Fang Mo looked at the falling figure in a daze, and fell into silence, all that left in his mind was the determination and pride of the moment when Lu Baoyu broke away from his arm.

He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued his slow climb towards the top of the mountain.

Lu Baoyu's figure fell off the cliff quickly.

Just when he was about to fall to the bottom of the valley and shatter his bones, Lin Qiye, who was on the cliff, opened his mouth and muttered something softly, and a whirlwind rolled out of nothingness, supporting Lu Baoyu's figure and slowly placing it on the ground.

Lu Baoyu's physical strength had been overdrawn, and he lay weakly on the snow, looking up at the cliff with no top, and closed his eyes.

“…… I won't make the same mistake a second time. He muttered to himself.

The wind and snow were howling, and the recruits around him stepped forward one after another, trying to pull Lu Baoyu, but he just lay quietly in the snow, motionless, as if he was dead.

On the cliff, Lin Qiye, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

At the bottom of the cliff, Su Yuan and Ding Chongfeng, who were about to climb the cliff, passed by Lu Baoyu, who looked at the figure that was gradually buried by the snow, and was about to step forward to pull him up, but Su Yuan on the side stopped him.

"Leave him alone, he's concentrating on recovering his strength."

Ding Chongfeng was silent for a moment, but still sighed, walked past Lu Baoyu's side, and began to climb the cliff.

Time has passed, and so far, nearly half of the recruits have come to the bottom of the cliff and climbed up one after another.

Su Zhe bent over, holding his knees with his hands, panting and looking at the cliff towering above his head, bitterness appeared on his pale face.

"It's a damn ......"

He simply rested in place for a while, and then began to climb the mountain with the large group.

At the training camp, the instructors had already taught survival skills in extreme environments, including freehand climbing, but due to the terrain constraints, they never really practiced it.

After climbing nearly a fifth of the way in one go, Su Zhe really realized how difficult this thing was.

He stiffened between two raised rocks, the muscles in his arm began to tremble with soreness, and the thinning air forced him to breathe faster, but even so, his consciousness was blurred.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to pick himself up, and continued to climb towards the top of the cliff step by step.

At this time, there were already recruits who couldn't hold on and fell from Su Zhe's side, but only a very small number of them were like Lu Baoyu, who overdrew all their physical strength before falling off the cliff, and most of them felt that they had reached the limit and took the initiative to jump down.

Whenever they landed, a whirlwind caught their bodies steadily to avoid injury.

They lay limply on the ground, panting for breath, with a look of despair in their eyes.

Impossible......

For them, this is simply an impossible task.

Su Zhe tried his best to distract himself, not thinking about his exhaustion, gritting his teeth, and moving his stiff body little by little.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the cliff, clearly heard, echoing in the ears of every new recruit who was climbing:

"If you can't persevere, it's better to give up."

Instructor Lin?

Su Zhe was stunned, he raised his head in astonishment and looked at the top of the looming cliff.

The other recruits, whether they were climbing the mountain, preparing to climb the mountain, or who had failed to climb the mountain, looked up at the same suspicious voice, and there was nothing they didn't recognize.

"If you can't climb this mountain, it means that your strength and perseverance are not top-notch, so why are you still obsessed with joining the Night's Watch?" Lin Qiye's voice came out again, echoing leisurely in the dead valley:

"Have you ever heard about the annual mortality rate of the Great Xia Nightwatch?"

"In a year, on average, one out of every seven night watchmen will be killed in battle, and this sacrifice rate is even faster than the number of recruits in previous years, and ninety-five percent of these sacrificed night watchmen were killed in the process of clearing the 'mystery'."

"When the war begins, you recruits will have to take on the responsibility of guarding the city, are you really ready to risk your lives to protect the people in danger?"

"If you're not ready, it's too late to regret it."

"You don't need to persevere, as long as you are eliminated in this training, you can quit halfway and return to the ordinary world, away from fighting, sacrifice and endless pain, you don't need to be a night watchman standing in front of tens of thousands of people, but you can become the protected tens of thousands of people with peace of mind."

"This is your last chance to choose before you embark on the night's watchman's thorny path from which there is no turning back."

Lin Qiye's words fell, and the recruits below fell silent.

On the cliff, among the recruits who climbed to exhaustion, some began to have a look of struggle in their eyes, some still climbed up unswervingly, and some people roared in pain, closed their eyes, succumbed to the weakness of their hearts, and jumped off the cliff.

Su Zhe's fingers were tightly clasped on the bulge of the cliff, his face was extremely pale, and Lin Qiye's words echoed in his mind, and his expression struggled.

He...... Are you really ready to be a night watchman?

In the past few months of training, he has indeed changed a lot, and compared with the previous otaku Su Zhe, it is simply a world of difference.

But as Lin Qiye just said, is he really ready to sacrifice himself to protect the people in danger? Is he really ready to embark on this thorny path from which there is no turning back?

…… Not necessarily.

In the final analysis, he only came to participate in the recruit training camp because of his sister Su Yuan.

He clearly remembered that in the car accident, he and his sister Su Yuan awakened the forbidden ruins at the same time, and after that, the night watchman took the initiative to find them, and the first moment he received the solicitation, his instinctive reaction was to refuse, after all, he Su Zhe was just an invisible sister control otaku, and he didn't have such a great ambition to protect the world.

If it weren't for the fact that when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, he happened to see Su Yuan secretly packing his luggage and preparing to go to Beijing to join the night watchman, he might never have left that small county town in his life.

He had to admit that Su Yuan went to the night watchman alone, and he was not at ease.

At this moment, on the cliff of the howling wind and snow, Su Zhe re-examined his original intention, and asked his soul over and over again whether he was ready to become a night watchman.

The answer is...... He didn't.

The moment this answer emerged in Su Zhe's mind, he didn't know whether it was intentional or his body was on the verge of limit, his hands let go of the bulge of the cliff, and the whole person was like a bird with broken wings, falling from the clouds weakly.
