Chapter 168: The Snow That Can't Be Erased
Through a dense poplar forest, we managed to reach our destination, where a sign was erected.
The sign has been blown upside down by the wind, but the handwriting printed with paint on it is still clearly visible: "Enter the no-man's land, no passengers are allowed to enter, otherwise you will bear the consequences"
I was stunned when I saw this, the place we were in was just under this steep cliff, it looked like a dry ditch, there was a poplar forest on top, and walking back was the entrance of Changbai Mountain, how did we get here is no man's land?
"This sign is not set up by the local tourism bureau" Haldan stepped forward with a blank face, pumped the sign in the mud hard, and then took two steps to change places and reinserted it into the soil.
In this way, the brand will not look so fragile, and from this position, it is even more conspicuous.
"Who set it up?" I was a little curious, and when I saw that Hardan had crossed the ditch without paying attention and walked deeper ahead, I followed closely with the Wheel King.
Hardan didn't answer my words, but took out a military shovel from his bag and held it tightly in his hand.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be on guard, deliberately slowed down a few steps, this guy in front of me looked like an honest man, the ghost knows what he was thinking in the next second, be careful.
The ground under my feet was a little loose, probably because the ditch was dry, the weather was really hot and dead, I looked at the military coat in my hand, a little speechless.
After passing through the ditch, it is estimated that I have stepped into this so-called no-man's land for about 300 meters, and it looks like autumn yellow all the way, but the more I go inside, the more I feel that the surrounding environment is beginning to change.
This change is not a sudden change, but like a molting python, it takes off its coat little by little.
The land we had stepped on, and the poplar forests around us, were covered with a grain of snow that could only be seen in winter, which made my eyes a little uncomfortable, but it was completely overshadowed by the surprise in my heart.
Because I actually began to feel a chill coming from outside my body, I couldn't help but shiver.
I didn't ask about Haldan directly, I first draped the military coat on my body, and it was not until the cold feeling gradually faded that I looked at the Wheel King, realized that he was walking beside me, and handed me his military coat.
I saw that there was not the slightest discomfort between his eyebrows, but his face was ruddy, and he did not seem to resist the cold environment, and I was only a mortal, so I had to nod my head for the sake of the rest of the process, and took the coat and draped it over my body.
In this way, the cold that my body could not bear completely disappeared, and my mind cleared up a little.
"I'll be on it later," said Haldan, looking back at us with a look of surprise at the Wheel King, as he pointed to a snow-covered mountain not far away.
"Climb aboard?" I had some questions, and as soon as I was about to ask, Hardan nodded and quickened his pace without any delay.
"Be careful, I feel weird in this place" The Wheel King's voice rang in my ears, and he followed me to be safe if something happened.
I nodded, wrapped up my clothes, and quickened my pace.
After walking about a few dozen steps, the snow was obviously falling above my head, and my whole hair was dyed white, and if there was a mirror in front of me, maybe I would not hesitate to sigh at my handsomeness.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse myself in my heart, now that it's such a juncture, I really shouldn't think about these things that I don't have, so I reached out and beat the snow on my head.
"Don't move" As soon as it touched my already frozen hair, it was interrupted by a cold snort from the Wheel King.
"What's wrong?" I paused and asked.
The Wheel King walked in front of me, shook it with one hand, and the snow on his hand condensed into an ice mirror, reflecting my handsome appearance.
"What are you?" I squinted at him, looking at him for some reason.
"You shake your hair," the Wheel King said coldly.
I nodded, not understanding his intentions, but shaking my head like a dog.
"And then," I was about to ask him why, but when I stopped, I caught a glimpse of myself in the ice mirror—the whiteness of my hair was intact.
"This" I was startled, frowned, and looked at the Wheel King, but he was not stained with any white at all, and still kept his clothes clean.
"Just use your whisk to go," the Wheel King said, looking ahead and motioning for me to keep along, "but I don't mind you doing that."
With that, he pointed to Haldan in front of him.
I followed his gaze and found that Haldan's coat was long gone, only wearing a thin shirt, and I could vaguely see that his exposed ** had all turned white.
This white snow can actually melt into people's blood?
"Keep up, what are you doing!" Haldan suddenly turned his head to us and said a word, his eyes full of sorrow had turned white, even with his tongue open.
"Let's go, wait and see" The Wheel King didn't take any measures, I think he probably thought it was no big deal, so he had to continue walking as if nothing happened.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Hardan bent his waist and climbed step by step with the military shovel in his hand, and his thin body and coat made me a little unbearable.
In order to conceal our identities, the Wheel King and I followed his example and pretended to be extremely difficult to start climbing.
In my mind's mind, we reached the top of the mountain only a hundred paces away, and it was then that I realized that this mountain was just a small minion of many peaks.
We stood on the top of the hill and looked at the pool surrounded by mountains at our feet.
The pool was already frozen, and it seemed that the temperature was so low that no living creature could survive, and I think if an ordinary person had stepped into it, it would have frozen into ice in just three seconds.
"This is 'Tianchi'" Hardan said, as he threw the military shovel in his hand forward.
I thought that the military shovel would undoubtedly fall towards the "Tianchi" below under my gaze, but to my surprise, this thing was actually frozen in mid-air.
"I'm here," I took a deep breath, patted my chest, and said tremblingly, "Why is the temperature in this hellish place different from the outside?" ”
"It's early," Hardan sighed, pulling out a jar of hot water from his backpack and pouring it straight over his head.
The hot water smoky his whole body, and it wasn't until the steam cleared that his body was back to normal.
"Why are you okay again?" I smacked my lips, wasn't this guy frozen like that?
With just a dossip of hot water, the indelible snow was gone, and now it seemed that the cold temperature was no longer harmful to him.
"This is the water I brought out of the Heavenly Pool, as soon as I leave this place, the water will become hot, and it will not lose its temperature for a long time" Haldan threw the jar into his bag and said, "If you want to come here and not get frozen into lumps, you must use this method"
