Above the snow line, the temperature drops sharply. The temperature difference between day and night is also large, and even at noon in the middle of the day, the temperature is only three or four degrees high due to the wind and snow. Fortunately, the dwarves are not very demanding, only if they have wine, they can withstand the cold, and many dwarves have never seen such a magnificent snow scene of "thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting" in their lives, so their interest is quite high.

There were no words along the way, and it was another two days of arduous trekking, and at dusk in another afternoon, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, but the beauty that followed shocked everyone.

The sky is as blue as a wash, clean, vast, and pure, as if it does not belong to the world. The magnificence of nature and the majesty of the snow-capped mountains combine to create a country full of mysteries. Looking into the distance, the surrounding area is covered with snow and ice, and it is covered in silver. In such a clear and transparent time and space, it is like cleansing the entire soul of a person, and the whole body becomes thorough.

Unfortunately, there were no more than any casualties during the journey.

A young dwarf who had just come of age didn't seem to take the precautions of the snowy mountains that the adventurer had said to heart, so much so that when he got up in the morning to go to the toilet, he stepped on it, and the whole person rolled directly down the cliff of the snowy mountain and fell into the deep valley. The fog below the deep valley was heavy, and the clouds were gloomy, and if you threw a stone down, there was not even an echo, which showed its depth.

Helpless, the adventurer could only stop and organize a rescue, but the result was reasonable...... Falling from the bottom of a cliff hundreds of meters high, the dwarf guy was directly "killed". In the end, except for retrieving an axe, the torn body was really not put together except for burying it on the spot.

After this battle, the dwarves with the nature of exploration and play became serious. On the contrary, it is not a bad thing.

In the vast snowfield, a group of people walk alone, occasionally bickering with each other, chatting is to pass the time - when you stay in the bustling city for too long, and suddenly you are put in a very vast and uninhabited place, you may be greatly shocked at first, feel free and excited, but after a long time, you will start to miss the crowd again. I have to say, this is a very strange state of mind.

In the evening, the sky was full of red glow, bright as fire, and everyone was attracted by the beauty of this sky. But soon, there were sharp-eyed shouts:

"Light! Reflective! …… There's a lake reflecting down there! ”

When they saw the piece below that reflected the glow in the sunlight, like a jewel set in the snowy fields of the mountains, everyone cheered at the same time.

There is no doubt that this is the lake that everyone is looking for.

"Haha, let's go, catch a few fish to eat while it's still early!"

The group was very excited, and ran forward with full horsepower, and many people rolled down the snow slope directly, and when they reached the bottom of the slope, it turned into a huge snowball.

When I got closer, I found that the lake did not occupy a very large area, but it was also hundreds of meters in a radius, and the water was clear and clear, but when I looked at the depths, it became a deep dark color. The rocky beaches around the lake are glowing a brilliant white color in the sun, and from a distance, they look like ice and snow.

The blue lake reflects the white clouds in the sky, on the vast plateau, from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, there is a cool breeze with snow, and in the low-lying land not far away, a group of animals like antelopes look at the adventurer vigilantly, and after a while, they run away.

Someone squatted down and twisted the white powder and tasted it, and said, "It's salt." ”

The shiny white material is the salt left behind by the evaporation of the salty lake. Obviously, the lake is very rich in minerals.

"What a natural salt lake!" One adventurer sighed loudly, saying, "My hometown used to be in Tibet, and when I was a child, I used to go on a pilgrimage to Namtso with my grandfather, and on the way I would encounter a lake, which was rich in lithium. Unfortunately, it was later bought and built into a factory. ”

A group of people sighed leisurely. If it weren't for the Middle-earth world, where the development of science and technology is almost non-existent, this paradise lake far from the world may have been emitted by large machines and a lot of fuel emissions, and at that time, I am afraid that we would no longer be able to see this scene of salt like a snow lake and a mirror.

Speaking of this, a sentimental and compassionate adventurer lamented:

"You said that the 'man' thing is really great and hateful, it can conquer everything, it can push mountains and reclaim the sea, and build a steel city, but how much beauty has it ruined?"

It's a pity that the pragmatists are unmoved: "Eat radishes first and worry about it, and then take care of these idle things when you have the ability, and stay cool if you don't have the ability." ”

"Hehe, unambitious, vulgar!"

"Yes, yes, I don't have big ambitions, what the hell did you do with toilet paper last night, you think I don't know? You have the ability, save toilet paper for the country first! ”

“……”

Yes, a group of jokes, no matter how noble the discussion, has to return to toilet paper in the end.

Qin Fen ignored the teasing of this group of teasers, and took Ai Jia'er and Miss Yinzi to a side of an ice ditch. I could feel a chill coming to my face, and in the ice ditch was the snow water flowing down from the snowy mountains not far away, and even the grass on both sides was floating with ice cubes.

"It's beautiful, if only we could stay here forever." Wearing the hat of Bambi the fawn, Ai Jia was blushing and fluttering, as if she had never seen real snow before, and she had been quite excited along the way, like a lark that had flown out of the cage, very cute.

"That's not going to work." Qin Fen shrugged, "Our goal is the distant sea of stars, where can we stop here?" ”

"You'll say." Miss Yinzi was wearing a red windbreaker and glanced at Qin Fen with a charming look. Well, all in all, the trip has been enjoyable so far, and many people have thought of it as a strolling trip. After all, the shadow of the treasure is nowhere to be seen, and there is no reason to start fighting.

"The lady taught me a lesson." Qin Fen replied with a smile. He took a sip of water, only to feel that the snow water was very sweet and cold, with a refreshing cold fragrance.

The altitude here is already more than 5,000 meters, and ordinary people will experience altitude sickness when they reach an altitude of about 2,700 meters. But except for a very few people, this altitude sickness is generally very small and will not be noticed, reaching about 4,000, this reaction will be more obvious, as for the altitude of about 5,000, it is a little challenging for ordinary people. However, this thing varies from person to person, and some people have good physiological adaptation and psychological quality, so it will basically not have an impact.

Miss Yinzi glanced at Qin Fen with a good look, turned her head to look at the lake in the distance, and suddenly became a little curious: "I heard from the dwarven explorer that this lake is half brackish and half light, and I don't know if it's true." ”

Qin Fen smiled: "This is still fake. ”

"Why is this happening?"

Qin Fen pointed to the snow peak in front of him and said: "It is light in the north and salty in the south, do you see it, the trend of this lake is high in the north and low in the south, and the north is full of snow peaks of more than six thousand meters, and the snow water melts from the snow mountain, forming an ice ditch, which dilutes the water in the north, so this pattern is formed." ”

This lake is a typical alpine lake, and the people advance from the southwest position, and the terrain along the way is uneven, with plateaus and valleys, and a lot of snow due to the altitude. The mountain facing this lake is called "Kagong Mountain", and legend has it that it was the dwelling place of the dwarves a long time ago. There is a cave in the belly of the mountain, and it is also the destination of everyone's trip.

However, it was already a little late at this moment, so the people did not continue to move forward, but chose to camp on the spot. Qin Fen and the werewolf scientist set up tents, working as coolies, and the three women sat on the ground, looking at the lake in the distance, pursing their lips, revealing their proud side silhouettes, seemingly thinking about life, in fact, everyone knew it......

It's just lazy.
