The ice hill is not smooth, under the influence of the cold and the terrain, there are irregular cracks on the ice hill, some places seem to be flat under the feet, but in fact there are hidden ice cracks, Chen Badai has to be very careful with every step, a thin layer of snow covers the trap under his feet, it is possible that an ice axe chisels it, the ice will crack.

But Chen Badai did a good job along the way, he used ropes and pitons to lay a zigzag line on the ice hill, like a huge folding ruler, winding up the ice hill.

"Huh......" Chen Badai almost climbed to the top of the ice hill, this is a gourd-like terrain, and then there is a narrow mouth above, Chen Badai looked up, this is the best place to make avalanches, the snow at the higher places does not melt for many years, like the water blocking the upper reaches of the dammed lake, if there is any shaking that destroys this delicate balance, they will pour down from the hillside, washing everything on the ice hill clean!

Chen Badai looked back at the team behind him, Pandey's group had already surpassed Mr. Min's group, and they had almost climbed half the way.

Chen Badai took a sip of water, the water in the thermos kettle was already cold, and the temperature was already more than 20 degrees below zero, and it wouldn't be long before the kettle on his waist would freeze into ice cubes.

Mr. Min looked very strange after climbing the ice hill, he brushed the snow off the ice with his hands every time he climbed a step, his eyes seemed to be eager to find something, trying to look down the ice, his movements seriously slowed down the speed of the group, Pandey was very unsuitable for such ice climbing, he hunched his waist, panting with one hand to pull the laid rope, the other hand with the ice axe to dig a small pit on the ice, trying to pull his 90 kilograms of weight, almost like a worm on the ice slope move.

Compared with Pandy, Dick is much more professional on this ice mountain, he follows closely behind Tchaikov, and his speed is not inferior at all, which makes Tchaikov impressed, it seems that he really underestimated Dick, and the blood of Loulan in his body made him support at the critical moment.

Tchaikov looked up at the rest of the way, Chen Badai was resting on the mouth of the gourd, and beyond that was a mountain canyon, and continuing up along the canyon, it should be the place where the high priest said that the king of Loulan summoned the undead warriors when he was defeated—well, if that were the case, the scepter would be in some cave nearby......

Tchaikov paused for a moment and looked at the altimeter on his watch, the altitude here was already more than 5,000, and he really couldn't imagine how the people of Loulan climbed here and found their way to the west from here.

Dick saw Tchaikov stop, he also stopped, supporting his body with an ice axe, panting, his eyes behind his sunglasses were already full of stars, and he was holding his breath to keep up with Tchaikov's speed.

Tchaikov took out a small wine jug from the pocket of his underwear, kept the wine in the jug warm with his body temperature, unscrewed the lid of the jug, Tchaikov took a sip beautifully, and squinted at Dick who was panting: "Do you want to take a sip?" ”

Dick's throat was about to smoke, and his thick-gloved hands tried to untie the kettle around his waist without success, and when he saw Tchaikov handing him the jug, even if it contained poison, Dick wanted to take a sip and moisten his throat.

Dick felt a little burdensome with the rope of the ice axe hanging from his wrist, and he took off the rope and chiseled it hard into the snow, so that he could free his hand to catch Tchaikov's flask.

"Quack...... There was a strange noise on the ice beneath his feet.

"Dick, what did you do?" Tchaikov asked.

"How the do I know?" Dick took the flask and took a sip of vodka, his throat moistened, but then the spicy vodka slashed through his throat like a knife, rushed through his esophagus, and turned his stomach upside down!

Dick frowned, this vodka was really a drink that only a crude person drinks, and he tried his best to endure the discomfort of the vodka poured into his stomach, so that he did not lose face in front of Tchaikov.

"Ahaha! Dick, it seems that your delicate stomach is not compatible with my vodka! Tchaikov was amused to see Dick's distorted face, and took another sip after taking the flask.

"It's not a good habit to drink in the mountains." Dick took out the major.

Tchaikov didn't care what his profession was, the Alpine Prohibition and the like, his first concern was how he would survive in the mountains without vodka.

Seeing that Grandpa Pandi was about to be tortured by Bingsaka and had half his life left, Wang Xingguo left the group and went to help Pandy with Sherpas, Wang Xingguo regrouped with them, and started to open a better branch line near the route opened by Chen Badai, Grandpa Pandi felt that his throat and eyes were blocked as if they were filled with cement, even if he tried to grow his mouth, he couldn't breathe in enough air, and the crampons under his feet seemed to be making trouble for him, and he stumbled many times and almost tripped himself.

"Hey! Pandey! You can't lose to Dick Kid! Seeing Pandy's embarrassment, Tchaikov picked up the walkie-talkie and said to him.

"Huh? I'm fucking old......" Pandey struggled to raise his head, his waist was almost straight, if it weren't for Wang Xingguo pulling him with a knot rope in front and Sherpa pushing in the back, he would have wanted to lie here and not move......

Finally, with the help of the two, Pandy climbed to the position next to Tchaikov, as soon as he turned over and lay on the snow, the breath in his throat had already changed his tune, and after a while, Pandy said: "Tchaikov, I will resign and retire when I go down the mountain!" ”

"No problem, old fellow!" Tchaikov laughed and handed the flask to Pandey.

With the addition of vodka, Pandy finally recovered a little faster, he sat up and looked down, Xia Ruobing and Mr. Min had just climbed to the halfway point.

Seeing that most of the people were about to reach the top of Bingsaka, Chen Badai had rested enough, so he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Wang Xingguo, let Xia Ruobing and Mr. Min hurry up, and I will continue to explore the way." ”

Without waiting for Wang Xingguo to answer, Chen Badai left the resting position and continued to go up, preparing to pass through the gourd mouth.

There was a large amount of snow above the mouth of the gourd, and Chen Badai considered whether to take the risk of opening a line from this snow, or another line from the side, but if he opened another line to avoid the danger of avalanches, he had to climb up from the cliff next to him, which was not a simple matter.

"Mr. Min, we need to speed up." Xia Ruobing heard Chen Badai's words on the walkie-talkie and urged Mr. Min.

Mr. Min bent down and brushed off the thin layer of snow on the ice hill with his hand, the ice here is dark blue, proving that there is an ice crack underneath, forming an ice crack that has been formed for tens of thousands of years Under the influence of gravity, sunlight and crustal movement, the interior has been fractured, forming large and small labyrinth-like cracks, some of which are tens of meters or even hundreds of meters deep, and some are only shallow to cut a crack on the ice.

Mr. Min didn't answer, Xia Ruobing was very strange, and asked again, "What are you looking for?" ”

"One man...... I know she's right here......" Mr. Min muttered to himself, his face solemn.

Xia Ruobing saw that the ice surface that Mr. Min brushed was dark blue, and reminded: "We are standing on the ice crack. ”

"How can there be no traces...... It's been 20 years...... Something has to be left......" Mr. Min still muttered to himself.

"Mr. Min, we need to get out of here!" Xia Ruobing pushed Mr. Min, and she felt a trace of bad premonition.

"Hey! Little angels! Min! You need to hurry! Or we'll have to spend the night here! Grandpa Pandey finally relented, and he folded his hands and shouted at the two men on the ice hill.

Chen Badai's face changed, this is an avalanche-prone point, any little vibration may destroy the balance of the snow, he scolded Pan Dey in his heart for being unprofessional, and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Don't scream!" ”

Where would Grandpa Pandey have thought so much, for him, the avalanche was only seen on TV, and it was too far away from him in reality.

"Yo-hoo! You can't be weaker than my old bones! Pandey saw the mountains, the blue sky, and sure enough, the infinite scenery was on the dangerous peak, and he stood up and shouted at the mountains, shouting out all the fatigue of his body.

Pan Di was relieved now, his breath was not panting, his throat was not dry, and his legs were not tired, but Chen Badai felt a trace of fear, and Wang Xingguo was also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Pan Di from shouting loudly.

"Hey? What's wrong? Pandey was still a little strange, he seemed to feel a little trembling under his feet.

Chen Badai raised his head in horror, he saw that several pieces of snow had rolled down on the edge of the rock wall at the mouth of the gourd, and those snow blocks were weakly pushed down from the edge of the cliff at the mouth of the gourd, and then fell at Chen Badai's feet, smashed to pieces, and there were faint bursts of rolling thunder from a distance, and then more and more snow blocks fell.

"Avalanche! Avalanche! Find cover! Chen Badai's face changed drastically, and he confirmed that he heard the sound of an avalanche in the distance!

"Avalanche?!" Pandey hasn't reacted yet.

"Avalanche! Avalanche! Ruo Bing! Find cover! Wang Xingguo also felt the vibration under his feet, and the thunderous sound became clearer and clearer, and he called the police loudly, but Xia Ruobing and they were on the open ice mountain, where was there cover?
