Jiang City.

The reason for such a name is simple.

The Yangtze River and the Qianjiang River cross here, rolling eastward, and submerging into the East China Sea.

At the confluence of two great rivers, there is a big mountain, which looks majestic and steep.

The scientific name of this mountain is Dajiangshan, but the locals prefer to call it Tongtian Mountain.

The reason is simple.

Mount Tongtian is so tall that it continues to grow upwards every year, as if it never stops.

At 6,359 meters, it is not as high as the world's highest peak, but there is no doubt that it is a difficult mountain to climb.

The most interesting thing is that the part of the upper part of the mountainside of Tongtian Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist almost all the year round, and it looks like a magical ghost, like a fairyland.

Even when the clouds and fog disperse once in a while, the top of Mt. Tongtian is completely white, completely covered in ice and snow.

But the strange thing is that Tongtian Mountain is high and densely forested, and it is a place wrapped by a big river, the mountains are good, the water is good, the scenery is good, but very few people climb this mountain.

There is a theory that this mountain is inhabited by tall and large savages.

There is also a theory that there is a monster called Chobo Kabra in the dense forests of the mountains, which specializes in sucking the blood of various creatures, especially human blood.

Another theory is that Tongtian Mountain covers a very large area, and it is directly connected to the sky, not to think that it is a ladder connecting heaven and earth, and there are often immortals shuttling back and forth.

Whichever statement is accurate, it doesn't really matter anymore.

Importantly, almost no one, whether locals or outsiders, dared to climb the Mt. Tongtian.

Especially after the disappearance of an international mountaineering team of 37 people more than ten years ago, no one dared to approach this mountain without permission.

More than two hours after Huang Tian left the Huangshijia community, he appeared at the foot of Tongtian Mountain.

At this moment, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the sky and the earth were gray.

Except for the lights of the city in the distance and the fishing lanterns by the river, there is hardly anything to be seen.

Especially the Mount Tongtian in front of me, I don't know why, exudes an indescribable gloom and horror.

It was as if a huge mouth was opening, anxiously waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net.

Huang Tian did not choose to go up the mountain from the only path, but went around to the steep side of the rock.

Well?

Huang Tian suddenly frowned and looked up.

I saw that halfway up the mountainside covered by clouds and mist, a bright light suddenly lit up.

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

It flashed three times in a row.

Now Huang Tian is a little blind.

Where there is light, there should be people.

When you emit three lights, it is obviously a signal.

So, here's the problem.

Who is this signaling to?

The black light is blind, I'm afraid anyone with a heart can see it, right?

Also, what is the purpose of this signal?

There is no doubt that it is showing the way, it is telling the location.

"Hehe, the people of the Ailan Mountains are really polite enough, is this because they are afraid that I will get lost, so they use the lights to guide me?"

"Have they seen me at the foot of the mountain?"

"I'm not sure, now the night vision equipment is very far away, maybe they have already discovered me before I came to the foot of Tongtian Mountain, right?"

Huang Tian couldn't help frowning, the enemy was obviously not the result he wanted.

But......

No way.

There is no other option now.

However, the strange thing was that although Huang Tian's face was a little annoyed, there was a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Soon.

Huang Tian shrugged his shoulders, returned to the hiking path, and began to move upward.

Along this trail uphill, coiled, not steep, except for the road is a little slippery, it is easy to walk.

It's just that Huang Tian didn't walk fast, several times, and even slid down a short distance.

After tossing and turning all the way, after going up for five or six hundred meters, Huang Tian sat on the stone on the side of the road and gasped for breath.

Syllable!

He lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and bent over with a violent cough.

The lights halfway up the mountain did not appear again.

Except for the sound of the wind and the cry of some unknown creature, there was little to hear.

Soon.

Huang Tian stood up and continued to climb while smoking a cigarette.

It's just that he can see that his body is shaking slightly, and the sound of heavy wheezing is spreading far in the darkness, and it sounds like he can't breathe.

More than two hours later.

Huang Tian reached the place where the lights flickered halfway up the mountain.

There is a natural platform here, which is about a few hundred square meters in size.

You can continue to climb the mountain, but the wind is gusting on the road ahead, and you can already see the shadow of snowflakes.

On the left and right sides of the platform, there are dense mountains and ravines, all of which look black and shady, making people a little panicked when they look at them.

Huang Tian finally climbed onto the rooftop, looking tired and half-dead, he quickly walked towards the middle of the rooftop, then sat down on a raised stone, and then began to gasp for breath.

At this moment, his face was sweating, his cheeks were red, his lips were chapped, and his body was even more shaky, obviously looking like he couldn't support it.

And no wonder.

I don't know if I don't go up the mountain

Only those who go up the mountain will find that one of the most important reasons why there are no tourists in Tongtian Mountain should not be any wild people, nor Zhuo Bo Kabra, nor is it that mortals are forbidden to travel on the fairy road, but that this mountain has a strangeness.

Gravity anomalies.

At the foot of the mountain, gravity is not abnormal, just like in flat ground.

But the further you go, the greater the gravity becomes, and almost every 100 meters you walk will increase your gravity by a tenth of what you would do on flat ground.

A thousand meters is 100 percent.

Two kilometers is three times the flat land.

Three kilometers is four times as much.

Therefore, for normal people, if they want to climb the Tongtian Mountain, it is really difficult, and every step they take is much more difficult than the previous one.

Like Huang Tian, he was able to climb the three-thousand-meter-high rooftop in just a few hours, and his steps were like slow motion, which was nothing, and his heart did not explode, which was considered a great luck.

Syllable!

Huang Tian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then leaned back slightly, slowly closing his eyes.

Tired!

The eyelids are heavy.

Knock knock!

There was a sound of heavy footsteps.

Huang Tian was startled and looked over.

I saw a group of people walking out of the dense forest on the left, about twelve or three, and under the faint light of snow above the Tongtian Mountain, they walked over extremely quickly.

Well?

Huang Tian's face was really a little unsightly.

What does that mean?

Why are these people walking so easily?

It's a lot faster than walking on flat ground.

Could it be that he met someone from the Martial Arts Sect?
