Chapter 643: Reaching the Top (2)
The two reached a preliminary agreement, and He Xiaofeng took the star wheel and went straight to Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
Mount Everest is the highest peak on the earth, with a height of 8844.43 meters, and the highest place on the earth is here.
The astrologer explained that this star wheel must be connected to the earth, connected to the earth's qi, and carry the starlight, so only on the mountain peaks can the star wheel be complete.
He Xiaofeng flew in a mecha and came to the underground of Mount Everest in the middle of the night. He didn't fly straight up, but carried the star wheel behind him and began to climb the mountain.
Every climber wants to conquer the world's highest peak! Every year, climbers die on Mount Everest, and sometimes even an avalanche destroys an entire mountaineering team.
Therefore, climbing Mount Everest is also a super-difficult event in extreme sports. He Xiaofeng also wanted to test how far his physical fitness had reached now, so he tried to climb the mountain with his bare hands without any equipment.
With Xiaobai here, he doesn't have to worry about safety, even if he encounters an avalanche, he can deal with it.
It's the end of December, and it's cold near Mount Everest, which is already cold because of the high terrain, and now it's even more cold and howling, and the chill is overwhelming.
Standing at the bottom of Mount Everest, looking around, there are stretches of snow-capped mountains, majestic peaks, the sky is blue and clear, and a few white clouds are dotted, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Because He Xiaofeng just came out of Seoul, he wore an autumn suit, and he had to use internal force to keep out the cold in this place. He looked up at the towering peaks, like a spirit ape, and climbed the mountain with light skills.
There are rock walls below Mount Everest, and He Xiaofeng climbs the mountain like a dragonfly and water, effortlessly. But the higher he went, the stronger the wind became, and the snow gradually appeared, and the ice and snow were slippery, and he had to be careful.
The northern part of Mount Everest belongs to Huaxia, while the southern part belongs to Nepal, where the northern slope is more difficult to climb than the southern slope. Generally, the mountaineering team that comes to challenge is to go to the north slope, which is also the route He Xiaofeng is climbing now.
In the process of climbing, He Xiaofeng also saw a camp for commercial mountaineering. This is because in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people climbing Mount Everest, and it was built purposely.
There seemed to be people in the camp, but He Xiaofeng didn't care, it was getting late now, and he had to reach the top of the mountain before dark.
At an altitude of about 6,640 meters, He Xiaofeng encountered a section of ice wall. A large section of the mountain is covered with ice walls, and even with all the climbing equipment, it is not easy to climb this section.
There is a rope on the ice wall that can be climbed slowly by pulling the rope.
But He Xiaofeng is to test his ability, so he naturally won't use it. The friction of the ice wall is too small, and there is no attachment point, so it is almost impossible to go up with light work alone.
He Xiaofeng used his hand as an ice axe, he directly gathered the internal force on his fingers, inserted it into the ice and snow, and climbed up cautiously.
A section of ice wall almost exhausted his internal strength, plus physical exertion, high lack of oxygen, he had to rest for half an hour before continuing to climb up.
Below him, a mountaineering team also came to the bottom of the ice wall. There were nine of them, five of whom were foreigners and four were Chinese.
"The North Col Ice Wall, which is the most difficult section below 8,000 meters above sea level. A Tibetan girl said that she was the guide of the mountaineering team, and she was a seventeen-year-old girl named Baozhu Zhuoma.
Although he is not very old, Baozhu Zhuoma knows the terrain well. Her family was poor and lived in this area, so she came out to guide the mountaineering team without fear of hardship and danger.
Several foreign climbers sighed when they saw the steep and smooth ice walls of the North Col, and the other three Chinese were all men. They were about twenty-five to thirty-five years old, all of them fully equipped and shocked.
"It's a miracle of nature! I don't know how I can climb such an ice wall without a climbing rope specially fixed here!" exclaimed one man.
Baozhu Zhuoma said: "Everyone be careful, we will climb one by one." Be sure to stay safe. ”
The rest of the people also became cautious, under Mount Everest, hundreds of climbers are buried, and this world's highest peak is not for fun.
They took safety precautions, led the way by Baozhu Zhuoma, pulling the rope, and climbed up one by one.
The nerves are tense all the time, and they have to consume physical strength, and everyone is a little unbearable. Baozhu Zhuoma encouraged: "Let's work hard, we must reach the second camp at an altitude of 6,700 meters before dark!"
A Chinese man behind her said, "Baozhu, be careful, I'll guard you from behind." His name is Luo An, and he is a veteran mountaineer, 25 years old this year.
Baozhu Zhuoma's skin is the healthiest wheat color, and her body is exquisite, with the enthusiasm and simplicity of a Tibetan girl. And her eyes look like gemstones, which is very eye-catching.
Luo An has been dedicated to her since he saw Baozhu Zhuoma.
Baozhu Zhuoma exhaled and said, "Thank you." ”
At this moment, a foreigner suddenly screamed, and his voice was exaggerated. Baozhu Zhuoma stopped and shouted behind her, "What's wrong?" She only knew some simple English, all about mountaineering terms, which she didn't understand when the foreigner said it.
Luo An translated for her: "He said that he had found something valuable and wanted to stop and study it! That guy seems to be a biologist." ”
Baozhu Zhuoma shouted, "Don't stay here, we have to climb the ice wall before the body is consumed!"
The foreigner was still screaming, and one of the Huaxia team members below also exclaimed, "Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
Baozhu Zhuoma and Luo An looked hard at the place they said, and saw that on the ice wall, there was a row of deep finger holes, as well as scratches, which spread all the way to the ice wall, as if a person had climbed along the ice wall with his bare hands.
These finger holes apparently appeared not long ago, and are not yet covered in snow and ice.
Luo An also shouted, "Has anyone climbed up from here with their hands?
Baozhu Zhuoma said: "It doesn't have to be a human hand, maybe it's a special shape of mountaineering grasp!"
A few people below didn't believe it, because the mark was too much like a human hand, and the foreign biological expert even said that he would knock off a piece as a sample, which might be the trace left by some "snowman".
Baozhu Zhuoma hurriedly stopped him, the ice and snow were connected, and knocking down a piece was likely to affect a large area, causing a large area of ice and snow to fall off and be troublesome.
After taking pictures, they climbed up the ice wall. Heading to Camp 2, they guessed multiple versions of the finger holes and scratches on the snow and ice. In the end, everyone thought that this was probably the trace left by the wild man of the snowy mountain, because it is impossible for normal people to do this.
He Xiaofeng didn't know that the traces he left behind were regarded as monsters, and he finally reached the summit of Mount Everest in the middle of the night. (To be continued.) )
