Chapter 481: Aurora

After a night's rest in Anchorage, Ling Xiao and Hand continued to fly north, but instead of flying directly to Fairbanks, they hovered at the summit of Mount McKinley halfway through.

Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America, near the Arctic Circle, with an altitude of 6,193 meters, is the most difficult mountain to climb in addition to Mount Everest, the highest peak on the seven continents, until 1913, no one successfully reached the summit, and since then the record of summit has been very few.

Today's weather is not good, the weather is gloomy, the peak of Mount McKinley is very windy and snowy, even if it is just October, coupled with the sharp peak, the butterfly flying machine can not land at all, and Ling Xiao has no intention of letting the plane land.

The plane hovered above the peak, Ling Xiao opened the hatch and jumped straight down, while Hande drove the plane and left here immediately.

You know, although the height of Mount McKinley is not as high as that of Mount Everest, its temperature is -60°C, which is the coldest mountain in the world!

Even if the butterfly-shaped flying machine of Ling Xiao concentrates the most advanced technology on the earth, it may not be able to withstand it for long at this temperature, and can only land on the flat ice field near the mountainside.

This is a very clean world, majestic snow peaks, blue ice puddles, standing on the top of the peak, close observation of the mottled and detailed texture on the snow-capped mountains, the magnificent beauty is shocking, you know, this is thousands of years ago, the ice and snow has been formed.

The reason why Ling Xiao came to this place was mainly to determine whether there was a spatial passage here, and to know if it was because the timing of the arrival was wrong, or whether the physical body was no longer there, and he could not borrow the ability of the Blue Devil Wagner's spatial teleportation, and he could not feel the special fluctuations of the spatial passage from it.

It may also be that there is no such thing here, according to Ling Xiao's own analysis, if he wants to open the spatial channel, it is impossible to determine the target here, and it also requires a lot of energy, and the naturally formed spatial channel requires thousands of years of continuous energy impact.

For example, in Death Valley, during the day, the stability of the core area of Death Valley can reach more than 60 degrees, and at night, the temperature will drop rapidly to about 10 degrees.

Here, the temperature is low all year round, and the space barrier will become frozen due to the temperature, and only when the temperature is low enough to exceed a certain limit, the space barrier will become brittle, and then through special methods, the space barrier can be opened.

Of course, these are Ling Xiao's own analysis and speculation, he sat in the cold wind on the top of the mountain all night, until dawn the next day, he came down from the top of the mountain, this place may not be suitable for him, he stayed all night, he didn't gain anything, he had to leave.

The plane continued to fly north, flying over the snow-capped mountains, the ice and snow slowly thawed, the ice and snow gradually replaced the sparse green grass, the ice fountain nourished the sky trees from the horizon rapidly faded, and the vigorous vitality was all replaced by desolation and desolation.

In Alaska, the further north you go, you'd better drive along the road, even if it's an airplane, especially in this autumn and winter, when there are few people on the desolate land, and if you don't pay attention, you will get lost, especially the plane, the closer you get to the Arctic Circle, the greater the impact of the aurora on the signal.

Ling Xiao didn't book a room in Fairbanks in advance, he didn't want to wait for himself to get there, there were government agents everywhere, although he had a way to get rid of these stalkers, but it was better to avoid some trouble after all.

The plane finally landed in a manor in the north of the city, who would have thought that Tony Stark also had a manor here, that bastard guy has his own property in almost every state in the United States, and his wealth can be seen.

Ling Xiao had already greeted Stark before he came, so when the plane landed, the butler who had been waiting in the manor for a long time took the two of them to a small two-story wooden building, and everything was already ready inside.

Inside the small building, there are animal specimens such as ice deer and ice bears, thick quilts, and hot stoves, you know, even if it is just autumn, the maximum temperature here during the day will not exceed ten degrees, and it is normal for the temperature to be below zero all day in bad weather.

This two-story building has two bedrooms, four guest rooms, a large living room, kitchen, bathroom, miscellaneous room, and the refrigerator has long been full of food.

In the entire manor, there is not only such a building as this two-story building, Tony and Pepper have their own love nest here, and they have no intention of providing it to Ling Xiao, once it comes to something, Tony Stark's person is very stingy.

The food was made by Hande himself, and the taste was not bad, Ling Xiao just tasted every dish and put down the knife and fork in his hand.

He is now just a divine soul body, and it is okay to taste it, after which all the food will be refined, and the impurities will be expelled from the body.

Coming to Asgard is just a pretense, but even if it is a pretense, there are some things that must be done.

In Fairbanks, there are more than 200 aurora nights a year, which is located in the aurora belt, and from October to April of the following year, it is the best time to observe the aurora, and the good observation environment also makes Fairbanks known as the "aurora capital".

After nightfall, a faint aurora appears in the sky of Fairbanks, and as time goes on, at around 1 a.m., the aurora erupts.

The dark green aurora, with a dark red luster, spreads out on the blue sky for hundreds of kilometers, like a green silk that covers half of the sky, and is constantly swaying in the sky over Alaska by the wind blowing from the sun.

When the purple-red green light passed through the entire sky, a poem flashed in Ling Xiao's mind: Parasitic mayflies in the heavens and the earth, a bunch of misty seas.

Before Sa Furong Hand, who was standing beside Ling Xiao, could react, he saw a golden light rise from the ground and soar into the sky.

One thousand meters, three thousand meters, ten thousand meters, fifty kilometers, the speed of the golden light finally began to slow down, and when he flew to sixty or seventy kilometers, he finally felt a little lacking in strength, and in desperation, he had to give up, turned into a streamer, and fell back to the ground.

Most auroras occur 90---130 kilometers above the Earth. But some of the aurora borealis are much higher, and in 1959, according to records, a Northern Lights measured at a height of 160 kilometers and a width of more than 4,800 kilometers.

Standing at the edge of the wooden house, a trace of loss flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, his current divine soul flight mainly relied on the Guanxiao Sword, but the Guanxiao Sword may not have been completely refined by him so far, and the height of the upward flight could not guarantee that Ling Xiao could touch the existence of the aurora.

If it was replaced by the Obscure Sword, Ling Xiao would have been in the aurora at this time, of course, a simple divine soul flight could also be reached, but there was no divine soul to rely on, and it would not be long before he was surrounded by the power of the Yuan Magnetism in the aurora, and finally exhausted.

Since you can't touch the aurora, you can only enjoy this beautiful scenery over there, looking ethereal like a light ribbon from afar, still like ocean waves, and feeling like you are in a dream!

After a few days in Fairbanks, when the federal government finally found out that Ling Xiao had stayed at Stark's private estate, Ling Xiao set off again, flying the plane along the famous Dalton Highway, visiting the Yukon River, the fifth largest river in North America, visiting the oil pipeline that runs north and south of Alaska, and finally arriving at the Arctic Circle sign at 66 degrees north latitude in Alaska.

If you take a group photo here, you will receive an Arctic Circle Expedition Certificate when you return to Fairbanks, which is the end point of the average tourist heading north.

And Ling Xiao just glanced at the Arctic Circle sign, and then went straight north, entered the Arctic Circle, and entered this world without mobile phone signal.

If before entering the Arctic Circle, the road on the ground can still show you the way, then after entering the Arctic Circle, even the road is covered with layers of snow, and the whole world is white, fortunately, the satellite signal is still operating normally, otherwise once you get lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
