Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

The further they walked up the mountain, the lower the temperature became. After Ye Ming and the others walked a thousand feet higher, all the rocks were covered with ice and snow.

And the mountains above here become more and more steep in vain.

But the good thing is that under the reflection of the glacier, the originally weak light becomes brighter.

At this time, the wind of darkness gradually became smaller, but it produced wisps of gray mist for no reason.

"Senior Ye, those gray mist are phantom mist. As soon as you come into contact with these mist, it will produce all kinds of hallucinations, making people trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves. The last time I climbed with my friends, he died. I came here, so I returned without success." Seeing the fog, the red-faced old man explained it to Ye Ming, and looked scared when he remembered what happened last time.

"Then if you dare to come up with me this time, do you have any means to deal with this fog?" Ye Ming asked with an unchanged expression. He had already placed the Brahma bead on his body, and with this bead protecting him, this phantom mist could not have much impact on him.

"I prepared something small, I wonder if it will be useful." The old man smiled bitterly and said that he was prepared, but did not explain what it was.

"Well, just be prepared." Ye Ming didn't ask, he turned to look at Wang Ning.

"You go in front next, and I'm in the middle. I can take care of you properly."

"Yes, elder!" The four-image dragon belt also has the effect of calming the mind and calming the soul, so Wang Ning is also confident in dealing with the phantom fog.

The three of them rested in place for a while, and after gathering some strength, they walked deeper and deeper into the increasingly dense gray fog.

Sure enough, during the subsequent climb, these phantom fogs did not have much impact on Ye Ming and Wang Ning.

But the red-faced old man was not so lucky. He had only climbed dozens of feet high when suddenly he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha...I finally came out, God is really helping me, hahaha." His eyes were filled with endless ecstasy.

He smiled and let go of his hands holding the ice stone.

"Why are you so crazy!" Ye Ming cursed angrily and slapped the old man on the face with his backhand.

A crisp sound of "pop" echoed in the mountains, and the left half of the old man's red face became swollen.

"Uh..." At the same time, his laughter stopped suddenly, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.

After a while, he shook his head excitedly and found that his upper body had straightened up and his center of gravity had shifted back. He was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the ice crystal bulge made by Ye Ming.

"Thank you, senior, for the rescue!" The old man broke out in a cold sweat and said with a scared look on his face.

"Well, be careful and be careful!"

"Yes, senior!"

"Let's go, keep climbing up!" Ye Ming patted Wang Ning's butt in front of him.

"Yeah." His private parts were photographed, and he was not shy at all. He just reminded himself to guard his mind and resist the mysterious hallucinogenic power in the fog.

She had tried it just now. With the four elephants and dragon belts protecting her, normally nothing would happen, but if she thought about it randomly, she would fall into an illusion.

Within the next few hundred feet, the red-faced old man fell into boundless illusions three times in a row.

The most dangerous time was when this person was about to jump down the mountain without any warning. Fortunately, Ye Ming, who was always paying attention to him, pulled him back at the critical moment.

Then he hit the old man's head and face with a series of crackling blows, causing his whole face to swell into a pig's head. The originally dark red face turned bright red, making people laugh.

In addition to the phantom fog during this section of the journey, the mountain roads are also extremely steep. Most of the slopes are 60 or 70 degrees, and the steepest places are even perpendicular to the ground!

It was extremely difficult to climb. Two hours passed before we could reach a height of three to four hundred feet.

In this case, Wang Ning and the old man's physical strength was extremely exhausted. Especially Wang Ning, a person who is not diligent in physical fitness, was already shaky when walking, slipped several times, and almost fell down.

"Be careful, you have a long memory!" Ye Ming held Wang Ning's buttocks, feeling a little angry. This woman had been in danger several times.

"I know, I know, I will be careful." Wang Ning pursed her lips in grievance, then gritted her teeth, clenched the knife in her hand and thrust it hard, piercing it into the ice crystals, using it as a fulcrum to climb up.

But her physical strength was reaching its limit at this time. She had only walked a few feet upward when her feet slipped, her legs split, and she fell to the ground.

"Ah..." Wang Ning screamed and her whole body rolled down.

Ye Ming was startled, quickly bent down and reached out, grabbed Wang Ning's collar, and lifted her up.

"Wow...elder..."

Feeling that her body was no longer sliding down, Wang Ning turned around and hugged Ye Ming tightly. She could no longer hold back her fear and grievance, and burst into tears. Ye Ming stood there quietly, and after she cried for a while, he gently patted her back and comforted her: "Okay! Be strong, there is still a long way to go."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Ning recovered from the huge fear, sniffed, and wiped her tears with her sleeves. However, she was still hanging on Ye Ming, with her hands around Ye Ming's neck, and had no intention of coming down.

Ye Ming sighed, raised his head and looked up carefully at the road he was about to take. After thinking about it for a moment, he turned back and gave instructions to the red-faced old man behind him:

"Yunluo, go ahead!"

"Yes, senior!" The red-faced old man responded with a twitch in his mouth, and then saw him groping inside the thick leather coat for a while and taking out a roll of linen.

After quickly untying the linen, it was wrapped around the shoes layer by layer, and then he slowly climbed up.

During this process, Ye Ming changed Wang Ning's position from holding her in front of his chest to his back, and then quietly watched the old man's movements.

After the old man started walking, Ye Ming followed Wang Ning step by step. Judging from his relaxed steps, it seemed that carrying someone on his back had no impact on him.

Behind Ye Ming, Wang Ning's little head was lying on Ye Ming's shoulder, and the corners of her mouth were raised in a beautiful arc.

……

When they walked up another one or two thousand feet, the surrounding fog disappeared out of thin air, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

At this time, they were standing on a small platform that protruded from the mountain. It was several feet long and wide and covered with thick ice.

Looking up further, you can see the top of the mountain not far away at a glance, which is only a few hundred feet at most.

However, the mountain has obviously slowed down and is far less steep than below.

"Senior Ye, uh, can you rest here for a while? I really can't hold on anymore, uh..." The red-faced old man was sweating profusely and panting heavily as he asked.

During this journey, this person was affected by the phantom mist and fell into life and death crises several times. Ye Ming pulled him back from the edge of death each time. A sudden shock, alternating between hot and cold, made him break into a sweat.

"Then let's take a rest. The road down there should be easier." Ye Ming nodded and put Wang Ning down.

"Oops..." Wang Ning didn't move for a long time. As soon as she touched the ground, her feet went numb, her body tilted, and she couldn't stand steadily.

Ye Ming subconsciously pulled her and asked her to lean against him. Suddenly, Ye Ming felt two soft lumps pressing against his arm. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was the woman's bulging chest that was pressing against her.

"Thank you, elder!" Wang Ning said sheepishly.

"If you can, go and rest yourself." Ye Ming patted her buttocks with his other hand.

"Yeah!" Wang Ning raised her eyes and looked at Ye Ming shyly, then stood up straight and found a place to sit.

The red-faced old man turned a blind eye to the actions between Ye Ming and the two of them. He took out some dried meat and started chewing it. After climbing for so long, he urgently needed to replenish his strength.

After Ye Ming let go of Wang Ning, he observed the surrounding environment from left to right, and looked into the air from time to time. He remembered that there should be many Yin beasts near the top of the mountain, but after a round of observation, he found no trace.

However, he did not relax and remained alert.

……

Not long after resting, Ye Ming suddenly raised his head and looked up into the sky.

I saw a dark cloud suddenly appearing in the sky above my head. This dark cloud pressed down from high altitude at an extremely fast speed, and the black crows were astonishing.

"What is that?" Wang Ning's eyes stayed on Ye Ming. Seeing that his expression was different, she unconsciously looked up into the sky. When she saw the dark cloud, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide and exclaimed!

"It's a flying Yin beast, how come there are so many of them at once!" The red-faced old man stood up with a look of fear on his face.

"You guys hide on the ice wall behind." Ye Ming said solemnly, then a cold light flashed in his sleeves, and two foot-long sharp knives slipped into his hands.

These two sharp knives are a pair of ancient treasures obtained from some unlucky person's storage bag. At this time, they were taken out of the package space. Although they could not exert any power, they could still use their hard and sharp properties. to cope with the current scene.

Wang Ning and the two were horrified. They trotted behind Ye Ming in a few steps. Their backs were pressed against the ice wall. They picked up their short knives in their hands and looked at the flying beast in the sky with trembling eyes.
