Chapter 202: The Spirit Cover is Broken
The tent was about to be broken by the giants outside, could this be the "Snow Millet" that the guide Chu Yi said? Seeing Han Shuna in the ice abyss at night, although she couldn't see it clearly, there was no change in her body shape, the ice cave temporarily collapsed and closed, and it was less than two hours later, even if she climbed out from somewhere else, how could it become so big?
The guide Chu Yi seemed to have mentioned that if he was entangled in the "Snow Millet", the body of the deceased would become fatter and fatter, but what did this sentence mean, before he had time to ask in detail, such a thing suddenly appeared outside the tent, and if he was allowed to hold it down, the tent would have to be overturned, and there would be no tent on the snowy Longding Glacier, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
In order to avoid shooting the tent with a shot, I picked up a trekking pole that was placed on the ground and poked it at the outline of the human face exposed in the canvas.
The entrance to the tent was just blocked, Uncle Ming panicked, and planned to climb out and escape, I quickly grabbed his leg and pressed him to the ground.
The fat man followed my example, picked up a vertical flag for positioning on the glacier, and slapped it twice on the face, and when he saw that it had no effect, he grabbed a Remington casually, and he couldn't figure out what to do if the tent was broken, and fired a shot at close range against the face, and the thing outside the tent was hit by a scattered bullet, and the momentum decreased slightly.
The canvas on the roof of the tent had been shot into a sieve, revealing a lot of white stuff. But I don't know what it is, I just think it's similar to the snow outside, as if the guy outside the tent is a huge snowman.
The fat man continued to shoot, and Peter Huang and Chu Yi and others also took out their guns and shot. But it didn't work, and suddenly the support pole in the tent broke, and the whole tent immediately collapsed, and all seven people were covered underneath.
I thought to myself, this tent is over, the tent is falling apart, and the people inside are pressing their arms and thighs, not to mention trying to run out, even if they struggle to get up, it is very difficult. Although I thought so, my body did not stop, and I tried my best to push away the person who was pressing on me, and quickly got out from under the tent.
Haven't stood up yet. The M1911 had already been pulled out, but the cold wind was howling outside, the snow flakes were dancing, and there was nothing.
Or the guide is familiar with the snow field glacier, aimed in a direction, shooting, we all follow his muzzle aiming, maybe the night has passed, the Longding Glacier is no longer pitch black, the sky is thick dark clouds, and the outline of the surrounding snow peaks become faintly visible, only to see a huge white figure, running towards the white distance against the wind and snow.
That is the snow miller who attacked the tent just now, if it weren't for the first glance of the poison, in this snow, it would be difficult to find its traces, I and the fat man, the first three people, while shooting, while stepping on the snow chased after from behind, so anxious that Shinley Yang shouted behind her: "Don't chase, be careful of the ice cracks under the snow......" But her voice was quickly drowned out by the wind and snow blowing behind her.
The snow on the glacier after a night, has no calves, ran out of less than ten meters, only to see that huge white figure suddenly sank down, disappeared on the snowfield, we then chased to, found that there is also a deep ice cave here, it seems to be connected with the previous ice abyss, but also leads to the nine-story demon tower under the ice slope, on this ancient glacier, I don't know how many such ice caves, the structure under it is complex, it is difficult to figure out with common sense.
As soon as the "Snow Maitreya" was hidden here, we couldn't do anything with it, so we had to rush to the edge of the ice cave and curse a few words, and I asked the fat man the first year, why did the Snow Maitreya just gain the upper hand, but ran away first, what is it? How could it take less than a few hours to turn a woman's corpse into that look?
Chu Yi said that there is no time to talk about these things now, we men are okay to say, but there are still two girls and an old comrade in the team, this time the tent is gone, they can't just stand on the glacier with the wind and snow like this, first find a shelter and safe place to settle down, and then say that the snow Maitreya is not too late, although rest assured, it will not come out as soon as the day dawns, the most terrible thing is to wait until the snow does not stop tonight, the wolves will not retreat, give us a two-sided attack, but it is enough for us to bear.
We went back to the place where the tent had fallen, it was already dawn, but the snow kept going, the tent was finished, so we had to abandon it, the vast snowfield, the surface was covered by heavy snow, but before the ice was completely frozen, it was very dangerous to go far away, there were only a few undulating snow hills nearby, and there was no place to stay.
Shinley Yang said that there is only one place to go now, directly dig up the nine layers of demons, at least dig the top layer first, let's all go there to avoid this wind and snow, and light a fire there, so that the air flow will rise upward, blocking the snow at the entrance, enough to avoid the entrance being covered by snow before the snow stops, and the wolves are afraid of fire and dare not attack easily.
We even called this a good plan, this ice and snow is freezing hard outside, and we want to dig up the nine-story demon tower as soon as possible, no matter what ghost birds are in it, even if it is just to sleep in it for a while. It is good to relieve fatigue, and when you have enough energy, dig out the "glacier crystal corpse" in one go, and then take advantage of the cold wave to freeze the glacier, you can retreat.
Everyone did what they said, transferred all the equipment and materials to the windy side of the snow slope, dug up a large piece of snow, revealing the dark blue ice below, still brushed ginger juice onto the ice, and waited for the infiltration, the first year of the first year told a thing that they heard about two years ago, although it also happened in the deep mountains of Kunlun Mountain, but it was far away from Karamir.
There is an ancient horror legend among the Tibetans that on the snow-capped mountains, every night there will be a kind of monster that lives under the ice to prey on the corpses of those who have just died. They will burrow into the corpse's clothes, and the surface of the corpse will turn white, and the outer surface will seem to be covered with a layer of white flesh, and as the outer layer of flesh continues to absorb, the surface will grow larger and larger, and it can grow to the size of two people combined. It will then gradually shrink with consumption, and in the process, it will continue to bite live humans and animals, and if it does not eat living people for two or three days, it will slowly dry up and wither, spread out again, and burrow into underground glaciers to hide until it finds new dead people. This kind of thing likes to drill into snow ditches and ice pits, and only haunts in the middle of the night, and more than 700 years ago, it once caused a catastrophe. There is a set of "Biography of the Supreme Lama Tsongkhapa" in the sutras of the temple, which has a very detailed account of this matter.
I asked Chu Yi, "It turns out that Snow Maitreya is not a thing, but a group?" A lot of people gathered together?"
At first, he nodded and said, yes, at most, a corpse will be attached to a dozen of that kind of things, only they absorb the flesh and blood of the corpse, and become obese, like a whole clump of fat, layer by layer sticking to the dead people, from a distance it looks like ten very fat snowmen, the local people call it "Snow Maitreya", when the "Snow Maitreya" became a disaster in the past, it was many years ago, because the years are too big, people have gradually forgotten these things.
Until two years ago, there was a very fierce incident, and a lot of people died, because some people from the Dikan team went to work in a place above the snow line in Kunlun Mountain, and as a result, dozens of big snowmen with white flowers and fat were dug out of the snow.
The area where the geological team members were killed, there was an avalanche not long ago, there was a multinational mountaineering team there lost contact with the outside world, the elder monks in the temple said that the fat snowmen encountered by the geological team may be the corpses of the mountaineers who were entangled by the "Snow Millet", and it happened that the top was going to mobilize people to find the missing Cangshan team, as well as the corpses of the geological team members, so the nearby herdsmen and lamas, plus the army, went to a total of 100 people, and searched for five whole days in the snow mountain, but returned in vain.
The only weakness of "Snow Maitreya" is that it can only come out at night, and does not dare to appear even if there is rain and snow during the day.
Chu Yi said to us: "But now we don't have a lot of salt, and there is very little salt, Snow Millet will definitely come back in the evening, and now the wolves must be hiding in a nearby ice ditch to avoid the wind and snow, waiting for the opportunity to sneak over, it seems that there will be a good show on this glacier tonight." ”
The fat man held the sports rifle and said: "It's a pity that the guy doesn't take advantage of it, and the environment in this area is very unfavorable to us, otherwise the fat man will dare to practice with it alone, what snow Maitreya, to me will pinch it into a thin man." ”
There is still some truth in what the fat man said, the glacier covered by heavy snow is full of ice crevice traps, which is very dangerous, and it seems that the only way to dig up the demon under the ice is to see how the environment inside is, maybe it can be used as a supporting fortification.
After a while, the ginger juice had seeped into the ice, and everyone worked together to dig up the ice, five or six meters below, they dug out a large piece of wood similar to the Qilian juniper, and I found the same in the volcano, it is a combination of square wood, logs, and rammed earth.
In order to prevent that there are also "immeasurable karmic fire" and "Dapu ghost insects" under this ice layer, we have made full preparations, but unexpectedly, there is nothing in the first layer of the demon tower, and when you enter it, it looks like a low room built of civil engineering, with black wood, gray and white rammed earth, the tone is very depressing, in this layer, only a huge ice tray is placed on the ground, the ice tray is transparent, a very thin layer, there is a god statue engraved on the surface, it seems that if you want to dig down, you have to break this ice disk.
Shinley Yang looked at the statue, it was a human wolf head, the image of a military general wearing battle armor, the wolf head was white, and the armor was silver, this image seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and when he was thinking about it, Uncle Ming and the others also went down to the tower one after another.
At this time, in order to find a suitable place to rest as soon as possible, Chu Yi and the fat man had already started to beat the ice tray with an ice chisel, but when they heard the sound, they didn't quite right, and then took off their gloves and touched them with their hands, not ice, but a large round crystal.
Uncle Ming was also watching the fat man and others talk, this demon tower was extremely dim, so I didn't see the wolf head carving, and when we got closer to check the disc material, the spotlights on the mountaineering helmet were shining on it, Uncle Ming followed and saw it, his face suddenly changed color, and he hurriedly took out the scripture of the reincarnation sect, pointed to the wolf head demon god on the crystal plate and said, this iceberg crystal stone cannot be destroyed, there is the curse of the white wolf demon slave of the country, as soon as it is broken, the curse will come out.
I shook my head and didn't believe it, in the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", there is an explanation of the layout of the nine-story demon tower, I have also seen it in the volcano, this layer can not have any beauty, this iceberg crystal stone disk, the left should be a kind of tower burial decoration called "Linggai", each layer is connected to the place.
But I'm not sure what the difference is between "curse" and "mechanism", this kind of time, even if I believe Uncle Ming's words, it's too late, the crystal plate engraved with the wolf's head demon slave has been chiseled and cracked just a few times, and it will be broken with just one more touch.
