Chapter 133: Action (3)
The shrill whistling sound rose again, and the sound of beacons exploding rang out in the sky.
Each sound means that one, or three, people have been caught.
Carlos leaned over and walked forward almost as if he were on the ground.
No, he was already like a running cheetah, and his hands were pressed on the snow from time to time, and he ran so fast that he didn't even leave any traces on the snow.
The snow here is so deep that it can reach his waist, and he can't walk in such snow that he can't walk at all.
This is a method he found to imitate the wild cats in the mountains and forests when hunting, and through skill, the weight of his body will not be completely pressed on the snow under his feet, but will be scattered on both sides of his feet, so that his body does not fall into the snow so quickly, and with his hands supporting, he can take the next step before falling into the snowdrift.
It's awkward, but as long as you get used to it, there's nothing to do, but it's very comfortable. Carlos often drove antelopes and deer to places where the snow was thick and soft, and then easily caught them in this way.
But...
A terrible scream rang out again, this time in front of Carlos' right, seemingly some distance away.
He frowned. But the corners of his mouth showed a smile of some excitement and excitement.
"It's... It's exciting! ”
It's like a life and death fight, just like the feeling when you were chased by a black bear...
Tried all means to escape, climb, cross the river, and still desperately weave the trap in his hand...
He felt something surging in his heart, tumbling, boiling! This feeling gave him a... I look forward to it!
He loves it!
"Isn't that great, isn't it great!" His breathing became heavy with excitement, his face flushed with boiling blood, "We... Let's go! ”
He took off his cloak and gripped it tightly in his hands, picking up his pace again.
At the same time, at an unknown distance from Carlos, Xiu stopped.
He's got to where he was supposed to be.
Here you can see the location of the green beacon rising in the distance, and you can also smell the smell of gunpowder smoke blowing along the wind.
That's the smell of beacon burning.
It's high, high enough to see dozens of kilometers around you or even farther away, and it's quiet too. Because this is a bare cliff top.
The cliff used to be very lively, because at the foot of the mountain, the rushing river with its rumbling water rushed over the mountain, and the sound could be heard even at the top of the mountain.
But now the place has quieted down.
The river has been frozen and the rushing water no longer flows, but has turned into a solid surface of ice, covered with thick snowdrifts.
Suzanne once said that if you can not walk on a frozen river, don't go, because the frozen river is not completely strong, and the broken ice is dangerous, and if you step on it, it will break and fall into the river.
Freezing river water will completely render your body completely unconscious in ten seconds and turn into a popsicle in a minute.
Don't walk the glacier until you have to, because you don't know where to be strong enough.
Xiu didn't plan to cross the glacier, but he needed a place like this.
It's high here, it's enough.
He went up the mountain for a long time. It's not a very steep peak, but it's not gentle.
Because of the recent heavy snowfall, the snow here is very thick. And because the snow has only been falling for a short time, so... They are very sparse.
Xiu is climbing up here. He lay on the snow, like a turtle, little by little on the snow, and also to keep himself from falling into the snowdrift. "It's not easy to climb up...", Xiu wrapped his hood tightly, took off his gloves and rubbed them in his cloak, hoping to warm his frozen hands.
The gloves can't keep warm anymore, because his hands have no temperature, so how can the gloves keep warm.
Regret, regret why I wanted to stand up.
Because when he tried to do so, he suddenly sank into a thick snowdrift, and the momentary weightlessness made him mistakenly think that he had jumped off the cliff, but fortunately he stepped on the ground to be more steady. But now it's a little embarrassing, and now he's no different from a fall, but because of the snow paving, it doesn't hurt.
It's better to lie on your stomach now, but it's hard to climb up.
Now only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he felt that the top of his head was cold, and he couldn't help but tighten the hat on his cloak.
He looked at it carefully.
The view here was really too wide, and he could see a large area on the left and right. Most of the trees and snow are still visible.
Suddenly, he made a discovery.
It was the river, and he saw a tiny black shadow trying to cross it. It must have been a companion of his, and from here he could see that the companion was running quickly and anxiously.
The First Brigade knew the danger of the river, but he still chose to cross the river, and it seemed that he had to choose this way because of the urgency he encountered.
But he stopped halfway through, and not long after, a piercing scream sounded, and a beacon flickered with emerald green flames that rose to the same height as Xiu, bursting into brilliant fireworks.
Xiu looked at the companion closely.
He barely saw what was going on, and the figure of the companion vanished.
No...
He frowned tightly and stared at the river until he finally saw a small trace.
A white shadow walked away beside the black shadow.
White... Who can see it in the snow...
Xiu frowned tightly.
At least, it's safe here for now ...
The snow is still falling, and the traces you leave behind will soon disappear. As long as you have it here now, it shouldn't be too much of a problem when it gets dark. Xiu looked at the gradually thickening clouds in the sky.
As soon as the clouds in the sky become thicker, it means that it is almost evening. When the clouds in the sky turn gray or black, it means that the night is almost over.
When the wind starts to blow, it's really night.
Xiu took a deep breath of hot air into his palm and rubbed it for a while, feeling that his fingers were a little warm, and then put on his gloves.
When he tried to wrap his cloak tightly, he found that it was a little stiff.
He sighed and tightened his cloak.
At the foot of the cliff, the Valkyrie escorted her captive and galloped all the way to Ness.
"Still didn't stop her from letting the beacon out. And also... She had nothing to eat. Valkyrie said to Ness, a little disappointed.
Ness was also a little gloomy, "If we didn't have a little food, we might not be able to survive the night...", she suddenly grabbed the captive with some anger, and mentioned the whole thing, "Who made you not bring food!" Who is it! ”
The knight struggled and said, "Why do you bring food?" Do you increase the weight! ”
Ness didn't know what to say when she heard this.
None of these people have experienced the pangs of hunger! What do they take to maintain their strength without food!
The knight's next sentence completely broke Ness's heart: "We're not hungry!" It's nothing if you don't eat for a day, like the canteen where you have to eat! Have you ever seen something to eat for the assessment? ”
