C15 Mountain Crevice
Over the past year, Lin Fann gradually got used to the cold temperature here. Now that he was down the mountain, even without the help of the spirit fruit, he didn't feel cold at all.
The jade pendant hanging from his waist flickered in the night and emitted a bright luster, appearing exceptionally dazzling.
Lin Fann, who was using his Qing Gong, did not realize that the jade pendant on his waist had become brighter and brighter tonight.
Along the way, Lin Fann carefully avoided the outer sect disciples, and carefully went into a deep pit at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain road here was extremely steep and rugged. If one wasn't proficient in lightness techniques, it was likely that they would not be able to climb up this mountain.
Lin Fann's qinggong was not high, but he came prepared. Lin Fann lowered his head and looked at the precipitous cliff for a while.
Then, he stretched out his hands and threw out a pair of silver hooks from his waist. Then, he suddenly exerted his strength with both of his hands, and the flying hook and the long rope Lin Fann had prepared started to fall rapidly into a concave area.
"Clang!" The rope he prepared was more than three hundred meters long. With the pull of the rope, a "clang" sound came from the bottomless cliff below. Soon after, a lot of rocks fell, but the rope continued to straighten.
"Thankfully, I have a good aim!" When Lin Fann saw this behind the scenes, he muttered to himself.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, he tied one end of the rope firmly around his waist while grabbing the nearby rocks with both of his hands and climbed down clumsily.
Although the rope was extremely long and thin, it was extremely sharp. No one knew where Lin Fann got it from.
Since the mountain was very dangerous, Lin Fann climbed very slowly. Back when he was on the run from Third Uncle for two years, he had also encountered such a place.
However, it was Third Uncle who carried him and gently leaped into the air. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they still disappeared in an instant …
Lin Fann, who was twelve years old, had experienced it for himself. He was very careful and didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
After about two incense sticks' worth of time, the moon rose up and Lin Fann also slowly climbed to the place where the silver hooks landed.
At this time, Lin Fann had climbed more than 300 meters, so he could already vaguely see the vast scene at the bottom of the pit.
There was a maple tree at the foot of the mountain. It was a very large maple tree, and its branches were extremely lush.
Lin Fann looked down at the maple tree and let out a long sigh. Then he put the pair of climbing hooks away and put them back on his waist.
"If not for this tree, I would have been smashed to smithereens here last time." Lin Fann sighed and said.
It turned out that this tree had a great origin, it had once saved Lin Fann's life.
After exhaling for a while, Lin Fann leaped up and landed on a big branch of a big tree.
At this moment, Lin Fann was a hundred meters away from the big tree. Jumping over this distance was still quite difficult for Lin Fann.
However, with the tree as his base, Lin Fann's own safety was not a problem.
"Thump! Thump!" The three buckets thick branch of the contract violently shook a few times, and a few maple leaves fell to the ground.
On the branch, Lin Fann was able to stabilize his body without any danger. A rare smile appeared on the young man's fair face.
The giant maple tree looked to be in the wrong and had an endless number of branches. It was unknown how many descendants of the tree it had grown into to be so lush and flourishing.
Lin Fann glanced around. At this moment, the moon was hanging up and the surroundings were quiet. The sound of falling leaves could be heard clearly.
"It seems like no one has discovered this place yet." Lin Fann looked around and found that this place had not changed at all since two months ago.
It was a big tree at the bottom of a huge pit, and in front of it was a glowing door that was slightly blocked by a huge rock.
Opposite the big maple tree, there was a huge rock more than ten feet long blocking the scene of the cave. Lin Fann jumped down from the tree and walked towards the entrance of the cave with light steps.
Then, Lin Fann got down from the teenager's body and carefully climbed into a very small crevice in the hill that only one person could pass through.
The moon hung up completely. It was not far from midnight. At this time, the bright jade pendant on Lin Fann's waist became more and more conspicuous.
Lin Fann also noticed the change in the jade pendant by his waist as he crawled. However, Lin Fann didn't think too much about it. He used his clothes to cover up the jade pendant on his waist.
This jade pendant was carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was a bright jade color, but its origins were unknown.
Wang Chen's father only told Wang Chen: "This is the only thing your mother left for you before you died. Keep it well!"
Just like that, that strange jade pendant had been by Lin Fann's side ever since he was born. At first, Lin Fann thought that the jade pendant was some treasure his mother left him.
However, after a long time, the jade pendant did not show its power. Lin Fann could only regard it as a mascot that his mother left to him to protect him.
However, this mascot seemed to be different from usual. If it was a normal mascot, Lin Fann would definitely study it.
However, now was the time to pick the herbs. Lin Fann decided to put the matter of the jade pendant aside.
The crevice was very small, and Lin Fann's small body had to twist and turn before it could pass. It took Lin Fann quite a while to squeeze in like last time. After entering the crevice, what came toward him was a forked mountain pass with multiple sides. According to Lin Fann's previous experience, only by going through those forks could one reach the deep cave bottom where there were a lot of herbs.
At this point, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Lin Fann also put up his full concentration, being on alert in case the wandering wild leopard suddenly ran out to attack him.
Just like that, Lin Fann locked onto a slightly bigger fork in the road and carefully walked in …
At the end of the cave, there was a very long stream that led to the bottom of the big stone bridge that connected the outer and inner gate. Lin Fann had escaped from there last time.
In order to be careful and not attract anyone's attention, Lin Fann did not descend from the wide stone bridge. Instead, he chose the entrance of the steep mountain.
The sound of flowing water could be heard from the bottom of the cave, which was filled with a large amount of medicinal ingredients.
Lin Fann was worried that the wild leopard would ambush them along the way. However, something that surprised Lin Fann happened.
That wild leopard had surprisingly disappeared. Lin Fann walked carefully to the last upside-down rock that led to the bottom of the cave, but the leopard still didn't move!
However, this did not let Lin Fann relax his guard. Instead, his brows were filled with a serious expression. The "unknown objects" hidden in his sleeves also moved a little bit.
After a few more steps, it was still silent. Lin Fann stopped and laid down among the rocks with a cold expression.
The surroundings were still extremely quiet, as if Lin Fann's caution was unnecessary. However, the seriousness on Lin Fann's face increased.
"Swoosh!" Suddenly, an unknown light shot over from the distance. It brought with it a large amount of light, which naturally made it particularly dazzling in this dark cave.
Lin Fann didn't dare to breathe too slowly. His eyes shifted and he hid behind the rocks, not daring to move.
"Clang!" Just as Lin Fann Ming was resting, another unknown object with a blue glow came over from the other side. It spun a few rounds in midair before meeting the unknown light that shot out from the bottom of the hole.
Lin Fann hid in a corner and rolled his eyes. After a year of living in the cold mountain, Lin Fann clearly knew that the two objects circling in the air were both magic items that could only be used to emit light.
"Damn it, an inner sect disciple has come here, and he even let me hit him right on the spot!" Lin Fann was speechless. Although he did not have much fear in his heart, he also felt that his scheme had become very troublesome.
Needless to say, both weapons had been dispatched. From Lin Fann's point of view, those two artifacts were still battling in midair. With a single glance, it was obvious that someone was secretly using willpower to control the two artifacts' battle.
Just as Lin Fann shouted, a blue light flashed and a small throwing knife appeared. However, that small throwing knife looked like it was not stable and was full of water puddles.
The light whizzed, spiraled back and turned into a small bonus arrow. However, the sharp arrow was also trembling nonstop, and it also appeared to be extremely unstable.
"Withdraw!" Almost at the same time, the two magic tools flew back to their respective corners.
"May I know which senior brother is here? Do you wish to see them again? " The instant the sharp arrow magic tool flew back, a man's questioning voice sounded from the bottom of the cave.
Lin Fann felt a chill in his heart, and when he rolled his eyes, he knew that the other person was not asking him.
The other person didn't seem to have any intention of replying, and the silence from before returned.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the man spoke again with a slightly angry tone of voice: "Although there are a lot of herbs here, only that small stalk of spirit energy is not small. It is extremely beneficial for us Spirit Apostles to cultivate. And I just spent a great deal of effort to kill that wild leopard. Even if there is no merit, there should be some hard work done. That medicinal herb should belong to me no matter how it is distributed. Senior Brother, you've been hiding your true power for a long time, and yet you still want to rely on it to obtain my results. Senior Brother, you're thinking too beautifully, aren't you? "
"Humph!" That wild leopard was already heavily injured before you even attacked him. Don't think that I don't know! Senior Brother Lu, you just took advantage of me to successfully kill that leopard. " In response to the angry words of "Senior Martial Brother Lu", the other hidden sect members coldly snorted. However, that cold snort appeared to be extremely slender and feminine.
"You, which Junior Sister are you?" When Senior Martial Brother Lu heard his opponent's words, he was stunned for a moment, because he discovered that the person hiding in the shadows seemed to be a woman!
Senior Martial Brother Lu once again asked in a surprised manner. At the same time, he was also slightly guilty. That leopard was indeed something he had picked up for an unknown benefit.
Lin Fann, who was hiding in the upside-down rocks, didn't change his expression. It seemed like he didn't differentiate between the two.
"There's no need for you to care about which junior sister. I was the one who injured that leopard first." In addition, our sect has always forbade internal fighting. Both of us are in violation of the sect's rules now. If you know what's good for you, leave as soon as you can. What do you think, senior brother? " The owner of the feminine voice loudly shouted at Senior Martial Brother Lu's surprise.
