Chapter 500: The Sacred Mountain is Glowing
At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone was already at an altitude of 7,000 meters.
Natashi Kamu collapsed completely, and climbing Mount Everest was never a hasty activity, and it usually took about a week to reach the summit.
But these monsters, who climbed from the foot of the mountain to an altitude of 7,000 meters in one day, are simply not human. Looking at the expressions of each of them that did not change their colors, and the expressions that directly ignored the cruel cold wind of the icy and snowy land, Tashi Kamu even wanted to quit the mountaineering world from now on.
He was really prostration, even if he didn't walk all the time, he was carried on his back, but it was going to die.
You know, it's not walking on your back, it's climbing a mountain on your back. And it's not an ordinary mountain, it's Mount Everest. There is no road on Mount Everest, and most of the time you have to rely on ropes to climb up. To put it simply, these strong men take turns carrying themselves on their backs to climb rocks on this Jedi. No, ice climbing.
One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and it is better to be carried on his own than to walk safely, Tashi Kamu thinks.
Because judging from the current place, if you don't pay attention, you will fall. And it takes more than a minute to fall to the ground from a distance of 7 kilometers......
"There's the North Col up there, we really can't go any further, we have to stop and rest."
Tashi Kamu shouted hoarsely over the walkie-talkie.
Because he looked at the appearance of these people, it seemed that he wanted to reach the top in one go, and then hurry back to his own house to find his own mother.
But at other altitudes, at places above 7,000 meters, absolutely not!
Most people grit their teeth and make it to the 7,000-meter mark.
The fastest took two days to reach an altitude of 7,000 meters. However, at the summit of more than 1,000 meters above 7,000 meters, it takes five times as much time and energy to climb.
Just because the position of 7028 meters is the first pass of Mount Everest - North Col.
Further up, 7,400 meters is the big wind outlet.
Further up. 8560-8600 meters in this short 40 meters, is the Everest moat - the second step.
If you want to climb Mount Everest, you need to clear these three levels, as long as you pass the most difficult three levels, you have a great chance of reaching the top.
Therefore, at a distance of 7 kilometers, it is necessary to set up camp. You have to rest, replenish your strength, and then hit those three levels.
The three levels are to be passed in a row. There is no more terrain to rest on.
Tashi Kamu needs money, but he needs his life even more.
Zhang Jue stopped and thought for a moment, looked up at the North Col that seemed to be within reach, and the sense of calling in his heart suddenly became very strong.
looked at Qu Xiang. saw Qu Xiang also looking upwards with burning eyes. Obviously, his inspiration suddenly became stronger.
Zhang Jue was silent for a while and said, "Let's vote." Those who want to rest raise their left hand, and those who want to climb to the top in one go raise their right hand. ”
Brush Brush Brush!
The sound of raising hands kept coming, and the result was eye-catching, but only Tashi Kamu was the only one present who raised his left hand, and everyone else raised his right hand in unison.
Bodyguards are also human. They also have moments of excitement and restlessness. Climb to the top in one go, and this will make history. Now they had reached the bottom of the North Col, and they found that, however, the cold wind was blowing on them without feeling, and their physical strength was strong, and they did not need to rest at all.
The most important thing is that they saw that Qu Xiang was also holding up his left hand, and they would definitely be in the same camp as Qu Xiang.
The task above was never to interfere with Qu Xiang's behavior, but to protect his safety, and to protect his safety in any situation.
Therefore, their task is only to protect Qu Xiang and protect it with their own lives. Instead of interfering with his actions, they couldn't interfere with Qu Xiang's actions at all.
No one has much pressure to protect Qu Xiang, although he is nervous, but the pressure is not great.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qu Xiang actually doesn't need protection at all, and there are thousands of troops around him at any time. It's the law. Where there is Qu Xiang, there is a legion!
"Ugh."
When Tashi Kamu saw this scene, he sighed: "Then I'll go with you." ”
I secretly said in my heart: The sacred mountain will make you die.
Zhang Jue smiled: "Okay, isn't it almost there?" Show us the way, and we'll just go ourselves. ”
"That's not good, I took the money, and I have to do my duty to the end. If you insist on going your own way, I have no choice but to accompany you. ”
Tashi Kamu said solemnly.
Qu Xiang smiled: "You are such an interesting person, you can rest here, we don't need you." They'll help you set up a tent where you can sleep overnight. Tomorrow morning, you can go down the mountain on your own, or wait for us, or contact the members stationed at the bottom of the mountain. ”
"This ......"
Before Tashi Kamu could finish speaking, Zhang Jue interrupted: "I'll give you the money when I go down the mountain, goodbye." ”
"Let's go!"
With a loud shout, the team of more than 70 people began to climb again.
With the last strength of his body, Tashi Kamu shouted, "When it gets dark, you won't be able to see the way." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tashi Kamu suddenly saw that as far as he could see, all the flashlights lit up.
Indeed, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, it seems that darkness can swallow up light. However, when the amount of light is large enough, the light will swallow up the darkness.
It was the light of thousands of flashlights, and there was no darkness in that area, as if only that part of the whole world was out of the sun, too bright. Tashi Kamu, who was a few hundred meters away, could even see a visible ice blade emerge from the snow.
"God, the mountain is shining, and the mountain is showing them the way?"
Tashi Kamu exclaimed in surprise and knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
He took out this matter and blew it for the rest of his life, ( ) said that he saw the glow of the sacred mountain and showed the way for those people. But no one believed him. How can a mountain shine? How can the mountain glow at night and show the way for climbers?
Yes, it is true that mountains do not glow, and sacred mountains cannot dispel darkness.
It was the thousands of troops and horses of the Zhongyuan Society that dispersed the darkness, and those thousands of troops and horses surrounded Qu Xiang and kept moving forward. A large army surrounded Qu Xiang and others, and the small troops were like probing horses, constantly going to the front road, or going to the back road to investigate the terrain, or whether there were potential safety hazards.
The flashlights of the seventy mountaineers were not enough to illuminate the road in the dark, so the thousands of troops of the Zhongyuan Society each took out their flashlights to light the way ahead for them. Let the night be as bright as day.
The seventy bodyguards had always known that there were many ghosts around Qu Xiang, but they had never seen them. When I saw it today, I couldn't help but be shocked, and the momentum was too huge.
It's so big that the whole mountain is lit up, and when you turn off the flashlight, you can see a long distance. It's like an artificial sun.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains are all over the wilderness, and there is a large halo of light when you go to unpopular places. (To be continued.) )
