Chapter 431: Chapter 430-missing a place
The distance of almost 200 meters was almost the same as Li Tian’s guess. It would take an hour each time, and the ghost king would run out of energy the second time. It was all pulled up by him and the monk.
The four of them had brought four ropes, so Li Tian didn’t take them away immediately. Instead, he used new ropes.
When they were about fifty meters away from the top, the sky was already dark, so Li Tian had to stop the little Joker’s actions. The four of them sat on two protruding stones. There weren’t many protruding stones, only one every ten meters. Although the two stones were about the same height, the monk was still one meter shorter than Li Tian and the others.
The four of them could only sit down with great difficulty. They couldn’t even move. They carefully took out food and let the four of them eat and drink to their fill. Then, they rested for a while.
“There must be someone at the top, so we can’t go up rashly. There are still about 50 meters left. I’ve seen these 50 meters during the day and there are many protruding stones. If we really can’t do it, we can untie all the straps of our backpacks and we can barely cover 20 meters. In short, we can’t touch the rope on the rock wall. If we want to leave, we need to use these ropes. If we take them away, our escape route will be cut off and we can only rush out from the front. ‘
At this time, Li Tian had to make a clear plan. Although the monk was meticulous, Li Tian had the most experience in such matters.
This was the first time that Li Tian thought of retreating. In the past, he had always tried to break out from the front. The biggest reason was that he was injured. Once a person was injured, they would lack a sense of security, which had nothing to do with confidence.
In addition, Li Tian had received too much information in the past few days, which made him feel small and insignificant. Whether it was the moving Moon Palace or the Holy Temple, he was no match for them. As the four of them were the weakest in the fight for the Vermilion fruit, he naturally couldn’t choose to hit a rock with an egg.
“I agree with this point. In addition, when we go up tomorrow, it’s best to communicate with sign language because those people are likely to be guarding next to the Vermillion fruit tree. If we make any noise, we will definitely be discovered by them.”
Not only did they have to hide, but they also had to find a way out. They couldn’t be discovered. If they were discovered before they got the Vermilion fruit, then the four of them would have no hope at all.
“Ghost king, have a good rest tonight. I’ll be here to watch over you. I won’t let you fall down.”
Tomorrow would be a serious test of the ghost king’s physical strength, so the ghost king had to rest well tonight.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden to you guys tomorrow. Don’t forget what I do for a living. ‘
The ghost king said with a smile. Ever since they got married, the ghost king had laughed more frequently.
Naturally, Li Tian had guessed that the ghost king must have some recovery medicine in his hands, and he had prepared it before he came, because he knew where his biggest weakness was.
It was a quiet night. Perhaps no one would have thought that the four of them would be able to rest on the cliff.
Li Tian and the others also didn’t know that it was because they had chosen this safe but difficult path that they had avoided so many detours.
The next morning, the four of them woke up together, ate something, and drank some water. They almost used up all the remaining food and water. In the end, only one backpack was left with food, and the other three were all tents.
“We’ll leave these three backpacks here for now. I’ll carry this one. We’ll rest for half an hour and start climbing. ”
Li Tian decided to rest for a while since he had just finished eating. He had just woken up, and his strength had yet to fully recover.
Although they were resting for half an hour, the four of them didn’t idle around. They slowly moved their fingers and moved their legs constantly, hoping that nothing would happen later.
The little ghost was still in the front. The little ghost was more flexible and could find a position to grab, so it was very easy for the people behind to get up.
The four of them spent about half an hour before they finally all climbed up. Then, they quietly sat in a corner. There was a large piece of gravel next to them that blocked them.
This piece of broken rock was like another piece of rock that fell from the sky. It was at least five to six meters wide and two meters tall. They were on the back side, facing the cliff wall.
The four of them were very quiet in the end. After they came up, Li Tian gestured for them to sit here for a while while he quietly went up to check out the situation. He had to know where the Vermilion fruit was growing, right?
Without a doubt, they had reached the top. However, according to their observations, the top was at least 500 square meters, which was a very large area. If Li Tian and the others wanted to catch the Vermilion fruit by surprise,
they would have to understand the situation up there and know the strength of their enemies.
He would definitely outwit them, because they couldn’t fight them head-on, but there were many ways to outwit them.
Li Tian quietly walked around the big stone, then leaned against the stone wall and stretched his head out.
As a result, what entered his eyes was a large barren land. There were gravel all over it. There was no one within a hundred meters. It was very open and there was nothing to cover it, except for this big rock.
In other words, other than the four of them, there would be no one else within a hundred meters of this place. There were some obstacles and big rocks a hundred meters away. He didn’t know if there were people hiding there.
Li Tian didn’t want to expose himself, so it was enough for him to know this. He came back and said in a very small voice, ‘”‘There’s no one within a hundred meters of this place. We can lower our voices. ”
After receiving the news, seven sneaked over to take a look and confirmed that this was indeed the peak. However, there were only rocks nearby, so where was the Vermilion fruit tree? Since it was a tree, it had to look like a tree. It couldn’t be a weed growing in the cracks of a stone, right?
The few of them discussed for a long time but did not have any clues. Could it be that the Vermillion fruit tree was not here? They still had to take the risk to go out and see the situation?
Suddenly, Li Tian seemed to have thought of something.
“I think we might have missed a place.”
“What place?”
“It’s the big rock behind us. We didn’t see the Top of the Rock. It’s more than two meters high and it’s very narrow on our side, so it seriously affects our vision.. “
