Interest in Strange bamboo

On the cliff, Liu Musk could feel some difficulty in getting to the bamboo in the first place. Looking at the steep cliff with lush bamboo growing on it, it seemed like a stressful task. Since he wanted it badly for a weapon and in this place the bamboo was the best option, he was willing to take some risks, as long as they did not go too far.

Since he already had the idea that the process might not be easy, he thus looked around and this allowed him to formulate some plan in his head. After observing the resources he could leverage to climb the slippery cliff, he got busy.

Walking around, he could only collect some vegetation with characteristics of ropes and the requirements for his search were obviously something thin and tough. He walked around and in less than an hour he had accomplished this task.

He could occasionally appear dragging the plants on an open field, but some yellow grass was present almost reaching his knees. It was however not normal considering this place has been abandoned for a millennium if not more. He was not sure of that, and the moment he collected the materials he needed he went ahead to try creating ropes. His aim was not to perfect it at all, but rather create a prototype of it.

In this situation, a rope was something temporary he wanted to just used it for the convenience of descending. He then clings to the wall to climb.

Halfway, he tied it to some protruding roots and then continued to climb, and due to his martial arts has reached the third level, it was slightly easier. The situation did not go as he had thought it would and he tripped when trying to climb with his leg stepping in some rock protrusion. The moment his leg stepped on it, he had a sound that instantly made his heart shiver slightly.

Click!

The moment it collapsed his hand that was about to hold onto the uneven part of the rock, his leg's situation resulted in him slipping downwards across the rock and by the time he reacted he had moved close to two meters down. He used his strong physical strength to forcefully pinch his finger into the cliff.

But it only managed to reduce the speed of descent, and eventually, when it stopped, his face looked rather ugly since he had not thought this would happen. "Should I just leave it alone and try later?" this was indeed the voice that was ringing in his head.

He was instantly awakened from having such thoughts, he has managed to survive for such a long time when did he ever give up due to some small setback? He was still looking at the bamboo in the distance and the fiery look in his eyes did not fade at all.

He pushed his hand forward again and at the same time started to climb the slippery slope again and with the experience, he used more power to test the rock protrusions before using them to support his legs. When he reached the peak of the cliff, he dragged himself to the top and at this stage, he could see the bamboo standing at only a slight distance from him.

Before approaching it, he already could feel that something was wrong. the thinnest bamboo was almost twice the size of his body. At the same time, he could not help but grasp as he saw some green coiling on the bamboo the thing reminded him of snakes he had seen in the past, but the size was overrated. The bamboo was at the further edge but this discouraged him from approaching, and he could see that the bamboos were so tall that they approached the fog in the sky.

"What the hell! What world is this?" In the beginning, Musk did not seem to care much about many things and his mentality seemed to just accept his situation like that. But the moment he set his eyes on the size of the bamboo he become scared, not only that rather the fact that the creature on the bamboo cooling around might not even be a snake as its length was exaggerated.

At the same time, he did not even have the courage to approach and take the bamboo considering he might turn himself into food.

In this way, he quickly recovered, in fact, his will was barely okay as it allowed him to quickly regain his senses and retreat without even thinking twice. What a joke! He could already tell that the reason he managed to climb all the way without the creature attacking him was due to the fact it probably did not put him in its eyes.

This was already a good enough deal, but trying to provoke it by going near its place is the epitome of disrespect and the creature perhaps might not even care about his ant-like status. When a mosquito kept buzzing near anyone they would get annoyed and slap it to death.

In this way, his return journey was very rushed as he took advantage of the rope to descend even faster. He did not want to judge how long the creature would take before it set its eyes on him. The other reason was the fact that he had failed to see other animals in the vicinity from the moment he came into this place. Perhaps the creature was sleeping due to hibernation and his presence ends up contributing as a delicacy.

Being someone that has chosen to study martial arts, Musk had already made up his mind that things might happen but it would be foolish to go out in some shameful manners such as walking into the mouth of a beast. At the moment he reached the ground, he did abandon the thought of touching the running as further as possible. It was only after reaching a certain distance did he understand that he was too worried.

"What exactly would that monster bother waking up due to my presence?" But he decided to not go in that direction he saw the huge snake's body. He could only look around on the opposite side, after all, he only needed to gain something that he can use to practice the Nivarna technique.

In this case, his enthusiasm did not last long, since the existence of the creature indicated that perhaps others more powerful were also available in the vicinity of the island.

This time he was more careful and every time a warning sign sounded he would not approach the site until he reached the place with just some young bamboo that seemed weaker compared to the others.
