again.
