Chapter 16 - The Fight against DeathThe Mysterious Moon Wolf King looked around, then walked to the edge of the cliff and looked around. Only then did she leave with the wolf cub"s head in her mouth.
Atop the cliff, which was over ten meters away from the cliff, he used his dagger to ruthlessly stab into the cliff. His other hand was firmly holding onto a rock, he looked down, and saw that it was so deep that he could not see the bottom. At this time, his two feet were hanging in the air, so he could only think of a way to climb up.
After staying on the cliff for a while, Xu Xuan guessed that the pack of wolves had already left, and was preparing to climb up, but the cliff was too steep, causing him to complain in his heart. If he brought a dagger along with him, then he would be able to quickly climb up as if he was swimming, but he only had a dagger on him, which gave him a headache.
After some thought, a hint of madness flashed across his eyes. He had to survive, he couldn"t die just like that."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He raised his head and roared angrily as he channeled his mystical Qi into the fingers of his left hand. His body leaped up as the fingers of his left hand pierced into the rocks of the mountain.A piercing pain came, but he was glad that his fingers had finally found their way in.
Then, he pulled the dagger up with his left hand, holding back the pain, and stabbed the dagger into the mountain rock above.
As a result, Xu Xuan discovered that he had indeed traveled quite a bit. However, at this time, the skin on the fingers of his left hand was already broken, and blood was continuously dripping out.
But in order to live, even if it was even more painful, Xu Xuan could only endure it. At this time, he suddenly thought of Zhuge Haotian"s eyes, recalled the condescending looks from Duan Choufeng and the others, and even remembered his own father"s kind smile."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He let out another furious roar, and the fingers of his left hand once again stabbed into the rocks of the mountain. More blood flowed out, and he was in so much pain that his face paled.
"Strength, what I need is strength. If I were to use seven stages of mystical Qi right now, I would be able to release profound energy outwards, causing profound energy to seep into my fingers, so why would I suffer such pain? Only strength will be able to change everything!"At this moment, Xu Xuan"s heart was extremely firm. Without strength, wanting to live would be so arduous, only then would he be humiliated by others. He desired strength, wished to become stronger.
He pulled again with his right hand, and the dagger stabbed upwards once more, followed by the d.a.m.ned left hand.
Right now, Xu Xuan had two different feelings. He had a dagger on his right hand, as if he was in heaven, and his left hand didn"t have a dagger. It was as if he was in h.e.l.l, treating him differently.
He took a few deep breaths before moving forward again. A heart-wrenching pain a.s.saulted him, causing him to cry out involuntarily. The profound energy in his body was also diminishing bit by bit.When he was only four or five meters away from the top of the cliff, Xu Xuan"s entire face became as pale as a sheet of paper, without a single trace of blood left. At this time, his left hand had already become badly mutilated, and was incomparably painful, almost causing him to faint several times, but he still continued to persevere.
"I"ve already traveled two-thirds of the way through. Could it be that I can still be stopped by one-third of the way through?"
Xu Xuan firmly told himself in his heart, but at the same time, he knew in his heart that the later one got, the more difficult it would be.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"With another roar, he withstood the pain and stabbed his left hand viciously into the rocks again. Immediately, a piece of flesh fell off his finger mercilessly, revealing the dense white bones on his finger. It was very obvious in the dark.
"I want to become stronger! I want to become stronger!"He kept roaring in his heart. His small body unexpectedly exploded with an extremely powerful conviction. His body fiercely jumped, his right hand once again pulled out the dagger and stabbed upwards into the mountain rock.
This moment was undoubtedly extremely painful. The moment his right hand pulled out the dagger, his entire body"s strength could only be endured by his left hand. Every moment was the edge of extreme pain, but his belief in his survival was incomparably strong.
Xu Xuan was extremely clear in his heart. With the Five Spiritual Arts and the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade, he already had the capital to become strong, he desired to become strong, to use his strength to wash away his shame, and to recover the glory that belonged to him and his clan. So, he could not die.
"I"m not trash!"
He shouted again and leaped like a fish, stabbing his left hand into the rocks above with all his might.
Three meters, two meters, one meter.
As time pa.s.sed, he was getting closer and closer to the top of the cliff. Xu Xuan also became incredibly weak, not only was there no blood and flesh on the fingers of his left hand, even his knees and body were torn through due to the repeated rubbing and knocking against the mountain walls.
This made him even more speechless. The Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade in his body continuously emitted light, wanting to heal his injuries, but this recovery clearly could not make up for his loss of energy. The only fortunate thing was that the cool feeling that came from his body made him feel a lot more comfortable, so he did not faint immediately."What should I do?"
The waves of dizziness that came from Xu Xuan"s brain was actually suppressed by his incomparably tired willpower! He had endured so much on this journey, how could he be willing? However, he did not have any mystical Qi and he did not have much stamina left. He could only rely on his own willpower to hang himself, how could he continue forward?He was only missing two or three moves to successfully escape danger, but to Xu Xuan, this time, it was extremely extravagant. He was incredibly tired in his heart, and his eyes also started to blur.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind a little. Without his physical strength and mystical Qi, it was impossible for him to climb the last meter by just relying on his willpower.
Just as he was about to fall into despair, he heard the low cry of a bird, causing him to subconsciously look up.
What appeared in front of him was a small bird that only had a thumb sized bird, its entire body had seven colors, it looked extremely beautiful, its body was small and agile, it was extremely light, its voice was extremely melodious, its eyes had a sense of doubt, as though it could speak, it was staring at Xu Xuan in a daze.Xu Xuan revealed a bitter smile, it was just a little bird, how could it help him?
"Little bird, you aren"t going to wait for me to fall down and eat my meat, are you? "Hmm, let me see. With this little body of yours, it should be enough for you to eat for one year. No, it might be enough for you to eat for two years!"
He was getting closer and closer to death. After smiling bitterly, Xu Xuan started to joke around with the little bird, but he never expected that the little bird would actually be so understanding of human nature, and actually glance sideways at him, making him speechless. He never expected that before his death, he would be despised by a little bird, but he could do nothing about it.
It flapped its little wings and flew away, causing Xu Xuan to feel a little lost. If it was a flying immortal, he would have been fine, but it was just a bird, unable to save himself.Xu Xuan laughed bitterly once again, he felt that he was too whimsical. It was currently night time, how could any immortals pa.s.s by? To have a little bird to witness his death, perhaps it was the heavens taking care of him.
"Ji ji!"
Just as Xu Xuan was feeling desperate, the little bird that was about to fly away suddenly flew back.
"Hur hur, you wouldn"t really want to wait for me to eat my meat, right?"Xu Xuan slowly raised his head, but after a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and his expression became incomparably shocked!
