Chapter 754 How to crack it
"Pfft!"
After the snowy owl did the splits and fell to the ground, the mountaineer raised one hand, and then the "ding-dong" sound was heard again.
One rock piton after another was driven into the ground around the snowy owl, and one nylon rope after another bound her limbs, trapping her in place.
"I have to admit you're right. I do lack powerful offensive means, and I only have a few 'consumables' to fall back on... I hate meaningless fights."
The mountaineer paused as he spoke. "However, precisely because I didn't keep many weapons, I've been able to find new uses for these pitons and safety ropes."
"Although most of the time they're just tools I use for climbing, well... since they're tough enough, they can also be used against enemies like this."
The Snow Owl's limbs were tightly bound by safety ropes anchored by rock bolts. Upon hearing the mountaineer's words, she immediately turned the Soul-Wrecking Blade and tried to cut the ropes.
But... these [safety ropes] obviously have no "soul" and are unusually tough and hard.
The mountaineer warned, noticing the Snowy Owl's movements.
"Don't waste your time. These ropes are hard to cut—after all, they are the ropes that hold my life."
The Snowy Owl listened to the advice.
She stood up again - although these ropes were difficult to cut, Snowy Owl discovered that these ropes were [safety ropes] after all.
Although her range of motion was limited, she was still able to drag the safety rope back and forth through the holes in the rock bolts by pulling hard.
in other words……
Although the snowy owl was fixed to the stone brick under her feet at this moment, she could still move freely to a certain extent.
"Huh... Although being entangled in these ropes is indeed a bit uncomfortable, even in this state, if you get close to me, I am still confident that I can hit you."
The Snowy Owl stared at the mountaineer and whispered.
The mountaineer nodded. "I had no doubt about that, so I didn't plan to get close... I didn't even plan to attack you."
"Normally, I would use a 'Forbidden Spell Scroll' or a 'High-Grade Talisman'... However, I'm a very frugal person, so I'll use this place to get rid of you."
As the mountaineer spoke, he picked up the trekking pole and tapped it on the ground, then took out a stopwatch from his pocket and took a look at it.
"It's about time...
As soon as she finished speaking, the stone path beneath her feet began to shake.
It’s not that the mountaineers did anything…
But in this "falling" themed venue, these stone bricks will change.
New bricks rose to form a new narrow passage.
And the old...
Then it sank below with a rumbling sound.
The mountaineer jumped lightly into the air and landed on a newly raised brick.
This is what the mountaineer was waiting for - the reason she hammered the bolts at this moment was not entirely to show her skills to the snowy owl, but more because she had calculated the "time".
As long as the Snowy Owl doesn't admit defeat, she will hammer in the rock bolts and throw out the safety rope at this point in time - a point in time when the opponent will definitely not have time to break free "before the stone path changes."
The snowy owl, which was locked on the stone brick, changed its expression drastically and tried to struggle.
But to no avail.
Soon, the stone bricks under the Snowy Owl's feet slowly sank into the mist.
And at this critical moment...
"Pfft——!"
A faint sound was heard in the fog.
Hearing this sound, the mountaineers who had relaxed suddenly looked down.
Sure enough, the next moment...
The figure of the Snowy Owl rushed out from the ominous smoke below and came to her again.
The mountaineer looked at the girl with a hideous face and blood all over her body, and for the first time he showed an excited smile.
"Interesting—I've known for a while that this was the solution to my move, but you're the first person to actually do it!"
The [Safety Rope] is extremely resilient, the [Rock Spikes] are extremely strong, and these two [Items] also have a certain degree of magic-suppressing effect... Most energy-based spells and techniques in the Ten Realms will be restricted.
Mountaineers have conducted experiments within the "Freedom Alliance". Whether it is Lao Zhou who is good at physical fitness or Li Nian and Qian Huan who are cunning, it is difficult for them to break free from this restraint in a short period of time.
Although it has the disadvantage that "the enemy can still move to a certain extent", once tied up, this skill is the most difficult to "escape" according to the internal evaluation of the "Free Alliance".
Once a mountaineer gets into a serious conflict with someone and starts fighting, the most common method is to use [rock pitons] and [safety ropes] to control the opponent, and then tear through a certain [consumable item] to launch a powerful area attack to kill the opponent.
However, it was during the internal experiments of the "Free Alliance" at that time that the "Mountaineer" discovered a limitation of his method - it was first proposed by the "Fisherman".
"This trick is good, but if the opponent cuts off his hands and feet, it seems that he can escape."
Afterwards, Xiaoyun proposed a more optimized solution.
"There's no need to cut off your hands and feet... Judging by the speed at which the ropes are tightening, if the other party can shave or scrape off their own flesh fast enough, they can escape."
Snowy owls are, of course, known for their speed.
At this moment, standing in front of the mountaineer, her hands and feet were already covered in blood, revealing large pieces of white bones and yellow fascia and fat layers.
Her knife was indeed fast enough, and she was fast enough too—so fast that she stood in front of the mountaineer with a potion in her mouth.
That's what she put in her mouth in the air.
"Pooh!"
After spitting out the outer shell of the potion, the blood from the wounds on the Snowy Owl's hands and feet began to seep more slowly, the flesh began to wriggle, and a thin film covered the surface of the wounds.
Apparently it was some kind of fast-acting recovery potion.
Faced with this situation where flesh and blood have been removed, this conventional recovery [item] is obviously not effective enough and can only be used to deal with it temporarily.
But the snowy owl didn't care.
"It seems your move has a big flaw. Don't save on [consumable items] next time."
The mountaineer looked at the snowy owl and blinked. "I will... but it won't be useful in this competition."
"At this rate of blood loss, it won't be long before you pass out."
"And every time you move, your injuries will worsen. Before that, I don't think you'll be able to break through this defense."
Snowy Owl looked at her and slowly raised the ebony knife.
"No, I think I've figured out why you're not afraid of physical attacks."
"I don't know if it's your [Exclusive Item] or some other extremely special [Item] combined with a special skill, but its effect is probably to make your body extremely flexible and resilient."
"I didn't 'cut' or 'slice' into your body at all - I just 'smashed' you into a state of deformation with the knife!"
"It's like... clay or plasticine."
