Chapter 2: Eichenwald (II)
Soon, Zhou Yuan came to the foot of the hill where Eichenwald Castle was located - from here, he could already vaguely see Eschenwald's face.
It is an ancient castle made of moss-covered stones, so old that it was rare even in the world before the change, and it was probably the only huge castle in this world.
The castle is located on the top of a hill not too far from here – a straight distance, of course. The height of the mountain is about 1,000 meters, and the winding mountain road takes you around the peak three times, and the total distance is about 7 or 8 kilometers.
Standing here just looking at it makes me feel like I don't have enough power, but luckily the mountain road is built in the shape of a serpentine shape that surrounds the mountain, so it is not very steep.
It's just that this way ......
Zhou Yuan looked at the mountain road in front of him. The mountain road is completely composed of wooden planks that are paved in a row that are deeply inserted into the stone wall with no knowing what ability, and the planks are only wide enough for one person to pass, Zhou Yuan just stepped on a step, and then made a squeaky sound, as if it was about to break in the next second.
Walking this path is definitely a huge challenge for the psyche...... But there was only one way to go, and it was clearly the only way for the Crusaders to get in and out of the place. If the Crusaders are fine walking around in that kind of standard armor, then they should have no problem themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth, raised his head and walked forward. Zhou Yuan didn't even dare to bow his head - Zhou Yuan was afraid that he would see this mountain road again, and he didn't dare to continue walking.
The planks that Zhou Yuan stepped on made an unpleasant sound that was bent to the point of almost breaking. And Zhou Yuan just gritted his teeth and walked up with his head up, trying to ignore these situations that made him feel very uneasy.
Suddenly, an extremely dangerous feeling came to Zhou Yuan's heart.
"Not good...... There is danger!"
Zhou Yuan jumped forward as fast as he could. In the next second, the wooden plank under Zhou Yuan's feet before snapped open, broke in half, and fell downward.
A second later, the sound of wooden planks shattering could be heard from below the peak.
In terms of the delay time of the sound, this height is already close to two hundred meters...... If this height falls, I guess I will definitely die, and the question is whether to leave a whole corpse.
Even if it's too late to activate the armor of the remnant, Jia will save his life...... At such a high height, do you have to do it all over again?
"Isn't it...... If you say yes, you won't break it......?"
Zhou Yuan looked at the wooden board he was stepping on just now with a thrilled expression. I have reduced the force on the wooden board to a very low level through a special way of walking, but this wooden board is still overwhelmed...... So how did the crusaders come up?
However, Zhou Yuan didn't have time to think about this problem, because Zhou Yuan jumped hard just now, so the plank under Zhou Yuan's feet obviously couldn't withstand such strength......
There was another sound of wooden planks cracking. This time, Zhou Yuan's feet had been completely hollowed, and only one hand was left to hold on to the bulge exposed by the stone and hang on the cliff wall.
A short walk further is not a wooden road, but a naturally formed stone road...... Just go a little further!
Zhou Yuan carefully grabbed the edge of the rock with his hand, moved it little by little, and then let go of his hand and landed on the ground, gasping softly.
It's much safer to step on a stone than to step on a shaky plank.
It's just that after the incident just now, although Zhou Yuan's right hand is fine because it is a ghost hand, the fingers of his left hand are grinding and hurting by the edge of the stone.
There is only such a small section of the stone mountain road, and behind the stone is a mountain road made of wooden planks. Obviously, with this kind of boardwalk that can break down at any moment, it is certainly not an option to go down this road.
But......
Zhou Yuan glanced back at the bottom. Having come up so much, do you want to go down?and, according to Athena, there is only one way to the Crusaders' castle of Eichenwald......
Yes, there is no way, we have to keep going.
Zhou Yuan sighed and continued to walk towards it. Only this time, Zhou Yuan found two tactical daggers from his backpack and slashed at the rock wall.
Well, there's nothing wrong with this tactical dagger. At the very least, the dagger was much stronger than his own hand, and as soon as it hit the rock, a piece of it was chopped off.
This is also how it should be, the dagger of Chaoalloy can't cut through stones, it really becomes a joke.
In this case, at least if you step on the air, you will have enough coping facilities to get back on the road......
Zhou Yuan stood in front of the plank, took a deep breath, and walked towards it.
Fortunately, the first kick was quite sturdy. Although the wooden planks still creaked when he stepped on, at least he could still stand alone.
Zhou Yuan's pace this time was much slower than the last time - this time the tactical dagger held by Zhou Yuan in his left hand had already been attached to the rock wall at any time, and if Zhou Yuan fell, he could use the dagger to fix himself on the rock wall at any time.
The rest of the road is basically a combination of a section with wooden planks inserted into the rocks and a natural path made of stones. Because Zhou Yuan has become much more cautious, although there were several wooden planks broken in the middle, Zhou Yuan himself was unharmed.
Around half past four in the afternoon. As the sun was about to set on the other side of Eichenwald's peak, a pair of hands appeared on the edge of the steep rock face. Then, after a person supported his upper body, and finally put one leg on it, the whole person turned over and lay on the edge of the stone wall.
"It turned out so much later than scheduled...... It's a really difficult road to follow, I'm exhausted......"
Zhou Yuan lay on the ground, gasping for air. The road below is okay, the planks of the last section of the road above have been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and almost all of them have corroded, and Zhou Yuan of that section of the road is completely stuck in the rock wall all the way with a tactical dagger, and simply forcibly climbs up directly.
And the castle of the Crusaders, Eichenwald also stood in front of Zhou Yuan. The entire castle is made up of two parts, the outer city and the inner city, which almost completely occupy the entire top of the hill - in fact, there is even a dilapidated room of Eichenwald next to Zhou Yuan.
Just as Zhou Yuan was lying on the ground like a dead dog to recover his strength, the two sides of the stone wall of the dilapidated room suddenly opened to the left and right, revealing the metal equipment inside, and then a person walked out of it.
It was none other than the Arad Continenter who was almost killed by the unconscious Zhou Yuan before, Scar.
