Path of light

Chapter 238 239. Mountain climbing 2

Sabrina and Miss Christine were equally exhausted.

It was only half a day, and when everyone took a break, they didn't chat much. Everyone wanted to save some energy and continue on their way later.

Everyone has the same safety rope tied around their waists. Instructor Eleanor, who is walking in front, will insert an iron drill into the rock crevice at regular intervals and hang the rope up.

Instructor Gru is at the back of the team. He is responsible for retracting the iron drills inserted into the cracks along the way so that the iron drills can be used alternately...

Instructor Nora touched his pocket, which contained some stamina potions. However, the first day had not passed yet, so it was obviously not the time to use these stamina potions.

While resting, Roy carefully used the 'Low Light Illumination Technique', and a faint ball of holy light floated up. The warm holy light has a little healing and restorative effect, and it will be particularly comfortable when it shines on people.

Everyone sat on the edge of the cliff, leaning against the stone wall, quietly enjoying the restorative effect of this shimmering light.

"Roy, luckily Instructor Nora pulled you into the adventure group." Instructor Eleanor said with her eyes closed. It seemed that the instructors were also very tired.

However, the instructor is a first-level warrior after all. Instructor Nora has even reached the peak stage of a first-level warrior. In terms of strength and physical strength, she is far superior to Roy, Sabrina and Miss Christine.

"I can also bless the 'blessing of strength', but my sacred power is currently not enough to support all members to have the blessing of strength at the same time." Roy whispered.

He felt that after saying a few words, his mouth became very dry.

"Give it to yourself. Sabrina and Christine only need to bless them with power. There is no need to maintain the blessing of power along the way." Instructor Nora said.

"Okay, instructors, you can call me anytime if you need anything."

Roy stood up carefully and said.

Performing magic on this cliff is really a great test of courage. Looking at the abyss below will make people a little uneasy. You have to draw the divine patterns perfectly and recite prayers in conjunction. It’s really a bit difficult.

Roy failed twice in a row before completing a spell.

There was sweat on his forehead, and he started to cast the spell again without wiping it off, but this time it was much smoother and he succeeded in the first try.

With the blessing of strength, it was much easier for Sabrina and Christine to climb on the cliff. The adventure group would rest for a quarter of an hour every two hours of climbing on average.

The adventure group only walked a short distance in the afternoon. At almost three o'clock, the guide Margery took everyone to a crack in the mountain wall. There was actually a resting space sheltered from the wind and rain.

I thought we would get into sleeping bags tonight, and then fix the sleeping bags on the cliff, and everyone would sleep hanging on the cliff all night...

I didn't expect to find such a cave. Although it is impossible to set up a tent and the cave seems not very clean. There are some bat droppings and some small reptiles such as scorpions everywhere, but this is not a good choice for adventurers. What kind of……

Instructor Eleanor is an elf ranger with extensive experience in jungle life, and has many ways to deal with these poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Soon the cave inside the mountain wall was cleaned up, and Roy and Sabrina also cleaned up the bat droppings...

Scarlett Magic had an easier time climbing the griffon barrier this time because she had been riding on the magic handle since she started climbing. She always followed the team and flew slowly to avoid being discovered by the griffins in the sky.

Around this mountain range, the griffins are the masters of the sky.

Everyone slept in the cave, and the wind blew all night.

The whistling wind blew out from the cracks in the rocks, and it always made people feel like rocks might fall down. Roy didn't sleep well that night. He began to worry about the flower of light growing in the hotel in Barrier Village. , but when exploring, I can’t take the potted flower with me.

…

Sabrina and Kristen didn't sleep well at night either.

They were all reflecting on the battle during the day. Sabrina had to protect Christine and Scarlett Wizard, so she retreated far away from the gryphon. When she came over, the battle was already over.

Miss Christine failed to shoot an arrow, which made her feel a little guilty.

When the iron will on the gryphon disappeared, she had a chance to take action, but she hesitated. She was worried that her arrow would hurt Instructor Nora, so she gave up the only chance to take action.

When Christine closed her eyes, what lingered in her mind was the gryphon covered in steel. It almost accelerated and fell from a high altitude, like a cannonball, when it hit the rock wall, It actually smashed the cliff into pieces.

Powerful impact...

Shocking scene...

If it were to hit her, she felt that she would not be able to avoid it.

After a while, the scene of Roy being buried in the rubble appeared in her mind again. At that time, she and Sabrina were running desperately towards the battlefield.

But Instructor Gru was right next to Roy. He walked over, grabbed Roy's arm, and lifted him directly out of the rubble. At that time, his face was covered with blood, and he thought he would die, which made her I stood aside crying and bursting into tears, but in the end I was only slightly injured...

Then she thought of the time on Partington Island, when she was lying in a forest clearing in despair. The human in prison uniform threw himself on her with an evil look on her face. His skirt was torn, and then he fell straight up. On his own body, blood was spurting out from his mouth and nose.

Miss Christine, who was born in a noble family, has lived in Castletown for more than a hundred years. What she has seen, heard and experienced these days has made her feel extremely confused.

After thinking wildly for a while, he fell asleep amidst the howling of the strong wind.

…

Every time when your physical strength is about to reach its limit, you will feel the 'blessing of strength', and then the strength in your body will continue to recover quickly, your physical strength will also slowly recover, and then you will be able to keep up with other members of the adventure group.

This situation can be regarded as the most realistic portrayal of Sabrina and Christine spending a few days together.

The biggest enemy in climbing this steep mountain wall is not the griffins in the sky, but yourself...

Walking on the steep mountain walls every day, there are very limited places to rest. They always exhaust all their strength frequently, and then wait for the strength to slowly grow.

Sabrina felt like she had broken through her physical limits several times and recovered quickly.

She had a feeling that she would be promoted again soon.

After being promoted to another level, Sabrina would be a ninth-level warrior, and she was only one step away from her first class change.

She has decided that she wants to be a sword dancer.

…

The higher we climb to the top of the mountain, the lower the surrounding temperature becomes. It is already the fourth day of climbing the mountain wall.

The howling mountain wind made the members shiver with cold, and the cliffs became as cold as ice. After being touched for a long time, all ten fingers became stiff and red and swollen. The howling wind almost swept everyone under the cliff. .

Roy wrapped himself tightly in his cloak, and from time to time he would look at the griffins lingering in the sky.

In the morning, a griffon discovered them and launched an attack on them. However, the griffin's 'iron will' was activated a little late. Perhaps it was not high enough and could not swoop in quickly.

Instructor Gru seized the opportunity and shot a penetrating arrow with almost all his strength.

Roy saw the shadow of a great elf archer overlap with the body of Instructor Gru. When the arrow was shot, a clear trajectory appeared in the sky.

It was already too late for the griffin to arouse its 'Iron Will'. The arrow penetrated from the griffin's mouth and came out from the butt, bringing out a stream of blood.

Then, the griffin's body hit the cliff uncontrollably. Without stimulating the iron will, the griffin's body hit the rock wall and suddenly became a mess.

Instructor Eleanor climbed to the rock wall and picked up a blood-stained magic core from the griffon corpse stuck to the rock wall.

Instructor Gru, however, stood calmly in the team, his face still expressionless.

Pass No. 3 can already be seen.

This was the second griffon the adventure group encountered, but the whole process was so simple... Instructor Gru only shot one arrow, and the battle was over.

Roy thought everyone was going to hang on the cliff and fight to the death with this gryphon!

The mountain wall in front of him suddenly turned into a huge gap. Finally, there was no need to walk on this mountain road with a cliff on one side. Roy felt that his legs were a little weak...

"Ahead is the South Wind Trail. This valley connects to Pass No. 3, so strong winds blow in the valley all year round. When we pass through this valley, we need to go against the wind. You must lower your center of gravity to avoid being blown away by the wind. Otherwise, your bodies will not even be found..."

Guide Margery stood on the cliff and shouted to the members of the adventure group.

Before approaching this valley, Roy had no idea what the guide Margery meant...

When the adventure group walked along the cliff into the mountain path, the strong wind instantly deformed Roy's face.

Roy's body retreated involuntarily, and his hands could not hold the stone wall beside him no matter what...

If he hadn't been wearing a safety rope, he would have been pulled back by Instructor Gru.

He might be flying like a kite at this moment.

A pebble was caught in the wind and hit Roy's face. Half of his face felt numb.

Roy thought that the magic pattern structure contained stone skin and iron armor, so he activated the magic pattern structure.

After a while, Roy found that he dared to stand up straight on the Nanfeng Trail. He stood firmly on the mountain path like a stone. Even the instructors were somewhat impressed by Roy's performance.

Roy reached behind him.

Sabrina was slightly startled, looked up at Roy, and handed over her hand.

Holding Roy's big hand was like holding a cold rock, but at the same time, it felt as if the body had an anchor point and was no longer likely to be blown away by the wind at any time.

Sabrina looked at Roy with a puzzled look. In her impression, Roy was just a trainee priest. Although he had made rapid progress recently, he was far behind her in terms of strength and agility. Woolen cloth!

But now, Roy is like a rock standing in the valley.

Suddenly, Roy's figure became much taller in Sabrina's eyes.
