Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 55 Thanks
On the stele.

The third phase.

Warren finally climbed to the "big rock wall" where Noah almost fell.

Before that, he spent a full six hours, almost double that of Noah.

The second night is over.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and a ray of white light had already appeared outside the courtyard.

If Warren doesn't clear the level again, it will be daytime.

Although Sun Simiao did not say what accidents would happen "climbing in the daytime".

But after the "Stone Tablet Rules", no one dared to ignore his warning.

It was obvious that Warren was also anxious.

He didn't rest as long as Noah did near the crevice, and continued to move to the left.

"Don't worry... don't worry..."

Jiatu looked at him and said silently in his heart.

His grip on Hena became stronger and stronger.

But he didn't care about these.

He silently watched Warren's movements.

The ponytail boy was dangling on the cliff, like a piece of gray duckweed, which might fall down at any time.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiatu realized how dangerous this route was——

How difficult it is to pass the third round of testing.

But perhaps it was the long years of martial arts training that had tempered Warren's body, making it so unbelievable that he climbed to Noah's final jumping point with only two arms and one right foot.

"It's still close...don't worry...don't worry..."

Jiatu's heart was pounding, and his vision narrowed a bit.

He felt his temples were hot, and the skin on his forehead was strangled badly.

As if hearing Jiatu's warning, Warren stopped before the final jumping point.

This made Jiatu heave a sigh of relief.

He silently followed Warren's movements.

About 10 minutes of rest...

should be enough...

Quickly adjust your posture...

Resting on a rock face does not fully restore strength...

Can't rest for too long...

Move your body quickly...or it will become stiff...

For some reason, as Warren stopped for longer and longer, the scene of the first climber getting stuck between two rock cracks and finally falling due to exhaustion of physical strength gradually emerged in Jiatu's mind.

He felt his heart pounding, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

However, just when he was about to look away, he heard Hena whisper beside him:

"Moved……"

Jiatu looked up suddenly, but saw Warren's body move.

The ponytail boy switched his footsteps, landed on his left foot, and at the same time retracted his body——

Made exactly the same moves as Noah!He rushed to the opposite rock crevice!
It worked!
With the experience of Noah, Jiatu just glanced at the climbing point and knew that Warren had successfully passed the level!
Much more beautifully done than Noah's!
However, in Jiatu's heart, along with the excitement, a boulder quietly fell.

"Sure enough... the last jumping point, even with Hua Lun's physical fitness, can't jump over it with one leg..."

Jiatu felt that his emotions and body were completely separated.

His mind was full of joy, and he was sincerely happy for Warren's success.

But his body seemed to be filled with lead water, constantly falling down, falling——

Incomparably heavy.

"Well, the second night is also over."

As Hua Lun also turned over and climbed up the rock wall, Sun Simiao checked the time and announced to the people who landed:

"You still have six hours. I will not allow you to climb until 12 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Those who haven't tried it yet, hurry up."

Jiatu saw Sun Simiao's eyes sweeping over himself and Hena, and then looked at the other losers.

Compared to Jiatu, the others were much more depressed.

Because of the third wall, it was too difficult for most of them.

Not to mention reaching the "jumping point" like Noah and Warren, most of them couldn't even complete the initial "crack confrontation".

But there are still many people who choose to stick to it.

"There is one last day! Must succeed!"

In their eyes, Jiatu saw a look similar to his own——

Although there is no basis, but I still feel that I can succeed in the "eyes".

.

Day three.

Trimming time.

Warren didn't show his face after climbing up the giant monument.

This made Jiatu feel a little lost.

He had expected Warren to send him some messages in sign language.

As a result, Warren did not show up.

This confused him slightly.

But Jiatu knew that Warren had done enough.

He couldn't expect Warren to use his life to verify that the last jumping point could be passed with one foot.

"In any case, on the last day, you must climb up and try... Even if you think it's not good, you have to wait until the jumping point before giving up..."

Jiatu thought silently in his heart.

He cleaned the floor where he slept, planned to eat something, and went straight to rest.

But he didn't want to, Hena stopped him from behind.

"Are you still going to try it?"

Chito turned around in surprise.

But he saw the girl's extremely confident eyes.

He instantly gave up his plan of sophistry, and said helplessly:
"Is it that obvious?"

"...It's strange that it wasn't exposed?"

Hena tilted her head a little cutely, then withdrew her teasing, and said lightly: "You promised me before that you wouldn't let the two of you take risks together—so you plan to wait for me to succeed before proceeding with the challenge, right? "

Jia Tu did not speak.

But it is equivalent to the default.

"What would you do if I left before 'twelve midnight'?"

Hena couldn't help asking.

"Then I will hang on the cliff and wait until you succeed or give up."

Jiatu sighed, and confessed his plan:
"Anyway, what Sun Simiao said was 'we are not allowed to climb'. There is no limit to when we must give up. As long as I don't come down from the stone wall, then my challenge is not over."

"Even if it's possible to face 'daylight'?"

Hannah continued to ask.

"Do you think my body can climb all the distance in twelve hours?"

Jiatu smiled, noncommittal, as if he had already made such a plan.

"...You are really self-centered..."

Hena couldn't help but said.

"Feel sorry……"

Only when Hena said this, Jiatu couldn't refute.

What's more, he has long been aware of this.

Whether he intends to delay everyone's return time through his own efforts, or he still insists on going his own way when he knows that he and Hera care about him—

But it's all too "self-centered".

"But...forget it..."

However, Hena was the first to speak: "Even I am just using you according to 'my own ideas'... saying it is for the benefit of you and mother...but that is only my own." Autocratic'……"

"'Arbitrariness'..."

Jiatu murmured again.

The girl nodded: "Even though I care about you, mother and Heda, in the test of 'life', I am still just a 'solo climber' after all."

"A 'co-climber' named 'solo climber'."

Jiatu interrupted her at this moment, and stretched out his right fist to her:
"Even though we can only rely on ourselves during the climbing process, our determination to climb shines because of the presence of other people."

Jiatu said very seriously.

He bent down and thanked Hena for the first time in the past three years:
"Thank you and Hera for your care."

"I've made up my mind—"

"So no matter what the result is, please bear with me."
