Chapter 587 Rewards
"It's really a headache! If the exit is at the top of the mountain, I think we may be inseparable..." Hu Gang said dejectedly.
Although in the process of going up the mountain, the gradually strengthened gravity can temper the foundation and consolidate the cultivation base, which can be regarded as an opportunity.
But it is barely counted, there are more and better opportunities in this huge fairy mansion, if you can't get out from here, everything is useless.
Perhaps the only good thing is that you don't have to worry about being trapped in the Immortal Mansion and unable to get out.
According to the records in the ancient books, when the closing time of the Immortal Mansion arrives, all the alien beings located in different locations in the Immortal Mansion will be sent out.
However, everyone came in to find good things, so how could they go out with nothing? That's really embarrassing!
Ye Tianyu rubbed his temples, and also felt very headache because of this matter.
He looked at Ye Qi and asked, "Ye Qi, do you have any good ideas?"
Ye Qi shook his head regretfully and said: "Master, this snow mountain was created by a high-level immortal. It is not just a simple multiplication of gravity, but also contains a special power that we can't understand, so it has the ability to consolidate cultivation and temper the foundation. Magical effect. But it basically means that it is difficult to crack! At least, the subordinates do not have this ability!"
Hu Gang then interjected and said what was in his mind: "I think that since this snow mountain is a test set by the master of the Immortal Mansion, there must be a way to pass the level. It is impossible to intercept everyone on the mountainside , and can’t climb to the top! There’s no need to do this at all! I really can’t understand, what’s the point of doing this?”
Ye Tianyu nodded slightly.
What Hu Gang said makes sense. The purpose of the existence of the Immortal Mansion is to test outsiders and send corresponding opportunities at the same time.
The ultimate goal is not to deliberately stop everyone, so that everyone will not get any benefits.
If you really want to do this, this Immortal Mansion might as well not be born!
Ye Tianyu said: "Take a break and move on, wait until you can't hold on anymore!"
It's strange to say that as long as you stop and don't walk, the gravity on your body seems to disappear.But if one lifts one's footsteps, the gravitational force of exhaustion will be added to everyone's body again.
It's like giving everyone time to rest on purpose.
It can also be seen from here that the master of the Immortal Mansion didn't mean to embarrass everyone on purpose, otherwise it would not be possible to give such a caring time to rest.
After resting for more than half an hour, I continued to move forward.
There are no steps on the snow-capped mountain, and the rough mountain road is covered with a half-foot-thick layer of snow. Every time you step on it, there will be a particularly crisp crunching sound.
On the faces of the five people, hot sweat fell down like running water, dripping and scorching small holes in the snow.
On the way forward, you can still see the traces left by the five Sanxians when they passed by.
Because they rested for too long before, they can no longer see the traces of the five Sanxians.
Apparently, they didn't stop for a break.
"hu~hu~"
Ye Tianyu was panting heavily, compared to the beginning, their speed had already dropped completely at this moment.
"By the way, has any of you noticed how many meters we have climbed along the way?" Ye Tianyu turned his head, looked at several people and asked.
Hu Gang took the lead in shaking his head and said: "Uh, I didn't pay much attention! It's a pity that the spiritual sense is suppressed here, otherwise, if we unfold the spiritual sense, we will immediately know how far we have gone."
"I didn't pay much attention either." Zeng Muyang shook his head.
As for Wu Fan, he consciously kept silent.
As the only ordinary person present, he didn't have the ability to measure distances out of thin air.
Ye Qi said at this time: "Master, I have roughly calculated, it should be almost 2000 meters!"
Before Ye Tianyu said anything, Hu Gang said dejectedly: "Hey, after climbing for a long time, it's still less than 2000 meters. This is really not ordinary slow!"
"It would be great if I could fly here, how can I fly up here all at once."
Hearing Hu Gang's muttering, Ye Tianyu said angrily: "It is difficult to jump with such a strong gravity, and you still want to fly up? Are you dreaming?"
"Think about it..." Hu Gang pouted and retorted with disbelief.
Ye Tianyu said: "Okay, you can just make up your mind! Anyway, in the end, you still have to walk up with your feet."
While he was talking, a huge stone tablet loomed in front of him.
Hu Gang said in amazement: "Hey, is that a milestone? I think it says 2000 meters on it!"
Ye Tianyu said: "Go over there and have a look."
It looked not far away, but in fact everyone still walked for a while before arriving at the stele.
"Rules for receiving 2000-meter rewards: Everyone who comes here can get a top-quality spiritual weapon. Please put your hand on the stone tablet and silently recite the type of spiritual weapon you want."
Below the stele, there is such a row of small characters recorded...
"Wow, there is actually a reward!" Hu Gang exclaimed excitedly, then shook his head in disappointment and said, "But this top-grade spiritual weapon...is a bit too picky! Don't say it." No matter how high the requirements are, at least one must be at the level of a sub-immortal weapon!"
"It's just a top-grade spiritual tool, it's not that precious, and it won't do much if you hold it in your hand!"
Hearing Hu Gang's displeasure, Ye Tianyu said angrily: "It's alright, you can be content with the free top-grade spiritual weapon, it's better than nothing!"
"Okay, hurry up, go up and choose the spirit weapon you want."
With that said, Ye Tianyu was the first to step forward, put his hands on the stone wall, and silently recited the phrase 'defensive battle armor' in his heart.
Suddenly, a light group penetrated from the stone wall.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Ye Tianyu grabbed it.
After the light dissipated, a palm-sized battle armor appeared in his hand.
It looks quite small, but it is a top-grade spiritual weapon, and it can be freely changed in size after refining.
"I also want to defend the spirit weapon."
"Defensive spirit weapon!"
……
Everyone, including Ye Qi, chose defensive spirit weapons.
There is no other reason, just because defensive spirit weapons are relatively expensive in the general level.
Anyway, for them, the best spirit weapon is not very useful, so naturally choose a relatively high value one, and they can sell more spirit stones when they go out, so why not do it!
Ye Tianyu saw that they all chose the same as him, and immediately guessed what they were thinking. In fact, why didn't he think so...
Seeing that everyone got their own spirit weapons, Ye Tianyu arranged: "Take a short rest, and continue to go up later!"
Taking advantage of the rest time, Hu Gang chatted with his master, "Since the 2000-meter distance is rewarded with top-quality spiritual weapons, there should still be rewards for higher distances."
"Master, how far do you think we need to go for the next reward?"
Ye Tianyu pondered for a while and said: "The next reward may be at a distance of 3000 meters, and the grade of the reward is likely to be a sub-immortal weapon."
"Master, you think exactly the same as me!" Hu Gang said with a smile.
Ye Tianyu curled his lips, too lazy to answer.
Isn't this an obvious result!
Of course, everyone was guessing in the early stage, and we have to wait and see what actually happened.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Ye Tianyu got up and said, "Okay, it's time to move on!"
After walking a few steps, Hu Gang's face changed slightly: "I'm going, the gravity seems to double after 2000 meters! If this continues, whether we can reach the distance of 3000 meters is a problem!"
"Try it, how will you know if you don't try!" Zeng Muyang said with hope shining in his eyes.
Except for Wu Fan, his cultivation was the lowest among those present. Although he didn't say anything, he was eager to improve his cultivation.
Although this gravity snow mountain cannot directly improve one's cultivation, it can temper one's foundation, which is also a very important thing.
People with deep roots can generally improve their cultivation base faster, and they don't have to worry about any side effects.
"Master, look at those Sanxians resting in front of us."
"Well, don't worry about them!"
Not long after, Ye Tianyu and others finally bumped into the five Sanxians who had rested for a long time.
I don't know if it's really for rest, or to wait for them.
Ye Tianyu walked up to them out of breath, and when he was about to pass through, he was stopped by their words.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to climb the mountain so soon! Let's exchange ideas! In this strange place, we can take care of each other!" one of the Sanxian said.
Ye Tianyu paused, looked at the talking Sanxian, and said unceremoniously: "Why do you want to share your experience when climbing a mountain? There is nothing else to take care of. Anyway, in the end, you still have to climb this snow-capped mountain by yourself, or you can try it." Put me on your back."
"..."
The Sanxian who spoke suddenly turned dark.
I can hardly climb anymore, and I still carry someone?Isn't this funny!
The most important thing is that the current gravity is already exaggerated. If you carry another person on your back, it will not be as simple as 1+1=2.
"My friend, why do you reject people thousands of miles away?"
Ye Tianyu shrugged and said, "I can't help it, I'm just so upright!"
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, you can continue to rest, let's go first!"
After speaking, Ye Tianyu signaled everyone to bypass them and continue to climb up.
After watching Ye Tianyu and his party leave, the expressions of the five Sanxians completely fell.
.
"They really don't know what's good or what's wrong! We've said good things to each other many times, but we just ignored them!"
"That's right, what's the big deal, except for the one who fought side by side with us before, the others are weaker than each other, and the old man can slap them to death with a single slap!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for the weird gravity on this snow mountain, I would definitely have taken action to teach him a lesson!"
"I think it's better to forget it! Since they don't want to cooperate with us, why should they put a cold face on their hot ass? I have already said, don't worry about them."
"You're right, I didn't expect him to be so stubborn, and he didn't give any face..."
……
While those loose immortals were still complaining about their rest, Ye Tianyu and the others climbed higher and higher.
Finally, more than 500 meters.
At this position, it seems that there is another hurdle. After taking a few steps, the subsequent pressure doubles.
After Hu Gang took a few steps, he suddenly fell to the ground, shook his head and said profusely with sweat: "Master, it's too bad, I really feel like I can't go up!"
"I can't walk, I'm so tired!" Wu Fan also sat slumped on the ground, and saw that his whole body was eroded by sweat. It was not easy for an ordinary person to persist until now.
Ye Tianyu frowned and nodded, "Then let's rest first!"
This time, everyone took an extra long break!
Soon, he was overtaken by those Loose Immortals who came late.
This time when the two sides met, no one spoke in the middle, and just passed by like this.
Hu Gang felt the changes in his body, and suddenly said pleasantly: "It's amazing, I feel that my strength has increased by one-third compared to when I came in."
Is it so exaggerated?
Ye Tianyu also took a look inside and realized that although his realm had not been directly improved, his real strength had indeed improved a lot.
As Hu Gang said, the actual combat power has increased by at least one-third.
Ye Tianyu quickly took this opportunity to urge, "How is it? Are you motivated now? Then get up quickly and keep going!"
"..."
Hu Gang showed a helpless wry smile.
Now he is really tangled in his heart. If possible, he doesn't want to continue climbing such a hard mountain.
However, leaving this ghost place is indeed a problem!
"Hey, let's go, let's go!"
Hu Gang got up, gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward.
Two thousand and five hundred meters!
Two thousand and five hundred meters!
700 meters...
The distance of 3000 meters is getting closer and closer.
Soon, Hu Gang exclaimed with surprise: "Look, there really is another stele in front of you! The characters on it... are indeed a reward of 3000 meters!"
"I didn't see anything!" Wu Fan pouted.
Hu Gang rolled his eyes and said in a choked voice, "You are an ordinary person with limited eyesight, so of course you can't see it!"
"..."
Wu Fan was completely speechless.
Can you stop talking so bluntly?How can this be accepted...
The remaining two hundred meters away took a lot of time.
When they were about to arrive, the five Loose Immortals who walked ahead had already arrived at the stele ahead of time, and had even received their rewards.
When they came to the stone tablet at 3000 meters, the five Sanxians who had already been rewarded did not say hello, and set off directly to continue climbing.
Ignoring them, Ye Tianyu directly set his eyes on the row of small characters on the stone tablet.
"Rules for receiving 3000-meter rewards: Anyone who comes here can get an attack-type sub-immortal weapon! Put your hand on the stone tablet, and meditate in your heart, you can choose the weapon type!"
Sure enough, the reward at the 3000-meter position was replaced by a second immortal weapon.
However, what makes everyone a little disappointed is that since the limit is only attacking...
