Chapter 102: Tianfeng
At the foot of the mountain.
Ning Yu raised his head and looked, the peaks of ice and snow rose high, large snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, and the mountains, trees, and rivers were all covered with a thick layer of snow, turning into a world of ice sculptures and jade.
The summit is like a giant reef in the sea, and the rushing clouds are like a raging tide, rolling the waves and constantly hitting the peaks.
I heard that there is a legend in the nearby village.
"The palace at the summit of Ssangyong Mountain is the place where the gods live. ”
When he first heard others talk about it, Ning Yu still felt that the word "god" was too exaggerated, which made people feel a little incredible, but when he really came to the foot of this mountain, he looked up and saw the mysterious mountain peak covered by a hazy veil, especially the sea of clouds, he seemed to vaguely see a dragon-like figure hidden in the fog...... I even had a similar thought in my heart.
Looking around, he found more than a dozen other fragmentary figures, all of who, like him, had successfully crossed the battlefield and came to the area protected by the Mountain Protection Array of the Holy Beast Palace.
And the outermost are three powerhouses whose aura has reached the ninth stage of the foundation building period, who are guarding this small area to prevent some foundation building period in the Western Regions from entering.
It was at this time that he suddenly saw someone waving at him.
Looking along the line of sight, I saw two young figures standing under a snow-white pine and cypress. One of them was wearing a blue robe with a long sword hanging from his waist, and when he saw Ning Yu, his eyes showed a little surprise.
When Ning Yu saw him, he was also taken aback, because when he was in Tianhe City, they had just met the night before he was about to leave.
The other man was dressed in white, with an angular face and a shallow smile on his lips.
And next to these two people, there was a middle-aged man with a calm appearance, who was waving towards him, hinting at him to go over.
While Ning Yu was hesitating, the light curtain flickered twice, and two figures came in again.
Coincidentally, these two are still his acquaintances.
It was Xiao Yinger and Liang Maocai, who had a hard fight at the entrance of the fourth floor of the Soul Tower that day.
The two of them were also invited by the middle-aged man, including Ning Yu, and after exchanging glances with each other, the three of them decided to go over together to hear what he thought.
"Time was pressing, so I got straight to the point. ”
When the middle-aged man saw them coming, he didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
"A few of you, you must also know very well that the Holy Beast Palace is an extremely dangerous place, which is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den, if you want to capture Shuanglong Mountain this time, you have to control the mountain protection array, if you are alone, you are afraid that your ability is limited, and whether you can successfully climb to the top is two words. ”
He paused, then continued.
"There are already two teams of people in front of you who are going up the mountain immediately, and a few of you happen to be close in age, so I suggest that the five of you go together, so that if there is any crisis on the way, you can take care of each other. ”
"What do you think?"
After hearing this, the others lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and it didn't take long for them to almost all nod their heads in agreement.
After all, it is only now at the foot of the mountain, and if you want to cross the sea of clouds and climb to the top, you don't know how many difficulties and dangers you will have to make on the way. It would be better if someone could walk together and help each other than if they were alone.
"Then let's get to know each other. The man in white smiled slightly, and took the lead in speaking: "In Xia Yuanliang, from Jingyue Pavilion. ”
"Ning Yu, from Lingjiang City. ”
"Nanhuai Chamber of Commerce, Liang Maocai. ”
Xiao Ying'er saw that Ning Yu and Liang Maocai were two enemies who had a holiday with her, although she was a little resistant in her heart, she still echoed and spoke.
"Xiao Ying'er, Viper Valley. ”
But now that the enemy is present, personal grievances should be put aside.
At this time, the only one in the field who did not speak was the young man in blue, and everyone's eyes were looking at him.
"Tongtian Mountain, Lu Jun. He said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, except for Yuan Liang, the corners of the eyes of the rest of the people twitched slightly, although they did not show any too abnormal actions, but the shock in the eyes of several people could not be hidden.
This only lineage disciple of Tongtian Mountain was almost invincible at the sword trial meeting that day, leaving the others far behind, resulting in few people being able to see his appearance.
When I saw it today, there was a little surprise on the faces of several people, I didn't expect that the outstanding demon that day was so young, and he looked about the same age as Ning Yu, and it was estimated that he was only fifteen, sixteen, or seven, and it was not even over twenty.
After being surprised, they were also a little glad in their hearts, if such a person joined the peers, their own combat power would inevitably increase a lot.
Although Ning Yu and the others were not very good at cultivation on the surface, they were all geniuses who could be named at this sword test conference, and several of them were baby bumps in the hands of the family forces, and their real combat power should not be underestimated, even if they met some top spirit masters, they could have the power to fight.
"Without further ado, let's go. The middle-aged man spoke.
After all, their task is not only to occupy Shuanglong Mountain, but also to race against the people sent by the Western Regions, if the other party takes the lead, then even if they succeed in reaching the top in the end, it will be a failure.
......
At the foot of Shuanglong Mountain, human figures and corpses are very rare, and they are almost all white as far as the eye can see.
However, the cold wind here was biting, and from time to time there was a sharp and piercing whistling sound, which made several people shiver and hit their faces, like a knife scraping.
What's even more of a headache for them is that they can't even walk in the sky because of the special terrain here, or because of this mountain protection array!
"This is a problem......
If they can't control the sky, do they want to climb it with their bare hands?
Liang Maocai glanced up at the towering snow peak, only to feel that his scalp was numb.
Ning Yu stepped on the mountain wall, and after trying it, he showed a hint of salvation.
"It's okay, I didn't isolate the aura. ”
He took advantage of the situation and put his other foot on the same foot, like on the back of the Xuanhuo Winged Lion, using the aura on the sole of his foot to cling to the cliff, and slowly walked upward.
Seeing this, the others followed his example and walked up the mountain wall.
It's just that it didn't take long to walk, and several people were a little confused in their hearts, this mountain peak is not thousands of feet high, if they want to go like this, can they hold on to the end?
The cold wind between the cliffs was like a needle, pricking the faces and fingers of several people red.
Higher, the wind kept whining, and the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, hazy, and chaotic, blurring everyone's vision, and it was impossible to distinguish where the sky was and where the earth was.
"No, it's too cold. Xiao Ying'er said a little weakly.
Her physique was the weakest among the five, the extreme cold and the fierce cold wind almost deprived her of consciousness, and her face was bloodless from the cold, and she stopped in place for a long time and couldn't take a next step.
Not only her, but even Ning Yu, Liang Maocai, and Yuan Liang all felt breathless, and there were some ghosts and hallucinations in front of them, but the distance they actually traveled was probably not even one-tenth of the entire mountain!
If this continues, let alone climb to the top of the mountain, they will be completely lost in the wind and snow halfway through.
"Next!"
At this moment, Liang Mao took out four red objects from the storage ring, popped out his fingers, and turned into four red rays of light and ran towards the other four.
"This is ......" Ning Yu took it and looked at it, and found that this red light was actually a red pill with a red body.
"Lieyang Pill?" he remembered the record in his grandmother's book, the appearance and aura of this pill were completely consistent with the content on it, and it was obviously the top grade of the second-grade pill, Lieyang Pill!
He swallowed without saying a word, and suddenly felt an irrepressible heat rising from his lower abdomen, making his entire body turn red, and even a firelight barrier seemed to appear around him, enveloping him in it, greatly resisting the cold air from the outside world.
"There is such a good thing, why not take it out earlier. After swallowing the elixir, Xiao Ying'er's face returned to ruddy, and the aura that had been sluggish before gradually returned to normal.
Liang Maocai, who was walking in front, also took out one himself, and immediately swallowed it, but when he heard Xiao Ying'er's words, he almost stumbled and fell, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he turned around and said indignantly: "You can't be a bean when you are a second-grade pill." ”
As a top-grade pill among the second-grade pills, the value of the Lieyang Pill is definitely not expensive, ordinary people are afraid that it is difficult to have one, and I am afraid that only Liang Maocai, who is the son of the richest man in the Southern Regions, can be so wealthy, take out five in one go.
"How many more of this elixir do you have?" Xiao Ying'er continued to ask.
The corners of Liang Maocai's eyes twitched, he sighed, spread his hand and said, "No, this pill is not commonly used, and I have brought a total of five." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ying'er's heart sank slightly.
"Don't worry just yet. ”
Ning Yu said at the right time: "The effect of the Burning Sun Pill can last for about twenty-four hours. ”
At their current pace, two days, if nothing else, would be enough for them to reach the top of the mountain.
"I don't need it at the moment. ”
Lu Jun's face did not change, and with a flick of his fingers, he returned the red light to Liang Maocai.
His temperament is cold, like a cold moon, and his cultivation is also above several other people, and he has a unique means, even the wind in the mountains can't get close to him.
"You'd better keep this last one first. ”
Hearing this, Liang Maocai was not hypocritical, and put away the only remaining Burning Sun Pill in case of emergency.
After everyone recovered, they walked a little more in the wind and snow, and finally made some discoveries on the edge of the cliff.
"That's ...... Plank road?"
I saw that between the steep cliffs and mountain walls, a long plank road suddenly appeared, stretching for many miles, surrounding the snow peaks, winding up the mountains, and sinking high into the clouds.
Yuan Liang was the first to board it, and after careful inspection, he said to the other four people below: "There is no big problem, come up." ”
The road is made of wooden planks that twist and turn against the peaks of the mountains, and people walk on them with a "crunching" sound from time to time, but fortunately, the wood under their feet is strong enough that it has not rotted over the years.
"Try to stick to the mountain wall, but be careful. Yuan Liang reminded loudly.
Although the planks under their feet have not rotted, no one can guarantee that every part of the road will remain solid like this.
If you accidentally step on the air, and fall down now that you can't fly in the sky, it will really be difficult for the gods to save.
The others also understood this truth, so they didn't say anything, and they all followed behind Yuanliang, putting their hands on the cliff and moving forward cautiously.
Below, it was already a secluded abyss that was isolated by wind and snow and could not be seen at a glance, Ning Yu only glanced down, and felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, so he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, stabilized his mind, and stared straight ahead with his eyes, no longer daring to look around at will.
At the end of the plank road, there is a cave, and in front of the cave stands a huge stone tablet, and the tablet is only engraved with a simple word - heaven!
I don't know what kind of cultivation the person who carved this word is, when Ning Yu and the others look towards this stone tablet, they seem to be able to really feel that this sky is overturning towards them, and the small self is powerless to resist at all, and there is no way to dodge.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and then it was evaporated by the heat of the Burning Sun Pill.
Yuan Liang stepped forward boldly and gently touched this stone tablet, which was full of traces of wind and snow, but that character did not dare to approach easily even in nature.
"It seems that this is the Tianfeng of Shuanglong Mountain. He said.
