Chapter 24: The Tornado Strikes
Hua Banxue and Xiao Shi advanced to the Three Sacred Peaks under the guidance of Tashi's guide.
Hua Banxue suddenly sensed a strange existence on the way. She was trying her best to detect the unusual existence when Xiao Shi suddenly said, "Teacher Hua, big brother Tashi, do you feel a sudden coldness?" ”
Although the mountaineering equipment of the three of them is not top-notch, the basic cold protection function is still very complete, which is also what Tashi has repeatedly confirmed when he set off on his trip. But hearing Xiao Shi say this, the three of them really felt a little cold.
Tashi looked at the sky, his expression became solemn, and said, "Strange, the temperature has dropped, it looks like it's going to snow." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a large snowflake fell from the sky.
Tashi said to the two of them helplessly, "We are so unlucky. The weather has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, and we have to hurry back. ”
Xiao Shi thought that Tashi was worried that he was not tolerant of cold, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Tashi, I am in good health, I am not afraid of the cold!" We can keep going. ”
Hua Banxue's mental power scan just had some clues, so naturally he was unwilling to give up easily. Seeing that Tashi's attitude was more resolute, she had no choice but to compromise and say, "Brother Tashi, I see that this snow comes suddenly, will it go quickly?" It's rare to go so far, and it's a shame to return now. Do you want us to rest where we are, wait until the snow stops, and if the weather continues to get worse, let's go back? ”
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the two was very high, Tashi insisted on refusing to return, so he had to frown and agree to rest in place. In fact, he has always felt restless, always feeling that something bad will happen.
Now that he had stopped, Hua Banxue simply concentrated on probing with his spiritual power. But that unusual presence seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and no matter how much she searched, it was nowhere to be found. Just as she was puzzled, Tashi suddenly stood up and looked up at the mountain pass in the distance.
Hua Banxue was also alarmed. She stood up uneasily and asked, "Brother Tashi, is the weather about to change?" ”
Tashi began to pack his things as he said, "Let's go, I'm afraid it's a blizzard." ”
Little Stone also got busy and asked, "Blizzard?" Is Kamiyama angry? ”
Hearing Xiao Shi say this, Hua Banxue chuckled in her heart, she had a bad premonition - could it be that she had caused trouble again with her mental power detection just now?
Tashi comforted the two and said, "Although this blizzard came quickly, it didn't look violent. Don't worry too much, let's get out of here and we'll be fine. As he spoke, he had already packed his backpack and was just about to leave, but he stared in the direction of the mountain pass and did not move.
Hua Banxue and the two followed his gaze towards the mountain pass, only to see a white pillar swaying towards their position from a distance.
Xiao Shi had never seen such a spectacle before, and he asked, "Brother Tashi, what is this?" ”
Hua Banxue suddenly remembered the legend of the snow-capped mountain that Tashi had just narrated, her heart sank, and she asked, "Is this a snow tornado?" ”
"Run! Mount Kamiyama is angry! Tashi shouted as he pulled the two men up and took a step and ran in the direction they had come.
Xiaoshi asked as he ran, "What are we running for such a small tornado?" ”
Before Tashi could reply, as if to refute the small stone, the snowspout, which had looked like the thickness of a telephone pole, looked like it was the thickness of a water tank.
Hua Banxue asked, "Tashi, can we escape?" ”
Tashi was also nervous, saying, "I've been through a lot of blizzards. But this is also the first time I've seen a snow tornado. I just hope that the object of Kamiyama's anger is not us. ”
Hua Banxue was apprehensive in her heart, and she speculated that the existence that her spiritual power probe touched might really be the initiator of this snow storm.
The three of them had clearly felt that the intensity of the wind and snow was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind and snow were also getting heavier.
With difficulty, Tashi led the two towards a col. He said loudly in the wind and snow: "Teacher Hua, we have to carry it to that mountain pass, only there can help us resist the wind and snow a little." ”
Hua Banxue had already tied Xiaoshi's wrist with her own wrist with a rope at this time, she nodded with difficulty, and reluctantly replied against the wind and snow: "Tashi, you lead the way, we will follow you!" ”
Almost instantly, the snowspout was already in sight. The strong wind made it difficult for the three of them to walk.
The three of them had to join hands and bend down to stay where they were, lest they be blown away by the storm.
But the wind was stronger than you could have imagined. The first thing to lose balance in the body is the small stone. His body was light, and his feet were quickly swept off the ground by the wind.
"Teacher Hua!" Even with a strong source field power, Xiao Shi couldn't help but cry out in horror when he encountered this vision of heaven and earth.
"Little stone, don't let go!" Hua Banxue cried out anxiously, and her situation was not optimistic. She could already clearly feel her body slowly floating.
Tashi grabbed the two of them desperately as he took out his pickaxe from his backpack and tried to jam the rocks beside him. But before he could jam the stone, the bodies of the three of them were already sucked up by the snow tornado.
"Tashi!"
"Teacher Hua!"
Since they didn't tie their arms with ropes, Hua Banxue and Tashi's hands that had been clasped were scattered.
The trio soon lost consciousness in the force of the wind.
When Hua Banxue woke up, he was falling into a big snowdrift, and there was no wind and snow around. She hurriedly looked at her wrist and saw that the rope was still there, as was the small stone on the other side of the rope. But Tashi was nowhere to be found.
Hua Banxue endured the pain of tearing her wrist and woke up Xiao Shi.
The two checked their physical condition, and except for the impact when they fell, there was no major problem.
Xiao Shi asked a little frightened, "Teacher Hua, where are we?" Where did Tashi go? ”
Hua Banxue was also at a loss, but she was still relatively calm. She said, "Don't worry. I'll use my psychic power to find Tashi, and if we find him, we'll be able to get out of here. ”
As she spoke, Hua Banxue closed her eyes and concentrated, releasing spiritual energy to probe Tashi's location. But as soon as she released her spiritual power, she realized that something was not right.
For some reason, both the strength and coverage of mental power are far less than before. It can be said that Hua Banxue can only maintain the spiritual power connection with the small stone at present, and as for the detection range, it will not exceed 100 meters.
Hua Banxue didn't give up, she took out two letter stones and held them in her hands, releasing her spiritual power again. To her disappointment, the letter stone also seemed to have lost its effectiveness, and her mental power was not increased at all.
Hua Banxue said to Xiao Shi a little low: "Shi, we seem to have arrived in an unusual place. My source field force has been suppressed and I can't detect it anymore. ”
Xiao Shi showed the strength of a little man, he also tried his source field power, and said, "Teacher Hua, don't worry, my source field power is still there." Now it's up to me to protect you. ”
