Chapter 252: Reaching the Top

A few of them tried one by one, and when they saw the sunken gap, they all complained, the orange-sized golden light should be the reflected sunlight, and after taking 5 steps, the observation point was blocked by the stone pillar, which could not be found in any case.

No wonder they used to dig three feet into the ground, and they didn't find anything in the past few years.

Ah Tao thought of a question and was worried again.

"But the peak is a kilometer away from here, even if we know the location, when we get to the bottom of the mountain, how can we find a place?"

"yes!" Su Xiaoting was a little discouraged, even if she held the map, the perspective on the mountain changed a lot, and it would be useless if she couldn't find a place for refraction.

"Ah, do you remember the flag of the port?" Ji Yuning said.

"Flag Language...... You mean? Atao's eyes lit up.

"Yes, there's not much time, Ah Tao, and secondly, you stay here and remember where the light is."

Ji Yuning said repeatedly: "Xiaoting and one of them, let's rush to the other side of Tianchi and find a way to go up." ”

Ah Tao hurriedly said, "Yes, I understand, boss." After a while, when we get to the other side, you can see my flag. ”

He turned to look in the direction of the camp and added, "Green is left, yellow is right." Kindness...... Black is the bottom, white is the top. ”

"Good! That's it. After Ji Yuning finished speaking, he and one of them, Su Xiaoting, returned to the camp to lead the horse.

"Second, come here!" Ah Tao picked up the stone dust from the ground.

"What?"

"Borrow your clothes and don't move!" Ah Tao licked his lips, and the black clothes on his body were just right to mark the location of the light spots.

If he guessed correctly, in a few minutes, the golden light of the year would be gone.

When Ji Yuning and the others rode to the other bank, they really couldn't tell the peak where the golden light was.

Fortunately, there was Ah Tao on the other side, waving a few simple cloth flags to show the way.

Seeing the white flag, Ji Yuning jumped off the horse and tied it to the stone on the side. "Looks like this is it!"

Su Xiaoting looked at the high mountain peak and the snow on the top a little dumbfounded, I don't know what the old city lord thinks, to put this thing on such a steep peak.

At this time, there was a cyan cloud over Tianchi, as if a thin layer of cotton wool was spread, gloomy, and the shadow of the sun had long disappeared.

"Boss, it's too steep here, why don't we climb over the ridge next to it?" One proposed.

Ji Yuning looked at the sky and rejected the proposal, "This mountain peak is very steep, and it takes at least two more hours to walk the ridge." Even so, the highest point still has to be climbed. ”

With a little head, a bundle of finger-thick hemp rope on his back, "That's better from here." ”

Several people brought water bags and chose the middle road to start climbing.

At first, the mountain is not steep, but the slope is long, and it takes 40 minutes to reach the mountainside, and then up the mountain, which is steep on both sides, with a narrow tundra ridge in the middle, and the windy road is difficult to walk.

Fortunately, several people are nimble, use both hands and feet, and climb the second step after half an hour, and go up to the peak like a jade pillar, not only the strange stone is dangerous, the cliff is straight, and there is a feeling of falling into the heavenly pool.

A few people rested here for a while, and Ji Yuning looked at the green dots on the other bank and chose a place to go up the mountain.

Before he had climbed more than ten meters, he suddenly heard one of them shout:

"No, no, no, boss, I'm dizzy~"

When the two of them turned around, they saw one of them sitting in a stone nest, hugging the stone pillar in front of him tightly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"You don't matter, do you?" Su Xiaoting said with concern.

"It's okay, I just don't dare to go up anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down." One of them blushed a little, but he didn't want to be a burden, so he still said it truthfully.

"You go down slowly, don't look back." Ji Yuning said, and then turned to Su Xiaoting, "Xiaoting, your martial arts are still shallow, you don't have to force it to the peak." ”

Su Xiaoting thought about it, but she still couldn't rest assured that Ji Yuning was alone, "I'm still the city lord, it's really not good, I'll come down again." ”

Ji Yuning pondered for a moment, "It's okay, first, give me the rope." ”

One of them threw the rope, "Boss, let Xiaoting follow you, it's too dangerous up there." It is inconvenient for you to look at the direction yourself. ”

His feet are itchy now, and just looking down there will spin around, which is really useless.

Ji Yuning tied the rope around her and Su Xiaoting's waists to prevent her from falling down.

After the two climbed more than 100 meters, they encountered a protruding boulder, and when Ji Yuning climbed, Su Xiaoting turned around to check the color of the flag, but because she didn't step on it, she almost fell.

By the time she gripped the rock wall again, the palm of her right hand was already scorching with pain.

After Ji Yuning dragged her onto the boulder, she saw Su Xiaoting's curled palm, and her brows furrowed, "You rest here for a while, and then take you down when I come back." ”

"City Lord, I'll be fine if I bandage it, just now I almost fell off just to see the flag." Su Xiaoting said as she took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her palm.

"I don't know how long it will take to find there, it's a bit dangerous to be distracted."

Ji Yuning saw that the snow-covered peak was only 300 meters away, "It's better like this, I'll take you up and find a gentle way down from the peak." ”

It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and it's always better to take Su Xiaoting up the mountain.

"You're taking me up?"

"Well, I'm carrying you on my back, and I won't be affected too much."

If it was a few days ago, it might have been a little reluctant, but after the bee venom was cured this time, the body was repaired again, and now it has basically returned to its previous peak state.

"How's that going to work?"

"You have a hand injury, how can you climb? Or will I carry you down after I come down? Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about. ”

Su Xiaoting bit her lip, it seemed that this was the only feasible way at the moment.

"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again~"

Ji Yuning re-tied the hemp rope around the waists of the two, and then gently held Su Xiaoting up, "Hold it tight!" ”

After that, his hands climbed up the straight rock wall like pliers, and his movements stretched, as if he was carrying only a ball of light cotton wool on his back.

Because Ji Yuning couldn't split her hand to lift her, Su Xiaoting could only try to hold on to his shoulder, and her knees were sandwiched between Ji Yuning's waist to avoid hindering Ji Yuning's climbing movements.

Fortunately, there was a rope around her waist, so Su Xiaoting dared to look back from time to time, and the flag was already the size of a mung bean, so as to remind Ji Yuning of the direction of climbing.

I saw that the flags were changing more and more frequently, and Su Xiaoting's heartbeat also accelerated.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew unexpectedly.

The sky, which had been gray just now, changed its face in an instant, and for a while, the wind howled angrily, rolling up the snow particles on the rocks and falling in a torrent.

Ji Yuning's heart froze, and he judged the embarrassing situation he was in, and decided to continue up. When Su Xiaoting looked back, she only saw the snow and mist raised, and she couldn't see the other side clearly.

On the other side of the pond, Ah Tao threw down a simple flag made of tent cloth, "It won't be so unlucky, right?" Why did the snow fog suddenly blow...... It's damn weather! ”
