Chapter 2509: One person went into the mountains, but gained nothing!
The next morning, Ling Tian walked out of the tent with a serious expression and looked around.
At this moment, Lin Qi also came out and looked at Ling Tian and said, "Brother, how many days do we have to wait? Do we have to stay here forever?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian shook his head. "We really shouldn't stay here, but there's no good solution right now, so this is the only option. Even if we really want to resolve this crisis, now isn't the right time."
"what?"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi was slightly stunned. He tilted his head and said, "So, big brother, do you mean that we should leave first? Come back another time?"
"Not really, it just takes a few days. I might need to go out during these few days. You guys need to stay here and wait for me to come back."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qi hurriedly said, "Brother, let me go with you! I can still help you with anything. I don't want to be ignorant and stay here. I want to be with you, brother!"
Lin Qi also confessed his feelings quickly, fearing that Ling Tian would go to the Holy Mountain alone without him.
After all, Lin Qi can now feel that Ling Tian’s curiosity about the Holy Mountain has never diminished. It is better to say that he has reasons to go to the Holy Mountain.
In fact, he and Du Yanhao were not strong enough. If they followed Ling Tian into the mountains, they would probably die. That was why Ling Tian refused to take him and Du Yanhao with him and let them stay here.
Although Lin Qi knew the reason why Ling Tian did this, he really didn't want Ling Tian to take risks himself. He didn't want Ling Tian to fall into danger.
I may indeed be a burden at times, but when Ling Tian is in danger, I can act as a meat shield, standing in front of Ling Tian and blocking a fatal attack.
If I can succeed once, I will die without regrets.
That's why Lin Qi hoped that Ling Tian could take him with him, instead of letting himself and Du Yanhao stay here to guard the so-called car and let Ling Tian take risks just because he was not strong enough.
However, Ling Tian had made up his mind. He simply shook his head and said, "This time, I really can't take you and Xiaohao with me. You two just stay here and I'll be back. If there's any danger, I can still escape. Do you understand? I know you've already guessed it, but... it's really not suitable."
"Talk to Xiaohao for me and ask him to stay with you. If you find any danger, go back to Weicheng. At least Weicheng is safe there. If you're not there, I'll go back directly. Remember?"
Ling Tian spoke very seriously, but his words, like his last words, made Lin Qi's eyes red, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Noticing the change in Lin Qi's expression, Ling Tian smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'm not going to die, and the crystal is in my hands, so it's not a big problem. Promise me that you must do as I say, and never, ever enter the mountain without permission."
Hearing this, Lin Qi stared at Ling Tian, and nodded after a moment: "I understand, big brother, I will be obedient. I will never go into the mountains without permission. I will wait here for you to come back."
"Well, it's settled then. Wait until I come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian's figure flashed and he rushed straight towards the Holy Mountain.
He thought about it all night.
In fact, last night, he had thought about returning to Weicheng first, resting for a while, and improving his realm before challenging again.
But when he thought about how he was getting closer to the central city, but how long it would take to travel between cities, Ling Tian couldn't help but get anxious.
That's why he decided to go into the mountains secretly, to make some preparations for retreat.
Ling Tian pondered all the way and finally arrived at the foot of the holy mountain again.
This time, he tried hard to suppress his presence, and then plunged into the woods on the surface of the mountain in front of him.
Just as he entered the mountain, Ling Tian discovered a fatal problem.
Sense of direction.
There are identical big trees all around, and the sunlight only shines through the leaves, so the position of the sun cannot be seen.
It can be said that here, Ling Tian is in a completely lost state and has no idea which direction to go.
And he didn't want to expose his whereabouts for the time being, so it was really a pipe dream to want to climb the tree that was more than ten meters high in front of him.
This caused Ling Tian to suddenly stop after entering the mountains and start thinking about countermeasures.
If they go straight forward, they probably won't go wrong. The problem is how to get to the top of the mountain, which is what Ling Tian needs to think about.
After all, his goal is the top of the mountain. Only by seeing the so-called peak-level monster beast can Ling Tian find information about Licheng and know Licheng's location.
So he looked around, sensed the surrounding atmosphere, and then slowly walked forward.
He didn't know how many days he had been walking, but the sunlight above his head seemed to have disappeared two or three times, so it must have taken at least two days.
The road under his feet had no angles and was still very flat, not like being inside a mountain.
Although Ling Tian was a little confused about this, he had no choice but to move forward.
After that, he quickened his pace, but there was still no breath of any monsters around, nor any trace of warriors.
The path he walked on was as if it had never been discovered by anyone, as if it had never been stepped on by anyone. It was clean and without any footprints.
After experiencing the sunlight above his head disappearing seven or eight times, he finally realized that he was starting to go up, and the ground under his feet became steeper. He could clearly feel that he was climbing.
At the same time, Ling Tian could feel his physical strength rapidly draining away. Even though he had been controlling himself very well all the way, he still felt a little tired at this moment and his pace slowed down.
"Damn it, are there no monsters in the Holy Mountain? Or do all the monsters know I'm coming?"
Ling Tian complained as he walked, and after walking for a long time, he finally couldn't help it and sat down on the ground to rest.
tired!
At this moment, fatigue began to engulf him little by little, making his breathing difficult, his steps slow, and his whole body feel extremely heavy.
He was breathing heavily. Even though he was a master from the Saint Realm, at this moment, his physical strength was still unable to support him to move forward.
However, just as he was about to take a break, suddenly, a roar came from afar, and at the same time, countless auras entered his perception range.
"This……"
Before Ling Tian could make any preparations, dozens of monsters came into his sight and surrounded him.
Almost all of the monsters in front of him were high-level monsters, staring at Ling Tian with their pupils, ready to strike at any time.
Seeing this scene, Ling Tian smiled helplessly and shook his head: "You came... What a coincidence!"
