Chapter 54: A Chance Encounter on Mount Everest
"Head, do you want to give a tent guy too?" A young Western young man said and pointed in the direction of Jiang Fan, in fact, he really admired that person, in such an environment, he actually went up the mountain alone, and he wore so little, he didn't have any equipment, he didn't seem to have any discomfort, and he seemed to be born not afraid of the cold.
"Forget it, our tent is not enough, there is no surplus, looking at his appearance, it doesn't seem to be needed." The captain shook his head and said, after so many years of exploration, he has encountered a lot of things, and he has also seen some masters, knowing that some people are very unique, since the other party did not come to request, he also did not want his team members to be crowded in a tent, and this is also the truth, their tent is indeed just enough, and there is no superfluity.
At night, the environment became even worse, the cold wind hit, and almost all the members of the expedition team took shelter from the tent, only the faint light shone in the dark night.
Jiang Fan was sitting not far away, but at this moment he had already settled down, watching his life in his heart, and also witnessing the power of will in his consciousness.
No one knew that in the middle of the night, a small stealthy spaceship appeared above Jiang Fan's head, Jiang Fan did not open his eyes, but closed his eyes and raised his hand to grab it upwards, he had an extra package in his hand, which was full of super nutrient solution, a total of hundreds.
During this period of time, although he has always been no different from ordinary people, he has not stopped accumulating mana, and the refined super nutrient solution will be delivered to him every once in a while.
Hundreds of super nutrient solutions, Jiang Fan only glanced at them, and then directly absorbed and cultivated.
Sixteen super nutrient solutions were consumed in one night, and the rest was put away by Jiang Fan, put it in a storage bag, and then continued to meditate.
Jiang Fan knew that as long as he absorbed the super nutrient solution in his hand, his mana would also reach the current limit, and then he would only need to make further breakthroughs before he could continue to absorb such a nutrient solution for cultivation.
The sky was slightly bright, the expedition team had already gotten up, began to put away the tents, pack up the belongings, from time to time someone looked in the direction of Jiang Fan, they saw Jiang Fan still sitting there at the moment, covered with frost and dew, people couldn't help but shiver after seeing it, as if they were in the snow like Jiang Fan.
"Captain, is that guy okay? Would you like to go over and have a look? A middle-aged Western woman pointed in Jiang Fan's direction and asked, her face full of worry.
"Okay, you guys hurry up and pack up, I'll go over and take a look." The captain nodded, and then walked towards Jiang Fan.
"I'm fine." As soon as he arrived in front of Jiang Fan, to the surprise of the captain, just as he was about to speak, Jiang Fan had already opened his closed eyes and said lightly.
"It's okay." Shocked in his heart, he didn't show it, and glanced at Jiang Fan deeply before turning around and going back to continue packing his belongings.
However, there is a comparison tent that has not been demolished, as if all kinds of equipment and instruments are placed in it, and there are still people left in the camp, and everyone else has carried a lot of things to continue to climb the mountain.
Jiang Fan got up and thought for a while, and then went on the road alone, choosing a different direction from this expedition, they rushed straight up the mountain, while Jiang Fan walked to the right.
The road is white, the cold wind does not stop, the snowflakes on the ground are blown by the wind, like snow, the environment is worse than yesterday, such a bad weather, Jiang Fan also feels strange, in this season, there are still people who come to climb the mountain, I don't know if it is really just for mountaineering, or exploration.
The only possibility is that this group of people is hired, or one of them has a special discovery, or even other reasons to rush here, otherwise it should not be chosen to go to a mountain range like the Himalayas in this season.
Because of the snow white, I don't know what the snow is underneath, it can be said that walking in such a snow, if you have no experience, it is very dangerous, as for the road, there is no, plus the mountain is very dangerous, every step has to be careful, in such an environment, no matter who it is, the speed will not be fast.
"Captain, that man is really fine, and he keeps going up, so fast, as usual, he doesn't care about the environment under his feet, if he gets stuck in a snow pit, he will freeze to death." Someone pointed to the front and shouted, and when they looked, they saw a figure in the distance, and although they couldn't see it clearly, they could see that this person was the Orientals they had seen in the camp.
"Don't worry, this time we have something important, hurry to the destination."
"He can't be sent by Orr, right?"
"No, he's alone, he doesn't have any mountaineering equipment on him, and he doesn't look like an expedition team, how could that guy Orr send such a person." The captain shook his head.
A group of sixteen people continued on their way, while the other two remained in the camp, one of whom was a helicopter pilot, and if there was an emergency, he needed helicopter rescue, so he could not set off with them.
"But captain, look at the direction he is taking, and go the same way with us, we will meet in the end, and then I am afraid that he will find out our purpose."
"Let's get there first, he's only one."
They quickened their pace, and the people who were exploring the way in front also quickened their speed, and soon a group of sixteen people caught up with Jiang Fan, because Jiang Fan didn't walk fast at every step, just like ordinary people, not fast or slow.
When the two sides met, they just nodded and said hello to each other, but they didn't make a sound.
After walking for a day, Jiang Fan chose a position that could block the wind after nightfall, and sat down cross-legged directly, and the sixteen members of the expedition team also stopped nearby and built a fire to build a tent.
In the middle of the night, it suddenly snowed heavily, but for half an hour, they almost buried the tent they had built under the snow, so that they had to come out to clear the snow, but the snow kept falling, making it difficult for them to rest, and then saw that Jiang Fan had been sitting in it without moving, and when they cleared the snow near the tent, they found that Jiang Fan had been buried in the snow.
Originally, someone wanted to go over and dig Jiang Fan out, but they were stopped by their captain, and everyone was puzzled, and he didn't explain, just said that the other party would be fine.
In desperation, they had no choice but to continue to go back to the tent to rest, and two others lit a fire, boiled water and drank it to warm up, and some people stuck their heads out of the tent from time to time to look around.
In such a situation, they could not continue to sleep soundly, and from time to time they had to get up to clear the heavy snow.
As soon as the morning dawned, they continued to hurry, if it weren't for the fact that they had been exercising for many years, coupled with the recent appearance of the other world, they could cultivate in it and improve their physique, now they would definitely have to stop and rest for a while before they could continue to hurry.
Jiang Fan walked out of the snow when they were almost cleaned up, and continued to walk towards the mountain, which made people all stunned, you know, the snow is now up to the waist, and the sixteen members of the expedition team have difficulty every step, and they have to help each other, and then look at Jiang Fan, they are still walking step by step, the speed is the same as yesterday, not fast or slow.
"What kind of person is this, except for seeing him eat a little bit yesterday, he hasn't eaten for a day, can he go on like this, does he want to die?" Someone was surprised.
The others were silent, and such people they also met for the first time.
When it was getting dark again, the sixteen members of the expedition had to choose a place to settle down, and just as they were wondering if they had not met the strange man, someone exclaimed, "Look. ”
Following the direction he pointed, they saw Jiang Fan.
It was a cliff that was not very high, and there was a big rock protruding from the middle, the snow on it was not thick, and this big rock could probably accommodate four or five people, so Jiang Fan sat there, facing the cold wind and kept his eyes closed.
No one knows how Jiang Fan felt at this time, as if he had returned to the primitive, the greatness of nature, the breath of nature fascinated him deeply, condescendingly, looking at the white expanse under the mountain, and the stars in the sky shining with starlight, there was a vague feeling of being integrated into it, as if he was a part of this heaven and earth.
The heart is extremely open-minded, and it seems to be able to hold heaven and earth in the heart.
Two days later, Jiang Fan was in front, and the sixteen members of the expedition team were behind, and at this moment they were already halfway up the mountain, but the expedition team stopped, because they had reached their destination, it was a cliff, I don't know how high it was below, it seemed that there was no bottom, standing on it, no one dared to approach, because of the thick snow, no one knew if they would step on the air with one foot, and the heavy snow was completely covered by the cliff, who knew that it was safe there, and it was dangerous there.
Jiang Fan was not far from them, about a kilometer or so, because he was condescending, he could see their every move clearly.
After the expedition team stopped, they began to look for some objects that could tighten the ropes for mountaineering, which could be boulders or trees, but in such an environment, how could it be possible to find a big tree, they could only find nearby boulders, and after determining the bearing capacity of the boulders, they decided whether to put the ropes on the boulders.
The ropes they had prepared were very long, about a hundred zhang, there were nine in total, no wonder each of them carried a huge package on their backs, and some climbing equipment, and when they were ready, only one of the sixteen people was left on it, and the others began to walk cautiously towards the edge of the cliff, seeing that they should want to go to the bottom of the cliff.
The two of them shared a rope, and the fifteen people had two remaining for preparation, and each of them acted very professionally.
Jiang Fan looked at all this from above, a little strange why they wanted to go under the cliff, could it be that there were any treasures below? Because he saw that the person guarding above took out a weapon, and at a glance he knew that it was a guy with real guns, and looked around cautiously and vigilantly.
The other fifteen people had already begun to go down the cliff, not slowly, and at this time, they were still carrying a lot of belongings.
Originally, there would be no accidents at such a time, but suddenly there was a muffled sound in the sky, this muffled sound did not know why, like thunder, and like something had exploded, the movement was very loud, and the people of the expedition team heard this sound but their faces changed greatly, and everyone stopped, full of fear.
Jiang Fan's face also changed slightly, because this sound came for some reason, but because this sound may cause an avalanche, after a while, after finding that there was no movement, the expedition team was a little relieved, but just as they continued to act, there was a rumbling sound from the mountain.
"Be careful, it's an avalanche." Someone shouted.
A few days ago, there had been a heavy snowfall in the evening, which had doubled the snow on the ground, and now it had suddenly happened, and they had encountered such an avalanche.
I saw snowflakes rolling down from the mountain, and the sound was terrifying.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan looked around, found a recessed position and hid, although he could fly up directly to avoid this avalanche, but he didn't do it, because in that case, it would be necessary to use his mental power that he hadn't used for almost half a year.
