Chapter 482: Step by Step to the Sky (Part I)
Updated: 2013-08-12
Continue upwards until you reach an altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level, and it is still very smooth. Miko Peak is high, but it's not steep, at least so far.
And when he arrived here, the air was already full of cold, and Ling Chen's chest was like a stone slab pressed against him, making his breathing heavy. By 5,500 meters, the vegetation had completely disappeared, and beneath his feet was a snow-capped expanse that spread to the boundless sky.
The temperature, starting from this height, drops below freezing.
Further up, the wind was biting.
At this time, it has reached the position of the main mountainside of Shenzi Peak, which means that in terms of height, it has reached half of Shenzi Peak, and it takes two days. But that's where the real challenge begins.
The snow under your feet is getting thicker and thicker, and stepping on it makes a "bubu" sound. Although it was cold, this level was not unacceptable, and Ling Chen's body did not lose his life due to the cold, and compared to this, what he cared more about was getting heavier and heavier breathing.
The higher the altitude, the thinner the air and the more difficult it is to breathe. In the game world, it is not possible for players to suffocate to death, but this does not mean that the sudden drop in air pressure has no effect on the player at all. The increasingly obvious heaviness in his chest, and the occasional dizziness in his brain, all made Ling Chen frown. At the same time, he quickened his pace and continued to go up without stopping.
By the time we reached an altitude of 7,000 meters, the air was already bitterly cold. Ling Chen's body already had one more thing on his body, and the fox fur coat that had been prepared before wrapped him almost completely from head to toe. Although it was cold, it did not hinder Ling Chen's movement, and the mountain did not become steep due to the increase in altitude.
"Huh...... Who......"
When a normal person reaches such a height, even if he can resist the severe cold, he will be quickly swallowed up by the low air pressure and thin air, and it will be almost difficult to stay awake, and he may even fall into a coma at any time. But, who is Ling Chen? His chest was heavy, and his breathing was heavy, but his eyes were still as clear and cold as ice crystals, without the slightest trace of chaos. Ash is in front of him and guides him on the right path, so that his path forward is still smooth.
8,000 ......-
50,-50,-50……
The loss of life appeared on Ling Chen's and Xiao Ash's bodies at the same time, and the raging cold wind was like a sharp knife, cutting Ling Chen's face and his whole body.
There was still a thick layer of snow under his feet, and the snow was down, and it was a thicker layer of ice, and at this distance, with the balance of Ling Chen, there were two almost slips.
Ash's limbs were completely sunk in the snow, but he still ran briskly in front, leaving a long, straight trail behind.
"By the time we got here, Shenzi Peak had already reached two-thirds of the way." Qi Yue said slowly: "Among the human beings, there are many who can reach this height, and the difficulty for them to reach here is far better than that of the little master. ”
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Indeed...... When the physical exertion is too great, or I can't support it, I can go offline, or I can leave with the Empty Phantom Stone, and when I come back, I am still in the same place. And those who forget the mainland only have one chance. Or up, or backward, once you go back, it is a failure, even if you stop, you can't rest. The cold and low pressure here can quickly take away the physical strength. ”
The super shield guard who climbed 11,000 meters in one breath in Xiao Fengchen's mouth ...... It's a monster!
Continue to travel for a while, and by the time you reach an altitude of 8,500 meters, the rate of health loss has increased to 200 points per second, which is 4 times that of 8,000 meters! Ling Chen had to constantly consume the highest level of recovery potion that he could buy at the moment, the cyan potion, to restore life to himself and Xiao Ash, which was able to curb the rate of life loss.
The road ahead was getting more and more difficult to walk, and the feeling of tightness in his chest was increasing, Ling Chen glanced at the time, took out a scroll back to the city and crushed it. Then, Ling Chen disappeared in a flash of white light, appearing in the town closest to the Langhuan Mountain Range.
Entered the pharmacy to replenish a large number of high-grade recovery pills, found a teahouse and drank a few cups of hot tea comfortably, and then squinted for a while, two hours later, Ling Chen, who was full of spirit and state, stretched his waist, took out an empty phantom bead, and smiled: "Failed ancestors, envy and jealousy!" Brother has a cheat! ”
Put on the fox fur robe, crush the empty phantom bead, and in the next second, the cold and biting air will surround Ling Chen.
When the challengers of the Forgotten Continent arrived here, most of them had been tortured to half their lives from the previous eight-thousand-meter height, and even if they were super masters, they would inevitably lose a lot of physical strength. And Ling Chen's return after resting is equivalent to this is just his starting point, he shouted in a low voice, summoned Xiao Ash, and the shattered shadow opened, stepping on the snow and ice, rushing forward like a violent wind, bringing snow to the sky.
When the health loss reached 300 per second, Ling Chen had to use the [Blue Sky Scale] given to him by Xiao Fengchen, because with such a loss rate, unless he used the precious [Morning Dew], there was no other potion on his body that could keep up with the recovery.
"Ding...... If you use the Green Dragon Scale, you will be completely immune to the loss of health caused by the icy climate for the next three days. ”
Ling Chen reluctantly put away Xiao Ash, the effect of the green dragon scales only worked on him, but not on Xiao Ash. At this time, he had reached an altitude of 8,700 meters above sea level, and he could only walk the rest of the road alone...... If only he could finish it.
9,000 ......
At this point, ninety-nine percent of the challengers will despair.
Here, no amount of heavy clothing can suppress the cold to the bone, and the howling cold wind has not only stimulated the surface of the human body, but has begun to ruthlessly erode the inside of the human body...... The cold feeling is no longer from the outside to the inside, the feeling of pain and distortion of the five internal organs due to the cruel coldness violently hits every nerve in the body.
The mind will also be confused in the thin air, and the vision will become blurred.
It is already a great feat to be able to reach this place, and if there is still a little strength, if there is still a trace of sobriety, it is the wisest and only choice to leave here by all means. Otherwise, after the physical and mental body is completely consumed, the body will be buried here forever, and there is no possibility of leaving.
Obviously, Ling Chen is that one percent.
The loss of physical strength was restrained by the green dragon scales, and it was biting cold, and Ling Chen could bear it. This pain was not even a single hair on a cow compared to the mental torture he had endured. As for the spirit, it is like an unshakable rock, always maintaining absolute sobriety. At such a temperature, ordinary people's limbs will be numb in the cold, and their bodies will hardly obey their own calls, and it will be difficult to walk. His steps were still steady, stepping on higher ground.
Of course, the most important thing is the empty magic bead.
10,000 meters......
When he arrived here, it was the fourth day of Ling Chen's challenge to Shenzi Peak.
Five-sixths of the way up, with only the last two thousand meters remaining, victory seems to be in sight.
But in fact, these last two thousand meters will be the real path to purgatory.
Step by step, step by step!
