Volume 5: A New Era Chapter 56: Climbing
Someone still needs to stay on the boat, otherwise if everyone goes up to Lingfeng Mountain, they may not even have a place to stay when they return.
This time, only Lu Bai, Wang Erya, Gou Zi and Jiang Yue decided to explore Lingfeng Mountain; everyone else stayed behind.
Among those who stayed behind were Vivi and Angel, so their fighting power was still guaranteed to a certain extent.
Of course, they also need to grasp the timing of their departure, and they should wait until most other people around them choose to explore before they set off.
And after departure, you need to leave some concealment.
The day they took off wasn't a day of doing nothing.
Although they were not professionals in the field of position building, they did know something about it.
For example, if there is sand in your eyes, it is very easy to create a cloud of icy fog on the beach.
Especially there is fog on Lingfeng Mountain.
Now the entire ship is wrapped in ice fog, and it is difficult for people outside to explore the situation on the ship.
In addition, there are copper-green bell sounds left by Lu Bai in various places. Once someone passes through the ice fog and approaches, they may touch the copper-green bell sound, and then it will suddenly explode, turning the person into a Muggle.
This is just Lu Bai's method, besides Lu Bai.
Gou Zi left a sword trap, using the prototype of "A House Full of Flowers Drunk Three Thousand Guests", and mixed the fragrance of flowers into the icy mist.
When someone takes a breath, what they inhale is not just ice mist, but more likely mixed with fine sword energy.
Hu Niu is also not as militant as she appears to be.
The three skills she displayed before, Tiger Fist, Tiger Power, and Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Earth, all seemed to be related to combat.
However, not long ago, she suddenly summoned several ghosts and minions, which appeared around her. The cold wind began to transform the surrounding environment, and she set up terrifying illusions and ghost-like moves.
Each of those minions was an almighty servant, and Lu Bai felt itchy just by looking at them.
It’s just like when Lu Bai was a kid and envied Xiaoyu’s Black Shadow Army while watching Jackie Chan Adventures.
Brushing teeth, rinsing mouth, washing clothes, cooking, doing homework and doing manicures, it's simply all-round.
At this time, Hu Niu's minions are similar, and even have various ghostly abilities, making them even more useful.
"You hid it really well." Lu Bai didn't know before that Hu Niu had the ability to summon ghosts.
"You taught me." Wang Erya smiled and didn't explain it to Lu Bai in detail.
The two have a close relationship and are strategic allies, so their positions are completely consistent in many cases.
But Lu Bai has his own desires, and Wang Erya has his own ambitions.
The two of them were open-minded, but never told each other the truth.
The two talked about romance, but never said love.
It's more like a transaction where I covet your body and you covet my ancestral chromosomes, and I just happen to need your background and you want my talent as a help.
However, in this case, the relationship between the two people is much closer than that of most couples.
After all, I know your depths, and you know my strengths and weaknesses.
After passing through the fog, a part of Lingfeng Mountain appeared in front of them.
The steep wall, starting from the place where it touches the sea, is a terrifying steep wall.
The slope of the cliff is very steep, but it is not a straight slope, but an inverted slope.
In other words, if a person climbs up, he or she will have to face the sea with his or her whole body hanging on the rock wall.
Of course, if it is a little higher, this upside-down state will be improved and become 90 degrees vertical.
As for higher, that’s hard to say.
"I somehow feel like I'm overcoming difficulties together with Bennett Foddy." Although they didn't have hammers in their hands and they weren't standing in the jar.
However, the occasional sounds of people falling into the water around him made Lu Bai want to sing a song about his happy hometown, or to speak in a pretentious tone to narrate some life philosophy.
"Let's go!" The few of them didn't stay for long. Lu Bai used the thorns in his flesh and stretched out a few bone tools to assist himself, and then he climbed up the rock wall.
As soon as he started, Lu Bai felt something different.
There is some special airflow flowing across the entire rock wall.
During this process, anything placed on it will be covered by the airflow.
The airflow even spread along the bone tool that Lu Bai stretched out and toward Lu Bai's body.
At that moment, Lu Bai was startled, and then he almost loosened the bone tool and fell down, completing his first return to his happy hometown.
This airflow has some kind of stimulation to the flesh, causing it to lose control, and Lu Bai pulled out a part of the bone tool and knocked it with a little force, and the bone was broken.
This airflow also has some property that makes matter fragile, and this is just a slight contact.
Lu Bai tried using his internal force to isolate himself and found that this airflow had good penetrability for internal force.
Even with Lu Bai's level of internal strength, he could only block the attack inefficiently.
Then he tried the sand in his eyes, using the cold air to freeze the airflow. There was no problem with this operation, but it consumed too much energy and was too troublesome to operate.
The higher you climb, the more air currents there are, rushing in from all directions along the rock walls.
There are only two ways to deal with these air currents: either try to avoid contact with them as much as possible, or put on a thick layer of armor.
Hu Niu next door had already demonstrated her superb lightness skills. With a leap and a jump, she was already to a place where Lu Bai could not see her.
Every time it landed, its claws only touched lightly before retracting.
Gou Zi used the sword power as protection, splitting the air currents as external evil, and then climbed up without being restricted by the air currents, but this might be quite exhausting for him.
Jiang Yue simply used the ability of stagnation to stop the flow of air, and he also stopped in place to study the properties of the air flow.
Lu Bai planned to use the method of stacking armor, activating the blood-stained helmet and covering it with dirty flesh.
The dirty flesh also felt some kind of stimulation when it encountered the airflow, but in comparison, it was not as great as the stimulation felt by Lu Bai's fresh flesh.
After all, dirty meat is transformed from dirty air and is essentially a dead thing.
Although this airflow is powerful, it cannot control everything.
Things that come from the death dimension have a relatively high resistance to this kind of thing.
With the protection, climbing was not too difficult for Lu Bai.
He quickly caught up with Hu Niu in front of him, while also observing the situation around him.
The slope changed from the original 90 degrees vertical to about 80 degrees, and I was able to lie slightly on the rock wall.
At the same time, the fog around the rock wall inexplicably dissipated a lot, allowing more scenes to be observed.
There are already quite a few people on the rock wall, all trying their best to climb it.
Just at the moment when Lu Bai was observing, a stone flew over at a high speed, heading straight for the bone tool in Lu Bai's hand, trying to destroy it.
