On the other side, Qin Jue was trapped on the eleventh mountain.

Because Xie Linlang was walking fast, there was no one there at this time, and in front of Qin Jue, there was a vertical staircase as tall as two people.

It is said to be a ladder, but it is actually very vivid. This mountain is different from other mountains. There are not many trees from bottom to top, especially near the top of the mountain. It is completely bare, and the mountain wall is straight up and down. Just like the steps cut by the gods with a huge axe, some are short, some are high, and the heights are high and low, spreading all the way to the sky.

Climbing to this position, Qin Jue has already climbed many steps, but this is the first one at this height.

He looked around and wanted to find another way up the mountain nearby, but he couldn't. There was a steeper mountain wall at the edge of the stone steps.

He looked up, flexing his wrists while thinking about how to climb up.

He is used to the weight on his hands and feet. Although he is tired all the way up, he is not unable to persevere. He can also accurately capture the breath in his body, but because there is too little true energy, it is not enough for him to turn over the " steps".

Qin Jue wanted to insert his dagger into the mountain so that he could use his strength to climb up, but he tried. The stone wall in front of him was very regular, and his dagger couldn't get in at all.

The range of activities around him is also very small, making it impossible for him to run. The key is that there are no stones or trees, so he can't even build a ladder.

How to go up?

The sky darkened little by little, the sun was setting, and the mountain wind became cooler. Qin Jue tried all kinds of methods to no avail, and finally spent two hours grinding the dagger on the stone wall little by little. insert it!

With the dagger as a base point, Qin Jue wiped the sweat from his forehead, took two steps back, and stepped on it!

But after he went up, before he had gone far, there was another similar "step" in front of him, and it was higher and smoother than the previous one!

This is really... Obviously he is not far from the top of the mountain, but under the obstruction of these "steps", it is almost impossible to reach the top.

It's too late for him to go down the mountain and change another way now, and with his current physical strength, he may not be able to walk down the steps that he managed to climb up before, and the key point is that he doesn't want to turn back.

... The moon gradually climbed to the west, and the mountain became colder and quieter.

But in this silence, from time to time, the sound of running, jumping, falling, repeated.

Beads of sweat rolled down Qin Jue's cheeks. He tried to jump up the steps again and again, but he missed every time... But he couldn't stop, because the temperature on the top of the mountain had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and the surroundings were constantly buzzing. There are no trees, and there is no way to keep warm. He can only keep trying. If he fails once, he will go ten times, and if he fails ten times, he will go a hundred times. He will always go up!

But countless failures drained not only physical strength, but also patience. When Qin Jue wanted to run up for the countless run-ups, the moment he jumped up, his knees softened and fell down. At this time, he felt Acupuncture-like pain in both knees, it seems that he is really going to be stuck here.

"Look, my little Highness is in trouble!"

Xie Linlang's voice suddenly sounded from above her head, and she poked her head out from above the stone wall, propped her chin with her hands, and looked down at him.

"Seeing that you haven't followed, I thought you were taken away by a wild beast, but I didn't expect to be trapped here. Why didn't you call for help? If you call me, I will definitely show up."

Perhaps because it was too close to the sky, Qin Jue raised her head upon hearing the sound, only to see the sky full of stars falling in her direction, and her eyes were also bright, as if stars were secretly hiding in it...

"I..." He started, but didn't know how to start.

Said he had no intention of asking for help? Or, he didn't trust anyone for a long time, so he only wanted to rely on himself from the beginning to the end, even if he couldn't do it by himself, he was stubborn and made unnecessary attempts here.

Seeing that he was silent, Xie Linlang narrowed her eyes and said again.

"Speaking of which, I have been following you for more than ten days. In the past ten days, to be honest, you have given me many surprises...

Several times, I thought you were dead, you had reached your limit, but you always managed to break through, in a way that I didn't expect, but you know what? Watching you grow stronger quickly, I'm not very happy. "

Why?

Qin Jue frowned at her.

At this time, his whole body was bathed in the starlight, he couldn't see how embarrassed he was, and he couldn't see his wounds were bleeding. All his mind was devoted to becoming stronger, so the eyes that looked at him were also firm. , pure, just like this mountain, tough and sharp.

Xie Linlang said slowly, "You are breaking through the limit, but what made you break through is your hatred for your enemy.

I didn't think it was a big deal at first, after all, it was a way to become stronger.

But on the road ahead, you obviously have many opportunities to treat yourself better and at least get less hurt, but your hatred is too heavy, you hate others, and you hate yourself, so you don’t care about your body at all. For the first time, I pushed myself into a desperate situation..."

She paused for a moment when she said this, and then her voice gently melted into the wind.

"...Perhaps...from the moment you came back with the empress's body in your arms, you didn't intend to live. The Qin Jue I see right now is just a corpse controlled by hatred.

You come from hell, no matter how hard you try, it’s just to drag more people into hell, so, should I be happy? "

Qin Jue lowered his head in silence for a long time, then slowly stood up, showing her a pale smile.

"You're right, I'm just a corpse now, a puppet, but what does that matter?"

He looked up at Xie Linlang, the sky full of stars illuminated his ink-like eyes, and also illuminated his loneliness.

"...As long as I can get revenge, I don't care whether it's hate or resentment.

And I found that hate is the most powerful thing in this world, it is it, let me survive the betrayal of relatives, and it is also it, let me break through the near-death situation again and again.

I can't even live in front of you without it...

It's the strongest power I have, shouldn't I hold on tight? "

Xie Linlang was taken aback by his question. This scene reminded her of Qin Jue asking him why an enemy could be a bad person but he couldn't.

There was no way to answer these, so she stood up slowly, stood on the edge of the vertical stone wall, looked down at him and said.

"If hatred is really that strong, can you climb this stone wall with the support of hatred?"

With that said, she took a few steps back and said solemnly.

"If hatred can really make a person omnipotent, then you come up and prove it to me. I allow you to take off the shackles on your body and convince me with your actions."
