From the mountain gate to the foot of the main peak, there are all stone steps one by one. The road is not difficult to walk. Although everyone mainly practices various spells, this kind of stone staircase road will not be difficult for them.
After jogging all the way, half an hour later, I arrived under the main peak. When I looked up, I couldn't see the peak at all. The sharp-edged peak was almost perpendicular to the ground. Instead, there was a bright red arrow carved on a huge rock on the peak.
Pointing to a man-made diagonal path around the mountain peak.
"Come on." Su Ran said to everyone, looking at Su Bei who had already set foot on the path with Qing Shang.
The path was extremely difficult to walk. It was only wide enough for two feet to stand side by side. As they went up, the path became steeper and steeper. Everyone had to reach out and grab the vines hanging from the peak wall to ensure that they did not stop.
Will fall off the cliff and slowly move upward.
Fifty-two people lined up in a row, not daring to take a breath. They were careful for fear that they would accidentally fall down the cliff. Even if they sometimes summoned the flying sword to ensure that they would not die, they still had to climb up from the bottom of the peak. Wouldn't they be old?
Life?
Su Bei walked in the front, Qing Shang followed closely behind Su Bei, with a pale face, trembling hands and feet, walking tremblingly step by step. Su Bei, on the other hand, was paying attention to Qing Shang behind him every moment.
As soon as he realized something was wrong, he twisted his body and supported Qingshang with his strong arms to ensure that she would not fall.
As time passed by, everyone's hands and feet became weak as they climbed, but when they looked up, the end point was still out of reach. They sighed, suppressed their dizziness, and continued to climb up with difficulty.
At noon, the rising sun was shining brightly, and everyone felt thirsty. However, there was no water for them to drink here. However, when they thought about what would happen if they did not complete the test. In desperation, they could only work hard towards the goal.
Climb up.
Qingshang was sweating like rain, and there was an abnormal blush on her flowery face. If Su Bei hadn't taken care of her all the way, I'm afraid Qingshang would have been unable to hold on.
"I'm so thirsty." Qingshang said in a low voice. She felt like she was about to faint. She was exhaling more and less inhaling.
Su Bei also discovered that Qing Shang's condition was extremely bad. His eyes wandered. Suddenly, Su Bei looked at the ivy on the cliff. He felt happy, pulled off a piece of ivy, and turned around carefully.
He came and said, "Qing Shang, raise your head and open your mouth."
Qingshang was in a daze when she heard what Su Bei said. She didn't ask why and just did it. Su Bei stood firmly on the path with his feet, let go of the ivy, and folded the torn ivy in half.
Then, after twisting it hard, the ivy broke, and bits and pieces of light green water gradually merged into one stream and flowed into Qingshang's mouth.
Qingshang felt water entering her mouth, and swallowed it unconsciously. For a long time, until the water could no longer be squeezed out of the ivy, Su Bei pulled off another one and did the same.
It wasn't until she finished wringing out the water from the third ivy that Qing Shang was full. After drinking enough water, Qing Shang cheered up slightly and looked at Su Bei with gratitude in her eyes.
"Let's go." Su Bei said softly, reaching out and holding Qingshang's hand firmly.
At the back, Su Ran was overjoyed when she saw that Su Bei was looking for water for Qing Shang, and said loudly: "Everyone pull off the ivy and wring out the water, and there will be water to drink."
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and regretted that they had not thought of this method earlier, so they all followed the instructions. However, a few unlucky ghosts screamed and fell off the cliff, stepping on flying swords in mid-air. Their lives were not in danger.
But had to start all over again.
Half of the time has passed. Along the way, there were only about thirty people who could keep up with Su Bei's footsteps, and the most unlucky ones were seven people who fell off the path.
Suddenly, Su Bei, who was walking at the front, stopped and looked at the road ahead with a blank expression, but it was not a road at all.
The path ends here, and there are only stone protrusions of different sizes, at least four or five meters away, that are only enough to stand on. On the cliff, one protrusion corresponds to a green vine.
Qingshang, who was standing behind Su Bei, looked at the road ahead, and her expression suddenly changed. She couldn't get through at all. Qingshang thought for a moment and said, "Master, you can go ahead and don't worry about me."
"No." Su Bei said decisively, thinking quickly about what to do.
Su Bei stopped, and naturally he had to stop behind him. After a while, someone began to urge him. Su Ran, who was following Qing Shang, also turned pale. This was really a life-threatening situation.
Listening to the urging voice behind her, Su Ran was speechless. The road has gone like this. Even now, she still doesn't know where the end point is, how far it is, and how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is. No one knows.
However, when Su Bei didn't know what to do, a figure fell from the sky. Bai Ling appeared on the edge of the cliff with a flying sword, looking at Su Bei with a smile.
"What's going on? I can't walk anymore."
Su Bei nodded, and his doubtful eyes fell on Bai Ling. When Bai Ling saw that Su Bei just nodded but didn't say anything, Bai Ling couldn't help pouting and said: "Huh, if you ask me, I will help you.
how?"
"Why do I ask you?" Su Bei was indifferent. Now it seems that it is not a big deal for him to go up to Qingshang, but he doesn't know if it is a violation.
"You...Okay. Well, good intentions are not rewarded. My master said that she will accept Qingshang as her apprentice, so Qingshang is exempted from the test. I am here to pick up Qingshang's sister."
"So, very good."
"You don't even say thank you?" Bai Ling opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Bei in disbelief.
"It's your master who wants to accept Qingshang, not you."
"You, hum." Bai Ling stomped her feet angrily, snorted, floated to Qing Shang's side, pulled Qing Shang onto the flying sword, and walked away directly.
Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Qing Shang was picked up, so he could let go of his hands and feet and stride forward. Without hesitation, Su Bei stretched out his hand to pull Qing Shang, kicked off his feet, and swung directly over. Accurately
He stepped on the first protrusion, then let go and grabbed the second ivy, and so on, moving forward as quickly as an ape on the cliff.
Behind, the disciples of the Su family were pale and moved forward cautiously. The guy who was urging them from behind turned green when they saw this scene. However, no one flinched and gritted their teeth and moved forward cautiously.
Three hours later, the last protrusion disappeared, replaced by green vines one by one, and there was no way to start. The cliff was as smooth as a mirror. And in those three hours, there were fifteen
People fall off a cliff and start over.
Su Bei's expression remained unchanged. He grabbed the ivy and used his left and right hands alternately. Each time, he passed several ivy vines and then grabbed the next one. He moved forward as fast as flying.
Su Ran followed Su Bei closely, and during those three hours, her face turned pale with fright. However, when she saw this section of the road, Su Ran almost cried, wondering if anyone else was going to live.
Grasping the ivy, one by one, he moved forward carefully. Su Bei's figure disappeared from his sight. Su Ran thought sadly: I don't know how many people can pass such a test.
When night falls, the moonlight shines on the cliff, and the entire cliff is glowing with white light. Everyone is surprised to see where they started, and accidentally fall off the cliff.
After walking the Ivy Road, Su Bei spent an hour. After that, there were all dense stone protrusions, enough for people to climb up using hands and feet. However, in this way, one must stick to the cliff tightly with the whole body.
Make sure you don't fall.
Su Bei spent another hour to complete this section of the road, and at the end of the road. Su Bei jumped up lightly, and a huge stone platform suddenly appeared in front of him.
The end has arrived.
Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look around. There was no sign of anyone. On the entire platform, Su Bei couldn't see a single person. It seemed that someone would have to wait until the morning to pick them up.
Since he had arrived early and no one came to pick him up, Su Bei was not in a hurry. He sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed. Su Bei was surprised to find that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was as strong as the Qingtu Mountain where the Su family was located.
They are completely different. They are in the same sky and on the earth.
All the cells in Su Bei's body seemed to be active. Feeling the crazy gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, Su Bei groaned in comfort. Soon, the spiritual energy from heaven and earth reached the critical point and disappeared in an instant. Su Bei did not open his eyes.
Opening his eyes, he continued to feel the aura of heaven and earth, and so on. It was not until Su Bei finished the third time that the aura disappeared that he heard a voice panting like a cow.
Su Bei opened his eyes and waited for a long time before he saw a hand grasping the edge of the platform, a head slowly rising, and Su Ran's exhausted face appeared in Su Bei's eyes.
"You're here." Su Bei said calmly, with a smile of relief on his face. On the way before, Su Bei couldn't help Su Ran at all. Maybe, even if Su Bei could help him, Su Ran wouldn't
agree.
Su Ran climbed onto the platform, and then lay down directly on the ground, breathing heavily. It took a long time before he said anything, "Damn, what kind of test is this? It's really life-threatening. Brother, you are really good. How long have you been here?"
"
"Well, I don't know, it's been a long time anyway." Su Bei smiled. Indeed, he meditated as soon as he came up. He didn't even know how much time had passed.
"The time is up in half an hour. Alas, I don't think many people can pass." Su Ran said sadly. Su Ran is no better than Su Bei. He is proud of the Su family and of course wants more of his own clan.
Brother can pass the test.
"Haha, they wish themselves well." Su Bei disagreed. He didn't care at all whether those people could pass.
Surprisingly, Su Qianqian was the third person to climb up. Su Ran comforted Su Qianqian and told her to rest quickly. Who knows what other tricks the Sword Controller Sect might come up with if they stay away.
The fourth person who came up was Cheng Tianba, and the fifth person was Su Bing.
The time has come, Su Ran looked at the man he had seen yesterday who came with a sword, his face was gloomy, only five people passed the test, Su Ran lamented in his heart.
