    [It¡¯s a new day, Wally will continue to ask for all kinds of support and keep his position on the new book list!  ¡¿

    ¡ù¡ù

    It is a cold winter world inside and outside the giant rock, and the valley outside the city is also covered with a thick layer of white snow. Under the heavy fog, bare trees are looming, and the morning sun cannot shine through here.

    At this time, there was a long line of people walking on the mountain road, which was almost endless. Some were immersed in ascetic practices, or looking at the mountain scenery. The young faces had different expressions. They were participating in the admission assessment of Juyan Martial Arts Academy.  The quasi-martial artist is following Gai Kui, the chief examiner leading the team, to the assessment site.

    "Hello, my name is Xin Lie." Xin Lie was also walking among the crowd. He saw that the boy named Cheng Lei from yesterday was not far away, so he squeezed over and talked to him: "We met yesterday."

    Cheng Lei naturally remembered this unique peer, and was very surprised for a moment. He said repeatedly: "Hello, hello, my name is Cheng Lei." Xin Lie looked around a few times and said his plan: "The assessment process  How dangerous it is, I think we can support each other." Cheng Lei immediately nodded happily: "I think so too!" He immediately felt much more at ease, and being with this tall young man really made people feel a sense of confidence and fearlessness.

    Xin Lie looked around again, trying to recruit a few more people to join the team, but he couldn't find anyone trustworthy. People who showed integrity when signing up were either invisible or very far away. For example, Fang Ling'er's figure could only be seen faintly.  Previously, everyone's luggage and other belongings were stored in Wuyuan, so she didn't have to carry the heavy sack.

    The two of them continued to move forward with the crowd while chatting softly, telling each other about their respective situations.

    Cheng Lei is also 18 years old this year, three months younger than Xin Lie, and comes from Jiahe Town.  His family was a large local farmer, and was under the care of the inspector general who had only a small amount of money. The family of five did not have to worry about food, rice, oil, and salt, so he went to elementary school and practiced boxing and kicking to prepare for the martial arts examination. However, he admitted that his strength was average Recently  The inspector general was replaced, and Jiahe was taken over by a young warrior. Life was not so easy. His family was almost stripped of its crops, so now the whole family's expectations for him were even higher.

    ??

    After an unknown amount of time, everyone had entered the depths of the valley. Instead of dissipating, the fog became thicker. There seemed to be a steep and steep gorge cliff in front of them, and they heard Gaikui shouting: "Stop!"

    There was a wide landing platform on the edge of the cliff. Everyone walked in slowly. A group of more than a dozen examiners stood on the edge of the cliff. Gai Kui, the leader, raised the broad sword in his hand and pointed forward, his face as solemn as ever, and said:  "Did you see it? You have to cross this bridge and walk to the cliff on the other side."

    The back was blocked and could not be seen clearly. The people in front looked with wide eyes. They were used to the fog and could see clearly. They were immediately startled.

    I saw a long iron cable bridge between the mountain gorge and the snow valley, with wooden boards laid across it as the bridge deck. However, those rotten wooden boards looked like they would break if stepped on, especially when there were many cracks and gaps; and between the mountain gorges  The wind and snow are very heavy, and when the fierce mountain wind blows, the chain bridge will sway. If a person stands on the bridge, he will definitely not be able to stand firmly

    A group of huge black-brown eagles hovered over the suspension bridge, emitting sharp screams from time to time, which made people shudder. Looking under the bridge, it was really an abyss. Through the diffuse mist, you could faintly see the mountain walls full of broken limbs.  Bones, not to mention the bottom of the valley, there is no telling how many unknown people with unrealized ambitions are buried there.

    ¡ª¡ª

    "Do you know the name of this place?" Gaikui grabbed the iron chain of the suspension bridge with one hand and shook it violently a few times. His expression remained unchanged, but the whole bridge immediately began to shake from side to side, and a terrifying rattling sound could be heard.  In the valley, several rotten wooden boards fell down, causing no echo at all.

    His eagle-like eyes glanced at the stunned crowd, and he said: "This place is called the Valley of Death, and this bridge is called the Suoming Bridge, which means that many people, like you, have died here."

    Although the whole place was silent, everyone was already in an uproar. Even though they all had a certain determination, fear still grew and spread uncontrollably, swallowing up every trace of luck.  Cheng Lei also gasped, his heart beating wildly, crossing this bridge!  ?  No wonder the casualties are so high

    Who dares to say that he has no chance of death?

    Gaikui withdrew his sword and stood on the ground without changing his expression. With a click, the unsheathed sword suddenly sank a few inches into the snow. "You can withdraw from this test at any time. Those who don't want to cross the bridge, please turn your head."  Go back! Give you a quarter of an hour to think about it."

    No need to think about it!  Xin Lie didn't know whether Captain Balu and Xiu Hu had faced this challenge and chosen to move forward, but he knew that he must step onto the bridge and walk to the opposite cliff!He glanced at Cheng Lei next to him. Although the latter could not hide his concern, he nodded silently.

    Everyone looked at each other in confusion. A quarter of an hour seemed to pass by in a second, and it passed quickly, and it seemed like a month in a day. What a torture!  But in the end, not many people said they wanted to quit. Maybe this bridge is actually easy to live on?  Are you just testing their xinxing now?

    "Time's up." Gaikui was not interested in caring about their thoughts. He walked towards the crowd, grabbed a boy with each hand, and pushed him to the bridge in front; other examiners also went to help. After several times, there were more than a dozen  people.

    "You guys, go over there!"

    The dozen or so people were in a dilemma. After lingering for a while, under Gai Kui's stern urging, a medium-sized young man in Tsing Yi finally stepped onto the suspension bridge first, and then the others plucked up the courage to follow.

    Xin Lie and Cheng Lei among the crowd on the cliff looked around. Everyone's nervous eyes were focused on the chain bridge. Except for the bridge body shaking slightly, everything was fine. The pedestrian quickly reached the bridge without any danger.  In the middle section, it seems that after a while, we can successfully reach the cliff on the opposite side.

    No matter on the bridge or by the bridge, everyone is very happy. It seems to be a test of courage!  The young man in green who was walking at the front could already clearly see the statue of the warrior over there. He couldn't suppress his excitement, warrior!  The beautiful vision of returning home in fine clothes and marrying that beloved girl once again flashed before my eyes. Lilan, wait for me

    However, at this moment, there were a few clicks, clicks!  Before he could react, there was nothing at his feet

    "Ah - ah -" screams of horror rang out, and the rotten wooden planks in the middle of the suspension bridge suddenly broke piece by piece. More than a dozen young people fell into the abyss one after another. Pairs of hands grabbed upwards, and pairs of stares  The big despairing eyes finally hit the bottom of the valley, throwing up a few bloody snowflakes.

    "Help! Help -" Only a pretty girl reacted quickly and clung to the bridge rope, hanging in mid-air. She kept shouting for help, her face full of tears of fear.

    At this time, one of the giant black eagles that had been circling for a long time flew out, spread its wings and rushed towards her, opened its sharp beak, and bit her arm violently!  Then there was a scream of extreme pain, and the slender arm was torn off even to the bones and muscles. The girl immediately fell down, "Ahhh¡ª¡ª"

    The big black eagle held the arm in its mouth, flapped its wings a few times, and flew to the gap in the mountain wall, where it rested and ate

    "At this moment, everyone understood why so many broken limbs and bones ran into the mountain wall. The young faces were stunned. The wind and snow were so cold that they almost stopped breathing.

    ¡°None of the first batch of sixteen people on the bridge could cross safely, and they were all buried in this valley!  This is not a test of courage or tenacity at all, but a real danger

    ?? Most of them had worked hard all the way, with hopes and dreamsbut to die like this, it was as if they had never been there.

    "Woo" Some girls around them finally couldn't help but cry. They could no longer muster up the fighting spirit to walk on the hanging bridge. They stepped back: "I won't leave.", "Woo woo"  , I quit.", "I want to go home"

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk about your daughter¡¯s family, why aren¡¯t other men intimidated?  Countless people swallowed their saliva and had to re-evaluate themselves no matter what. Some of the men with gangster looks flinched and were beaten and scolded by their companions who were unwilling to give up.  On the other hand, the black-haired girl Fang Ling'er, although she pursed her lips tightly and was trembling with fear, confusion and other emotions, did not retreat a step.

    Seeing the dozens of people dying and the crowd making noise, Gaikui spoke slowly and forcefully without batting an eye: "Last year, 11,036 people signed up, and 6,100 people got on the bridge.  One hundred and two people, 3,712 dead and wounded; twenty new warriors."

    It turns out that only more than 6,000 people actually participated in the assessment last year, and the number of casualties was more than half!

    The merchant boy who knew arithmetic hurriedly calculated accurately, it was 60%!

    "You should know that this year's snowstorm has arrived early." Gaikui said slowly. Before he finished speaking, a strong wind blew over there, and the suspension bridge suddenly swayed even more seriously. He added: "Those called black-bellied mountain eagles  , have a violent and bloodthirsty temperament, and they hate cold the most. During the snow season, their temper is several times more ferocious than usual.¡±

    No matter how stupid you are, you will understand what he means. This year will be several times more dangerous than last year!  The casualty rate is probably higher than 60%, maybe 80%, 90%

    "Those who quit, get out; those who get on the bridge, leave; those who delay, die."

    As Gaikui pulled out the broad sword,??No one dared to make any mistakes, and those at the front did not dare to delay.  For a time, a large number of people exited, and the people walking towards the suspension bridge were also in a continuous stream. The screams kept ringing in the gorge, and the young bodies turned into broken and blurred skeletons. The people who got on the bridge  There are fewer and fewer, and more and more people are quitting.

    Even if you can¡¯t get that gold back, even if you go back to your hometown to farm and pick up cow dung, it doesn¡¯t matter. Life is the most important thing!

    Half a day later, the landing platform became less crowded. Thousands of people had already turned back. Thousands more people had climbed onto the bridge, either with their lives or with success. Looking through the wind, snow and fog, there seemed to be people on the cliff opposite, but there seemed to be none;  At this time, there were only about 2,000 people left here.

    "Xin Lie, let's go?" Cheng Lei's face looked ugly. Those screams scratched his heart, which was about to be scratched to death. He said with a bitter face: "Anyway, we decided to go to the bridge. We will rejoice early and die early."  Tuosheng!"

    However, Xin Lie held him back and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, wait a minute" It was not a wise choice to get on the bridge too early, because no one knew where those wooden boards would become empty if stepped on, or break if stepped on twice.  , it is easy to fall suddenly; but it is unwise to be too late, because the bridge will obviously become more and more damaged as people step on it. When the bridge body has more gaps and damage, it means that the difficulty increases by one point.

    After a while, I felt that the time was almost up, and I saw Fang Ling'er walking towards the suspension bridge again. He shouted "Let's go!" and ran quickly.

    Cheng Lei took a deep breath, held his breath, and followed him.
