Chapter 26 Big Snow Mountain
Chapter 26 Snow Mountain
On this night, the thin man who no longer dared to sleep and the other two soldiers took the initiative to take on the task of sentry, and the rest of the people picked up some hay and leaves again and went to sleep.
The dawn sun is in the east, and the snowy mountains are in the north. The soldiers standing under the snowy mountain looked at the red sun with incomparable nostalgia, and finally walked towards the vast peak of wind and snow under Su Yong's wave.
The thin man was tired all night, but he got a whole sika deer prey that he couldn't eat. He was really happy, but he hummed back.
Looking up to the sky from afar, I don't know how high the snowy mountain is. But when you really get to the bottom of the snowy mountains, you know that the appearance from a distance is far less shocking than here.
Because under the foot of the mountain is already a bitter cold wind, and the fine snow is flying, it is difficult to open your eyes at all. If you barely squint, you can only see hundreds of meters at most, and the eyes are everywhere, gray clouds and waves are flying everywhere, but it floods the white of the snowy mountains.
Chu Nantian squinted and said in a heavy tone: "With my ability, I can only see halfway up the mountain. It can be seen that the snowy mountain environment is really too bad."
Su Yong looked up and looked a little depressed: "Today's weather seems to be much worse than yesterday. The wind and snow is getting heavier and heavier."
At this moment, they immediately ordered the soldiers to be careful and not to be too scattered, keeping a distance of one meter, so as to give support to their companions at any time.
And when the fool arrived here, his face seemed to be serious and no longer hummed. He tightened his shirt, just walked in front of him in silence, and stopped to look around from time to time.
Before halfway up the mountain, the carved cold has frozen everyone's face. According to common sense, the snow here can no longer reach the knees, but these soldiers are good at some skills. Naturally, they use light work to walk. On the one hand, they warm up, and on the other hand, it will be safer. After all, every step here is extremely difficult.
And the fool guide seems to be more energetic here. Although he doesn't know kung fu, with the natural cleverness of the hunter's family, he keeps turning around a pile of snowflake rocks and walking a road that can't be called a road on the ground at all. If it weren't for Su Yong and Chu Nantian's profound skills, he would have been almost dumped by him. This has turned into a blue-white cold wind.
"Everyone, follow closely, don't lose it, and don't talk loudly." Su Yong whispered to the people behind him. This is already the middle of the snowy mountains. I don't know how many years of glacier snow blocks have buried the mountain's weight. A careless sound wave may stimulate and break the ice floes under or nearby, causing an avalanche. There is only one way to die.
The eyes are full of blue and white slopes, and there is also a blue and white wind around the roar. The world has become very pure here, but it is also more horrible. Everyone walked with deep and shallow feet, but they didn't know whether they were walking on the huge rock of the mountain, or in a previous stream or a hollow ravine. They only heard the uncomfortable creaky footsteps, which was heart-wrenching.
And the guide, the stupid guide, finally stopped in front of a hill-like snowy slope, and his pale face showed a trace of joy.
Just when Chu Nantian and Su Yong were a little confused, the fool quietly made a forbidden gesture behind him.
The two approached in a hurry, quietly poked their heads out from behind the hillside, and looked in the direction of the fool's fingers. They couldn't help crying and laughing.
It turned out that... I really ran into a snow fox.
A snow-white animal that is not half the size of last night's gray wolf leaned against a snow block, revealing only half of its body and a big tail. If it hadn't been for the fact that the snow had turned blue and white because it was too cold here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found this snow-white fox.
Chu Nantian opened his bow and arrow, but his hands trembled a little. According to the agreement with Gu Mo, once you find Xuehu, you should complete the task. Although this fool has some mental problems, he heard Gu Mo say this. But at present, it is still on the mountainside, and there is still more than half of the way to go. Without this fool leading the way, it is impossible to go up at all.
At this moment of hesitation, Su Yong seemed to "not care" and touched his shoulder. He didn't let out a sound yet, and the bow in his hand had already made a buzzing and crisp sound.
An arrow is like the wind, and the arrow actually rubbed the fox's body and fell into the snow. The sound of the wind around the snow fox had already risen. His small body jumped on the snow and jumped straight to the top of the peak, leaving only a shallow mark in a short time.
The fool turned around in astonishment and looked at Chu Nantian with some doubt. This divine archer never misses along the way, and he also admires him very much, but at this moment...
Chu Nantian raised his hands with some embarrassment and pretended to move. Regardless of whether he could understand or not, he apologized and said, "My hands are frozen and numb. I'm sorry."
Su Yong also sighed with deep regret and patted him on the shoulder. Then he took a machete from the soldier behind him and put it in the fool's hand. He waved to the translator and asked him to speak, "It's our fault that the snow fox didn't hit it. This machete is for you. I hope you can continue to help."
The fool was overjoyed to see the machete. He hurriedly grabbed it, stroked it as if he had got some treasure, and then looked up and nodded hard.
This machete may be more valuable to him than the snow fox. Su Yong sighed secretly, and he felt a little guilty about this simple fool in his heart. This snow fox is also a very difficult thing to encounter, but it was deliberately let go by itself.
"As long as you cross the peak and walk to the other side, next time you meet the snow fox, just give it to him." Su Yong quietly said something to Chu Nantian, and the latter nodded and responded with a smile.
Although it is only halfway up the mountain, the gloomy clouds have floated above everyone's heads. As long as you stretch out your hand, you can turn over the clouds and rain. Unfortunately, the environment here is so bad that everyone has no idea for a long time.
Several soldiers walking behind were already crowded together because of the thin air in the mountain reaction, and the speed of travel was much slower.
In view of the situation of the team, Su Yong had to ask the translator to tell the fool to slow down.
But in fact, he is more anxious than anyone else. This vast snowy mountain is full of glaciers and snowy mountains, and there is no way to go at all. If it hadn't been for the fools who came many times and knew how to distinguish which obstacles could be bypassed, I'm afraid they couldn't go down for a few days and nights.
But looking to the east at this moment, the sun is about to rise to the center, and it will be noon soon, but everyone has only walked a short distance.
Although this is a half-mountain, Su Yong knows that the more you walk a hundred miles, the more difficult it is to walk. I'm afraid it will take several times more time to cross this snowy mountain.
Can you cross the snowy peak at midnight? Do you still have the strength to climb the rope that fell down in the last half day? He really doesn't have much expectations.
Next to a snowy rock that could slightly withstand the cold wind, Su Yong asked the fool to stop and began to tell everyone to take out something to supplement it.
Everyone's lunch, of course, is the leftover barbecue last night. However, although these barbecues are tightly wrapped in a package, they have turned into popsicles at this moment. Not to mention the taste, they are like biting stones. No, it's biting ice. Few people bite. My lips are still trembling.
If it hadn't been for the activities for half a day, I'm afraid everyone would have become a bigger popsicle.
Looking at the people grinning and grinning things with no regrets on their faces, Su Yong was moved and whispered Zhao Gu: "All these brothers who followed us to climb the snowy mountain, you have to help me remember everything. If you can break through Imore, they are the first."
