Chapter 8 Getting Started 3
Long and Wu encouraged each other. After five days of long journey, they finally saw the edge of the desert. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Walking out of the edge of the desert, Long Wu felt his whole body suddenly relax! Looking at the number of people walking to the edge of the desert beside him, it was already less than one-third of the number when he first entered. Long Wu sat in an open space and ate some dry food.
He recovered his strength as quickly as possible. After about a day, a few more people walked out one after another, and no one appeared again after that.
Just when everyone was swaying around and lying on the ground secretly rejoicing, a voice that sounded like a devil sounded again: "The next test is to climb the top of the mountain along the rope at the foot of the mountain. Those who reach the top will be counted.
The time limit for passing the test is seven days. If it is not completed after seven days, it will be considered a failure."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes distorted, and a big mountain quietly emerged. Standing at the foot of the mountain, everyone looked at sixteen thick ropes, which, under the sunlight, looked like more than a dozen strange snakes, extending to the top of the mountain.
above.
Among the remaining sixteen people, there are some who are dejected, some who look determined, and some who are hesitant and scared! They are different from each other, but each rope will allow everyone who climbs to walk out of their own different futures.
Long Wu took a deep breath and looked at each other with Ding Qian and Wang Kun. The firm look in his eyes made the two people feel trembling. They looked at Long Wu and walked towards the rope without hesitation. The two people looked at each other.
He glanced at him, then left with a complicated expression.
As soon as he grabbed the rope, Long Wu immediately felt a majestic and solemn atmosphere surrounding him. It seemed that there was some special energy suppressing him, and he felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
Long Wu used his hands and feet to climb very fast. After an hour, he was halfway up the mountain. At this time, he was secretly happy. He didn't expect that this test was so simple! According to his own speed, he could climb up in less than an hour.
Can reach the top of the mountain!
As time went by, the mountain gradually became steeper and uneven, and there were many dangers on both sides. If you were not careful, you would slip and fall! Sweat began to appear on Long Wu's temples.
It was almost noon. After climbing all morning, Long Wu felt that his legs were filled with lead, his arms were numb, his hands were sore and he was sweating profusely. He was out of breath and continued to climb. Unexpectedly, he was at the foot of the mountain.
Look, this back mountain is not high and not very steep! But after actually climbing it, I found that this mountain seems to have no end, which makes people feel fearful and even despairing.
At this moment, a huge pressure swept from the top of the mountain. The bodies of Long Wu and others were squeezed hard. As long as they relaxed for a moment, they would fall down from the mountainside! Followed by a layer of
A faint mist surrounded his body, and Long Wu clearly felt that his physical strength was beginning to be consumed rapidly. At this time, he could only resist the pressure and keep his body firmly fixed on the rope.
A quarter of an hour later, the pressure increased again, about one-tenth of the previous time...
The pressure would increase every quarter of an hour. Long Wu took a deep breath and withstood the pressure that surged like a tide for the sixth time. He was surprised to find that if he wanted to stabilize his body here and not fall, he would need to pour all his strength.
He tried his best to barely do it, but he really didn't know how long he could hold on. At this moment, a young man not far from him suddenly let go of his hand, and his body fell from the side. His screams of terror suddenly echoed throughout the mountain.
…
There were more than a dozen strong young men hanging on the mountainside, each with a look of fear on their face and eyes filled with horror!
However, there was a fierceness in Long Wu's eyes at this moment. At this moment, he was holding the rope with his left hand and clasping the five fingers of his right hand on the mountain wall. His body was close to the mountain and he was slowly moving up. He knew the difficulties he encountered on the road to immortality.
It’s just the beginning. If you can’t even pass this level, then you may really have no chance of cultivating immortals in this life! Just when Long Wu was fully prepared to face the next pressure, a quarter of an hour later, the terrible pressure did not stop.
Appeared. Instead, dark clouds rolled between the sky and the earth, and there were even roaring sounds, as if the wrath of the sky had descended on this mountain range. The dark clouds connected the sky and the earth, and it was pitch black, and they were getting closer and closer in the blink of an eye.
After a while, dark clouds covered the top, and the sound of thunder boomed. It was deafening, and the strong wind was raging, as if it was about to uproot the mountain. In the strong wind, Long Wu's five fingers holding the mountain wall turned white, but they were tattooed.
Without moving at all, he looked up at the sudden change in the sky, his eyes bright and motionless.
Right next to Long Wu, a young man's body was hanging on a steep cliff. Looking at the terrifying power of nature in front of him, he swallowed and was stunned.
However, the strong wind became stronger and stronger, blowing the grass and trees in the mountains. The sound was like the roar of a giant beast, and it also rolled up countless dead branches and leaves on the mountain. All the grass, trees and leaves were flying rapidly all over the sky. There was another fierce burst.
A strong wind blew by, and the young man beside Long Wu was swept up and thrown far away while spinning. His screams were immediately lost in the roar of the wind.
Long Wu persisted in this strong wind for a short time. The entire sky was completely covered by dark clouds. Under the thunder, huge raindrops fell. At this moment, the whole world appeared as a world covered by a curtain of water. The rain was pouring.
, kept falling, getting bigger and bigger. Long Wu was still holding on to the rope soaked by the rain, and pressed against the mountain wall. Both palms were numb and could not move. At this time, he could only let the rain soak.
It penetrated the whole body, and while the wounds on the body were washed away by the rain, there was a heartbreaking pain...
"I won't climb anymore! I want to go home!" The cry for help on the mountain echoed in the air...
The teenagers around him all raised their necks and lowered their heads, staring blankly at the boy crying on the mountain. They all felt chilled in their hearts. Not only this boy, but also the current situation of everyone present.
Don't expect anyone to rescue them at all.
Long Wu, who was far away, looked at the miserable scene in front of him, with only indifference in his eyes. Over the past few days, he had seen many people suffering, but now he was very cautious, conserving every ounce of strength and keeping steady.
Stay focused, coordinate your body, and continue climbing up in an orderly manner.
However, at this moment, on another rope two feet away from Long Wu, an agile young man who seemed to be twelve or thirteen years old quickly climbed up at a speed that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Seeing that this young man could still have such physical strength after being baptized by the storm, Long Wu opened his eyes and couldn't figure it out. He didn't know how long it had passed, but the heavy rain gradually weakened, and the sky and the earth were covered with rain and fog, and the rainwater flowing down from the top of the mountain formed a
Water lines of different thicknesses flowed downwards. Dozens of people not far from Long Wu were all breathing heavily. After taking a short rest, they began to climb slowly again...
Time flew by, and two days later, the dozen or so teenagers not far from Long Wu had already opened up a considerable distance. At this time, Long Wu's face was flushed, and his physical strength was being consumed at an alarming rate.
Every inch of his climb was so difficult. It was obvious that he had used all his strength, and his sweat was dripping like a fountain! But every time he thought of the young man climbing up quickly in the face of the storm, Long Wu felt sad in his heart.
An unknown fire rose quietly, and he must climb to the top of the mountain to see who the young man was.
"ah!……"
Everyone stopped climbing and looked down in unison, only to see a thin figure falling into the fog, leaving only a series of calls for help...
Long Wu's face was a little pale. He gritted his teeth and continued to climb up cautiously, because Long Wu knew that stopping would not only give him time to recover, but would instead consume his energy to a greater extent. It was in one go that he could continue climbing up.
Decline, three and exhaust.
Six days later, Long Wu only felt that his hands and feet were as heavy as mountains, and it was extremely difficult to lift them. But he still did not give up. The pressure on his body had begun to make his bones make sounds from time to time. He did not know this.
Among the teenagers who came with him, how many of them fell into the mountains? He only knew that he could never die! Although his hands and feet were all bloody, the heartbreaking pain came from the broken flesh at all times, making him hang on the rope.
The locked body couldn't help but tremble.
"This boy has never practiced any basic skills, but he has extraordinary perseverance and a firm mind!" A long voice of admiration fell from the top of the mountain in the distance. The person who spoke was the one with a look of emotion on his face.
Master Lingxu. Regarding Master Lingxu’s praise, the four elders and eight deacons all nodded in agreement.
On the seventh day, there were only three people still climbing, and they were all in a very embarrassed state! Especially Long Wu, whose whole body was covered in blood, and his clothes were soaked with blood and sweat. His fingers, elbows, knees, and toes were all bloody.
Chapter completed!
