Leng Qing, Ying Xiao, and Xu Weifeng stuck close to the mountain wall, watching Lu Ping and Morin who were falling rapidly, and in the blink of an eye became two little black dots, dumbfounded.
"You can do that?" Ying Xiao exclaimed.
Leng Qing didn't say anything, but the shock in her heart could be seen from her expression. Xu Weifeng climbed up the mountain rock with one hand, and used the other to caress his chest, which had been hit by Lu Ping's Flying Sound Round Chop yesterday. His face was full of joy.
The way the three of them descended the cliff, could be said to be sliding. Although the cliff was steep, with their strength and agility, they could always find a reliable foothold, and then slowly move down. And Lu Ping jumped down, as far as they could see, he didn't rest at all. How would he resolve the force of such a fall? At least, the three of them couldn't think of it.
Boom!
A loud sound suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff, like a boulder falling to the ground, echoing in the valley. The three of them looked at each other again. This … … he didn't resolve it at all, and directly fell to the ground?
"Too scary." Ying Xiao exclaimed again, and then continued to jump down, his movements much faster than before. It seemed that he was very curious about how Lu Ping completed this jump.
Hanging at the bottom.
Morin lay on the ground, looking up at the sky that had already become a line, his heart beating wildly.
The way to resolve the force? He experienced it: Just as he was about to hit the ground, Lu Ping suddenly threw him up, and the downward force was all borne by Lu Ping, and he hurriedly used Travel With the Wind, and with the force of Lu Ping's throw, he lightly landed on the ground.
But what followed was the loud sound of Lu Ping falling to the ground. The power of the soul spread out like a torrent, and directly flipped him over. Then, the raised gravel and dust fell on his face.
"You're really good … …" Morin lay motionless, and mumbled.
"It's alright." Lu Ping's voice came from the side of the hustle and bustle. From the sky full of broken stones and sharp soil, a gray figure walked out.
"What's wrong with you?" Looking at Morin lying on the ground, Lu Ping asked curiously.
"Frightened," said Morin.
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Lu Ping said.
"I was scared because of you. If something like this happens again, can you let me follow Su Tang?" Morin looked up and could vaguely see a few figures jumping on the mountain wall. His eyes were filled with endless envy.
Their movements weren't slow either, and they quickly landed on the ground. He looked at Morin and then at Lu Ping. The dust floating in the air at the bottom of the cliff had yet to settle!
"Can we go now?" Lu Ping looked at them and asked.
"Won't you let us visit for a while?" Ying Xiao looked up and down at Lu Ping. He seemed to be very unwilling that Lu Ping didn't lose an arm or a leg.
"What do you want to visit?" Lu Ping said.
Ying Xiao looked at the sky, and then looked at the pit that Lu Ping smashed when he fell. He pointed and said, "If you can do something big this time, this pit will become an important site."
"I hope that's the case. Which way should we go?" Lu Ping replied casually. He was still concerned about where they should go next.
"This way." Leng Qing walked to the front to lead the way. Xu Weifeng circled around the pit for a while and then followed.
The road at the bottom of the cliff was very long. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at the end of the cliff, which was not an exit, but an end with three sides of the cliff.
"It can't be, right?" Merlin raised his head and looked up. He had already guessed something.
"Are you following Su Tang?" Lu Ping asked him.
"Can't you just jump up?" Morin asked him.
"I can't fly." Lu Ping said.
"When you jumped down the cliff just now, I really thought you could fly." Morin said seriously.
"You think too much." Lu Ping said.
"Follow us." Leng Qing didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, and began to climb up the steep cliff. Compared to going down, it was obviously a bit more strenuous. But the three from the Dark Academy seemed to be no stranger to this, and jumped very skillfully. Being carried by Su Tang this time, Morin was still trembling with fear. He suddenly realized that Lu Ping's one step and one scare seemed pretty good.
Fortunately, the cliff on this side wasn't as high as when they went down. The few of them didn't have any accidents, and finally jumped out of the cliff. In front of them was a hillside, and in front of them was a tall mountain. Morin was physically and mentally exhausted, and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"We'll reach after passing two more mountains." Leng Qing said.
"Do we still need to do this?" Morin asked.
"There's no difference to you, right?" Leng Qing said.
Morin's problem was too obvious. After traveling together for so long, Leng Qing and the others had also noticed, and Morin didn't treat it as a secret. Indeed, for someone without a soul of strength, he was no different from an ordinary person when it came to traversing mountains and rivers. If one didn't pass through Yandang Pass, it was as Leng Qing said, there was no path at all. The path they were taking now, even the weaker practitioners or those without the corresponding ability couldn't complete the entire journey, not to mention ordinary people.
Morin didn't have enough ability, and it was the kind that was seriously lacking. Hearing Leng Qing say this, he couldn't say anything, and could only follow silently. When he was tired and couldn't walk anymore, he would ask Lu Ping and Su Tang for help without any reservation. The group spent the night in the mountains again, and finally passed the last mountain the next day. What they saw before them was the bitter cold outside the pass, a world of ice and snow. The cold in the mountains was nothing compared to this. The current cold was not something that practitioners could resist with their physical qualities, and they actually had to circulate their soul power to resist it.
Coming down from the mountain and stepping into the snowy plains, it was all white on three sides, and they couldn't distinguish anything at all. Lu Ping and Su Tang looked at each other, and remembered that when they escaped from the organization, they faced this boundless snowy plains.
Leng Qing was still walking at the front. They left deep footprints on the snowy ground. But they didn't seem to mind at all that this would expose their tracks, because the snowflakes that filled the sky didn't seem to have any plans to rest, and the footprints they left behind would be covered up again in no time.
Morin's ability to resist the cold was no problem, but walking in the snow was a difficult task. Previously, Leng Qing said that they would arrive after two more mountains, but now he knew that she was only talking about the bitter cold outside the pass. As for where the Dark Academy or their village was, he still had no idea.
"How much longer do we need to walk?" Morin couldn't help but ask.
"Two days." Leng Qing said.
"Two more days!" Morin was shocked.
"We can't stop for these two days, there's no way to spend the night in the snow." Leng Qing said.
Morin looked at the footprints that were quickly smoothed out by the snow, and knew that Leng Qing was right. With the way the snow was falling, who knew how thick it would be overnight. If they were to sleep in the open, they would probably be buried alive several times in one night.
After walking in the snow for half a day, the Yandang Mountain behind them could no longer be seen. In the boundless snowy plains, a large flag stood strangely in front of them, swaying in the wind and snow, but emitting a metallic clang. It was actually an iron flag.
"What is this?" Lu Ping and the other two asked.
"This is the Fourth Entrance, the place where the Dark Academy parted ways." Ying Xiao looked up at the flag and said.
"Then what does this flag mean?" Morin asked.
"It's probably a symbol." Ying Xiao said, "Some people say that this is the last bit of pride of the Dark Academy."
After saying this, he had already walked forward, together with Leng Qing and Xu Weifeng. The three of them, who usually had their own quirks, were now guarding one side each, standing under the large flag with solemn expressions, each of them muttering something in a low voice, as if they were carrying out some kind of ritual.
The wind blew past, and the fluttering large flag suddenly unfurled, welcoming Lu Ping and the other two. Four familiar words immediately appeared in front of the three of them.
"Overtake the Big Four? So Old Guo was plagiarizing! "Morin cried out in surprise.
