Chapter 37: The Snowman

The rope is very firmly erected between the ice crevices, and the sharp ice cubes are like thin bamboo shoots, and the rope is sandwiched with steel wires, which has a strong load-bearing capacity. We found the sliding latch in the bag, snapped it onto the rope, and prepared to slide through the guò rope.

Although the mute man was arrogant and indifferent, he took the lead in doing things, fastened the sliding buckle, and his face did not change for a moment, and he stepped into the air, and his hands with cold-proof gloves quickly alternated, and walked towards the opposite side. Tofu glanced at the ice crack, wanted to cry without tears, and said: "Lao Chen, I, I'm afraid of heights, what should I do?" ”

I said: "Close your eyes, if you can't see, you won't be afraid, look at the dumb, how brave people are......" As soon as I finished speaking, the crowd suddenly stirred, and I don't know who said: "There seems to be something moving on the other side." ”

Opposite side?

I looked over and saw a thick layer of snow across the ice crevices, large and small snowdrifts like white dunes, and what else was there? The thought had just flashed through my mind when I saw one of the snow mounds move. The snow mound was originally only the size of a basin, but with this movement, it seemed to grow, and it quickly rose up, and then it shook suddenly, and countless snow pieces were shaken down, only to see a thing more than one person tall and covered with white long hair appear on the opposite side.

"Sss Tofu gasped and said, "Damn, there's an ambush, what is this?" ”

Lu Su frowned slightly, his voice was still calm and calm, but the smile on his face was gone, and he whispered, "Could it be the legendary snowman?" "That thing was originally facing away from us, but in this moment, it has already turned around, and when it turned around, I immediately saw its whole picture, but it was a monster covered with snow-white hair, a face like an orangutan, and sharp claws, indeed very much like the legendary snowman.

At the foot of Xuelong Mountain, the vegetation is dense and grows a kind of red fruit date, it is said that the snowman will come out of the snow mountain and pick this fruit date during the period of food shortage. The Yeti is very hateful to humans, and it is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who liked rare birds and animals, once sent troops into the mountains to capture the snowmen, probably because of this, the Yeti left a bad image of humans. When they pick dates, if they encounter humans, they will become very fierce, and their sharp claws often disembowel, which is miserable.

Of course, these are just some local legends, the so-called wild red fruit dates, which are not found at the foot of Xuelong Mountain, at least not yet.

At this moment, the snowman was standing across the ice crevice, presumably sleeping, and we woke him up at this moment, gasping for breath in his nose, purring in his throat, and making a threatening roar, which seemed very unfriendly. And by this time, the mute had reached the middle of the rope.

He began to retreat, his hands backwards trying to retreat, but at this moment, the other man was suspended in mid-air, unable to move, no matter how fast the snowman was. The thing seemed to have spirituality, and it couldn't reach out to the dumb man, so it slapped a claw on the rope, and the whole rope suddenly swung up and down strongly, if it weren't for the rope being firm and the iron spine hitting deep, I was afraid that it would have loosened or broken long ago. The dumb man was slapped by this, and he lost his balance in an instant, and the whole person lay on his back in mid-air, dripping and spinning, only leaning on the hook on his waist.

The cold hairs I watched stood on end, and at this moment, the dumb man's legs suddenly overlapped and clamped the rope, barely holding his balance. At this time, the long-haired Japanese woman said urgently: "Shoot!" She reminded the rest of the people to react. After Tofu and I joined the team, we shared an equipment pack, but the distribution of this equipment pack is different from that of an ordinary team, not each equipment bag has a complete set of materials, but all the materials are scattered.

For example, Tofu and I were each given a bag of equipment when we went on the road, there were no weapons, no food, no medicine, and the whole two packs were fuel, and the rest of the people either carried a whole bag of medicine, or a whole bag of food, or a weapon, or an object for the next bucket, such a distribution has a big disadvantage, that is, once someone leaves the team alone, it will definitely not survive, because the equipment is single. But this disadvantage, in the inverted team, can be converted into an advantage, that is, the team is united and avoids the situation of eating black and fighting in the nest.

If our team is in danger now, and Tofu and I are separated, under normal circumstances, those ruthless characters who dig mushrooms will abandon us. But in this case, the fuel of the whole team is in the hands of me and Tofu, then they will not dare to give up on us lightly, and vice versa, and it is impossible for me to stand idly by while others are in danger.

The person in charge of the weapon was one of the four people that Lu Su brought to my attention, that is, the thief-eyed, vengeful-loving old smoking gun. Although the weapons are all in his hands, he is not afraid that he will be damaged at a critical moment, unless he wants to starve to death, freeze to death, or die of disease. With this allocation of resources, everyone is tied to the ranks.

The Japanese woman reminded her that the old smoking gun reacted, and hurriedly unloaded the equipment bag and went to dig out the weapons inside. At this time, the snowman is still constantly using his claws or slapping or grasping the rope, the whole rope is shaking violently, and the dumb man is like an acrobat, dangling in the air, completely supported by the sliding buckle on his waist, and due to the low terrain on the opposite side, the sliding buckle unconsciously slides towards the opposite side, if it is not for the dumb hands and feet are fixed on the rope, blocking the speed of the sliding buckle, I am afraid that he will send the snowman to the door.

At this end, everyone took out their weapons and aimed, but at this moment, the mute who was in danger in the air suddenly shouted coldly: "Put down the gun!" ”

The Japanese woman said in a strange Chinese, "Mr. Wu......"

The dumb man said coldly: "Avalanche." As soon as these words came out, I reacted violently, at this moment we are in the middle of the snowy mountain, next to a snowy peak, if the gun is fired at this time, the violent gunfire is likely to cause an avalanche. The situation was too critical just now, and everyone was guided by the words of the Japanese woman, and then they realized that in this case, it is not suitable to use a gun. Only then did I find out that there were very few guns in the equipment bag, only two, which were probably used to deal with emergencies, and the rest were all cold weapons and some inverted tools.

Tofu hurriedly said: "Can't shoot, then what should I do, ah......" He exclaimed, his eyes suddenly stared straight at the mute who followed the rope swinging violently, I followed his gaze, and was suddenly stunned, only to see the dumb man suddenly folded his legs, like a snake, wrapped his legs around the rope, and let go of his hands.

This action, as long as the strength of the legs is strong enough, will not be thrown out, the real test is the psychological endurance of people, after all, few people can do it, in the air, only with the legs hooked with the rope to stabilize the body, not to mention, the rope is still violently shaking.

I don't know what other people's psychology feels, but in short, I can't do this kind of difficult, high-endurance move.

What does the dumb man want to do?

Immediately afterwards, a scene that surprised everyone even more appeared, and the dumb man began to undo the sliding buckle on his waist.

My first reaction was: Is this kid crazy?

Unfastened the sliding buckle, he could be thrown out at any moment and fall into the abyss below. Tofu was even more stunned, jumped to his feet in shock, and said, "Don't think about it, it's not for the sake of seeking death." As soon as the words fell, the dumb man had already untied the forehead sliding buckle, at this moment, he almost only relied on his legs to wrap around the rope, fortunately the rope was of excellent quality, and the clamp was just with iron, otherwise he would have been tossed and broken by the snowman, and the dumb sliding buckle was untied, and immediately held the buckle with one hand, and as soon as his legs were closed, the whole person slid towards the opposite side, and at the same time, I saw that he held the black scimitar on his waist with his other hand.

At this moment, I suddenly understood the dumb man's thoughts. But to understand clearly, if this kind of thing happens to me, even if it happens again, I can't do it, not only physically, but also psychologically, and in this regard, I lose.

The dumb man slid over, almost instantly, and he kicked his legs in the ice cracks, and before the snowman could catch him, the whole person shrunk into a ball and rolled under the snowman's feet like a rice ball. The snowman was large, but very agile, and immediately turned to chase after him, and by this time, the mute had already jumped up from the ground, and two black scimitars suddenly came out of their sheaths, and pierced straight towards the top of the snowman's head from top to bottom.

Then there was a muffled sound, followed by a burst of red liquid splashing out, and the rope still trembled, but the snowman was poured from his head with hot blood coming out of his head. Scarlet blood, sliding down the white hair, fell drop by drop into the snow.

The mute let go of his hand, the man fell to the ground, and the snowman staggered twice, slamming to the ground, splashing countless snow foams.

I turned my head to look at Lu Su next to me, a soft smile appeared on his face again, but this time, his disguise was not so perfect, and in those eyes that had always been gentle, I saw hostility and vigilance, as well as deep shock.

The whole process was almost less than three minutes, but in this short three minutes, what the mute experienced was the danger and high pressure that ordinary people could not bear, and only people who were not afraid of life and death could be so calm and calm.

I believe that I am not the only one who concedes defeat at this moment.

The mute on the opposite side bent down, pulled out the two black murder knives from the top of the snowman's head, and plunged the two knives into the snow, and when he pulled them out again, the blood on them had been wiped clean by the snow. The double knife was sheathed, the dumb man raised his head, and there was a string of blood splashes on his face, he just raised his chin, his eyes were sharp and arrogant, and he said coldly: "Next." ”

Someone pushed me, and then I realized that I was at the front, and then I was next.

This scene was deeply imprinted in my mind, and I had an illusion for a moment that the person opposite seemed to be not mute, not Wu Shui, but the person who came out of the photo: Chen Ci.
