Volume 2, Chapter 329: The Strange Road.

The climb took three days, but by dusk the three of them had already reached the halfway point.

There was no longer any ground visible in the surroundings. All that could be seen was a sea of clouds.

Here in the dark night, there is no moonlight, only faint starlight.

The three of them never stopped.

It was not until the next morning, at dawn, that the three of them looked up and finally saw the top of the mountain.

Bathed in the morning light, the entire peak exudes a five-colored light curtain, looking mysterious and fascinating.

Standing tall, this mountain is already above the clouds.

However, it was not as exaggerated as Ye Tingmu had guessed in his heart, and it was not connected with heaven and earth.

"Keep going, we're almost there."

The three men saw hope because victory was just before their eyes. At this time, the slope of the cliff had reached 45 degrees. There was no vegetation at all, and not even bird droppings were seen along the way.

This shows how high the mountain is, even birds cannot enter.

After a day and a night of climbing, Ye Tingmu also got to know the personalities and tempers of the two men.

Ying Changle doesn't talk much, doesn't smile, and is very cold. You could say he is arrogant, but sometimes a little shy and not very sociable. He seems like an autistic patient, but not quite.

Chongming has a somewhat careless personality, just like himself, rough, a little arrogant, and likes to look at people with the side of the eye.

However, apart from chatting for a few minutes while eating leaves, the three of them just focused on climbing the mountain the entire night and did not communicate much.

Another hour passed.

A snow-white hand suddenly appeared at the top of the mountain, and then a white figure successfully climbed to the top of the mountain.

Soon after, two more figures finally climbed up, one dressed in black, and the other carrying a large green coffin.

Ye Tingmu, who had climbed to the top of the mountain, glanced at Chongming and said sarcastically, "In the end, you lost."

Chongming rolled his eyes at him. The three of them were only separated by a few seconds, so there was no point in winning or losing.

"boring!"

The top of this mountain is a slope, very wide and large. Standing at this angle and looking forward, you can't see the end.

Without saying too much, there is no problem at all for 500,000 people to stand on the top of this mountain.

After reaching the summit, a flash of light appeared on the three people's bodies, and then a breath disappeared, and then their cultivation was restored.

At the moment of recovery, the spiritual power of heaven and earth jumped wildly, and the conditions of the three people also recovered rapidly.

From being in a mess, recovering to being back to normal.

Each one is full of energy and vitality

The three people who had recovered their cultivation instinctively distanced themselves.

Afraid that the other party will launch a sneak attack.

Ye Tingmu also put down the coffin and released Baili Jianhan and Baili Qianqiu.

The two of them were in a daze, and they only felt their legs were weak and completely numb.

When they saw two people walking out of Ye Tingmu's coffin, Ying Changle and Chongming stared in disbelief.

They really didn't expect that there were two people in Ye Tingmu's coffin.

All I can say is that after this comparison, they lost completely.

"What a pervert..."

Although his spiritual power had been restored and he no longer felt hungry, Ye Tingmu, unwilling to give in, still took out the meat from his storage bag, controlled the fire on the spot, and started roasting it.

Then the aroma of meat filled the top of the mountain.

He took Baili Qianqiu and Baili Jianhan to eat, but it was obvious that the two did not have a very high appetite.

“Mmm…it smells so good!”

Seeing him like this, Chongming, unwilling to be outdone, also took out a Ganoderma lucidum and started chewing it.

He started eating it raw, saying, "This nine thousand year old Lingzhi is what we eat because of its original ecology."

This is a response and also a show of wealth.

Ying Changle looked at the two of them like this, shrugged, rolled his eyes, and said, "Boring."

Then he took out something from the storage ring in his hand and started eating it in small bites.

Don't forget to say something to yourself.

"Tsk tsk, a hundred thousand year old matsutake mushroom, this tastes just average."

As time passed, people slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. The fourth person to climb up was Xia Lingkong.

This guy almost died of exhaustion.

Then, one after another, some famous geniuses from the three tribes appeared on the main peak.

They each gathered together.

However, Ye Tingmu really couldn't recognize these people.

Not very familiar, not important, just small characters.

There was no movement on the top of the mountain at the moment. Since he was free, he started to practice. Ye Tingmu also consolidated his cultivation in an instant.

He knew that once the three days were up, there would be a fourth level waiting for them.

And the location of the fragments of the heavenly book is very close to him.

So far, I have gone through three levels of challenges.

The first and second levels are a screening of strength.

After these two levels, most of the weak ones will be eliminated and only the strong ones will remain.

However, the third level requires not using spiritual energy and climbing the mountain with physical strength. This seems to be a test of physical fitness, but don't forget that he only gives three days.

So in Ye Tingmu's opinion, the assessment at this level is more like a test of endurance, or persistence.

So what will be assessed next, wisdom, courage, or something else?

All I can do is wait.

The time of waiting always passes slowly. Three days made Ye Tingmu feel as if he had waited for three years.

When the third day ended, the blue shadow did not appear, but this time only an ancient and distant voice was heard.

Tell everyone that the third level trial is over.

Those who fail to reach the summit will be automatically eliminated.

Ye Tingmu stood up and looked at the crowd around him. Not many people were eliminated in the third round.

He estimated that there were only about 100,000 people who did not climb up.

This means that there are less than 400,000 trial-takers entering the third level.

At this time, the shadow's voice sounded again, "The fourth level is about to begin."

As his voice rang out, a curtain of light suddenly appeared on the side of the mountain in front of everyone.

Then gradually, behind the light curtain, a very wide bridge appeared.

The stone bridge is suspended in the air, leading to the unknown.

The light curtain also rippled like water waves.

Ye Tingmu squeezed forward.

Staring at the ancient road behind the light curtain again and again.

The road continues to go up, but the area that can be seen is limited because the road is behind the light curtain and the light around it is very dim.

The bridge is about 10 meters wide and is paved with stone slabs, weathered by the vicissitudes of time. It is surrounded by black iron chains and covered with a layer of vegetation. It looks a bit weird and scary.

"Level 4: The Mysterious Road is about to begin. This level will take three hours to complete."

"Rules: The rules of the strange road are that if you can walk through it within the specified time, you will succeed. If you do not reach the exit within the specified time, you will fail. The loser will be swallowed by the strange road."

"Please allow the trial-taker to choose whether to enter?"

Everyone sighed, this was another level where people could die.

As for the four words "strange road", to be honest, they are quite scary just by hearing them.
