Chapter 220: "Death Valley"
Mount Everest, this is a place that is so familiar to Ling Tian~
At this time, Ling Tian and Ling Yu and his party were rushing to the canyon on their way to Everest.
The snow danced in the sky, and the brilliance of the golden sun sprinkled on the highest peak, which is the highest mountain on the earth, known as the top of the world - Mount Everest!
Ling Tian in his previous life was forced to come here, jumping off the desperate cliff, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting off the pain and sorrow of his previous life, flying snow as a quilt, becoming his coffin, covering his already scarred body, ending his "brilliant" life for him.
In the course of several days of continuous travel, Ling Tian and the others had already arrived at the mouth of the "canyon" that Canghu Lake pointed to at this time.
From the outside, this canyon is basically no different from other canyons in the Everest Mountains, with a long passage sandwiched between two peaks.
And here, too, has been given an awe-inspiring name by the locals - "Death Valley!" β
Reddish-brown gravel dotted the thick snowy ground, and the cold wind in the valley slid through everyone's skin like a sharp blade.
And after Ling Tian and his party came here, Ling Tian no longer let people go forward, and just stood at the mouth of the valley, as if they were waiting for something~
This place was very strange, when Ling Tian first arrived here, he tried to use his divine sense to explore the situation inside, but he didn't find anything.
But Ling Tian found that on the way they came, there were a bunch of people and horses, who were continuing to move towards here, and everyone's strength was not bad, if they were placed outside, everyone would also be a figure above the human king level.
After a while~ the group of people that Ling Tian had noticed before also appeared here.
There were six or seven people in that group, and each of them was wearing a pure white robe, and looking at their faces, they looked more like people from the northern frontier of the Western Regions of Country Z.
When they appeared here, they all spotted Ling Tian and his party for the first time, but they were much more arrogant, and they didn't come over to greet Ling Tian and the others, but walked directly into it from Ling Tian's side.
As soon as that group of people walked into the "Valley of Death", a gust of wind and snow struck, which swept the team into it and disappeared from everyone's sight.
And this time, when Ling Tian went in, he made a little action on one person, and at this time, Ling Tian also understood the situation inside.
Then, Ling Tian said:
"Let's go~"
Immediately afterward, under Ling Tian's leadership, the others also followed closely behind, stepping into the place called "Death Valley" one after another.
The situation of Ling Tian and the others was the same as that of the group of people in white robes before, after a gust of wind and snow, everyone disappeared into the "Valley of Death".
Everyone felt that something particularly bright suddenly flashed in front of them, and the scene in front of them changed drastically.
Outside the valley is covered with perennial snow and the surrounding cold wind is biting, but the scene inside this valley is very different.
The valley is full of reddish-brown gravel, and the surrounding rock walls are a huge rock, and the surface of the rock wall is as smooth as an axe and a chisel, and the entire surface is almost 90 degrees vertical.
The biggest difference is the temperature in the valley.
Outside the valley, the sky is full of snowflakes, and the temperature is minus thirty or forty degrees all year round, but the temperature in this valley is forty or fifty degrees higher.
If it weren't for the fact that they had some cultivation now, I am afraid it would be impossible to resist such a huge temperature difference.
However, after coming here, Ling Tian looked up and found something interesting.
At the top of this "Death Valley" is the Desperate Cliff under Ling Tian's appointment in the previous life.
"Is this a coincidence?" Ling Tian muttered in a low voice.
This voice was very quiet, and the others didn't have time to pay attention to what Ling Tian had just said at this moment, and their attention was completely focused on the special environment here at this time.
"Childe, let's go~" Canghu walked to Ling Tian's side and said
"Hmm~"
Then, under the leadership of Canghu, Ling Tian and his party marched towards the depths of the valley again.
Strangely, though, they hadn't seen the group they had seen since they entered here.
After walking forward for less than half an hour, Ling Tian saw a circular high-rise building similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome not far in front of him.
"What's that?" Ling Tian looked at the white building not far away and suddenly asked
"Tell Childe, it's the Colosseum for this competition!"
"The Colosseum? You immortals, you really look down on us mortals! β
"This .....," Canghu said embarrassedly
"You don't have to be nervous, it's not you what I'm talking about~"
.....
As Ling Tian and the others continued to approach the building, the appearance of it slowly appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the shock of that building became more and more intense.
From the outside, the whole building is ivory white, and from the outside, there are five or six floors, and the overall architectural style is very similar to the architectural style of the Middle Ages on Earth.
Each stone pillar used in the construction is also a whole stone strip, as if it had never been cut, and the surface of the wall is carved with oriental reliefs.
When Ling Tian and the others came here, many people had already gathered here.
At this moment, the faces of the people gathered here all showed worried and frightened looks, but at the same time, on the faces of some people, they showed a kind of happiness.
And the team of people that Ling Tian had met before had indifferent expressions, as if they had a feeling that they were winning.
When Ling Tian and the others came here, Canghu stepped forward and said:
"Childe, I need to go back to my life now, and then come back~"
"Hmm~ Go ahead..... If I can see Key'er, pass a message for me, let her not worry, I will save her out~"
"Yes!"
Then, Canghu left the team and flew towards the arena.
Then, Ling Tian also found that there were also such characters in several other teams, leaving the team and flying towards them.
The only difference is that their costumes are different, as if the costumes of each team are different, like people in different families.
At this moment, inside the Colosseum, above the stands, it has been divided into eight camps, each with its own special color.
Directly opposite the stands, there is a circular stand suspended in the air, and on this stand, there are only eight chairs, but no one is on it.
Under the suspended circular stone platform, Ling Yu and a few people who had been brought out of the "dungeon" were imprisoned.
And their presence does not seem to be the main thing, they are more like some prizes, placed in the most conspicuous place.
"Hey~I haven't seen so many people for a long time~" The man who was called an old horse by Gu Tao said suddenly
"Yes, it's like a monkey in a zoo, it's really unpleasant~" Gu Tao said with a dissatisfied face
"You can be content, it's more comfortable than staying in that dark cell~"
"Hmph~"
Gu Tao snorted, then turned his head and turned his back to the spectators in the stands.
"Are you surnamed Ma?" Gu Jian looked at the old man known as Lao Ma and suddenly asked
"Yes, little girl, is there anything that you have taken a fancy to my grandson? Do you want to introduce the old man, I'll introduce you~" The old man surnamed Ma raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Key and said
This sentence made Gu Tao a little embarrassed, but when he heard this, it was Gu Tao who reacted even more.
"Old horse head, you don't pay attention to my daughter, just that kid in your family, it looks like he can't carry his shoulders and can't lift his hands, he looks sick, just like you, an old man, how can you be worthy of my daughter, you still die of this heart~"
"How do you speak, I said, you kid, why don't you know how to respect your elders, how did the adults in your family teach you, where is my grandson sick, is this a scholarly anger, how rare is this, is it just like you, who is angry, shouting and killing everywhere~"
"Hello hello ......"
......
For a while, the two rivals quarreled again, but the others did not come forward to stop them at all, everyone was watching the play on the sidelines, some were talking and laughing, even Gu Lixin did not try to persuade them, sat on the side, and watched the two quarrel.
"Mom, this ......," Gu Key said with some embarrassment as he looked at the two who were arguing hotly
"It's okay, I'm used to it for a long time, just wait until I'm tired of the noise~"
"Oh~Okay~"
......
If it weren't for the fact that both of them were wrapped in the extremely heavy iron chains, which restricted the cultivation of the two of them, I am afraid that they would have already started a fight by now.
However, fortunately, the two of them had limited physical strength, and they stopped arguing for a while.
However, the crowd sitting on the sidelines didn't see enough, and complained:
"Why did you settle the battle so quickly today, doesn't it usually take days to stop?"
"Go on, Lao Gu, I haven't heard you scold yet~"
"Hmph~ I won't scold today, if it weren't for my daughter here, I wouldn't have scolded this old thing~"
"Who are you scolding old thing!?"
......
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Key felt rushed up and said:
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my father, I'm sorry~"
"Look at it, your daughter is much more sensible than you~"
"The senior said it was funny."
"Huhu~ Okay, okay, I don't have the same knowledge as him, by the way, did you just want to ask me something?" The old horse gasped
"Oh~yes, if you don't say it, I forgot~" Gu Key touched his head and said
"Say, what's the matter, you figured out that you want to marry my grandson?" The old horse said with a wicked smile
"I don't think it's necessary, I just want to ask you, are you the Ma family in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China?"
"Listen to what you mean, you have ...... Alas~ That's it, it seems that my grandson doesn't have this blessing. The old horse said with a sigh
Subsequently, Lao Ma rearranged his emotions and said:
"I am the old patriarch of the Ma family in the Northeast - Ma Tianxing!"
"That Ma Zhenshan is ......"
"That's my son, the father of this boy..... What's the matter, you know my son? β
"Hmmm......"
Subsequently, Gu Jian walked in front of Ma Tianxing, leaned in front of his ear, and told him about his acquaintance with Ma Zhenshan and his plan~
"Thank you, girl, the old man knows~ However, my son is confused this time~"
"Huh? Why did the seniors say that? Gu Jian asked puzzled
"What kind of place is this, and those so-called 'immortals' are really eating dry rice, this move is really unwise~"
"Don't worry, I believe that with my friend, it will definitely succeed, I believe him~"
"Alas~ little girl, you're still too naΓ―ve, let's plan as soon as possible~"
Saying this, Ma Tianxing turned his head and walked to the side.
It's not that he doesn't want to believe what Gu Key says, it's just that ...... The plan described in Gu Key's mouth is too dangerous, and the chance of success is less than one percent.
At this time, Canghu suddenly walked slowly from behind the transparent barrier, as if he was looking for something inside.
As he walked to the side that approached the Ancient Key, he suddenly stopped and knocked on the glass barrier.
"Knock~Knock~Knock"
Of course, the ancient key also heard the "knock" sound, and immediately turned his head.
When he saw that the person who came was Canghu, Gu Key's originally worried face instantly became relaxed.
Gu Jian wanted to go over and ask about Ling Tian and her grandfather, but at the moment when she was about to stand up, Canghu hurriedly waved her hand under her and made a gesture of refusal.
Gu Key also immediately understood, and sat down again with a slightly upright body.
Subsequently, a sentence appeared in the palm of Canghu's palm.
After Gu Jian saw it, he nodded slightly, and the big stone that was hanging in his heart before finally fell to the ground~
