The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, and after nearly half a day of climbing, they finally crossed the sea of clouds and neared the summit of Tian Gang Mountain. Yan Shi gasped slightly as he looked toward the peak, "It won't take another hour and we should be there. Yun Er, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhuo Yun smiled feebly and said, "The altitude here is too high, I'm not quite used to it. I'll be fine in a while." Being an Elf Mage, her physical constitution was not very strong; naturally, she experienced altitude sickness at this spot more than five thousand meters above sea level.
Yan Shi lovingly embraced Zhuo Yun and said, "The altitude will be even higher at the peak, Yun Er, you can't go on like this. Let me carry you later; even your wings seem too tired to lift."
Zhuo Yun snuggled into Yan Shi's arms and nodded gently. Difficulty in breathing combined with palpitations and ringing in her ears made her indescribably upset.
