Chapter 28: Breaking Through the Pass

  As that guy named Zhao Xincheng successfully broke through, the people below also became excited and eager to move.

  Then, Xiao Teng and the others who were standing on the other side seemed to have discussed it among themselves, nodded one by one, and then rushed towards Tuzi Ridge together. Seeing this scene, everyone knew that these people had finally become impatient.

  Only these few people also disappeared after a few ups and downs, while the crowd below finally burst out thoroughly, rushing towards Tuchibei frantically.

  Xia Cheng saw it with his own eyes, but he didn't have the slightest intention of taking action, while Lin Shuang beside him seemed to be a bit anxious, looking at Xia Cheng's rolling eyeballs.

  "Wait a minute, there are too many people, it's easy to cause casualties." Si Cheng said calmly.

  As soon as the words fell, a mournful cry was heard, and people were seen rolling down from the steep cliffs on both sides of Tuzi Ridge. From time to time, there were scenes of blood flying everywhere. However, even so, many people in the rear still dared not to die and rushed forward bravely.

  Seeing this scene, Lin Shuang also clicked her tongue, "Really a group of fools, so many people crowded together, even if they saw the landmine, could they dodge?"

  Sai Cheng speechlessly smiled, looks like this guy isn't stupid after all.

  As more and more people fell, the number of people catching up from behind finally decreased a lot. Only a few dozen people who were really lucky made it through, and this was only the first pass. There were still two more checkpoints in the back, and I didn't know how many people would be able to get through all of them in the end.

  "It's almost done, let's go too."

  Seeing no one else coming forward, Si Cheng looked at Lin Shuang beside him, who was equally shocked, and said with a light smile.

  Then they looked at each other and said in unison: "Good luck!"

  He smiled faintly, took a deep breath, and gazed at the Tuzi Ridge in front of him before suddenly dashing off with lightning speed.

  This can be said to be the fastest speed of Si Cheng now, in order not to have any accidents, it's better to go all out. When Si Cheng stepped on the Tǔ Cì Ridge, he felt a wave of fluctuations under his feet, and then there was a rolling motion, with roots of thorns emerging from the ground one after another. The material of those thorns is unknown, neither metal nor wood, with sharp tips like needles, extremely sharp. If you're not careful, you might get hurt, and then you won't have any chance to pass through.

  However, this ground spike also has a certain rule. Not only does it pause for a few seconds after appearing once, but each time it appears, not all places have it, and some empty spaces are absolutely safe. As long as you observe carefully, you can still find out why Cai Cheng didn't move for a long time below.

  After mastering certain rules, Si Cheng felt that this pass was not as difficult as he had imagined. Left and right, up and down, even the sharpest thorns could not pose any threat to him.

  Half an hour later, Si Cheng standing on the mountain top looked at the dense black dots below and also let out a helpless sigh.

  "Also wishing you good luck!"

  Then went down the mountain.

  In front of him was a very spacious road, with dense forests on both sides. The towering trees seemed to be telling the ancient and distant stories of this place. Occasionally, he could still hear the calls of flying birds, and Xi Cheng felt his heart relaxed and joyful as he walked along.

  Not seeing a single person, it seems a bit desolate, but this has no effect on Si Cheng. Looking at the big road ahead, he sped away at his fastest speed.

  As the tree shadows retreated, Si Cheng finally saw human figures again. In front of him were over a dozen young men, with remnants of wounds on their clothes. These people should be those lucky guys from before. They were walking at a leisurely pace, occasionally bursting into laughter.

  As the laughter echoed, Si Cheng also quickly passed by, and in order to enter the Xiu Dao sect, Si Cheng didn't want any delays on this road.

  An hour later, a large mountain appeared in front of us, and the wide road also ended here, and nothing could be seen anymore. In the middle of the mountain, there was a cave, surrounded by solid rocks, bare and without any plants, it seemed that even the moss that relied on for survival was not visible at all. And in front of the cave, there was also a stone tablet with three large characters "Hanjing Cave".

  It's just different that under the three big characters, there is a line of small words, which clearly states "Do not enter without great courage, otherwise you will be in danger of your life." Just this line of words would make those who are timid retreat.

  He stood in front of the stone tablet, and after a long time, a hint of determination flashed across his face. He clenched his fists and walked towards the cave with a firm step.

  As I walked into the cave, it suddenly became dark like a solar eclipse, and only a very weak light could be seen. The surrounding rocks of the cave were all composed of stone, about two meters wide, and in front of me, I could vaguely see a small white dot, which should be the exit of this Wind Cave.

  With a glimmer of hope, Cai Cheng flew out with quick strides, but just then, a shout came from beside him.

  "Oh..."

  A gust of wind that wasn't very strong blew onto Si Cheng's body.

  "Shi" Cheng couldn't help but shudder.

  "This wind is so cool, cold wind, this pass should be the wind." Si Cheng stabilized his body shape and continued to move forward.

  "Wow... Whoosh..."

  Gusts of cold wind blew towards Sicong, feeling that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult to breathe.

  A burst of sound came, and a rent appeared in the front of Si Cheng's garment; the cold wind rushed in through this opening.

  A sharp gust of wind like a razor blade blew into his chest, and he felt an instant pain more painful than being cut by a knife.

  He hastily activated the "Muscle Refining and Marrow Washing Technique", but that biting cold wind seemed to be blowing tirelessly, causing Si Cheng to stumble left and right for a moment.

  "No way, I must hold on." Si Cheng looked at the white dot in front of him, which had grown much larger. He knew that victory was within reach, but for now, he seemed to have no energy left.

  "I won't give up, I absolutely can't. My parents are still waiting for me to come home, Qing Shi is still waiting for me to go back and save him. I must hold on."

  His teeth chattered, his body shook uncontrollably, but Si Cheng clenched his jaws tightly and took heavy steps forward with great difficulty.

  One step, two steps...

  "Oh oh oh..."

  A gust of even colder wind blew in, and Si Cheng's body became unstable, directly falling to the ground and crashing into the hard rock wall of the cave. Fresh blood flowed out from his body, but it was immediately blown dry by the cold wind, forming a large scab.

  Rolling on the icy ground, his body transmitted a bone-chilling pain, but he didn't want to give up and wouldn't give up, making an effort to maintain a clear mind, slowly crawling forward.

  The white dot in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, as if he could already see the beautiful and enchanting world outside the white dot. However, Si Cheng's line of sight was becoming more and more blurred, his consciousness weaker, but relying on a strong obsession, he continued to crawl slowly.

  Time slowly passed, and at the entrance of the cave was a figure lying down. This figure was Si Cheng, who had braved the Cold Wind Cave. When Si Cheng was unable to resist the strong cold winds, he relied on his unyielding determination to persevere. At the moment he reached the exit, he gazed up at the azure sky and revealed a hint of a nostalgic smile before losing consciousness.
