Nangong Shi nodded. âYou guessed right. There are indeed many pits in the hundred pits mountain range. There are countless pits of various sizes. However, there are more than a hundred pits on a larger scale. Thatâs why itâs called the Hundred Pits Mountain Range.â
âThen, who was so bored to dig so many pits?âHei Xinjiu asked curiously.
Nangong Shi was speechless. Who would be bored enough to dig pits? !
âThese pits were not dug by humans, but were formed naturally. These deep pits are also the main source of lightning striking stones. When the time comes, we will go down into the pits to collect lightning striking stones.
âNot only is the hundred pit mountain range prohibited from flying, but there is also no way to use the jade talisman seal. We will have to rely on the rope to go down to the bottom of the pit, so the risk is still very high. You should be more careful when the time comes.â
Hei Xinjiuâs eyes twitched. Wasnât this the legendary falling into a pit? And it was the same kind of ten-thousand-year-old deep pit!
The road was silent, and the group arrived at the Bai Hang mountain range on this day.
From the outside, the Bai Hang mountain range did not seem to be any different from an ordinary mountain range. However, when they entered, they discovered that the ground was covered with large and small pits. Some of these pits were deep and some were shallow. Some were covered by vegetation, and if they were not careful, they would fall into the pits.
Fortunately, director Xiaofu and the others had the topographic map in their hands, so they led the group around the pits that were not easy to find.
After a day of trekking, the group finally arrived at the first deep pit.
Yun chujiu looked at the huge sinkhole and was somewhat shocked.
This sinkhole was a few thousand feet deep. If it was a timid person, they probably would not even have the courage to look down.
The edge of the sinkhole was covered with vegetation, and there were quite a lot of vegetation below, but there were also quite a number of exposed areas. Those places were probably where thunderstones were produced.
It was also the first time Xiao Lianqiao and the others saw such a deep pit.
Their faces were filled with fear. There was no road from the top to the bottom. Could it be that they really relied on ropes to go down?
If the ropes were broken halfway, or if they were attacked by demon beasts halfway, how could they survive? !
âDonât worry, the rope we used was made of ten thousand strands of tough hemp, and itâs extremely strong. Moreover, the vegetation we chose is relatively low, so there wonât be any high-level demonic beasts hiding. As long as you move quickly, there wonât be any danger.
âMoreover, the path of cultivation is full of dangers. If you donât even have this bit of courage, you donât deserve to be the students of the upper house of the Ten Directions Academy, âdirector Xiaofu said coldly.
Shame appeared on everyoneâs faces. The fear from before had dissipated quite
a bit.
Yun Chujiuâs eyes flashed. Could it be that director Xiaofu had the intention of throwing her to her death?
There was indeed such a possibility. After all, people sometimes made mistakes, and horses sometimes made mistakes. At that time, a single mistake would be enough to cover it up.
However, it was probably only the first day. He would not be in such a hurry to make a move, so there was no need to worry too much.
Moreover, even if he released the rope, she would still be able to keep her life.
At this time, a lecturer had already put down the rope. The rope was as thick as a wrist, and it indeed looked very tough.
The lecturer wrapped one end of the rope around a large tree and tried to say, âDirector Xiaofu, itâs done.â
âLecturer pan, lecturer Qiu, the two of you stay on top to guard the rope. Lecturer Yao and I will bring them down. âAfter speaking, director Xiaofu took the lead to descend along the rope.
For the sake of safety, after vice-chancellor Xiao descended to the bottom of the pit, everyone began to climb down along the rope one after another.
After everyone descended to the bottom of the pit, it was difficult to hide their excitement. Although the process was somewhat thrilling, it was really very exciting..
