Chapter 162: Climbing
Yes! This west road of Death Valley is the gate to the plains behind the mountains in front of us, and the plains behind the mountains in front of us......
"Has no one ever climbed this mountain?"
I pointed to the mountains in front of us and asked Amuguro.
"I haven't heard of it anyway."
Amu Gulang shook his head decisively.
"In the eyes of local residents, Death Valley is a forbidden place, only there are some nomads living on the side of the valley, so not to mention this mountain, there are almost no local residents who enter Death Valley from the west side of the road."
I nodded and looked straight at the mountains in front of us.
According to Amukuro's meaning, the local residents should not have entered the other side of this mountain, so what kind of mysterious realm is this other side of the mountain where there are pranya flowers and the so-called 'gate'?
Did Xiaoling's brother and X, who held Xiaoling hostage, also crossed the mountains and entered the plain behind the mountains?
And the person who led me all the way and took Fang Jin's soul was also waiting for me behind the mountains?
I took a deep breath, although there are not many exact clues, I shouldn't infer it on my own, but after thinking about it for a while, I feel that there is a great possibility that Brother Xiaoling and the person who took Fang Jin's soul are behind the mountain in front of us.
Why? It's simple, because they venture into Death Valley from the west road, and their goal, how can they go around the mountains to the mouth of Death Valley?
Their target, of course, will only be the plain behind the mountains, plus there are Pranya flowers in the plains, and the person who took Fang Jin's soul led me to see the crazy Xiaoling, who wanted me to investigate Xiaoling's case, that is, that I entered the plain behind the mountains to find the Pranya flower!
So, if nothing else, the person who took away Fang Jin's soul must be waiting for me at the place of the Prajna flower in the plain behind the mountain, that's for sure!
Of course, on the map that the little boy drew for me, there are not only Prajna flowers in the mountains and plains, but also the so-called 'gates'......
The person who took Fang Jin's soul, of course, couldn't just lead me to find the Pranya flower and cure Xiaoling, he led me into the plain behind the mountains, and eighty percent of it was related to that 'gate'......
The door is going to be opened, and the contents cannot be allowed to come out, and they will be ruined......
Whether it is the mad tourists that Amu Gulang has received, or the little boy with the tiger body, they have clearly put forward the thing of 'door', which shows that the crazy tourists are not talking nonsense.
So, what is this 'gate' in the plain behind the mountains? What does that mean, or is it really just a door?
Of course, I can't speculate, but I feel a vague uneasiness in my heart.
The most mysterious forbidden in Kunlun. In the valley of death, there is an area that humans have not yet set foot in, and we must enter that area now......
What awaits us, no one knows......
Taking a deep breath to adjust his mind to keep himself calm, he turned his head to look at Zhou Fang and the Wang team and Amu Gulang, there was no accident, the three of them were all marching with steps, and they were all staring at the direction of the mountains in front of them.
"Sunrise soon, right? According to Brother Jiang's plan, we have to speed up. ”
At this time, Team Wang took over and spoke.
I took out my phone and looked at it, only to find that it was already half past four in the morning.
"It's really time to pick things up."
After putting away the mobile phone, Zhou Fang and Amu Gulang didn't say anything, and followed me and the Wang team to speed up their march.
As we walked towards the mountains, I only noticed that the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.
Looking up at the sky from time to time, I didn't find thunderclouds, and the reason why the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger is simply because the temperature in this Death Valley is decreasing and the weather is changing.
Of course, my heart became more and more uneasy, until after half an hour or so, we finally came to the bottom of the mountain.
This is the first time I have looked up at such a majestic mountain, and I only sigh that man is nothing in front of nature.
"Amu Guro ......"
I looked at Amu Guro and pointed to the right side of the mountain.
"Since the back of this mountain is forbidden in the eyes of you Kunlun people. Then you don't have to follow us over, just like your Abba said, go around the mountain on the right side of this mountain, and go to the mouth of Death Valley, which should be safe. ”
"No, no, no......"
Amu Guro shook his head, stared at me deeply, and then looked at the top of the highest mountain in the mountains. End.
"I've never entered this Death Valley from this west road, and I just heard my father say that you can go to the mouth of Death Valley by walking on the right side of the road, so I'll follow you, it's not a good thing to walk alone in Death Valley."
"Have you figured it out?
Behind this mountain, there is probably a boundary that no man has ever set foot in, and the danger is self-evident. ”
I replied, staring straight into the eyes of Amukuro, who was always looking at the highest peak of the mountain in front of us. End.
"I think very clearly, I will follow you ......"
Amu Gulang replied, retracting his gaze at the high mountains. Feng's gaze stared at me deeply again.
"Just let me follow you, it's good for you."
I frowned as I listened, and all I could think was that Amu Gulang seemed to have something to say, and just then, a ray of light broke through the night of Death Valley and rose from the east side of Death Valley.
The dawn is breaking, which means that our progress is already behind schedule.
So, without persuading Amu Gulang any more, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the shortest slope of the mountain in front of him, where the peaks were connected.
"Just climb over this hillside, everyone be careful."
Everyone nodded, and I took out my pickaxe and walked to the lowest slope of the mountain I pointed to.
He stopped at the bottom of the hill and looked up, and saw that the top of the lowest hill should be forty or fifty meters high from the ground where we were at this time, and the slope became steeper and steeper the higher he went, but fortunately, like the valley of the West Road before, was full of jagged rocks and easy to climb.
Taking a deep breath, he asked the king team to take out the rope, tie it around his waist with the others, and then climb the craggy slope with the help of a mountaineering pickaxe.
All the way up, bury your head and climb until the light of dawn becomes more and more intense, until the whole mountain gradually becomes clear.
As I looked up at the mountains as I climbed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
When I was down the hill before, the sky was not very clear and I couldn't see the mountains, but after the dawn, the sun returned to darkness, and I was able to see the whole mountain, only to find that above the mountain, there was a snow-white ......
Yes! Above this mountain, no matter which peak it was, or the top of the shortest slope that we had climbed at this time, was a snow-white one, and it was evident that a large amount of snow had formed because of the falling snow.
Of course, this hinders our climbing, at least we can no longer tell with the naked eye which places there are protruding rocks that allow us to climb upwards.
"Everyone, be careful!"
I glanced back at the people behind me who were also climbing on the slope.
"There is snow on it, you must watch it before acting, don't fall down!"
Everyone nodded in response, and I didn't get distracted anymore and went back to focus on my climb.
After a while, I also entered the snow-covered area of the slope, and every time I swung my pickaxe, I had to be extremely cautious to make sure that the pickaxe passed through the snow on the slope and killed the mountain covered by the snow before continuing upward.
As a result, my ascent was much slower, but fortunately, there were no accidents, and I gradually approached the top of the hill with my pickaxe swinging again and again.
However, as I approached the top of the hill and brandished my pickaxe again, something I hadn't thought of happened.
Maybe it's because the snow on the top of the slope has piled up into a whole block, and I just climbed with a pickaxe to loosen the whole piece of snow, and when I swung the pickaxe again and smashed the snow above, although my pickaxe still passed through the snow and bit the wall under the snow, the whole piece of snow fell off directly in the range of my pickaxe and fell down to me.
"Be careful!"
I shouted and turned my head to look at the people climbing below, but I found that there was no one on the climbing route below me, and I was supposed to follow Amu Gulang behind me to the left behind me, Wang Team and Zhou Fang.
This made me frown, because when I turned around just now, Amu Gulang was still clearly following behind me, but now, he went to the left of me where Zhou Fang and the Wang team were located, as if ...... It's as if he knew that my climb would cause snow to fall, so he avoided it in advance.
But how could he have known that my ascent would cause the snow to fall in pieces?
"It's good that little brother Amugulang told us to keep to the left, otherwise we would be unlucky."
The Wang team beside Amu Gulang opened his mouth, and I frowned again and glanced at Amu Gulang vividly.
However, at this glance, I only noticed that Amu Guro did not look at me at all, nor at the falling snow, but looked straight up at the side of the mountain above us, and of course the summit of the highest mountain in the mountain.
This made me even more uneasy, I only felt that Amu Gulang seemed to be hiding something from us, although he entered the west road passively, but he crossed the mountains to the plains behind the mountains, but he took the initiative......
I couldn't figure it out, and I followed Amu Gulang's line of sight, and looked up at the highest mountain in the mountains above us.
It was a snowy roof in the sun, with a faint glare of light, but there seemed to be something moving in the snowy roof that turned out to be dazzling......
Yes! Although it was too high and the snow refracted the sunlight, it was impossible to see the situation on the top of the snow on the highest mountain, but I could faintly see that something seemed to be shaking on the top of the snow......
The uneasiness in his heart turned ominous, and Zhou Fang's voice suddenly came from behind him, with a sense of horror and eagerness.
"Jiang Wangsheng! You...... What's in front of you? ”
I chuckled and quickly looked in front of me, and just as I could see what was happening in front of me, I almost didn't let go of my grip on the pickaxe.
Because I only saw that right in front of me, the snow that had just fallen off from the pickaxe was about to ...... A human corpse appeared!
Yes! That's right! A human corpse on the slope wall after the snow fell!
I took a deep breath to compose myself and stared at the corpse with wide eyes.
Like us, he wore a cold-proof suit, and he also held a mountaineering pickaxe like us, and his mountaineering pickaxe was also tightly chiseled into the slope wall, and the whole person hung on the slope wall...... Wait a minute!
My heart trembled, because I looked at the upper body of this human corpse, and found that the upper body of this human corpse ...... No head......
Yes! This corpse has no head! Or rather, the corpse was decapitated and died!
A man like us, wearing a winter suit and holding a pickaxe, climbed to the top of the slope, died on the wall of this slope because of beheading, and remained here forever......
