Chapter 481 The Fog Returns
Zhao Ya and Kuang Zongfa were walking in the middle of the team. There were people in front responsible for exploring the road, and people behind them carrying equipment.
So although climbing this endless mountain is both difficult and dangerous, the two of them walked leisurely and even felt like they were out for an outing to relax.
However, this smoothness soon came to an abrupt end.
After they climbed for about a day and night, the situation began to become subtle.
First of all, the mountains are getting more steep and the roads are getting more and more rugged.
Secondly, as the altitude increases, the air gradually becomes thinner and the temperature becomes lower and lower.
Although Kuang Zongfa had already prepared for this and ordered people to prepare all kinds of cold-proof clothing in advance, the speed of travel inevitably slowed down.
They climbed up like this for a whole day. At night, someone finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell down and couldn't get up again.
Compared to these subordinates, Kuang Zongfa's condition is much better.
After all, he has top martial arts skills, so this difficulty can't help him.
The same goes for Zhao Ya, even more relaxed than Kuang Zongfa showed.
Kuang Zongfa looked solemn and said, "No, these people have become a drag now, and we cannot let them go with us anymore."
"Then let your men go down the mountain and wait." Zhao Ya said.
"No, what if they go down the mountain and we don't get any supplies when we come back?"
Kuang Zongfa directly rejected Zhao Ya's proposal, and then ordered his men to camp in the extreme cold to wait for the return of the two of them.
After giving the instructions, Kuang Zongfa and Zhao Ya continued to climb.
By the way, there is Liu Yuhuan.
This little girl was actually the most relaxed one in the audience.
Even under the biting cold, he was still wearing thin clothes, but his expression did not change.
The three of them climbed all night in one breath. When the sky brightened, the three of them looked up and saw that the red sun seemed to be right above their heads and could be touched with their hands.
At this time, they no longer knew how high they had climbed. Anyway, they had passed through more than one layer of thick clouds, but the road in front of them still had no end. It felt as if they were really ascending to the sky.
Under this situation, even Kuang Zongfa, who was confident before, couldn't help but murmur at this moment.
Because he didn't know how long he would have to continue climbing.
At this moment, a hazy fog suddenly appeared around him.
The fog came extremely quickly, as if a white curtain was suddenly pulled up between heaven and earth. Almost instantly, everything around him was covered by the fog that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
Zhao Ya's expression changed, because he was so familiar with this mist.
The fog that enveloped the entire Wuwu Sea back then was very similar to the fog this time.
The same blocking of sight, the same blocking of perception.
"What's going on? This mist can actually block my spiritual thoughts!" Kuang Zongfa's slightly frightened shout came from the side.
"Don't panic, Yuhuan, are you there?" Zhao Ya shouted in a deep voice.
"I am here!"
Following the words, Liu Yuhuan's little hand held the corner of Zhao Ya's clothes.
"This fog is weird. We can't act rashly now. Let's wait where we are and wait for the fog to dissipate before we act." Zhao Ya said.
"good!"
It's now time, no matter how anxious Kuang Zongfa is, he can only listen to Zhao Ya's opinion.
Although they couldn't tell the surrounding environment, fortunately, they were in a clearing in the mountains.
Relying on their memory, Zhao Ya and Kuang Zongfa fumbled to set up the tent, then got inside and began to rest.
At this time, you can see how well prepared Kuang Zongfa is. He even brought a small portable stove. As long as special kerosene is added, it can burn all night and can be used for heating and lighting.
Although neither Zhao Ya nor Kuang Zongfa felt cold, in this environment, having a bright light source can still make people feel more at ease.
After boiling a pot of water, the three of them made a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly.
"Damn, I don't know when this fog will dissipate. If people from other sects catch up, it will be troublesome."
From time to time, Kuang Zongfa would open the tent and look outside, but the fog outside showed no sign of dissipating, which made him extremely anxious.
In contrast, Zhao Ya behaved much calmer.
"This fog probably won't dissipate in a short time. It's useless for you to worry. But the good news is that this fog attacks indiscriminately, so even if other sects catch up, you have to wait patiently." Zhao Ya said.
"That's what I said, but I still feel a little unsure in my heart!" Kuang Zongfa said worriedly.
He has staked all his fortune on this treasure hunting trip, and once what he is doing now is known to the sect, he will be severely punished and may even lose his life.
That's why he behaves so impatiently.
But the fog didn't care about that at all. Instead of weakening, it became thicker and thicker.
In desperation, Kuang Zongfa had no choice but to lower the door curtain.
"I'll take a rest first."
"Okay!" Zhao Ya responded.
Kuang Zongfa fell asleep, and soon he started snoring.
Zhao Ya and Liu Yuhuan sat opposite each other.
Liu Yuhuan took off the hairpin on his head and gently played with the ashes on the stove.
"grown ups!"
"Um?"
"What do you think the top of the Endless Mountain will look like?"
"have no idea!"
Zhao Ya did not lie about this, because from his understanding, there should not be such a huge mountain in the world.
"I think this mountain must lead to the sky, maybe we can see immortals on it!" Liu Yuhuan said with a smile.
Immortals?
Zhao Ya laughed at himself.
To be honest, he has been looking for traces of immortals over the years.
After taking over the black ship, he kept looking up information.
But whether it is the historical records of the Ten Thousand Worlds or the oral narration of Shi Bolong, Zhao Ya did not find any traces of immortals in this world.
Although the warriors in the Divine Wandering Realm are called the True Immortals of Martial Arts, it is just a respectful title for people, and it is not the same as the real immortals.
The end of the strength of this world seems to be the Divine Wandering Realm, and it stops abruptly afterwards.
This once made Zhao Ya a little disappointed.
Because as far as his current lifespan is concerned, it is a sure thing to be promoted to the Divine Wandering Realm, but if this is the end, then wouldn’t the rest of his life be too boring?
There are legends about immortals in the world, but no one has ever seen one, so many people just regard it as a legend.
But Zhao Ya doesn't think so.
Because there are various signs that these legends are not completely groundless.
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about this Endless Mountain.
Such a mountain that violates the laws of physics should not exist.
But it exists, so there must be a reason.
Seeing that Zhao Ya fell into silence, Liu Yuhuan did not dare to disturb him, but lowered her head and fiddled with the silver hairpin in her hand.
But at this moment, she suddenly glanced at the tarpaulin not far away, and the shadow cast by the firelight had unexpectedly...an extra one!
