Chapter 638: A Strong Wind Blows......
When Ye Xiang and them were leaving, the three men and two women also warmly invited Ye Xiang to join their team, saying that they had a good response along the way, but Ye Xiang politely rejected their kindness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Ye Xiang said goodbye to the team, he still didn't use any mountaineering tools, so he climbed to the top of Mount Everest empty-handed, I don't know how much faster than those who used tools.
Ye Xiang The higher they went, the stronger the wind above became, as if they could blow people away, if it weren't for the fact that he was a powerful grandmaster-level figure, I am afraid that he would have already been blown away by the wind, at this time, Ye Xiang was a little worried about the group of young people just now.
Climbing Mount Everest in this harsh environment is definitely not a rational thing, those young people are not as cultivated as they are, I am afraid that as soon as the wind blows, they will be blown away, and even Ye Xiang has appropriately slowed down the degree of going up the mountain.
The wind on the mountain was whistling, and when it rolled over the mountainside, it made a whining sound, like a trumpet of a charge on the battlefield, especially those snowflakes that blew over, whenever they hit people's faces, their faces were as if they had been hit by bullets, which made people feel so painful.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the wind in the night was even more violent, at this time, even Ye Xiang was no longer suitable to continue climbing Mount Everest, so he had to find a leeward place to prepare for the night.
For general group mountaineering, they will calculate the route and travel plan in advance, and usually choose to spend the night at the camp on Mount Everest, but Ye Xiang is not a pure climber, so he has no such plan.
I saw that Ye Xiang quickly took out a shovel from the Nine Dragons Hall, and after a while, he used the shovel on the snow to dig a camp for shelter from the wind, and then set up the tent or something, and it was finished.
After eating, sit in the tent, listen to the endless wind outside, and feel the warmth inside the tent, although the cultivator has his own mana to regulate the temperature of the body, so that he will not be frozen in a short period of time, but even the most powerful cultivator is no match for the power of nature, otherwise there will be no such thing as the way of heaven.
At this time, the temperature outside Mount Everest has dropped to more than minus 50 degrees, the wind has almost reached more than 90 meters per second, and there is ice and snow going down, in this environment, even if Ye wants to go out, it is difficult to ensure his safety, let alone other climbers.
One night passed, and the next day, the weather on Mount Everest not only did not get better, but became worse and worse, and the temperature also decreased again and again, which is what others said, why in this season that is not suitable for climbing Mount Everest, to climb Mount Everest is no different from looking for death.
Although the weather was not good, the three men and two women in the Everest base camp at this time were also ready to go, they originally contacted the guide who led the way, but the guide said that it was not suitable to climb Mount Everest in this season, no matter what they said, the guide would not take their work, even if the people who added money refused to go, and persuaded them not to climb.
I don't know if the three young men were arrogant or what, they didn't listen to the guide's advice, since the guide refused to go, then they decided to go out on their own, only the two girls seemed a little hesitant.
"Xiaoshuai, why don't we wait for the weather to be good before we go, you see the temperature outside is too low. One girl said to another boy with some concern.
"What are you afraid of? This is exciting enough, you see that the couple yesterday didn't have it, they didn't even have the tools to climb the mountain, we were fully armed, what were we afraid of. The boy said disapprerovingly.
"By the way, where did you say the couple climbed yesterday?" asked another tall boy.
"I saw that they didn't have any equipment and no guides yesterday, so they probably didn't go far, maybe we can keep up with them when we go out now. The boy replied.
"In that case, what are we waiting for, let's go!" the tall boy shouted, grabbed his equipment, and took the lead to start the march towards Mount Everest.
Along the way, the temperature on Mount Everest is getting lower and lower, the monsoon is getting stronger and stronger, and there is sleet, and the team of young people who want to climb Mount Everest soon become embarrassed, although they are wearing waterproof mountaineering clothes, but they are still shivering with cold.
"Xiao Shuai...... I...... I feel so cold. ”
The girl who had expressed concern before saw that her cold lips were already purple, and she began to tremble even when she spoke.
"I ...... Me too. The boy named Xiaoshuai was no better, holding a trekking pole in his hand, and he was shivering with cold.
Not only the two of them, but also the other three partners, everyone was shivering with cold at this time, and even their lips turned black and purple.
And at this moment, suddenly a gust of wind blew from Mount Everest, rolling up all the snowflakes on the ground, and even blowing a few of them around, so that they were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly, fortunately, their bodies were connected to each other with safety ropes, otherwise, the consequences were really unimaginable.
The five of them all squatted down, hugging in a group, trying to lower their bodies to avoid the wind blowing on them, and I don't know how long it took for the wind to slowly weaken, and at this moment I saw that the five of them had become five snowmen in this white snowfield.
Although these five people are fine, the equipment they carry, including communication equipment, has been blown away by the strong wind just now, including their food and tents, and if you look at them from the sky at this moment, you will see that these five people are like five little ants in the snow, not at all inconspicuous.
Ye Xiang was also on Mount Everest at the moment, when the strong wind blew just now, Ye Xiang was very alert to make a big hole on the snow peak, and then went in to avoid the wind, and when the wind passed, Ye Xiang walked out unharmed.
Due to the weather, Ye wanted to stay where he was for the rest of the day, and then continue to go up after the weather was a little better.
So now Ye Xiang has found a place where he can hide from the wind and snow very experienced, and began to tidy up the camp.
Ye Xiang's camp was not built directly outside the snow-capped mountain, which was not enough for a gust of wind, he dug a boxy snow hole in a leeward snow hill, and then set up a tent inside.
