Chapter 56: The Great Avalanche

Since ancient times, wherever you are in the world, especially near the mountains, there have been a variety of local legends about the local peaks. Such legends or anecdotes are basically mythical.

Such legends basically convey a more or less admiration and awe for this mountain range. Some of them are real, while others are imaginary and invented.

Often, stories like this are invented by the first residents and passed down orally. Moreover, it is passed down from generation to generation. Due to the large number of people and miscellaneous mouths, the taste has changed as it spreads. What was originally a single version of the story will become many different versions.

Some are based on the original story, and the basic story archetype is still there. But some have become unrecognizable and have lost the original meaning of the story itself. In this way, there will be a lot of derivative stories generated.

In this way, there will be more and more legends about the local peaks. For this reason, there is no shortage of such stories in the world's major mountain ranges or rivers, lakes and seashores.

In order to reduce casualties or people's riots, some will tell these stories very dangerously and abnormally, and they will also play a certain role in setting an example for people.

But whether it's the dangers of these peaks and snowy fields, or the cruelty of these places, there is no shortage of visitors to these places. Even with the heavy casualties, there are still some nature worshippers who flock to these places.

For example, the higher the altitude and the steeper the slope, the greater the chance of avalanches. Supposedly, there should be fewer visitors.

But in reality, on the contrary, more and more people are visiting. And it's increasing year by year. In China, for example, winter snow and avalanches in the central Tianshan Mountains often block mountain roads.

In the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains and Hengduan Mountains, avalanches also often occur. However, they are one of the important sources of modern glacial development.

In such areas, choosing the right time to climb can be more demanding. At the same time, in western China, near the inland Kunlun Mountains, Tanggula Mountains, Qilian Mountains and other mountainous areas. The amount of precipitation is relatively low, and there is no obvious distinction between dry and rainy seasons.

Because of these natural factors, avalanches may be less likely to occur, so it is easier to choose the right time to climb.

In addition, the relative height of these inland mountains is low, generally around 1000-1500 meters, so the slope of the mountains is relatively gentle, and the probability of avalanches is relatively small.

The relative altitude of the Himalayan Mountains and the Karakoram Mountains in front of us is 3,000-4,000 meters, and even 5,000-6,000 meters. Therefore, the slope of the mountain is steep. The likelihood of an avalanche and the potential energy of the avalanche are greater.

I have to say that our stepping into the Himalayas this time is really a life-threatening journey!

However, I don't have any regrets and I don't have any fears. It is worth it to be able to get better for my loved ones, even if it is my own life. Even if it is to go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, it is not hesitant.

Just when I was thinking about it, Duoduo seemed to notice something. He quickly pulled my sleeve and didn't say anything. But judging by the amplitude of her movements. It was enough to see that she was already extremely nervous.

I looked down where Duoduo pointed and saw snow and mist rolling there. I picked up the binoculars in my hand and looked at it, and I couldn't help but be surprised! The rolling posture of snow and mist is like a monstrous wave in the ocean before a storm, and the sweeping momentum is unstoppable. In terms of movement alone, it is enough to describe it as "overwhelming"!

When I was still amazed. I heard the old ghost cry out in fright, "Snow ...... Avalanche! ”

Everyone had never seen such a posture, and they didn't react in time for a while. Only the old ghost can never contain things in his mouth. With his voice, everyone was pulled back to reality from their panic and distraction.

The speed of the avalanche is really not ordinary. It was still far away from us just now, but now in the blink of an eye, it is very close to us. The big man seemed to come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "The avalanche is coming, everyone pay attention to avoid it, and try to hide yourself in a relatively hidden place." It would be great if you could fix yourself, but you can't bury yourself too deeply! Act now, now! ”

When we heard the big man's voice, we felt like we had been electrocuted, and we immediately became energetic. No one was ambiguous, and immediately looked around for a place to hide, and the reaction speed seemed to be faster than usual.

Although I was also panicked in the face of such a scene. However, when I heard about the big one, I immediately looked around and looked for shelter. Luckily, there was a thick tree not far from us. For some unknown reason, the huge tree is almost dead. But there was a big hole in the trunk of a tree that almost four or five adults could not wrap around!

I saw that this was the best place to live, and there was nothing to hesitate about. Before I could react, I pulled her and ran into the hollow of the tree.

The old ghost may have seen this tree hole too, and he wanted to rush here with Lisa. However, when he saw that Duoduo and I were almost there, he immediately changed direction.

When I saw this, I immediately beckoned to them and motioned for them to come too. Although this tree hole is not very large, the four of them can barely stay if they squeeze it.

But the old ghost did not come in our way, but ran in the other direction.

When I saw that the situation was urgent, I was so angry that I yelled: "What are you doing? Why don't you hurry over? ”

"No!" The old ghost didn't reply and pulled Lisa and ran, shouting as he ran: ", I'm not stupid!" It's such a small tree hole, four people huddled together, if we let the snow bury us, we'll all die! You'd better stay honest, and we'll find another way! ”

With that, the old ghost grabbed Lisa and ran out of my sight.

Duoduo and I have gone into hiding, so we have free time to check on the others. At this time, I saw that the big man and Qian Cheng also found a place to hide at about the same time. Among the few of us, the old man was the only one standing still. He looked like he had no fear of the avalanche coming at us.

I was too anxious for a while, and I didn't dare to rush out, so I could only shout to him in the hollow of the tree: "Senior, why don't you run away quickly?" If you are looking for death, don't pick this time! (To be continued......)
