Immortal Cultivating Dynasty

0The crowd walked forward step by step, and as more and more people came, the bridge shook more and more violently.    

    

Suddenly, Uncle Dong's feet became unstable, and one of his feet stepped on air. His body tilted over. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Dong Shan'ao, but then he realized that what he had done was somewhat inappropriate. He immediately moved his other foot away from the stone bridge and fell into the sea of fire.    

    

This sudden change happened in a split second, and no one could react in time. Uncle Dong had already fallen into the sea of fire. Dong Shan'ao immediately shouted, "Father!" Then, he wanted to jump down with Uncle Dong, but he was held back by the people behind him.    

    

Yang Xuan's eyes slightly changed. He wanted to attack, but in the end, he stopped. He wasn't a stone-hearted person, but he wasn't a bad person either. If he just jumped down like this, perhaps he would be in danger as well. So in the end, he still chose to remain silent.    

    

"Father!!!" Dong Shan'ao burst into tears. He was an orphan who had been adopted by Uncle Dong. However, now that he saw Uncle Dong fall into the sea of flames, he couldn't go down with him to save him. He was extremely sad.    

    

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn red, but Dong Shan'ao didn't stop. Because he knew that the stone bridge was constantly shaking. If he didn't follow the frequency of the stone bridge shaking, he would be thrown out by the stone bridge.    

    

Everyone continued forward. The originally quiet group became even more deathly silent.    

    

Suddenly, another person's center of gravity became unstable. Then, like Uncle Dong, he jumped down without any hesitation. This situation happened one after another. When everyone reached the other end of the stone bridge, seven people had already landed.    

    

Only now did everyone understand why Phoenix Ancestor would say that this was a test for everyone's unity. The situation just now had happened one after another. If those people who had lost their footing struggled a little more, it was very likely that they would be thrown off the stone bridge.    

    

After stepping on the other side of the stone bridge, Dong Shan'ao looked at the sea of fire below him and suddenly knelt down. He silently kowtowed three times.    

    

The surrounding people did not kneel down directly, but also bowed towards the sea of fire. These three kowtows and this bow were not only for Uncle Dong, but also for the Mercenary Group members who risked their lives for justice.    

    

After recovering with great difficulty, everyone stood up once again and continued forward.    

    

This time, everyone became nervous because they knew that the road ahead would not be so easy.    

    

Even Yang Xuan became curious and wanted to know what the content of the second stage was. If he remembered correctly, the first stage that Phoenix Ancestor talked about tested unity. However, unity was much crueler than everyone imagined. It was the ultimate unity. For a big group. To sacrifice oneself.    

    

Thus, one could also foresee that the courage required for the second stage would obviously not be simple. No one could say for sure whether it would be the kind of test that would cause one to die without a burial ground if there was even the slightest bit of fear in one's heart.    

    

After descending the stone bridge, another tunnel appeared in front of everyone. It was still very dark inside the tunnel. Everyone walked in the tunnel for a full ten minutes before arriving at the other end of the tunnel.    

    

But after seeing the scene behind the tunnel, everyone was stunned once again.    

    

It was another sea of fire. Lava surged within the sea of fire, forming bubbles from time to time. After the bubbles burst, lava splashed out.    

    

In front of everyone was a mountain wall. This was the only place they could walk.    

    

There was a gap of two meters between the mountain wall and the ground. There were countless small holes on the mountain wall that could be grabbed with one's hand.    

    

"Isn't it very simple?" A mercenary saw the mountain wall that was only a hundred meters tall and immediately smiled in disdain.    

    

This mountain wall might be very scary for ordinary people, but for them, it was very scary. Covering a hundred meters tall mountain wall with their bare hands was a piece of cake. Not to mention the sea of fire below, even if it was a mountain of blades below... They would not be afraid at all.    

    

It was as if you were telling a person that if you drank a mouthful of water, you would die if you didn't finish it.    

    

It wasn't just that person. The others also had similar thoughts. However, just as they were about to step forward, they were stopped by Dong Shan'ao.    

    

"Mr Ao, what are you doing?" The man looked at Dong Shan'ao in confusion. Dong Shan'ao pointed at the small hole on the wall and said, "Look carefully. What is in that hole?"    

    

Everyone looked into the small hole and found that there were many fiery red snakes in the hole. They were looking outside with their tongues sticking out.    

    

"This... This is not a test of courage. This is clearly sending us to our deaths." Everyone's expressions changed. Although they did not know if these snakes were poisonous snakes, they were still shocked. From the fact that they were able to survive here, it could be seen that they were definitely not easy to deal with.    

    

Yang Xuan frowned slightly and also felt that something was wrong.    

    

Using a snake to test courage was indeed a good choice, but in a situation where death was certain, the existence of courage was meaningless and became a boorish person.    

    

The surrounding people hesitated, and Yang Xuan also frowned as he pondered. There must be a way to break out of this situation on this mountain wall, or else this test would be meaningless.    

    

His eyes looked at the mountain wall. In his mind, he simulated his climbing movement. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.    

    

"Everyone, don't be anxious. Look carefully at the small holes on the mountain wall. What's the pattern of their distribution?" Yang Xuan came to the edge of the flat ground and pointed at the small holes on the mountain wall and said to everyone.    

    

Everyone was slightly stunned at first, then they looked at the small holes. The small holes were scattered randomly, as if someone had poked them with something.    

    

Suddenly, Dong Shan'ao patted his head and asked, "Mr Yang, you're saying that there are snakes in these small holes, and there are no snakes, right?"    

    

"That's right. Look at those small holes that don't have snakes. Do you think a person can place his hands and feet in them every so often?" Yang Xuan continued to explain.    

    

This time, Dong Shan'ao understood what Yang Xuan meant. He asked, "That is to say, as long as we keep moving forward every time. We can place our hands and feet in the hole without snakes, then there won't be any danger."    

    

"But the distance between each group is two meters. How are we going to climb?" A mercenary said nervously. Obviously, he was afraid when he saw the snakes.    

    

"It's very simple. Jump over. I think it's very easy to jump two meters from the ground. Except for Miss Jiuwen, the rest of us can do it easily. " Yang Xuan looked around the crowd and asked.    

    

"That's right. As long as you grasp the distance of the jump and don't be afraid. That's right. As long as we can grasp the distance of the jump and don't be afraid, it won't be difficult for us. I think this is also why Senior Phoenix Ancestor called this a test of courage. As long as you have enough courage, you don't even need to use too many techniques." Dong Shan'ao said to everyone.
