“That’s good.”

Meng Chao closed his eyes and imagined the human soldier’s dying moments as described by Ice Storm. Suddenly, he recalled something important. “By the way, let me get this straight. You said that this soldier was swept off the mountain by the strong wind and didn’t jump down on his own, right?”

“Of course. He wasn’t trying to commit suicide. If he could cling to the rock wall, why would he jump down voluntarily?”

Ice Storm curiously asked, “Is there any difference between being swept away, blown down, and jumping down voluntarily?”

“There would be a difference in speed.”

Meng Chao’s eyes were bright as he said, “If he was swept away and blown down by the strong wind, he would have fallen at a slower speed because he didn’t take the initiative to exert his strength. Plus, he even danced in the air and tried his best to cling to the branches and vines that extended from the rock wall.

“However, if I take the initiative to jump down, the moment I do that, I’d do my best to step off the rock wall. Then, I’d pull my limbs toward myself and try to reduce my surface area as I spin. I’ll shoot out like a cannonball and fall two or even three times faster than the former. It won’t be a problem.”

Ice Storm stared at him for a long time before she finally understood what he was planning to do.

“You’re saying that as long as we arrive at the spot where this human soldier fell off the cliff and take advantage of the change in space, the gap between Thousand Blades Peak and the Holy Mountain’s peak will open. In that short period of over ten breaths, if we use all our strength to jump down, we’ll fall twice or thrice as fast as that human soldier. Then, we might be able to cross to Scarlet Peak before the gap closes?”

“That’s right.”

Meng Chao grinned. “What do you think? Do you think it’s possible?”

“Of course it’s possible. But it’s possible to choose a finger that has been previously marked out of ten fingers. It’s also possible to choose a marked strand out of thick hair—the possibility of jumping from Thousand Blades Peak to Scarlet Peak is undoubtedly the latter!”

Ice Storm hurriedly said, “You have no idea how terrible the environment around Thousand Blades Peak will be when the space is violently shaken, torn, and reorganized.

“The spatial gaps that appear and close at any time are definitely not the only fatal obstacle that you will face.

“There are violent winds that can blow a thousand-pound boulder away; there is turbulence that is even scarier than an invisible vortex; there are also countless rocks that collide violently in the wind, turning into thousands of broken rocks that are enveloped by totem power. They resemble burning meteorites that even totem armor might not be able to withstand. Once you fall between the turbulence and broken rocks, your blood will likely freeze instantly, while your internal organs and even your brain will feel as though they’re soaking in magma!

“Even if by some slim chance you pass through the spatial crack and arrive at Scarlet Peak, you might not be able to land safely either.

“You should know that the speed required for you to pass through the spatial crack has to be very, very fast, so fast that you can’t control your movement at all.

“In addition, amid the violent change of space, the distance between Thousand Blades Peak and Scarlet Peak can’t be calculated with common sense.

“You’ll fall far beyond the height of a few hundred or a few thousand arms. It’s possible that you’ll fall straight into the bottomless crevice from a high mountain!

“It won’t matter if you can fly or summon your totem armor in time. You might not be able to withstand the powerful impact of falling from the sky into the abyss.

“Moreover, if you’re hit by the violent wind that contains totem power and pass out, there will only be one outcome. You’ll fall to the ground miserably and be reduced to a meat patty!”

Meng Chao knew that Ice Storm was telling the truth.

Having the ability of magnetic levitation and anti-gravity did not mean that one could fly around in the sky at any time.

Putting aside the fact that resisting gravity would consume ten times or even a hundred times more energy than walking on flat ground, the magnetic field of the planets in the Other World was a hundred times more intense and chaotic than that of the Earth.

In places where the crystal ore veins were rich and the spirit energy was particularly dense, visible spirit energy would occasionally gush out of the cracks in areas of the Earth’s crust that were relatively weak.

Once one came into contact with such high concentration of spirit energy that was rich in impurities in mid-air, at the very least, one’s blood vessels would not operate smoothly, and one’s internal organs would become congested. At the most, one’s spirit magnetic field would be chaotic, and one would suffer from spirit energy deviation.

If one fell from mid-air while unconscious, no matter how high one’s realm was, one would be smashed into a meat patty.

Therefore, in Dragon City, anyone who could survive for more than ten years after awakening their extraordinary power knew that even if they had reached Heaven Realm, they should not fly around randomly.

It was especially so in places like the Hidden Mist Domain, where the mysterious power was hidden. The higher one flew, the faster one would die.

This logic could probably be applied in real fighting arenas from the Earth era, where one should never lift one’s leg too high, let alone put any “flying moves” into play.

The Holy Mountain of Turan was obviously a “no-fly zone” that was more mysterious, chaotic, and dangerous than the Hidden Mist Domain.

It was also the reason why Meng Chao, Ice Storm, Kanus and the others, and even the Holy Light Army from three thousand years ago did not dare to fly to the top of the Holy Mountain. Even though they had the ability to float and fly, they could only stick to the ground. At most, they could glide for a short distance when the environment was stable.

In fact, even Kanus, the Jackal, who was so audacious and crazy, had never thought of jumping directly from Thousand Blades Peak to Scarlet Peak. That was how dangerous the “suicide passage” was.

Before he saw it with his own eyes, Meng Chao was not sure if his whimsical idea had a chance of succeeding.

After pondering for a while, he further asked, “If we get to Thousand Blades Peak to take a look and find out that we can’t jump over it, how much longer will it take to go back to the safer route?”

“In that case...”

Ice Storm calculated for a moment and said, “I don’t know. It might take eight to ten hours, or even an entire day.”

“Then, we’ll go to Thousand Blades Peak first!”

Meng Chao made the decision. “If we follow the usual route, we won’t be able to stop the Lion King before he runs into the ambush. Meanwhile, the Wolf King and Tiger King will definitely be able to exterminate the Lion King’s exploration team before they find and open the Holy Mountain temple before we arrive.

“As for their exploration in the Holy Mountain temple, they won’t complete it in a day.

“In other words, if we can’t reach Scarlet Peak in one day, it won’t make any difference whether we arrive in two or three days.

“So, let’s go and take a look at the raging waves that you mentioned at Thousand Blades Peak. I wonder what it looks like!”
