As he grasped the rope to climb upwards, Wang Chen was filled with excitement.
After all, his recent actions could be considered a struggle to carve a path to survival from an utterly hopeless situation.
How could this feeling of escape from certain doom not be thrilling?
Yet suddenly, the scattered rope shattered the smile on Wang Chen's face that had not yet fully formed.
He had thought that with less than two or three meters from the cliff top, he would not encounter any more problems.
But he did not expect that, in this final critical moment, not only did a problem arise, but it was also a life-threatening big trouble!
When he had climbed up earlier, he had made use of the protruding stones on the side and then leapt to grab the rope.
But now, with no foothold beneath him, he could not stand on the protruding stones he had used before.
If he were to follow the scattered rope downwards, he would almost certainly fall straight to the bottom of the cliff.
