Success or failure depended on this single move, and Ling Zhenfei had no time to think further. He didn't know how long Ru Meng could hold the Python, and if it returned while he was still on the cliff, his chances were slim.
Ling Zhenfei used his top speed towards the cliff. He had already scouted the route when observing earlier and it was clear to him now. There was no Rejuvenation Grass on the lower half of the cliff.
To find the Rejuvenation Grass, he necessarily had to reach the upper half of the cliff. Arriving at the base, Ling Zhenfei leapt energetically and flew up the cliff.
His eyesight was exceptionally good; even in the darkness, there was no impact on his vision. His foot hit the cliff, propelling him several yards upward, and after a few ascents and descents, he reached the top.
From this commanding height, already at the forest's high ground, he could clearly see the dense woods below the cliff, the Eagle flying away, and the distant Giant Python.
