Chapter 644: Reaching the Top (3)
Chapter 644: Ascending to the Top (3)
Below him, a mountaineering team also came to the bottom of the ice wall, a total of nine of them, including five foreigners and four 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, you will climb one by one, you must pay attention to safety." ”
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 Wu Jian, 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.
Wu Jian 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.
Wu Jian translated for her: "He said that he had found something valuable and wanted to stop and study! That guy seems to be some kind of 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 Wu Jian looked at the place they said with their efforts, 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 up the ice wall with his bare hands.
These finger holes apparently appeared not long ago, and are not yet covered in snow and ice.
Wu Jian also shouted, "Has anyone climbed up from here with their hands? How is it possible?"
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 the picture, they climbed the ice wall and headed to the second camp, where the finger holes and scratches in the snow and ice were guessed by them for several versions. 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.
Ye Xiang didn't know that the traces he left were regarded as monsters, and he finally climbed to the top of Mount Everest in the middle of the night.
Standing on the top of Mount Everest is, in a sense, equivalent to standing at the top of the world. The mountains are prostrate at the feet, and the peaks are worshipped. Standing here, it is to stand up to the sky, as if it can inherit the majestic atmosphere of the mountains, full of pride.
Looking up, there are stars in the sky, as if within reach, and it is impossible to see such a spectacular scene in the city.
Ye Xiang finally understood why those cultivators liked to practice on the top of a high mountain, in such a place, their hearts became pure, and they had no distractions when cultivating, of course, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
However, Ye Xiang was very curious about the situation of Mount Everest, so he took out the compass to test it, but found that the compass was constantly moving.
"It's kind of interesting!" Ye Xiang muttered.
Ye Xiang sat down cross-legged at random and began to cultivate.
In such a place, it was very helpful for Ye Xiang to cultivate spells related to the ice attribute.
Mount Everest is 8,600 meters above sea level, and the mountaineering team guided by Baozhu Zhuoma carries out the final stage of climbing.
Baozhu Zhuoma's little face was frozen red, and the temperature on Mount Everest in December could reach minus 50 degrees, and the maximum wind could reach 90 meters per second.
Climbing Mount Everest this season is not a good choice, but there is such a group of people in the world who are not afraid of death and crave excitement and challenge. Obviously, the members of this climbing team are all such people.
Baozhu Zhuoma explained: "When the altitude is 8,650 meters to 8,700 meters, you will encounter the second step of the peak, which is also a relatively difficult section to climb. If you are not feeling well, you must not force yourself to climb. ”
The team members said that there was no problem, and they gritted their teeth and endured the cold to continue climbing.
Climb the second step, there is a third step at an altitude of 8800 meters, although it is not difficult, but it is a great test for the body, relying on the yearning for the peak and strong will, the mountaineers finally passed the last difficulty and went to the highest peak!
"Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world!" Wu Jian shouted into the vast expanse of land: "Ah...... I conquered the highest peak in the world!"
Another Chinese also said happily: "At this moment, I have a feeling of dying without regrets. ”
Those foreigners also shouted excitedly, venting their happy feelings. Only Jewel Dolma knelt on the top of the hill and prayed sincerely.
Tibetans all believe in Tibetan Buddhism, and they are in awe of nature and the Dharma, and Baozhu Zhuoma is no exception.
The team members took photos on the summit and took a group photo together.
At this moment, the praying jewel Zhuoma suddenly cried out, "There seems to be someone there!" she pointed to the other side of the peak, which was leaning against the steep cliff face, and they did not go there for safety.
"Where?" the climber looked in the direction he pointed, and behind the rocks, there was a faint figure, motionless, as if seated.
