Chapter 173: The so-called mountain range
After dark, the mid-mountainous and high-mountain areas of Autumn Commander Mayar will be particularly dangerous, firstly, because there is a thick layer of snow in the high mountainous areas, and if you accidentally cause an avalanche, even a spiritual practitioner may die in it; The second is that there will be a gang wind in a high place, if you don't find a place to shelter from the wind before the gang wind rags in the early morning, in order to resist the attack of gang wind, a yuan infant spiritual practice can consume the spiritual power in just two hours, which is tantamount to self-suicide for spiritual cultivation. Such natural conditions, coupled with the fact that it was dark and his vision was poor, caused most of Mayang's spiritual practice to fall in the dark.
Since the records of his predecessors repeatedly emphasized that he should not rush to the night road in the high mountains of Mayang in autumn, Yu Chen naturally did not feel that he could be a maverick, so with the little sunlight left in the sky and the reflection of snow, he found a shelter behind a huge rock covered with snow enough for two or three people, and after a little arrangement, he hid in it, preparing to wait for dawn.
This shelter has obviously avoided many people, there are still traces of artificial widening on the rock wall, and there are traces of a bonfire burning on the ground, Yu Chen arranged a simple spiritual array outside to keep the temperature of this small space from too low, and then began to meditate and rest.
After he closed his eyes, the absinthe, who was very curious about the outside world, came out of his cuff, looked up at the darkness outside, stared at the few stars in the sky with only a glimmer of light, and looked at it for a long time before he went back to his sleeve and went to sleep.
As for Li Qingyu, he has been stuck to his collar in a grass seed state and does not move, and I don't know if he is asleep.
Nothing happened overnight.
When the wind outside was much quieter, Yu Chen opened his eyes and found that the sky was already slightly bright, but the sun had not yet risen, and it should be much safer to travel now, so he removed the spirit array and drilled out.
As soon as he showed his head, he was beaten by a biting cold wind. Although he is spiritual. His physical fitness was also very high because of his bloodline, but the sudden exposure to such an abrupt temperature change still made him a little difficult to handle, so he lowered his head and asked Li Qingyu on the collar with some concern: "Ah Li, do you feel cold?" ”
Li Qingyu didn't answer, but the small grass seed rolled directly into his collar and stuck to the inside of his collar, obviously doing so to avoid the wind.
Being a little itchy by her, Yu Chen moved his neck uncomfortably, and continued to rush up on his toes.
Although he had collected a lot of information about Qiuling Mayang when he was in Qiuling City, Yu Chen still felt a little powerless when he actually faced this huge mountain range.
The mountain is really too high! And the further up you go, the more difficult it becomes. He hadn't seen the top of the mountain yet, he could only climb up with his hands and feet like an ordinary person, and there were several times in the middle when he wanted to jump up with his spiritual power, but even if he used the law, he was almost swept away by the wind, and after several unsuccessful attempts, he could only move forward in such a conservative way, and he no longer dared to move at will.
This encounter reminded him of his previous experience in the ruins, but now it was even more difficult than that time, and even the laws did not work, which made him feel aggrieved from the bottom of his heart.
When the sky goes dark again. Yu Chen still didn't see the shadow of the top of the mountain, there was nothing else but thick clouds as far as the eye could see, no matter whether he looked up or down, it was the same scenery, it was boring.
Also because of the clouds. This time, Yu Chen didn't find a place to rest temporarily before dark, so he had to slow down the speed of the climb and rub it up little by little. Try to find a place where you can spend the night while it is safe to do so.
But the thick snow not only hindered his progress, but also obscured all the rock formations, and all he could see was white. Not to mention caves or crevices, not even a single exposed rock was to be seen.
He couldn't find a place to rest, but he had to find a place to hide before the wind really raged, lying on a thick piece of ice, Yu Chen was in a dilemma.
Although he had been hiding in Yu Chen's collar to wait for work, Li Qingyu had been paying attention to the surrounding situation with his divine thoughts, and naturally knew that if he couldn't find a place to stay, it was estimated that they would be in big trouble tonight, so he spent some spiritual power to transform into a human form, and lay next to Yu Chen on the narrow thick ice, moving towards the edge of the thick ice.
There were more people around him flashing, Yu Chen was startled, but he quickly recognized who she was, so he asked in surprise, "Why did you come out?" ”
Li Qingyu patted the thick ice under him with his hand, and replied while testing its sturdiness: "If I don't come out again, can you find a place to spend the night?" ”
"Can you find it?" Yu Chen didn't feel dissatisfied with Li Qingyu's words, and only had expectations for what she said.
"I can't help if you can't find me, but I can create a small space, fortunately, I only need to make a space that is enough for you, otherwise I really won't be able to start." As he spoke, Li Qingyu waved his right hand and tied a thick spirit vine around the thick ice, and the whole person pulled the spirit vine down and fell under the thick ice, disappearing from Yu Chen's sight.
Yu Chen, who saw her movements, was shocked, for fear that she would be blown away by accident, so she hurriedly said, "Be careful!" ”
"It's okay!" Li Qingyu's voice came from under the thick ice, and it sounded fine.
After about half a pillar of incense, Li Qingyu turned up from below again, panting, his face was slightly flushed, and he looked very tired.
"Okay, you pull this rattan down there, and it should be no problem for me to make it through tonight." After speaking, without waiting for Yu Chen to say anything, he turned into grass seeds and got into his collar again, and never moved again.
Knowing that because of Wei Li, Li Qingyu is doing anything now, and the consumption of physical and spiritual power is several times that of the past, coupled with the harsh surrounding environment, I don't know how much energy was consumed by that action just now, and Yu Chen didn't want to disturb her rest anymore, so he didn't say anything and pulled the spirit vine down the thick ice according to her instructions.
Under the thick ice, Li Qingyu used rattan plants to build something similar to a bird's nest with rattan plants in that small space, which looked very delicate and was firmly fixed under the thick ice. Next to the thick ice, Li Qingyu deliberately set aside a small opening for only one person to enter and exit, and the space inside is also very limited, there is more than one person, but it definitely can't squeeze two people.
Yu Chen squeezed into the "bird's nest" from that small opening, and then saw that the rattan at the small mouth began to grow, shrinking the small mouth to a size that was only enough for ventilation, becoming a perfect haven, and couldn't help but sigh.
Early the next morning, Yu Chen was awakened by the cracking sound of rattan.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the rattan that built the "bird's nest" had withered a lot, and two rattans in the vent were obviously frostbitten, and they were directly broken into several sections.
With a wave of his hand to expand the entrance a little, Yu Chen twisted his body and got out of the opening, reached out and grabbed the rattan above, and jumped onto the thick ice with a flip.
At this time, Yu Chen realized that the sun had actually risen high, and its shadow could be vaguely seen through the clouds, and he got up about half an hour later than yesterday morning.
Touching the collar and cuffs that did not move, Yu Chen looked up at the clouds above that were still thick, sighed and continued to climb up.
Maybe it's because the height is too high, and as he crawls, he finds that the clouds around him seem to be much lighter? Even the sun could shine directly on him.
Knowing that this was an omen that the top of the mountain was approaching, Yu Chen's mood was much better, and he slightly accelerated his speed of action and climbed upward.
An hour later, he finally saw the top of the mountain, which had been shadowless, and at the same time he was greeted by a cloudless blue sky and the sun hanging high in the sky, and the thick clouds had been trampled under his feet, giving him the illusion that he was about to touch the sky.
However, although he saw it, the top of the mountain still seemed a little far away, and the wind around him was even more manic than below, mixed with ice chips blowing on him, even with a spiritual shield, it was difficult to parry, and he had to slow down again to ensure his safety.
It is more difficult to rush with a clear goal than without a goal, because the top of the mountain is there, and it seems that he can reach it a little higher, but no matter how long he climbs, the distance does not seem to be shortened, and he has not yet climbed to the top of the mountain when it is getting dark again.
But fortunately, today he found a very satisfactory place to spend the night, this is a cave hidden in the ice crevice, the size is enough for five or six people to lie flat, so Li Qingyu turned into a human form and slept overnight, the pillow was changed into the original size of absinthe, the scene looked quite strange.
Yu Chen, whose enthusiasm was hit, slept directly the next day, and by the time they came out of the cave, it was already close to noon.
However, because there was not much left of the distance, Yu Chen only took an hour and a half to climb to the top of the mountain, which was only a few steps away.
Standing in this naturally formed col, he took a break and continued to the summit.
As long as they crossed this mountain range, they would have entered the realm of Soul Ridge!
With such anticipation, Yu Chen took the final step to the top of the mountain.
"Poof!" He fell limp on the small platform at the top of the hill where only two people could stand, and let the wind blow his gray hair in all directions.
Yu Chen looked at the endless snow-capped mountains in front of him with a dull gaze, and found that the mountain he had conquered was just the first step to cross the Autumn Season, and he didn't know how many mountains he had to climb to reach his destination if he wanted to climb the entire Autumn Season.
It was only then that he finally understood what he meant by the words "Autumn Orders are a whole mountain range" in a spiritual codex he had seen before, and before that, he had completely confused the concept of mountains and mountains!
"Can I go back......" Yu Chen knelt in place and muttered to himself, feeling that there was darkness in front of him-
