345, The Battle of the Peak [2]
Wusheng Mountain is located in the imperial capital of St. Petersburg, looking like a blooming lotus flower from a distance, composed of a full eleven peaks, ten slightly low solitary peaks are located around, around a towering sword peak, covering an area of not large, only a radius of less than ten miles.
These eleven peaks seem to grow out of the ground, located in the imperial capital is extremely abrupt, there are no mountains around it, even the surrounding nine petal peaks are extremely steep, the whole body is white rock, and even slightly inclined to the outside, the stars and the moon generally surround the middle of the sword peak in the middle.
A famous bard once made a metaphor that the Martial Sacred Mountain of the Zenit Empire was like a pair of giant gods holding a sharp sword from deep underground.
This metaphor aptly expresses the intuitive impression of the people of the imperial capital on Wusheng Mountain.
Sun Fei and the others, under the leadership of the Royal Praetorian Guard, were sent to the South Three Peaks in the outer petal peaks of Wusheng Mountain. The three peaks in the south are about five or six hundred meters high, the mountain is still slightly inclined outward, standing under the peaks, there is a terrifying feeling that the mountain is collapsing and overthrowing, but compared to the other nine petal peaks, it is the most soothing one.
Because the bottom of the South Three Peaks Mountain is covered by the mountain, there is no direct sunlight all year round, it looks dark and damp, and there are a large number of bryophytes growing in large numbers, and there are also some dark gray vines and plants, many poisonous snakes and insects and other fierce things, usually this place is surrounded by the imperial family and no one is allowed to approach, so it is even more quiet and lonely.
However, at the bottom of the South Three Peaks, there is a dark and deep Yongdao, which is said to be naturally formed, and after the later artificial carving and opening, it can lead all the way to the peak of the South Three Peaks.
When Sun Fei and the others arrived, there were already seven waves of people in front of them who had entered the Yongdao.
The order of this ranking reflects the difference, after all, Sun Fei and the others are only some masters of the subject countries, and when it comes to real identity and status, they are still a lot worse than the other imperial missions, the Holy See and the great nobles of the imperial capital, and it is a great luck to be able to get the opportunity to watch from the sidelines, so naturally they can't care about these anymore.
At the bottom of the South Three Peaks, Sun Fei and the others were once again strictly inspected by the defense team composed of the masters of the Royal Palace Guards and the palace magicians, repeatedly confirmed the identities of everyone, and removed everyone's weapons, including space equipment such as magic storage rings, before finally letting them go.
The process is rigorous.
At the entrance of the corridor, Sun Fei noticed that a Praetorian Guard master was holding a purple round artifact in his hand, radiating purple light that swept over everyone's body, his expression was extremely solemn, and a master who didn't know which subject country he came from didn't know why he suddenly burst into purple light when he was scanned, and was suddenly shackled by a group of wolf-like Praetorian Guards in an exclamation.
Of the twenty-five masters of the subject countries, one of them was missing before they had climbed the Martial Saint Mountain.
The environment in the corridor is much drier than that at the bottom of the mountain, and every five meters or so on the stone walls on both sides, there is a magic voice-activated lantern that emits a faint orange light, which suddenly lights up when the footsteps of everyone approaches, illuminating the original dark corridor, and slowly extinguishing it again soon after everyone has passed.
The road is deep and deep, twisting and turning, and you will not know the direction for more than ten minutes, and you can only vaguely know that the road is leading to the mountain, because the road under your feet has been showing a slope, and in some places it is even slightly steep, straight up and down, and you can only fly up through the iron cable hanging on the cliff.
Fortunately, the group is all masters in the qualifying competition, and the lowest strength is at the four-star beginner level, so such a road is naturally difficult for the group.
Under the leadership of the three expressionless middle-aged masters of the Praetorian Guard in the front, after more than 30 minutes, a glimmer of light was faintly revealed in front of him, and the faint sound of the wind was whistling.
At this time, ten middle-aged people wearing flaxen-colored robes and carrying autumn water swords and wood-grained shields were already waiting in the square.
The three expressionless masters of the Royal Praetorian Guard whispered a few words to the eldest of the ten men who were armed with swords and shields, and then turned around and returned to the corridor to descend the mountain. Apparently their task of leading the way has been accomplished.
Sun Fei could clearly feel the importance that the empire attached to this martial holy war.
The three Praetorian Guard masters who led the way before were all at the peak of four stars, and the ten middle-aged people who appeared in Xiaoshi Square at this time were all about five stars, their steps were calm, and their actions were like mountains moving around, obviously they were all masters of the earth-based fighting spirit, judging by their clothes, they were not people from the royal court, nor were they people in the military, if Sun Fei didn't guess wrong, these people should be masters of Wusheng Mountain.
Ding Ding Ding Ding!!
A series of fine and dense like the tide of gold and stone resonance suddenly came, everyone raised their eyes, but found that at this time they were already at the top of the South Three Peaks, the square stood on all sides of the Zenit Empire's god of war - the god of war holding a sword and shield more than 20 meters towering, behind the statue are more than 600 meters of cliffs, clouds and mist, the mountain wind howling.
And the sound of the symphony of gold and stone came from the hanging iron chains made of black iron on the side of the square.
Countless black iron chains were fixed under the pedestal of the statue of the god of war at the edge of the small square on one side, and extended between the misty clouds in the distance on the other side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with us. The short-bearded middle-aged man at the head nodded at Sun Fei and the others, turned around and came to the edge of the square, jumped on the tinkling and trembling iron chain, and his body was extremely skillful, and he actually walked towards the clouds.
The group was in an uproar.
With such a high mountain peak and a wind-like mountain wind howling, if you accidentally fall down, you will be crushed to pieces, do you have to go over this iron chain? What is the other end of the iron chain?
For a while, most people were a little hesitant.
After hesitating for a moment, the [Silver Armor Maniac] arrogantly crossed his hands on his hips and laughed, glanced at the people behind him, and said, "A group of cowards, watch Lao Tzu show you." After speaking, his figure flashed like a white lightning bolt and flew onto the chain, and soon disappeared into the vast white mist.
With the person who took the lead, more than 20 people flew on the chain one after another.
At this time, the magical princess Sindy became the object of envy of everyone, only to see her chanting a spell softly, a pair of cyan transparent huge magic wings stretched out from her back, and disappeared into the clouds in a few flickers.
Soon there were only a few people with the lowest strength left on the platform of the square, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated, it was still difficult to resist the temptation of watching the peak battle of the Martial Saint, gritted his teeth and sacrificed his life to step on the chain.
Sun Fei was the last, and when everyone was in the clouds, he flashed into the chains.
He had been pondering just now, and after seeing it at first glance was a middle-aged man with a long sword and wooden shield, he didn't know why, Sun Fei had a very strange feeling in his heart, both strange and familiar, as if something was going to happen, from the first time he opened his eyes in the morning, Sun Fei had a not very good feeling, and it was even more obvious at this time.
The feet are sick, and the body is like electricity.
Such a cable bridge is naturally difficult for him.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the front.
......
At the other end of the iron cable, there is also a small stone square, the area is slightly larger than the top of the three southern peaks, it seems to be between the vast clouds and mist, but in fact, it is less than a kilometer away from the top of the three southern peaks, most people have reached the opposite side in only a few minutes, and soon only three or four people are left without coming.
But one of the people who hasn't come here yet is King Chambord, and it's a little abnormal here.
Just when everyone was suspicious, the sound of hunting and hunting in clothes came, and the figure flickered, but saw King Chambord leading two people to fly over and fall in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life!!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as they arrived at the other side of the square, the two people stepped on the ground, and immediately bowed down to thank, their faces were terrified, it turned out to be on the iron chain just now, the two of them almost fell off the cliff in the mountain wind, and were rescued by the Chambord King who arrived later.
It's just that the next journey is still the road of chains, and the two of them don't dare to move forward anymore, and they stay at the top of the East Peak for the time being, and later there will be a master to send the two down the mountain, and they want to see the battle of the Martial Saint again, but they can't.
In this way, after passing through the Cloud Chain Road six times in a row, the group reached the halfway point of the Central Sword Peak.
The mountain of this Martial Saint Mountain is really too thrilling, even a four-star beginner warrior wants to climb it is extremely difficult, if an ordinary mortal or an army wants to conquer the Martial Saint Mountain, it is definitely very difficult.
Fortunately, from the halfway point of Jianfeng to the top, it is another section of the road in the belly of the mountain, but it is much safer.
In the next more than an hour, walking forward in the winding and winding road, just when everyone was impatient, there was light in front again, and after walking a few steps, I finally walked out of the road.
As far as the eye could see, everyone was stunned.
I saw the hills undulating, the green grass was desolate, the flowers were splendid, the ancient trees were stacked and green, the breeze was blowing, the water was murmuring, the spirit birds were low, and the beasts were chirping...... It was supposed to be the coldest winter in the Empire, but it was a beautiful scene of spring and rejuvenation.
The place where everyone stands is like a paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, just a breath of fresh air here, you feel a sense of independence from the world, forget all your worries and sorrows.
