Chapter 337: The Crack in the Ice Wall (Part I)
A good woman is afraid of pestering. This can be used not only for boys to pursue girls, but also for dealing with things that boys ask girls to compromise.
"Even if we go back to the White Lake, we still need to come up from there." Zhou Xian pointed to the direction of the glacier river, "You see that the glacier flows directly in the glacier, so the ice valley must not be as comfortable as this section of the stone road here." β
"So you mean we're going to step on the glacier in a moment?" Ji Xiaoran's face darkened.
"No, it looks like the route is bypassing this area." Zhou Xian was not embarrassed and inserted the map back into his backpack.
This time they were carrying climbing ropes with iron claws. The metal claws vigorously grasped the rock drilled out from under the glacier, and Zhou Xian tied the end of the rope to himself to avoid falling, and then began to hold the rope with both hands and pedal the glacier down little by little.
Ji Xiaoran didn't dare to disturb him at all, so he had to lean on the edge of the rock and watch the other party's figure gradually become smaller.
For this distance of 100 meters, Zhou Xian spent half an hour. The most uncomfortable thing is not the arms and legs, but the eyes that are constantly stimulated by the reflection of the glacier. This allowed him to put his foot back on the rock, and then he slowed down for a while.
Ji Xiaoran also learned from experience, and directly took out the brown sunglasses and put them on. Although this girl was shouting all kinds of cowardice, after Zhou Xian proofed in front, she came down much faster than him.
After a brief period of gray rock transition, it is considered to be a real glacier. It is infinitely magnificent white, with white snow-capped mountains in the distance, snow-white glaciers spreading all the way nearby, and the sun in the sky shines on the snow and ice.
It's just that the gray-black patches on the glaciers are not only bare rocks or shadows cast by mountains and clouds, but also winding ravines. As the elevation difference in the center of the glacier increases, a wall of ice begins to block the way. The structure of the maze of ice walls is complex, and cracks that are not visible from a distance appear as traps in the maze. The fissures twisted wildly, like bloodthirsty predators waiting for their prey to set foot on them. The ice walls are mottled and the ice is so hard and ancient that there is no other way but to walk slowly and cautiously through them. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
It's just that the plain that appeared after the ice wall crossed looked more like the white Loess Plateau, so they had to tie the two together with ropes.
This is actually a very dangerous method, because a slip under the feet of any one person may lead the other person into the abyss. But here, even if you fall into the abyss, the survival rate of two people together is bound to be higher than that of being alone on the ice.
If it hadn't been smashed directly on the ice.
The glacial water bounced under the black ravines, and the roar of the crevasses hit the eardrums of visitors. No matter how you move forward, you can't see the end of white, and it makes people feel extremely desperate.
"We've been lucky." Zhou Xian's words were both to relieve his silence and to comfort himself, "There is no snow here." β
"Senior." Ji Xiaoran was so angry that he slapped his ass directly with a cane, "Can Flag not stand so high?" β
So when the dazzling sunlight in the sky began to disappear, she couldn't wait to bite Zhou Xian's body directly.
Once the sunlight on the snow-capped mountain glacier loses its rays, the temperature drops instantly, and the wind in the mountains also appears. This forced the two to find an ice wall on the ice field as a place to stay.
Without a tent, the two could only wrap themselves tightly and hide as much as possible in the gaps in the ice wall. Fortunately, in the depths of the crevices, the wind whistled through the entrance and overhead, and the warm milk tea provided to them by the firewood ignited by the spiritual fire warmed people from the inside out.
At this time, it is clear why herders prefer to drink salty milk tea.
Bai Tuanzi was finally able to free himself from the backpack, and it climbed onto Ji Xiaoran's shoulder very skillfully, warming her neck with its belly.
The hat and scarf had long since been removed when the flames rose, and the frost that had been frozen had now melted into water.
When the fire was lit, Ji Xiaoran was still worried about whether the flames would melt the glacier. But soon she realized that her worries were unfounded: the ice here was frozen harder than the rocks, and how could it be burned by such a small flame?
Before the salty aroma of milk tea dissipates from the air, the fresh aroma of grilled fish has already begun to appear. The cold-water fish left behind are roasted over the fire, and the skin bubbles bubble out one by one and become charred.
But before dinner could be enjoyed, Bai Tuanzi jumped to the ground and began to howl deep into the ice. The shrill sound spread and weakened through the cracks, and just when it was almost inaudible, a similar screeching sound came from the darkness.
Bai Tuanzi immediately began to grin his teeth.
"Is there any animal living in this crevice of the ice?" Ji Xiaoran immediately became nervous.
The two of them didn't seem to be able to hide any big beast in the ice. Soon, Ji Xiaoran and Zhou Xian sensed a faint aura that broke into the perception range of the two.
The other party moved very fast, but there seemed to be no rushing figure in the darkness.
The white ball had already rushed up, and saw that this white ball seemed to have knocked something down in the process of rushing into the darkness, and then it twisted and fought with the other party that could not be seen.
As a result, the fluctuations of spiritual power were chaotic, and as blood splashed on the ice, Bai Tuanzi's opponent gradually revealed his body: a black snake.
The snake is as thick as a wrist, and because it is wrapped around the white ball, it is impossible to see its length, but it must be a meter. At this moment, it was bitten on the back of its head by Bai Tuanzi, and the scales on its body stood up like spikes.
"Long snake?" Ji Xiaoran's face sank, "Did we break into the lair of the long snake?" β
"If it's a nest, there should be more than that, right?"
Zhou Xian picked up a burning firewood and threw it at the scene of the fight. Bai Tuanzi is naturally not afraid of flames, but the scales and skin on the long snake's body smell of burnt protein at the moment when the flame touches it.
The smell suddenly covered the original diffuse fragrance.
Bai Tuanzi sensed his opponent's fear of the flames and immediately dragged it against the flames that had not yet been extinguished, and a roar of pain immediately sounded. Just a look from the little eyes, Zhou Xian had already thrown another piece of firewood over there.
Until the roar became weaker and weaker, the spikes that stood up slowly hung down, and the body wrapped around Bai Tuanzi's body was also scattered like a broken rope.
After making sure that the other party was alive, Bai Tuanzi relented, kicked away the corpse with his little paws in disgust, turned around and rushed directly into the still burning bonfire.
