Hou Fei nodded in agreement. “Indeed, it’s only two sections. Looks like this mission to climb the mountain is very difficult.”
Chen Qiyue drank the water thoughtfully.
Yuwen Bo did not rush them. He merely stood at the side, clearly giving them time to rest.
Ten minutes later, Yuwen Bo said, “Alright, 800 meters ahead is the path up the mountain. The real climb has yet to begin.”
Hearing this, Chen Qiyue, Wen Xiangqin, and Hou Fei looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
In fact, they were prepared for this, but when Instructor Yuwen really said it, they still felt like they were done for.
There was nothing special about the 800-meter road at the foot of the mountain. When they stood at the foot of the mountain and saw the road Yuwen Bo mentioned, everyone was stunned.
“This, this is the road up the mountain?” Gu Qiaoqiao swallowed and stared at the “road” in front of her in disbelief.
Wen Xiangqin, Hou Fei, and the others all gasped. Even the top few people widened their eyes and looked at the “road” in front of them.
It could no longer be called a “road” because in front of them was a smooth and steep cliff.
On the cliff, there were round bumps that stretched up like a path.
“This, this is rock climbing?” Chen Qiyue was stunned. He did not expect that the real meaning of climbing mountains was really to climb mountains. “That’s right. You all need to cross this mountain,” Yuwen Bo said indifferently.
“By the way, let me remind you. If you have flying Fantastic Beasts, it’s best to take them out and let them take care of you.”
“There’s no life-saving rope here. Once you fall from it, you can only save yourselves.”
His words made everyone, including Chen Qiyue, turn pale.
“What, what if there are no flying Fantastic Beasts?” Someone’s lips were trembling. Clearly, he was talking about himself.
Yuwen Bo raised his eyebrows. “There’s someone who doesn’t have a flying Fantastic Beast? Alright, then ask me for a lease. Rent for a day and give an hour of Transfer Time.”
“Ah? What? What transfer time?” Everyone present was stunned.
“After you finish training, I will naturally explain. I can only tell you this. Your time is valuable. Transferring the time of your selection will definitely affect your selection.”
Yuwen Bo said calmly, “But if you don’t have flying Fantastic Beasts, you can only ask me for rent.”
“Of course, it’s also possible for you to sign a contract on the spot.”
Yuwen Bo pointed at the other mountain behind him, “That mountain is a small wild feeding ground. It’s filled with flying Fantastic Beasts. However, because these Fantastic Beasts hate humans, ordinary Feeding Houses don’t accept them and they are placed in the wild feeding ground.”
“If you don’t want to ask me for a rental, you can sign one yourself.”
“But I have to remind you that you have to complete the climb once in a day on average in a month, but there’s no limit to the time you can complete it.”
“You can come and climb the mountain every day, or you can come and climb the mountain 30 times on the last day of a month.”
“But if you can’t complete it, the consequences will be very serious.”
Yuwen Bo turned around and looked at Chen Qiyue and the others. “Let me tell you a conclusion. Ever since the start of the training, no one has failed to climb the mountain 30 times. There will only be more.”
“If any of you do it less than 30 times, you will be a disgrace to our Snake Organization.”
The word “disgrace” naturally shocked everyone present.
In fact, even though they had to rent it from the instructor, with their pride, they would most likely not choose this path.
Therefore, they would either borrow it from their companions or go to the mountain behind to sign a contract.
However, the Beast Tamer’s Fantastic Beast position was so precious. If it was given to an ordinary flying Fantastic Beast, they would probably be unwilling.
Especially these top geniuses in the Double Purple Domain.
It had to be known that even in the Double Purple Domain’s Feeder Base, those outstanding genius Feeders were not chosen. Only Chen Qiyue entered this selection.
The 13 people selected were definitely top talents. How could they be willing to sign a contract with an ordinary Fantastic Beast?
Therefore, many people subconsciously looked at the people who had several flying Fantastic Beasts.
A few people looked at Chen Qiyue.
Among his six Fantastic Beasts, there were the Skeleton Dragon, the Giant Ugly Fish, and the Serene Snow Girl. They could all fly.
Although the Serene Snow Girl and the Giant Ugly Fish didn’t fly high, it should be easy to pick them up.
Not to mention that the Serene Snow Girl did not look weak, the cloud skill of the Giant Ugly Fish also left a deep impression on them.
When Yuwen Bo saw the gazes of those people, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He did not say anything and took the lead to walk towards the cliff.
“This time, because I didn’t let you bring the Fantastic Beast, I’ll bring you up this cliff first.”
As he spoke, Yuwen Bo waved his sleeve, and a huge white summoning array appeared behind him.
“Chirp Ø ‘ A crisp and long sound appeared under the sky.
A huge Colored Crown Bird with five-colored feathers flew out of the summoning array and stopped on the ground.
This Colored Crown Bird was 30 to 40 meters long and had a slightly wide back. It was not a problem for more than ten people to stand.
The five-colored tail feathers flickered under the sunlight with traces of
Fantastic Beast energy, dazzling everyone.
This Colored Crown Bird’s strength was extraordinary. It was obvious that it was at least at the Guardian level.
Chen Qiyue and the others suppressed the shock in their hearts and followed Yuwen Bo onto the back of the bird.
The Colored Crown Bird flapped its wings and slowly rose into the sky. It flew steadily towards the top of the cliff.
The cliff was very high, as if the mountain had been cut open.
At the top of the cliff was the top of this mountain.
There was a platform at the top of the mountain. It was a platform paved with stone slabs.
The Colored Crown Bird flew to the center of the platform and landed. Yuwen Bo, Chen Qiyue, and the others got off the bird.
On the platform, there were actually squares. In front of the platform, there was a small pavilion. In the pavilion, there were two stacks of futon cushions neatly placed.
“What’s this futon for?” someone asked curiously.
Yuwen Bo walked forward and picked up the top cushion. Then, he placed it in the middle of the square boxes.
“This is a futon for you.”
He sat cross-legged on the futon. “When you successfully climb over the cliff, you need to sit on the futon and meditate to recover your strength.”
He explained in detail, and everyone listened especially seriously.
“Firstly, you have spent a lot of energy climbing the cliff and need to recover.
Secondly, the air on this mountaintop is the freshest. If you can encounter the sunrise, you can absorb the minute energy of the morning sun. It will be quite beneficial to you in the future.”
Chen Qiyue took a notebook and quickly recorded it down.
Instructor Yuwen suggested that they climb over the cliff to the top of the mountain before sunrise and absorb the energy at sunrise.
“It’s best to use the Five Hearts To the Sky Technique when you recover.”
Yuwen Bo displayed what it meant to have five hearts facing the sky. Then, he stood up and placed the futon cushion back into the small pavilion.
“Next is to go down the mountain.” The corners of Yuwen Bo l s mouth curled up again. “As the saying goes, it’s easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down.”
Hearing this, Chen Qiyue and the others’ hearts skipped a beat again.
The cliff was already up, and it was still easy? Then how difficult would it be to get down the mountain?
Chen Qiyue and the others were extremely nervous as they followed Yuwen Bo to the other side of the platform.
The other side of the platform was not like what they had imagined. It was not a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den. Instead, it was just steps made of stone slabs, making them a little confused.
Why was it so difficult to go down the mountain on these steps?
After following Yuwen Bo down a flight of stairs, everyone looked at the scene in front of them and their faces turned incomparably pale again.
The stairs extended down and happened to be connected to a small platform.
Standing on the small platform, they could see where they lived, the bamboo forest, and the path.
However, at one end of the path was a row of pillars made of silver metal. Those pillars were all connected by silver metal rods to the small platform they were standing on.
However, other than this, they did not see any other way down the mountain.
An ominous feeling suddenly arose in their hearts..
