There were no twists and turns in their journey up the mountain.

I saw Tianshan Tong's grandmother put her white and tender fingers into her mouth and whistled loudly.

Soon, several eagle vultures flew from the Ethereal Peak, circling over the heads of the three of them.

Then, someone on the Ethereal Peak immediately discovered the matter, and then a team of women in colorful clothes came down to the peak.

When he saw Tianshan Tong's grandmother, he immediately bowed down in unison and pleaded guilty, and said: "Lord, the subordinate guards are late, and the sin deserves death." ”

Tianshan Tong's grandmother snorted and said sharply: "Are you you when I die?" Haven't you noticed I'm not there for so long? ”

All the women bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, not daring to refute.

In fact, this is also because in order to confuse Li Qiushui, Tianshan Tong's grandmother deliberately released a rumor that she had gone down the mountain to collect medicine. Unexpectedly, this delayed her own rescue by mistake.

Therefore, they are not to blame.

However, Tianshan Tong's grandmother was taken captive down the mountain this time, and she did suffer a lot of sins and suffered a lot. couldn't get angry at Zhao Mingyuan and them, so he could only vent his anger on them.

However, after all, they were all her subordinates, and Grandma Tong reprimanded them a few words, looking at their disgraced faces and unwilling to resist. Grandma Tong herself felt bored, so she said, "Okay, let's go up the mountain!" ”

After a pause, Grandma Tong pointed to Zhao Mingyuan and his wife and said, "The two of them are honored guests of the Vulture Palace, so they are good at hospitality, don't be lazy." ”

Immediately, a middle-aged woman turned around and squatted down in front of Grandma Tong, and walked steadily towards the mountain with Grandma Tong on her back, guarded by people on the left and right, as if guarding a treasure.

Zhao Mingyuan secretly said in his heart, what a big man. But think about it, in the past few decades, what Tianshan Tong's grandmother said in this area of the Western Regions is only more effective than the emperor, and it is common to have such a scene.

Zhao Mingyuan and his wife were really treated as distinguished guests, and while going up the mountain, there were people to guide and introduce them.

It turned out that there were eighteen natural hazards on the Ethereal Peak. From the foot of the mountain upwards are the Broken Soul Cliff, the Lost Foot Rock, the Baizhang Stream, the Connecting Sky Bridge, etc., all of which are very dangerous places.

The Vulture Palace is divided into nine heavens and nine departments, each performing its own duties, and all natural dangers are guarded. To attack the Ethereal Peak, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

However, Zhao Mingyuan knew that these dangerous places were only for ordinary people. For the masters of the rivers and lakes, although it is also dangerous, it is not so dangerous.

Otherwise, how could those people from the 36 caves and the 72 islands be able to attack it?

Now, they must have seen the scene of Zhao Mingyuan and the three of them being greeted up the mountain by the women of the Vulture Palace. I must have guessed that this girl's identity is extraordinary.

may not have guessed that it was Tianshan Tong's grandmother, but he already knew that they were exposed. In addition, as long as Zhao Mingyuan didn't go down the mountain to deliver the news to them for a while, they would presumably have to attack the Ethereal Peak.

After all, now that they are working together, they still have a certain chance of winning while Tianshan Tong Grandma may not be in the Ethereal Peak.

Otherwise, they don't really have a choice.

Even if he escaped to Tiannan and Haibei and escaped the pursuit and revenge of the Vulture Palace, the life and death talisman on his body will always have an attack one day, and then life is better than death, so it is better to fight now.

And that's exactly what happened.

Three days later, Zhao Mingyuan and Wang Yuyan were enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds at the top of the ethereal peak, but they heard an alarm from below, it was the people from the 36th cave and the 72nd island who came to attack the mountain.

The two of them immediately came to meet Tianshan Tong's grandmother to see if they needed help.

Since they are distinguished guests and come here to escort, the two of them naturally live not far from Tianshan Tong's grandmother, and they arrived in a few steps.

Entering the hall, I saw that Tianshan Tong's grandmother had grown up a little more, and she was already in her teens. The leaders of the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions of the Vulture Palace were standing under the hall and listening to Grandma Tong's arrangement.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally has also learned the art of war, and listening to Grandma Tong's arrangement, it is just a matter of defending the danger and resisting layer by layer, which can be regarded as a cliché, nothing surprising.

However, the art of war, sometimes as long as it is effective, it does not necessarily have to be a surprise victory.

After all, strange means dangerous, risky.

In many cases, when you have the advantage, following the rules and not making mistakes is a victory.

Zhao Mingyuan said that he wanted to see how to fight and was willing to help. Tianshan Tong's grandmother saw that there was a helper, so she was naturally even more happy, so she let him go.

Zhao Mingyuan followed the team of Juntianbu arranged by Grandma Tong and came to the first natural danger of the Ethereal Peak.

As for Wang Yuyan, Zhao Mingyuan naturally found an excuse to leave her on the mountain. You don't have to let her get involved in the fights.

The first natural danger that must be passed up the mountain is called Broken Soul Cliff.

As the name suggests, you can understand that this is an extremely dangerous mountain cliff.

In fact, it's a nearly 90-degree cliff that has been carved out of steps that barely fit people to climb. The steps are also very narrow, and only half a foot can be placed.

There are cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. Even if the people in the Vulture Palace go up and down, they still need to be assisted by a rope on one side.

But now, since someone is attacking, this rope has naturally been cut and unloaded.

There is no backing, only a steep stone staircase that can only be passed by one person, and a slope of nearly 90 degrees. On the side is a bottomless cliff, and the clouds are deep and foggy, which makes people daunting.

The difficulty of climbing up from this can be imagined, and it can really break people's souls!

Fortunately, this is a martial arts world, and for those who have cultivated enough, it is not so difficult to climb on. As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, you can do it.

It's just that under normal circumstances, but now it's from the bottom up, and the difficulties are several times more difficult.

Zhao Mingyuan also saw an offensive and defensive battle with martial arts characteristics.

There are also a lot of people in the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, and many of these cave masters and island owners come with their subordinates or disciples. The total number of people is not thousands, but there are also seven or eight hundred.

However, the mountain road is narrow, and these seven or eight hundred people have a long procession, which looks quite spectacular.

It's just that the spectacle is spectacular. The ones who can really play a role in attacking the mountain are only the 100 people in front.

These cave owners and island owners naturally will not rush ahead. This is the first natural danger, and those who rush up are all their disciples, who rush forward as cannon fodder.

Although there are only dozens of people in the Juntian Division, there is a well-hewn platform on this Broken Soul Cliff, which is condescending, but it is taking advantage of it. Therefore, to deal with their attack under the mountain, it is natural to have an advantage.

However, these cave owners and island owners also often fought hard, and soon came up with a solution. found a few people with deep internal strength, and rushed upwards with a big shield.

For a while, the women of the Juntian Department naturally used all kinds of hidden weapons to deal with them.

But the shield was so great that it covered all the people tightly, and not a single trace of it was exposed. Even though the hidden weapon fell like rain, no one was injured.

Even if the women smashed down with rocks, it was ineffective.

After all, everyone who rushed in front had a good internal force cultivation in their bodies, and another person was wearing a big shield, so it was no big deal.

Occasionally, an unlucky guy was smashed down, but he fell into the abyss next to him. The screams were incessant, echoing through the mountains, and it was terrifying to hear.

However, more people have enough internal strength, and they let all kinds of things from above smash them, and they all use their shields to resist them.

They all have cultivation in their bodies, and they naturally climb very fast. This section of Broken Soul Cliff is only more than 100 meters, and I see them getting closer and closer.

Zhao Mingyuan thought that he needed to make his own move.

Unexpectedly, several women soon lifted a large stone in unison.

This stone weighed more than 1,000 catties, and several people worked together to lift it. Then, slam down on a row of large shields below.

Thousands of pounds of boulders rely on the power of falling, and naturally no one can stop them.

If Zhao Mingyuan is below, he may try to use the technique of turning the stars and shifting the stars, or the great shift of Qiankun, and try to shift it in the direction.

However, if you can't see it with a big shield, I'm afraid that you will be smashed into meat sauce.

Zhao Mingyuan is still like this, not to mention the following people who don't know anything?

I only heard the sound of collision and breaking, and there was not even a scream, and everyone on the steps was smashed down by the boulder, and the boulder rolled down the stairs until it fell to a spacious place a hundred meters later, and then fell under the cliff.

And the stairs of more than 100 meters are covered with flesh and blood fragments, which makes people see the color change.

It's cruel!

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but be glad that he didn't let Wang Yuyan come down to watch.

I can be regarded as well-informed, and I feel cruel when I see this scene, and I really don't know how terrifying the real battlefield is.

No wonder I often hear that recruits are scared silly when they go to the battlefield, and Zhao Mingyuan can understand it when he really sees such a scene.

The people below were also stunned for a long time, and it could be seen from above that many of their leaders were discussing countermeasures.

Obviously, they also know that it will not be easy to attack on this.

After some time, several more people climbed up with large shields. It's just that those who are trembling are extremely slow.

Especially when they passed by those flesh and blood, they stopped several times. If it weren't for the constant urging and threat of the people below, I am afraid that they may not come up.

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, these people were probably forced to come up. If you don't come up, you'll die, and if you come up, you'll probably die a little later.

Naturally, the result did not change, and seeing that other means were not effective, they could not stop their progress.

After a while, another boulder fell, adding another patch of red to the top of the staircase.

But this time, it didn't take long for a few more people to be forced to climb up.

Zhao Mingyuan gradually came back to his senses. It turns out that they are using human lives to consume the boulders on the mountain.

Yes, they had apparently discovered that these boulders had been excavated in advance, and that the guards might not be very rich in materials, as long as they were consumed, they could attack them.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan found that there were indeed not many boulders nearby.

Moreover, it is extremely inconvenient to transport it from other places, and it is naturally too late to dig it temporarily.

It seems that they can win as long as they exhaust the boulders above.

But is that really the case, and will it really be what they want?
