This kind of running was the most physically demanding, and soon after Ji Ruo began to pant, and after running for a while, the little girl finally cried:

"Brother Chang, I can't run. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Don't speak, just breathe. Watch your step, don't fall and fight, and don't think about anything else!"

Huang Chang said sharply, Ji Ruo had no strength at this time, so she could only barely move her legs across the steps, and her upward strength was almost entirely dependent on Huang Chang pulling her away. stumbled and fell several times, but each time he was pulled up by Huang Chang and dragged forward.

You must know that Huang Chang himself is actually just an eleven-year-old child's body, but he has been exercising every day for four years, and his physical strength is better than that of children of the same age, but to say that he has been dragging another seven or eight-year-old child to climb the mountain, or at a speed close to trotting, this is really beyond his ability.

After running like this for a while, Huang Chang began to feel stuffy in his chest, his legs and feet became more and more sore, and his spirit began to be in a trance, he knew that his fatigue limit was about to be reached. I've pushed this limit many times over the past four years. At the earliest, as long as you walk more than ten miles, you will appear, but as long as you grit your teeth and break through, you can increase the distance you can hold on to a large section until you meet the next limit, break through again, and then break through again, and continue to break through...... After breaking through the fatigue pole again and again, Huang Chang can now climb a high mountain, and basically no longer encounters the limit state.

But here, he finally reached his physical limits again. Huang Chang has broken through this limit many times before, but the experience of failure is more than ten times more, this time, can he still succeed?

Huang Chang didn't think about this problem at all, he knew that the more cranky he was at this time, the easier it was to collapse, so he just moved his legs forward wholeheartedly, treating his body as a machine, and trying to squeeze out the last bit of his potential.

But Ji Ruo collapsed first, and ran for a while, the girl gasped for breath, and began to retch, her face was pale as if she was going to die.

"Brother Achang, I really don't have the strength, if you can't go up...... Leave me alone, neither of us will be able to catch up with it. ”

"Don't be cranky, Ruoruo. If you really want to, just think about your mother's dying wishes!"

Huang Chang fed Ji Ruo the last bit of water in the water bag to drink, and dropped the water bag and dragged her to continue climbing. Ji Ruo sobbed and cried as she struggled to move upwards - for a little girl who had been pampered since childhood, this was too much hardship.

"Would you like to rest for a while? ”

"No, Ruoruo, you must not stop at this time, once you stop, you really can't walk anymore!"

Huang Chang hardened his heart and ignored Ji Ruo's crying, just dragged her up. At first, he just regarded Ji Ruo's appearance as a test for him by this golden bridge, and pulled this little girl with the idea of "if you can help, if you can't help pull it down". But after walking together for so long and learning about Ji Ruo's life experience, Huang Chang has taken it as his responsibility to help her, and he has even secretly decided in his heart: If we can worship the immortal mountain together this time, of course, it is the best, even if it fails, it can only be that the two of them will be eliminated together, and after returning to the mortal world, he will continue to find ways to help Ji Ruo.

After making up his mind, or being mentally prepared to be eliminated, Huang Chang felt a little more relaxed, of course, his physical fatigue was still the same, but the burden in his heart was put down. He felt as if he had truly become a machine, without sorrow or joy, dragging Ruoruo forward step by step until he reached his goal or fell.

............

I don't know how long I persevered, but the front suddenly opened up. The continuous staircase path finally disappeared, and the cliff was in front of you. Looking under the cliff, there is a vast sea of clouds, bottomless.

Fortunately, the road under his feet did not stop there, but passed through a bridge made of countless thick vines twisted and tangled to the opposite side, another tall and majestic mountain. The bottom of the huge mountain was completely submerged in the white clouds, and it was impossible to see the top at all. The location connected to the rattan bridge is about halfway up the mountain, and it is a very wide platform.

At this time, there were many people on the platform, sitting or standing or lying, there were already many people waiting, seeing Huang Chang and Ji Ruo appearing, they waved their hands one after another, and a few even jumped up and shouted:

"Huang Chang, hurry up! Cross the bridge and go to the fairy mountain!"

"Ah Mao...... Daniel...... Wang Shao!"

Huang Chang identified several of them, all of whom were companions who were fellow disciples of the mountain worship with him, and they had a good relationship with each other. His heart was suddenly overjoyed - this should no longer be an illusion, if Jin Qiao really conjured up the scene of these people to deceive him, then he could only admit it, and he really didn't have the physical strength to consume it anymore.

"Ruoruo, we have arrived, we have finally arrived!

Huang Chang was ecstatic and pulled Ji Ruo towards the opposite side, but he had just stepped on the rattan bridge, and suddenly let out a miserable scream and quickly retracted his feet.

-- A thick thorn was pierced into the soles of his feet, Huang Chang took a closer look, and then he was shocked to realize that the entire rattan bridge was full of thorns and giant thorns, each of which was the thickness of a little finger, a few inches long, and one by one outward, just looking at it made people feel creepy.

Huang Chang's thick-soled shoes could have coped with some ordinary thorns and shrubs, but there was nothing he could do about such a thick giant thorn - no one would walk this kind of road under normal circumstances, so he definitely chose to avoid it. And in front of me, this is the only bridge of fate that leads to the opposite side!

"Hold on! Brother, this is the last test, no matter how painful it is, we have to endure it! After coming, the immortal master will use the immortal method to help us recover!"

On the edge of the platform opposite, Wu Daniu, who had the best relationship with Huang Chang among the companions, shouted loudly, and Huang Chang did see the female fairy master surnamed Chen on the opposite side, looking at them with a smile. It seems to be to see what they will choose.

"Holy shit, there's still this hand waiting for us!"

Huang Chang secretly scolded Jin Qiaojun for being really ruthless, and he still played such a play at the end. But he also knew in his heart that the test of this level was inevitable - he had experienced cold, terror, exhaustion, deception, and other tests along the way, but he did not seem to have tasted the pain—the real pain and suffering. And the road of cultivating immortals, hardships and hardships are indispensable, so this last level must be to test the response of mountain worshippers in the face of pain, whether to face difficulties or to retreat in fear?

Huang Chang didn't hesitate at all - he took out Ji Ruo's iron-soled shoes from his backpack.

"Ruoruo, it seems that your father really loves you and has prepared this thing for you. ”

Ji Ruo sighed:

"But there is only one pair of shoes...... Brother Chang, you can use it. ”

"Of course I use it, but don't worry, I'm not going to leave you alone. ”

Huang Chang quickly took off his hemp shoes, and instead put the iron shoes on his feet, compared to Ji Ruo's foot shape, he must be too small to wear these shoes, but Huang Chang didn't care, only firmly tied the shoes to his feet with straps. Anyway, as long as the main parts such as the soles of the feet and heels can still be used, there is no big problem with some injuries around the periphery.

After putting on his shoes, he bent down and carried Ji Ruo on his back, fearing that the little girl would miss and fall, so he tied a few pieces with cloth straps to firmly fix the little girl's body on his back. Finally, he hung Ji Ruo's satchel with a big doll around his neck, tore off his clothes and wrapped his palms densely in layers for more than a dozen circles, and Huang Chang walked confidently towards the Thorn Vine Bridge.

"Where's the bag?"

Ji Ruo pointed to his own backpack that was left on the side of the road and shouted, Huang Chang laughed:

"Just give it to Jin Qiaojun, you don't need it anyway. ”

Huang Chang carefully maintained his balance on the vine bridge, and from time to time he had to grasp a hanging branch with his hand, even though the branches were also full of thorns.

In just a few moments, his hands and feet were covered with blood and stab wounds, but he finally relied on iron-soled shoes to protect key parts such as the soles of his feet, and his walking was not too affected. Since this thorny vine bridge is used to test the ability of mountain worshippers to bear pain, of course, it is impossible to make it too long, and after walking about 100 steps, I finally stepped on the thorn vine bridge and successfully reached the other side.

In the midst of cheers, Huang Chang and Ji Ruo were supported by several kind partners and brought to Immortal Master Chen to ask for treatment, but the latter looked him up and down a few times, pursed his lips and smiled:

"Although I send the mountain gate to open every five years, and there are many wizards and monsters popping up every time, it's really rare to see someone as well prepared as you. Jinqiao's heart test is a test of mind and perseverance, but for a guy like you who cheats with iron shoes...... I don't think I need any treatment at all. ”

Facing the ridicule of an immortal master, Huang Chang just smirked. Even with the soul of an adult in his thirties in his two lifetimes combined, at this moment, all that was left was ecstasy, relief, and full of joy.

And Immortal Master Chen was obviously used to seeing this kind of stupidity after success, and he didn't expect him to respond to anything, so he immediately smiled and said:

"However, for the sake of you bringing us such a beautiful and cute little sister, we will be lenient......"

As he spoke, Immortal Master Chen stretched out a finger and tapped it at him, chanting silently in his mouth, Huang Chang only felt a chill all over his body, and the injuries he received when crossing the Thorn Vine Bridge just now, including several serious penetrating injuries on his palms that were almost pierced, also healed quickly. Even the fatigue that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was swept away.

But after all, he had just experienced that kind of limit, even if his physical strength recovered, the psychological pressure still existed, so Huang Chang still sat on the ground with no grace and giggled endlessly, and looked stupid with the lucky people around him.

After a while, Ji Ruo also sat down beside him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts full of peace and joy.
