"Oh my god! How could it suddenly break? Was there an earthquake?!"
The youngest child lay on the ground with his legs weak for a long time before he barely came to his senses and complained.
Now his clothes on the back are wet.
Wu Heng also walked forward to take a look, and then checked the surrounding terrain. He analyzed, "It must be an earthquake crack. This length should split the mountain in half. We can't get through."
He was talking about himself and his youngest.
"Of course I can't go such a long distance." The youngest child looked at the connection point of the climbing ladder over 200 meters away from him. He wisely admitted his defeat and looked back at the old man worriedly. "Old cripple, even if you can dive and hold your breath, you can't fly that far directly. Besides, the air here is humid and the soil is very soft. The relay point is not safe."
So don't joke with your life.
The old cripple glanced at him, nodded calmly and said, "My legs and feet are not working properly now, so I can't fly over."
The youngest heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and immediately suggested, "Then let's go back..."
"We can't fly, but there's actually another way." However, before he could finish his words, the old cripple interrupted him and said, "We can jump down."
The youngest opened his mouth and said, "...Ah?"
Before he could react, the old man picked him up and turned around to greet Ye Lan, "Friend Ye, see you later."
Then he jumped and jumped directly into the abyss.
Wu Heng subconsciously reached out to grab them but missed. When he turned around, his face turned pale. "They, jumped down."
Seeing that his speech was beginning to falter, Ye Lan sighed inwardly that the quality of this new class of recruits was not very good. He stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and said calmly, "The exit is at the bottom of the abyss. Let's go too."
Wu Heng: “…”
At that time, his expression was cracked.
During the fall, even though he repeatedly warned himself in his heart, the feeling of weightlessness in his body still made him unconsciously grab the arm of the girl beside him, and his whole body became stiff as a stone.
The whole process lasted at least a minute before they landed safely.
The moment he stepped on solid ground, Wu Heng felt like vomiting. Turning his head, he saw his youngest lying on the ground in a dark corner, vomiting profusely.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and ran to the other side to vomit.
Lao Guaizi and Ye Lan stood there waiting, chatting for a while.
"With this kind of mentality, if he were to participate in the disciple assessment, he would probably have a hard time even passing the first round."
“Well, if it’s Xuanzong’s words, then no outer disciple can do it.”
"So does Beidou Sect."
…
After a while, the two people over there vomited out the contents of their stomachs and walked back with one step deep and one step shallow.
"Old cripple, I beg you, please don't be so scary next time, okay? At least let me be mentally prepared!"
Hearing the complaints, the old man looked very innocent and said, "I informed you."
Youngest: “…”
It would be better not to notify.
God knows that at the moment he jumped down, he was already silently reciting his last words.
Wu Heng didn't say anything, but his eyes were dull and his expression was wooden for a long time.
"Come back to your senses. We still have a long way to go." Ye Lan walked over and patted him on the shoulder to remind him.
After a while, Wu Heng rolled his eyes and looked at her quietly, then without saying a word, he distanced himself from her.
He had always felt that the girl in front of him looked a bit like his master, and now it was confirmed.
It cannot be said that there is no connection, it can only be said that they are exactly the same.
Ye Lan didn't mind his dodging and this time walked ahead first.
Wu Heng pursed his lips and followed her. As he walked, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the deep canyon in front of him. Then he looked up and saw a huge shadow appear in the air.
The shadow was getting closer and closer, and in a moment it pounced in front of the girl. It was actually a strange bird with a pointed beak and bat wings.
The bird had a strange shape, an extremely long beak, and two rows of sharp teeth on the upper and lower sides. It opened its mouth and bit the girl's head.
"Ye Lan!"
Wu Heng couldn't help but shout out, but unfortunately the big bird had already bitten off half of the girl's head in a few seconds. The red and white brain covered with flesh and blood flowed down, and the boy's eyes turned red instantly.
Dead.
Ye Lan is dead.
As soon as this realization rushed into his mind, he went crazy. When he came to his senses, his hands were covered in scarlet blood and the remains of strange bird feathers.
He stared blankly at his youngest son who was also crying loudly while holding the old cripple's corpse in the distance. For a moment, he felt as if he was in another world.
Obviously, they had been climbing the mountain together with laughter and joy, enjoying the scenery along the way...
wrong.
Wu Heng lowered his eyes, staring at the blood on his hands and the body of the girl lying not far away. His brows suddenly furrowed, and he felt that the whole thing was weird.
Not to mention that jumping off a cliff was unrealistic, with Ye Lan's fighting ability, how could he be killed by a sneak attack from a monster bird without even a counterattack...
"Hello."
He raised his eyes and was about to call his little one who was not far away, but the moment he opened his eyelids, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
The dim canyon lit up, and the surroundings turned back into lush jungle, shrouded in clouds and mist, it was as beautiful as a dream.
Ye Lan and Lao Guaizi, who had died, were standing aside, with nothing in front of them, and no so-called earthquake gap.
"What... is going on?" He opened his mouth. The sweat on his face from fighting with the strange bird had not yet dried. His clothes were rolled on the ground and were covered in dust. He looked in a mess. Everything proved that what had just happened was not fake.
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's explain it together after the youngest comes out." The old cripple waved his hand and looked at the little disciple who was still crying on the other side. He was moved and sighed helplessly.
After teaching for so long, not only is his knowledge of ancient martial arts not as good as Wu Heng, who just started learning, but his character is also much inferior. He loses his judgment when encountering things. What will he do in the future?
Fortunately, the youngest had stayed on the mysterious island for so many years. Although he was not as strong as the wolf cub Wu Heng, he was much stronger than ordinary people. He cried for a long time and came out just when he was about to pick up the old cripple's body to bury it.
After coming out, he found that the old man was not dead. Without thinking twice, he rushed over and hugged the old man and cried again, "Wow, I was wondering why your weight was wrong. I have taken care of you for so many years, I can even feel that you are losing a piece of meat..."
The old man originally despised his stupid apprentice, but after hearing these words, he softened his heart. He calmed down, wiped away the tears, and comforted the apprentice for a long time before he finally coaxed him into silence.
Only then did he begin to explain the cause and effect of all this.
"Actually, the stone you kicked was the centerpiece of an illusion. The moment it's touched, the illusion begins. If you're careful, you'll notice that it was subtle sounds that led you to the rift, the abyss, and the monsters beneath it. These were simply the sounds of the forest wind."
"Because ordinary people, even us, will consume energy and physical strength during long journeys, which will weaken our sensitivity to the outside world and easily disturb our minds, so this formation will not spare anyone."
