Chapter 581: Footprints in the Snow
Jiang Feng climbed Mount Everest, not to conquer Mount Everest and experience the taste of climbing high and looking into the distance to see the small mountains, but he needed to use this summit to abandon the distracting thoughts in his heart.
For ordinary people, climbing Mount Everest may be an extremely risky action, requiring great perseverance and courage to put their own life and death aside for the time being, but for Jiang Feng, it is not too difficult.
Jiang Feng casually chose a direction to climb the mountain, and in a way that was almost rampage, he went straight to the top of the mountain. If someone sees him climbing a mountain like walking on the ground, he will probably be so surprised that his eyes will pop out.
An hour later, Jiang Feng had already appeared at an altitude of nearly five thousand meters, and at this altitude, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
Although Mount Everest is a bitter cold place, it is not uncommon for people to appear, and there are often mountaineering enthusiasts from all over the world, Jiang Feng has seen that there are traces of various footprints on the snow, which are left by some climbers.
Jiang Feng did not stop, continued to go up, gradually, the thickness of the snow became deeper and deeper, and as far as Jiang Feng could see, he could faintly see some people who had climbed the peak.
Unlike Jiang Feng who walked alone, those who climbed the peak all came prepared, in groups, relying on various tools, on the snow, walking alone.
Jiang Feng didn't want to deal with those people, he also knew that if he appeared like this, once he fell into the eyes of others, he would definitely cause some waves and unnecessary trouble, or be treated as a monster.
Jiang Feng turned around, avoiding the area where the activities of the peak-climbers were more intensive, and continued to move forward from another direction, the altitude was getting higher and higher, and the oxygen was becoming thinner and thinner, although Jiang Feng's actions were not greatly affected, but this change was understood by him one by one.
"Hey, there's been a lot of people here. He didn't go far, Jiang Feng just saw the traces of footprints.
Different from the various messy footprints that Jiang Feng had seen before, the footprints here were very single, spreading into the distance, looking at the footprints, they were clearly left by a person after walking.
And if it was just that, it wouldn't surprise Jiang Feng, what really attracted Jiang Feng's attention was that the distance between these footprints was very far, from one footprint to another, there was almost a distance of nearly three meters.
Moreover, the traces left by those footprints on the snow are very light, and I don't know whether the footprints are originally very light, or if they are blown by the wind on the snowfield, only a thin layer is left, and if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to detect at all.
Jiang Feng turned his head and glanced at the footprints he had left on the snow, compared to the series of footprints that stretched far away in front of him, the footprints he left were clearly deeper, and the distance between each step was only about two meters.
Two meters and three meters, judging from the numbers alone, may not be too different, but there is a fundamental difference in a certain Cheng dΓΉ.
Because Jiang Feng traveled all the way, although he did not move forward at full speed, he did not deliberately slow down, but the footprints he left behind, in addition to being deeper than the footprints he saw, the spacing between each step was also shorter, which clearly showed that the strength of the person who left the footprints was much higher than him.
"I didn't expect that on this Mount Everest, I could also see the traces left by ancient martial arts cultivators. Jiang Feng frowned and said secretly.
At this time, Jiang Feng could already be sure that the thin footprints were not blown thin by the wind, but that they were originally so thin, because if the strength of the person who left the footprints could not reach this level, there would be no way to step out in one step on this peak of thin oxygen, just that far away.
"One step out, is a distance of three meters, if I go at full speed, it is not impossible to do it, but these footprints are not regular, on the contrary, there is a little messy, obviously, the person who left the footprints is walking in an extremely leisurely way, in this way, the strength of that person, has reached a rather terrifying point. Jiang Feng analyzed carefully, and his heart was awe-inspiring.
In Jiang Feng's opinion, the person who left the footprints was at least a strong person who cultivated in the late stage of the Heavenly Level, or maybe a strong person who cultivated in the Three Tribulations Heaven, and even, Jiang Feng faintly felt that it was more likely that he was a strong person in the Three Tribulations Heavenly Cultivation.
Jiang Feng groaned, looked at the string of footprints and was silent for a while, avoiding the direction in which the footprints stretched, and choosing another direction to walk.
Without knowing the character of the person who left the footprints, Jiang Feng didn't want to take risks in the face of such a strong person, because judging from the two strongest people of the Three Tribulation Heavenly Cultivators he had met so far, it was definitely an invincible existence, and once an accident happened, he would definitely die.
But soon, Jiang Feng just found that he had taken the wrong path, and the difficulty of this route to the peak was more than ten times higher than the road he had taken before.
There were traces left by the collapse of the snow everywhere, and Jiang Feng still saw the corpses of some adventurers, this road, even for him, to climb up, became a little difficult.
"If you go all the way to Mount Everest, but it is not interesting, this road may be difficult to walk, but it can also be a good grind. Jiang Feng said softly, his feet did not stop, tossing and turning, and went straight to the peak.
"Well, there's blood in the snow. Jiang Feng saw at a glance that there was a red mark on the white snow, with a faint smell of blood emitting from the wind.
"It was a snow leopard that had been killed. Soon, Jiang Feng saw the corpse of a snow leopard not far away, and Jiang Feng's figure flashed and appeared next to the corpse of the snow leopard.
The snow leopard's skin was peeled off, and a lot of flesh and blood were cut off, but Jiang Feng took a few looks, and still saw that this snow leopard was surrounded and killed by many people, because the snow leopard's flesh and blood had wounds from different weapons.
"At this height, human activities have been very inconvenient, ordinary people encounter snow leopards, can only expel the snow leopard as much as possible, otherwise once the snow leopard attack, it will be fatal, and this snow leopard is now killed by people, a bit strange. Jiang Feng muttered softly.
"If nothing else, this snow leopard should have been besieged and killed by several ancient martial arts cultivators, but although Mount Everest is a paradise for extreme adventurers, it is not very attractive to ancient martial arts cultivators, if it is not for penance, ancient martial arts cultivators, it is generally impossible to come to this kind of place. Jiang Feng analyzed what he saw in front of him, slightly puzzled.
"Whew!"
But at this moment, Jiang Feng's ears moved slightly, he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, Jiang Feng suddenly turned around, and saw a black crossbow arrow, cut his breath, and shot towards the back of his head.
Jiang Feng's right hand stretched out like a lightning bolt in an instant, and two fingers stretched out, instantly clamping the crossbow arrow that came from his hand.
"Who, get out of here. Jiang Feng didn't expect that someone would sneak attack on this Mount Everest, his voice was cold, and he said sharply.
Behind the snow slope not far away, a few heads were exposed, and soon five people walked out, those five people, four men and one woman, Jiang Feng saw at a glance that the woman was holding a crossbow in her hand, there is no doubt that the crossbow arrow that shot at him was shot by the woman.
"Friend, misunderstanding. After the five people came up, one of the middle-aged men said, the middle-aged man looked at the crossbow arrow between Jiang Feng's two fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was shining.
"Misunderstanding, is it?" Jiang Feng smiled coldly, and with a flick of his hand, the crossbow arrow shot faster than if it was fired with a crossbow, towards the woman with the crossbow.
"Ahh
After pulling the woman down, the middle-aged man quietly gasped, only to see a deep blood mark on the woman's neck, and the blood gushed out, immediately dyeing half of the woman's neck.
That blood mark, if it goes a little deeper, will cut the major artery in the woman's neck, and at that time, the woman will not only be injured, but may be killed in an instant.
The middle-aged man looked at the wound on the woman's neck, and for a while, he couldn't tell whether Jiang Feng missed or Jiang Feng's subordinates showed mercy when he made a move, but no matter which one it was, Jiang Feng threw it casually, and a short crossbow arrow caused such an amazing lethality, or it made the middle-aged man's heart stir up.
"Friend, I can assure you, it was definitely a misunderstanding. After the middle-aged man was stunned, he hurriedly said, while the other three men hurriedly stopped the bleeding for the woman, and their faces were not very good-looking.
"Then tell me, why did you sneak attack me?" Jiang Feng said lightly.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said: "That's the case, we just saw your back just now, thinking it was our enemy, so we made a sneak attack, otherwise, how can we attack you, little brother, this is all a misunderstanding." β
"Oh, yes, it seems that your enemy is very powerful, and he actually let a strong person like you who is a late-stage cultivator not hesitate to sneak attack. Jiang Feng said with a smile.
The middle-aged man's heart was shocked again, if Jiang Feng hurt the woman as soon as he made a move, it was already a enough surprise for him, then Jiang Feng could see his cultivation at a glance, and he was even more shocked.
The middle-aged man thought that his eyes were vicious, but he stared at Jiang Feng for a while, and he couldn't see through Jiang Feng's cultivation, but Jiang Feng simply saw his cultivation and judged each other, what this meant, the middle-aged man couldn't be clearer.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he said with an extremely sincere look: "Little brother, let's not hide it, our enemy is a strong man with a heaven-level cultivation, even if the five of us join forces, we are definitely not opponents, there is no other way than a sneak attack, otherwise we will only have a dead end." β
Speaking of this, as if to confirm the credibility of these words, the middle-aged man continued: "Little brother, I see that your eyes are like torches, and I can see Wei's slight cultivation at a glance. β
Jiang Feng's eyebrows twitched, he had indeed seen that these five people had been injured, and their breath was unstable.
"Could it be that the sneak attack just now was really a misunderstanding?" Jiang Feng muttered to himself, always feeling that something was not quite right, but for a while, he couldn't analyze what was wrong, but the murderous aura on his body slowly dissipated a lot.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand and walked towards Jiang Feng with the other four people.
