The mountain roads are difficult to walk, and the mountain roads covered in heavy snow are even more difficult to walk.

Although it hasn't snowed again these days, the sun is not too strong during the day, and the sky is always cloudy, so the snow in the mountains hasn't melted much.

The exploration team entered the mountain, and it was okay to be angry, because they often went out to explore, and Zhao Jing was a little choked.

Although she is a reporter and often goes out to run the news, she has never carried such a load forward.

After walking for half an hour, Zhao Jing was tired, and his face was red from the cold.

Seeing this, Sun Fei couldn't help but propose: "Horse team, shall we rest for a while?"

The horse team looked back at Zhao Jing's situation, frowned slightly, and could only say, "Then rest in place for five minutes." ”

"Okay. Sun Fei responded, and then hurriedly helped Zhao Jing unload the backpack on his body.

The others were also a little tired and panting, but they were far less exaggerated than Zhao Jing.

After resting on the spot for five minutes, I heard Captain Ma say: "Let's go, keep moving forward, today's task is to rush to Tianlai Peak before dark, according to the survey data of previous years, the source of Yuquan should be Tianlai Peak." ”

Tianlai Peak is not very far, and the straight-line distance is only a dozen kilometers.

However, they walked by walking, one mountain after another, unlike Ye Fan, who flew naturally, very slowly.

"Gaga...... Quack ......"

There was a vulture hovering in the sky, making a non-stop quacking sound.

"It's a vulture. Zhao Jing said.

"It can't be that this vulture preyed on a tiger, right?" said one of the exploration team members.

"Do you believe that, the head of the Lu family obviously didn't want us to go into the mountains, so he made up such a story to scare us. Sun Fei said disdainfully.

"Also, how big is this vulture? The wings are only one meter, and how big is the tiger? At least two or three meters, I guess I caught a tiger cub. Another explorer quipped.

"It should be!" Sun Fei said.

The group moved on, not taking the vulture seriously at all.

The vultures circled over the sky for a few moments and flew away.

At this moment, Ye Fan was still in retreat, trying to improve the true element in his body.

After four or five days of hard work, Ye Fan has already absorbed two backpacks of spiritual energy, almost a hundred cans, and it is estimated that when all three hundred cans of spiritual energy are absorbed, he will be able to break through the second layer of qi training.

Ye Fan had no distractions and continued to retreat.

Midday.

The exploration team came to a dangerous peak, and standing on the dangerous peak, they could already see the Tianlai Peak in its original place.

At this time, everyone is resting in place and replenishing food.

I heard Sun Fei point to the Tianlai Peak in the original place and introduced: "Miss Zhao, that mountain peak is our destination, Tianlai Peak." ”

"It doesn't look very far either. Zhao Jing said.

"It's really not very far, but looking at the mountains and running horses, looking not far, it is actually very difficult to walk. Sun Fei said.

At this time, suddenly one of the team members shouted: "Horse team, come and see, there is a corpse here." ”

"It's coming. The horse team responded.

Hearing this, I heard Sun Fei say: "Miss Zhao, let's go over and take a look, it is likely to be wild wolves or other wild beasts, most of them are starving to death." ”

Zhao Jing took out his camera and responded excitedly, these are all good materials.

Several explorers surrounded the corpse, frowning, and the two female explorers were even more frightened and pale, disgusting.

"What's wrong? Isn't it just a corpse, is there so much scary?" Sun Fei said disapprerovingly.

But when he got closer, he suddenly gasped.

It was a tiger, with two eyes missing, and its sockets were bloody, and it looked very oozing.

The tiger skin was directly stripped open, not like it was artificial, but more like it was caused by sharp claws.

The tiger meat has been eaten completely, and even the intestines and viscera have not been spared, and only a pile of skeletons remains.

"What kind of beast is this, preying on tigers?" said one of the male team members.

"It can't really be a vulture, right?" Zhou Yu said.

"Don't talk nonsense, a vulture can still prey on a tiger, why doesn't it spend the day?" Sun Fei said angrily.

Everyone was silent for a while, and they really couldn't figure it out.

"It can't be a grizzly bear, right?" asked one of the team members.

"No, the grizzly bear is not much stronger than the tiger, there is no trace of a fight here, as if the tiger was killed suddenly, and the wounds left on the tiger mountain are not like those left by the grizzly bear. Captain Ma said.

"It can't be some unknown creature, right?" Zhou Yu said.

Captain Ma shook his head for a while, and then said: "Everyone clean up, this place is not suitable for a long time, you have to leave here as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm. The crowd answered.

Immediately, the group packed their luggage and moved on.

Zhao Jing took a few photos of the tiger's wreckage, and his face turned pale with fright.

"Scared?" asked Sun Fei.

"Sort of. Zhao Jing secretly sighed.

"Don't you think it's exciting?" asked Sun Fei with a smile.

"Exciting?" Zhao Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "It's a little exciting, but it's more scared." ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, we've got shotguns. When you go back and write the report, I have already thought of the title for you, explore Yuquan Mountain, encounter unknown creatures on the road, and feed on tigers. I promise, it's going to be hot!" Sun Fei said.

Zhao Jing smiled, "I'll take a look when I go back." ”

"When it's hot, remember to invite me to dinner!" Sun Fei said.

"Okay!" Zhao Jing said cheerfully.

The group packed their bags and moved on.

However, after less than half an hour, heavy snow suddenly came, and the mountain road became more difficult to walk.

"No, it's snowing too much, and we have to find a place to camp. Captain Ma said.

"Horse team, the valley is flat and suitable for camping. Zhou Yu pointed to the valley not far away and said.

"No, it's too humid to set up camp, find a slightly flatter hillside. The horse team said.

The group walked a little further, and finally found a slightly smoother hillside.

Immediately, the group began to set up camp.

It snowed heavily for several days, and the exploration team could not move forward at all, so they had to repair in place.

Thanks to them, they brought enough compressed food, so they don't have to worry about food for the time being.

In the past few days, Ye Fan has consumed another hundred cans of spiritual energy, and the true yuan in his body is already very powerful, and he feels that he is only one step away from the second layer of qi training.

Ye Fan abandoned distracting thoughts, continued to absorb aura, and began to make the final impact.

A few days later, the snow stopped and the sun shone brightly, and the exploration team packed their bags and continued their journey.

Ye Fan devoted himself to the breakthrough, and with the support of sufficient aura, the process of breakthrough was not difficult.

At noon on this day, Ye Fan successfully broke through and stepped into the second layer of qi training.

At this time, there was not much left of the aura tank, only three or four tanks remained.

"Hoo ......"

Ye Fan let out a long breath of turbid qi, looked at the only three or four cans of spiritual energy, and frowned slightly: "I just broke through the second layer of qi training, and I still need a sufficient amount of spiritual energy to stabilize my cultivation, these three or four cans of spiritual energy are obviously not enough." ”

"Forget it, go back to Yuquan Town first. Now that he has broken through the second layer of Qi training, he is not afraid of that vulture. By the way, go back to the town and prepare a large net to use against the vulture. ”

Thinking this, Ye Fan came out of the cave and flew towards Yuquan Town.
