The next day, the weather cleared, and the sun rising from the east reflected a golden light over the snow-capped peaks of the Karakoram Mountains and on the vast glaciers beneath the pass.

"Close your eyes, one by one, don't look at the ice, and don't stare at it."

The long sled team was ready, and Liu Ji stood in front of the team, checking their outfits one by one, and saw a curious person with wide eyes wrapping his head and face with a piece of linen cloth with his own hands.

Snow marching, in addition to the cold, snow blindness is also a fatal factor, there are no sunglasses available, he can only use the most primitive method, using that kind of burlap, as an eye covering, from a grid of gaps, can roughly see the direction.

Hispa Pass, is a mountain covered by ice, the altitude from about 2,000 meters, gradually rising to more than 4,000 meters, the slope is not very steep, but the ice and snow road is slippery, and pulling the sled, if you are not careful, you will slide down, and the end will not be much better than the snow wolf.

As when he first set off, Liu Ji walked at the front of the line with a spear as a support, and in the other hand, holding the ice axe, walked at the front of the line, and a sled was pulled by a rope on his shoulder, on which was piled with a pile of furs, and in the fur lay a wounded man who could not walk.

Their group, from fifty at the time of departure, had been reduced to thirty-two, and the sleds had also been reduced to sixteen, still two people dragging one, and in order to reduce the weight, they discarded the superfluous things except the necessary things, such as the iron kettle for cooking and so on.

"Boom!"

Liu Ji knocked a pickaxe on the ice, the sharp tip was deeply embedded in it, and the steel teeth at the back amplified the bite force, with this force, he struggled forward, with carved wooden boots stepped out of a shallow snow pit, the sled made two marks on the ice, and was dragged up by him little by little.

The bearer of the flag, who was following behind, did not raise the flag at the moment, and piled the back of the sled with both hands, helping him to save some effort, and the two were connected by ropes, and then connected to the sergeant behind him.

"The back sees clearly, don't step on the deviation, take your time one by one, if there are people who can't borrow strength, don't be reluctant, shout."

These words were passed back one by one, and when they reached Zhang Wuprice's ears, he subconsciously turned around, and there was no one left.

This time, he was not reckless, as the person who pressed the formation, he walked at the end, the sergeant in front pulled the sled, and he pushed his head behind, and the ice nest under his feet had been trampled by more than 30 people in front, and he had to use a little foot force to step on it so as not to slide down.

The higher you climb, the less you can borrow, at this time, the stainless steel ice axe in your hand plays a key role, according to Liu Ji's requirements, you must hang a person without falling, for the material, it is already the highest in this era, after verification, it can barely reach the standard, but how long it can be used, only God knows.

Steel is also fatigued.

The drop of more than 1,000 meters, and from low altitude to high altitude, people who are not suitable for it can easily lead to symptoms such as heart stuffiness and poor breathing.

"Yikes!"

There was a strange cry in the air, and he didn't have to look up, Liu Ji could also hear that it was a kind of alpine vulture circling, the scientific name is "Indian vulture", which specializes in eating small and medium-sized animals, as well as carrion, it must be the carcass of those wild wolves that attracted their attention, at this time he didn't care to analyze the threat of these high-altitude hunters to this team, and the rope on his body suddenly tightened.

There was a soft "snap", and a rope in the middle of the team broke somehow, and the sergeant who was pushing a sled behind him was caught off guard, and suddenly fell down, and the ice axe in his hand did not hold it, and flew out. The sled behind him was struggling to pull the sled, and he was hit by his body like this, and he suddenly couldn't stand, so that the sled behind him suddenly pressed on the shoulder of the partner behind him, and it was about to turn into a chain reaction.

"Abandon the car, abandon the car!"

Zhang Wuprice's voice and Liu Ji sounded at the same time, and the most out of control at the moment were the two sleds, as long as they got rid of it, people could always pull it up.

The sergeant who broke the rope reacted first, untied the rope on his shoulder, and wanted to swing the sled at an angle with one hand to avoid the companion below, but he didn't expect the angle to be too small, and when the sled fell, it still hit the sergeant who stumbled first, and this time, the bottom half of the whole team was messed up.

A fully loaded sled, along with a human body, slid down the sloped ice, no different from a boulder, and seeing that it was not good, the sergeant who had lost his footing threw himself to the side, and at the same time pounced on the sled, he himself left the group and rolled down with a half-truncated rope.

The danger was not lifted, and his slip caused his companion behind him to be vigorously pulled, and the whole team was about to be carried down the high slope.

At the critical moment, he once again showed the battlefield reaction of a veteran of a hundred battles, pulled out his horizontal knife with his backhand, cut the rope without hesitation, and his body that lost its clamp suddenly fell like a free fall.

"Catch him!"

Zhang Wuxuan, who was at the end of the team, shouted loudly, but the people in the team were already burdened, if he rashly reached out to pull, it was likely to become the way before, he saw that it was not good, and immediately broke the rope around his waist.

"Pull the car, and let go if you can't pull it."

After that, he let go of the sled, reached out and took the two ice axes inserted in his waist into his hands, in addition to his own, there was also one of Lao Wu's.

Seeing the falling figure, Zhang Wuxuan took a deep breath, his feet sank, and the wooden soles of his high leather boots suddenly pressed the ice surface, stepping the originally shallow ice nest out of a deep pit at once, and the entire foot surface was sunk in.

At this moment, the sergeant had already slipped to his side, Zhang Wuxian had to shout "ah", his right hand quickly swung out, and the sharp blade of the ice axe made of stainless steel accurately slashed the leather robe on the sergeant's body, and at the same time broke through the ice, stopping the fall of his body in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the ice axe in his left hand also smashed on the ice above his head, and with the two forces of his hands and the soles of his feet, he finally stabilized both of them, but although the person was stable, neither of them could move.

"Grab so-and-so's hand and hold the pickaxe."

The old man took the ice axe with one hand, grasped it tightly with his hand with the other, and was lifted up by Zhang Wupriceless little by little, and waited until he stepped on the ice nest before he could stand firm on his own strength.

For a while, the backs of both of them were soaked with sweat.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang at the foot of the mountain, and the sled that had already rolled down had just hit the ground and smashed to pieces.
