Chapter 364: Flying
After nearly an hour and a half of walking, they finally stepped into the territory of the snowy peak climate. The temperature was only seven or eight degrees, which was already a little cold, but the good news was that it was not windy, so it was more comfortable to walk.
Perhaps because of the high amount of water melted by the snow, the vegetation at the foot of these snow-capped peaks is exceptionally green. There is no snow at the foot of the mountain, but there is a lot of gravel, and some of the slopes are unusually abrupt, revealing black-brown ridges.
After more than three hours of traveling, Wang Lihong and the others finally arrived at their destination.
The place where the few of them are standing now is a small mountain to the east of the Hundred Days Peak, but because of the perspective of looking up, we can't see the Hundred Days Peak.
"Professor Wang, let's go." Wang Lihong greeted Wang Zhichu and took the lead in climbing.
Wang Lihong and Lu Kui walked in the front, after all, they don't know how many times they have walked on these terrains, and they are more experienced.
This snow-capped mountain is small, and if you stand on the front of the Hundred Peaks, you probably won't be able to see the existence of this mountain at all. Because the mountain is relatively low, only the top part of the mountain is covered with snow, and the rest is barren and bare mountains and rocky vegetation.
The road up the mountain is much more difficult, Wang Lihong and each of them are holding a mountaineering pick, in case of a fall accident, they can use the pickaxe to grasp the ground as soon as possible, so as to avoid slipping and hurting or falling to the bottom of the mountain and dying.
When the climbing trail reached the snowy part, they took out the climbing poles, after all, they didn't know what was hidden under the snow, and if there were cracks in the rocks or something, they could also detect it at the first time to avoid the danger of falling into the snow.
After nearly four hours of climbing, Wang Lihong and his entourage reached the top of this snow-capped mountain.
At this time, the Bairi Peak in front of him was like a huge statue, towering in front of Wang Lihong. At least visually and sensitively, it gives them a little oppression. He suddenly had the feeling that he was a monkey and that this Hundred Days Peak was a Buddha.
After reaching the top, they walked west for a while. When I walked to this cliff, I felt that these two snowy peaks were so close.
Wang Lihong: The position they are standing on now is a cliff, facing the east wall of the Hundred Days Peak. It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west, so we happened to be in the most backlit place.
Wang Lihong and the others were now going to cross from this snow peak to the opposite Bairi Peak, so they could only swing over from this side.
Wang Lihong measured the distance between the cliffs of these two mountain peaks, and calculated in his heart: "The distance between these two cliffs should only be about 100 meters to 110 meters, and the length of the rope is OK." It worked. ”
"Brother Kui, help load the crossbow and shoot it!"
“OK! No problem. Lu Kui readily agreed.
After Wang Lihong told Lu Kui his thoughts, the two immediately began to assemble the rope to launch the crossbow.
In less than five minutes, the two shooting crossbows were assembled.
After Lu Kui tied the arrow and rope, he handed it to Wang Lihong, and said with some worry: "Mr. Wang, this distance is a bit far, I'm afraid that if this rock is not deep enough, the grip will not be enough." And the middle distance is too far. I think it is better to do a double rope crossing, and the four-side tension cushioning is more appropriate. ”
"Well, you're right, that's what I thought." Wang Lihong agreed with Lu Kui. Silently said in his heart, it seems that this guy is indeed quite experienced.
Double rope crossing is to put two ropes long enough at the most appropriate length, for example, this cliff is 110 meters apart. We were about fifty-five meters away, tying two ropes into a knot. Then shoot the crossbow with two crossbows and shoot two ropes at the same time onto the opposite rock wall. This creates an X-shaped cross-pull, so that no matter which rope the climber climbs through, the other rope can act as a decompression support, so it is much safer.
“OK! You wait for my signal. After the double rope was crossed, Wang Lihong helped the third rope on his waist and began to climb over the cliff face opposite.
This third rope has two functions, on the one hand, if Wang Lihong has an accident while climbing the rope, this rope can also play the role of an insurance rope, after all, one end of the rope is tied to his body, and the other end of the rope is tied to the rock on this side. The second function is that after Wang Lihong crossed the opposite cliff, he found a suitable opponent with the right amplitude and position, fixed it, and then Wang Zhichu and they used rollers to glide over the rope.
This rope climbing was not challenging for Wang Lihong, and in less than ten minutes, she had successfully climbed to the opposite cliff, and then started the next plan.
Because Wang Zhichu wants to roller gliding, the height of Wang Lihong's side must be a little lower than the horizontal height of their side.
Wang Lihong took a good look at the terrain here, then chose a location, climbed down about three meters, and found that there was a protruding rock that was more suitable.
The rock was more than three meters wide enough for them to stand on, and there was some convex shape on the rock, just enough to hold the rope in place.
After getting all this done, Wang Lihong shouted to Wang Zhichu with wireless headphones: "Professor Wang, I'm OK here!" Check the rope over there, and if it's okay, come here. ”
Lu Kui rechecked the friction and fixation of the rope on one side, and after confirming that there was no problem, he let Lan Xi be the first to glide over.
Then several other people slid over one by one.
"Everyone's okay." Wang Lihong confirmed it again.
"It's fine."
"It's fine!"
"Alright, let's go."
After Wang Lihong confirmed that everyone was okay, the four or seven people continued to set off and headed towards the place that Wang Zhichu had deduced.
Wang Lihong and the others slowly moved from the east of the Hundred Days Peak to the northwest, which was equivalent to circling on this halfway up the mountainside.
In about twenty minutes, they reached the snow area, and beyond their imagination, the snow was too thick, even now this month, the snow is still covering the chest, which is too exaggerated.
However, this is not surprising, because two days before Wang Lihong and they came here, it had been snowing heavily for half a month.
The snow was unstable, and we didn't dare to speak or shout too loudly, and if one of us accidentally caused an avalanche, then we were settled.
When Wang Lihong and the others arrived at the so-called destination area, they were all a little confused. According to Wang Zhichu's inference, the entrance to this underground palace should be the area where they are standing now, but because the vast snow covers the mountain, we can't find it at all now, which is a big problem.
