After the map on the snow was gradually covered by falling snowflakes, Lian Jiuqi looked at the west and said: "It seems that we can only take advantage of the fact that the golden eagle can't take off, climb up to the west, and then go down from the west mountain, and slide down the ditch used to transport prey to the center of the tribe. ”

Angu nodded: "Since the day I can remember, I remember that the Sealing Knife was placed in the Holy Hall, because my master's residence and I were just ten meters next to the Holy Hall, and I could see the Sealing Knife placed in the Holy Hall every day. ”

Torture asked, "What does the Sanctuary look like?" How many people are guarded? Is it good to get in? ”

An Gu said: "When the time comes, you can see it yourself, you will know it when you see it." ”

Four hours later, as the sky grew dark, the four of them finally climbed to the western peak, led by Angu, who guided them to venture up from the ancient icefall on the side of the mountain, which would have taken at least twice as long to climb if they had changed places.

There are four people who came to the mountain peak without danger, panting and hiding behind an ice stone on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, the only place in the entire mountain peak can take shelter from the wind, standing on the edge of the cliff can not only see the cliff ice road leading to the bottom of the mountain, but also have a bird's eye view of the entire golden eagle tribe.

Lian Jiuqi tied the four people together with a safety rope, drove the fixing nail into the crack in the rock, and asked Modui Bridge to squat down and guard it, and then came to the edge of the cliff with Angu and Xingshu, and looked down with a telescope.

Angu pointed to the intertwined trench-like ice roads under the cliffs: "The following ice tunnels were dug a hundred years ago, because there are no four seasons here, only winter, and the temperature is always very low, so the ice tunnels can only be dug to facilitate the transportation of large things in the tribe, such as prey, firewood, and the like. ”

Xingshu and Lian Jiuqi looked at the ice paths that crisscrossed the inside and outside of the tribe below, as if they had seen the European battlefield of World War I, trench after trench, and every life hoped to last in the trench until the end of the war, but most people died in the end.

Torture looked down and asked, "You mean, we climbed down the edge of the cliff and then slid down the ice path towards the tribe, but these flat paths don't seem to have any ups and downs, and we can't slide too far, right?" ”

Angu shook his head: "According to our own weight, once we slide out, the only thing we think about is how to stop, in fact, these ice courses have a lot of ups and downs, and the slope in some places is very large, once we slide down, the speed and weight can easily slide over the top of the next ice track." ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "I understand, the ice road is equivalent to the role of a self-propelled slide, so the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe can tie the things to be transported to the sleigh at a distance from the tribe, and then slide directly into the tribe, so as to save the time and effort of dragging it back." ”

Torture asked, "Where is the Sanctuary?" ”

Angu pointed to the ice tower in the center of the tribe, which looked to be at least five stories high: "That's the Sanctuary. ”

Torture raised his binoculars and looked, "The Sanctuary is an ice tower?" Why don't there be windows around the ice tower or something? ”

After reading the torture technique, he handed the telescope to Lian Jiuqi, and Angu explained: "I don't know, it's always been like that, so when you asked me at the bottom of the mountain, I said let you see for yourself, you look at the ice wall outside the tribe, and the sentry towers connected to the ice wall, and the people standing on the sentry tower can see the situation in the temple at a glance, so there is no need for guards around the sanctuary at all, once someone enters and tries to take away the Sealing Sword, they will be discovered immediately." ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at the entire tribe carefully: "This place, even if the army of the Ural Khan tribe comes, it can't be attacked, that kind of ice wall can't be smashed at all unless you use modern firearms, cold weapons, and the ice road below, you can't stand at all if you crawl directly, if you slide into it along the ice road, the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe only need to wait for the rabbit at the end of the ice road, and kill one by one." ”

"There is a huge ice pit at the end of the ice road, and if there is no rope ladder, it is impossible to climb up at all, so once you fall into it and are discovered by the tribal guards, it is basically dead, and in addition, the ice pit is also used as a reservoir at some times." ”

"Reservoir?" Xingshu looked at Angu strangely, "This place is cold all year round, does it still need to store water?" ”

"Yes!" Angu nodded affirmatively, "Because the temperature is too low, the tribe is basically surrounded by ice, even with an ordinary sword, it can't be cut down, so under that ice pit, there are also a lot of water reservoirs, which are connected to the bottom of the five big houses in the tribe, and there are also water reservoirs dug underground, just under the frozen soil, and the water can't be frozen." ”

Speaking of this, Angu raised his hand and pointed to the other side of the mountain: "On the other side of the mountain, there is an unfrozen spring, and water has gushed out for hundreds of years, and our ancestors also dug a cistern on it, and as soon as the sluice gates of the cistern are opened, the water will flow down the ice channel and enter the cistern, and then enter the cistern of each of the five large houses through the aqueduct. ”

After Angu finished speaking, Xingshu and Lian Jiuqi didn't speak, and after a while, Lian Jiuqi asked, "Xingshu, do you think something is wrong?" ”

"Something is wrong." Torture shook his head, "The ice path, the cistern, the ice-free spring, the ice wall, the watchtower, and the temple in the middle all show that this tribe is not primitive, they are civilized, at least it seems, much more civilized than the Ural Khan tribe." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked Angu: "Angu, let me ask you, do you have a lot of iron in your tribe?" ”

Angu nodded: "Many, but since I was born, I haven't seen the tribe refining iron, but the strange thing is that every once in a while, the tribe will transport a batch of iron tools back, and no one can ask where those iron tools come from." ”

Xingshu looked at Lian Jiuqi and said: "I suspect that this tribe has something to do with that Song ship, it has something to do with Kuhan City in the Four Seasons Mountain, and even with the Ural Khan tribe, otherwise, how could these two hostile tribes regard that Sealing Sword as a holy artifact?" ”

Lian Jiuqi turned to look at the sun that was about to disappear: "We don't have time to go down tonight, so we can only find a way to wait here until tomorrow evening." ”

"That's not right." Angu frowned and looked down, and then took Lian Jiuqi's telescope and looked down, "Why isn't there a single person in the tribe?" There are also no patrolling guards on the watchtower and ice wall? ”

Angu's words reminded him of the torture techniques and Lianjiu chess, which had previously focused solely on the terrain and the structure of the houses. Indeed, when the two of them looked down with binoculars before, they didn't find anyone, but the two subconsciously thought that the weather was too cold, and the people of the Golden Eagle Tribe hid in the house.

"There are only two possibilities," he asked, "either the men are out during the hunting period, and the old men, women and children are waiting in the house, or they have discovered our whereabouts and set up an ambush in the tribe to wait for us." ”

Angu shook his head: "Impossible, even if it is the hunting season, the rest of the tribe will not all hide, but will pray for the hunters to come back safely near the sanctuary in the tribe." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked again: "Isn't it an ambush?" ”

"It's even more unlikely." Angu shook his head, "If they find us, when we climb the icefall, they will release golden eagles to attack us, those golden eagles are trained, they will attack our eyes at the first time, peck out our eyeballs, and then attack our fingers on both hands, once we can't grasp the ice axe, we will die if we fall, and there is no need for an ambush at all." ”

Torture wondered, "That's weird, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Wait!" Angu turned to look at the sun that had almost completely set, "After dark, if there is no fire coming from the houses in the tribe, then something is wrong." ”

"Something?" Lian Jiuqi hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" What will happen? ”

Angu frowned and said: "I don't know, I can only judge from the situation in front of me, probably something happened, because I have never seen a person in the tribe without a single person, except for the accident, I can't think of any other reason." ”

After Angu finished speaking, he fell into a long silence, and he sat there like an ice sculpture, overlooking the golden eagle tribe below until the sun's rays completely disappeared. After the darkness struck and swallowed the entire snow-capped mountain range, Xingshu and the others didn't see any of the houses in the Golden Eagle Tribe that there was fire, and Angu finally stood up, picked up the ice axe, and was about to climb down the mountain wall.

Lian Jiuqi stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, since you know that something happened, you can't rush to go down and observe for a while." ”

Angu looked at Lian Jiuqi and asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Before even Jiuqi could explain, the torture technique said: "The reason is very simple, if something happens, it must be an attack on the tribe or some disaster, no matter which possibility it is, it is impossible not to see anyone, even if there are corpses, one or two should be found, but there are no traces of this below, but these two possibilities cannot be ruled out, so we must wait until after night to observe whether there is any change, because there are some things that will not come out during the day......"

Angu frowned again and again when he heard this, he was not sure, and he was not sure what the words of torture meant, although he was a layman, although he was bent on leaving this tribe, but no matter what, he was always born and raised here, and he had a deep affection for the Golden Eagle Tribe, even if the people here rejected him, he still regarded them as dear people.

After waiting for a while, he changed the ink twilight bridge to the edge of the cliff, after all, the cold wind was too cold after nightfall, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was like a knife on the face, if there was no protection of the ski mask, the average person would not be able to resist for two or three minutes, and it was estimated that the face would be paralyzed.

But Angu didn't want to leave, and still squatted there, looking down.

Mo Duqiao took the binoculars, turned to the night vision mode, and looked down, but he had to turn off the night vision mode for a while, otherwise, the batteries in the telescope would soon run out, which was the main reason why they didn't turn on the night vision mode in the cave.

"Angu, is there a cave or anything like that on the top of this mountain?" Torture asked, even hiding behind the rocks, feeling like he was about to freeze.

Angu turned his head to look at the torture technique, shook his head and said, "No, there is only such a rock to shelter from the wind, when Master trained me before, I came, and few people came here, which is why I chose this path." ”

Lian Jiuqi hugged his arm: "Wait for another ten minutes, no matter whether there is movement below, we must go down to take shelter, otherwise, we will definitely freeze to death." ”

Ten minutes later, Ink Twilight turned around and shouted, "No movement!" It seems that there is really no one in the tribe! ”

Although Mo Dusk Bridge relied on shouting, he still didn't hear what he was saying clearly in the torture technique and Lian Jiuqi two or three meters away, because the wind was too loud, and when it passed by the edge of the rock, it still made a sound similar to a ghost crying wolf from time to time.

After hearing Mo Duqiao's words clearly, he turned around and waved his hand vigorously at Lian Jiuqi, who hurriedly walked over, and then motioned to climb down, this was their last chance.

The climb down was not smooth, the main reason was that it was too dark, they didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, they could only modulate the light from the headlamp to the darkest, and they could barely see their surroundings clearly, because if it was too bright, if there was really an ambush below, it would be easy to spot them on the cliff.

After climbing down for a full hour, they finally couldn't bear it, because there was no light, they didn't know how far they were from below, so the four of them had to cling to the side of the cliff and hold on to the rope around their waists to rest for a while.

"Twilight Bridge, calculate the distance." Lian Jiuqi lightly stepped on the shoulder of Moduqiao with his foot.

Mo Duqiao took out the binoculars, adjusted to the night vision mode, looked down, observed for a while, and then looked up and said: "About ten meters down, there is a protruding rock, we can rest there, but I can't calculate the position from there to the bottom, it is all ice and snow, it looks the same at night, and I can't see the ice road clearly." ”

After Mo Dui Qiao finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind struck, directly blowing his whole person away, and the torture technique below immediately dragged his rope, and together with Lian Jiuqi above, he pulled Mo Du Bridge back.

Mo Duqiao re-fixed his body, looked at the fixing nail that had broken away due to the strong wind, and shook his head, "The wind is too strong, you must go down immediately, it looks like it is going to snow again!" ”

Angu grabbed the rope and moved his body, changed positions, stepped on the side of the cliff, straightened his legs, and leaned back to look in the direction of the wind, and saw dark clouds rolling in the sky at the other end of the mountain, and the lightning flashes in the dark clouds from time to time told him that a blizzard was coming.

"A blizzard is coming!" Angu threw his head up and shouted to the top, "We must go down now, right now!" We can't rest any longer, or we'll all die here, and the wind here can blow the four of us straight to Lake Dada! ”

Mo Duqiao smiled: "That would be better, I can't wait to grow wings and fly down the mountain now, I'd rather stay in that cave with a ghost bear!" ”

When the four of them finally came to the protruding rock that Moduqiao had spoken of, the wind struck again, and each time it became more and more fierce, and the two of them slammed the fixing nails on the cliff, trying to completely secure their bodies when the most violent wind hit.

But they were still late, the blizzard came much earlier than they expected, and when the dark clouds hovered at the top of the peak, the snow fell from the sky, and the lightning broke free from the shackles of the dark clouds, and kept slapping on the top of the mountain, and then countless huge snow and ice fell from the top and smashed around the four of them.

The torturer held Angula in front of him, protecting him with his body, and even Jiuqi and Moduqiao clinged to the cliffs, trying to avoid the ice and snow that could send them to Hades at any time.

"There's no way we're going to survive a blizzard!" Angu, who was protected by torture, shouted, "Go down, you must go down immediately, otherwise you will all die, hurry up!" This is just the beginning, wait for the blizzard to get bigger and bigger! ”

Xingshu nodded: "Mr. Lian, let's go, he's right, let go of the rope for ten meters, let's climb down slowly!" ”

As soon as Lian Jiuqi was about to put down the rope, a bolt of lightning struck a rock ten meters above them, and the rock broke off the cliff and smashed directly on the protruding rock they were standing on, causing the entire cliff they were on to completely collapse.

"I ......" Before the word "" in the torture spell's mouth was spoken, the whole person fell directly, and he subconsciously raised the ice axe on his wrist and chiseled towards the ice on the cliff with all his might, trying to fix his body.

Although the other three were doing the same thing, due to the continuous collapse of the cliff, even if the ice axe was fixed to the ice, the fixed ice layer was all broken and loosened after half a second.

The four screamed and fell, eventually smashing into the snowdrift below.

The torture technique fell in the snowdrift, and when he was struggling to get up, he saw a black shadow falling from above, he immediately rolled around, hugged Angu beside him and avoided it directly, and when the thing fell, it made a loud rumbling sound, and then fell into the snowdrift.

It was only when he turned on his headlamp that he saw that it was a huge rock, and if he hadn't dodged it before, it would have turned into meat sauce by now.

"It's almost the end!" The torture technique asked Angu, who kept spitting out the snow in his mouth, and was speechless for a while, and then turned around and called the names of Lian Jiuqi and Moduqiao again, while dragging the rope tied to them.

After dozens of seconds, Lian Jiuqi and Mo Duqiao struggled to get up from the snowdrifts, and the torture technique asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Lian Jiuqi patted the snow on his body, "Twilight Bridge, how are you?" ”

Mo Duqiao got up and knelt there, panting and said, "It should be fine, there are no missing arms or legs." ”

Torture sat on the snow: "That's good, it's a safe landing." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them heard a terrifying vibration coming from the mountain, and they didn't even need to look up to know that it was definitely an avalanche.

"Run-" Angu got up and ran lifelessly towards the bottom of the snow slope, and the other three immediately ran down one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after running for a long time, Angu in front suddenly slipped under his feet, and the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Angu's sudden disappearance stunned the torture technique in the rear, and just as he was about to shout Angu, the rope around his waist suddenly pulled him, and he also slipped down directly, followed by Lian Jiuqi and Modui Bridge in the rear.

When the torture technique reacted, he realized that he was already in the ice path of the Golden Eagle Tribe, and the speed of sliding down was extremely fast, and he couldn't fix his body no matter what method he used, so that he could stop sliding...... 2k reading web
