Seven hundred and eighty-two Great Avalanches
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion on the top of the mountain in front of him, and the entire mountain top trembled. It was as if the mountain was angry, and it seemed that the gods had knocked down a large piece of ice wall with a sledgehammer, and the sound was so majestic that it was terrifying. The voice came from their heads, and everyone subconsciously looked up at the top of their heads. When the picture came into view, everyone couldn't help but straighten their bodies in an instant, only to see countless white snowballs of different sizes rumbling down, as if the whole sky had fallen.
"Avalanche avalanche" Li Huan shouted, "Everyone hold on to the rope and tighten the people around them"
When the cohesive force inside the snow on the hillside cannot resist the gravitational pull it is subjected to, it slides downward, causing a large amount of snow to collapse, a natural phenomenon called avalanche. In some places, it is called "snow landslide", "snow quicksand" or "pushing mountain snow". At the same time, it can also cause terrible natural phenomena such as landslides, landslides and mudslides. As a result, avalanches are classified as a serious natural disaster in snow-covered mountainous areas.
The avalanche first begins in the upper part of the slope covered with snow. First, a crack appeared, and then a huge body of snow began to slide. As the snow slides downward, it quickly gains speed and rushes down the mountain. Avalanche is a kind of surface ice and snow migration process that all snow-capped mountains will have, they keep collapsing from the mountain slope to the bottom of the mountain by gravity, the speed of the collapse can reach 2030 meters per second, and with the continuous decline of the snow body, the speed will also rise by leaps and bounds, the wind speed of general level 12 is 3335s, and the avalanche will reach 97s, the speed is extremely large.
Avalanches are characterized by suddenness, high speed of movement, and great destructive power. It can destroy vast swathes of forest, bury houses, transport lines, communications and vehicles, and even block rivers and cause temporary floods, while causing horrific natural phenomena such as landslides, landslides and mudslides. As a result, avalanches are classified as a serious natural disaster in snow-capped mountainous areas.
However, in addition to hillside morphology, avalanches are largely dependent on human activity.
Experts estimate that 90 percent of avalanches are caused by victims or their teammates, and this type of avalanche is known as a "man-made recreational avalanche". Skiing, hiking, or other winter sports enthusiasts often inadvertently become the trigger for avalanches. And if a person is buried in a snowdrift and cannot be rescued for half an hour, there is little hope of survival. We often see reports of someone who was skiing in an avalanche and died. But at that time, it is not known whether the avalanche actively injured people or was forced to occur under the influence of human movement.
At least Li Huan felt that they were innocent, and now he had no way to care if the aura would be detected except to put up the shield of spiritual power, and then burst out the aura with all his strength to dig himself deep into the snow, Li Huan could even guess that the avalanche would first be monitored by satellites, and then the aura satellites would scan abnormal places around the world, and then the whereabouts of Li Huan and his party would be discovered. There is no way to think about this, in the face of natural disasters, Li Huan had to burst out with all his strength. In addition to rooting himself deep in the ground, he also has to protect others from being swept away by avalanches.
Of course, when Li Huan was using his aura with all his might, he still had a trace of luck. He had seen the reconnaissance map of the aura satellite, and it would cause a big reaction if he had to attract the aura around him, as if he used his aura to maintain a shield like this, if he was lucky, he would not be monitored. If you carefully control the amount of Reiki, you should be able to avoid the detection of Reiki satellites
Of course, Li Huan just thought about it, and could only pray that the aura satellite would not be able to find it, and as for only using a little aura for such a thing, it was impossible. This is the power of nature, and you can't take it lightly, otherwise you will be looking for your own death. But he still couldn't figure out how the muffled sound just now came from and how the avalanche on the snow mountain happened, but this issue was not so important at the moment, because Li Huan needed to deal with the avalanche with all his might.
The avalanche is the power of nature, and in the face of the power of nature, even if Li Huan is a high cultivator, he does not dare to treat it idly. He firmly fixed himself in the snow, stretched out his mental shield, and instructed everyone to hold on to the ropes, and then there were a few loud rumbles overhead, and the first wave of snow mist was already rushing towards everyone with violent force.
The avalanche is also staged, and when the avalanche starts, it starts with the floppy snowflakes that play in front of them, sweeping everything with a fierce attack like a shock wave. Although this cloud of snow and fog was only a shock wave, it made it impossible for all the victims to move easily. Its function is to pin all the victims to the ground. Then, perhaps less than half a second later, the real avalanche came.
"Survive this wave, and it's over. Everyone pull the rope and try to lie on the ground as much as possible," Li Huan shouted.
Li Huan was afraid that everyone would be taken away by the avalanche, so he turned around and shouted, but he was distracted by this, and a snow ball in front of his chest rolled down and hit him straight in the chest. This is not a battle between cultivators, the avalanche can carry hundreds of thousands of tons of snow powder at the very least, Li Huan was directly smashed to the ground by this snow block, and his body lost his balance and fell straight backwards. This is still Li Huan's underestimation of the power of the avalanche. This thing is simply not something that human beings can compete with. Not to mention that he is a small eighth-layer qi refining layer, Li Huan feels that unless it is a character like Tlaltai Kutli, even if it is the most powerful flying yaksha that Li Huan has encountered before, if he doesn't fly if he has the ability, he will definitely have to be buried under the avalanche.
The power of nature is not something that can be countered by human beings at all, and even if it is Trartelli, at most it can only protect itself. Unless it is the kind of immortal who can move mountains and reclaim the sea in the previous legends, there is probably no one who is not afraid of nature. But even if there is that kind of person, when the Huanghuang Heavenly Thunder falls in the sky, if he dares to resist, he will eventually turn into a handful of flying ashes.
Because he was the leader of the platoon, and he still had ropes strung around him, and when he fell down the slope at an angle of almost 75 degrees, he instantly brought down a string of people, brought up a string of screams, and fell down the avalanche towards the back.
But fortunately, Li Huan stabilized at the critical moment.
Two aura roots were born under his feet, and although Lu Huan was pulled far away by the power of the avalanche, these two aura roots firmly fixed it to the ground. These two spiritual energy heels were like ropes that were cut endlessly, one end was connected to the depths of the ground, and the other end was connected to Li Huan's feet. Li Huan was carried in mid-air by an avalanche, and with these two spiritual energy roots, he pulled a string of people in the air. It was also thanks to Li Huan's aura that he had enough, so he relied on these two auras to fix everyone in the impact of the avalanche, and for a while, he was stalemate with the power of the avalanche.
However, there is a saying that blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular, which is very reasonable. Because bad things are never separated one by one, they are always coming one after another, for example, Li Huan finally fixed his body. His aura tugged at herself and a few others, and just as she was able to match the power of the avalanche, there was a louder roar overhead.
"Li Huan, I heard a louder voice" Shangguan Qing shouted loudly behind Li Huan, "It seems that there is a bigger avalanche coming"
Of course, there is a bigger avalanche coming, and an avalanche is never one-sided. An avalanche in one area can lead to an even larger avalanche. The avalanche doesn't stop until all the snow in the area has fallen. In the case of an avalanche that lasts twenty seconds, the last ten seconds are the hardest. Because avalanches will also link, they can bring more catastrophic super avalanches.
Li Huan also heard it, the spiritual energy roots born under his feet could only pull each other with the avalanche in front of him, if there was a larger avalanche behind, then Li Huan felt that he would definitely be unlucky. The avalanche came too fast. The current situation didn't allow Li Huan to think too much, he took out the half of the oyland copper broadsword that was interrupted by the shooting of the super-nuclear element weapon from the virtual space, connected it to the static rope dedicated to mountaineering, and threw out his right hand suddenly, and the huge power and attached aura made the oylandite copper broadsword go up against the avalanche, instantly piercing through a raised giant ice in front of him. Before he was ready, the avalanche with greater power had already come, but fortunately, this raised giant ice gave Li Huan a little respite, allowing his body to land on the ground. Li Huan didn't dare to hold it up this time, and directly landed on the ground with both hands and feet
, the four spiritual energy roots were fiercely rooted in the glacier under the snow.
Then, with a hard blow, he thrust the orichal copper broadsword liberated from the giant ice into the ground without dying.
The avalanche finally reached its peak, and with a thunderous thunderbolt, the power of the sky avalanche and a thunderstorm smashed towards everyone. At that marriage inspection, Li Huan's arm muscles tensed instantly, and if someone could see through at this time, they would find that his arm muscles were bruised and bruised, and his entire arm was thickened by one-third. The four aura roots made several long scratches in the snow, and he used his body as a floodgate to force everyone down.
The small avalanche at the beginning drove the blocky binxue that had accumulated in the mountain for many years, and pieces of ice and snow fell on the ground, rolling more and more broken, but they rolled down from the ground like white rolling stones. The snow mist drifted down like rain, drowning the whole world in an instant. There was no figure in the wind and snow, only Li Huan was heard screaming. Of course, the avalanche came and went quickly, and after tens of seconds, when the snow and fog cleared, everything was calm.
Don't think that this is over, the real danger of the avalanche is not only its extreme impact and destructive power, but also the suffocation and burial of the hundreds of thousands of millions of tons of snow that falls. Even if you fix your body in an avalanche, you will be buried deep in the snow. The snow that falls from the avalanche is powder snow, which means that you have no way to get up from the burial of the avalanche, climb up from the bottom, dig up the snow around you, and more snow will immediately fill your body, and eventually you will either suffocate or hypothermia.
But fortunately, as for Li Huan and them, as long as they have withstood the most dangerous avalanche impact, it is not a big problem to come out of the snow. The force of this avalanche was extremely great, burying Li Huan and several of them deep under the snow below three meters. Li Huan climbed up by himself first, and then dragged up along the static rope that was not broken
Suddenly, several people who were tied to Li Huan were dragged from the snow one after another as if they were being dragged sweet potatoes.
Shangguan Qing was the closest to Li Huan and suffered the least impact, and Shangguan Qing, as a member of the special air service brigade, had been exposed to various military trainings and did a good job in emergency avoidance. After Li Huan pulled her out, he checked her body comprehensively and found that she was only a little frightened, so she could recover quickly after a while.
In better condition than Shangguan Qing are Luo Weisha and Agatta. These two Russian girls should have been exposed to more in-depth and specific snow training than Shangguan Qing. When Li Huan pulled them out, the two girls weren't even too frightened, but they were a little short of breath, which was already a very good reaction.
The worst are Leon and Rodman.
Especially Rodman, Rodman is the one after the break, in fact, the first and last ones are the most affected by the avalanche. Rodman was pulled out a little foggy, and his black face was covered in powder. Li Huan injected a stream of aura into his body, then patted his face and shouted, "Are you hurt?"
Rodman's face was shocked, his face flushed, and his eyes were distant.
"Look at me, look at me" He only heard Li Huan's anxious shouts ringing in his ears, and only after seeing that the avalanche around him had passed, he gradually regained his focus. His eyes finally met Li Huan's anxious eyes, and gradually calmed down, "I'm fine, I'm okay, I'm okay, it's too scary, boss, I almost thought I was dead just now." I thought I had seen everything in the world for so many years, and I really didn't expect an avalanche to be so terrible. ”
"Hehe, it's good to know that it's amazing" Li Huan snorted, and then looked at Li Ang, "What about you, are you okay?"
"Boss, I'm okay" Leon is in a much better state than Rodman overall. First of all, one Leon has racial advantages. Caucasians are not like black Africans, who are relatively more resistant to cold. And Leon was not the last to receive the impact, not as strong as the impact that Rodman received, so on the whole, Leon was in a good state.
"I'm scared to death, how could there be a sudden avalanche" A few minutes later, after Shangguan Qing's breathing was even, the first sentence was scolding, "What our wilderness survival teacher taught is all." He said that the avalanche was preceded by a precursor. How did I not see any premonition and it was an avalanche for no reason, and I must tear his mouth when I go back. ”
Listening to Shangguan Qing complaining at the beginning, others also complained. Especially the two Russian girls, unlike Shangguan Qing, because they live in Russia, they have been exposed to formal snow survival and snow avoidance training. However, their teacher, like Shangguan Qing, would teach them to judge the precursors of a blood collapse. Let's think about it, this avalanche has no warning at all, just like that, without warning, hundreds of millions of tons of snow will collapse, if it weren't for Li Huan's great ability, everyone would have been buried in this snowfield. Not to mention finding any remains, even walking down this snow-capped mountain alive is a problem. A few girls still have the strength to scold, like Leon and Rodman, and they don't even have the strength to scold.
Seeing that everyone still had the strength to scold, Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's okay." ”
But then, Li Huan calmly said to everyone: "After everyone complained just now, I also listened. You have a point, there are signs before an avalanche comes. But the avalanche we just encountered was a sign of it, but you may not have noticed it. Before the avalanche, there was a muffled sound beneath the glacier we had walked through. I guess the massive avalanche occurred because the underlying glacier broke off, causing the earth's crust to shake and then change the structure of the entire snow-capped mountain. ”
"Boss, this is impossible" Luo Weisha interrupted Li Huan's words, "I know that the ice below the Ural Mountains was frozen more than a billion years ago, and there are countless weights pressing on this ice, and it is impossible for it to break from below." Glaciers do break, but not at any point here. ”
"That's what I'm worried about. Li Huan pondered for a moment, "I think it's okay, let's continue on the road." With the blessing of this avalanche, our next road is much better. After the avalanche, all the snow caves and glacial crevasses in the ground were revealed, and we just had to walk around. Look at the fact that there are about 400 meters to reach the summit above, and we will work hard to reach the summit today. ”
"Good"
Everyone replied in unison that leaving this place was of course the best choice. Although the avalanche is over and there is no more danger of death, no one wants to stay in this place because there is no telling what will happen next. Crossing this mountain early is the best option. As long as you climb over the peak, there is a gentle slope on the opposite side of the peak, and at that time you don't have to worry about anything The dog sledding that Rovisa and Agata contacted is waiting for everyone there.
After saying that, everyone picked up their equipment and began to climb towards the peak. Not to mention, an avalanche exposed all the rocks below the mountain, and sure enough, the distance was much easier. If you have to go deep and shallow in normal times, you should also pay attention to the snow caves and glacier crevasses under your feet. An avalanche had just shaken all the powder snow away, which meant that nature's traps had been destroyed by its own anger, and everyone walked much faster on the rocks.
"Li Huan, why did you say half of what you said just now" Shangguan Qing pulled the rope on Li Huan's waist and asked, "What did you just say?"
Li Huan shook his head and did not speak. He didn't come up with his guess. As a person possessed by super AI, Li Huan certainly knows these ordinary geographical common sense. Glaciers, especially those formed over billions of years, cannot be said to be much stronger than steel, but they are certainly not far behind. It is physically impossible for such a glacier to break. Even if the glacier is exposed to sunlight and floats on the surface of the sea, it will take a long, long time to dissolve, and it is unlikely to break down. The glaciers that break are Cenozoic glaciers, that is, the most recent snow flakes have been squeezed into ice and have not yet been squeezed out
Ministry of air glaciers. Because the glacier breaks because there are bubbles inside the ice body, these bubbles expand slightly when exposed to sunlight. It doesn't matter if one bubble expands, when tens of millions of bubbles expand together, the glacier will burst.
Glaciers with bubbles, only those that are new. On the other hand, if you dig up the ice of those glaciers that have been formed over billions of years, you will find that there are no bubbles inside, which means that there is no possibility of breaking from the inside. Such is the case with the glaciers under the Urals. Elsewhere there has been an ice age, and the climate will change dramatically. But Siberia has been in the arctic zone since about the birth of the earth. Beneath those billion-year-old glaciers, there are even things that no one knows.
This kind of glacial fracture requires very high internal pressure.
But the glacier under the Ural Mountains is a standard old glacier, with a pure interior, and all the bubbles have been squeezed out over time. Then the glacier is covered with hundreds of millions of tons of snow, and there is no possibility of breaking it at all. In other words, it is almost impossible for such an ancient glacier to break naturally underground. If there is a reason to give it to fracture, it is the violent movement of the earth's crust, such as a volcanic eruption.
Obviously, there are no volcanoes here.
Then there's a second person left, or something that's messing around.
The reason why Li Huan didn't say his judgment. It's because he thinks that if he can make trouble under the glacier, then this person, or that thing, is very scary, there is no need to actively look for it, and the most important thing now is to get out of here quickly. After all, the world's most incredible and mysterious death has taken place here, and the farther away from here, the better. Because Li Huan subconsciously felt that if this guy who broke the glacier came out, everyone would encounter a lot of trouble.
Of course, Li Huan is not brutal.
If he hadn't been prepared at all, he would have told everyone to retreat right now, and it would have been discovered anyway, so he might as well go back to the nearest town and call a helicopter to fly over. The reason why Li Huan still dared to do this was because he was fully sure, and he still had the biggest trump card in his hand. Don't forget, this trip is to find the bones of Tlaltai Coutli. The search for the remains of this body is a matter of whether Tlaltai Coutli's body can be intact. You must know that this terrifying ancient cultivator can do everything. Li Huan fully believed that she could clear all obstacles on the road for the sake of her bones.
This is Li Huan's greatest confidence.
That's right, Tlaltai Cootli is not on his side right now. But Li Huan knew very well that this ancient cultivator had no substance. All of her entities are made up of psychic powers. In other words, where his spiritual power can expand, she can appear in this place immediately. Moreover, with the level of this ancient cultivator, even if her spiritual power spreads here, as long as she doesn't want people to find out, then probably no one in this world will find out about her.
This is where Li Huan's confidence lies. Although he couldn't feel that Traaltai Coutli's spiritual power was following, Li Huan was sure that as long as there was any hurdle on the road, Traal Tai Kutli would definitely appear. After all, the bones were her last thoughts.
There is a good saying that the so-called extreme sports are to challenge the limits of human beings. For example, Li Huan and a few people, if they don't climb the mountain, they will never feel the thin air on the polar land, what is the feeling of overcoming their own gravity and equipment and the extremely cold weather and the wind speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour to climb up Simply put, if it wasn't for the avalanche just now that broke up the snow, Li Huan felt that they would not be able to climb this mountain at all. Even if Li Huan can get on it himself, no one else can get up.
Even if Li Huan dragged it, he couldn't get up, the reason was very simple, they had consumed their aura in the avalanche just now, and now they had nothing left except for a little better physique than ordinary people. Without the blessing of aura, the oxygen content in their bodies decreases rapidly, and at this altitude, they have a little more strength than ordinary people.
Rodman and Li Ang began to gasp for air, Luo Weisha and Agata began to turn pale, only Shangguan Qing's state was slightly better, because she was a cultivator who Li Huan guided to enter the Qi refining period, so relatively speaking, she was in the best state But on the whole, after the aura of several people was consumed in the avalanche just now, the state became very poor, because every step consumed a lot of energy.
For example, running in the flat land for an hour is more than 500 calories, they are mountaineering in high-altitude polar environments without equipment mountaineering, daily calorie consumption is more than 15,000 calories, climbing for a few hours in high-altitude areas, it is equivalent to ordinary people running for 30 hours, in areas of more than 6,500 meters, sleep with oxygen masks. But Li Huan, they don't even wear oxygen now.
This altitude is a figure that transcends the physiological limit for humans, whether you are a cultivator or not.
Because in general, to climb a mountain at this height, it is generally necessary to do weight training in the high ground in advance, and in order to adapt to the alpine environment, the number of red blood cells per person is increased by 50 to absorb oxygen as much as possible. Although the human body can make such a big adjustment to human stupidity, most of the time, it still feels uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Li Huan can bear it, he is the best one in the team from beginning to end, from the glacier to the top, most of them are ice and rock mixed areas, the slope of this road is not too large, and it is relatively safe. Still, there is a big hurdle waiting to get from here to the summit. One is a cross-cut road covered with ice and snow, narrow, like the "carp back" of Huashan, and below is an abyss, and if you are not careful, you will have a terrible slip and fall, which is the famous death ridge.
The terrain here is extremely strange.
The whole ridge is just such a road, and after passing this ridge, you will reach the peak, and when you reach the peak, you will suddenly open up. The problem is that this ridge is too dangerous. Its danger lies not only in the terrain, but also in the abyss below, but the problem is that the altitude here is too high, and there will be extremely dangerous "mountain winds" at any time and place.
The so-called mountain wind is when the wind blows from the bottom of the mountain, along the ridge upward, the slope of the ridge continues to accelerate the wind pressure, and finally when it reaches a height, a huge wind pressure will be formed, and the wind speed of this wind pressure is even more terrifying than the strongest hurricane. Once encountered, an adult can be lifted 100 meters away in an instant. That's how the so-called Death Ridge came about, and the Death Ridge Death Ridge is because this mountain wind has sent away too many lives.
If you look closely, there are still iron nails left by predecessors on the ridge. These nails were probably hung by previous climbers, who used safety ropes to connect them to protect themselves when crossing the Death Ridge. Li Huan watched for a long time, and the first one went over carefully, and after connecting the rope, he let the people behind him slowly touch them with hooks one by one. At this time, Li Huan's heart was clenched, and he was always thinking about the murderer who caused the glacier to break. On this extremely dangerous ridge, if the murderer suddenly appeared and was buried, Li Huan felt that everyone was more than lucky. But seeing that there was no way to stop taking the last step, I could only pray that the guy would not come out and make trouble.
But it was such a coincidence, Li Huan and the others crossed the Ural Mountains, encountered a snowstorm, and experienced an ice avalanche, everyone thought they were going to escape. Things on this road are too bad, the most troublesome thing is that during the avalanche, Li Huan used a lot of aura, why did everyone know that they couldn't hide their whereabouts for such a long way, and flew directly from the Philippines to Russia, isn't it easy
But it's also a bizarre experience, after all, there aren't many people who can escape from a large avalanche. But fortunately, with Li Huan here, everyone escaped safely. When climbing over the ridge of death, Li Huan watched a person staggering from one end to the other, always worrying about what would happen.
He forgot that there is a law in this world called Murphy's Law.
