Compared with a few days ago, in addition to being familiar with the terrain below one-third of this steep mountain and knowing where to climb with less effort, the young man's physical condition is slightly worse. The obvious wound on his body There are no less than ten places, most of which are left over from the first day of climbing. At that time, the boy refused to give up. When he was exhausted, he could hardly hold the chain, so he slipped down due to the friction between his hands and feet and the iron chain. . The climate in the Luofu Mountains is humid and warm, and most of these wounds are now red, swollen and festered, and there is a piercing pain between the slightest movements. And the unfavorable conditions didn't stop there, the food stored in the Miaoyi hut where they stayed could only last for another three or four days at most. In the past two days, the boy has already started to spend a lot of time looking for food that can satisfy his hunger in places where poisonous snakes, insects and beasts are infested. On the iron chain, he took a short rest, but it was impossible to fully recover after all. When he climbed to this height close to the mountainside, the boy felt that his hands and feet were already as heavy as lead. At the beginning, I fixed myself, and after a short rest, I could go up seven or eight meters and take a second rest, but now every time I go up two or three meters, I have to stop and rest again.
The boy knew that he was close to the limit, and he looked up, not knowing how far away it was. But the young man didn't feel any depression or loss in his heart. All he thought in his heart was that this method was really effective, and he had already climbed twice as high as usual. If you can't climb today, you will climb again tomorrow. As long as you can climb higher day by day, there will always be time to climb to the top of the mountain.
He is indeed not smart, but he has tenacity and simplicity that most people don't have. If it were any other boy of this age, he might not even be able to reach one-third of the place. Now the boy gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, while not daring to relax for a moment, he carefully observed his surroundings. There were bushes and vines growing around the iron chain, and the scenery and mountain conditions were also different from those below. Suddenly, with a sound of "Xisuo", the young man was startled. While trying his best to stabilize himself on the iron chain with his left hand, his right hand also quickly grabbed a hatchet stuck in his waist. Before climbing, the boy had discarded all unnecessary things to reduce the weight. The reason why he brought such a machete was that it could cut down some obstructive thorns and bushes to clear the way, and more importantly One point is that one day before the boy was climbing, on the vine beside him, he found a ferocious poisonous snake with a haggard color but as thick as a child's arm.
Following the sound, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a little gray monkey. After blinking its beady eyes and looking at him, the young man disappeared into the rocks and bushes as if in shock.
"Oops, it's going to rain!" The boy had just inserted the hatchet found in the Miaoyi hut back into his waist when a gust of bitter and strong mountain wind blew by, almost blowing the boy off the chain and knocking him down. I was so scared that I was dripping with cold sweat. In a short while, the originally sunny mountain was suddenly covered with overcast clouds, and the sky turned dark all of a sudden.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The boy suddenly heard such a strange sound again. The sound was as if someone was blowing a huge conch shell in the distance, it was big and hollow.
Another gust of bitter mountain wind blew past, and the strange sound was even louder. This time the young man looked carefully, not far above his head, many dead branches and leaves that were blown by the wind were swept away, like Like being swallowed by something.
Originally, seeing a heavy rain coming in a blink of an eye, it would be safer to go down the mountain as soon as possible, but the young man became curious and couldn't help but climbed up. With a sound of "呲啦", a growing bush scratched the boy's clothes, and added a bloodstain on the boy's back, but the boy cheered instead, and what he saw in front of him was a man covered by vines. In the cave, the strange humming sound is caused by the strong wind blowing into the cave.
The inside of this cave, which is only big enough for one person to enter with a bow, is pitch black, and the depth cannot be discerned at a glance. The damp and musty smell is blown out by the blowing mountain wind. If it is seen by ordinary people, it must be eerie, but in the heart The simple-minded boy only thought that this was a surprising foothold. If he could bring food and climb here for a good rest tomorrow, he might be able to climb to the top of the peak in one go. Even today, he can take refuge temporarily. It was windy and windy, so without thinking too much, he pushed aside the vines and got in.
***
The dead branches and fallen leaves at the entrance of the cave are very thick, and the feet are as soft as cotton. The young man put his feet on the ground, relaxed his heart, and immediately sat down on the bottom of the cave as if his whole body fell apart. The beads had already fallen down like pearls with a broken thread.
The whole of Luofu was instantly blurred, and layers of white mist appeared above the thick green. This kind of scenery may not be seen by pampered people in their lifetime, but the rain brought in by the mountain wind quickly drenched half of the young man's heart. Any poetic and charming, after a wry smile, the boy gritted his teeth and stood up, and began to explore the cave.
Except for the area near the entrance of the cave that was wet by the rain, the ground in the cave was dry and there were no traces of snakes and insects. At first, it became narrower as you went in, but after a few feet, the cave became wider and faintly glowing. The young man walked on the stone wall for a while, and suddenly saw a cave with a radius of several tens of meters. There were several holes on the top of the mountain that communicated with the outside, and rainwater fell along like a bead curtain. Holes come through. The young man was startled for a moment before he understood, no wonder the cave didn't feel stuffy at all except for the smell of damp and moldy air within a few meters of the cave entrance. It must be that the mountain wind blows in from the entrance of the cave, and then blows out from these holes, and the air flows, which makes the strange humming sound.
Below the hole on the top of the mountain, there are clusters of shrubs, and the rain falls, rustling. At a glance, except for a small half of the strange rocks, most of the cave is flat and can be used as a place to stay. Who would have thought that there would be such a hidden cave in the cave, the young man couldn't help but be filled with joy, and even couldn't help thinking that when the weather was fine, the sunlight outside would definitely form beams of light and fall on these bushes.
"There are still fruits, I wonder if they can be eaten?" The young man suddenly saw a cluster of bushes with dark branches and only a few leaves like fern leaves, but each branch had five or six branches. The thumb-sized red berries look very attractive.
The boy couldn't help but walked up to him, and was about to pick one off to have a look, when suddenly, a sharp "hiss" sound came from his left side.
The sound suddenly sounded in the empty cave, and the young man was taken aback, and immediately turned his head to go, his whole body broke out in a cold sweat. He saw four fiery red eyeballs staring at him firmly, and the owner of these four fiery red eyeballs turned out to be a double-headed, human-like monster!
This monster is no more than three feet tall, standing upright like a human being, with two heads, one on the left and one on the right, with clear facial features, gray hair, and cobweb-like wrinkles on its face. The ugly old man is not enough to shock the world. This monster also has hands and feet, but both hands and feet look thin and weak, especially the hands seem to have shrunk, curled up in front of the chest like chicken feet, and the support point for it to stand upright is a shocking, like a crocodile. The same tail.
The boy took two steps back and subconsciously grabbed the hatchet stuck in his waist. "Hiss!" The monster's two heads suddenly had a vicious look on their faces, and suddenly jumped up from the standing rock and rushed towards the boy. The boy's heart contracted for a while, his hair exploded, and he raised his hatchet to slash at the monster. With a whimper, the monster didn't dodge or evade, and its tail swept up. The young man's hatchet was like hitting leather, and it turned out that it only printed a white mark on the monster's tail. And the monster seemed weak, but the sweep of its tail was extremely powerful. The young man was so shocked that half of his body was numb, blood was flowing from the tiger's mouth, and the hatchet could not hold it, and fell to the side with a ding.
The boy rolled over, grabbed the stones on the ground and threw them at the monster. The monster couldn't dodge in time, and was hit twice by the boy, and seemed to be even more annoyed. With a "hoo", the boy's eyes lit up, and the monster opened its mouth with a blazing flame, and the flame contained strong energy. The stones thrown next were not only beeped by the high temperature, but also cut to pieces by the tongue of fire.
"He can breathe fire!" The young man was terrified, and suddenly found that there were no more stones to throw around him, and he was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to stand up and run!
On the top of the peak, Yuan Tianyi's figure was a little blurred in the wind and rain, faint and lonely, as if ink on a piece of paper was fading away and would disappear at any moment. In fact, since Yuan Tianyi stood on the edge of the cliff facing the mountain wind thirty years ago, Lao Zhaonan has always felt this way. He always suspects that one day he will suddenly go with the wind and disappear in a flash. Lao Zhaonan knew that Yuan Tianyi was already at the top of the world's pyramid at that time. People like him had no intersection with ordinary ascetics. The longitude and latitude are even more distinct, but the scorpion is what fetters him. The iron chain and the height of this unnamed mountain are the only rules he has set for the young man, and he will never allow anything under his nose. , to change the rules he made. "Presumptuous!" Yuan Tianyi uttered these two words coldly in the wind and rain, and stretched out his hand slightly as if to catch the raindrops falling from the sky. A light red sword light appeared out of thin air. The top of the mountain poured down.
Judging from the brilliance of the color, this light red sword light seems to be incomparable with those flying swords in Shushan, but just like the law in Luofu Mountain, sometimes the more unobtrusive something is, the more dangerous and deadly it is .
"I don't want to die like this! I finally found a foothold, and I met such a monster!" In the cave, seeing the monster rushing towards him, the young man was full of unwillingness and resentment! In an instant, his eyes also became blood red, like a wounded lone wolf, even if he had no strength, he still wanted to bite his opponent with his own teeth. "Presumptuous!" But at this moment, Yuan Tianyi's voice rolled like thunder, falling from the sky.
That light red sword light was even faster than the sound!
Just as the young man was so shaken that his ears were buzzing, and his whole body felt as if struck by lightning, a light red sword light had already appeared in his sight, twisting towards the monster.
