Night seemed to come earlier in the north than in the south, and with it came a sudden drop in temperature. The mountain became extremely quiet, completely different from Gorge Peak Mountain. It was absolutely quiet.
"Hey." Morin, who had been quiet for a long time, couldn't help but speak.
"Yes?" Lu Ping responded.
"Is everyone here?" Morin asked.
"They are all here," Lu Ping answered.
"What a strange feeling." Morin said.
"What's wrong?"
"There's no sound at all." Morin said.
"Yes." Lu Ping said.
"Talking to you is the most boring thing in the world." Morin sighed.
"You like the sound. You'll get it later." Leng Qing's cold voice floated out of the darkness.
"Oh? What is it? "Morin asked.
Silence answered him. Leng Qing obviously wasn't someone who liked to chat.
"It's the wind." Ying Xiao's voice suddenly came, and then there was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of Ying Xiao gulping down a mouthful of wine.
"You've been drinking a lot today." Morin couldn't bear the loneliness and tried to chat with Ying Xiao.
"There's nothing else to do." Ying Xiao said.
"What are you doing in Yanmen Town?" Morin had been concerned about this for a long time.
"I heard that the four academies were going to attack outside the pass, so I came to be the vanguard." Ying Xiao said.
"Such an ostentatious vanguard?" Morin was surprised. As the only inn in Yanmen Town, although small, it was still quite conspicuous. Monitoring the movements of the four academies was not a good idea in Morin's opinion.
"If it weren't for these two idiots, why would it be conspicuous?" Leng Qing suddenly interrupted.
"Hehe." Ying Xiao couldn't help but laugh. "You have to be smart about these things, so do you know what I'll do? I'll just follow behind you. Whatever you do, I'll just copy it. "
"I'll kill you one day." Leng Qing said.
"Heh." Ying Xiao was still smiling.
"Are the three of you from the Dark Academy?" Morin asked.
"Dark Academy, that's just what you call it," Leng Qing said.
"How do you address yourselves?" Morin asked.
"They don't have any special names. They are just three ordinary villages," Leng Qing said.
"Village?"
"Yes, living in a world of ice and snow outside the Great Wall, three villages living a difficult life." Leng Qing said.
Lu Ping and Su Tang also sat up at this moment. From Leng Qing's words, the Dark Academy seemed to be different from what they, or perhaps everyone in the Inner Pass, thought.
"You'll know when you get there." Unexpectedly, Leng Qing didn't continue talking. She turned over and stopped chewing.
"What's the situation?" Morin asked Ying Xiao.
"The people on your side think that we are training hard day and night outside the pass, ready to attack the pass and kill all of you. But in reality, it takes a lot of effort just to survive outside the pass. The Dark Academy in your mind, if there is one, it's not just our three routes. "Ying Xiao said.
"Three routes?"
"The Dark Academy split up after escaping to the Outer Pass. With no way out, they each went in a different direction. In the end, they were called First Route, Second Route, and Third Route." Ying Xiao said.
"What kind of split?" Morin asked.
"Who knows, it's been so long, even the elders can't explain it clearly." Ying Xiao said.
"Then how many people do you have left?" Su Tang had been listening quietly the whole time. He couldn't help but ask.
"Three routes added up, barely about ten thousand people." Ying Xiao said.
"That's not a lot." Su Tang said.
In fact, it wasn't just a lot, it could be said to be very few. Ten thousand people, in the Inner Pass, a slightly larger village would have this many people. It couldn't even compare to the Academy. The Inner Pass Academies were places where cultivators and elites gathered, but the Dark Academy was already a village where survival was the unit of measurement. There would definitely be old and young people among the ten thousand people, and those who could stand out and fight would definitely be far below this number.
"So when we heard that the four great academies were coming to suppress us, everyone was very flustered." Ying Xiao said.
"Then according to what you said, you don't seem to have any intentions of becoming enemies with the Inner Pass. Why don't you find a chance to explain?" Su Tang said.
"We don't represent everyone, you'll know when you get there." Ying Xiao said.
"Alright." Lu Ping nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. At this time, as Leng Qing said, the sound of the wind gradually began to grow louder and louder, echoing through the mountains like thunder. And in the small valley where the six of them were, they could only hear the sound of the wind, but couldn't feel it at all. It could be seen that the route and resting point were not randomly chosen.
Just like that, they spent the night listening to the sound of the wind. The next day, when the sun climbed up the mountain and shone down, there was no warmth at all. After sitting for a night, Xu Weifeng's complexion improved a lot. When he opened his eyes, he saw five people surrounding him, staring straight at him.
"Not bad." Xu Weifeng said, stood up, and waved his fists and legs.
"Can we walk?" Leng Qing asked.
"Let's go." Xu Weifeng started to move without another word.
Morin had long been curious about the path ahead, and was also quite proactive. After climbing out of the valley, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Path?
That didn't exist. After coming out of the valley, there was a bottomless cliff ahead. Leng Qing and the other two didn't even look at it. When they reached the edge of the cliff, they still walked as if they were flying, and took a step down.
"How do we walk … …" Morin muttered as he walked forward, already having a very bad feeling in his heart. As expected, if they wanted to go down such a cliff, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do. The three of them used their own methods to jump down the precipitous cliff and descend. Not to mention that Morin didn't have the Spirit of Strength, even if he did, he didn't have the confidence to control the distance of jumping on such a steep cliff.
"Which one of us will carry him?" At this time, Lu Ping and Su Tang were already discussing. They didn't need to ask to know that Morin wouldn't be able to handle this "path". Although he was very proficient in Wind Travel, which could be used as a movement ability, the principle of this ability was to borrow strength. It was quite practical in a confrontation with an enemy, but it was a bit difficult to use in this situation.
"Let me do it." The two of them had a result in the blink of an eye. Lu Ping took a step forward and grabbed Morin.
"Hold on tight!" Merlin said, his heart thumping in fear.
"Okay." There was no consolation, just a sound of response. Lu Ping grabbed Morin, and with a whoosh, they directly jumped off the cliff.
"Are we going to fly?" Morin shouted in shock, but the two of them were already falling rapidly. His voice was actually floating in the air, getting softer and softer.
"No, we're jumping." Lu Ping was still answering him seriously. With a whooshing sound, the two of them had already left the three people from the Dark Academy who had jumped down first in the dust.
"What are you doing?" The three of them immediately stopped on the cliff, and exclaimed at the two of them who were falling straight down.
"Waiting for you down there." Lu Ping's voice was already very far away.
