"It's almost there, it's almost there, huh." Du Yu spoke to encourage everyone, his voice mixed with heavy gasps.
Right above my head, there is finally an end!
How far exactly
Maybe 50 meters, maybe 80 meters.
Sweat flowed down Du Yu's forehead and soaked his eyes, but he was unwilling to even shake his head to wipe off the sweat.
The numb limbs and heavy body all told Du Yu that he was almost reaching his limit.
Du Yu is at the advanced stage of demon taming, not to mention Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei who are at the junior stage of demon taming.
The physical fitness of the two girls was far inferior to that of Du Yu. Thanks to the Imprisonment Clan, they were able to crawl to where they are now.
But even with the help of confinement, the two of them relied on their perseverance to hold on.
This climbing trip was simply a journey from hell!
In addition to the most basic rock climbing, they encountered attacks from monkeys and birds along the way, and from time to time, Tianshan snow sheep wanted to get a piece of the pie.
The Tianshan Snow Sheep look like goats and appear to be vegetarians, but they show great interest in everyone's demon pets.
"Hehe." Lin Shiwei's chest heaved violently and she licked her thin lips with her tongue.
The salty and bitter taste made her feel that she was still alive, not just a body that could only repeat mechanical movements.
30 meters, 20 meters.
Du Yu turned his head and looked down, and saw Li Mengnan struggling hard.
Strands of hair stuck to her sweaty face. The girl used her hands and feet, and a pair of lightning claws, to help her climb slowly.
It can be seen that the electric soul confinement also has its limits.
"Almost there." Du Yu shouted.
"Nai~"
"Nai!" The cry of a young deer came from above.
Du Yu looked up and said hurriedly: "Be careful!"
The two Dust Spirit Deer landed steadily on the top of the mountain. Due to the angle, Du Yu could no longer see Bai Lu and Bai Yujing.
"You two, go up and take a look!" Du Yu ordered Xiao Youying and Feng Wuwu.
On the top of the mountain, there is a guardian beast!
The two little guys flew up immediately. Just when they rose half the distance, Du Yu finally felt relieved.
On the edge of the cliff, two snow-white deer heads slightly lowered and looked at the people below.
"Hmm~" Xiao Yan exerted force with her tail and jumped up more than ten meters!
She struggled to climb up the steep rock wall with all her limbs.
"Nai~" Bai Yujing spread his legs, looked at his little friend who was climbing up, and called softly.
However, Prince Yan had no intention of paying attention.
She lay limply on the ground, transformed from a noble and beautiful fire fox into a dead dog, with even her tongue hanging out.
"Snap!" A hand tightly grasped the edge of the cliff.
Du Yu supported his heavy body, exerted force suddenly, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain!
The terrain on the top of the mountain was completely beyond his expectations.
The so-called edge of the cliff is more like the edge of the pelvic floor. Was I climbing a volcano
Du Yu, who had just climbed up the mountain, rolled down the slope.
Fortunately, this is not a real volcano, but just a depression in the terrain.
"Heh." Du Yu knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. He raised his hand with difficulty and wiped his sweaty eyes with the back of his hand.
Bai Yujing, who came rushing over, lowered his deer head and gently licked Du Yu's face, not minding that his master was covered in dirt.
Du Yu raised his head slightly, and wherever he looked, there was nothing.
The top of the North Peak was much larger than he had imagined!
All along, he had been confused by the sharp rock peaks protruding from the abyss and thought that the area above the north peak was equally narrow.
In fact, this is a huge platform.
There is even a towering ancient tree a hundred meters away!
Because the platform on the top of the mountain is too large and the mountain walls are steep, people's vision is obstructed.
Such a huge demon plant was actually hidden in the center of the North Peak.
It feels like a different world.
“Bang!”
A human hand grabbed the edge of the cliff, and another flaming claw arrived and rushed up with Lin Shiwei.
"Shi Wei." Du Yu stood up shakily, sweat dripping down his face, and came to the girl's side.
Lin Shi could only wave her hands weakly, her face flushed and sweating profusely: "Meng, Mengnan."
"Okay." Du Yu supported Bai Lu's body, as if to gain strength, or as if to remind him to take good care of his master.
Du Yu climbed up the hillside with difficulty and looked down.
I happened to see the bear face of the ascetic monk Xiao Taisui.
Compared with other creatures, the little Tai Sui is simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Its breathing even maintained a steady rhythm. Although a little short, it was still much stronger than that of other creatures.
Du Yu stretched out his hand to grab it, but his palm froze in mid-air.
The miniature camera on the side of the head recorded everything clearly. If help was given to the demon pet at this last juncture, all the efforts made by Xiao Tai Sui would be wasted!
"Hold on, yes, that's it." Du Yu rolled to the side and made way.
"Hmm~" The little Tai Sui moaned softly, finally climbed up, turned into a round ball, and rolled down the hillside.
Du Yu squirmed forward, revealing half of his head, and watched Li Mengnan slowly climbing the rock.
There is also a rose three spirit at the girl's feet.
With the help of the vines, the Three Rose Spirits also had some strength left, and it had been protecting Li Mengnan's feet, which was obviously at Lin Shiwei's instruction.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of team and comrades-in-arms.
"Bang!"
The Electric Soul Confinement broke through the mountain wall and lifted the body up with difficulty.
“Bang!”
A white hand grasped the edge of the cliff, with slender fingers slightly pale, and appeared beside Du Yu's face.
Seeing the girl gritting her teeth, Du Yu said softly, "Teacher Li Hong will be proud of you."
"Well, that's, of course." The girl stammered, trying her best to prop herself up.
She even used her head, pressing the side of her face against the edge of the cliff, trying to move her body upwards.
"Oh~Oh~" The first moment she climbed up, her body turned into a skateboard and dived down the hillside.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Du Yu said softly with a gentle expression.
"Hmm~" The Three Rose Spirits stretched out their long vines, jumped lightly onto the cliff, and landed steadily on the side of Du Yu's face.
The cute big eyes blinked on the little face that looked like a flower bud.
Afterwards, the three rose spirits actually circled around Du Yu's face. The three heads met Du Yu one by one, and the three lovely smiles were almost the same.
Such a scene is very healing.
"Heh." Du Yu smiled and rubbed the three rose heads.
It is worth mentioning that Rose Three Spirits is the last demon pet, Li Mengnan’s Fire Lulu, which was taken back into Li Mengnan’s body after everyone encountered the Tianshan Snow Sheep.
"Tai Sui, is the demon breath still enough?" Du Yu returned with the three rose spirits, "Summon the hollow bamboo shoots to restore everyone's strength.
I am guarding outside with Bai Lu, Bai Yujing, Feng Wuwu and Xiao Youying."
"Hmm!" Little Tai Sui nodded decisively and slapped his bear paw directly on the ground.
Huge bamboo shoots appeared out of nowhere and absorbed all the team members who had collapsed on the ground.
Until the end, Little Tai Sui nodded to Du Yu, and the blooming bamboo shoots under him also slowly closed, enclosing itself inside.
Hollow bamboo shoots can restore the vitality of all living things.
The word vitality has a complex definition and can be understood as the power source of various body functions.
As vigorous vitality is infused into the target's body, the person imprisoned in the bamboo shoots will naturally recover their strength faster.
Du Yu squatted beside the huge bamboo shoot. The Shadow Gu Tower in the Lingxu Cave once again refined the demon soul. Endless demon energy filled his body, giving him great confidence.
In the spiritual contract, Shadow Guta's thoughts came: "Well done, Master."
"Yeah, it feels like a layer of skin has been peeled off." Du Yu responded.
Shadow Gu Tower: "One day, you will be grateful for your efforts and persistence today."
"Thank you." Du Yu grinned and looked into the distance.
Stay in the designated area for 24 hours.
The content of the task is rather vague, and Du Yu doesn’t even know where the designated area is.
As he carefully examined the large platform on the top of the mountain, his eyes passed by the towering trees, and he also noticed the explosive rocks in the distance.
A pile of huge rectangular stones was a hundred meters away from the central demon plant.
They formed a circle, each of them a strange, giant stone face, all facing the pile of stones in the center of the circle.
The beast that guards the mountain is probably hidden in that pile of rocks.
Or perhaps, that pile of rocks was the beast that guarded the mountain.
Due to the angle, Du Yu's vision was blocked by the towering ancient trees and he could not see the entire pile of stones.
"No, don't go over there!" Du Yu suddenly spoke, stopping Xiao Youying from finding out what was going on.
He continued, "It's very quiet around here, which is good. We are lucky to have the opportunity to recover our strength, so let's not disrupt the status quo for now."
"Hmm." Xiao Youying nodded, not quite understanding.
The Dust Spirit Deer and Wind Witch understood what was said. They either leaned or landed beside the bamboo shoots, enjoying the benefits of the bamboo shoots.
"Come, come here." Du Yu waved with a smile.
Little Youying ran over, jumping and skipping, holding a big torch.
"We haven't been alone for a long time." Du Yu's hand was covered with demonic energy. He caught the intangible little Youying and held it in his arms. "You performed very well along the way."
"Hmm!" Xiao Youying shook her head happily.
Being held in the owner's arms and praised by him, it became overly happy.
It held a large torch in its arms and thrust it directly into Du Yu's face.
Du Yu: “.”
He tried to avoid it subconsciously, but due to lack of strength and slow movements, he was unable to escape the flames.
Afterwards, Du Yu stopped hiding.
The firefly is icy cool and very refreshing.
The unique firefly fragrance in the world permeates the nose, carrying a unique and elegant charm.
For some reason, this smell reminded Du Yu of Master Qing.
Although the smell on her body was not like that, but a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
By the way, after myself and my pet demon advance to the fourth level, will I be able to release the unique aura that belongs only to Youying out of thin air
Tsk tsk~ Does this count as having your own body odor
The problem is, this fresh and elegant breath seems a little inconsistent with my temperament.
Well, forget it.
It's okay to spray it on Teacher Qing occasionally, but I'm not a girl, so I don't need perfume.
"Hmm?" Noticing his master's enjoyment, Xiao Youying put down the torch and blinked.
Du Yu naturally knew what was going on in Youying's little head. He was quite helpless: "Be nice to me?"
hateful!
The plan was exposed!
Little Youying pouted her lips, lowered her head, and nestled obediently in Du Yu's arms.
"Nai~" Bai Yujing came closer, stepped over Du Yu's body with his front hooves, and called out with his head down.
Du Yu, who was originally sitting leaning against the bamboo shoots, had to move his butt forward and let Bai Yujing lie between him and the bamboo shoots.
As Bai Yujing lay down, Du Yu leaned against her body, with the back of his head slightly buried in her snow-white hair.
"Huh" Du Yu sighed deeply.
One stage is completed, and there is still one stage left.
Three rings are waving to the Yan Organization.
I hope that after experiencing this "journey to hell", any other difficulties I face in the future will be nothing compared to them.
“Boo!!!”
Du Yu was thinking secretly when suddenly a melodious fox cry came from the hollow bamboo shoot that wrapped Xiao Yan.
Du Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. The message conveyed in the contract was very clear.
King Yan, you need to advance!
