Han Shuna's face, which had been burned into a black hole by immeasurable karmic fire, opened her mouth with difficulty at me, as if she wanted to make a sound, but the mouth without lips could only be opened in vain.

I want to ask the junior high school around me to see what is going on, has there been such a precedent in the Karamir Mountains before, and the corpses of people who have been burned to death will still have corpses? But when I turned my head, I found that the first year of the first year that I had been talking to was gone, and only the cold wind in the cold night mixed with heavy snow flakes whirled into the ice wall.

My heart seemed to be frozen by the wind and snow, my whole body suddenly shivered, sat up, and when I raised my eyes again, Chu Yi sat next to me with a shotgun, holding his leather bag, drinking barley wine, and then looking at the place where Han Shuna's body was placed, there was no trace of snow on it. It turned out that I had just dozed off, and in such a short period of time, I had a nightmare.

It is not surprising to say that there are thoughts during the day and dreams at night, but the panic in the dream is really real, maybe there is some subtle omen?

Chu Yi handed me the leather wine bag next to him: "You fell asleep just as you spoke, I think you are tired today." I have scalded the wine, you take two sips, and the gods of barley wine will help you relieve your tired body. ”

I took the wine bag and poured two large sips, and stood up, still wanting to confirm again, I had to see with my own eyes that Han Shuna's body under the snow hill had not changed, so that I could feel at ease.

As soon as I got up, I suddenly heard a long "whoosh" sound from behind the ice wall, and a flare rose into the night sky. When we set up camp, in order to prevent the wolves from sneaking up, several tripping flares were set up on the periphery, which were placed behind a few ice mounds, which was the only place to approach the camp from the periphery.

The flare has a small parachute on it, which allows it to hang in the air for a while. The cold wind blew, and the miserable white flares dangled in the night sky, illuminating the already snow-white glacier with white light, dazzling people's eyes.

In this white snow mist, more than a dozen giant wolves were exposed to the dazzling light of the flares. These wolves were only a dozen meters away from the closest ice wall we had erected, and they had indeed attacked in the dark of the goose feathers and snow. When I set up camp, I had analyzed the glacier structure here, it had not snowed for a long time this season, and the sound of small arms shooting was not easy to cause the snow avalanche on the snow peak, so I simply pulled out the M1911, pulled the sleeve back, raised the gun to shoot, and the first year also raised his shotgun, aimed at the evil wolf that was lurking, and blasted out.

The wolves approaching quietly on the snowy field may have wanted to wait until they were under the ice wall before they broke out, but unexpectedly triggered the flares, and the dazzling light overwhelmed them, and they became live targets lying on the snow.

When the fat man and the others heard the gunshots, they immediately grabbed their weapons and ran out to help, and the long and short guns were fired together, and more than a dozen wolves were killed immediately, and the remaining three giant wolves saw that the situation was not good, turned around and jumped back, and they were all knocked down by the fat man with a rifle one by one. The wolf corpse fell in front of the ice wall, and the white snow was dotted with blood.

At the same time that the last wolf was shot by the fat man, the flares hanging in the air gradually dimmed, and the glacier was covered in darkness, and only the howl of the wind and snow could be heard. This Phoenix Shrine located in the Longding Glacier, the wind is gathered below, and the gap between the snow-capped mountains and the snow-capped mountains is a ventilation duct that sucks in the wind, and the higher it goes, the less the wind will be, and when it reaches the top of the snowy peak, there is basically no wind. The glacier resembles a trumpet-shaped shaft with a narrow bottom, and with heavy snowfall, visibility is poor.

The fat man squatted under the ice wall to avoid the wind, and said to me: "Commander Hu, this time we have given the wolves a dismount, and they will not dare to come again." Finally able to sleep peacefully, I'll go back to sleep first, and you can call me again if there is anything. I was just dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law, and I woke you up halfway through the marriage, and I have to do a sequel when I go back......"

I said to the fat man not to underestimate the enemy, and it is too late to sleep until the day of victory, and now this is far from over, and when the wolf skin of the white-haired wolf king is stripped off and hung on the wind horse flag, they are not a leader in the wolves, and it is not enough to be troubled.

At this time, Chu Yi said: "Brother Duji is right, these wolves are very treacherous, we need to be careful that they attract our attention here, and other wolves come up from behind. Once you get close to the wolf, you can't use a gun, and you will accidentally injure your own people. ”

The first year of the guide reminded us that there was such a possibility, the first year of the first year of the junior high school knew too much about the habits of the wolves, judging by this small-scale contact just now, the wolves would definitely divide their troops to copy our back road. Our camp was set up next to the main tomb of the Samsara religion, and there were ice ditches at the far ends of the sides, which were not easy to pass, and although there were traps with flares in the front and back, we could not expect it to work.

After a little summing up, the group decided that rather than hold on here and be disturbed all night, it was better to go head-on and beat the wolves off guard before they could attack from behind.

Chu Yi estimated that there was the main force of the wolves behind, and they came from that side with a headwind, and the sound of gunshots and the smell of people would be detected by them, and the wolves must have wanted to take advantage of our victory to be paralyzed and careless, and when they spread out to rest, they suddenly pounced. If we want to take them by surprise, we have to confuse them, and we have to act quickly, and once they are aware of the change, it will be difficult to destroy these wolves tonight.

Shirley Young said that wolves have strong perception skills, and we are tailwind, so it is easy to be exposed, what can we do to confuse them?

Chu Yi didn't answer, turned over and jumped out of the ice wall, dragged the nearest wolf corpse back, and asked everyone to smear some wolf blood on their foreheads. According to the legend of the locals, among all things, only the soul of the human lives in the forehead area, the evil wolf is the hungry ghost of Shura, its nose and eyes can not feel the human body, can only see the soul of the person, and it takes a day and night after the death of people and animals before the soul will leave**, so the wolf blood that died soon ago also has the wolf soul, and it can be smeared on the forehead to cover the soul of the person, and the wolves can be confused.

I thought to myself that although this legend may not be true, but smeared with the strong smell of wolf blood can indeed conceal the smell of people, so I inserted a paratrooper knife into the wolf's neck as Chu Yi said. The wolf had just been dead for a few minutes, and it was not frozen, and its blood was still steaming.

Each of them dipped three fingers in blood, wiped them across their foreheads, and then, armed with their weapons, turned off the light source they were carrying, and quietly touched the ice slope behind them. This ice slope is located about the very center of Longding Glacier, and there are many similar ice slopes on this ancient glacier. At first, we didn't pay attention to it, but we thought that this uplifted ice slope could play a role in sheltering the wind and snow, so we camped at the bottom of the slope, until I confirmed the location of the nine-story demon tower with Shirley Yang in the ice bucket, and then we felt that this ice slope was extraordinary, and it was likely to be the location where the glacier crystal corpse was buried.

Everyone wrapped Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang in the middle, lying on the ice and snow, leaning down below the ridge line of the ice slope, and our equipment was enough to cope with the polar environment. The altitude of this dragon top is not high, and there is a saying that "warm after the wind, cold after the snow", the real cold wave will not come until after the snowfall, and the wolves will retreat into the forest before the snow stops, otherwise they will be frozen to death by the cold wave. Although it was snowing heavily, it wasn't too cold, but even so, it was enough to lie in the snow on the ice.

I pressed my hand down, signaling everyone to stop, and I and the first two of us covered our mouths, only revealing the wolf blood on our foreheads, and then poked our heads out of the ridge line of the ice slope to watch the movement down the slope, if the wolves came to sneak attack, this would be the place to pass.

On the dark earth, there were only snowflakes flying in the sky, I looked at it for a long time, but I found nothing, the lead clouds in the sky were heavy, there was no light, and the visibility was too low. At this time, Hatsuichi tugged at my sleeve and slowly pointed his finger down the slope. I followed his hand and watched intently, only to see a few small green lights flickering in the snowy night. Since the snow was falling so heavily, it would have been almost impossible to see if it hadn't been pointed out by Hatsuchi.

I turned on the glimmer flashlight and shook it twice at the fat man and the others behind me, meaning that I had found the lurking wolves and was ready to fight. At this time, the guide Chu Yi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed down the ice slope, and ran straight towards a few rays of green light in the darkness.

I don't know why he did it, could it be that something suddenly changed? But he couldn't let him be alone in danger, so he carried M1911 and ran with him with a wolf-eyed flashlight. Behind him, there was a cry from the fat man, Shirley Yang and others: "Come back, what are you two doing?" ”

I stopped at the beginning of the first day, and I stood still, and was about to ask him what was going on, but I found seven or eight giant wolves in the snow, whose necks were cut off by sharp tooth knives, and blood was gurgling out, and a few of them had not yet died, staring at us with vicious eyes, but they were bleeding too much and could not move. Death will befall them at any moment. We see those turquoise wolf eyes on the ridge of the ice slope, and that's them.

Chu Yi squatted down and looked at the wound on the wolf's neck: "It was the white-haired wolf king who did it, they won't come again tonight." After saying that, he used his Tibetan knife to kill the wolves that were not dead one by one, and returned to the back of the ice slope with me.

As soon as we told everyone about the situation, everyone felt inexplicable, obviously we estimated it accurately at the beginning, the wolves wanted to sneak attack from behind, but I don't know what happened, the wolf king bit so many of his kind in a row, and then quietly retreated, even the guide who was very familiar with the wolf nature Chu Yi, I didn't know why.

Shirley Yang stepped on the ice slope under his feet and said to everyone, there are ten ** under this ice layer is the nine-story demon tower we are looking for. The customs of the demon country, only after the death of the lord of the country and the evil god can enter the tower for burial, like the reincarnation of the bishop, those high-status clergy, are not qualified, can only be buried in the ice caves around the holy land. In the long rap poem of the World Enemy Orb Hero, the white wolf is the demon slave of the Demon Kingdom, and the King of the Orb has led the army and fought many times with the wolves led by the Wolf King.

Although the demon kingdom has perished for a long, long time, the ancient contract between the monarch and the wolves may not have expired, and the wolves are still burdened with an ancient curse. Maybe the wolf king found out that this is a demon tower dedicated to the evil god, and had to give up the original plan, and bit a few wolves to sacrifice and sacrifice, which is somewhat similar to the ancient legend of the American Indians about wolves.

Listening to Shirley Yang say this, I remembered that in the tomb of the ghost mother of the Great Phoenix Temple in Kunlunya, there was once a huge wolf skin and a wall carving that drove the wolf slave, so the possibility that Shirley Yang said should be preserved.

Since the wolves will not attack again tonight, they can sleep peacefully, and tomorrow they will dig up the glacier crystal corpse, so everyone returns to the camp to rest.

I suddenly remembered that nightmare, and I always felt that it was very inappropriate not to confirm Han Shuna's body, but it was better to let Uncle Ming know about this matter, so as not to cause any misunderstanding. I advised Uncle Ming that it would be best to incinerate her body overnight and bring back the ashes.

Uncle Ming was already blindsided at this time, and was about to agree, but the guide Chuyi strongly objected: Han Shuna died until now, less than a day and night, her soul has not left, and if she burns the corpse with fire, her soul will also feel the pain of karmic fire, which is not good for the deceased, and it will also bring disaster to everyone.

As the saying goes, the locals follow the customs, although we don't believe in this set of rules, but it is difficult to refute, and everyone had to come to Han Shuna's corpse. I asked Uncle Ming if he could not cover the corpse with a blanket, but roll it up and wrap it, doing so is only good and not harmful, Uncle Ming was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly.

I pushed away the snow that had risen from the corpse, and as soon as I reached out and touched the blanket, my heart suddenly felt half cold, and the blanket was arched in the air, and the corpse that covered it was gone. I jerked off the blanket, and at some point there was a not-so-large hole in the ice below, and a huge ice crevin beneath it.

Could it be that Han Shuna's body fell below? Everyone rushed to watch, and I held a wolf-eye flashlight to shine down, and found that under the bottomless ice abyss, a figure flickered and flashed into the dark place. I hurriedly traced the beam of the flashlight, only to see a woman crawling there with her hands and feet hanging on the vertical ice wall between the ice crevices, her back to us, her hair already indicating that she was Han Shuna.

The fat man raised his rifle and wanted to shoot, but I stopped him and shouted below: "Han Shuna, where are you going!" ”

Han Shuna obviously heard our voices, and also felt several flashlights shining on her, slowly turning her head from the ice wall. Her charcoal-burned face was gone, replaced by a pale one, but her white face had only two rows of teeth, no eyes and no nose.

Han Shuna turned her head from the vertical cliff of the ice abyss, her face white and misty. The distance between her and us was close to the limit of the range of the wolf's eye beam, and in order to see more clearly, I lay on the edge of the ice cave and pushed the flashlight downward, although I could see vaguely, I already felt that the "woman" on the ice wall was no longer human.

Uncle Ming also raised the flashlight to look down, but when he saw Han Shuna's face, he was so frightened that he was stunned, his hands and feet suddenly softened, and the flashlight in his hand rolled and fell into the ice crack.

Han Shuna, who suddenly had a white face, was startled by the falling flashlight, and quickly crawled to the bottom of the dark ice abyss, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

We leaned over to look at the falling wolf-eye flashlight, hoping to see the depth of the abyss, but when the flashlight fell, it turned into a flapping little bright spot, getting smaller and smaller, and finally swallowed into the darkness below. When the fat man and I saw that the ice abyss was bottomless, we couldn't help but think of that ghost cave.

At that moment, Shirley Young fastened a bundle of climbing ropes to his body and said to me, "Let's hurry up." Looking at her frame, it seems that she is going down to the ice abyss to chase Han Shuna. As soon as I thought about it, I already understood what Shirley Yang meant, Han Shuna's corpse, I don't know what had changed, although she fled into the depths of the ice abyss as soon as she saw everyone, but in that direction, it happened to be the nine-story demon tower that was diagonally inserted under the ice slope, could it be that she went straight to the glacier crystal corpse?

I had to find Han Shuna before the situation deteriorated, and I immediately prepared the rope, turned on all the light sources on my body with Shirley Yang, and fell down the rope, but the ice surface in the ice abyss was abnormally slippery, and there was no support point to stand on. The blue fluorescent tube and tactical spotlight on the body reflect a strange and blurry light on the mirror-like ice wall, making people not know where they are, and they feel like they are about to lose their sense of direction as soon as they go down to a depth of more than ten meters.

Had to stop for a moment to confirm the location. This narrow abyss of ice seems to be endless.

Shirley Yang said that there was at least a few hundred meters deep below, and the deepest part might be the remnants of the water veins of the lake in the Sea of Calamity, and Uncle Ming's flashlight fell into the water, so it disappeared. As he spoke, he turned a fluorescent tube and threw it under the ice abyss, and after a long time, the blue fluorescence disappeared from sight. We put our ears to the ice wall, and we could faintly hear the sound of running water.

Han Shuna is moving diagonally downward, we descend vertically, and if we want to catch up with her, we have to swing sideways. We tried it, but the ice wall was too slippery to do, and we ended up relying on tools to chisel the ice wall with a pickaxe and move it inward, but as soon as we chiseled it, we found that the broken ice kept falling down, and the ice abyss was about to crack.

Longding Glacier is located at a special altitude, belonging to the low-altitude glacier, and there is a period of surface ablation for two or three months every year, but the ice layer in the middle, which is up to a few hundred meters thick, will never change.

But the timing of our arrival was not very suitable, just in time for the end of the ablation period and the early stage of the cold wave, which is the most vulnerable time period of the main glacier, plus there are countless natural ice cirques, ice leaks, ice cracks, and hundreds of tombs of the reincarnation sect in the glacier, it can be said that this ice layer is similar to the hornet's nest. On a normal day, September is the most prone time to collapse, and although there have been no major geological changes in thousands of years, the sea of calamity can be subject to unexpected disasters at any time.

However, everything has its two sides, and the fragile period of the glacier is very beneficial for digging the nine-story demon tower under the deep ice, and if you do it after the cold wave, it will be very difficult.

Uncle Ming, the fat man and others above were worried about our safety, and shouted loudly for us to go back, don't chase it, it's too dangerous.

It didn't matter if they shouted like this, the sound above was poured down by the wind, and Shirley Yang and I felt that the entire ice wall was trembling, so we quickly used a flashlight to signal that they must not shout in the ice cave, otherwise if this ice wall cracks and creates an ice avalanche, we will all be buried alive in this cold and dark ice abyss.

Our speed on the ice wall is even slower than expected, and it is impossible to move laterally, and the environment in this ice abyss is too dark and complicated, and the soldiers are very fast, so if we lose the opportunity, we will not be able to catch up. Shirley Yang shook his head at me helplessly, it seemed that he had to give up the pursuit, so he had better go up first and then figure out a way.

We twitched the climbing rope and were about to return to the ice cave, so we used a flashlight to draw a few crosses on the people above, and the fat man and others understood, so they assisted on it, and Shirley Yang and I gradually ascended, because we couldn't stop on the ice wall, when we got close, we kicked with our feet, and our bodies would involuntarily hang in the air and turn around.

When I turned around, I suddenly saw a woman lying on her stomach on the dark ice wall on the side. Half of her body was hidden in the gap in the ice wall, only a small half of her body was poking out, her face was white, there were only two rows of teeth, and looking at her hair and yellow clothes on her body, it was Han Shuna.

I thought she had gone to the depths of the ice abyss, but I didn't expect that there was an inconspicuous gap in the ice wall not far from us, and Han Shuna hid in it. Just as we gave up tracking and were about to return to it, she suddenly appeared again, what did she want to do?

I pulled Shirley Young's arm, and both stopped at the same time. Shirley Yang was also surprised to see Han Shuna crawling out of the ice crack. I wrapped the wolf's eye around my arm before, and then I raised my arm and looked straight at Han Shuna.

In the pitch-black and cold ice abyss, even the wolf's eye only had visibility of less than twenty meters left, but this distance was just enough to illuminate the ice crevice where Han Shuna was. "Han Shuna" -- until we find out what she is, let's just call her that -- seems to have no reaction to the beam of the tactical flashlight, and she leans out half of her body on the crack in the ice, and then does not move.

Because Han Shuna's face had no facial features and two rows of teeth were open, we couldn't see clearly whether her expression was sad or angry, and the two sides were deadlocked in mid-air. I gradually lost my breath, that guy couldn't be human at all, and it didn't seem to be a corpse with stiff joints, but whatever she was, there was absolutely no kindness.

I pulled out the M1911 and was about to shoot it, but before I could pull out the safe, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, and Shirley Young said behind me, "You can't shoot, it will cause the ice wall to crack." ”

Before I put away the pistol, the faceless Han Shuna suddenly jumped out of the ice crack where she was hiding as if her whole body was electrified, spread her hands and feet, and quickly crawled towards me with a few brushstrokes like a big white lizard.

Shirley Yang and I saw that the situation was not good, so we didn't dare to slack off at this time, and hurriedly pulled down the climbing rope in the lock with all our strength, and quickly lifted our bodies up the ice abyss, preferably to lead Han Shuna to the glacier.

Although we rose fast, Han Shuna crawled faster on the ice wall, and when she was less than five or six meters from the ice, her big white face could reach Shirley Yang's shoes. Everyone on the glacier saw it clearly, the fat man and the first two of them ignored Uncle Ming's obstruction, raised their guns into the ice cave and fired a volley, and the bullets hit Han Shuna's face.

I looked back and saw that Han Shuna's white face had two holes opened, and her body was also swept down by the impact of the bullet, falling several meters, hanging on the ice wall, lifting her face without eyes and nose and looking up, and the two holes in her face immediately healed again. At this time, the ice abyss was really shaken by the sound of gunshots, and the broken ice kept falling, and Han Shuna seemed to be hiding in the ice crevice in order to avoid the falling hard ice.

Shirley Young and I took the opportunity to climb up to the top, and when we looked down, we saw that some large pieces of ice had collapsed on top of it, and the ice had been blocked. It's impossible for us to go in from here to find Han Shuna again. But the crevices under the glacier are so complex that who knows where else she'll come from, and bullets don't seem to do much to her.

In this snowy night, too many unimaginable things have happened, but midnight has just passed, there is still a long time before dawn, when the wind and snow will stop, it is difficult to predict, it seems that tonight is not to sleep peacefully.

Everyone blocked the ice cave, returned to the tent to keep warm, and tossed for half the night, although they were tired, they couldn't sleep, and they talked about Han Shuna together. Peter Huang said: "Maybe she wasn't burned to death, but she was seriously injured and buried in the snow and came back to life......

The fat man said: "How is it possible, Lao Huang doesn't talk without thinking about it through his brain." We've all seen it with our own eyes, and a third of our heads have been burned, so if we don't die, I'm afraid there won't be any dead people in the sky. Looking at the things with white flowers on her face, most of them are white hair, this must have become a snowy mountain zombie, which is very, very difficult to deal with. ”

I don't think it's going to be that simple. Shirley Yang asked Ah Xiang if she had seen anything special, only to learn that Ah Xiang didn't dare to open her eyes to see at all.

Everyone had their own reasoning, and after discussing for a long time without any result, the guide suddenly slapped the first day of the first year -- when the Tibetan lamas were discussing Zen, they often did this to indicate a sudden awakening, or to deepen their memory. When he was young, he often went to the mountains with lamas to collect medicines, and he also developed such a habit, which was obviously what he thought of at the moment.

So we stopped talking, and the first year of the first year said to the crowd, "You must have been entangled by Snow Millet." Two years ago, there were comrades from the Geological Survey Institute who encountered this kind of thing in the Moji Cliff of Kunlun Mountain, but there was no precedent in the Karamir area. The Kunlun Mountain Snow Maitreya is even more terrifying than the evil ghost, and her corpse will grow bigger and bigger......"

The first day of the first year was about to tell about the disaster that Xue Millya had caused to people and animals in Kunlun Mountain in the past, but he suddenly stopped, and at this moment, his expression seemed to be rigid, as did Uncle Ming, Ah Xiang, and Peter Huang, who were sitting on one side of him, all staring at the top of the tent behind us, as if there was something terrible there.

I hurriedly looked back and saw that the canvas of the tent was pressed in from the outside with two huge handprints, and in the middle there was a huge round seal, like a human face with no facial features pressed on it, both of which were twice as large as the normal human body, as if something was trying to break the canvas with its hands from the outside and get into the tent. The two big hands were so big that the tent was so crushed that it was about to collapse.
