Chapter 162
So he started to climb up, and on the side of the tower near Hualong Pass, the tower wall and the earth formed an acute angle, and the little crocodile really wished he was not a crocodile, but a gecko, and he wished he had a sucker on his hand so that he could ignore the damn sharp angle.
Unfortunately, he was not a gecko, he did not have a sucker in his hand, so he had to hold on to the tower wall as hard as possible, fortunately, this tower wall was not smoothed by his father, and the body of the tower made of boulders was mottled by the age, and there were many small holes on it that were small enough to hold on.
However, even so, the climb is extremely dangerous, because of the damn sharp angles, the little crocodile must dig its claws deep into the tower, or he will fall, and no climber in the world can do such a climb, unless they have glue instead of magnesium powder on their hands.
The little crocodile still remembered his father's words, the day he made a move on the tower, the little crocodile saw it clearly from the side, and he asked his father, why didn't he smooth out the side near Hualong Pass?
The father smiled and told him:
"If someone can climb the side of a sloping tower and not lose at all because of the dragon pass under his feet, then I would rather lose at his hands."
That person is me, the little crocodile thought to himself, I am not afraid of the dragon pass under my feet at all, my hands and feet will not tremble at all, I will climb up, because I have climbed the bridge of death that is even more sinister than this.
Compared to the thin logs, the little crocodile thinks that this tower is so cute.
Isn't it? At least it won't shake, it won't tremble, it won't fucking roll, it won't even bounce!
I just had to insert my claws in, and the little crocodile told himself that if I pulled in, I could climb up safely, which was much more comfortable than climbing a log......
It's hard to imagine that someone is climbing the sloping tower wall, and the roaring Dragon Pass is under his feet, and that person's mind is actually that:
"It's much more comfortable."
However, this was indeed what the little crocodile really thought, and he climbed over the log, and at that time he was only afraid, and even when he had finished, he felt that the experience was a nightmare, and that he should never remember it again.
However, at this moment, he suddenly found that when he climbed the sloping tower wall, when his feet occasionally had nowhere to kick out, and therefore had to hang in the air, he was surprised to find that the experience of climbing the bridge of death clearly came to mind.
How the claws fell, how the muscles exerted, which way the body leaned to keep balance, everything was vivid, as if he was climbing not the sloping tower wall, but the thin log.
Father, he thought, as you yourself said, if anyone can climb the sloping tower wall and not be afraid of the roar of the dragon pass under his feet, you will be willing to lose at his hands. Now, I'm afraid you're going to fall at the hands of your son, just because you gave me a birthday present with a surveillance crystal......
He thought about "revenge", but before he could finish it, his outstretched left paw suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then it fell limply, and he grabbed it empty.
The next moment, the wind whistled in his ears, and his whole body swung to the side, and in an instant, his heart almost jumped out, and he saw the dragon in front of his eyes flashing, and the flames and miasma raged in it.
Hold on, he told himself, his mind was blank, pick up, this was a completely instinctive reaction, hold on, he only had one point of focus in his whole body, which was his right hand, pick up, he told himself.
He grabbed it, and the moment his body reverberate, he stretched out his back paw and stomped on the tower wall, he used his right front paw and left hind paw to maintain balance, and his whole body rolled down on its side.
"Ah......h
He groaned softly, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his left paw, which was an old wound left by climbing a thin log, which had been anointed by him before, but had not yet recovered, and at this moment it was naturally an injury on top of injury, and his soul exploded in pain.
The little crocodile felt a shock, and he was surprised to find that the pain was much stronger than the pain on the thin log, and he gasped for air.
I wish you were still paralyzed, thought the little crocodile, who understood where the pain came from.
When he climbed the log, his whole arm was almost paralyzed, and the pain was much lesser, and he was able to climb up with just the few muscles that he still felt.
However, when he wrapped the wound in the ointment and the sensation in his arm was gradually restored, everything was different, and now the nerves in his arm were no longer paralyzed, and he felt the sharp pain as a result.
"Hiss......"
He inhaled softly, it hurt so much, it hurt so much, he wanted to cut off his left claw, if it was possible.
For a moment, he even thought of giving up, under that kind of severe pain, it didn't matter what kind of woman in white he was, what kind of guard he was, it didn't matter, he only had one thought, and that was to get out of here.
At this time, he suddenly saw a small window not far from him.
Jump in through this window! For a moment, the little crocodile's heart moved, and then he simulated his own movements in his mind, it was very simple, he thought, climb there, jump in, and fall, I may fall badly, but it is definitely better than enduring the pain and climbing up!
So he moved slowly towards the window, he didn't dare to touch the wall with his left paw, he could only grasp the wall with his right front paw and his left hind paw, he was like a wriggling caterpillar, so his speed was slow, and when he finally approached the window, he hesitated.
Fuck it, he said to himself, what am I doing? Am I giving up? What the hell am I doing if I climbed halfway through the window like a fool and fell down the window? I'm afraid that the fat silver carp will die of laughter!
Yes, the claws do hurt, so what? Have you forgotten your own rhetoric? You're going to go to God.
When he thought of God, he felt a wave of anger in his heart, yes, damn God, he thought, it's because of him, it's because of him, it's he who arranged all this, he plays with me, he plays with me, I must go to him to settle accounts.
You can't even bear this pain, and you have to give up at the slightest setback, how can you settle accounts with God?
Then I can't help it, the little crocodile told himself, then I won't give up, and then go to him to settle accounts.
Hurry up, I'm running out of time, he told himself.
Then, he took one last look at Hualong Pass.
At this time, he had climbed half the distance, saying that it was not high or not, and that it was not low, but he could see everything clearly in Hualong Pass, flames, miasma, and thunder, they were all bloodthirsty beasts.
Sometimes the little crocodile even wonders if they are the creatures of nature, how could nature be so cruel and create such a fierce beast that can easily mutilate countless lives?
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, so he turned his head sharply, glanced at Hualong Pass again, and then looked at Hualong Pass, this time he stared at Hualong Pass.
Is it a delusion? He asked himself, why did I feel ...... Something is calling to me?
He shook his head vigorously, feeling that he must have felt wrong, what could be in the Dragon Pass? Damn flames, miasma, thunder, they want to devour life anytime and anywhere, but they can't devour me, I've been in twice, and I've danced on their heads once, just like now, they can't devour me.
A wonderful feeling was born in him, and unlike that strange feeling, this time, he enjoyed the thrill of conquest.
He remembered that once, when he was talking to his father about the aquarium in the big world outside, his father told him that there was a kind of mermaid tribe with fish on the lower body and beautiful women on the upper body, beautiful and powerful, and good at dancing on the tip of a knife.
At that time, the little crocodile was startled, and the thought of dancing on the tip of the knife made him shudder deeply.
"Aren't they in pain?" He asked his father.
"They have special skills that can avoid the point of the knife, and they are graceful and light death dancers." The king of the Great River Valley replied.
"Even so, aren't they afraid?" The little crocodile asked his father.
"No, they won't," the king of the Great River Valley looked at his son deeply, "they will only enjoy, because they have conquered the tip of the sword, they have conquered death, which is the root of their strength, and if they are afraid, they will die." ”
At that time, the little crocodile could not understand why someone danced on the tip of a knife but was not afraid, conquering death, he thought, his father must be bragging, what kind of enjoyment can be dancing on the tip of a knife?
Now, when he was leaning on the sloping tower wall, half of his body dangling in the air, one arm in severe pain, and the dragon pass roaring below, he finally understood what it meant to conquer the enjoyment of death.
I am the dancer on the dragon pass, and he tells himself that I enjoy conquering death.
For a moment, he only felt that his body was light, and a trembling pleasure was born in his mind, he first trembled all over, and then felt an extra power in his body, which was a swift and ingenious power, and the little crocodile could clearly feel it.
Am I freeing the shadows? In an instant, the little crocodile understood that the extra power in his body was the power locked by the shadow, and the shadow was the Dragon Pass.
He had heard his father talk about the existence of "shadows", and his father said that everyone has different degrees of shadows, and those shadows come from painful experiences, and shadows can change people's personality and weaken people's strength.
Many people spend their lives fighting against shadows, while others ignore the shadows and keep their mouths shut, as if they ignore their existence and they do not exist.
Of course, this is impossible, according to the king of the Great River Valley, if people defeat the shadows, they can get many benefits from it, and if they allow the shadows to exist, they will not be able to see the shadows, they will be swallowed by the shadows.
The little crocodile didn't believe this before, because there was no one in the book, he only thought it was his father's joke, but he really felt the existence of that power, and he also understood what the shadow in his heart was.
