After being slapped by the old man, Lin Shuo raised his head to see the scene above, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
The nine people who were struggling to climb the mountain had already climbed to an altitude of about 3,000 meters above sea level.
For them, the mountain is already almost straight, and every time they climb up a step, they have to cut through the mountain with the mountaineering manuscript in their hands. The small stone pit dug out was used by the climbing pick at first, and then the feet could be stretched in and stepped on.
The difficulty of this matter is different for these nine people.
He Yongchang, Su Dongdong, Miao Xiaoxian, these three are very relaxed.
Li Tai'an moved a little slower, because he held one hand in the void, and only one hand could be used for climbing. At the same time, he was distracted by attracting the power of the stars to lighten everyone's burden.
Although Wei Xingshan's overall ability is poor, he is good at climbing. Anyway, he takes it step by step slowly, and his speed is similar to that of Li Tai'an, so he doesn't need to worry about others.
Tang Lingyu and Kui En were slower than Wei Xingshan, not because they were incompetent, but because they had to take care of the other two.
Catherine and Graham, one of these two is one of the most outstanding light priests of the younger generation in Europe, and the other is one of the most outstanding druids of this generation in Europe. Stronger than ordinary people.
Climbing such a mountain is tantamount to killing them.
Therefore, Tang Lingyu and Quinn helped each other one-on-one, Tang Lingyu took care of Catherine, and Quinn took care of Graham.
Lin Shuo stopped at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and the others continued to climb up at different speeds. At this point, the distance between the ten people had gradually opened up.
He Yongchang was at the top. He was in charge of exploring the road. First he used a climbing pick to dig out a small stone pit for everyone to stay in, and confirmed whether the rock wall was hard enough to bear everyone's weight.
Miao Xiaoxian, Li Taian, Su Dongdong, Wei Xingshan are the second echelon.
According to Lin Shuo's instruction, Su Dongdong stared at Li Tai'an at his own pace.
Miao Xiaoxian was afraid that Li Tai'an would have an accident while climbing the rock with one hand, so she guarded him around.
Tang Lingyu, Quinn, Graham, and Catherine were the third echelon, and they were halfway away from the first echelon. They were only about 500 meters away from Lin Shuo's current position.
Regardless of whether it is easy or strenuous, in this case, everyone is fighting against gravity.
If Lin Shuo was also climbing right now, then the entire hunting team would have almost no fighting power at all.
Moreover, everyone's safety is actually in the hands of one person, and that is Li Tai'an.
In such a situation, if Li Tai'an really had a problem, he would be able to wipe out the hunting team at once.
Of course there is something wrong with Li Taian, so Lin Shuo had already thought of this possibility in advance, otherwise Su Dongdong wouldn't be staying by Li Taian's side right now.
But if it was just such an arrangement, and Lin Shuo himself went climbing at the same time, there would be a fatal hidden danger.
In case there was something hidden in the mountain, or something flew over from the sky, the hunting team would hardly have any resistance.
Lin Shuo didn't think about this before because it's two o'clock in the afternoon and it's broad daylight.
According to his previous deduction, the monsters under the rift valley will not come out during the day.
His previous experience also verified his inference.
But there are exceptions to everything, such as now.
There was no sign, whether it was Lin Shuo's nose, Su Dongdong's ears, or He Yongchang's eyes, nothing abnormal was found.
A spear-shaped object suddenly broke out from the mountain, piercing Su Dongdong's chest!
This thing is like a ground thorn placed upright, and it suddenly starts.
If it were someone else, even Lin Shuo, this would be enough to watch.
Fortunately, it was Su Dongdong who first looked for this thing.
In order to prevent Su Dongdong from making any moves, Lin Shuo was carrying the weight of her body.
As Li Taian got farther and farther away from Lin Shuo at this time, the scope of influence of his thoughts was limited after all, and the weight on Lin Shuo's shoulders became heavier and heavier.
And Su Dongdong itself is very light.
At the same time, as a hunter of the Su family, she has excellent hearing. Before the thing pierced through the rock wall, she had already noticed the abnormality in the mountain one step ahead.
So her evasive action was made subconsciously, very timely, and there was no time left.
The man shot away from the stone wall at once, and turned sideways to pass.
But at the same time, she was vacated and began to fall.
At this moment, the mountain is almost vertical, and if it falls like this, if it falls hard, people will definitely be gone.
With such a big drop, it would not be easy for Lin Shuo to catch her, but he didn't think much, but subconsciously moved two steps sideways, waiting for the woman to fall to save her.
But Su Dongdong still didn't fall off.
Because a whip stretched down from above and wrapped around her waist.
Miao Xiaoxian's Whip of Helping the World was struck at this critical moment.
But the entanglement of the whip is only temporary, if Su Dongdong doesn't want to fall, he has to grab the whip with his hands to borrow strength.
That's exactly what she did, but as soon as she grabbed the whip, she only heard Miao Xiaoxian exclaim and let go of the whip.
This was beyond Su Dongdong's expectation, she never expected that with Miao Xiaoxian's level of strength as a person in the Ninth Realm of the Hunting Gate, she would not be able to hold her own weight.
But since the mutation had already happened, she didn't have time to think about it, but quickly adjusted her posture in the air.
She knew that Lin Shuo was below to protect everyone, so she stretched her body as much as possible at this moment, so as to use the air resistance as much as possible to slow down her momentum, so that Lin Shuo could catch herself.
But the strange thing is that after I fell a hundred meters, it seemed as if something was supporting me, and the decline became slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Feeling this upward force, Su Dongdong was pleasantly surprised at first, but then terrified.
Because she saw that Li Tai'an had also left the cliff and was hovering high in the air, looking down at her indifferently.
Su Dongdong immediately understood the current situation.
Except for himself, all the burdens on other people were offset by Li Tai'an with the power of the stars.
If Li Tai'an can use the power of the stars to offset these burdens, he can also remove the power of the stars and make these people fall.
And the only one who had a restraining effect on Li Tai'an was forced to fall down a distance of 200 meters by a ground thorn buried on the cliff face, losing control of Li Tai'an.
Not only did he lose control, he was also held in mid-air by his thoughts, faintly becoming a hostage.
The reason why Miao Xiaoxian's long whip fell out of his hands may be Li Tai'an's tricks.
The reason why the ground thorn suddenly appeared may also be a trap that Li Tai'an had set up on the mountain in advance.
I followed Li Taian according to Lin Shuo's instructions, so Li Taian was able to lead himself to the location of the trap.
This person is not only powerful, but also scheming. With just one move, he almost suppressed the entire hunting team.
Fortunately, there was Lin Shuo below to protect him.
…
Lin Shuo's reaction at this moment was much faster than Su Dongdong's.
Because before Su Dongdong figured out these things clearly, he had already invited Lord Zhui in his hand, and pointed his bow and arrow at Li Tai'an who was hovering in the air.
The two faced each other across the air, and Li Tai'an said loudly: "Boss Lin, and Chief He above, I advise you two not to act rashly, because your lives are currently in my hands."
With a distance of more than 700 meters, Lin Shuo said calmly, "But your life, Li Tai'an, is in my hands."
Li Taian shook his head: "Lin Shuo, don't overestimate yourself.
I came out this time to tease you children, and to see how good you are.
The nine people on this trip should already be leaders in your human cultivation world, and among the nine people, you, Lin Shuo, are the strongest.
You are Yun'er's orthodox successor, and today's head of Liemen, you must be among the top group of human practitioners.
But your current level is not as good as that of Yun'er ten thousand years ago, where do you have the confidence to take my life? "
When Lin Shuo heard this, he felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.
Yun'er, not to mention ordinary people, even the people in the hunting gate know very little about this title.
Yun'er is the founder of Liemen, the ancestor of the Yun family.
Of course, it may not be so appropriate to say that it is the grandfather, but to be precise, it is the grandmother of the ancestor.
The ancestor of Liemen was actually a woman.
But when a person's achievements have reached her level, gender attributes are not so important.
Since Liemen was established, no one has ever called her by the name Patriarch. Three hundred years ago, Liemen called her Patriarch.
In the past three hundred years, due to the change of the chief executive family, the Lin family replaced the Yun family, so she was called the ancestor of the Yun family.
But now, listening to Li Tai'an's tone of voice, it seemed that the ancestor of the Yun family had a friendship with him.
Of course this person is not Li Tai'an. Lin Shuo has made various guesses about who it is.
But in this situation, it seems that his guesses are wrong.
This person's background is obviously greater, and it may not even be accurate to say that he is a human being.
"Who are you?" Lin Shuo asked in a deep voice.
"Who am I, even if I tell you, you may not understand, so just don't ask." Li Tai'an said lightly, "I can tell you the identity of my body.
He is Li Tiangang, this person is dead, but I don't think his cultivation is too low, so I borrowed his body and made him more than 30 years younger.
But the entire Li family of Liemen, only he can barely get into my eyes, and everyone else is too weak.
You, Lin Shuo, are not strong enough now, and you can't handle what's going to happen next.
I have an old relationship with Yun'er, so I hid it from the inside and ran out to remind you.
Whether you can understand it is up to you.
I ask you a question. "
Lin Shuo slowly put down the chasing master in his hand, and said, "Please tell me."
Li Taian said: "What the hell is Kowloon
You have to figure out this question before you are eligible to enter the game.
Otherwise, you, the current leader of the Hunter Gate, will not be able to understand the existence of Nine Dragons. Then the entire Hunter Gate, and even all of you human beings, will only add to the chaos when dealing with the future situation.
And your current performance is indeed like this.
So to prevent that from happening, we don't mind destroying you first.
But since you are Yun'er's descendant, I can give you another hint in private.
Yun'er taught nine apprentices back then, each monitoring Jiulong.
It's just this kind of monitoring, what's the point
An ant may shake a tree.
If an existence like Kowloon wants to do something, do you humans have a chance to resist now? "
After saying these words, Li Taian waved his hand slightly, Su Dongdong exclaimed, and he fell down.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was about to fall to her death, Lin Shuo quickly reached out to catch her.
A person fell from such a high place, even if Su Dongdong was in danger and kept adjusting his posture in the air, it would fall into Lin Shuo's hands with a force of tens of thousands of catties.
Right now, Lin Shuo's feet were not flat ground, but a steep slope, so the tens of thousands of catties of force could not be forced upon, but could only be deflected.
The head of the hunting gate had no other moves, he caught Su Dongdong's body, and the two of them rolled down the mountain with their arms around each other.
While rolling down the mountain, both Lin Shuo and Su Dongdong had to find ways to continue to defuse the momentum. The climbing picks in their hands were like plows for plowing the fields, and they drew two deep marks on the mountain.
After descending more than 500 meters on the mountain, I finally controlled my body.
Lin Shuo looked up, Li Tai'an in mid-air had long since disappeared.
…
