Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 235 See Big Footprints Again
At a glance, Poplar saw that between the snowy peaks in the upper part of the glacier, there seemed to be a white shadow that shook and disappeared behind the snowy peaks.
Thinking of what Guide Yuan said about the goddess of snow's guardian god, who was probably three meters tall and covered in snow, Poplar couldn't help but be surprised, secretly thinking that this white shadow was really the so-called "guardian god"?
He secretly wondered in his heart that the others didn't see the shadow, but they couldn't help but talk about it, discussing with each other what Fang Cai's cry was.
Even Guide Yuan's face changed, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Guide Yuan could only shake his head and say, "It's the first time I've heard this scream, I don't know what monster is screaming!"
"If you want me to say let's go in the direction where the cry came from, and see if we can find this monster!" said Iron Bull.
"What's the use of finding this monster?" Hong Xing glanced at Tie Niu, "And this cry just now seems to have come from a high place, it's not easy for us to cross this glacier with our bare hands, and then we have to climb to the top of the snowy mountain, we are not mountaineers, why do we spend this effort?"
Bai Yang actually wanted to go to a high place, after all, he had just seen the white shadow for a moment, if this white shadow was the "Guardian God" as Yuan Gui said, then follow the footprints of this Guardian God, maybe you can find the direction of the Snow God Valley.
However, as Hong Xing said, their group did not come to climb the snow mountain, although they also brought some climbing tools and equipment, but it is still a little difficult to rely on these equipment to climb the snow peak.
What's more, the white shadow disappeared in a flash, and once they reached the snow peak, it would be difficult for them to even walk, in case the white shadow was drawn to attack them, they probably wouldn't even have room to parry.
Therefore, Bai Yang didn't mention the matter of seeing Bai Ying just now, but turned his head and asked Guide Yuan: "Guide Yuan, do you think where we should go next?"
Yuan Xiang looked at the large glacier in front of him, raised his face to look at the sky, and said: "To pass through this glacier, I am afraid it will be difficult in less than an hour or two, and it will be dark by then, so we can't spend the night on the glacier!"
It was only four o'clock when Poplar looked at his watch, but it would take him an hour or two to walk from here to the snow-free hillside below.
Moreover, the terrain of this large glacier in front of you is complicated, and if you really want to continue walking, you are really not sure where you will go when it gets dark.
So Poplar nodded, and asked the other people's opinions, and they all thought it would be better to retreat down the mountain first.
However, several people did not return along the original road, but were led by Guide Yuan, crossing the ice lake from the other direction, preparing to climb over a mountain in front of them, and then go down the mountain.
The side of the hill facing the glacial lake was also covered with snow and ice, and it was very difficult for several people to climb up.
Poplar and Tie Niu naturally walked in front, but unexpectedly, as soon as they climbed the mountain, Tie Niu suddenly made a "huh".
At the same time, Aspen noticed a series of huge footprints, and after walking along the snow on the top of the mountain, it disappeared into the smooth and hard ice.
Poplar immediately crouched down and examined the footprints.
Tie Niu followed him and said: "These footprints are really exactly the same as the footprints in Wang Jiutang's tomb, Lao Bai, you say, there really are people with such big feet in this world?"
"I'm afraid these may not be human footprints!" said Poplar, his tone serious and his expression solemn, "This is snow, how can anyone walk on the snow without shoes?"
The big footprints found near the tomb of Wang Jiutang before, Bai Yang had already seen that they were barefoot footprints, but it was hot at that time, and there were many people in the mountains who were barefoot and did not wear shoes.
But now on this snowy peak at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, if anyone dares to walk barefoot, a pair of feet will inevitably be frozen by ice and snow.
But the footprints in front of me are clearly barefoot. The snow is soft, and the footprints are so clear that even the gaps between the toes are clear.
Ding Lingling and a few other people then climbed up the mountain, and they were also attracted by those footprints, and couldn't help but discuss what kind of footprints they were while investigating.
Chu Mingyu took out his camera and took a few photos, and Jack suddenly called out in English.
The others didn't understand what he was calling for, but Chu Mingyu nodded again and again after being stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, what Jack said makes a lot of sense!"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Hongxing, turning her eyes to Ding Lingling.
Ding Lingling was originally proficient in English, but at this moment she shook her head and said, "I didn't hear clearly, so I don't understand what he means!"
Chu Mingyu smiled like a flower and said, "Jack just said an English word, he doesn't know how to translate into Chinese, which means Himalayan snowman!"
"Himalayan Yeti? How did this get to the Himalayan Yeti?"
Poplar couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Ding Lingling was already nodding again and again, and said, "Yes, Jack's idea is not unreasonable!"
When she said this, she saw that Tie Niu was still stunned, so she smiled slightly and explained it clearly.
"The legend of the Himalayan snowman has been around for decades, and for decades several mountaineers have said that they have seen the Himalayan snowman with their own eyes, and there is even a mountaineer who has photographed the Himalayan snowman!
"That's good!" Chu Mingyu nodded immediately, "This photo was once published in a geographical magazine in the United States, and it caused a sensation at the time, so Jack suddenly remembered this, and I was slower than his reaction!"
She said this, glancing at Jack.
Jack couldn't help but be overjoyed when she complimented her.
"But...... How far away is the Himalayas, it will never ...... The Himalayan snowman has come here, right?" muttered Iron Bull again.
"You're so stupid enough sometimes!" said Hongxing, glaring at Tie Niu, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Chen Xiaopang said: "I have also heard the rumors of snowmen in the Himalayas, and Guide Yuan also said that some people in the local area have seen creatures with a snow-white body and a height of more than three meters, is there really a snowman in this world?"
As soon as he said this, Tie Niu finally came to his senses, and said with a smile: "That's right, the Himalayan snowman naturally can't run, but if there is really a creature like a snowman, it may also live in the Gongga Snow Mountain!"
Several people were amused by him, and Hongxing stared at him with a "you just understand" expression.
Tie Niu scratched his scalp, smiled and asked Guide Yuan: "When did Master Yuan say that there are creatures that are more than three meters white in snow, why haven't I heard it?"
Before, Bai Yang and Guide Yuan walked in front to talk, and only Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang followed them closely. But Hong Xing and Tie Niu only cared about the two of them whispering, and Chu Mingyu and Jack only cared about taking pictures of the magnificent scenery along the road, so the four of them didn't hear the legendary story told by Guide Yuan.
Now listening to Tie Niu's question, Chu Mingyu also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I haven't heard it either, or Master Yuan will talk about it again!"
Guide Yuan was helpless, so he could only say: "I don't understand what snowmen you say, but some of us mountain people have indeed seen it with their own eyes...... The kind of snow-white ...... that is more than three meters tall We don't dare to say what it is...... The snowman, in the eyes of us mountain people, is the guardian god of the goddess of snow!"
These words made Tie Niu and the others even more stunned, and Ding Lingling suddenly said: "Actually, I just heard that strange scream, and I was wondering if it would be ...... Master Yuan said that this snow-white ...... was more than three meters white What creatures are calling!"
"Yes, I thought so too!" Chen Xiaopang nodded.
Poplar opened his mouth to tell them that he had indeed seen a white shadow flashing just now, but once he said it, several people were even more inclined to talk about it. Especially Chu Mingyu, I'm afraid that I will have to chase after this white shadow without doing business.
So he never mentioned this matter, but said: "Let's go down the mountain first, we have to listen to the story, and then ask Master Yuan to talk about it again when we go down the mountain!"
Sure enough, Chu Mingyu was very unwilling, and said: "But we don't care about these footprints? If you want me to say, let's follow these footprints to find them, if we can find the traces of the snowman, and even take a few clear photos, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world!"
"But Miss Chu, this footprint disappeared on the ice, how can we follow this footprint to find it? Besides, the purpose of our visit is not for some snowman photo!" said Bai Yang, very politely.
Chu Mingyu frowned and said, "But didn't Master Yuan say it? The snowman we are talking about is probably the guardian god of the snow goddess that the mountain people identify, so if we can find this guardian god, maybe we can find the Snow God Valley!"
Bai Yang had the same idea before, but at this moment, he couldn't agree with it, and he didn't want to argue with Chu Mingyu, so he simply smiled and said: "The purpose of our coming here this time is just to find the Snow God Valley, if Miss Chu is more interested in the snowman, then how about we simply divide the soldiers into two ways and go their own way?"
"You ......"
Chu Mingyu was angry for a while. Ding Lingling was more familiar with her, and hurriedly played the round and said, "Let's go together! Anyway, we are going to find the Snow God Valley, if this is ...... The legendary snowman is really the guardian god that Master Yuan said, so maybe we will have a chance to meet him head-on, and it will not be too late for Sister Mingyu to take pictures again!"
Chu Mingyu was indignant, but he had no choice but to nod at Ding Lingling and smile reluctantly. I couldn't help but turn my face back and glared at Poplar fiercely.
