Chapter Thirty-Eight
The shrine is not in the middle of the entire viewing platform, but directly in front of the circular platform in the middle.
There, a broken circle stands facing the platform, and the interlaced circles are covered with old rust, telling the story of history, and the dots of lines on it take people to a much more distant era!
Walking up the steps, the three of them stood in the center of the circle, the sun shining right through the gap, and the revelation of the dawn heralded that the climb would begin today!
The ancient language slowly emerged from the mouths of the elders, and several elders formed a circle above the circular platform, and under the rotation of each other, their mouths kept chanting, like some kind of cult ritual!
However, after all, the Burning Sun Sect was holy and glorious here, and such a ceremony made the people around him solemn, and also made Chen Xi have some positive things in his heart, slightly dispelling some negative feelings.
The ceremony was almost over, before the sunlight moved into the distance, and at this time, the three of them were about to embark on their way!
At this time, the elder did not speak to Chen Xi and them again, and Chen Xi did not greet the people behind him, yes, after the practice ceremony was over, the warrior could not turn back, he could only move forward!
After the end of the staircase, there is a complete mountain road, here, there will be no more cloth huts for the Lakol people to protect from the wind and snow, there will be no artificially dug cave paths, there will be no more temporary sheltered caves to shelter from the wind and snow, everything is only the direction of progress revealed by the bones!
The noon sun passed quickly, and the rugged mountain road made the three of them soon unable to see the high platform ring in the various mountain cliffs, and the mountain snow had gradually appeared at their feet!
Fortunately, the snow here does not form a hard layer of ice, and the mountaineering tools brought out from the Rakol tribe do not need to be taken out for the time being.
Time quickly spent the first day in a hurry, but only the first day had already made Chen Xi feel this difficult journey.
Here, there are no artificial caves, and the cracks in the mountains become the best camps.
Set up the tent between the two cracks, in Altlin's surprised eyes, Chen Xi skillfully set up a bonfire, an iron frame and barbecued meat, and finally, in the magic of Ruiz, the fire began to burn, roasting the meat pieces soft and fragrant.
After leaving Sukawa, this was the first time the team had grilled three pieces of meat, and Alterin had no less respect for Ruiz than he did for Chen Xi at this time, just because of a barbecue!
Although there was snow here, the wind was still very light overnight, and the fabric curtain that Chen Xi specially sewed on the top of the tent in the Lakoer tribe made the whole tent more warm.
Wrapped in the fur clothes of the Lakoer tribe, Chen Xi fell asleep deeply!
In the morning, the sudden wind and snow caused Chen Xi to have to get out of the deep snowdrift, and the Giant God Peak unexpectedly gave them a blow on the first night.
Fortunately, the sturdy quality of the tent prevented it from being damaged, and the three of them hurriedly cleaned up, and after satisfying their hunger with snow water and dried meat, they continued the sacred journey!
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed!
Throughout the way, the mountains were getting lower and lower, telling Chen Xi that they were climbing along a mountain peak, and if it weren't for the two bends that turned back halfway, Chen Xi suspected that he had spared the Giant God Peak!
At a very high place, Chen Xi saw the metal ring at the bottom of the mountain, which was still bathed in the dawn, but this was already a region ruled by drifting snow!
There was an iceberg cliff in front of him, and Chen Xi took out two sharp iron cones from his back, the sharp and slender awls were enough to penetrate deep into the ice, allowing the smooth mountain wall to climb!
This primitive tool has not been questioned by Chen Xi, as early as two days ago, the wooden-handled pickaxe proved the craftsmanship that the Lakoer people are proud of!
Of course, tools can't save Chen Xi's life, he can do it himself!
This icy cliff is only ten meters high, and it is not completely steep and smooth, but the middle of the cliff with more than 70 degrees is nearly five meters away from any protruding rocks, which is enough to become a death zone that swallows people's lives!
The first to move forward was Ryze, of course, who didn't need this primitive tool, and the magic made him stick to the ice with his hands, and quickly climbed up.
After that, a rope was dropped, although the magic could also take the two people below up, but Altlin stopped Chen Xi, such a blasphemous trial will not be recognized, and will even be completely expelled!
Of course, Chen Xi didn't have to follow this, but he chose to abide by the rules, hoping to gain more favor from the Goddess of Dawn in the end!
However, this cliff is obviously not something that a pure mountaineer like him can climb, on this peak, not suffocating due to lack of oxygen is already his physical fitness!
So, under the compromise, in such a place, Ruiz went up first, put down the rope and let the two follow.
Although Altlin was also apprehensive about such an opportunistic way of training, the leader of the gods made him choose this safer way!
Even with a rope, Chen Xi could only use a sharp metal tip to chisel into the ice again and again, and try his best to pull himself up to climb up, and by the time he reached the ten-meter cliff, it was already ten minutes later, and he could only fall to the ground with all his strength and gasp for breath!
Soon, Altlin also climbed up, although he was not as embarrassed as Chen Xi, but he was not comfortable.
The team could not afford to delay, nothing belonging to the Rakor was already visible, the iron rings were gone, and the shelter on the mountain wall was gone.
And a rare section of flat ground appeared in front of them, and the cold ice was not slippery here, but because of the moisture on the soles of their feet, they had to drive hard every step down!
Fortunately, the soles that have been wrapped in fur before leaving them don't have too much trouble.
However, there are always troubles, often unexpected and exceptionally difficult!
Maybe it's a snow eagle, maybe it's a legendary griffin, the limbs of the weird lifeform seem to have wings and claws, and it seems that the claws have feathers, and they are facing the three of them with sharp eyes and sharp claws, to be precise, Chen Xi is the first to appear!
"Bo Bao!"
Next to him, Altlin took a deep breath and said nervously.
Ruiz stepped forward, about to make a move.
"Don't, Master Mage, this is a test that the Goddess of Dawn has given to the Divine Favorer!
Alterin did not draw the spear at his waist, which was enough to prove his idea.
"Let me do it!"
Chen Xi said lightly that if the trial can give him a chance to go home, he is willing to give it a try!
