Chapter Twenty-Three: Ascending the Sword Peak
It's summer, the weather is scorching, and the whole earth is like a steamer, scorching everything on the surface.
The boy climbed the path of the mountain peak, sweating nonstop, and the sweat left behind dripped on the ground and instantly turned into steam.
"Whew!" Chen Siyu leaned against the rock wall, his hands on his knees, and gasped for breath.
"Siyu, are you okay?" Chen Luoqi was a little worried about his body, although he had taken the pill and his body was fine, he had not rested well, and it was inevitable that he would be a little powerless.
"It's okay! I can. Chen Siyu wiped his sweat and continued to climb up.
Chen Luoqi looked at his resolute younger brother and followed him silently, at least he couldn't hold it anymore, and he could still help him.
I don't know how long it took, Chen Siyu only felt that his chest was like a furnace, the breath he exhaled was hot, and his mouth was dry, he looked up, but he still couldn't see his head at a glance, "Damn, how high is this!" ”
He cursed in his heart and continued walking.
Although this mountain peak is dotted with verdant greenery, rare birds and beasts appear from time to time, and it seems full of vitality, but it is not attractive to Chen Siyu.
He was just desperate to find a place to drink, he was so thirsty.
He licked his mouth and tried to moisten his lips, but found that even the saliva in his mouth was slimy, and his nasal cavity seemed to have an extra layer of sticky, and his breathing was not smooth.
After walking for a long time, Chen Siyu's consciousness became a little blurred, and his feet were already walking mechanically, numb.
Finally, he staggered to the side of the path, panting for breath without any image, "thirsty and tired... I can't climb anymore. ”
"Siyu, how are you?" Chen Luoqi's voice sounded, "Why don't you climb, give your eldest brother a little time, and you will soon be able to reach the Jindan stage." ”
He lay on the ground for a while and said, "Big brother, you can protect me for a while, but you can't protect me for a lifetime, not to mention that without the protection of the sect and the resources for cultivation, how can you cultivate?" ”
He struggled to get up, "A genius who hasn't grown up, is it still a genius?" ”
"And Luo Ping'an, without the help of the sect to find medicinal herbs and pills, just rely on us? Although he is now in Quanlong City, he has someone to take care of and has no worries about food and clothing, but he can't go down to the ground for a day, and he hasn't returned to a normal life, and I can't sleep and eat every day! ”
"I'm just hating myself for not having the strength! Now that I have a chance, I'm going to take it! ”
Chen Luoqi was stunned, he didn't think that Chen Siyu would say such a thing, and he was a little moved in his heart for his persistence, his younger brother has grown up after all.
Just when he was relieved, the long-lost sword god system went out, and Chen Luoqi was stunned for a moment, about dozens of seconds later.
"Siyu, I'm going to go up first." He moved his lips and silently spat out the word system.
Chen Siyu instantly understood that there was an opportunity for the eldest brother here, and immediately replied: "Big brother, you go, I can do it." ”
Immediately, Chen Luoqi did not drag the mud and water, jumped up, and soon disappeared.
Chen Siyu felt that his strength had recovered a little, gritted his teeth, and continued to climb up.
…
…
…
"Master, what do you think of these two qualifications?" Feng Youdrunk stood on the top of the mountain peak, drinking the wine in the gourd comfortably.
"My brother is extremely qualified, and his future is limitless. His brother's qualifications are dull and unusable. A middle-aged man in a cyan robe glanced at him and said.
"There's at least one good one." Feng Youdrunk lifted the gourd and took another sip, his tone relaxed.
"You're embarrassed to say it! Without my consent, he interfered in the beast tide, caused trouble for me, and directly passed on my Sword Sect method to them, do you still have me as a master in your eyes! The man in the green robe smacked his head hard.
"Hey!" Feng You drunk covered his head and muttered, "It's not what you taught, but you want a sword heart to be clear..."
"Dare to talk back!" The man in the green robe was about to fight, but suddenly stopped, seemed to notice something, turned his head to look under the mountain peak, and looked thoughtfully.
Feng Youdrunk took a sneaky glance and found that the blue-robed man was deep in thought and cautiously slipped away.
When the man reacted, he smiled angrily, and at the same time said to himself: "This time you are lucky, you have recruited a great guy, the Sword Sect is blessed this time." ”
Then he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
…
…
…
After climbing for two or three hours, Chen Siyu finally found a shady place to sit down, "This mountain is so big, why don't you even have a pool, I'm dying of thirst." ”
As he was complaining, the sound of running water was faintly heard in his ears.
Well? Chen Siyu came to his senses for a while, and listened carefully.
"There's really water!" He hurriedly walked towards the sound of the water, walked dozens of meters, passed through a bush, the surrounding environment changed, and he actually came to a bamboo forest.
The turquoise bamboos rustle in the wind, and the oncoming wind is cool.
He walked forward curiously, and the fatigue in his body seemed to be much lighter.
"Where is this?" After walking for a few minutes, he opened the bamboo, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
I saw a waterfall appear in front of him, and the water fell straight down from a height of 100 meters, splashing countless splashes on the rocks.
In the end, it converged into a pool of clear water, bottomless.
Chen Siyu looked around vigilantly, under normal circumstances, when he went to drink water, something would definitely attack him.
He didn't dare to move, and after waiting for about ten minutes, he couldn't help it, and came to the side of the pool in three steps and two steps.
He buried his head and drank it in a big gulp.
At this time, he didn't care whether the water was clean or not, at least he couldn't drink the dead.
Gooo
The water went down to the stomach, and the whole person instantly became comfortable.
As if the heat sensation in his whole body had been removed, he gently picked up a puddle of water and washed his face.
After washing up, he felt that he was in a very good state, so he took out a few bottles of pills from the storage ring, took out the pills, threw them back, filled the medicine bottles with water, and then got up satisfied.
"Next time you come out, you must remember to bring water and food, what is the use of just filling some pills." He kicked the stone to the side and pouted.
"Alright, it's almost time to rest, it's time to continue climbing." Chen Siyu put aside the bamboo and was about to go back.
Suddenly, he jumped to the side, and the place where he had been standing was shattered by a water arrow.
"It's dangerous! Fortunately, I kept an eye on it, and in most novels, it was attacked at this time! Sure enough! ”
He turned back and looked into the middle of the pool.
I saw a golden frog the size of a fist floating on the water, looking at him with an angry face.
"Holy! Are there frogs in this place? Still golden! Chen Siyu couldn't help but exclaim.
Then after feeling the breath, I couldn't help but be silent, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Let's just say... A frog is taller than me? ”
He had felt this breath on Pei Hu's body, this inconspicuous frog was a cultivator in the Jindan period!
Chen Siyu swallowed his saliva and showed a smile that he thought was full of kindness, "Senior, I am a disciple of the Sword Sect, purely the first day I came here, I got lost, and drank the pool water of your old man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”
"Don't, don't!" Chen Siyu struggled to dodge the oncoming water arrows.
"Quack!" After hearing Chen Siyu speak, the frog seemed to be even more angry, screamed violently, and spat out several water arrows from his mouth in succession.
Boom!
One couldn't dodge, Chen Siyu was hit by a water arrow, flew into the bamboo forest, and stopped after breaking a piece of bamboo.
"Ahem, ahem!" Chen Siyu coughed violently, "Why is it not as powerful as I imagined, did I break through unconsciously?" ”
Just as he was thinking this, the frog had come to him at some point.
"Quack!"
"Senpai, I really know it's wrong!" Chen Siyu saw that the other party didn't seem to have killing intent, so he hurriedly said.
"Quack!" The frog glanced at it, as if to say that if you know it's wrong, forget it?
"I've just arrived, and I don't have anything good for you, why don't you look like this, and when I get to the top of the mountain, I'll go find some gifts to apologize to you?" Chen Siyu got up and said in a serious tone.
"Quack! Croak! The frog shook his head, dissatisfied with his answer.
"Oh, by the way, do you want this?" Chen Siyu suddenly remembered that there were a few water-attribute demon pills in the storage ring, so he took them out and handed them over.
"Quack!" When he took out the demon pill, the frog screamed happily, and with a curl of his tongue, several demon pills entered its stomach.
Grunt and squinted comfortably.
"Are you satisfied? Can I go? Chen Siyu pulled his legs and wanted to leave.
"Quack!" The frog jumped slightly, blocking his way.
"I'm really gone, I'll give it to you when I get back."
"Golden Toad, don't tease this new boy." Someone came over from the pool.
Walking closer, Chen Siyu took a look, it turned out to be an old man with gray hair, dressed in a plain shirt, although he looked old, his hands and feet were very neat, and he was in good spirits.
"Who are you?" Suddenly seeing a person appear, Chen Siyu muttered in his heart.
This can't be like a rotten novel, in fact, those monks who are hidden from some sect are here.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that it would appear at this time and still stop this frog.
No, I just heard him say it's called Golden Toad?
"The old man is just a servant of the Sword Sect, and they all call me Lao Bai." The old man explained.
Chen Siyu didn't believe it in his heart, and he had already regarded this person as an elder of the sect who was secretly investigating him.
Naturally, he said politely: "Hello Grandpa Bai, I was too thirsty just now, and I drank that pool of water, and the result was..."
"It's okay, it's just that I haven't seen anyone else for too long, it's just curious, it won't hurt you." The old man looked a little strange, and paused for a few seconds before answering.
Jin Toad glanced at Chen Siyu, "Quack! "Spit out a demon pill from his mouth.
"He means this demon pill for you." The old man said.
"Oh oh, thank you Qing... Jin Toad Senior. Chen Siyu almost said the wrong thing again, but he didn't dislike the demon pill covered with saliva, and hurriedly took it.
He vaguely felt that this demon pill seemed to echo with his body, so he took it unceremoniously.
"Golden Toad, then I'll take him up the mountain first." The old man said.
I saw that the golden toad nodded humanely, and as soon as his hind legs were forced, he jumped back into the deep pool.
