Chapter 424: The Night Emperor
"Look, all those kobolds from last night died here!"
Not long after we walked forward, we found the dozen or so ko-headed eagles that attacked us last night, although they had foreseen the potential danger here, but in the end they did not escape from the minefield, but were struck by lightning and died here. Huo Ran Wen ?? ??. r?a?n?? e?n`org
“¥%#……”
After seeing the corpses of these dog-headed eagles in front of him, Kasongira fell on the ground again and muttered, as if praying for the blessing of these dead sacred birds?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I observed my surroundings; I found that the dense fog that filled the air in front of us was much thinner, indicating that we were about to get out of this obstacle! And on top of that, I saw a few huge footprints, which looked like they were left by the giants who lived here!
"Boom ......"
By the time Kasongira stood up and continued to walk with us, the sky began to thunder again, and we hurried to speed up our pace to prevent a recurrence of what had happened last night.
"Boom ......"
Seeing that he was about to cross the obstacle, suddenly there was a dull loud noise in the huge canyon; But this time it didn't seem to be the sound of thunder, but the sound of some kind of giant animal running.
"Look, giant!"
The sharp-eyed Xiao Qinyao screamed, raised his hand and pointed ahead, and then we saw a snow-white and immaculate valley in front of us, and a white giant more than three meters tall was running in the snow in a panic, and in the blink of an eye, it turned over a small hill and disappeared.
"Quick, get out of this barrier!"
Intuitively, I always felt that the creatures living here could anticipate potential dangers here; The previous dog-headed eagle was like this, and so should the giant who escaped in front of him; So, thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted to the crowd and sped up to the snow.
"Boom ......"
Sure enough, not long after we ran out of the obstacle, a huge lightning bolt struck down from the sky and struck the canyon behind us, and even we could feel the tingling sensation of the electricity passing through our bodies as we stood so far.
"It's so strange, why is it still sunny in this place?"
A murmur in the woods pulled me back from the shock of the lightning, and when I looked closely, I saw that the sky was blue, and the sun was shining warmly on us.
"Maybe that's what makes Death Valley unique!"
I went back to the forest in a daze, looking at the white snow and the equally white snow peaks in the distance, and I didn't expect that after breaking the barrier, we would be presented with such a refreshing scene.
It's a pity that we are not here to travel and adventure, nor are we here to enjoy comfort on vacation; Therefore, after seeing this snow-white expanse, we did not stay too long, but followed the footprints of the giant to explore the past.
The reason why we did this is only because in this snow-capped Kunlun Mountain, we don't have any references, and grandma didn't leave any clues for us, so all we can do at present is to find out the situation here first.
After climbing the snow-covered hill, we were greeted by a large deep valley with several snow caves, and several giants were lazily lying in the sun outside the caves.
“#¥¥%……”
When Kasongira saw the situation in the deep valley, he seemed to remember something, and muttered to Solang Wangdui beside him.
"Kasongira says that these giants are a bit like the legendary Night Emperor who lives in the snowy mountains, so let's not disturb them!"
After listening to Kasongira's words, Solang Wangdui translated the meaning of Kasongjila to us.
"The Night Emperor? Could this be the kind of snow monster that is rumored? ”
After Fan Chenzi understood the name of the Night Emperor, he immediately glanced into the deep valley in surprise, and said to himself.
"Senior, what the hell is this Night Emperor?"
I looked at Fan Chenzi's solemn face, I don't know what I remembered? So I consulted him.
"The Night Emperor...... I also read it from the newspaper, and it is said that ......"
When Fan Chenzi saw the rest of us, they all looked at him, wanting to know what the Night Emperor was? So he told us about it.
Fan Chenzi tells us that the Night Emperor is a kind of Himalayan snowman, and in the places where it has been haunted, some people call it a snowman, a snow demon, a wild man, a snow monster, etc.!
The legend of the Night Emperor has always been confusing in history. For decades, countless scientists and explorers at home and abroad have traveled thousands of miles to the Himalayas to try to find traces of the snowman and uncover the mystery, but the conclusion has been inconclusive. But there are many versions of the legend of the Night Emperor!
In 1938, Captain Ovigu, then the director of the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, was traveling alone in the Himalayas when he was suddenly hit by a strong snowstorm. The intense light of the snow kept his eyes open, and he had nothing to do to call for help, so Ovigu could only wait for himself to turn into a stiff corpse.
Just as he was close to death, he suddenly felt that he was covered by an animal nearly three meters tall and saved his life. Slowly, his consciousness became clear, but the three-meter-tall animal mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a smell like a fox odor when he left.
Later, Captain Ovigu, who narrowly escaped with his life, checked the information and learned that the animal that protected him was the legendary Night Emperor.
And another story about the snowman saving people takes place in 1975. It is said that a Nepalese Sherpa girl was chopping firewood in the mountains as usual, but did not realize that a fierce snow leopard in the distance had been quietly following her for more than ten minutes.
When the girl relaxed her vigilance, the snow leopard suddenly launched a fierce attack, but unexpectedly, a fierce white-haired animal suddenly rushed out and fought to the death with the snow leopard. The girl was able to flee back to the village. Obviously, this white-haired animal is the legendary Yeti Night Emperor.
Later, a scientist in our country gave a definition of the mysterious Night Emperor; He compared the footprints of the Night Emperor with the footprints of ordinary apes, and thought that the Yeti Night Emperor was more like an ape.
He speculated that the ancient giant ape was not really extinct, and that one of its branches spread to the snow-capped mountain region and became a mysterious snowman. And the snowmen have not yet shown the ability to speak, only emitting a vague sound, and they do not seem to have walked through the doors of humans yet. But some scholars deny the existence of snowmen. They believe that the footprints of the legendary snowman may have been the footprints of a bear, or they could have been caused by the rockfall on the mountain after the snow melted.
To this day, although numerous Yeti expeditions have ventured deep into the Himalayas in search of Yeti tracks, they have found almost nothing but a few giant footprints. They hadn't taken a single picture of the snowman, and no one had a specimen of the snowman, so whether the snowman actually existed remains a mystery to this day.
