243: Chapter 243 Treasure Land 13
She felt a little embarrassed, couldn't help but sigh at her own intelligence, and prepared to honestly climb back down and find another taller tree to try again.
Luo Yuejian's experience climbing down the tree earlier was very unpleasant, because her hands were rubbed uncomfortably, and her arms were easily chafed too.
If these injuries could actually help Luo Yuejian's grand plan of courting death, that would be fine, but these minor injuries couldn't do anything at all. Luo Yuejian possessed the Pain Suppression Skill, so these injuries didn't even have the effect of making her lose her mind from pain.
But these hand injuries were clearly visible, and seeing them all the time made her feel annoyed. This made Luo Yuejian very reluctant to climb down directly.
She opened her backpack. Previously, while looking for map fragments, Luo Yuejian had noticed a bundle of rope inside. It came in handy right now.
Luo Yuejian prepared to tie the rope to the tree trunk, tie the other end to her waist, and then jump down with the help of the rope.
She had seen this maneuver before: jump a distance and push off the tree. This way, not only could she land quickly, but it also effectively avoided her body parts rubbing directly against the tree.
With Luo Yuejian possessing the Agility Instinct and Climbing Skill, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish.
Of course, Luo Yuejian had a little clever idea here: if she did this, she definitely wouldn't be able to retrieve this rope again.
In other words, she could directly waste an item with this maneuver.
Although this rope wasn't an item provided to her by the Miracle Escape Live Stream Game, such thick hemp rope was still very useful, and there had been times in previous games when it was used.
Luo Yuejian had long wanted to throw this rope away. Now that she had caught an opportunity, Luo Yuejian certainly wouldn't let it go.
She felt a bit proud of this little clever idea, thinking to herself that, if nothing else, when it came to wasting items, she could at least be considered an expert.
Thinking it, she did it. Luo Yuejian didn't hesitate; with agile movements, she tied one end of the rope to her waist and then firmly tied the other end to the tree trunk.
During that previous Miracle Escape Live Stream Game at the Abandoned Unfinished Building, she had once learned knot-tying methods from that Girl in Pink Jeans, so the rope was tied very securely to the tree trunk now.
Testing the tension of the rope, Luo Yuejian felt there were no problems, so she prepared to jump down according to her plan.
At this moment, Luo Yuejian was crouching on the branches at the top of this tree. However, just as she stood up to find an angle to climb back down, an accident suddenly occurred.
The branch Luo Yuejian was stepping on suddenly made a slight "crack" sound, and then, without giving Luo Yuejian any time to react, it snapped without warning!
In an instant, the completely unprepared Luo Yuejian fell backward.
From a height of thirty meters, if she really fell just like that, Luo Yuejian would undoubtedly die.
The moment she felt her footing give way, Luo Yuejian's heart skipped a beat.
However, before she could react, her vision instantly went black, as if something had covered up all the flickering sunlight.
There was only one word in Luo Yuejian's mind right now: Aaaaaahhhhhh—
This time, she had fallen from a great height completely off guard, unlike the previous Doll Hide-and-Seek game. In that game, although she had also fallen from a thirty-meter-plus Clock Tower, she had been mentally prepared before falling, and was even very much looking forward to it.
But this time, Luo Yuejian had fallen completely unaware, only after her footing gave way. The feeling could be described as quite intense.
The time spent falling from a height of thirty meters was very short.
When Luo Yuejian realized she had fallen from mid-air because the branch she was stepping on had broken, she hadn't even had time to be happy about being so lucky to encounter such an accident before the rope tied to her waist reached its limit.
Luo Yuejian was hung in mid-air by her waist, bounced up and down a few times, and then stabilized, dangling in the air.
Luo Yuejian was stunned for a moment, then remembered: damn, she had just tied a rope around her waist!
Haha, she sabotaged herself.
Who could have thought that the branch she was stepping on would suddenly break? If she had known such a good thing would happen, how could she have gone to the trouble of tying a rope around her waist!
Having missed a rare opportunity, Luo Yuejian gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. After all, this was truly an accident; she really hadn't expected such a coincidence.
It was also at this moment that Luo Yuejian suddenly noticed that the position she was currently in seemed a bit off.
Because her field of vision was pitch black, and only in the direction she had fallen from could she see what seemed to be a round hole, with a faint light outside the round hole.
Where had she fallen into?
Luo Yuejian had originally thought she had just fallen from the tree because the branch she was stepping on had broken.
However, the place she was in now clearly wasn't the forest she had climbed up into earlier; it was as if she had suddenly arrived in an alien space.
Luo Yuejian stared at the dark space around her for a while, wanting to see if she could figure out any clues. Then she suddenly realized, wait, didn't she have the matchstick item?
Why was she wasting time here...
Luo Yuejian was speechless for a moment, took out the matchbox from her items, and lit one.
A faint light lit up from the tip of the matchstick, illuminating the surrounding environment. When she saw clearly what was around her, Luo Yuejian immediately understood where she was.
She seemed to have accidentally entered the inside of that big tree!
The diameter of the space inside the tree was about a little over a meter. All around was a thick layer of bark, very similar to the bark on the outside, and it could be seen that it was still growing normally.
Honestly, Luo Yuejian never could have imagined that the tree she had seen was actually hollow inside.
No wonder this tree looked far less tall than the other trees around it, and its leaves were yellow, looking a bit malnourished. It turned out it was because it was hollow inside. Damage to the transport system led to an imbalance in nutrient distribution, energy consumption for defense inhibited growth, and environmental pressure accelerated physiological decline.
This also made it easy to imagine why this tree had a much larger diameter than the other trees.
If the bark had been even a little thinner, it probably wouldn't have been able to grow into the way it looked now.
Luo Yuejian turned her head to see how far she still was from the ground. She hadn't carefully measured the length of the rope earlier, so she wasn't sure now if this rope could support her reaching the ground.
After using the light of the matchstick to see the situation below clearly, Luo Yuejian's pupils instantly constricted in shock.
