After a night's work, Cheng Tianle walked through the plateau basin and the ten-mile-long magical passage to the exit at the other end, and he saw the unique wonder of the Himalayas-the ice tower. In front of it is a landscape completely formed by ice and snow, magnificent and colorful, those huge ice blocks such as hills, such as castles, such as towers, such as sharp blades, ranging from a few meters high to more than ten zhang high, crystal clear, showing light red in the sunrise glow.

Many of the ice surfaces also have circular ablation craters, which resemble small lakes. Some of the ice towers are hollow, and there are also fissures and rivers that melt the ice water, and you can see through the transparent ice, and even the flowing dark river. In this huge ice and snow world, there are many huge ice caves, ice curtains, ice stalactites, and icicles, which are like naturally formed ice sculptures and a magnificent crystal palace.

Although the temperature on the plateau in the low latitude zone is extremely low, the sunlight radiation is also very strong, and the surface of the ice and snow under the sun will melt, confluence to this relatively low valley mouth, and then condense at low temperatures, forming such a peculiar landscape.

Zi Hao frowned and said, "Senior brother, it's too dangerous to walk here at night, we'd better go there during the day." ”

Cheng Tianle also frowned and nodded: "Yes, it's best to pass through during the day, then let's go directly." ”

Although the wonders of the ice tower are magnificent, they are also very dangerous, the meltwater between the ice towers has a strong ability to erode and cut down, leaving various cracks in the ice, and there are many undercurrents under the ice surface, which can slide into the transparent and beautiful abyss if you are not careful. If someone sets up an ambush here to attack, they don't need to attack Cheng Tianle directly, they only need to cause an ice avalanche nearby and bury him in it.

At night, it is impossible to see the movement around you clearly, and the dense ice tower can not only refract light and shadow, but even hinder the divine sense. Therefore, from a safety point of view, it is only best to travel every day, even if their whereabouts are exposed, they can't take care of it, not to mention that no one may be monitoring them, Cheng Tianle is just out of caution when he travels at night.

Zi Hao turned into an invisible and opened the way ahead, floating among the ice towers to guide Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle carried the green silk and whisked the dust, and carefully followed behind, avoiding the weak, steep, and broken places on the ice surface. He didn't bring any other equipment, the dust could be transformed into ten thousand flying wires several zhang long, and the monk's magic weapon was better than any kind of professional equipment. The sun is rising. The red light reflected by the ice tower faded away, revealing a mysterious, faintly flowing blue.

The ice surface refracts and reflects countless fragments of light and shadow, as if walking into a phantom array, where it is easy to get lost. This ice tower forest extends from the glaciers on the high mountains on both sides, and is just over a kilometer wide at the mouth of the valley. Cheng Tianle took a long time to come out. Looking further ahead, there is a plateau basin surrounded by snowy peaks, with a radius of 100 miles!

At the lowest point near the center of the basin, there is a large lake formed by the melting of the snow, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and around the shore of the lake is a circle of gravel beaches, beyond which is a wooded primeval jungle. Cheng Tianle also saw wild beasts drinking water by the lake from a distance. On the other side of the lake, in a valley under the snowy peaks, is where the Thunder Gold is produced.

From the edge of the ice tower, bypass the great lake and reach the valley of the mountain col. It is also necessary to walk nearly 100 miles, and you can imagine how huge this isolated "heavenly basin" is, but it is difficult to see its face on satellite images. Due to the topography, winds blowing from the south are blocked by the mountains and form cyclones in this generation. There are always clouds covering the sky above the lake, like a canopy, sometimes large and sometimes small. Sunlight can be slanted from the side onto the surface of the lake, creating a faint mist of transpiration.

Zi Hao sighed: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there is such a hidden beauty between heaven and earth. ”

Sheng Long stuck out his tongue and said, "It's really not easy to enjoy the scenery here." ”

Cheng Tianle waved his hand: "Let's go, since I haven't rested during the day, I want to find a safe campsite before dark." The scenery here looks beautiful, but it is very weird. ”

Zi Hao pointed to a group of big birds that flew down to the lake in the distance and said, "Cheng Zong, look, is that an eagle, how can there be so many?" ”

Cheng Tianle's eyes were much better than Zi Hao's, and he shook his head and said, "That's not an eagle, it's a vulture on the plateau, tearing the corpse of some animal." ”

Around this vast basin, the mountain peaks are all above the snow line, some peaks are more than 7,000 meters high, hanging glaciers are steep and unclimbable, but the terrain at the foot of the mountain is gradually gentle, to the lowest point in the center of the basin on the lake surface, the altitude is only more than 3,000 meters. Depending on the height, there are different vegetation along the slopes of the mountain, and there are also various wild animals that move here, such as Tibetan antelope, snow leopard, yak, vulture...... Cheng Tianle even saw a bear.

In the vast jungle, there are streams made of snow, and in addition to the large lake, there are large and small pools in the fields, where all kinds of fish grow, and the summer is the most vibrant time here. Cheng Tianle does not know how many such vibrant basins there are in the depths of the Himalayas due to the difference in terrain and the cutting of the mountains, but the scale here is undoubtedly very large.

Instead of crossing unfamiliar jungles, they still walked along the foot of the snowy peaks at the edge of the basin, where avalanches were unlikely to occur this season, and they simply avoided the melting glaciers. When it was close to dusk, the clouds hanging over the basin showed the color of fire, and Zi Hao suddenly shouted: "Cheng Zong, look, the clouds are moving!" ”

The clouds in the sky are never static, so why would Zi Hao make such a fuss? Because the clouds were moving so strangely, and the speed in the sky was too fast, they were rotating, accumulating, and thickening at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and countless flag-like clouds were scattered from the edges, and layers of white waves were lapping on the shore of the lake in the distance. The beasts that drank by the lake had already burrowed into the jungle, and even the vultures that were competing for food had flown to hide.

The birds and beasts that live here have an instinctive reaction to the dangers of nature, and Cheng Tianle, who has achieved great demon cultivation, can naturally sense a violent aura between heaven and earth. He said, "Hurry up, find a cave to hide, the wind is about to rise." ”

They were right through a meadow-covered hillside, and it was too late to descend into the jungle in the distance, and there was still some distance to reach the cliff. The weather in this plateau basin is very strange, it was quiet just now, the whirlpool on the lake in the distance has just appeared, and it didn't take long for Cheng Tianle's clothes to be blown away. The breeze was followed by a strong wind.

How can a basin surrounded by mountains be windy? Because the terrain around this area is too different, and the temperature difference along the slope is also very large, when the sun sets and the temperature drops, it will lead to a strong convection of the air, which is raging and circling in this basin, and even more violent at the edge. The wind blows from side to side, and some whirl against the hillside, and what is even more bizarre is that it flies up and down according to the mountain.

Cheng Tianle walked not far towards the cliff area on the grassy slope, and in front of him was a white expanse, a mist formed by the cold wind blowing from a high place to cool down, and the snow on the mountain was flying. I could hear the sound of gravel rolling down from a high place, and if I accidentally hit a piece of gravel on my body, it was like a bullet, and it was more difficult to dodge than any hidden weapon in the world.

Fortunately, Cheng Tianle has a copper tendon and iron bones, and he is also wearing a tough warm suit, Sheng Long is hiding in his left sleeve, and Zi Hao has been retracted into the Quchi cave in his right hand. Cheng Tianle held the green silk whisk dust in his right hand, occasionally waved his hand to roll away the large gravel that was blown down by the strong wind, and walked towards the cliff step by step with the magic method. The higher you go, the more snow particles are swept in the wind, mixed with sharp crushed ice ballast.

Zi Hao suddenly shouted again: "Be careful, there is an attack!" ”

This strange storm is very dangerous, but at the same time, it is also the best cover, that is, only cultivation like Cheng Tianle can move forward steadily, and ordinary monks can't even stand on their feet, who can do anything sneak attack? But with Zi Hao's call, the wind and snow in front of him suddenly condensed into a strange giant palm shape, and he grabbed it towards Cheng Tianle.

Cheng Tianle waved the dust, and Wandao Qingsi greeted him, flashing with crackling electric light, shattering the giant palm condensed by the wind and snow, and the sound of mana agitation was like cracking a stone. This is not an ordinary sneak attack, but a fighting method in the storm, Cheng Tianle has already sensed the fluctuations of the other party's aura, it is not a human cultivator, but it is not any kind of demon cultivator he can distinguish.

The sneak attacker missed, and then there was a strange roar, and the wind around Cheng Tianle suddenly became stronger. He was already standing in the wind, but the other party seemed to know this kind of wind very well, and cast a spell to roll up all kinds of messy wind whirlwinds, and the wind was also mixed with transparent wind blades and sharp ice crystals that condensed instantly, not only to sweep away Cheng Tianle's figure, but also to stab him with thousands of holes.

Cheng Tianle had already sensed the other party's position, and was about to force the other party to approach through the wind and snow, but at this moment, he had to use his mana to fix his body, and the roots under his feet seemed to be integrated with this hillside. He had already sensed that the other party's mana was inferior to him, and the cultivation realm was even worse than him, but this demon's natural power made it difficult for Cheng Tianle to fight back for a while.

The other party is running the wind between heaven and earth, but a force has been added to Cheng Tianle's close body, with the help of the wind with mana, to make the attack more violent, Cheng Tianle is not only fighting with this demon, but also fighting the plateau wind and snow that is manipulated by the other party. The feet took root and did not move, ten thousand green silks rolled up, shattering those wind blades and ice crystals, and there was a roar from the depths of the white wind and snow, obviously it was also shocked and angry, how could it not deal with a strange human who broke into this place with such a powerful means?

Cheng Tianle's flying stone flew out of his wrist, spun in the direction from which the sound came from and shot into the snowstorm, and finally launched a counterattack. (To be continued)
