Chapter 17: Wolf Gully
Wang Lei's speculation made Hu Shengzhe and Pang Yan nod and say yes, so it is reasonable, if it is said that a small beast can destroy the glacier, no one can believe it.
Zhou Kesheng showed a relieved look and said: "The real situation should be like this, if this snow beast really has the supernatural power that can make the glacier crush and collapse, it is easy to be abnormal if it wants to kill us, why hide, obviously it is still afraid of us." ”
Although the glacier collapsed in half, fortunately it did not completely block the way for everyone, and everyone bypassed the ice picks inserted into the snow and the large amount of ice that piled up like a small hill and went down the slope.
Rama also slowly calmed down, and his eyes were full of curiosity and a little awe when he looked at Xiao Ling.
For a person like him, who worships and recognizes the existence of the gods, Xiao Ling's prophetic warning just now is full of mystery, and such a person will be regarded as a messenger of the gods among the people.
After falling down the snow slope, the next road was uneventful, only to see an animal in the snow flashing in the distance, because it was far away, everyone didn't see it clearly, and only thought that the snow beast Mu had appeared.
Sun Tao had a fire in his heart, and with two team members, he rushed forward with a gun, but unfortunately the other party had already lost his shadow, but looking at the snow marks left on the ground, it was not the three-toed paw prints of the snow beast.
When Rama approached and saw the footprints, he immediately recognized them, which were the footprints of a snow leopard, and everyone knew that it was a snow leopard that had just disappeared in a flash, not a snow beast.
After walking about three kilometers down the slope of the snow, a huge snow ditch appeared in front of them, which was what Rama called the wolf ditch.
It is said that in the wild wolf ditch, snow wolves were once rampant, and there were hundreds of snow wolves living here in their heyday.
These snow wolves will collectively prey on this snowy mountain, rampant, and even attack humans, forming a wolf disaster, almost no animals in the snowy mountains are their natural enemies, even if the snow leopard and snow bear encounter them, they will die of hatred.
Later, it suddenly became extinct, according to legend, because the snow wolf in the snow mountain caused too much killing, and finally angered the god of the snow mountain, and sent a disaster, overnight, hundreds of snow wolves died in the wolf ditch.
The murderer who killed these hundreds of snow wolves is said to be the snow beast.
Now in this snow-capped mountain, there is no snow wolf to be seen.
As the crowd listened to Rama tell the well-known story, they began to descend the snow gully.
"Rama, how long ago did you talk about this legend?" Xiao Ling saw that Rama always showed a look of fear when he talked about the snow beast, thinking that this hunter was frightened by the legend, and he was a little funny, so he couldn't help but ask.
Rama saw that it was Xiao Ling who asked him, and immediately replied very politely: "I also heard from the old man in the village, it must have been at least ten years, but this is not a legend, but a true thing, and now a large number of snow wolf bones can be seen in the wild wolf ditch." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows and didn't speak again, but followed everyone along the rocks covered by snow, and went down carefully, for fear that if he was a little distracted, it would be easy to slide down.
The wild wolf ditch is very deep, fortunately, the slopes on both sides are not steep, there are a lot of rocks, as long as you climb carefully, it is not very difficult to come down, even Li Zhibao does not need the help of others, he can climb down alone, not to mention Xiao Ling, who is full of physical strength and agility.
At the bottom of the ditch, Rama seemed to want to confirm that what he had just said was true, and pulled the butt of his shotgun through the snow a few times, and soon pulled out a white dry bone from the snow.
"Look, this is the corpse of the snow wolf, only now it's a dry bone."
Rama said as she pulled a few more bones out of the snow.
The crowd couldn't tell if it was the snow wolf's bones, but Rama was still a little surprised when he picked up the bones in the snow.
"All the bones of snow wolves are buried in this snow, and when the snow melts in summer, the bottom of the ditch is white from a distance, which is very scary."
Before, everyone only thought that Rama was telling a legend, but now there are a large number of snow wolf bones in this wild wolf ditch, and it seems that this legend is not completely groundless, but has a certain factual basis.
"Can a single peony kill hundreds of snow wolves? Unlikely. Wang Lei shook his head slightly.
Rama knew that the outsiders didn't believe what he said, so he stopped defending himself and led everyone down the wolf ditch.
What was once a dangerous and bloody wolf ditch is now nothing but a thick layer of snow.
The group climbed over the wolf ditch and went up the snow slope, and saw several towering snow mounds in front of them, and behind the snow mounds, there was a simple house, the surface of the house was covered with thick snow, and from a distance it looked like a snow hut made of snow.
Seeing the snow room, Rama was in good spirits and hurriedly said to everyone: "Venerable Mazha lives in the snow room, and I have heard from the village elders about it a long time ago. ”
With a look of respect and adoration on his face, he said, "Venerable Mazha lives alone in the depths of this snowy mountain, and snow wolves are rampant in the wild wolf ditch before, but no snow wolf has ever dared to approach the snow house, let alone hurt Venerable Maza. ”
Everyone looked at the snow hut, which was independent of the snow mounds, and looked at each other with a look of surprise.
The conditions in the snow-capped mountains are harsh, and there are fierce beasts such as bears and leopards, how can a lonely person survive?
Not to mention that every time you go out, you have to cross the wild wolf ditch and climb over the Gonggelk Snow Peak.
They were a group of more than a dozen people, all armed, and they were all cautious all the way, if there was only one person, they couldn't imagine it.
"Is this Venerable Mazha really living here alone for many years?" Even Zhou Kesheng couldn't believe it.
Rama nodded, and said, "Of course it's true, I don't tell lies." When you go to see His Holiness, you must not make loud noises, you must respect Your Holiness, and you must not offend His Holiness. ”
Zhou Kesheng nodded and said, "Okay, we'll pay attention." ”
I heard Rama say that His Holiness Mazha is from Karashi Village, and I think that this Karashi Village should be a similar village to Gongma Village, even if there are no people living now, at least the scale of the village is still there, this Karashi Village is located in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, although the conditions are difficult, it is not unusual.
No one thought that he would live alone, and there was only one snow hut left in the so-called Karashi Village, and this Venerable Mazha could survive here alone for many years, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
It seems that this Venerable Mazha really has some means, and he is by no means an ordinary person.
The group rounded a snow hill and arrived at the igloo.
The crowd did not enter the house immediately, but looked around the igloo.
The snow in the courtyard was cleared to reveal a solid and flat ground, and there were pots and pots stacked in the corner of the front yard, among which there were flowers and plants.
The backyard is a vegetable garden.
