Chapter 5: The Wolf's Tooth Blade
In the middle of the day, the first hunters who went out to hunt early in the morning in Qingqi Town had already returned to the valley with their rich prey. They were the first to come to the square and watch the children climb.
At this moment, only five people were still holding on to the cliff, and the others had been safely taken over.
All the children who had already reached the ground almost fell due to lack of strength and were caught by Lin Qinghu. But only three of them crossed the red line and passed the test.
Among the children who still insisted on climbing on the cliff, three of them had already crossed the red line and continued to climb up. The other two are still trying to cross the red line.
In a groove above the red line, there was a long iron spear, and Lin Qinghu was standing straight on top of the iron spear, always paying attention to the situation of the five people up and down.
The poisonous sun shone directly on the stone wall, making the temperature of the rock very high, and the clothes of the five children were soaked with sweat, and the immature skin was scorched into blisters, which was shocking!
"Ding! Ding......"
Just across the red line, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old tiger child was striking an iron drill with a hammer. As long as the iron drill can be nailed, he can use it to cross the red line and pass the test.
However, due to the severe physical exertion, his men suddenly became unstable, and the hammer failed to hit the iron drill, and next to the iron drill, it smashed obliquely on the rock wall. At this moment, not only did the hammer shake off his hand, but the iron drill also seemed to fall off.
This child's mind was already in a trance, and he was suddenly frightened, his hands and feet were a little unstable, and he was about to fall off as soon as he leaned back, but he was pulled by the rope that had been tied up a long time ago!
"Hey!"
A tall man who was shirtless and staring at the young man under the cliff couldn't help beating his chest and sighing when he saw this.
The woman next to her was teary-eyed and smiling, apparently very satisfied with the child's performance. When the woman heard the man's lamentation, her anger suddenly rose, and she slapped him on the back of the head and scolded loudly: "Oh, what! My son persevered until the last moment, and it was good! Why don't you hurry up and save your son?"
The man said "oops", and he didn't care about everyone's laughter, his hands shook, and the sword sleeve of the bracer spit out a sharp hook like a tiger claw, like a mountain leopard, quickly climbed the cliff, and untied the rope on the child's body.
Then he grabbed it with one hand, grabbed the stone wall with a hook with the other, slid down dexterously, and hurriedly hugged it to the bottom of the bell tower to enjoy the cool and treatment!
The other child under the red line was the boy who was only ten years old and had big ears, and he was in the lower left of the former, a whole position away, and he had been stuck to the stone wall for a long time.
Just when his brother and sister had just fallen, this person finally began to act, and he carefully climbed the nail left by the former, slowly took its place, and nailed the iron drill according to the traces!
"What a little fox! Ghost elf! How cunning!"
"Big ears are shameless!"
......
In the shade of the square, people couldn't help but marvel, pointing and laughing and scolding.
In front of the cliff, the young man who was staring closely at the top of the cliff, who also had a pair of big ears, was not happy to hear it, turned his head suddenly, and roared in a low voice at the audience: "You all shut up for me, if it affects my son's big event, I will not finish with you!"
Whether it is an adult or a child, hearing this person's threat, although everyone wants to laugh, they all endure it with interest and close their mouths, obviously having some scruples about this person.
The dazzling light hit the bodies of the remaining four people on the verge of collapse like substance, making everyone's hearts tug at it. In this case, even an adult man is difficult to persevere!
Finally, the big-eared kid reluctantly crossed the red line with great difficulty, smiled with satisfaction, and immediately jumped down and threw himself into Chen Da'er's arms below.
......
In this way, there are only three people left above the red line on the stone wall, and some of them are actually climbing upwards, as if trying to cross the second red line in vain!
One of the three was a girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, slender and perfect, like a sturdy leopard.
It was the first to cross the red line by nailing a specially made feathered arrow to the red line at the beginning of the leather pouch on its back, and then climbing up through a thin rope with tiger tendons chained to it.
Then, after firing three times in succession, it nailed the feather arrow above the second red line, and reluctantly continued to climb up. Because simply pulling the rope to climb up was extremely exhausting, she was already a little overdrawn, and had to step on a raised rock, stick to the stone wall to rest and breathe......
The other is the half-grown child Hou San who has a black-haired monkey to help. At this time, whether it was Hou San himself or the black-haired monkey, they had already reached their limit.
For the time being, Hou San climbed the highest, so he had a certain advantage, because there was a raised stone flute above his head, and he was not sure that he would be able to climb over it, so he fixed himself on the stone wall and waited quietly. On the one hand, he wanted to accumulate strength, and on the other hand, he fought a war of attrition with the other two.
If the other two can't hold on and falls, he will win directly, and he won't have to work hard. If someone threatens him, he will go over the stone flute and continue to compete with it.
As for the third person, it was the teenager in a white sweatshirt who was the last to start climbing. He is none other than Lin Qinghu's son Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng's bobcat claw is obviously the most suitable tool for climbing, every time he grabs and digs, he can firmly buckle the stone wall, and the rest is to climb up as much as possible!
Yes, Lin Cheng continued to climb up, the bobcat's paws opened and closed, moving up inch by inch, although the stride was very subtle, but every time it seemed to use all his strength.
Finally, Lin Cheng overtook the girl who had been resting on the convex rock for a long time, and then slowly approached Hou San. The sweat on his body seemed to have flowed, and on top of his white clothes was a circle of salt that had crystals. There was a trace of blood on the chapped lips, which made everyone look sideways!
Half an hour later, Lin Cheng reached the height of Hou San, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping to rest, but he was in a hurry, wanting to cross the high stone flute!
The black-haired monkey that was originally holding Hou San's calf had already fallen, was caught by Lin Qinghu, and sent to the bottom of the cliff. As for Hou San himself, when Lin Cheng tried to climb over the stone flute, he didn't react at all, as if he was asleep.
The girl was in third place, and of course she was not to be outdone, pulling the tiger tendon rope and continuing to climb up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted his strength, the feather arrow inserted above the second red line was pulled out, and he exclaimed in surprise and fell on his back.
Lin Qinghu paused on one foot, flew up diagonally, took it in his arms, and attached it to the cliff. A heroic woman from below the cliff climbed up and took her down.
A gust of wind blew, and Hou San, who had been silent for a long time, finally woke up. He looked at Lin Cheng, who was about to cross the stone flute, and was really taken aback, cheered up, untied the rope that bound his body, and continued to climb up. However, his hands are sore and weak, how can he support the weight of his body......
Just when Lin Cheng was about to cross the stone flute, his feet suddenly slipped, and the bobcat claws failed to hook the rock wall in time and fell down.
Lin Cheng fell, Hou San's eyes were dark, and he couldn't catch it, so he regretfully fell......
In the exclamation of everyone, Lin Qinghu stood up like a big eagle, grabbed one person with one arm, and caught Hou San and Lin Cheng, but he stepped directly on the steep stone wall and ran down......
Soon, the two children were placed in a ventilated and shaded area and fed special pills to relieve the heat and restore their strength......
The prey caught by the hunting team was quickly distributed, and each of them carried fresh meat and led their children home. Lin Cheng is the youngest, his physical strength is the most severe, and the wear and tear of his body is of course the most serious, and he can't recover for a while.
Lin Qinghu sat quietly beside Lin Cheng, smoking a dry cigarette while waiting patiently, sighing a few times from time to time, looking quite lonely.
......
After a long time, Lin Cheng groaned, finally woke up, turned his head and saw his father beside him, and hurriedly said, "Father, did I win?"
"Won! Of course I won! Of course my son is the best!" Lin Qinghu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and replied loudly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, helped Lin Cheng up, poured a bowl of herbal tea for him, and said with a low sigh: "But why do you bother? If it weren't for your mother breastfeeding you for four whole years before weaning you, making your body and bones far stronger than your peers, you will wear and tear your body too much, but you will leave a dark disease!"
"Goo-dong!
Lin Cheng drank the entire bowl of herbal tea in a few sips, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Father, you said that after I finished testing the spirit bones, you would give me the wolf tooth blade as a gift, but now you don't talk anymore!"
When Lin Qinghu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned at that time, and his heart was mixed for a while, and he couldn't help but say: "Cheng'er, the reason why you don't have a spirit bone is because of your father!"
"Back then, I was deposed by the enemy during the war, and then I took your mother back to Qingqi Town. After that, your mom and I only have you. It's because my spirit bones have been abolished, so I haven't been able to pass on the ancestral spirit bones of the Lin family to you!
Lin Qinghu is an iron-clad man, and when he said this, he couldn't help but choke slightly, which made Lin Cheng, who had never seen his father's tears, a little flustered for a while.
"The father does not need to be sad, and it doesn't matter if the child has no spirit bones now. In the eyes of children, my father is the most powerful warrior! One day, I will become a strong man like my father!"
"Alas, child, it's not me who strikes you! Although the father still has some means, he can only deal with some low-level demon tails in the demon spirit realm. If it were the existence of the Demon Pill Realm, how could I not be their opponent!" Lin Qinghu shook his head and replied with a gloomy expression.
"It's okay, grandpa said that as long as I work hard enough, hard enough, and train my body to be stronger than the snake-tailed tiger in the barren mountain, there is a great chance that I can open the entrance and grow spiritual bones! He can do it, and so can I, child!" Lin Cheng said with great certainty.
"Born with spirit bones...... How could my father tell Lin Cheng such a ridiculous thing?"
When Lin Qinghu heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and when he just wanted to say something, his throat was blocked by a pool of bitter water, and he couldn't bear to say it.
Looking at Lin Cheng's extremely confident appearance, Lin Qinghu secretly said: "Cheng'er is my son, I must not give him up because he has no spirit bones." Since that's the case, I'll use all my strength to cultivate him, and how far he can go on the path of the strong depends on his own creation!"
"Since you have such a ruthless heart, the Father absolutely supports you. Come, your prize, wolf tooth blade!" Lin Qinghu pulled the wolf tooth dagger from his waist and handed it to Lin Cheng's hand.
