Yingyang Academy does not have a mysterious weapon like the Three Spirits Xuanbo, but it has also enabled a disk-type formation. However, their formation is one-time use and is gone once it is consumed.
After another hour, people from the remaining six sects finally came up one after another, but there were only eight people, a full six people less.
These eight people stationed themselves on the other side of the Jiuyaoshan team.
Among them, only No. 1 of the Yanyun Sect and No. 1 of the Longhu Sect knew some rudimentary formations, and this formation could only be maintained by continuously inputting spiritual energy. Therefore, the rest agreed to contribute some of the elixirs. to compensate for their losses.
In this way, the three teams began their long wait.
An hour passed quietly, and no one came up. They laughed at the Xinghu Sect for being so bad, and the Huangshan Sect for not being good enough.
Another hour passed, but still no one came up, and they laughed even harder.
However, some people began to worry that they might not take the main road but take a fork in the road. But some people think that they are still down there for two reasons: first, it is more difficult to go astray, and second, the people left behind in the small sect have also not come up yet.
So, after some discussion, they decided to wait for another two hours.
However, two hours later, they only saw two of the small sects. Fortunately, one of them had seen the teams of the Xinghu Sect and Huangshan Sect.
Only then did they confirm that Su Xing and the others had gone astray and missed them.
"Damn it! Su Xing, you bastard, you took a side road instead of taking a good road."
Ning Zhou cursed.
After the other sects heard this, they didn't buy it. They felt that Jiuyaoshan had a bad idea, which not only wasted time, but also consumed the pills.
Ning Zhou was very embarrassed. In order to appease everyone, he had to give some pills to the six small sects as compensation, which allowed them to eliminate their grievances.
At this time, it was already dark and they should rest. However, they were afraid of falling behind the Xinghu Sect and Huangshan Sect and giving them an advantage, so they did not continue to rest and chose to move forward.
What's terrible is that they didn't learn from Su Xing's approach and rushed to the top of the mountain independently.
The wind is blowing with knives and the snow arrows are biting. This is the stupidest way to deplete the self's reserves. It also makes the weaker people more miserable and even creates serious rifts and resentments.
When they walked out of the Wind Sword Snow Arrow area, most of them had consumed a large amount of vitality pills. Moreover, only the No. 1 disciple from each of the six large and small sects came out, and the rest either fell behind or stayed forever. In the ice and snow.
However, what made them despair was that walking out of the Wind Blade Snow Arrow area did not mean reaching the top of the mountain. It only meant that they could see the top of the mountain, and there was a more terrifying area waiting for them.
Ning Zhou was still the first to enter the new area.
In the new area, the sky is cloudless and blue, the roads are easy to walk, and the views are unobstructed, so there is no need to worry about any unknown dangers.
Ning Zhou was so excited that he couldn't help but use his strength to jump several times in succession. If it weren't for the stronger gravity, he would have liked to fly to the top of the mountain.
Then, he discovered a new problem, that is, there was no spiritual energy in this area, and breathing was extremely difficult. After a few jumps, he was out of breath and felt his legs were weak. My chest feels tight and my head feels dizzy.
He didn't understand why, he just thought it was because he was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of environment. He immediately adjusted his breathing, but found that it was of no use at all. Instead, his symptoms of chest tightness and dizziness became more serious, and his body felt like lead.
So, he took one of the few vitality pills he had left. As soon as I replenished my spiritual energy, my body felt stronger and my chest tightness was much better, but I still felt dizzy.
So, he took the soul pill to replenish the power of the soul. After taking the soul pill, his dizziness was relieved a lot.
After feeling slightly relieved, he began to carefully observe his surroundings. When he saw that there was not even a blade of grass in this area, it was all bare stones, and he felt a shiver in his heart:
"No, there's something weird here!"
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to go up any further, let alone go to Su Xing and the others. He just wanted to wait for his fellow disciples to come up.
But while waiting, the feeling of chest tightness and dizziness unknowingly worsened, which frightened him, so he quickly returned to the area of wind, sword, snow and arrow.
In fact, Ning Zhou didn't know that this was severe hypoxia or altitude sickness.
What made him feel relieved was that as soon as he returned to the area of Wind Knife Snow Arrow, he could breathe smoothly, and the chest tightness and dizziness immediately slowed down and eventually disappeared.
Through the wind and snow, he looked at the visible blue sky high above, but an inexplicable fear actually arose in his heart. Fortunately, at this time, his classmates also caught up.
He told the strange situation above, everyone was shocked and frightened.
But in order to complete the task, they had to move forward, so they decided to go up together to experience it.
Soon, they all had similar reactions, albeit in varying degrees. Li Daxiao only felt chest tightness, No. 3 and No. 4 were the same as Ning Zhou, and No. 5 and No. 6 were very serious. The two of them were feeling dizzy, nauseous and vomiting, and had to take healing elixirs to feel better.
They are not stupid and think there is something wrong with the air here, but they don't know what the problem is.
For the sake of safety, they decided to return to the junction of the two areas and wait for Yingyang Academy to arrive before walking together.
Half a day later, seven people from Yingyang Academy and one person from each of the six major sects finally arrived.
He Yonghao, the three extraordinary people, had the mildest reaction to the altitude, followed by Feng Xiaoxiao, Liang Jun, and Li Chengliang. The rest were very serious, and they all had vomiting, and they had to consume healing pills before they could continue. persist in.
In order to continue to deal with Su Xing and Xinghu Sect later, they decided to take out a few healing pills and supply them to those who needed them most.
Then, they hurriedly set off again.
They couldn't waste any more time, because every extra breath was a waste of the elixir.
However, as you go higher, the gravity is greater, the air becomes thinner, breathing becomes more difficult, and altitude sickness becomes more and more severe.
Although Ji Zhu has entered the palace, he is still half a mortal in terms of body functions. They can survive in a state of lack of oxygen for a period of time, but they cannot remain deprived of oxygen.
As time went by, the symptoms of physical weakness, dizziness and chest tightness began to spread to more people. Those with poor strength even experienced foaming at the mouth and fainting. For this reason, they had to take vitality pills and soul pills frequently, so these two pills were consumed first.
Next, take healing elixirs.
After comparison, it was found that the elixir for treating internal injuries was more effective. As a result, the elixirs for treating internal injuries were quickly consumed.
What made them depressed was that the top of the mountain looked very close, but the real distance was still far away. After walking for a long time, they only reached the mountainside.
Soon after, the elixirs for internal injuries were also exhausted, and they had no choice but to start taking elixirs for external injuries that were not as effective.
The only female foundation builder in Jiuyao Mountain once got a Traceless Pill, which she ate after her body ached for a long time. To her surprise, the effect of the Traceless Pill was even better than the Vitality Pill and Soul Pill, so she He told Ning Zhou this information.
Ning Zhou immediately said to Li Chengliang: "Brother Li, my junior sister has taken Wuhen Danhou and feels that the effect is very good. Can you please share it with everyone?"
Li Chengliang frowned when he heard this, and felt secretly angry in his heart. Traceless Pills are so precious that they are in limited supply within the Yin Yang Sect. This time, for her safety, her father gave her two more bottles. How could she just share them casually.
"Why, is Brother Li reluctant to give up?" Ning Zhoupi said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, everyone else stared at Li Chengliang, as if they were watching him with eagerness. Especially He Yonghao, whose eyes were so sharp that Li Chengliang shuddered.
He did not dare to refuse directly, but he chuckled and said: "Well, as you all know, the Traceless Pill is a treasure of my Yin Yang Sect, and I don't have much of it!"
Ning Zhou smiled and said: "Puhang Taoist's pill furnace may have better pills than the Traceless Pill, and I can give you extra compensation at that time!"
When Li Chengliang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "The Holy Pill?"
"If we want to be beautiful, we can't decide on the Holy Pill!"
He Yonghao couldn't help but answered. His voice was cold and his breath was slightly exposed.
When Feng Xiaoxiao saw He Yonghao's words, she immediately understood what he meant and said to Li Chengliang: "I don't believe in the Holy Pill, but we can give you more of the other pills as compensation!"
Li Chengliang was extremely shocked, disappointed, and faintly angry when she saw that the person from Yingyang Academy who she could most rely on was the first to show murderous intentions. However, she knew that she was no match for them at all, so she had to settle for the second best, saying : "Well, after killing Su Xing and the people from the Xinghu Sect, I have to choose one of the treasures on Su Xing's body first!"
The Yin Yang Sect Leader had already told Su Xing about the many treasures he had obtained, and asked him to try to get the "Huangtian Houtu Order".
Ning Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and glanced at He Yonghao and Feng Xiaoxiao again.
He Yonghao's eyes flashed with strong murderous intent, but he finally nodded.
Feng Xiaoxiao sensed He Yonghao's murderous intention and sighed inwardly. She felt that the price Li Chengliang wanted was too high and he was a little ungrateful. Even if the emperor's decree was not in Su Xing's hands, if it was, it would definitely not be Li Chengliang's turn. Enjoy the cool air. Of course, she wouldn't say that. She just nodded and said, "Okay, we at Yingyang Academy have no objection!"
The corners of Ning Zhou's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly: "We at Jiuyaoshan don't have any objections either!"
The two major sects had no objections, and naturally the people from the other five sects also said they had no objections.
So Li Chengliang took out two bottles of traceless pills, with as many as 12 pills. Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. With these 12 Traceless Pills, they felt that they should be able to reach the top of the mountain.
Everyone move on.
After solving the problem of the elixir, their emotions were much higher. However, what made them uncomfortable was that as the height increased, a new difficult situation appeared.
When we were about to reach the top of the mountain, the temperature suddenly rose sharply, and the rocks under our feet were as hot as red-hot coals.
They were sweating violently, their mouths were dry, and the air was so hot that they could hardly breathe, because when they breathed in, their entire throats and lungs felt like they were on fire, causing unbearable pain.
