"I don't know if we'll be able to reach the top of the mountain if we go all the way up from here." I said as I observed my surroundings.

"Did you just run into those people chasing us? That's what they shot at that arrow, right? Yue Ningmei asked.

"yes!" Then I remembered that she probably hadn't seen the person who attacked her, "Judging from the current position, they must have walked up from this way." ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but lift my spirits, not only because I thought of the opportunity to reach the top of the mountain smoothly, but also because I might be able to meet the kid who released the dark arrow, so that I could teach him a lesson!

But if I didn't have auditory hallucinations, and listening to the meaning of what the later people shouted, it seems that they didn't intend to kill us. Ruling out the possibility of the jade burning, then the purpose of these people is to spy on us, and then consider what to do with us according to the situation?

Sure enough, when I walked out of this rock, I saw a series of messy footprints on the snow. I walked over and took a closer look, and it was all the same pattern, probably because they were wearing the same shoes. But because each person has different strides, different weights, and different focus points, it can still be seen that these footprints should be from different people.

It seems that as I expected, the large number of pursuers entered the mountainous area in pieces, and took different routes, which could not only increase the success rate of the summit, but also echo and assist each other when necessary, which was really the best choice under the current conditions.

With Uncle Quan's previous guidance, we also have some understanding of this mountain road, and we walked cautiously all the way up, but it was also quite smooth, only when we turned around a cliff, Yue Ningmei, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and pointed to the side: "Look! ”

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a large rock in that direction, and although it had been covered with a thin layer of snow again, I could still clearly see the traces of someone pressing it, and I walked over it, leaned over and looked to the other side, and it was the same place where we had been plotted by arrows! But now that they looked again, there was no one on the other side, and it was estimated that Rui Wei and they had received Yue Ningmei's message and went up the mountain first.

What makes me a little puzzled is that these two people just saw us fall off the cliff with their own eyes, if the purpose of this trip was to spy on us, then the goal has been missed, and they should immediately go down the mountain to inspect our situation, but judging from the footprints, they did not turn back, what is going on?

After analyzing it, I thought that maybe they had an accomplice left behind at the bottom of the mountain, and nine times out of ten, they used some method to notify the other team to go and inspect it. And these people who have already gone up the mountain, seeing that Rui is worried that they continue to climb the mountain, they chose to continue to climb the mountain, and it is not known. After all, they don't necessarily know us, and they probably don't even know which two people are who fell!

No matter what the truth is, for me and Yue Ningmei, we can only go up now, and there is no other consideration.

During this period of time, we walked almost a kilometer, and excluding the short period of time when we were treated, the distance between the enemy and us would not exceed 1.5 kilometers.

I looked up, but I saw a white expanse, and I couldn't see half a figure, probably hidden between the overlapping rock walls.

Further up, as the altitude increases, the air pressure decreases, the ears swell, and the chest begins to feel a little depressed, like a fish thrown ashore, and it takes twice as hard to breathe as usual.

Tao Zhihuan...... Do you rarely exercise? I tried to use whining to release my attention from this discomfort.

"How did I know you would come to such a place!" He argued.

Well, exercising isn't that what it is...... In order to deal with all possible situations, don't you...... You have to live by the river to learn to swim! I gasped and shouted.

"Don't complain, okay, the most important thing you should ask now is what you are going to do after you go up!" He deliberately changed the subject.

What do you do when you go up? …… Well, the time should not be far from the top of the mountain, it's time to ask, after all, you still have to think about how to deal with the group of diggers according to what you have to do!

I immediately shouted to Yue Ningmei, "We...... How about taking a break? ”

Yue Ning frowned and looked back at me, his pretty face also turned crimson, it is estimated that he is not less troubled by this low-pressure environment than me, and when he saw that there was just a platform next to him, he pointed there and said, "Okay!" …… Get there! ”

Sitting down on the platform, I gasped for breath and tried to alleviate the symptoms of hypoxia, but Yue Ningmei took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, opened it and handed it over.

When I looked at it, it was covered with small oval-shaped pale yellow flakes, which seemed to have faint swirling lines. At that time, I took a piece and put it to my nose and smelled it, and said happily: "It's a ginseng piece!" ”

"Well, I bought it in town, and the quality of the ginseng slices here is very good." She said.

"yes, after all, ginseng is a specialty here. However, I don't know if this is wild ginseng or planted ginseng. "I've also heard a legend about a little doll in the mountains who quietly tied a red silk thread to him, and it turned out that he was made of a thousand years of ginseng." ”

"I've heard similar sayings, but it's not about ginseng turning into a human, it's about people turning into ginseng." Yue Ningmei said, "It is said that someone has mastered the method of immortality after cultivation and turned into a human-shaped plant. ”

"Huh?" I was surprised, "What's the point of being immortal if you become a plant?" ”

"You're not a plant, so how do you know that plants are boring?" Yue Ning frowned and said with a smile, "Just like those ancient trees we saw before, the vicissitudes of life it has witnessed are unimaginable to you and me. Besides, ginseng is not an ordinary plant, it can control time. ”

"Controlling time? How? ”

"Like you said, if someone finds them, they reset time so that no one can find them again." As she spoke, her eyes seemed a little foggy.

"Haha!" I laughed, "If that's the case, how can ginseng be turned into ginseng tablets?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe, it's just a legend after all." ”

"By the way, speaking of time, how long will it take us to get to the top of the mountain later?" I took the opportunity to pick up the topic.

"I don't know, it could be long, or it could be fast." But she said.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"It's not what I'm going to do, it's what you're going to do." She looked at me meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
