The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Attack And Defense (1)
After all, there were many people who were easy to handle, so they quickly found three climbing spots. However, after confirmation from Du Hongchen and Zhi Chiya, two of the climbing spots were not suitable. Only one route was acceptable, but this climbing spot was already close to the stone castle.

Du Hongchen and the others were hiding behind a large tree. They could already see the stone castle on the cliff. Zhi Chiya said, “No, they can’t. It’s easy for them to discover!”

Wen Yan said indifferently, “Be careful. As long as you can go up, a few hunters are no match for you.”

Du Hongchen nodded and said, “After you go up, you can even ignore the hunters first. You can throw down the ropes over there and wait for the squad to come up and control Stone Castle. We can easily take over Huya Castle.”

Zhi Chiya felt a little regretful. This path was too dangerous. Even if he had the secret ring armor, once he fell from a high place, he would at least suffer serious injuries. However, thinking about Du Hongchen’s conditions, he moved out of the Hundred Clan Village to manage an area. This was much better than being in the Hundred Clan Village. He said, “Let me give it a try.”

Du Hongchen nodded and said, “Go, be careful. Is the rope ready?”

Zhi Chiya nodded. The rope was already in Lunzang Space, so he didn’t have to carry a heavy rope on his back. He didn’t go out directly. Instead, he walked along the boundary between the forest and the cliff, out of the line of sight of Stone Castle. Then, he went under the cliff and came back along the cliff. At this time, the heavy snow was much lighter, and his vision became clear.

Du Hongchen nodded and said, “Red Crow is still more cautious.”

Wen Yan said, “Master, if we succeed this time, perhaps Master will be able to enter the inner sect and obtain a better position.”

Du Hongchen smiled and said, “I hope they’re not mistaken.” His gaze swept across Ying Xiao and Ying Dafei, causing their foreheads to sweat from fear.

Zhi Chiya climbed up the cliff. He had thought about this path several times and came up with a solution at several important checkpoints. Especially the two places where the ice ridge was hanging. He needed to break it. This ice ridge was actually not in his heart, but how could he not alarm the sentry of Stone Castle and silently clear the ice ridge became a big problem.

With his powerful skills, Zhi Chiya quickly arrived at the first stage. After all, he was a Milun Master, an existence that surpassed the Thousand Wheels Master. Originally, this kind of cliff was not in his eyes. However, this time, it was different. First, the sky was snowing, the weather was harsh, and secondly, he wanted to avoid the surveillance of the sentinels, so he could not make a loud noise. This was the reason why he restricted his performance.

This entrance was a two-meter-wide ice wall. He needed to cross it horizontally to find a way to continue upwards. In an instant, Zhi Chiya’s hand pressed down on the ice wall. A flash of fire took a few seconds for one of his hands to sink into the ice wall. After a brief try, his entire body was suspended on it.

The position of the ice wall was about a third of the cliff. Zhi Chiya quickly crossed the ice wall. He heaved a sigh of relief and relied on the power of the fire wheel to easily melt the ice wall and find support.

Du Hongchen praised, “Very smart fellow. Haha, you managed to cross it so easily.”

Zhi Chiya was also secretly pleased with himself. He continued to climb up, and his speed gradually slowed down. He had already reached two thirds of the height of the cliff. This was the second checkpoint. This was a series of small ice walls. Before it snowed, it was formed from very small water currents on the cliff.

Wen Yan said, “Looks like … no problem, Zhi Chiya will definitely be able to go up.”

However, Zhi Chiya encountered a difficult problem. The cliff slightly protruded outwards. He could not find any point to borrow strength. When he was below, he could not see that the cliff was leaning outwards. If he could not find any point to borrow strength, he would have to forcefully break through the cliff. In this way, he would definitely be discovered by the sentry on the stone castle. At this moment, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed to see something.

It was a metal ring, Zhi Chiya’s first thought. This should have been left behind by his predecessors when they entered Huya Castle. He tried to hook the ring and forcefully pulled it down. He found that the ring was firmly nailed to a slanted rock and couldn’t help but reveal a happy expression. He thought, “The heavens are going to help me destroy Huya Castle!”

His entire body was hanging on the ring. Zhi Chiya found that the ring was still strong. Only then did he truly feel relieved. In order to save energy, he naturally used Lun Li.

As that wheel force surge into the arm, The ring suddenly flickered. Zhi Chiya instantly reacted, He let out a miserable scream. This was too fucking deceptive. This was an extremely simple trap, the Lunli Ring Trap. If Zhi Chiya did not use Lunli, he would only use his own strength. If it was an ordinary person, the ring would be very safe. However, once he used Lunli, the Lunli Ring Trap would explode and instantly shatter.

One had to know that Zhi Chiya was hanging on the ring, and the cliff was tilted outwards. He didn’t have any place to borrow any strength. The most terrifying thing was that the ring suddenly erupted when he was in the most relaxed mood and had the least vigilance. No matter how powerful he was, he was still caught off guard. Even if Du Hongchen was here, he would probably still be hit. This was truly too sinister.

The sound of the ring exploding wasn’t loud, but Zhi Chiya’s scream was too loud.

Ah … Ah …

He fell from the cliff with a miserable howl.

Du Hongchen cursed and immediately rushed out. He couldn’t watch as Zhi Chiya fell to his death. He didn’t have the slightest psychological burden of losing several Hundred Lun Masters and Thousand Lun Masters. However, he was also extremely responsible for losing a Milun Master. Milun Masters were the backbone of strength. Losing one of them was a big deal.

The speed of his fall from the cliff was extremely fast. Fortunately, there were no rocks beneath. Otherwise, he would have lost half of his life before landing at the bottom of the cliff.

Du Hongchen instantly released a gale. The gale was very unique. It was like countless circles that had wrapped Zhi Chiya in it from childhood to adulthood. Seeing him swiftly spinning in the gale, Zhi Chiya immediately fainted and let out a strange cry that shook the heavens.

But it was this spinning wind that caused Zhi Chiya to unload the tremendous force of the fall.

Bang!

Zhi Chiya smashed his head onto the ground. With this little bit of impact power, Zhi Chiya could easily block it with the Mithril Armor. However, after he stood up, he was unable to stand steadily. He twisted his drunken steps and walked over with a crooked expression. He even said, “Fucking bastard … Too fucking cheating … Ah … I fainted … Bastard!”

Pa!

Du Hongchen raised his hand and slapped him in the mouth.

Covering his face, Zhi Chiya finally woke up a little. He immediately understood that it was Du Hongchen who saved him and shook his head. He said, “Thank you … Martial Uncle Du …” After being slapped in the face, he still had to thank Du Hongchen.

Du Hongchen said, “What happened? Why did it suddenly fall?”

Zhi Chiya was furious, “Damn it … there’s actually a trap on the cliff! A wheel ring … is too damaging!”

Du Hongchen asked curiously, “Lunli rings? This thing … isn’t a Milun Master, it can’t be set up. Could it be that Huya Castle has a Milun Master?”

Ying Dafei wanted to say it, but she didn’t dare to interrupt.

Wen Yan said, “Speak!”

“There can’t be a Milun Master in Tiger Cliff Castle …” Ying Dafei said. “It has been hundreds of years since our eagle collar clashed with Tiger Cliff Castle. We have never seen a Milun Master in Tiger Cliff Castle.”

Du Hongchen stared at the top of the cliff angrily. Once the sneak attack failed, he would have to attack forcefully. This kind of terrain was simply too difficult to attack.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded from the top of the cliff. It was an alarm whistle.

Zhi Chiya’s expression was ugly. He could understand this kind of whistle. Everyone gathered together and occupied a good place. An ordinary person could display the strength of a Thousand Wheel Master. A stone was smashed down on the bare cliff. Other than a true expert, who could block it?

Very quickly, a figure flashed on the cliff top.

Hu Cangya brought a large group of people up and asked, “Why are you playing the whistle?”

Hu San and Ke Dao were the two guardians of the stone castle. Hu San said, “Uncle, someone tried to climb up, but ended up falling!”

Hu Cangya looked down and could vaguely see a figure in the forest. He said, “Who is it?”

Ke Dao said, “I don’t know, this person should be very powerful. He fell down … We saw someone giving off a strange wind, and that person didn’t fall to his death. He got up and went into the forest.”

Hu Cangya’s expression instantly changed. He said, “Eagle-collar people? Or people from the Hundred Clans Stronghold?” Only in these two places would they know about Huya Castle’s background. The Eagle Collar could still provoke him, and the Hundred Clans Stronghold absolutely could not provoke him.

Hu San said, “I don’t know …”

Hu Cangya quickly made up his mind. He said, “Prepare the stones, mobilize everyone, bring the stones and logs up. Also, boil the water …”

These were all prepared by Tiger Cliff Castle. They were all strategies that had been arranged by the predecessors. Immediately, the cliff top became lively. The entire operation of Tiger Cliff Castle was under five years old and over sixty years old. There was no need to go to the cliff top. Everyone else had to go. Children of five, six, seven, or eight years old had only one mission. They could set fire and boil water in large pots. There was no need to find water in the ice and snow everywhere.

Du Hongchen pondered for a moment and said, “Ying Dafei, go and shout! Tell the people of Huya Castle to surrender!”

Ying Dafei could only come out. He used Lun Li and shouted, “Listen, I’m Ying Dafei from Huya Castle. I’m Ying Dafei from the Hundred Clans Stronghold. I want you to surrender immediately! Drop the basket immediately!” He kept shouting.

Soon, an unusually loud voice came from above the cliff top, “Scram!”

Everyone shouted the same word at the same time. Everyone’s hearts were filled with joy. Perhaps he was very simple in this wilderness. Perhaps he didn’t know much, but the only thing he didn’t lack was courage. How could they surrender without fighting when someone knocked on their door?

Du Hongchen’s expression was gloomy and cold as he said, “I don’t know how to appreciate your kindness!”
