As the captain of the Everest mountaineering expedition team, Ning Pingping has been at the foot of Mount Everest for many days, and has been looking for a suitable weather to lead the team members to conquer the roof of the world.

Looking at Zhao Qi who was walking over from a distance, Ning Pingping's expression was very weird.

"Xiao Zhu, come and have a look." Greeting the young man who was tinkering with the equipment on the side, Ning Pingping pointed to Zhao Qi's figure and said.

"Who is this? How did you get here? Xiao Zhu was also puzzled. Although Mount Everest is famous, due to its high altitude, there is no one living nearby, and the annual climbing team hardly touches each other, and it is even rarer for this person to be alone.

As the figure in front of them slowly walked over, the two realized that it was not only a person, but also a small animal.

"Snow mastiff?" Ning Pingping, who had seen this little thing carefully, exclaimed in surprise. Tibetan mastiffs are not uncommon in Tibet, but snow mastiffs are different. He was even more curious about the unknown person in front of him.

"Hello." Zhao Qi raised his hand to greet him from afar, but the embarrassment was that nearly five or six people on the other side looked at him with strange expressions, and none of them responded.

"Huh?" Zhao Qi touched the middle-aged man he had conjured up suspiciously, and when he looked at his clothes, he suddenly smiled bitterly. In this cold place, five or six people on the opposite side were all dressed in thick mountaineering clothes like Eskimos, and the whole person was bloated as if their hands and feet could not be put together. On the other hand, Zhao Qi, although he is not as exaggerated as his undershirt and shorts, he is not wearing much, which is simply ...... It's like coming out to play.

However, at this time, the two parties had already met, and Zhao Qi was not good at dressing anymore, so he could only make the wrong mistake.

"Hello." Zhao Qi stretched out his right hand to the middle-aged man in the lead.

"Oh, hello." Ning Pingping, who was stunned, came back to his senses when he heard Zhao Qi speak, and hurriedly raised his right hand to hold Zhao Qi.

"Excuse me, I want to ask which peak Mount Everest is, there are so many of them." Zhao Qi scratched his head embarrassedly and said.

"That's the one." Although Ning Pingping felt very strange about Zhao Qi's dress, he still warmly replied to Zhao Qi's words, maybe in his mind, Zhao Qi just thought that he wanted to come and see the tourists who wanted to see the world's highest peak.

"Oh, that's the one, thank you." Zhao Qi, who got the answer, was not in a hurry and set off immediately, so he chatted with a few people.

……

"Mr. Zhao, you're not kidding, are you?" Ning Pingping looked at Zhao Qi with a calm face in shock, and called him crazy in his heart.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong?" Anyway, it was not his true face, and Zhao Qi didn't care about the shock of the group of people in front of him, and directly stated the purpose of this time.

"Mr. Zhao, seeing that you are wearing so little, I believe that your ability to resist cold should be good, but this is only at the foot of Mount Everest, and the temperature on the mountain is very different from the foot of the mountain. The lowest temperature can reach minus 60 degrees Celsius. You have to go up like this......" Ning Pingping's words did not speak, but the meaning was already obvious, that is, you are looking for death.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't freeze to death with rough skin and thick flesh, and besides, I'm not a fool, if I really can't climb up, I'll still come down, don't worry." Zhao Qi waved his hand indifferently.

"Mr. Zhao, is it a snow mastiff?" Xiao Zhu on the side looked at the basketball squatting at Zhao Qi's feet and asked.

"Well, it's a purebred snow mastiff."

"Purebred! Mr. Zhao, where did you get it? As soon as he heard Zhao Qi's words, Xiao Zhu suddenly exclaimed. A purebred Tibetan mastiff can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, not to mention a rare snow mastiff.

"It's from a friend." Gently touching the body of the basketball, Zhao Qi thought of his mother again, and was in a trance for a while.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't know...... I don't know......" Xiao Zhu didn't know how to speak, and Zhao Qi knew what he meant as soon as he saw his expression.

"It was entrusted to me by a friend." changed the delivery to entrustment, and Zhao Qi's meaning was also very clear. Xiao Zhu smiled when he heard this, and didn't ask any more.

"Mr. Zhao, our scientific expedition team is also looking for a good time to climb the mountain these days, if you want to climb the mountain, you might as well join us and take care of each other." Ning Pingping said.

"Thank you, Brother Ning, but forget it. You also have a mission, and it's always a little inconvenient to take me with you. Zhao Qi rejected Ning Pingping's opinion with a smile, and after chatting a few more words, he left with the basketball. Although Xiao Zhu didn't say anything, he looked at the basketball with a very sorry look.

"Hey, purebred snow mastiff, why can't I meet one? And this person is going to hike the mountain, isn't this looking for death? ”

"Without further ado, have you ever seen someone like this? Can you be a simple person who has the courage to hike Mount Everest alone? Ning Pingping glared at Xiao Zhu, who sighed beside him, and turned around to study the weather again.

……

The snow-capped mountain that Ning Pingping was referring to looked much farther away from where Zhao Qi was, but when he walked up, he knew that it was a rather exaggerated distance.

"I don't believe I can't go." Holding back the psychology of flying straight with a flying sword, Zhao Qi walked forward step by step. As the altitude gets higher and higher, the temperature slowly drops, especially at night, when the temperature drops to a terrible low temperature. However, Zhao Qi has an aura in his body, even if he is stripped naked and lying in the snow, he will not feel any discomfort. As for basketball, the bouncing seems to be more excited than Zhao Qi. I don't know if it's a genetic problem or the effect of the elixir is too powerful.

"Whew~" The overexcited basketball will come to the throat from time to time, if the voice is not too small, I don't know how many avalanches have been.

"How many times have I told you? If you dare to scream again, I'll shut your mouth. As soon as he grabbed the basketball, Zhao Qi slapped his ass a few times, and he looked at Zhao Qi pitifully and whined twice.

"Fortunately, there is no little girl around here, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to die cutely." The little snow mastiff of more than a month is a little too cute, snow-white, like a hairball, and Zhao Qi also holds it in his arms from time to time and rubs it well.

There are also a lot of peaks in a straight line from Mount Everest, if you want to go around it, it will take a lot of time, Zhao Qi will follow a straight line, and when you encounter the peaks, you will directly turn over, which will save a lot of time.

"Huh? What is that? Zhao Qi, who had been walking for nearly a day, suddenly saw the crystal clear on the cliff in front of him, emitting a dazzling light under the refraction of the sun, and hurriedly strode forward. And the basketball that followed behind Zhao Qi saw that the owner ran quickly, and he also followed.

Arriving at the bottom of the cliff, Zhao Qi looked around for a week, and as soon as his feet were forced, only two shallow footprints were left on the ground, and the whole person swayed up and climbed the cliff.

"Alpine Snow Lotus, it's a pity that it's only ten years. But it's also a top-notch medicinal material, so take it back and make tea for your parents. "The appearance of the snow lotus is not as white as everyone imagined, its petals are blue, and the stems are green, like a chrysanthemum blooming in the snowy mountains.

"Huh? Has anyone picked it? "There are five snow lotus flower stems, but the fruits of three of them have been removed, leaving only two snow lotus fruits untouched.

"Who could it be?" Zhao Qi carefully observed the surroundings. The visibility on this road is very far, basically the people and things running on the snow mountain can't escape Zhao Qi's gaze, and there are no human footprints found in this vicinity.

There are no human footprints, but it does not mean that there are no animal footprints, just below the cliff, there are many animal footprints next to the two shallow footprints that Zhao Qi just jumped up. Thinking of this, Zhao Qi jumped down again after uprooting the five snow lotus flowers and putting them in his sleeve.

"You're a bear kid, you're going to make trouble." After going down, Zhao Qi looked at the mess that had been ruined by basketball, and said angrily.

After a careful search, I finally found a few relatively well-preserved footprints not far away.

"This ...... It can't be the legendary snow monster, right? After carefully studying the footprints in front of him, Zhao Qi said.

The footprints in front of him are not ordinary beast footprints, more like human footprints, which can be seen from the obvious five toes and slender footboards, but the five toes are a little longer than ordinary people, and this footboard is also a little too big, according to the human shoe size, how can there be a fifty or sixty yards. The most important point is that humans will not walk barefoot on this snow-capped mountain with extremely low temperatures. This couldn't help but remind Zhao Qi of the legend of the snow monster that has been passed down in the Himalayas for a long time.

Legend has it that in the Himalayas of Nepal lived a 3-meter-tall, half-human, half-ape snow monster, which is said to be extremely powerful, walking like a fly in the forest and in the snow, walking upright on weekdays, but crawling and running when attacked. Some Indians who lived in the foothills of the Himalayas claimed to have seen the legendary giant snow monster and picked up the fur of the snow monster. After a comparison by scientists, it was found that the hair was completely absent from the locally known animals, and the authenticity of this mysterious creature was greatly improved. In September 2007, an American photographer accidentally photographed this strange creature, which was hairy and walked on all fours, causing a global sensation. Another team found three footprints on the sand on the bank of the Manju River, one of which was about 33 centimeters long and particularly clear.

In his previous life, he had enough interest in this mysterious creature, and now that he has the opportunity to find out, Zhao Qi will not give up. After carefully identifying the direction of the footprints, he beckoned the basketball, and set off with one man and one mastiff.
