Chapter 411 Climbing to the top, advanced!
Gretel didn't notice that his oak stick grew a little taller.

—In fact, he didn't even glance at the head of the staff.With his head down and his waist bowed, he climbed up with difficulty.The spiritual shield is intertwined around the body, protecting the master, struggling to push up:

step!
step!
One more step!
Chest oppression, dizziness, black eyes.Gretel didn't dare to stop, pulled the hose, and sucked in two big mouthfuls.The strange taste rolled over the tip of his tongue, and he unconsciously frowned:
Ah, the taste of glucose + salt water, I can't get used to it no matter how many times I drink it.However, this is the only way to replenish energy quickly...

Then climb up!

The mental power is suppressed, and then rushes up, suppresses again, and then rushes up...

Standing in the snow and looking up, you can see the dragon's nest above the steep slope with just a glance, and the distance seems to be within reach.The huge square rock walls are so open and flat that not even snowflakes can rest on them.If it weren't for the twists and turns on the top, an upward ladder was dug out, Gretel would not have the courage to continue climbing:
Unarmed rock climbing or something is too much beyond his ability!
Even with the convenience provided by the stairs, looking up at the giant rock on the snow slope, there is still an instinctive sense of trembling, as if the giant rock will fall down anytime and anywhere.Gretel only glanced at it, then lowered his head again:
After walking this zigzag road, before reaching the bottom of the rock, he didn't have the need or the ability to pay attention to whether the road above his head was good or not.Even if you have to use both hands and feet, even if you want to climb rocks, this is a matter of later, so let's take the road ahead:

Lift the left leg and take a step forward, put the two sticks on the ground, push the right leg on the ground, and shift the center of gravity;

Bend forward and throw your right leg forward;
The trekking pole in the left hand and the oak stick in the right hand plunge into the ice and snow to confirm that the foundation below is safe and reliable;

Push the left leg to the ground again, and shift the center of gravity again...

One rotation, another rotation, the action has almost become a mechanical process.Not only that, even the mana shield outside the body, spiritual power and magic power are also intertwined and gradually solidified.I don't know how long I have been climbing, but suddenly, the white snow in front of my eyes suddenly turned into gray and black rocks intertwined.

Dragon's Nest Rock, here we come!
Gretel stood under the huge rock and looked up.The sky above the head is clear and highly saturated pure blue, which almost makes people feel dizzy.The strong sunlight shone on the rock wall and reflected into his eyes. Even with the protection of sunglasses, he needed to squint from time to time.There is a silver strip on the top of the cliff, probably because the snow has accumulated on the top of the giant rock, which will not melt all year round.

Gretel adjusted his clothes, put the trekking poles back into the space bag, and took off the snow jacket.Pulling through the water bladder straw, I managed to take a few more sips of the supplement mixed with glucose and salt.He reached out and touched the [Endless Ink Pen] in his chest pocket to ensure that he could release the Feather Falling Technique at any time, adjust his breathing, and take a step——

The stairs that can only be climbed by one person are narrow and steep, hanging alone on the rock wall.The mountain wind howled, even covering Bernard's breathing.Between heaven and earth, it seems that he is the only one continuing this lonely climb.

With his face against the stone wall, he used both his hands and feet, struggling to climb the steps one by one.The heavy pressure covered the whole body, and unconsciously, the spiritual power and the magic power had been condensed into one, and it became more and more solidified by Longwei's forging.

Breathing, heartbeat, every muscle, every drop of rushing blood, and all visible and invisible forces in the whole body were twisted into a rope under heavy pressure.The oak staff hanging under the right wrist is dimly lit, and it grows its own roots, desperately asking for strength from the surrounding nature:

help me!
help me!
We are one!Air, water, earth, sunlight, everything, help me!
"What a nice little guy." Ofelia smiled.She tilted her head and asked her niece softly:
"You said before that he is the priest of the God of Nature?"

"He said so himself." Cerilla stared at the light curtain without blinking.Several times, when Gretel slipped on her feet and clung to the steps to stop her body, she even held her breath:

"I think he is like that too. He doesn't try to eat or wear clothes, and he only cares about healing people. Is that what a priest of the God of Nature would do?"

"...Oh." Ophelia smiled lightly.As an adult dragon, she has received more dragon inheritance, and she knows more things:

"God's priest? Hehe. This child's belief is clearly in nature - you see, he has begun to draw strength from nature, although he still needs to use an oak stick as a medium, but how smooth - resonating with nature to this point, ordinary Long Wei, I can no longer hold him down..."

In a broad sense, the dragon is also a part of nature, and Longwei is also a part of nature.When you face a powerful beast, when you stand on a high mountain overlooking a cliff, when your throat is stopped by a sharp sword, you will naturally become stiff with fear.The root of Longwei is the fear in this magnification.

However, Gretel has now entered a state similar to meditation, his mind is clear, and his spiritual power resonates harmoniously with nature.Relying on the aura left by Yinlong around the residence, the forcefully diffused Longwei has no effect on him.

"Then... what should we do then? Auntie, this section of the road is so difficult to climb, don't increase your coercion, wait for him to come up?"

"Of course. Behind him, there's a little guy—"

Thanks to Bernard, the silver dragon Ophelia did not increase her coercion, allowing Gretel to climb onto the platform at the entrance of the dragon's nest smoothly.As soon as he got on the platform, he fell face down on the ground, dripping with sweat all over his body:

too tired!
too tired!
Let alone standing, sitting, or kneeling, I couldn’t lift a finger at all. It felt like the emergency rescue in my previous life. Three or four stations were opened in a row in one night. ...Give a surgical gown to the floor, and you can fall asleep on the spot...

Scuffling behind him, the sound of footsteps rubbing against leather armor, boot soles, and the rock wall grew louder and louder step by step.It was Bernard who also climbed up... Thanks to him, he insisted on climbing behind me to prevent me from falling.I don't know how his pressure training is doing, has he succeeded in advancing?
Gretel tried to roll aside to make room for him.Looking back sideways, a big rough hand quickly climbed up to the ground of the platform, followed by messy hair, and then, Bernard's big flushed face.Shoulders, chest, the entire upper body, one leg stepped on the platform, and then, the eyes were fixed——

"Gret!!!"

The savage roared.He untied the bone stick from his shoulder, swung it vigorously, and rushed into the hole with a bang.

Gretel:? ? ?

What do you mean?
I am here!what do you see bernardDon't rush around!Who seduced you?That guy must be up to no good!return!return!

He yelled twice, but the savage turned a deaf ear and didn't look back.Gretel gritted his teeth, knelt up while supporting the oak stick, and walked in with difficulty——

Walk across the platform and into the cave.At the first step from light to darkness, the pressure suddenly increased, like swimming upstream in a turbulent river.It takes all your strength to pump your chest and lungs, let yourself take a breath, and your heart beats even more frantically:
nothing!
It's just Long Wei!

Yinlong won't hurt me, just walk in front of her with Longwei, no problem!

Come on!

Gretel muttered silently, leaning on the oak stick, and moved forward silently.With every step, sweat poured down from his forehead, and wet footprints dripped all the way.It gets darker and darker as it goes, and brighter and brighter as it goes, a huge silver dragon lying prone in the distance, looking up at him——

The pressure in front of him suddenly eased.Before Gretel had time to catch his breath, he felt something that had been compressed to the extreme expand suddenly.
