Two hours later, Zhao Sheng supported himself with his hands and feet on the corners, half of his body squatted in a crack in the rock, and took a short rest.
Stepping onto this "hot land", Zhao Sheng must always be careful and vigilant
At the same time, you have to be wary of those poisonous insects and monsters hiding in the cracks of rocks and grass and trees, ready to launch sneak attacks at any time.
On the other hand, you must stay away from any herbalists who appear in your sight.
But what he should pay most attention to is...
whoosh!
A tabletop-sized afterimage flashed past Zhao Sheng's eyes with a sharp whistling sound, and fell downwards at a speed almost exceeding the speed of sound. After a few breaths, it shrank into a black dot and fell into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Zhao Sheng was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was resting in a crevice, otherwise he would have been hit.
Falling objects from high altitude!
The number one killer of herbalists in Tianzhu Mountain.
Every year, at least half of the herbalists fall into the abyss due to being hit by falling objects and end up dying.
Can you imagine what would happen if you dropped a stone from a height of 10,000 meters and it finally hit a person on the ground?
Tianzhu Mountain is tens of thousands of feet high, and the danger of falling rocks is many times higher than above.
However, there is always a way out.
Fortunately, Tianzhu Mountain still has the strange phenomenon of Yunhai Tiangang, which intercepted a considerable number of falling objects from high altitude.
Legend has it that from the third level of the cloud sea Tiangang upwards, each level of the cloud sea has been placed with extremely powerful restrictions by the ancient great powers.
These ancient prohibitions have the properties of sealing and isolation, which can prevent people who do not meet the standards from entering the upper levels of Tianzhu Mountain.
As for intercepting falling objects from high altitudes, it is just a side effect.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Zhao Sheng had a good rest.
He nimbly got out of the crevice, and with a push of his hands and feet, he instantly "swimmed" along the rock wall at high speed like a flying gecko.
Ten feet,
Hundred feet,
Thousand feet,
Zhao Sheng's figure gradually disappeared among the uneven rocky cliffs.
…
Half a day later, the clouds and fog gradually rose, and the cold wind was biting.
In the endless and distant horizon, the drunken sunset seemed to have sunk halfway, and the endless sea of clouds was dyed through by it, changing into a wine-red face.
It was getting late, Zhao Sheng looked up at the second layer of sea of clouds in the sky and estimated the height.
At the end of the day, he had unknowingly climbed to a height of sixteen miles.
It looks like the rest of the journey will have to wait until tomorrow.
Zhao Sheng looked around for a while and soon found a cave half a person's height in a depression a mile away.
After a few jumps and leaps, Zhao Sheng easily reached the cave.
This cave is not big, only about ten feet deep. There are a lot of rubble on the ground, and the walls of the cave are covered with traces of human excavation.
Zhao Sheng knew at a glance that this cave was a temporary residence dug out by herbalists.
He was already accustomed to this.
After tens of millions of years of mining and excavation, the surface of Tianzhu Mountain is already covered with countless such artificial caves.
Moreover, Tianzhu Mountain's feng shui is the best among the five continents, making it a holy place for independent cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.
For thousands of years,
Countless independent cultivators have chosen Tianzhu Mountain as their final place of meditation.
This is how most of the secret underworld palaces and ruins in Tianzhu Mountain came about.
Therefore, many underworld palaces and ruins are unearthed in Tianzhu Mountain every year, attracting thousands of cultivators to gather here.
The reason why Dongtian City was able to grow and develop is largely due to these "treasures".
…
The weather was freezing cold and clouds were rising.
After eating some dry food and carefully sealing the cave entrance, Zhao Sheng went to bed early and stayed silent all night.
The next morning, Zhao Sheng washed his face with the condensed clear water and quickly continued climbing.
The monsters and ferocious birds that had been making trouble for most of the night began a new round of hiding during the day and coming out at night.
Zhao Sheng's journey went smoothly afterwards.
In just a quarter of an hour, he climbed to an altitude of eighteen miles and then climbed horizontally to the east.
An hour later, after covering twenty miles, Zhao Sheng came to a protruding rock and was about to stop to rest.
Sudden,
His nose twitched.
Then, Zhao Sheng suddenly raised his head and looked towards the top of the eastern mountain wall.
I saw a half-dead, half-green cypress growing on the mountain wall thirty feet away.
At this moment, in the rotten tree hole at the waist of the mountain cypress tree, a one-foot-tall, plate-sized, indigo-colored Ganoderma lucidum stood in the shade.
At first glance, it is very conspicuous.
Zhao Sheng glanced at Lingzhi, and the next second seemed as if he didn't see it. He suddenly kicked the ground with his feet and shot out.
After a dozen or so rises and falls, the man had run far away in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the mountain wall beside the mountain cypress suddenly rippled slightly like water.
After a few flashes, a hole suddenly appeared in the mountain wall, and two yellow and white heads poked out from inside.
They all looked in the direction where Zhao Sheng was leaving, their faces full of regret.
"Brother, has that kid discovered us?"
"No! The illusion array I set up is flawless. That kid is obviously a rookie, there is absolutely no way he can see through it."
"Brother, we've been nesting here for seven or eight days. Can we move to another place? There's not a single bird here, it's so remote!"
"Yeah, that makes sense. Let's go now."
…
On the other side, Zhao Sheng was holding onto an old mountain vine on the cliff and drifting away.
At the same time, he couldn't help but shake his head, sarcastically saying, "What a fool! Why learn something else than those scoundrels fishing? Don't you even ask yourself, do you have the skills?"
Zhao Sheng despised this kind of brainless "fisherman" the most in his life.
You have hidden your figure, but at least you should deal with the smell.
Good job!
The body odor was carried thirty feet away by the wind. Just ask yourself, what fool can't smell it?
Two days later, Zhao Sheng trekked nearly a thousand miles and finally arrived at the place where Yin and Yang met in Tianzhu Mountain.
It took him another hour to find the landmark of the entrance to his previous life: a large bluestone three meters high.
Standing on the large bluestone, Zhao Sheng looked three or four feet away.
I saw that the thick fog there was endless, reaching the sky above and the abyss below.
There was nothing in his sight except thick fog.
It seems as if an invisible magic weapon cut Tianzhu Mountain into two distinct worlds long ago, with clear skies on one side and thick fog on the other.
After a moment, Zhao Sheng slowly exhaled, took out an invisibility talisman from his storage bag, and casually poured spiritual power into it.
As the invisible waves flashed by, the water color around Zhao Sheng disappeared, followed by a slight flicker of light, and his figure gradually faded, and finally "disappeared".
If you look carefully, you can find that the light where Zhao Sheng originally stood is slightly distorted.
Two breaths later, a human-shaped gap suddenly appeared in the thick fog, but the surrounding fog immediately filled it up and soon smoothed out the gap again.
After entering the Land of Death, Zhao Sheng's alertness reached the extreme and he moved very slowly. Once there was any sign of trouble, he would immediately hide and remain motionless.
It is better to be careful in everything.
Zhao Sheng didn't want to come here with great difficulty and then die before achieving his goal.
Three hundred years have passed, and great changes have taken place here.
All the dangerous "places" recorded in the previous life are invalid.
Zhao Sheng could only look for markers while moving forward cautiously.
Fortunately, the topography along the way hasn't changed much in the past three hundred years.
Zhao Sheng just needs to be careful to avoid those ferocious monsters and birds.
I don't know how long it took, but the "night" of the Land of Death came.
Faced with almost absolute darkness, Zhao Sheng wisely chiseled through the mountain wall, dug a deep pit, and finally buried himself in it.
Soon, the frost that fell solidified the outer layer of soil in the deep pit!
