The rock wall above was a smooth sheet, with no footholds at all!
The distance was nearly six meters long!
This distance, on flat ground, would be just a matter of two steps, but before Blade Wind now, it was a chasm of despair, impossible to cross!
Blade Wind's heart sank.
He began to examine the surrounding rock wall, attempting to find a place to detour.
He even risked himself, using his limited strength to make a full circle around, but he found no hope of a climbing path.
It seemed, there was truly no way...
"No..."
Blade Wind bit his teeth.
He had never felt so desperate before.
The faint breathing of his younger brother behind him seemed like a sharp knife repeatedly slicing his heart.
But, something unexpected occurred.
After taking a couple of deep breaths, Blade Wind glanced back at Blade Fire, and actually managed a smile.
However, there was a touch of helplessness in that smile.
"I'm sorry, Blade Fire. It's your useless big brother who can't save you..."
