After climbing for about a kilometer, Tao Xiaozhi couldn't stand it anymore, and almost fell down, if it weren't for Gu Xuan's old boy. So, he had to hurry up and take out the rope he had prepared, and with great difficulty he circled the tower and tied himself to it, sticking there like mud and gasping for air. In the process, his clothes were wet and dry and wet, the strips of cloth tied to his hands were worn out, and his hands were blistered and then bloody, and on his back was a bear meat heavier than his own, like a demon of hell pulling him ...... In this process, he didn't know how many times he wanted to let go, but as soon as he let go, he reached another world, and there was a way back to his world, so he wouldn't let go, because his heart and soul were already deeply rooted in such a belief: I must go back!
But this was only a quarter of the way, and this belief had already brought him close to death, and what should he do on the more difficult road ahead! Then he began to ask again and again what was the use of the stinky meat behind him, why he couldn't change the two of them on his back, and so on. And for the first time he was told that the meat was of its own use, and that they weren't because they weren't the ones who wanted to ask the prophet questions. Then, the two old men left Tao Xiaozhi and began to climb up easily, and soon left him last. What else can Tao Xiaozhi do, although it is only a quarter, but it can't be in vain. Climb, crawl, even if you are physically injured, you can still let the fire demon come out to repair and repair it in the future, isn't it okay to comfort yourself like this......
However, after climbing another fifty meters, Tao Xiaozhi could no longer see the stone lamp of the two elders, and he had been left far under his feet...... Don't behave so vividly if you don't have a heart or lungs...... If something goes wrong with me again, I'm afraid ...... Oh my God, who made him meet such a master, and there is more than one! After climbing to 1,500 meters, Tao Xiaozhi couldn't hold on any longer, and he had already collapsed, so he tied himself tightly and fell asleep.
The icy water droplets rolling down the tower in the morning, the cold wind, and the dazzling blazing sunlight behind Tao Xiaozhi pulled Tao Xiaozhi back from his sleep to the sore reality, what a beautiful and terrible morning—the beautiful scenery and the stiff and sore body made this feeling reach an unprecedented double heaven of ice and fire! There was also the meat that was already a little smelly behind it, which obviously changed from the laziness of the previous morning to the current pressure of Wuzhishan! He angrily threw away more than ten catties of meat—no one would find out anyway-- Then, after eating the dry food he had brought with him and the leftover roast from last night (fortunately he had killed a deer last night), he continued to move forward.
After climbing about 500 meters, Tao Xiaozhi finally found that the two elders were still sleeping soundly! For them, it shouldn't take much time to climb here, and it was obvious that they had already slept soundly after arriving here! It would be great if Tao Xiaozhi had a suona in his hand, let them also enjoy the taste of waking up in their dreams! But no, he didn't even have the strength to shout (because it was a waste of money), so he pushed them awake.
"It's not bad~~" Gu Xuan Lao Tong laughed sarcastically, "It's a little earlier than I expected." ”
The old man of Purple Mountain said: "But his face looks even older than ours......"
Gu Xuan Lao Tong smiled: "It's not bad if you don't die, you can't ask too much......"
Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly, and then asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"That's right—" Gu Xuan Lao Tong suddenly remembered something, "I haven't yet!"
"It can't be true, I'm below you......" Tao Xiaozhi really couldn't tell whether it was a joke or serious.
But Gu Xuan didn't, but the old monster of Purple Mountain put a heavy stinky fart, and Tao Xiaozhi almost fainted......
"I'm sorry, but did I eat anything last night...... Maybe it's because I didn't......"
Tao Xiaozhi could only move his position, go around in a half circle, and let them do whatever they wanted!
Okay, let's get on with the road. Before hitting the road, Gu Xuan told him that the first half of the journey was mainly a test of physical strength, and that there would be more "exciting" difficulties waiting for them in the second half. Of course, Tao Xiaozhi wouldn't ask, because he knew that the other party wouldn't answer.
Sure enough, it was less than 300 meters to climb and the wind was fierce, and the temperature began to drop gradually, and these winds were tornadoes, circling around the giant tower, and the higher they went, the more they rolled up like a trumpet, if they didn't hold on to the bricks on the tower, it was easy to be blown up, and they didn't know where they would be swept up. Because of these winds, their progress was slowed down to a certain extent, but at least the burden on Tao Xiaozhi's back was reduced a lot.
As they climbed further, the wind had turned into a blizzard, and the walls of the tower were covered with layers of blood, which were quite slippery, and this is when the small daggers they carried on them came into play (these daggers were used to kill prey). These blood came in all colors, and when I counted them, it was exactly nine colors, obviously rolled up from the sky of the Nine Great Snow Regions. This is the magic of the Extreme Heart Sky Tower, but it is also the difficulty of climbing, because the higher you climb, the more the wind and the snow becomes, turning all three of them into snowmen. Of course, Tao Xiaozhi can spontaneously combust, of course the old monster of the Purple Mountain has the roar of purple qi, and Gu Xuan Lao Tong also has the intention of flowing gong, but these three people have not chosen to use it, because they have already consumed a lot of physical strength, internal force, and so on, and they may consume more below. In this case, the rope they brought would have played a considerable role, or Tao Xiaozhi or even the two elders would have fallen down several times.
Is this the main difficulty and challenge mentioned by the two elders? Then we must move on. After the night, they were quite tired, and it was estimated that they had climbed more than a thousand meters during the day, so they decided to rest and have dinner, but what should they do when they went to sleep? It was so cold, and there was a blizzard, and the walls of the tower were covered with many layers of thick snow, which was quite slippery, and in this case sleeping seemed to be almost like climbing to the sky. However, they no longer have the stamina to move on. They tied each other together with ropes and tied them tightly. The old monster of the Purple Mountain also burned his crutches, which could more or less make them feel a little warmth in their sleep.
In this way, it took Tao Xiaozhi an hour to barely fall asleep with his tired body. After sleeping for less than two hours, Tao Xiaozhi was woken up again and continued on the road. After a day and night (of course, they stopped to eat, drink, Lazar, etc.), and finally reached the top of the tower. Of course, there were many dangerous moments, but they managed not to let themselves fall into the air of death.
But Tao Xiaozhi didn't expect that this was already the apex - he thought that the top should be a residence or something, but the apex was the apex, just a platform, as big as this tower, nothing. The surrounding is a trumpet-shaped tornado, the wind is very strong, and it takes a lot of concentration to stand up, fortunately, the flesh on Tao Xiaozhi's back is heavy enough, but the smell it emits has made him quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, although the scenery above is blocked by the wind and snow, the scene of the wind bringing all kinds of snowflakes flying from the sky is quite breathtaking.
The most important question is: Where is the prophet? Of course, Tao Xiaozhi would not ask such a stupid question, because he knew that the two elders should know how to do it. And what is Gu Xuan Lao Tong doing, he is learning how to bark a dog, and he barks very loudly! Is he idle and has nothing to do!
Soon, his barking was answered, and it was also a doggy. Then, one side of the tornado broke like a piece of paper, and the inside was pitch black, and out of it came a red-haired dog. In addition to the bright color of the coat, the dog has other obvious characteristics: thin and long, with exceptionally long and pointed ears, paws and teeth, and eyes that are all green, emitting a blinding green light, as if the slightest glance at it will blind or tear it apart. Obviously, the fake scream just now made it quite angry, and at this moment, it stared at Gu Xuan Lao Tong fiercely, roaring and grinning in a low voice, eager to pounce over and tear the latter to pieces!
"yes, it's just a watchdog. Gu Xuan Lao Tong smiled at Tao Xiaozhi and said, "Now, pour out the meat on your back, or it will definitely eat us all." ”
Tao Xiaozhi just put down the backpack and before he could pour it out, the red dog had already pounced. Although the meat didn't smell very pleasant, it was clearly quite pleasant, probably not having eaten meat in a long time (probably too much from a blizzard). Soon, such a large amount of stinky meat was quickly eaten by it, and then it stared directly at Tao Xiaozhi, and after getting a helpless shrug, its gaze returned to its previous viciousness - it obviously hadn't eaten enough! Tao Xiaozhi began to regret the meat he threw away......
The red dog barked frantically, and rushed over frantically, but was interrupted by Gu Xuan's screaming, and turned to glare at the latter and ask the other party to give an explanation! Gu Xuan Laotong untied a bag on his back, this bag was about half the size of Tao Xiaozhi's back, bulging, and exuding a slight smell of meat from the cloth holes...... Don't...... The question is when did he carry this bag, Tao Xiaozhi remembered that he didn't have a backpack from the beginning! Later, he learned that it was when he climbed to more than 1,500 meters, that is, when he decided to "reduce the burden," that Gu Xuan Lao Tong slipped under the tower and then killed a little bear and then climbed to a place of more than 2,000 meters to wait for him! Obviously, Gu Xuan Lao Tong knew about the good things he had done, but he didn't know how he knew about it. Of course, punishment is indispensable after that, but the old man doesn't think about it for the time being.
After the red dog was full, he let out a loud roar towards the storm side, and the power was not much worse than the purple roar of the old monster of the Purple Mountain, and he actually opened a passage on this side, which was also a storm channel, and he didn't know where it was going - it should be the prophet's lair.
Akaiu jumped in and disappeared.
Okay, let's jump too. Needless to say, because the hole is shrinking, no one wants to miss the only "car".
