Chapter 367: A Shot at a Moment (I)

"It's finally a little lighter!" Grandpa Pandey finally climbed up, considering the factor of returning the same way, some rock plugs and ropes will be left on the cliff wall, in order to make Pandey Grandpa easier, give priority to the use of the materials in his backpack, and finally the Sherpa will recycle some rock plugs and master locks that are not very important to be fixed, so that they can be reused, Sherpa's figure is not suitable for rock climbing, Chen Badai's speed is indeed a little too fast, and Sherpa tried his best to barely keep up.

The next section is the highest cliff of the first platform, Wang Xingguo visually measured that it is about 150 meters high, although it is lower than the cliff where the monkey jumps off the cliff, but this is a high mountain, the oxygen content is reduced, and the cold wind will also affect the play of the action, Wang Xingguo moved his fingers and began to conquer this cliff.

Wang Xingguo is steady and steady, all the way up the rock is very smooth, this irregular stone wall is actually a lot of places where horses can barely climb up, occasionally some places need ropes and rock plugs, the stone wall on the plateau is relatively strong, the weathered rock is relatively less, but some places because of the temperature, more humid, some positions because of the shade, there will be a thin layer of ice, seeing Wang Xingguo climb very smoothly, in order to save time, Xia Ruobing decided not to wait for Wang Xingguo to completely do the line before going on, When Wang Xingguo climbed up about 70 meters, Xia Ruobing asked the rest of the people to climb the rope along the fixed point laid by Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai.

The sun gradually set in the west, the temperature began to drop, and the wind became stronger and stronger in the afternoon, Wang Xingguo's fingers were a little stiff, and he looked up at the heights, which was less than 20 meters away from the platform above.

"Light Dan'er, there are still 20 meters, come on!" Wang Xingguo stood on a stone, took a little rest, stuffed two rock plugs into a rock crevice, and hung two main locks, this will be the last important rest point, people will be more relaxed when resting, so special safety measures should be carried out here.

Chen Badai barely communicated with Wang Xingguo along the way, he silently followed Wang Xingguo about 5 meters behind him, reinforcing the rock plug left by Wang Xingguo, and when he heard Wang Xingguo call him, he looked up and said softly, "Hmm", even if he agreed.

"Huh......" suddenly a gust of wind blew, Wang Xingguo felt that people were going to be blown up, Chen Badai just hung the safety lock into a rock plug, this gust of wind came unexpectedly, Chen Badai couldn't keep his balance with one hand, his fingers fell off the rock, and his body fell down, but the safety lock just hung protected him, he hung under the rope, and his body was swinging with the wind.

Xia Ruobing and the others, who were dozens of meters below, also felt that something was wrong with this gust of wind, the wind was strong and continuous, and this was the first da encountered today

Troublesome, Xia Ruobing shouted: "Pay attention to the crosswind!" "Keep your body against the cliff and hold your hands firmly on the rocks.

"Huh?!" Pan Di has no experience in rock climbing, when he heard Xia Ruobing's warning, the wind had already blown over, he reacted half a beat slowly, just when he wanted to get close to the cliff, he felt that the wind blew his body back, Pan Di's position at this time was a little awkward, Wang Xingguo would lay down the rock plug every 5 meters along the way to make a fixed point, and then follow the rope, and the person who followed only needed to climb near the fixed point and hang the main lock into the rock plug to ensure safety, but Pan Di was still 2 meters away from the previous fixed point at this time, And the next anchorage point is more than 2 meters below him, and once he gets out of his hands, he will fall more than 5 meters away.

Although Pandey has 10 crashes experience, but the crash has never been experienced, Pandey glanced down, from here to the starting point is hundreds of meters high, if he falls, Pandey feels that he must not have a way to live, and the small rock plug can support his 90 kilograms of weight He is also deeply skeptical! He desperately clung to the small platform, but the heavy backpack behind him resisted his will with the help of the wind.

"Be careful!" Mr. Min was near Pandey, and when he saw Pandey swaying in the wind, he saw that he couldn't hold on, so he took a step from the side and pressed Pandey against the cliff.

With Mr. Min's help, Pandey finally managed to keep his balance, and he said thank you and pressed his body tightly against the cliff.

"You're welcome......" Mr. Min replied.

"I don't believe it if I kill it, the Loulan people and the Huns migrated from here!" Pandey listened to the whirring wind in his ears and felt that he had to say something to ease the tension in his heart.

"So 20 years ago, we chose to go from the East to find the treasure of Loulan." Mr. Min laughed and said that rock climbing is not dangerous as long as you maintain your balance.

"20 years ago?" Pandey turned his head and looked at Mr. Min.

Mr. Min knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly changed the topic: "Pandey, rock climbing is indeed not for you. ”

"Indeed...... I'm old, it's time to lose weight! Pandey complained.

I knew that I would not boast about going to Haikou in the first place, and said that I must accompany Tchaikov, otherwise I should have drunk raspberry wine comfortably by the fireplace of the fortress at this time, and maybe I could play a game of chess with General Gorge.

The Haikou that he boasted about was finished with tears in his eyes! Pandey now felt sore all over his body. After 3,500 meters above sea level, Pandey didn't feel anything at first, but after continuous climbing, Pandey finally felt that the air was a little insufficient, and in the whole team, even Dick climbed faster than himself.

This is something that Pandey cannot tolerate, Pandey can admit that he is weaker than anyone in the expedition, but he definitely cannot tolerate being incompetent than Dick! Pandy glanced up, Dick was not far above him, I don't know if it was because of the cold wind or fear, he saw Dick's feet trembling slightly, which finally made Pandey feel better.

"Dick, don't pee your pants and pour it on Grandpa Pandey!" Pandey shouted upwards.

"You old immortal, think about yourself!" Dick scolded back viciously.

Pandey was just about to reply, when he suddenly heard a terrible warning voice from above: "Falling rocks!" ”

When everyone looked up, they were stunned to see a huge boulder falling at high speed like a dark cloud, bouncing on the cliff wall, followed by countless stones of different sizes.

But at this time, everyone had nowhere to hide, seeing that the stones were like cannonballs falling down on them, they could only find cover nearby, Sherpa saw that there was a rock shed nearby, and quickly shrank his body, using this small rock shed to cover it, Mr. Min was quick to move, and pulled Pandey aside, and a stone passed by Pandey, which scared Pandey into a cold sweat.

Dick and Tchaikov were not far apart, and Tchaikov saw that there was a small cave next to him, and he couldn't care about so much, so he kicked Dick into it, and then his huge body was stuffed into this hole!

Xia Ruobing raised her head when she heard Chen Badai's warning, the largest stone was smashed into two pieces on a platform, one of which fell towards herself, and there was no place to hide near her, Xia Ruobing remembered that there was a small stone crack under her, where was her last hope for survival, she let go of her hand and fell down the mountain, and then grabbed the stone on the stone crack with her hand, she felt a darkness above her head, how could she have time to think about it at this time, Xia Ruobing hid her body on one side, and just retracted her hand, Shrouded in darkness in front of him, Xia Ruobing was terrified, if it was 0.1 seconds late, Xia Ruobing would fall into the bottomless abyss with this boulder.

This is a stone falling from a higher place, in the summer when the snow slowly melts and seeps into the stone, the stone will expand, but the temperature difference between day and night here is too large, under the effect of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the mountain stone will gradually crack and become an unstable state, Wang Xingguo was just about to sprint the last 20 meters, suddenly a rock shed at a higher place fell without warning, except for the alarm he had no time to do anything else.

After a long time, the rockfall finally fell clean, and there was a huge sound of falling rocks at the bottom of the canyon, Wang Xingguo checked it, and there was no new danger of falling rocks for the time being, so he had to count the number of people quickly.

"How are you guys? Has anyone been hurt? Wang Xingguo looked down, but he couldn't see all the people clearly, just now Chen Badai shrank into a stone crack as soon as he heard the alarm, he stretched out his hand in the stone crack and beckoned, it seemed that he was fine.

"I'm fine!" Sherpa was the first to answer.

Pandy grabbed the rope with one hand and Mr. Min with the other, and before he could come back to his senses, Mr. Min reacted first and shouted, "Pandy and I are fine." ”

"Dick is alive too." It was really dangerous just now, and the falling stone almost hit Tchaikov, but it was also a thrill.

"Ruobing, how are you?" Wang Xingguo didn't hear Xia Ruobing's answer, and asked loudly.

Xia Ruobing shrank sideways in the rock crevice, she felt a kind of fear in this small space at this time, Xia Ruobing has always had a shadow on the small space, when she was in the coffin mountain, she almost collapsed because of claustrophobia several times, after several expeditions with Wang Xingguo, she felt that she had overcome, but at the moment when the stone fell and the shadow shrouded, Xia Ruobing suddenly felt an invisible force pinching her heart again, Xia Ruobing pressed tightly against the stone crevice, her body was trembling, An uncontrollable fear rose from within, and she couldn't move.

"Ruobing...... How are you? Wang Xingguo asked again, but he couldn't see Xia Ruobing's situation here at all.

"Xia Ruobing!" Wang Xingguo felt that something was wrong, he tried hard to probe to look, and only saw Xia Ruobing's rope hanging in the air, swinging with the wind, but he couldn't see Xia Ruobing's figure.

"Ruobing! What happened to you? Sherpa was in a hurry, Xia Ruobing was above her, but because of the rocks, he couldn't see Xia Ruobing's specific location.
