Chapter 3: The Yellow Spring Road on Burial Dragon Mountain

  Burial Dragon Mountain, 3,540 meters high, legend has it that a long, long time ago, this was originally an extremely vast plain. Later, a seriously injured dragon fell from the sky and landed on the plain, immediately turning into Burial Dragon Mountain.

  Of course this is just a legend, and no one has ever gone to verify it, but if you look from afar, the Burial Dragon Mountain indeed has a dragon's aura.

  Zhanglong Mountain is famous far and near, even the village where Yang Chen is located, so far away, knows about Zhanglong Mountain. Of course, it's so famous because of the Huangquan Road on Zhanglong Mountain.

  The Huangquan Road is not a real road leading to the underworld, but an extremely steep mountain road. The road is over 1,000 meters long and less than 1 meter wide, with the Burial Dragon Wall on the right and the Burial Dragon Abyss on the left.

  The Mausoleum of Dragon Wall and the Mausoleum of Dragon Abyss are also a great wonder on this Mausoleum of Dragon Mountain, famous far and near.

  The tomb of the dragon wall is high into the clouds, although it is a wall on the mountain, but it is smooth and flawless, like artificial polishing, with hands touching it, there is no rough feeling at all.

  The burial dragon abyss is the same, if someone falls from here, there is no prominent rock to grab, and it will fall directly from this steep cliff of nearly a thousand meters, the result can only be crushed to pieces.

  Along with these two great wonders, this extremely dangerous mountain road also became the Yellow Spring Road.

  In the surrounding villages, villagers all say that once you step onto the Yellow Spring Road on Mount Longshan, it's as if half of your foot has already entered the Ghost Gate.

  For many years, the number of people who fell from here is countless, but those who walked past are extremely rare. However, once they really walked past, they would become a celebrity in some village, making people admire them endlessly.

  In the morning, sunlight shone on the Longshan Mountain, dispersing some of the clouds and mist on the mountain.

  Today is August 12th, and there are still three days until the day when Tiandao Gate accepts new disciples on August 15th.

  On the Yellow Spring Road on the Burial Dragon Mountain, there were two figures at this time.

  A middle-aged man wearing a linen garment, with a bundle on his back and a rope wrapped around his waist. The other end of the rope was tied to the waist of a weak and small figure behind him.

  The two of them were indeed the father and son duo heading in the direction of the Tian Dao Sect.

  The father of two eggs looked up at this steep Yellow Spring Road and felt helpless in his heart.

  He didn't plan to leave from here, but he delayed for some time on the road. Now there are only 3 days left until August 15th. If he wants to arrive at Tiandao Sect before August 15th, he must take a risk and bring Er Dan through Huangquan Road. Otherwise, he will inevitably delay and miss the sect's recruitment day.

  When the time comes, he will have missed his son's apprenticeship and will regret it for the rest of his life.

  "Second Egg, be careful and don't look down! As long as we pass through the Burial Dragon Mountain, we'll see the Heavenly Gate!" Second Egg's father couldn't help but remind him, then slowly proceeded forward.

  The two eggs nodded cleverly, calm on the surface but extremely excited in their hearts. After all, this was the first time they had walked such a dangerous road from childhood to adulthood.

  About a quarter of an hour passed, and the father and son duo slowly and leisurely walked halfway through the journey without any danger. As long as they persisted, they could get through it.

  However, the sky had unpredictable wind and cloud, suddenly there was a flash of lightning in the sky, followed by a loud rumble of thunder, and in an instant, the sky poured down heavy rain, getting heavier and heavier.

  The father's heart tightened, thinking to himself that things were going terribly wrong. At a time like this, it was pouring rain, which was practically pushing them towards the gates of hell.

  The father of the two eggs was anxious, now they have walked to the middle position, the distance from coming and going is almost the same, neither can go forward nor retreat, don't know what to do.

  The Yellow Spring Road was eroded by the heavy rain, and it became extremely slippery. Now, Er Dan's father looked at the muddy road in front of him and didn't dare to move. At this moment, if he slipped, he would definitely fall into the Dragon Burial Abyss.

  Time passed minute by minute, and the rain grew heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping.

  The father and son were now completely soaked from the rain, Er Dan's hands were clasped to his chest, he couldn't help but shiver, a pale color appearing on his face.

  The father looked at his son, furrowed his brow, and knew that the heavy rain would not stop for a while. Even if it did, the Yellow Spring Road was extremely difficult to walk on. If they continued to wait, he and Er Dan's physical strength would be greatly consumed, making it even harder to pass through the road. Now, they could only take the risk of advancing in the rain.

  He immediately untied the rope from his waist and grasped it tightly in his hand. At this point, he could no longer tie the rope around his own waist, because if he tied it around his own waist, if he accidentally fell down, his son would also be dragged down with him.

  "Ergou, hold on tight to the rope, I'll pull you over bit by bit!" Ergou's father said with a serious face, clearly indicating that there could be no mistakes at this moment.

  Ergou listened to his father's words, his heart trembled, but he didn't show any fear, instead he nodded firmly and said, "Father, I know!"

  The father of the two eggs leaned against the wall and moved forward little by little, with the second egg following closely behind.

  The thunder in the sky grew more and more frequent, the rain fell heavier and heavier, and the muddy water on the road to the underworld grew deeper and deeper.

  Suddenly, Yang Chen's foot slipped, and before he could react, he fell straight down into the Burial Dragon Abyss.

  Ergou's father tightened his grip in his heart and hastily grabbed the rope, shouting loudly with a shocked face: "Ergou, don't move! I'll pull you back!"

  Er Gou let out a cry of alarm, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He looked down at the seemingly bottomless Dragon Burial Spring, his throat constricting as he forced himself to calm down and remain still.

  Rumble... Rumble...

  The thunder in the sky grew louder and the rain fell more urgently, a drop of rainwater hit Yang Chen's body, and it actually made him feel a sharp pain.

  "Ah!" The father of Er Dan roared with anger, using all his strength to pull Er Dan upwards.

  However, if it were usual times, Er Dan's father would have pulled Er Dan up at once, but now the ground was all muddy and slippery, and he couldn't exert his strength. Er Dan's father pulled with all his might, but instead of pulling Er Dan up, he himself slowly slid towards the Dragon Burial Spring.

  It's clear that if things continue like this, it won't be long before Er Dan's father and Er Dan fall into the Dragon Burial Well together.

  Ergou's expression changed suddenly as he watched his father getting closer and closer to the edge of the Yellow Spring Road, knowing that if this continued, he would definitely be dragged down with him.

  In an instant, Er Gou made what he thought was the right choice, which was to sacrifice himself and protect his father.

  Ergou hastily reached for the rope at his waist with his hands, wanting to untie the rope tied around his waist.
