From an ordinary boy to a legendary god

Chapter 356 A Difficult Climb

After passing the physical test, Lin Feng and his companions faced the third challenge - climbing a towering mountain. The mountain was steep and precipitous, shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a daunting feeling.

"This mountain is too high. It takes a lot of effort to climb up." A Qiang looked up at the mountain, feeling a little scared.

Wang Meng patted Aqiang on the shoulder and encouraged him, "What are you afraid of? We've overcome so many difficulties, so we can definitely climb this mountain!"

Zhao Xue smiled and nodded: "Come on, everyone! As long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "Let's go, let's start climbing."

Everyone began to climb up the mountain path. At first, the path was relatively flat, and everyone's pace was not slow. However, as the altitude increased, the path became steeper and the oxygen in the air became increasingly thin, making it difficult to breathe.

"I'm so tired..." Aqiang said breathlessly, "I feel like I can hardly lift my legs anymore."

"Hold on!" Lin Feng turned around and shouted, "We can't stop here, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."

Wang Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I won't give up. I must climb to the top of the mountain!"

With mutual encouragement, everyone continued to climb up with difficulty. At this time, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky and the cold wind howled, making the climb more difficult.

"Everyone be careful, the road is slippery!" Zhao Xue reminded.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing Lu Yun to stagger and almost fall.

"Be careful!" Li San supported Lu Yun in time, "Everyone, stay close to the mountain and pay attention to safety."

Lin Feng looked up and saw that the top of the mountain was still out of reach. He couldn't help but feel anxious. But he knew that he couldn't be impatient now and had to remain calm.

"Don't be anxious, take one step at a time and proceed steadily," said Lin Feng.

During the difficult climb, everyone's physical strength was gradually exhausted, but they all had one belief in their hearts, that is, they must reach the top of the mountain.

"Look, there's a platform ahead!" A Qiang suddenly shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked and saw a slightly spacious platform not far ahead, which gave everyone hope.

"Come on, let's go to the platform and take a rest." Lin Feng said.

Finally, everyone reached the platform and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I can finally take a break..." said Wang Meng.

Zhao Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Everyone, don't let your guard down. There may be danger here."

At this moment, a huge stone door suddenly appeared on the platform. The stone door was engraved with mysterious runes and exuded an ancient atmosphere.

"What is this?" Aqiang asked curiously.

Lin Feng walked forward and carefully observed the stone door: "This may be the passage leading to the top of the mountain, but it may not be so easy to open this door."

"Never mind, I'll give it a try!" Wang Meng stood up, walked to the stone gate, and pushed it hard, but the stone gate didn't move at all.

"It seems we can't use brute force." Zhao Xue said.

Lu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps these runes are the key to opening the stone door."

Everyone began to study the runes on the stone gate. After some effort, they finally discovered some patterns.

"I understand!" Lin Feng said, "These runes need to be arranged in a specific order to open the stone door."

Under Lin Feng's guidance, everyone worked together and finally arranged the runes correctly.

With a roar, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the top of the mountain.

"That's great!" Aqiang shouted excitedly.

As they walked into the passage, they found it filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The walls of the passage were inlaid with glowing gems, illuminating the path ahead.

"Everyone be careful, there may be a trap here." Lin Feng reminded.

Suddenly, the ground began to sink, and everyone fell into a trap. The trap was full of sharp spikes, which made people shudder.

"Ah!" someone exclaimed.

Lin Feng remained calm in the face of danger. He looked around and found some protruding stones on the wall of the trap.

"Look, there are rocks over there!" Lin Feng shouted, "We can use these rocks to climb out."

Under Lin Feng's command, everyone grabbed the rocks and climbed up with difficulty. After some effort, they finally climbed out of the trap.

"That was a close call!" A Qiang said with lingering fear.

"I'm glad everyone is okay." Lin Feng said.

The group continued to move forward and finally reached the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain stood an ancient palace, the gate of which was tightly closed.

"Is this the top of the mountain?" Wang Meng asked.

"That should be it." Lin Feng said, "This palace may be hiding some secrets."

Just as everyone was about to enter the palace, a group of mysterious people suddenly appeared and blocked their way.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly.

The leading man in black sneered, "This palace belongs to us, don't even think about entering!"

"Hmph, why can you go in but we can't?" A Qiang said unconvinced.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the man in black: "Then don't blame us for being rude!"

After saying that, the man in black waved his hand, and the people behind him attacked Lin Feng and others.

A fierce battle broke out. Lin Feng and others used their unique skills to fight the men in black in a desperate struggle.

During the battle, Lin Feng discovered that these men in black were very powerful and had good coordination.

"Everyone be careful, these people are not easy to deal with!" Lin Feng shouted.

Zhao Xue dodged the attack from the men in black and launched a counterattack: "We can't retreat. We must defeat them!"

Wang Meng wielded the axe like a ferocious beast and engaged in a fierce collision with the man in black.

Lu Yun and Li San also cast powerful spells, causing considerable trouble to the men in black.

With everyone's efforts, the man in black gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the men in black suddenly used a powerful killing move and attacked Lin Feng.

Lin Feng felt a huge threat, but he did not retreat. He gathered all his strength and unleashed his strongest attack.

"Boom!" The two powerful forces collided with each other, making a loud noise that shook the earth.

When the dust settled, Lin Feng was still standing there, while the leader of the men in black was seriously injured.

"Go!" Seeing this, the leader of the men in black fled in a panic with his men.

"We won!" Aqiang shouted excitedly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they finally defeated the enemy.

"This palace must have something important." Lin Feng said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Everyone pushed open the palace gate and walked in. The palace was filled with an ancient atmosphere, and various precious items were placed around.

"Wow, there are so many treasures here!" Aqiang's eyes lit up.

"Don't move." Zhao Xue said, "These things may be dangerous."

Suddenly, a statue in the center of the palace glowed, and within the light, the shadow of an old man appeared.

"You are finally here..." The old man's voice echoed in the palace.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked.

"I am the guardian of this palace," the old man said. "You have passed numerous trials and proven your strength and courage. The treasures within this palace will belong to you."

After saying this, the old man's shadow disappeared, and the treasure in the palace appeared before everyone.

"That's great!" everyone cheered.

In the treasure, Lin Feng found an ancient secret book, which recorded powerful skills and spells.

"This is a peerless secret book!" Lin Feng said excitedly.

Others also found treasures that suited them.

"The harvest this time is really not small!" Aqiang said with a smile.

"This is the result of everyone's hard work," said Lin Feng.

Everyone left the palace with the treasure and prepared to embark on a new journey.

"At the next stop, we will face greater challenges!" said Lin Feng.

Everyone walked towards the distance with confidence...
