Chapter 2282 The safest place is the most dangerous place

Hearing my tone was a little bad, Shangguan Xue curled her lips and didn't dare to say anything anymore. She followed everyone to the road, and the atmosphere was a little depressed. Ouyang Haichao walked up to me and said carefully: "There is no people here, so we are already very fast. And according to the map's prompts, we have already walked most of the journey. As long as we climb two more mountains, we can reach our destination."

"Well, I'm just worried that I'll miss the best time if I delay this way. I've read the news before. In the past few days, the weather is the best, and it's mainly sunny. After these days, it's raining. It's best to do this kind of thing. It's better to choose when the sky is clear. When the sky is clear, it's easy to see strange phenomena in the world. If it's cloudy and rainy, it's difficult to see. Moreover, the thunder that touches is stronger and more dangerous in rainy days. It doesn't matter to me, I'm afraid that I'll be implicated! Do you think I'm anxious?"

After listening to my explanation, Shangguan Xue and the others looked a little better. Shangguan Xue said embarrassedly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't do anything randomly. I'll waste everyone's time. I promise that I will never drag you down in the next time!"

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just worried about your safety. You said that if we hadn't made it in time before, you would have been unable to protect your lives. If you had a few more times in this kind of thing, see if my little heart can bear it!"

After hearing what I said, Ouyang Haichao and the others burst into laughter. Tao Ying joked: "You are still very stingy! I think we are not as big as yours!"

I laughed dryly and said, "Okay, let's not talk, keep on rushing!"

When we learned that I was worried about them, everyone's mood improved a lot. They were all windy and headed towards their destination. After several hours of long journey, we finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.

Everyone looked around and found that the area of ​​the mountain was not as big as before. It was just that it was very steep and bare rocks were exposed on the side of the mountain. The shrubs at the foot of the mountain were as tall as humans. However, there were not many very tall trees on the mountain. Only a few of them emerged from the cliffs, and the cliffs without sunlight were covered with moss.

Since no one will come to such a place, no one can climb such a mountain. If you want to go to Daxue Mountain, you have to pass here. Otherwise, it will take more time to pass through other routes.

Na Lingling looked at the map in her hand, looked around again, frowned and said, "The map given by Jiang Hu has no marks when it comes to this place, but the location of this mountain is marked out. I guess no one has entered again from this mountain, otherwise why would there be no marks?"

Ouyang Haichao and the others were also a little confused when they looked at the bare mountain. Although it seemed that there was no danger at first glance, the real danger was that the towering peaks could not be climbed up casually on the steep cliff.

I nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, there are a few people who can climb such a mountain smoothly. Whether we can climb over smoothly is still unknown! But no matter what, we must also go over!"

The girls also nodded. I was in front of them and quickly passed through the bushes at the foot of the mountain. After two hours, we arrived halfway up the mountain. When we were really standing on the mountainside and saw the situation above, we couldn't help but take a breath of air. The cliffs were not even a place to step on. If we wanted to go there, we had to chisel it out manually.

I took out the climbing equipment from my bag, threw all the ropes on the ground, and gave each of them a portion of them, asking them to tie things to their bodies. After everyone put on the protective equipment, I observed on the mountainside for a while, and finally set a route in my mind, and started climbing up.

In order not to be impacted by the gravel and soil rolling down from above, each of us has brought special glasses, which not only protects our eyes, but also effectively blocks direct light, which makes us make wrong judgments.

Standing on the mountainside, tied one end of the rope to me, and threw the other end with iron claws towards the cliff, grabbed a rock protruding from the cliff. I pulled it hard, and after confirming that the end was firmly fixed on the cliff, I said to Ouyang Haichao and the others: "I'll go up first to check whether it's safe. You will follow my command below, and I'll let you come up again!"

Shangguan Xue stood on the mountainside and looked at my rising body with concern, whispering: "Brother, be careful!"

I didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, and tried to open the way with the memory in my heart. I grabbed the rock with one hand and held the dagger with the other hand, passing some energy into the dagger. The dagger kept hitting the rock. Although it was a cliff, my degree was still not slow. Soon, I climbed nearly a hundred meters. There was a large protruding rock here. I grabbed the edge of the rock with both hands, kicked the cliff with both feet, and turned to the rock, stood on the rock and looked down, and said to Ouyang Haichao and others who were full of worry: "You can come up first!"

Because I had already put my foot on it, everyone quickly climbed up. When everyone had climbed onto this rock, I took a short rest and prepared to continue climbing up.

Ouyang Haichao was a little worried that I would overdraw my physical strength if I continued like this, so he said, "Why don't we take turns to chisel so that you can still preserve your physical strength. If there is any major danger along the way, you can also protect us."

I thought about it and according to my plan, although they don’t need to consume any physical strength, there are indeed disadvantages. If there is really any danger at that time, even if I can protect myself, I cannot take into account the safety of the four of them. So I did not pretentiously and agreed to their suggestions that each of us would dig a few hundred meters and then change people.

Although the excavation speed of Shangguan Xue and the others was not as fast as before, it did not consume much energy. During the climbing process, we could slowly replenish the energy consumed by digging rocks.

When we climbed to a height of nearly 1,000 meters, we looked back and looked down and couldn't help but shudder. If we fell down, we would really be crushed to pieces. Fortunately, I was not afraid of heights, otherwise I wouldn't dare to continue to move forward.

"Fortunately, this mountain is still a bit of a benefit. At least in such places, wild beasts like leopards, ferocious wolfs, tigers, etc. cannot survive here. Apart from the difficulty of climbing, they will not encounter similar dangers."

While Shangguan Xue was talking, we climbed nearly 500 meters. At this moment, she was leaning against the rock wall and resting. We all stopped climbing and stopped for a while.

Tao Ying followed Shangguan Xue and nodded after hearing Shangguan Xue's words, and agreed. Although it seemed to be dangerous to outsiders than anywhere else, the nearly two thousand meters of journey was the smoothest moment we have been in such a long time. As long as we carefully find a place to settle down, there will basically be no danger.

Because we haven't encountered an attack for so long, everyone's defense has been reduced, but I don't think there will be no fatal threats in such a place. Maybe it's not coming yet, or maybe it's coming soon, so just as everyone relaxed, I reminded:

"Don't be happy too early. The safest time is also the most dangerous time. Don't be confused by the comfort in front of you. There are indeed no animals like ferocious wolf, leopard, and tiger, but don't forget that in nature, those animals are not the most dangerous. In such an environment, there are also fatal threats."

After hearing what I said, Lingling added: "Yes, it's better for us to be careful. There are countless poisonous insects in the mountains, and such an environment is also very conducive to their survival. Other places where wild beasts cannot survive just give them enough living space, so we must not take it lightly."

Because of Lingling's life-saving grace, everyone's views on her have also changed a lot. Now that she has heard that, no one opposes her, and they are guarding against each other again.

"In this way, we are indeed a little comfortable along the way. We are about to reach the top of the mountain. Could it be that there is a very powerful existence on the top of the mountain that no other creature dares to move here?"

After Tao Ying expressed his doubts, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that there are powerful creatures living on the top of the mountain, just as Tao Ying said?

Seeing Ouyang Haichao and the others nervous, I couldn't help but comfort me: "Okay, everyone doesn't need to do this. I just remind everyone to be careful at all times. I didn't say that there are really powerful beasts living on the top of the mountain. Maybe we can't tell if we think too much! Even if there are really powerful beasts, so many of us can still be afraid of them. I will protect you, don't worry!"

Everyone nodded one after another. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, we had to reach the top of the mountain before it was completely darker, so I would dig the last 1,000-meter journey. After reminding them and asking them to follow my pace, I began to change my body quickly and climb up hard.

Shangguan Xue followed me immediately, followed by Tao Ying, Ouyang Haichao and Na Lingling. They followed each other and took care of each other.
