chapter 7 mysterious woman

Zuo Hou looked at the thin figure in front of him, his heart full of confusion and doubts, but he still followed him firmly.

The two of them were in deep danger at the moment. If it were him, he would definitely take this opportunity to leave as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be playing into the enemy's plan to go back to the canyon?

Hallan Kirkland, who was moving forward quickly, glanced at Lowell Kirkland, who was catching up quickly with his peripheral vision, and said with a smile.

"We are only temporarily safe. After the enemies from the three directions find that they can't find any trace of me, I'm afraid they will have two choices. One is to expand the search area, and the other is to come back and search carefully again."

Seeing Lowell Kirkland thoughtful expression, Hallan Kirkland continued: "No matter what they choose, there will be a lot of risk in leaving here now."

"But, didn't you just judge that there would be their arrangements in the valley? Going back to the valley like this would be the same as throwing yourself into a trap."

Hallan Kirkland showed a confident smile and said, "Have I ever said that we are going to enter through the mouth of the valley?"

More than an hour later, on the mountain wall in the north of the canyon.

"Huh, hurry up, pull me up, I can't do it anymore."

Lowell Kirkland body, almost soaked in sweat, clung to the mountain wall. His thin palms stretched out tremblingly, waving them in the air while shouting feebly.

Hallan Kirkland smiled helplessly, grabbed his outstretched thin palm, and lifted him up with a little force.

The location where the two of them were at this time was on top of a big tree growing slantingly inside the mountain wall.

Arriving at the big tree that no one could hug, Lowell Kirkland lay down on his back, panting heavily. From the corner of his eye, he saw Hallan Kirkland with a smile on his face and said with a slight anger.

"Even if we don't throw ourselves into a trap, we don't have to torture ourselves like this. Your great idea almost killed me. You don't know how many times I almost fell off this hundred-foot-high mountain wall. I am determined not to go there again." Up."

Hallan Kirkland nodded and said, "Then you wait for me here. If I don't come back before dawn, you will find a way to leave here alone."

Lowell Kirkland looked at Hallan Kirkland with a puzzled face and said: "From your tone, it seems that there is a possibility of not coming back. In this case, why do you have to risk going to the top of the mountain? I find that I can't understand your thoughts more and more. .”

Hallan Kirkland planned to take him to the top of the mountain. He also wanted to temporarily escape from danger. Hallan Kirkland has always been worried about this conspiracy against him. He had a hunch that in this conspiracy, the person who attacked him a year ago was also involved.

So he planned to go around the mouth of the valley from the top of the mountain, and then quietly go down to the inside of the canyon to find out. The layout and situation at the bottom of the valley were completely unclear. It was only a few people who took Lowell Kirkland to take risks, so he did not want Lowell Kirkland to accompany him into the valley.

Lowell Kirkland proposed not to go to the top of the mountain, which was exactly what Hallan Kirkland wanted. The enemy's target is himself. If he is in danger in the valley, the possibility of Lowell Kirkland leaving safely will be very high.

Hallan Kirkland turned around, waved his hand in the same cool and unrestrained manner, and started climbing towards the top of the mountain again.

Dongshan is actually the collective name for dozens of nearby hills, but the tallest among them are the mountains on both sides of the canyon. From a distance, the mountain, more than a hundred feet high, reaches straight into the clouds, forming a canyon in the middle as if someone had split it open with a sharp weapon.

Hallan Kirkland chose this high mountain in the north. The reason he chose this mountain was because there was such a big tree in the middle of the mountain that could accommodate a foothold. The further you go past the middle section, the steeper the climb becomes. With Hallan Kirkland level 4 cultivation level, it was extremely difficult to climb, and he almost fell to the bottom of the mountain several times when he was in danger.

About three hours later, Hallan Kirkland finally reached the top of the mountain. Hallan Kirkland let his body cling to the mountain wall. If the strong wind blew around him, his body would be wiped out. Alternately hold the protruding stone on the mountain wall with one hand, shaking your wrist slightly, and rest for the last time.

After taking a few breaths, he raised his head again and looked towards the top of the mountain, which was less than ten feet high. His eyes were full of determination and persistence.

When a thin and white hand grasped the rock on the top of the mountain, the sky was already dark, and it was still a little short of reaching the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, a stone on which Hallan Kirkland toes were stepping loosened, and then the stone fell, and his whole body sank suddenly.

Zuo Hallan Kirkland could no longer squeeze out any strength from his body, and could only hold on with his right hand that reached the top of the mountain. Hallan Kirkland's thin body kept flying with the strong wind on the top of the mountain, like leaves blown off by the autumn wind at any time.

Hallan Kirkland felt the emptiness in the air sea, and the shadow of death hung over his heart, but he still refused to give up. After enduring so much pain and torture, how could he die here so cowardly?

The drop-shaped bulge on his chest that had been dormant for a long time seemed to be inspired by his will to survive, and suddenly emitted a white halo. If this light were not inside his clothes, the bandits at the foot of the mountain would have noticed it immediately. As the halo flickered, Hallan Kirkland's dry sea of ​​​​qi suddenly emerged with a ball of spiritual energy carrying a trace of electricity.

The next moment, two silver-white electric rays erupted from Hallan Kirkland's eyes, and the full spiritual energy immediately poured into his right arm. The next moment, Hallan Kirkland's body had jumped up high, even more than two feet higher than the top of the mountain.

Before the surprise on his face faded, it was replaced by panic. The huge wind pressure blew Hallan Kirkland, who was in mid-air, off course.

At this time, Hallan Kirkland's calm mind came into play. He realized that his body was in danger of being blown away. He immediately hugged his body into a ball, so that the impact of the wind on his body was also minimized.

"Bang"

A dull sound sounded, and Hallan Kirkland's body fell heavily on the rocks on the top of the mountain. Regardless of the pain in his body, he climbed up and looked at the abyss a few feet away with lingering fear. Hallan Kirkland felt as happy as having lived in two lifetimes.

The huge strong wind was blowing to the Hallan Kirkland, and he felt cold all over his body. It was not until this moment that he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Regardless of the uncomfortable feeling of sweat all over his body, he just sat cross-legged like this. It was crucial to restore his spiritual energy as soon as possible. After burning the incense, Hallan Kirkland took a long breath and stood up slowly, and then he paid attention to his surroundings.

The top of the mountain is not small, about ten feet long and six or seven feet wide, with a sparse forest growing in the center.

Hallan Kirkland felt happy when he saw this forest, and then he took out his dagger and walked over. He carefully scraped off a strip of bark and put it on his shoulders. He didn't want to risk climbing down to the bottom of the valley. He was going to use the bark to make a rope.

As he continued to enter the woods, he found that there seemed to be something there, which made him feel a little depressed.

Hallan Kirkland hesitated for a moment, then strode towards the woods. Because there seems to be no hostility in this kind of suppression, and the enemy will never ambush him on this hundred-foot-high mountain top.

Suddenly, Hallan Kirkland's eyes narrowed slightly, and a blurry figure appeared in front of him in the sparse forest.

The figure was very strange, as if it appeared suddenly. He couldn't tell what feeling that figure gave him. It was as if nothing existed there, but he could really see a figure in his eyes, and it seemed that the figure would dissipate in the wind at any time.

"Could it be that all this depression comes from this woman? Then her cultivation level is too terrifying."

Hallan Kirkland, who had a solemn look on his face, thought and approached the figure warily. When the distance got closer, he could see the figure completely.

Judging from her figure, she must be a woman. A long black cloak wraps her head and body, and with a long scarf wrapped around her face, only her closed eyes can be seen.

Hallan Kirkland could tell from his eyes that this was a young woman. It was hard to imagine that the pressure that made Hallan Kirkland a little breathless came from the young woman in front of him who looked not much older than him.

The woman seemed to be running some kind of skill, causing the surrounding auras of heaven and earth to continuously converge here, and the pressure Hallan Kirkland felt was caused by this.

After observing for a moment, Hallan Kirkland knew that he could not interfere with the opponent's performance, so he stood far away and no longer moved forward.

Suddenly, waves of cold air emanated from the woman's surroundings. From the exposed skin at the corners of her eyes, it could be clearly seen that the woman's complexion was gradually turning pale, and her body was shaking as if she was afraid of the cold.

Hallan Kirkland was surprised to find that the surrounding temperature had become as cold as winter at this moment, and the woman's changes seemed to have some problems with her luck.

Hallan Kirkland was very conflicted in his heart. He was hesitant to step forward to help. It was difficult to tell the difference between friend and foe. If the other party misunderstood him, considering the momentum he just had, killing him would be a matter of hands.

But even if he wanted to lend a helping hand, with his current cultivation level, he would not be able to have any effect at all.

After thinking for a moment, Hallan Kirkland seemed to have thought of something, turned around and rushed towards the dense forest.

It was not long before Hallan Kirkland came back with a pile of branches and lit a bonfire not far from the woman. As the flames gradually grew larger, the surrounding temperature also increased slightly. Hallan Kirkland took a few steps back and sat down quietly.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end. He knew that it was most important not to be disturbed when he was doing his exercises. Just like the last time he broke through when he was interfered by Indra Peck, he suffered serious internal injuries. The woman in front of him had unfathomable cultivation and her skills were even more bizarre. If he had been disturbed, he would have been seriously injured.

Hallan Kirkland originally planned to wait for the woman to finish her performance before leaving, but after waiting for half an hour, the woman was still as motionless as a stone sculpture. After looking at the sky, if we wait any longer, our plan to explore the valley tonight will definitely come to nothing.

Hallan Kirkland sighed helplessly and prepared to get up and leave. Just when he stood up and looked at the woman for the last time, he noticed that there seemed to be some changes in her. After careful observation, he was shocked to find that the woman seemed to be older than when he first saw her.

Although only a little bit of skin around the eyes could be seen, the originally smooth and fair skin looked a little dull at this moment, and the complexion also turned a little yellow.

The surrounding air seemed to suddenly become still, and even the strong wind on the top of the mountain stopped at this moment. The surrounding spiritual energy rippled, and the center of the ripples was the mysterious woman.

'What kind of skill is this? It has such domineering power. Hallan Kirkland stared at the woman in front of him with a shocked face, and sighed unconsciously in his heart. The fluctuation of spiritual energy made Hallan Kirkland involuntarily take a few steps back.

The mysterious woman slowly opened her eyes at this moment. The moment Hallan Kirkland's eyes met these eyes, there was a loud "boom" like thunder in her mind, and her whole body froze in place.
