The man said with some embarrassment: "I can't take so many people at once. The road up the mountain is quite steep. You can only climb up by climbing vines. I can only take three children at a time. You guys look very strong and can help me take care of the rest."
A child?"
"no problem!"
Another Japanese ninja agreed directly.
Even if you can't fly across the sky, with the physical strength of a martial arts master, it's not particularly difficult to climb a mountain with bare hands. As for bringing someone with you, who is still a child, it's not a big problem.
"That's great!" The man cheered with gratitude.
Then, the twenty or so children were quickly taken care of by everyone. There were also people who did not have children to take care of. Because Lin Tian was close, a cute little girl of four or five years old was pushed over by the man. She grinned at Lin Tian with her white teeth exposed.
He said: "You look young and have thin arms and legs. Please help me bring something light."
He really picked her up and stuffed her into Lin Tian's arms, but the little girl still looked confused and didn't know what she was doing.
Lin Tian held the little girl in his arms dumbfounded. He looked at the little girl's delicate little face like a porcelain doll and the small flower on her shoulder-length black hair. He nodded and hugged the little girl with one hand, and then
Follow the man to the back of the mountain and start climbing using the vines that extend from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain.
This is really climbing, because the mountain is almost 90 degrees down, so it is very difficult to climb.
At first, everyone was able to keep up with this ape-like indigenous man, but as they approached the halfway point of the mountain, they felt more and more strenuous, as if a big stone was pressing on them. Even with the physical strength of these martial arts masters, they could not keep up.
It was a bit overwhelming, everyone was soaked with sweat, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Ever since they broke through the martial arts master, when had they ever been so embarrassed?
Not to mention martial arts masters, it's just a mountain climb, and with the help of vines, even An Jin can easily climb to the top of the mountain.
But this hellish place has almost suppressed their cultivation to the extreme. They can't fly in the air, and they can't mobilize the energy in their bodies. They have to rely on physical strength and suffer inhuman oppression. Who can withstand this?
"What the hell is this place?! Ah——! I can't hold it anymore!"
Finally, there was a Huang-level martial arts master. Under this invisible oppression, the hand holding the vines had turned completely white, and the vines he was holding also cracked at this time!
Everyone was startled and turned their heads to look at him. Then they saw him lowering his head and setting his eyes on a seven or eight-year-old boy wrapped around him. Then his expression became fierce and he suddenly pulled the little boy away.
boy, and then threw the little boy directly down the mountain!
"ah!!"
The little boy's face turned pale, and his screams as he fell rapidly echoed on the mountainside!
Lin Tian's expression suddenly changed. He hooked his left foot and let the vines wrap around his ankle. Then he pushed hard on the mountain. At the critical moment, he reached out with his right hand and grabbed the little boy's arm!
"call--"
The indigenous man breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned his head and glared at the Huang-level martial arts master who left the little boy behind, and roared: "You are killing people!"
The Huang-level martial arts master also roared angrily: "So what if you kill someone?! If you don't kill him, this vine won't be able to bear the weight of two people!"
This was indeed the case. After he threw the little boy down, the vines stopped cracking, and his physical strength, which was almost unbearable, suddenly became much easier.
After yelling at the indigenous man, the martial arts master shouted to the others with a gloomy face: "You have all been deceived by them! How can there be other living people in this ghost place? These people are simply a test in the illusion! For this reason
Stop us from climbing up the mountain! Haven't you noticed that these children are getting heavier and heavier?
?We are martial arts masters! In terms of physical strength, even if I take someone to climb a mountain, I won’t feel tired at all, right? But now? With a child, I feel like I will die of exhaustion at any time! After leaving him behind, I
My physical strength recovered immediately! The test of this fifth island is to see who reaches the top of the mountain first!"
After being yelled by this Huang-level martial arts master, all the martial arts masters who were still gritting their teeth and persisting suddenly stopped their movements and looked at the children they were bringing with them in confusion.
Those who did not take care of children said in surprise: "I was surprised before, how could you be so tired taking care of someone? I didn't expect this to be the case?"
Seeing their relaxed looks, many people hesitated and focused their attention on the children they were carrying.
At this time, the indigenous man yelled: "Don't listen to his nonsense! If you don't want to help me take people up, put them down! Don't leave them! It's so high, they will fall to death!"
Some people hesitated, while others gritted their teeth and immediately let go of the child.
Where there was the first, there was the second. Soon, there were more than twenty children, and only four or five were still struggling to support them, including Lin Tian, Li Xingdao, and Ji Lin.
As for Liu Busheng and the others, they did not bring the child up. Li Xingdao originally wanted to throw it away, but when he saw that Lin Tian did not let go, he did not let go either.
After all, if this is just an illusion test, then these people are not 'people', but illusions. If you throw them away, they will just disappear, instead of falling to death, and there is no need to feel guilty.
Seeing children being thrown down the mountain one after another, the indigenous man collapsed and shouted: "I beg you to stop!!!"
Lin Tian frowned, and he caught the two children smoothly. Counting the little girl he caught before and the little girl who was hanging on him like a koala, he had four children with him alone.
One sat on his neck, one hung on his back, one hugged his chest, and the other was held by his arm with one hand.
Lin Tian was only holding on to the vines with his left hand, and he clearly felt that he was unable to do so. If he continued to hold on, he might fall!
But he was still holding on and didn't let go easily.
To put it another way, if these children are really living people and indigenous people here, then once he lets go, he will lose four lives!
He can be ruthless to his enemies, and he can also disregard the life and death of strangers, but these children, whom he has promised to help take up the mountain, will not give up casually!
The words you say and the things you promise are just spit and nails. How can you trample on your own trustworthiness at will?
"You will be punished!"
The indigenous man's eyes burst out with strong hatred, staring at those who left the children behind, and roared sadly.
"Retribution? When we go up the mountain and go to the sixth island, you will also turn into an illusion and disappear. What retribution is there?" The Huang-level martial arts master who let go at the beginning said with a sneer, and then used his hands together.
, using the vines to climb to the top of the mountain very quickly.
Seeing him like this, other people also followed suit and thought what he said made sense.
These people themselves were above Lin Tian, and they soon climbed to the halfway point of the mountain, and only a blurry back figure could be seen.
"Lin Tian, what should we do?" Li Xingdao looked down at Lin Tian, gritting his teeth and asking with sweat on his face.
Lin Tian was also gritting his teeth for support, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Go down the mountain! Send them down first, and then we will find a way to go up the mountain!"
"good!"
Li Xingdao and Ji Lin nodded in agreement at the same time and quickly slid down.
The indigenous man said gratefully: "Thank you!"
"Stop talking about this now, let's make sure the children are safe first." Lin Tian replied. As the height of the mountain got lower and lower, the pressure on him became smaller and smaller.
When he finally came to the foot of the mountain again, he felt a sense of being on the ground. Li Xingdao directly put down the two children on his body, then sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Lin Tian was not much better, but his eyes suddenly condensed!
He didn't see the body of the child who fell before!
When he realized this, Li Xingdao, Liu Busheng and others who came down with him also discovered this anomaly.
But before they could question the aboriginal man, the aboriginal man changed his anger and collapse. Instead, he looked at Lin Tian with a meaningful smile and said: "I haven't promised yet, but I will never break my promise. You are very good."
