Chapter 35: Lacol
The stairs were almost endless, but they couldn't crush the hope in Chen Xi's heart, and although the road was rugged, and the cliffs that appeared from time to time even made him dizzy, he still carried it over.
Although it was very close to the destination, the mountain road was still far away, and when it was dark on the first day, the place where Chen Xi's eyes were parallel was already the top of some low peaks.
This is a cave dug by the Lakol tribe, the scattered instruments in it have a shining golden light, and the walls are depicted with the light that belongs to the Bright Sun, spreading the teachings of the Sun Sect to almost every corner of the Giant God Peak!
There was no snow or wind, and the cave crossed the mountains, although only a thin layer of rocks was hidden from the outside, far better than the rudimentary two or three stones on top of the snowfield.
Set up the tent, and tell Chen Xi that the existing bonfire pit is also a transit point for the Lakoor tribe.
The aroma of barbecue meat was particularly strong in the cave, there was no wind and snow, Chen Xi could eat a little slower, and he put the utensils he took from Ruiz with water on the iron shelf to heat it, making his dinner more warm.
Chen Xi was sure that this was the best meal he had eaten in another world, even when he was in Bergunne, he couldn't eat such delicious fresh meat, and in the desert, he could only ask for more high-quality sources of dried meat and more sophisticated pickling techniques.
After eating this meal with peace of mind, Chen Xi's meditation imitation that had been broken for several days began again, this time, he worked far harder than before, and the body trained by the cold wind made him more suitable for this strange posture.
In the morning, the sun did not come as expected, but the slight brightness of the cave still made Chen Xi realize the sun that had already jumped out of the mountains, and Ruiz was already ready and waiting for him.
After picking up the water that had been heated next to the fire last night, soaking it in two pieces of jerky to soften, and then settling the breakfast, Chen Xi and Ruiz were on the road again.
The stone plank path that winded up the mountain stretched and disappeared behind the mountain wall hundreds of meters ahead, a scene like this that he had seen more than once, and he wondered if he was going in a circle along the entire Giant God Peak.
Above the plank road, it was not the cloth shed that appeared to cover the wind and snow above, which made Chen Xi suspect that after turning this corner, it was another piece of wind and snow territory.
Passing by half a meter wide on the cliff, before Chen Xi's nervous heart could recover from the falling rubble, a deeper cave occupied Chen Xi's front.
Farther away, there was already a little snow on the mountain, and more mountain peaks were vying to open on the horizon in the distance, and the snow-white "petals" made Chen Xi's heart shocked and peaceful.
Entering the cave, Chen Xi was secretly glad that the cave here happened to cover the wind and snow, but the wind whistling in the cave and the cold current brought by the stream still made Chen Xi have to put on a dress.
This one is already the second one to be added, and Chen Xi's other spare clothes disappeared into the cold wind in the snowfield, and this dress is what Ruiz gave Chen Xi to protect himself from.
With a slight sigh of relief, Chen Xi admired the clothes that were much better quality than his own clothes, and crossed the stream with one stride, so as not to get his feet wet.
The endless meandering in the distance made Chen Xi light up the arm guard on his arm, which made him feel that he had a little effect, and at the same time, the slight warmth also made him more comfortable, although this warmth could only last for more than an hour.
In the cave, the darkness gradually ended, Chen Xi had already extinguished the armguard, he did not run out of energy for more than an hour, only more than half a year later, he extinguished this light, leaving the energy that could release the shield, and then he could only hold the torch forward.
At this time, he realized that the warmth brought by the torch was more tangible than the light of his armguards.
By the time I walked out of this dark cave, it was already two hours later, and the sun had crossed its highest point and was slowly moving towards the horizon.
Not surprisingly, stepping out of the hole, the snow surface was replaced by the crisp sound of stamping on the wind, fortunately, it was still sunny here, which kept Chen Xi from facing the wind and snow.
The trails here are far safer than before, and perhaps the Rakor don't want to cross the danger in the snow, and the rocks below are enough to turn anyone into an indistinguishable pile of flesh!
"Phew!"
On the high part of the mountain, a behemoth that has always resembled a falcon flashed between the mountains and rocks, which made Chen Xi a little flustered, would these hunters from another world think that the fresh meat of other worlds would be more delicious?
Ruiz was not moved by these screams, which made Chen Xi also relax a little, and followed Ruiz to leave half-foot-thick footprints in the snow along the way.
The environment of the Giant God Peak is always incomprehensible, when you think it will be frost and snow one after another, it will often give you a piece of greenery, and when you are familiar with the warmth of the greenery, the frost and snow will come as scheduled.
After crossing this snow-made mountain road and turning a cave bend through the ridge, the snow melts into the distance, and although there is no greenery, the gray-white of the rocks still replaces the cold of the snow skin.
Farther away, the stream in the mountain stream flows slowly, and under a cliff, is the warmth covered by the cloth tent, the glory of civilization, the warm city, and the prosperity of the tribe!
The cloth shelter on the mountain wall looks more like shelter from the cold wind here, and under the cloth canopy, layer by layer in the rock, inside the glorious stone wall, is a settlement belonging to the Lakol tribe!
Farther away, in the deeper mountain wall, a prosperous tribe, or simply a prosperous scene of a city, made Chen Xi once again see the tenacity of a civilization in another world!
A few hundred meters away, the flickering figures spotted two approaching figures, without exception.
Soon, as the two sides approached each other, the guards of the Lakoer clan greeted Chen Xi and the two.
"Who are you?"
The guards were holding double-edged spiked spears, the blood grooves on the tips of which were sharp.
"We're from Valoran, here to find the Temple of the Sun!
There was no compliment in Ruiz's words, which made the group of guards who admired the Sun Sect feel a little uncomfortable, but the Sun Sect never refused to recognize the people of the Sun Sect, so these guards couldn't stop the two of them.
"Come with us!But now is not the time for the mountain path to open, now is not the time for you to go to the Burning Sun Sect, you need to wait for another half a month!"
The guards put away their spears and slowly led the way in front, and soon the group was entering the settlement.
The doorways of cave houses are often three or four people high, and the sunlight spots emitted by the carved mountains along the hollows are reflected above the doorways, which correspond to the carvings on them, making the whole settlement appear more magnificent and sacred!
