The fat man spoke a little excessively, but Gao Chao didn't want to stop the fat man, he was a little secretly happy, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what the fat man said.

Wasti was not displeased, but he smiled and said, "My dear friend, if you also herd sheep in the Pamirs every day and watch those goats climb up the different slopes to the top, I think you will also have this ability." ”

Xia Qing nodded and said: "The Tajiks have been semi-nomadic since ancient times, they mainly live on animal husbandry, before liberation, there were only sheep here, and later with the help of the government, they began to raise a large number of yaks, but grazing is still their main life, so you two ......"

As Xia Qing spoke, he glanced at Gao Chao and the fat man, and continued: "Don't be unconvinced, climbing with the Tajiks on the Pamir Plateau is like swimming with fish in the water, you better listen to Aseti more." ”

As soon as Xia Qing said this, Gao Chao and the fat man's faces immediately turned red, although the two of them were still unconvinced, but the two of them also knew that as a Tajik Aseti, he did have some special skills in mountaineering.

Ignoring them, Essetti had already walked towards the side of the mountain, and had chosen a large rock, from which he had climbed a few steps.

Then he stood on the rock, waved his hand at the three people on this side, and shouted, "Friends, we have to hurry, we must hurry up while there is still the sun in the sky." ”

Esetti is right, although the sun is still in the sky, it is already close to the western horizon. Just another hour. It's definitely going to get dark.

So Gao Chao reluctantly got up from the ground. The two of them glanced at each other, and each sighed and walked towards Aceti.

Xia Qing followed last, but she looked up at the stone slab on the mountainside, and there seemed to be a trace of excitement in her eyes.

In this way, the four of them, carrying their duffel backpacks, began to climb upwards. This time was different from the last time, when they climbed the dam from the bottom of the valley before, they took a much easier route than this, so at that time, Gao Chao was always in front, and the last person was Aseti.

But now the situation is different, not to mention the steepness of the mountain, there is no way to see where there is a road, so Essati has always been in front of the people, first, to show them the way, and second, to be in the process of ascent. Master the rhythm of the march.

There is a saying in the wild that only in the face of difficulties. That's when you think of the guide.

That's a good point.

Thanks to the presence of Essati, he was like a goat on this steep mountain, and the fat man followed him, and thanks to his help and guidance, it seemed that he could also navigate such a steep and complex mountain wall with ease.

After hard work, the group really completed the impossible task, and they had reached the position of the stone slab on the mountainside before dark.

Although tired, but no one dared to relax, everyone came closer, only to find that the stone slab above the slope is not big, about three or four meters wide, but those bright red as blood of the river, but from this stone slab, there is a gloomy feeling.

It was getting late, it was already very dark, and Essetti was at the front to cheer everyone on, he was the first to climb the stone slab from the side, but fortunately the red water did not flow down the side, so Essetti did not have to worry about him coming into contact with the red water.

Immediately afterwards, it was the fat man, then Xia Qing, and the last one was Gao Chao, and everyone climbed the stone slab one after another.

When Gao Chao was the last to climb up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that at any rate, it seemed that this red river had now been conquered by them.

The moment he stood up, he found that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, because he didn't see the crowd cheering for crossing the river, but the three people in front of him were all standing in place, facing forward, as if they were all stunned.

Gao Chao was puzzled, and hurriedly looked ahead, but at this glance, he was also stunned.

Not far in front of them, at the end of the stone slab, there was a stone door.

Gao Chao quickly calmed down, and then carefully observed the stone gate again.

He found that the door was already open, and it was black and rumbling inside, not wide, only more than a meter, so it looked more like a small cave, but it was indeed a door, because although the door was not wide, it was quite high, almost two meters too high, and the top of the door was arc-shaped, and the doorposts on both sides were also clearly visible, so at a glance, it must have been carved out by hand.

And the most amazing thing is not the gate itself, they and their group only then found that the original red as blood river water actually flowed out of this gate.

The amount of water did not seem so great here, but it was not small, and it was very fast, and the river came out of the gate, and flowed directly on the flat stone slab, and then poured down from the mountainside into the great river in the valley, which dyed the great river red.

Seeing such a situation, many people were puzzled.

The fat man couldn't help but be shocked in front of him: "It seems that this blood river is really artificial, maybe it really has something to do with that blood coffin." ”

Gao Chao pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this stone gate has existed for a long time, but why did the water flow out last night?" ”

Xia Qing said: "It doesn't have to be that the water came out last night, maybe there was water all the time before, but it turned red last night." ”

The fat man listened: "No matter what color it is, in short, it is very evil, maybe behind this stone gate, is the location of the blood coffin." ”

Xia Qing's face was no longer good-looking, and she glanced at the fat man, perhaps because the fat man had already mentioned the "blood coffin" twice.

Gao Chao wasn't looking at Xia Qing, because he was now looking at Esetti.

I saw that Esati seemed to be a little abnormal, and he barely said a word, but walked slowly towards the stone gate.

Gao Chao saw that he was about to walk into the turbulent river, so he hurriedly shouted: "Esetti! Be careful! ”

But his reminder was still half a beat late, and although Essetti was startled, one of his legs had already stepped into the river of blood, and then he didn't stand firm on one foot, as if he had slipped a little, and the whole person fell on the stone slab next to the stone gate.

In an instant, Esati was already surrounded by the turbulent blood and water, and was directly washed out, and he was about to fall off the stone slab and fall off the cliff a hundred meters high.

At this moment, when it was too late, Gao Chao pounced and threw himself into the bloody water.

He actually grabbed the arm that Aiseti waved when he was struggling, and the two hands were tightly clasped together, and Gao Chao began to pull Aiseti back desperately.

But the speed of the water was too fast, although Gao Chao caught Aseti, but at this moment, the two of them were being washed down by the river. (To be continued.) )
