After everyone rested for a while, they moved forward again.
The mountain road winds all the way up, shrouded in thick fog, overgrown with weeds and gravel, making it increasingly difficult to walk.
In some places, there are no roads at all.
Everyone can only work hard and climb among these rocks and trees. The only good thing is that there are no poisonous snakes, insects and ants in this secret place.
This section of the road is very steep, and everyone's progress is getting slower and slower.
In addition to Gu Yuan's team, there are actually some other teams in the misty forest.
There are only Taiyin Sect disciples, but also disciples from other sects.
But because of the special nature of this section of the road, even if there are other teams in the distance or above the mountain, there is no way to fight.
The terrain here is really too steep, and no one dared to do anything without the blessing of spiritual power.
We can only start the duel again after getting through this difficult period and reaching a slightly calmer place.
Under such circumstances, even though we can clearly see the existence of other teams, we can only watch helplessly.
And this also gave rise to an element of instability.
Because those who climb higher will have the opportunity to be the first to climb over these dangerous places, and then attack those who come after them.
Therefore, people who are ranked lower in the ranking will be relatively passive.
They struggled to climb up. Although they did not dare to get too close to the team in front, they had to get close.
In addition, in order to maintain this lead, the teams in front started to have misconceptions when they saw the teams behind them.
At first, it was just a few disciples with evil intentions who deliberately pulled down stones to cause trouble for the people below.
Later, there were even people waiting at certain special terrains, ready to attack suddenly when the people below came up.
The team below did not dare to get too close to the team above, for fear of getting within the range of the opponent's ability to strike accurately.
Seeing the current situation, everyone is even more afraid to climb up.
Fortunately, although this section of the mountain is steep, it covers a wide area. Some teams will choose to follow their own sect's team.
After all, the robes of each sect are distinguished by color, and they are easy to identify each other, so the safety factor is higher.
After the incident of someone wearing the robes of another sect for fishing, Elder Huiming has strictly prohibited all sects from wearing the robes of other sects.
Therefore, everyone no longer has to worry about being plotted by disciples wearing robes of the same color.
Gu Yuan and the other five were in the same position. There were two teams in front of them, a hundred steps apart. They were no longer climbing up, but were still sitting next to them to rest.
There is another team to the left of Gu Yuan's team.
The pace of this team never stopped, and they were always moving at full speed.
Because this team is from the same sect as one of the previous teams.
They only need to follow the team of their own sect, and there is no need to worry about the team in front of them plotting against them.
Even if they get to the front, their sect has two teams and the opponent only has one team, they won't suffer a loss in the fight.
Gu Yuan looked up, also looking for a real fire candy team.
It was a coincidence that Gu Yuan looked around and saw that there was no Zhenhuotang team in front of him.
On the contrary, Gu Yuan's team was followed by several teams from the True Fire Hall.
One of the teams was originally on par with Gu Yuan's team.
But when their captain discovered that the team next to him was Gu Yuan's team, he immediately adjusted the speed of his team.
Soon, this chicken thief's team followed Gu Yuan's team.
When Gu Yuan looked back at them, the team waved frequently to greet Gu Yuan, and the captain once even cupped his fists in salute to Gu Yuan, even though they did not know each other.
After all, everyone is from the same sect, because the team below showed enough goodwill, and the people from Gu Yuan's team also waved and returned the favor.
It's not a big deal to help your fellow student, not to mention the other person is very polite.
The team in front was resting in place, seemingly waiting for the team from the same sect to move forward together.
Gu Yuan's team moved slightly to the right, trying to miss the direction of the team in front.
In fact, because this area is too steep, the places to climb are very limited.
Due to the thick fog, the visibility here is extremely low. I often climb while climbing, but suddenly I find that the front is blocked by a boulder and I can't climb up. I have to go back and change the route slightly.
At least in this direction of Gu Yuan's team, there are protruding boulders in many places, making it difficult to climb up.
There are only a few places that are relatively easy to walk. If there are already teams from other sects in front of them, they will inevitably be hijacked.
There are benefits to being famous, probably because of Gu Yuan's evil reputation, at least on Gu Yuan's line, people above him did not throw stones.
On other climbing routes, people would throw stones down from time to time. If the team below was not careful, they would be hit by stones and scream in pain.
Gu Yuan looked down again. In just a short while, four or five Zhenhuotang teams were already following him.
When these teams saw Gu Yuan looking at them, they quickly waved and said hello.
They were able to gain glory by following Gu Yuan, at least they no longer had to avoid rocks thrown from the mountain.
Everyone climbed up with their heads down, and in order to save energy and not do unnecessary things, even chatting was omitted. After two hours, Gu Yuan and the five finally left the most strenuous place.
When they were approaching a big rock halfway up the mountain, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting on the path next to them.
There, people kept shouting to admit defeat, and lights kept flashing.
It didn't sound as simple as two teams fighting each other, the sound was very messy.
There should be at least three or four teams.
In just a short time, seven or eight people were eliminated.
How fierce is the competition?
It seems that the misty forest is not that safe.
Under such circumstances, otherwise the team following the team would have stopped.
Gu Yuan's team also had to be cautious because they were worried that other teams would be ambushing them in the direction ahead.
This foggy path is always full of dangers.
But after watching for a while, I didn't find anyone ambushing me, because the route they climbed up was too winding and avoided the easiest places to climb. The process of finding the path was full of twists and turns, so no one was here specifically.
Wait for them.
But this path is not far from the path where the sounds of fighting are constantly coming from.
Just when Gu Yuan and others stopped to observe, the team behind Gu Yuan had already caught up.
"Senior Brother Gu!"
The captain of one of the teams clasped his fists and saluted, and the remaining teams followed him and greeted Gu Yuan.
