When we were fully prepared, we put together our equipment and pieces of meat, took two beads with us, and left two to bury at the base just in case, and then we set out on the journey, leaving the range of the old stick's regular activities, and the pace of our progress became very slow, but generally along the ridge to a higher place, so that we would not mistake the general direction.

Along the way, we used a little bit of lightning and glow in the distance, trying to avoid places with huge rocks and cols in case of a sudden attack, after all, we had never been here before, and every place where we could hide could be hidden by other demons.

The abominable black wind can be found everywhere, almost never stopped, but it torments us from time to time, it doesn't kill us, it exists for the sole purpose of making your flesh miserable. Fortunately, we are wearing leather armor now, and the wind can only bite the bare skin, if there is no leather armor sewn up by several layers of demon skin on the body, this torture can definitely wear down your willpower to move forward.

We encountered several attacks on the way, but the opponents were not as strong as us, and with our superior equipment, most of them were in danger, and although we were slightly injured, we quickly recovered ourselves.

At first, I thought it wasn't far, but it took quite a while to reach the edge of the seventh and eighth layers, and I can't tell you how long it was, but I think it should be nearly half a year.

He had said before that after falling from above, he had a great deal of trouble to find the cave, and I can now imagine how much he had to go through to find it all the way, and it was a miracle in itself that he could have found it so far, maybe our place was the lowest central point, otherwise it would have been impossible to find it. How desolate it must be to go back after so much hard work and be abandoned by your friends!

The seventh and eighth floors are not directly bordered, but the seventh layer floats above the eighth layer, which is tens of thousands of meters high. The entire eighth floor is actually like a pot like the seventh floor, with high edges around it and lower as you go to the middle. It turned out that when we walked to the top of the pot, we were actually walking to the outside of the pot, and when we reached the edge of the area, we could see a faint purple glow on the outside of the incomparably huge arc of the seventh layer, like an aurora.

And in the extreme distance of the horizon, a very thin gold wire hangs down from the lower part of the edge of the seventh layer and connects to one of the highest peaks on the edge of the eighth layer.

"Ah Zi, we're almost there. The old stick said to me excitedly.

"Is that thread the soul chain?" I asked excitedly.

"Yes, it is said that there are a total of six chains connected from the eighth to the seventh floor, and at the top of that mountain there is a large flat land, and that chain is linked to the top of a demon suppression tower in the middle of the flat land. We must be cautious after going up to the peak, there are a lot of demons concentrated there, and the mountain is very cold, it will rain with ice and rain, and the wind is also very strong. ”

"What is the rain of ice?"

"The black ones, like spikes, will snap and run after people. ”

"Is it that scary?"

"That's the sharp ice from the black wind. The last time I came, I had a hard time, and I felt like I had been stung by a wasp when I pricked my arm, and after pulling it out, I pinched it in my hand and it turned into a black wind for a while. ”

"Which do you think hurts more than being blown by the black wind?"

"Stupid, I don't need to ask. ”

"Oh!"

It took us a lot of time from seeing the chain, then heading towards the highest peak where the chain was, and when we reached the bottom of the mountain. The closer you get to the main peak, the more difficult it is to walk, and the boulders become denser and denser, and at the end you almost jump between the boulders.

Fortunately, it is not as dark as before, and the glow of the seven edges of the layer reflects it, and it feels like climbing a mountain on a moonlit night.

"Brother Stick, why do you have to run back, isn't it good to hide here? There are so many stones. ”

"Of course it's good to hide here, I didn't want to go back at first, but once after being killed, that guy threw my heart in a boulder crevice, and the black wind couldn't blow in at all, you know!"

"Oh, how did you come back to life?"

"I waited, waited, waited for I don't know how long, before I regained my vision, my body and head grew back, and there was no wind in this slit, but it would come in a little bit, and it grew slowly, and when my two arms grew out, I couldn't wait, and it took a lot of effort to climb out, and after crawling out, I slept and woke up in pain. ”

"It's slow under the cracks in the rocks, isn't it, and does it hurt when you grow back?"

"It's so slow, it's desperately slow. Hell, if it doesn't hurt, our physical body is actually made up of black wind, and the price of growing back into the flesh is that when the black wind comes, it will bite like an ant while drilling. ”

"You're saying they're giving them meat when they're chasing people?"

"It's not entirely true, it only grows when it's crippled or lacks flesh, and if it's not injured, it gets in and gets out. ”

"Do you still feel after you were killed and turned into a heart?"

"Yes, it's like being put in a dark sack. ”

"Oh!"

The mountain is very steep, and although there are roads, there are many places where the cliffs are very steep and need to be climbed with both hands and feet, so we have to eat to our stomachs and throw away most of the meat we carry, otherwise it is extremely inconvenient to move.

We also encountered a lot of other demons when climbing, but they didn't come to provoke us, and we didn't pay attention to them, and went our own way, in fact, everyone came here with the same goal, that is, to go to the peak, and no one wanted to go through all the trouble to come here and make a mistake after making a mistake.

Climb and climb, finally climbed halfway up the mountain, and we sat down to rest. I looked at the bottom of the seventh floor like the bottom of the wood-burning pot on my stove, but it was incomparably huge, and my father used to tear down the pot every year, and then shovel and shovel there with a spatula, and finally shovel out the black ash on the ground.

Now at the foot of the mountain, the glow from above shows the gloom of the mountains in the moonlight, and a little distance it falls into complete darkness, but in the middle of it there are stars flickering, which are lightning.

It's fucking high, I haven't climbed such a high mountain when I was a virtual human, and I can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart, but I was soon covered by the determination to get out of this hell.

"Brother Stick, do you think anyone can really get out of here?" I sighed.

"Yes, legend has it that someone escaped. ”

"Is it just a legend?"

"Well, only the strongest can escape. ”

"Aren't we hopeless?" I felt discouraged.

He was silent, and both fell silent.

After a while, I wanted to find something to break the atmosphere and said, "Didn't we come up quite smoothly today, and I didn't see the ice and rain you said." ”

"Crow's mouth! The old stick's tone was a little flustered.

"Can't you talk about it?" I thought was a little strange.

"I can't say what I'm reading here, it's very spiritual!"

"Oh, then I won't say it. "Hearing him so nervous, I remembered that when I was a child, chilblains were called winter cakes in my hometown. When I was a child, I never grew winter cakes, and a few of my friends grew winter cakes every winter, and one year I told them, "I never grow winter cakes." They gloated and said to me, "Then you will definitely grow winter cakes this year, we didn't grow them before, but they have started to grow since we said it." ”

I thought at the time, how could it be possible to really grow it just by talking about it?

But I did grow two winter cakes that winter, and after that incident, I learned that there are some things that you really can't just say.

"Let's go!" the old stick didn't want to rest anymore.

Then we continued to climb up to a cliff face when a dense rustle could be heard in the distance.

The old stick climbed on top of me, turned around and shouted, "Ice Rain!"

Nima's!

Then I saw that he began to desperately speed up and climb up!

There was nowhere to hide on this slippery cliff, so I had to climb up with all my might.

But there were still more than 100 meters above this cliff, and after we climbed a few dozen meters higher, the rustling sound was already close to my ears, and I looked back in fear to see a large area of shiny black clouds in front of me.

"Hold on! Hold on! Don't fall!!" shouted the old stick.

I quickly inserted one hand into a small rock crevice next to me, grasped the protruding stone with one hand, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth.

"Ah~!!!!" The two of them screamed in pain.

I felt the stings of countless wasps on my arms, neck, and legs at the same time, and if I were to describe the pain, I could imagine a person falling into hot lava, and it was extremely hot and painful.

Fortunately, it came and went quickly, and after a few seconds the rustling sound was inaudible, but the pain was still there, only slowly relieved, and after a while I was finally able to open my eyes, and I found that my arm was full of black and shiny pins.

There was a moaning sound from above, and it was estimated that he was also miserable, but fortunately he didn't fall off.

After a while, finally my neck was able to move, and the needles on my arm began to slowly shorten and dissipate.

"Brother Stick, how are you. I shouted to him weakly.

"Idiot, you killed me. He also asked me weakly.

Eventually, the ice needles dissipated, and I tried to move, but my hands couldn't move, as if they were petrified.

Relax, relax, I signaled to myself, and it was a few more moments before I let go of my grip on the raised rock, but my muscles were still incapacitated.

"Can you move?" asked the old stick above.

"Kinetic energy is moving, that is, the hands have to shake, and they can't make up their strength. I replied to him.

"Then I'll wait for you at the top first, you be careful, and then climb when you have the strength. After he finished speaking, he began to climb up slowly.

After I slowly recovered and climbed this section, the old stick sat on a stone and ate the pieces of meat.

"Isn't it cool?" he asked me with a smile.

"It's cool!" I replied.

"Hahaha! come and get something to eat!" he laughed haughtily.

I feel like I'm kind of liking this guy.

After eating the meat and resting for a while, we continued to ascend, climb and climb, and finally climbed to the last cliff near the top, which was a cliff of more than 90 degrees, and I only saw on TV that mountaineers could climb such places, and the top protruding place was 120 degrees.

Looking at this cliff, I felt that I must not be able to do it, and I was terrified just by looking at it.

There were already three demons on it who had climbed to the top of the edge, and the old stick said to me, "I'll go up first, and you have to watch how I do it, and when it's time to jump the rock at the end, you have to kick it hard with both feet, and then when you release your hands, you have to stretch out until your hands touch the edge of the rock on top and grab it hard." ”

"I can't do it. I looked at the rattle and shook my head.

"It's not that hard, just remember not to push too far. ”

At this time, a demon had already reached the bulge, and after a moment of preparation, he kicked with his right foot, and with both hands he grasped the higher rock wall, and then with both hands he successfully climbed up, looking extremely skilled and easy.

"Don't forget, you are now in the body of a demon, and your strength and agility are not comparable to humans. ”

"Oh!" he was right, my current strength is more than the combined strength of ten people

"Come on. Then he started to climb up, and I followed.

When we climbed to the top, the three demons on it had already gone up, and none of them had fallen, which didn't seem to be very difficult, which gave me a little more confidence.

Then he climbed into place, pressed his body against the rock wall and kicked his feet upward, and his hand grabbed the top wall rock, and then climbed up with great ease, and then his head was out and beckoned to me, "Come on!"

I nervously climbed to the position where I was ready to jump, and mentally thought, "Push up with both feet, stretch your hands straight and grab to the edge of the wall." ”

"Don't be afraid, keep your eyes on the edge of the wall. He admonished from above.

Then I mustered up the courage to look up and keep my eyes on the edge of the wall above, and I kicked my feet hard, and then my hand was released and straightened, and the man flew, and then I saw that my hand had gone over the edge of the wall, and then I began to fall.

I forgot to grab it with my hand! By the time I remembered, it was too late.

"It's over, it's over, I'm going to fall to my death. My heart pounded.

It was too late, but it was too late, and I saw a hand suddenly reach out and grab me by the wrist, and then I saw the old stick half-kneeling on the ground and pulled me up.

When he pulled me up, I was too scared to speak, and he got up and walked forward without saying a word, and I followed him like a chicken.

After going up this rock wall, there is a narrow valley in front, and it is a downhill road after the valley, and there is a square flat land in front of it, which is very large, and there is a tower in the middle, and the top of the tower is connected to the golden soul chain, and above the chain, there are three demons climbing up in the distance, and there are countless black pressure flea-like things concentrated near the tower.

"Brother Stick, what are those?" I felt horrified.

"It's all mentally retarded. He said coldly.

When we had descended to the ground, he took out his stone hammer and told me to take out his machete, and gave me a bead to hold in his mouth when I would climb the chains.

As we approached the tower, the flea-like creatures spotted us and pounced on us so frightening that my hairs stood on end.

When they got closer, I realized that they were all scrawny, very short demons, and some of them were not full of demons, but they were all very ferocious and hungry, as if they were going to pounce on us and eat our flesh and drink our blood.

When they got closer, the stick picked up his stone hammer and swung it at the demons, and the stone hammer smashed into the demons as if he were smashing tomatoes, and his thin limbs flew in all directions. And the evil spirits that rushed at me were also cut in two by me with my sword.

We slowly moved towards the Demon Tower, swept all the way, killed and smashed countless evil spirits, and soon arrived at the edge of the tower, and climbed the tower, those evil spirits also tried to catch up, and the nearest evil ghost had ragged hair, a pair of bulging white eyes, a hideous face, but the arms were as dry as firewood sticks. The old stick stomped on its head and trampled it into mud.

At this time, I noticed that the unkilled demons in the vicinity were frantically scrambling to devour the dead demon stumps.

"These people originally wanted to gather here to block the road and rob and kill people, but there are also people who died here but refused to return to the following, and after grabbing the beads, they killed each other, and when they were hungry, they also killed and devoured each other, and in the end they all became what they are now. ”

"Why don't they go down there and get stronger?"

"Because I have a bad brain and lack vision. The old stick pointed to his head.

Oh, it's terrible, looking at these beating demons reminds me of those people with paranoid personalities and low IQs, who take revenge on society because their lives are not satisfactory, but they reach out to kindergarten and elementary school students, and those cowards who set fire to innocents on buses, and after falling into this terrible hell, with their qualifications and abilities, the miserable end can be imagined.

There is a wrong, there is a debtor, there is revenge, there is a grievance can be revenged, there is a grievance can be revenged, but we must not find the wrong object of revenge and kill innocent people indiscriminately! Later, I learned that except for a very small number of people who have fallen into this hell, they have killed their fathers, mothers, and teachers, and almost all of the rest have come in because they have killed innocents indiscriminately.
