Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2692 (Two Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Two)

"Then you can guess." Tie Wandao said.

"Chief, I can't guess that." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said: "Why can't I guess? I just asked you to guess how powerful that person is."

Li Pingrun said: "I'm sorry, clan leader, I really can't say such things."

Tie Wandao said, "You can't say anything? You can't say it, but do you know it in your heart?"

"I have no idea." Li Pingrun replied.

"You really have no idea at all?" Tie Wandao said, looking into Li Pingrun's eyes in the light from the raft.

Li Pingrun did not avoid Tie Wandao's gaze, but just said: "I really don't have any idea at all."

Tie Wandao saw that he didn't seem to be speaking against his will, so he asked, "Did you see anything when you performed the ritual just now?"

After Li Pingrun talked to Tie Wandao, Tie Wandao asked again: "What should we do now?"

Li Pingrun pointed to the cliff and said to Tie Wandao, "Chief, look over there."

Tie Wandao looked in the direction Li Pingrun pointed and saw two vertical grooves on the cliff.

"Huh?" Tie Wandao asked, "When we first got here, there were no two grooves, right?"

"Indeed not." Li Pingrun said.

"How did it appear?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is it related to your practice?"

"It appeared by itself." Li Pingrun said, "It has nothing to do with my magic." "Those two grooves seem to be just right for putting these two poles in." Tie Wandao said.

Since the width of the groove was not much different from the width of the two poles, Tie Wandao immediately thought of this.

Before this, Nie Huihou thought that the width of the two grooves was just right for the two poles, so he put them into the grooves without thinking too much. He just wanted to try it out, and the two poles really went into the grooves. Later, he wanted to take them out first, and if he needed to put them back in, he couldn't take them out.

After listening to Tie Wandao's words, Li Pingrun said, "We should do as the clan leader said."

"Can anyone do it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao originally planned to let Li Pingrun do it alone, but suddenly he thought: "What if both poles are put into the grooves? If the person whose hand touches the pole is not affected, then what kind of situation will I, who is on the raft but whose hand does not touch the pole, face? What if this is dangerous? It is better for me to do the same thing as Li Pingrun.

So Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun: "You and I will each take one and put them into the two grooves at the same time."

"Yes, clan leader." Li Pingrun replied.

Li Pingrun and Tie Wandao put the two poles into the grooves at the same time, and the two poles entered the grooves smoothly.

The two poles suddenly lengthened, "growing" a little higher up the cliff, and when they "grew" to a position that neither Li Pingrun nor Tie Wandao could see clearly, protruding stone slabs appeared between the two poles. The stone slabs were connected by the two poles that had "grown" very high, and together with the two poles, they formed a ladder.

Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "Are we going up this ladder?"

Li Pingrun nodded and said, "Yes, Patriarch."

"It's okay for the two of you to go together, right?" Tie Wandao asked. The reason why he asked this was naturally to prevent any danger from happening if the two of them didn't act in sync.
