The road leading to Gate 6 becomes increasingly difficult, with three cliffs inside the mountain.

To pass, you can only hang your body on the pitons at the top of the cave and move to the other side little by little. The risk factor is very high.

The forward speed is naturally slow.

Expansion nails on the rock wall are very safe and are maintained regularly, but they require very high physical coordination and waist, abdominal and arm strength of the experienced users.

Heiyuan has been climbing rocks with bare hands since he was a freshman. He has also cultivated himself, so the difficulty level has been greatly reduced.

It has been a full 15 hours since we left the gate at No. 5. Heiyuan has not yet reached the gate at No. 6, and the vertical height has only dropped less than 300 meters. This section of the road involves hanging, rock climbing, and sometimes climbing in rock crevices.

Crawling from time to time, sometimes swimming through culverts for short distances.

In order to perform the play well, Heiyuan took five short breaks in the middle, trying to make himself look like he was teetering on the edge of physical exhaustion, using the rest time to stall for time so that the two of them could take action.

During the process, he encountered ghost vines 6 times and avoided them. This plant is very sensitive to sound. When there is any movement, it will extend the vine to the sound. When humans approach, it will emit ghostly shadows to confuse the opponent.

The infected ones, as Guard No. 5 said, will be dragged away by their developed root systems and turned into nutrients for growth.

The cave passages are winding and winding, and there are many protruding rocks and strange-looking stalactites. It is difficult for the spiritual power to extend too far.

Heiyuan was not familiar with the terrain and could not accurately judge where the two men were going to appear from and how they were going to take action. Maybe they had already passed him by a certain distance through the shortcut, and they could just wait for him to walk over unprepared, and they could kill him from behind.

.

The equipment sent by Bai Haoyue is very complete, including a complete outdoor cooking set. As long as it is not wasted and is only used once a day to boil hot water for drinking, the three gas tanks can last a long time.

After finding a fairly open platform and clearing aside the debris left by other practitioners, Heiyuan decided to spend some extravagance, boiling a pot of hot water and making a cup of instant coffee to boost his energy levels.

Just as the hot water was gushing with small bubbles, he used Qi Yuan in his ears, and his spiritual power condensed into threads detected the movement.

...coming...

There was no trace of panic in the man's movements. He slowly tore open the instant coffee bag, poured it into the kettle, and waited for the water to boil.

He only used a headlamp for illumination, and there was only a faint light within less than one meter in front of him. He quickly boiled the water, poured it into the kettle, and shook it. While waiting for the coffee to completely dissolve, he turned off the stove and put the supplies into his backpack.

I took out my sleeping bag and planned to take a nap here for two hours and wait until I regained some strength before getting back on the road.

The two people behind them also stopped. They talked very little and spent most of their time writing and communicating in each other's palms. The movements were not large, but there was still a slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

After drinking the cup of hot coffee, Heiyuan felt that his whole body was warm, and the fatigue from the long days of traveling was somewhat relieved.

He turned off the headlight and lay down to take a nap. However, he did not withdraw his mental power thread and continued to eavesdrop on the movement over there.

There was a steady sound of snoring in the darkness. People often snore after being too tired.

"He fell asleep." No. 4 wrote 4 words in the palm of No. 5's hand.

"Do it now?"

"hold on."

The two of them were squeezed into a cavity in the rock that looked like an alcove. The space was a bit narrow, and the woman was pressed against the rock wall by the man. Except for the movement of her hands, the rest of her body was already sore and numb.

Along the way, although there are not many such bunkers, this one is not the only one. It is more suitable. There is one not far ahead with a larger space. No. 5 knows that this is deliberately chosen by No. 4 in order to get closer to itself.

, so as to take advantage.

For the sake of profit, no matter how unhappy a woman is, she will endure it.

She wanted to get rid of No. 4 as soon as the matter was completed.

After another ten minutes, when Heiyuan's sleep became deeper, No. 4 deliberately placed his head next to the woman's ear and whispered: "Get ready to take action. When you go out, stretch your muscles first, so as not to cause any trouble for me."

After saying that, he stuck out his tongue with a disgusting smell and touched the woman's earlobe.

Goosebumps appeared on her toes, and the woman almost vomited from the smell of No. 4's mouth. She rolled her eyes repeatedly and took several deep breaths to suppress her nausea.

Moving their hands and feet in a small area on the spot, the two of them moved quickly and silently with their waists bent.

...

The man pretending to be asleep had his ears perked up, carefully distinguishing the distance of the sound.

...The cultivation level of No. 4 is indeed higher than that of No. 5, and the physical fitness is not bad...

Perhaps because they stayed in the cave for a long time, the night vision of the guards was much higher than that of ordinary spiritual practitioners.

Coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, they can move quickly and without hindrance.

The location they chose was very suitable. There was a cliff about 20 minutes away, and there was a culvert less than 30 minutes away, which required 50 seconds of diving to pass.

And they can use shortcuts to disappear. Even if the robbery fails, they can escape unscathed, and they can prepare again and try again.

In less than 5 minutes, they were less than 100 meters away from the black abyss.

Suddenly, the two stopped and No. 4 carefully identified them again.

At this distance, with his peak cultivation as a low-level monk, he could completely hear every move of the young man 100 meters away.

...Breathe evenly and slowly, you should enter deep sleep, don't miss this great opportunity...

Giving the woman behind him the signal to move, they moved.

100 meters...80 meters...50 meters...20 meters...5 meters...the last meter.

He pulled out his knife and stabbed at the sleeping bag.

The sharp dagger in his hand did not stop him from cutting into flesh and bones as expected, but instead stabbed into the thick down sleeping bag.

"Are you looking for me?" A joking voice sounded in the ears of the two of them.

"No, we were fooled." No. 4 shouted.

At this time, he could no longer care about the woman behind him and was frightened away by the murderous intention of the young man.

The space in the camp was limited and could only accommodate five experienced people in sleeping bags. As soon as he retreated, he came to the edge of the camp. There was a long and narrow passage beside him, stalactites hanging above his head, and sharp rock protrusions behind him.

If there is no way to retreat, then fight.

At this point, we can't use sneak attacks to kill the opponent, we can only fight head-on.

No. 4 holds a forearm-long dagger in his right hand. The blade is sharp and glowing with cold light.

At this time, the woman behind him had already turned on her headlight.

The young practitioner Hei Yuan stood in the middle of the camp and stared at the two uninvited guests.

He mocked: "Are you two okay? What other information do you want me to trade with you? Are you here to pursue me?"

The sarcasm on Heiyuan's face was too obvious, which completely angered Guard No. 4.

"Boy, didn't your family teach you how to keep your wealth secret when you go out?" No. 4 smiled ferociously, and couldn't help but glance at the backpack at the young man's feet. A feeling of greed arose in his heart.

"Whether you have been taught or not is not your turn." Heiyuan responded calmly.

“You’re still talking nonsense even when you’re about to die.”

"Look at the knife."

The life-and-death battle between spiritual cultivators takes place within seconds and millimeters. It will never be as polite as a challenge in the ring. Every move will kill you, and you will never give the opponent a chance to react.

However, the man's extremely confident killing move was easily dodged by the young man in front of him.

Guard No. 4 was stunned for half a second, then swung his dagger again and stabbed the young man.

The scope of the camp was really limited, and there was no way for the two of them to distance themselves from each other in the battle. No. 5 behind him held up a dagger and retreated to the edge, not daring to get close at all.

She chooses to defend, which can prevent the young man from escaping.

No. 4 failed to hit the opponent with several consecutive attacks. He was a little anxious and shouted angrily: "Damn woman, what are you waiting for? Come on together?"

"If we let him go, we will definitely be severely punished by the execution hall."

"You, you can't beat him, what's the use of me going up there?" The woman was so scared that she retreated again, her body almost pressed against the rock wall.

As a bystander, she felt that their previous speculation was very wrong. This young man's cultivation could not be a low-level monk. It was possible that he had already crossed this realm and was a high-level cultivator.

The more the woman thought about it, the more likely it seemed, her pale face was bloodless.

The gap in great realms cannot be made up by numbers and combat skills.

She even felt that the young people had known for a long time that they had arranged a murderous plot, and everything they said and did on the road was to lure them into the plot.

At this point in the battle, the two were inseparable. Heiyuan deliberately lowered his level, and No. 4 Zhou Xuan easily dodged every killing move of No. 4.

"With this little ability, I thought you were capable of something great." After having enough tricks, Heiyuan decided not to waste time anymore and solve the two hidden dangers early so that he could practice with peace of mind.

When No. 4 launched another fierce attack, he easily avoided it and stabbed it with the dagger in his hand.

No. 5 felt strongly about retreating, and just as her body was about to react, No. 5 grabbed her and pushed her into the dark abyss. In fact, No. 4 was not stupid. He had long discovered that the young man's strength was not inferior to his own. His last move

The move was actually a feint attack, and then he used the woman to block the Black Abyss Dagger to create an opportunity for himself to escape.

It has to be said that the man's cunning really won him a chance. The dagger in Heiyuan's hand just happened to stab No. 5's chest, and the bright red blood quickly dyed the skirt of his clothes red.

Before No. 5 could react, he fell into Heiyuan's arms.

"I'm sorry, let, let you suffer this, I, we have no choice but... the conditions in Guijian... are really..." At this time, the woman was breathing more out and less in, and her voice was getting lower and lower.

A dying person speaks kindly. Heiyuan knew that this woman had a good heart, so he held her in his arms and gave her the last bit of warmth.

"I didn't intend to kill you." The young man said slowly.
To be continued...
