(133) Continue climbing
"I didn't expect you to agree to me, it's obviously such an excessive request. ”
Outside the cabin, the three of them were ready to go, and Paul Long carried the spear on his shoulder, and kept bowing to Rick and Tibina.
"No, no, it's just a coincidence, you can also go and investigate the ice cave, don't you rush to attack first, then Wendigo will still focus on investigating the ice cave if he doesn't find us." ”
Rick said and lifted the neckline for Tibina, and when he got to a higher place, he couldn't tolerate a little leakage on his clothes, in that extremely low temperature environment, basically showing a little skin would immediately be frostbitten, if he didn't care a little, he would directly lose the sensation of that piece of skin, until he returned to the warm environment again, and that piece of skin would rot directly.
"Well, thank you, without further ado, let's go right away, let's go as early as we can. If you tie the rope, you can just tie it, and if I tie the rope, there will still be some obstacles to my activities. ”
As he spoke, Paul Dragon shook the spear in the air for a moment before retracting the storage magic, and Rick smiled and nodded, and connected the rope to Tibina.
"We don't have enough strength, so it's safer. ”
Rick said softly, Tibina nodded and shrunk her hands and neck into the cotton clothes, although it was still a little hot to put on the clothes now, once the altitude rose again, the temperature would only go down.
The starry world is boundless, I don't know how many peaks rush to the sky, how many strong people are keen on climbing activities, at present, there are three peaks in the known world that have not been conquered by people, but this bloody snow wolf mountain was conquered by a mountaineering enthusiast more than two thousand years ago.
"Okay, let's get ready to go now, rest and keep a little distance from Paul Long, and if you whisper, you won't be noticed by him, and we will definitely be cut off by him if we use magic to transmit sounds." ”
The two of them walked slowly on the mountainside, Paul Dragon was already thirty or fifty meters away from them, professional travelers and amateurs were different, Rick and Tibina could only walk slowly and steadily on the mountain rock one step at a time, and then look at the Paul Dragon, three steps and two steps were easily as if the slope and snow under their feet did not exist, so that every time Paul Long had to wait for the two of them.
As for why you don't use magic to help you climb, the power of nature is terrifying, as long as it roars, there is no strong person who can resist it, so if you encounter any emergency, you can only use magic or magic to save yourself, needless to say, whether you can survive or not, so wasting magic or something is simply the most stupid behavior.
Rick walked in front, Tibina followed behind, the two were three meters apart, every time Rick had to step on the snow under his feet before he dared to continue walking, Tibina of course stepped directly on Rick's footprints, and Rick also specially walked small steps for Tibina to step on.
"Now that he doesn't make a move on us, when will he do it?"
Looking at the figure of Paul Long in front of him, Rick suddenly asked.
"I don't know, but there is no guarantee that he will harm us, be careful, if he really wants to harm us, then he will definitely take advantage of the chaos and something to make another move, and then find time to charge our weapons with energy, a little more to ensure more safety." ”
After Tibina finished speaking, she grabbed a piece of snow from her feet, and then said—
"This snow is very solid, and if an avalanche is crushed, it will take a lot of strength to escape. ”
Tibina pinched the snow in her hand into a ball and threw it at Rick's back, even though it was fresh snow, the tightness was exaggerated, and Rick felt as if he had been punched hard in the back.
"The snow ahead is thicker, be careful, Paul Dragon has slowed down. ”
When Rick said this, the snow had already reached his calves, just at the knees, and if Tibina was to be the standard, the snow would have gone up to part of Tibina's thighs, but fortunately, Tibina's body was light, and it wouldn't weigh down the snow much.
It wasn't long before Paul Dragon stopped abruptly and threw something at Rick and the others, only to find that it was a few pieces of bark and hard-wearing fiber rope when they got closer.
"No more, no less, just four pieces, tie one piece to one foot, increase the force area, so that it will not sink too deep, this is a north slope, although it is easier to walk than that side, but the snow under my feet does not know how thick it is. ”
Before Rick understood why Paul Dragon had thrown these things at them, Tibina had already sat down in the snow and tied the bark to her snow boots.
The wind direction of Bloody Snow Wolf Mountain is basically fixed, and those cumulonimbus clouds will basically be blocked in this area, so the snow here is several times thicker than before.
"It's really easy to walk, and there is a lot of snow in my shoes, so it's like floating on top of the snow." ”
The crunching sound at Rick's feet was much louder than Tibina's, and the snow that could have passed Rick's knees was now carved into his ankles, and Tibina was only up to his ankles.
"Hurry up, it's going to be a week before you reach the summit, and after passing through the clouds, there's basically no snow, and that's where the road is really hard." ”
Tibina withdrew her trekking pole from the storage magic, and instead used her hands to balance on the snow to "walk a tightrope", which was just a heavy stick in the thick snow that couldn't even touch the ground.
"Be careful, it's through the clouds ahead, and I don't know what the environment looks like inside. ”
With that, Rick pulled the rope behind him around his hand a few more times.
"How afraid are you that I will fall into the hole? The clouds in front of you seem to be quite dangerous, but in fact they are just ice fog on the mountain, you just need to pay attention to your physical condition, the more you go to the back, the thinner the air becomes, although we are used to it now, but we still have to pay attention." ”
Tibina jumped a few times, and soon walked side by side with Rick, now the slope of the snowy mountain is about forty degrees, so it is quite convenient to walk, and after the clouds, there is still a section of the road that must be used hand and foot.
"I'll be through the clouds soon, watch your feet, maybe there's a protruding rock somewhere, it doesn't matter if I'm caught, if your leg is injured, the injury is a small thing, and the tear of your clothes is a big thing, and when you change clothes in this cold day, you won't freeze to death." ”
"You know it's hurting me. ”
