Chapter 66 Climbing the Cliff

500 strange soldiers have arrived at the Black Mountain Cliff in the afternoon, and this time their situation is much better than when Xu Jinghong and others explored the way. Because of previous experience, everyone put the unknown grass leaves used to remove the poison of miasma gas in their mouths, so although the miasma is getting worse and worse now, everyone is still energetic. After Wang Junqing's order, they began to climb the mountain.

Wang Junqing did not have the pre-war excitement like everyone, but was very quiet. Because he knows very well that the most important thing in this battle is the mentality. Only by climbing up calmly can he win. So after looking at the sky, he said to several teams around him, "Let everyone take a break and refresh yourself to go up and fight with the barbarians!"

After everyone leaned against the trees and sat down, Wang Junqing looked at his son Wang Liehai: "Are you sure you want to go up?"

"Yes, I'm also a soldier in the scout camp, and martial arts are not under others, so naturally I have to go!" Wang Liehai's answer is the same as before. Although Wang Junqing did not allow his son to take this risk before, he finally failed to resist him and brought him here, but this does not mean that Wang Junqing is not worried. After all, he only has such a son.

"Xu Jinghong is younger than me. Since he can go up, I can naturally do it." After seeing his father's silence, Wang Liehai added another sentence. These days, seeing Xu Jinghong's status in the eyes of his brothers in the camp, he is very uncomfortable. He always wants to prove in front of others that he can do what he can do.

Wang Junqing smiled bitterly and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had to shut up. Xu Jinghong also looked at Wang Liehai with a smile. He had already mastered the other party's thoughts, but he did not pay attention to it. Because he can see that Wang Liehai did not have any bad thoughts because of his rise, but just wanted to surpass it with his strength. This is the spirit that young people should have, and it is also the source of the scout camp to maintain a strong fighting spirit. He is also happy to see this kind of benign competition between himself and others, as long as it doesn't miss big things.

Time passed little by little in the waiting, and the sky finally darkened completely. However, Wang Junqing had no intention of ordering. He still held his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes and pretended to lie down. It was not until he felt two days that he suddenly opened his eyes: "Everyone get up and move. It's time to go up the mountain!"

Suddenly, the soldiers who had been waiting impatient for a long time stood up together. They quickly sorted out the messy clothes because they had been sitting for a long time, pulled out the sword and looked carefully and inserted them back. After sorting everything out, their captains sent ropes with arm thickness to the hands of a group of five, and they quickly tied the ropes to their waists.

Although many people don't know what this rope does, since Wang Junqing had ordered to do so before coming, everyone did not refuse. Among them, many soldiers who had picked medicine on the edge of the cliff showed admiration, and only they knew that the rope could save people's lives when climbing the cliff.

When everything was ready, Wang Junqing nod to Xu Jinghong: "The task of opening the way is left to you!"

Yes! "I'm going to the humble position!" After answering, Xu Jinghong rushed straight to the woods like a sharp arrow and rushed to the cliff. When he came to the cliff, he did not slow down, but turned the forward force into an upward jump. After jumping high, he put his whole body on the mountain wall and climbed up quickly.

The other soldiers were not willing to fall behind, followed by and rushed up, and suddenly a group of people went up to the mountain wall. However, their movements are far worse than Xu Jinghong's. Except for some people who have the best skills or are often up and down the cliff, they can follow closely, but because they are all connected with ropes, they still distance after a while.

Wang Liehai was among these people and looked up at Xu Jinghong, who was as flexible as an ape. He just wanted to take the rope around his waist immediately and follow him. But in the end, he gave up this reckless idea. He still knew the use of these ropes, and he could not ignore his own safety because of a momentary struggle.

Xu Jinghong at the front climbed up with all his strength. Because of the previous experience, this move was even faster, but it seemed that he had reached more than 20 feet in a moment. However, he did not dare to be too careless. This time is different from the previous time, because this time he can bear the heavy responsibility of opening the way for the brothers behind him, and there must be no loss.

When everyone reached 20 feet, Xu Jinghong had stayed at the place where he had saved himself when he fell down. And his speed also slowed down at this moment, just because he needed to continue what he had not done before - to carve out depressions for people to climb on the mountain wall to ensure everyone's safety.

And after passing these 20 feet high, these elites finally knew that the cliff was difficult to climb. Although there is still a place for people to focus on this area, it is much more difficult than the previous journey. It often takes a long time to find a safe focus. In this way, the speed of everyone going up has slowed down significantly.

Wang Liehai carefully pedaled a raised mountain stone, adjusted his breath and continued to the next step. At this time, the rope on his waist suddenly tightened, which scared him to immediately clasped the mountain wall with his hands, and the other three team members not far away also hurriedly pulled the rope on his body to pull the brother back from the edge of the fall.

Soon, the same situation occurred in other groups, but because of the existence of the "safety rope" that connects the five people together, everyone is finally thrilling. It was not until this time that everyone understood Xu Jinghong's good intentions to propose this method. Without these ropes, several people would have fallen down this road. And once they fall and scream, I'm afraid they will immediately shock the barbarians above, thus putting everyone in absolute predicament.

Those short blades have also played a significant role in these thrilling scenes. If a few people hadn't inserted the knife into the mountain wall to stop the momentum, I'm afraid that things would not have been solved so easily.

And when everyone found that the mountain wall above was so smooth and flat that there was almost no gap that could be borrowed. After the depression cut out by one person, everyone admired Xu Jinghong, who opened the way forward. Even Wang Liehai has to admit that Xu Jinghong's ability is above himself. Whether it is forward-looking to the problems that everyone may encounter or personal ability, this younger teenager is far better than himself.

"Only as I am the best of the young generation in the Southwest Army, but compared with him, I am still too bad. Wang Liehai sighed secretly. This is also the pride of the son of the door. He will not know that he is not as good as the other party as some people, but he is still unconvinced and even wants to harm people in the dark. Since your skills are not as good as others, you should learn from others in the future and strive to compete with them as soon as possible.

Xu Jinghong was not in the mood to experience the thoughts of the people below at this time, because he had put all his efforts on the mountain wall. In order to go up safely, this time he was extremely careful to chisel the mountain wall and minimize the sound. It was also because of his caution that under the cover of the mountain wind, the sound of his chisel did not spread.

Finally, after almost an hour of work, Xu Jinghong finally finished everything that had not been done before. At this time, the short blade in his hand had been worn less than half, and there was some damage in the mouth of the tiger. But he didn't deal with it much. After biting the short blade on his mouth, Xu Jinghong's hands and feet kept going up. He had to go up earlier to clean up the possible enemies for everyone.

Finally, at the end of the third update, Xu Jinghong came to the top of the cliff. After hiding his body in the dark of the cliff, he clasped the ground on the cliff with both hands, and then slowly leaned his head out of the cliff and looked at both sides.

Unlike the previous time, there were actually four people standing on the cliff this time. Although they turned their backs to the cliff, Xu Jinghong, who came out, was still a little shocked: "I didn't expect the barbarians to be defensive this time. If you can't solve them all in one fell swoop silently, I'm afraid that the noise of the people who came up behind will shock them. Thinking of this, he has made up his mind to get rid of these people quickly. While sinking his body again, he has stretched out his right hand and pulled out the sword on his back, and then planned how to do it.

The four people on the cliff didn't know that there was an enemy behind them, and they still whispered, "What's the use of the leader asking us to stare here in the middle of the night?"

"Didn't he think it's unsafe here? In fact, Song people's ability can't even climb the front, let alone the back cliff that is so steep that even apes can't climb. We were just ordered to stand for one night, and everyone put up with it.

While several people seemed to complain and seemed to speak helplessly, Xu Jinghong had come out again, and this time he did not stop. While his head was exposed, he had already shouted from under the cliff, and the sword in his hand also cut into the throat of the barbarian who was closer to him. At the same time, his left hand had After taking the short blade on his mouth, he wiped it on another person's throat at the same time.

"Puff! Poo-sss!" The two defenseless barbarians were solved by him in one fell swoop, and the two on the other side also turned their heads at this time, looked at all this in surprise, and then suddenly opened their mouths to scream...
