Chapter 439: Climbing the Mountain
In half a month, the teams participating in the Sixteen Nations Competition came to the capital of the Golden Dragon Kingdom intermittently, and the Sixteen Nations Competition finally began, which was held half a month later.
The Sixteen Kingdoms Competition, including the Golden Dragon Country team, has sixteen teams, each team has ten people, a total of 160 people.
One hundred and sixty young people from different countries gathered at the foot of a big mountain, and the mountain in front of them was the test they needed.
There is a platform at the top of the mountain, and only those who board the platform within ten days will pass the assessment, and those who do not board the platform will be eliminated.
One hundred and sixty people were divided into ten teams, each of which was a contestant from one country, and the sixteen teams were located at the foot of different mountains.
As a senior member of the Golden Dragon Kingdom announced the start, all sixteen teams rushed up the mountain in an instant.
At the same time, in an instant, all the teams dispersed, as if they had been forcibly dispersed, and they were distributed in various positions on the mountain.
The mountain is more than 8,000 meters above sea level, and it is even longer if you go up the slope, and the natural environment alone is a great challenge, not to mention the dangers along the way.
Since the Golden Dragon Kingdom has made this mountain an assessment, it is naturally not so simple to just let people climb the mountain, there must be something dangerous in the mountain, or there are simply cultivators hiding inside.
Long Zun entered the forest on the mountain, he was the only one by his side, and the same door that originally came with him had already been separated after entering the forest in the mountain.
Of course, it wasn't that they were deliberately trying to disperse, but that there seemed to be a mysterious force in the woods that made them lose track of each other after a few paces.
Many people were stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on at all, only the team of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, who seemed to be completely unworried about their companions, continued to walk in the direction of the mountain.
As soon as Long Zun entered the forest, he had a familiar feeling, and when he found that his fellow disciples around him had disappeared, he knew that he had entered a maze, just like the maze in the secret realm of the last Yuntian Sect's personal disciple ranking battle.
If you take a wrong step in the maze, you will naturally faint in it and lose the trace of your companions.
However, he was sure that the purpose of this maze should only be to keep everyone apart, not to disorient people and prevent them from climbing the mountain.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the vast majority of people will never think of it for the rest of their lives, let alone climb the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Long Zun walked alone in the woods, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, not like being in the wild, but more like being in a completely dead underworld.
Of course, he didn't know if there was a place like the underworld, and he hadn't seen it, but that didn't stop him from thinking about it that way.
Fortunately, the crowd at the foot of the mountain could still be seen, otherwise he would have thought he had entered a secret place.
In the silence of the mountain forest, there was no sound except the sound of the wind as he walked, and the cracking sound of stepping on dead branches and rotten leaves.
The maze, and only the maze can do this, it seems to be the same in the forest, in terms of strength, most of these woods are fake, just some reflections.
It's just that the maze makes these big trees growing in the forest real, and deceives a pair of naked eyes.
Long Zun knew that this was because his strength was too low, if a powerhouse of the level of the Martial Sect could distinguish whether the scene in front of him was true or false without relying on his eyes and only using his divine sense.
Walking in the forest, he could not walk in a straight line, but could only walk around the big trees, because the big trees in front of him were all real, but they appeared here like images in reflections.
And the culprit of everything is the maze and the creator of the maze.
Therefore, the big tree in the forest is both real and false, it is said to be real because it really exists, and it is said to be false because it should not exist here, but it is just an image of the forest that has been transformed into truth through the effect of a maze and appears on the way to climb the mountain at the foot of this mountain.
But what is fake is fake after all, otherwise there would not be those spirit-sensitive beasts in it.
It's hard to see a single grass on the ground, otherwise there would be no weeds or wild fungi in such a large forest.
After walking around the big trees blocking in front of him for almost two hours, Long Zun finally walked out of this maze forest.
This is because he has a bonus in the face of speed in the wind attribute, so he can be so fast, otherwise he will be delayed in it for most of the day.
Walking out of the forest, Long Zun suddenly noticed that the temperature was a little low, but he was not surprised, as the altitude increased, the temperature would naturally get lower and lower.
Now he has just started to climb the mountain, if he reaches the top of the mountain, I am afraid that the temperature will be lower, the peak of more than 8,000 meters above sea level, think about it to know how low the temperature on the top of the mountain will be, how cold people will become on it.
Out of the maze of the forest, there is a barren meadow, surrounded by the sound of air currents and winds, swaying blades of grass, and even some small animals.
Long Zun caught a hare, skillfully peeled and washed it, and made a fire to bake on it.
It's not that he is not in a hurry to go to the top of the mountain, but he knows that sharpening the knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, and he has given ten days, so he will not be able to climb the top of the mountain all at once, and he will definitely encounter all kinds of things along the way.
Otherwise, where would it take as many as ten days, one day would be enough for these young disciples who participated in the Great Contest of the Sixteen Kingdoms to climb to the top of the mountain.
After eating and drinking, Long Zun patted his round belly and got up on the road unhurriedly.
Although he didn't know what the situation was now, he was sure that no more than a third of the people could get out of the woods.
Not everyone is so coincidental that they not only have the cultivation of the Great Martial Master Realm, but also comprehend the attributes of the wind system that are helpful for speed.
After all, relatively speaking, if a wind system comprehension wants to break through the Great Martial Master Realm, it is not as easy as the Five Elements Attribute to break through the Great Martial Master Realm.
Therefore, young geniuses who can become cultivators of the Great Martial Master Realm before the age of twenty rarely have wind system comprehensions, and most of them are people with five element attributes.
The wasteland is not very large, but because it is on the slope of the mountain, it will appear to be larger, in fact, it is not more than 500 meters above sea level.
As the moor got to the back, there was less dirt under his feet, but there were more gravel and stones, and in some places large stones appeared on the ground.
When I finally walked through the wasteland, I saw an extremely difficult mountain road, or only the cliff wall had no road at all, and people had to climb up on their own.
It's not that Long Zun hasn't climbed the cliff, he climbed the cliff in the secret realm of the Black Fog Mountain, but at that time, there were vines hanging down from it.
But this time, there were no vines, and if you wanted to do it, you could only touch the raised stones and cracks on the cliff wall.
In addition, in addition to being able to climb the cliff in the air, you can only climb up little by little.
There is no need to ask, Long Zun knows that this is a test left for the team of the Sixteen Kingdoms Competition, and those with low strength will naturally slow down here and further widen the distance between them and the people in front of them.
