The buffering of this vine significantly slowed Yan Fei's fall, providing him with a greater opportunity to maneuver. He aimed for another vine in the distance, tumbled toward it, and finally grabbed it with one hand. Swinging from that vine, he greatly reduced the massive force of his descent. The vine likewise snapped, but Yan Fei was now in a densely packed area of vines, no longer worried about finding a point of support.
Yan Fei discarded the broken vine in his hand, set his sights on another ahead, reached out, and grasped it, swinging away again. This time the vine perfectly withstood the tremendous force of their descent and did not break. Switching hands, Yan Fei grabbed another vine below and swung again. In this way, switching hands and swinging several times, he safely reached the valley floor beneath the cliff by relying on the vines.
