After another hour or so, the eastern sky finally revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

This night, due to the strange noise on the snowy mountain and the "harassment" of the black shadows, Duan Pingsi, Professor A and Zhang Yu did not sleep well, and the invasion of the cold made everyone feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

After eating some compressed biscuits and canned beef, Duan Pingsi was listlessly sorting his luggage, folding the tent first, and then packing the other supplies into his backpack one by one.

Professor A was still writing and drawing in his notebook, recording as much information as he could, while Zhang Yu looked idle, standing quietly on the edge of the cliff and watching the snow.

"Why are all six oxygen cylinders missing?" Duan Pingsi suddenly raised his head and shouted, "It's strange, not a single oxygen cylinder is gone, and ......, oh, and the climbing rope are all gone!" ”

"What?"

"What's going on, look for it?"

When Professor A and Zhang Yu heard Duan Pingsi say this, they walked over quickly to check their equipment, and sure enough, they found that the oxygen cylinders and climbing ropes were all gone.

"It must have been that guy who did it last night!" Zhang Yu angrily picked up a stone and threw it down the cliff.

Professor Ah carefully observed the footprints near the tent, and after a while, he said slowly: "You see that these footprints are all large and small, shallow and deep, the big ones are like human footprints, and the small ones are like horse footprints, which is very strange. ”

"Is it another strange creature?"

For some reason, Duan Ping thought of the "ancient ape", and then thought of the gray squirrels that eat meat, they are all from this snow, and there may be some strange connection between them.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a tearing sound piercing through the air suddenly sounded, and then a flying rock fell from the glacier in a perfect parabola, falling into the snow less than half a meter away from Duan Pingsi, and almost hit the sole of his right foot.

"Sure enough, someone is doing something!"

Zhang Yu pointed to a depression in the glacier and shouted, Duan Pingsi and Professor A followed Zhang Yu's direction, only to see a figure standing there in a black suit.

"Hurry up and chase it!" Professor Ah shouted.

The three of them immediately pulled their legs and ran in different directions towards the depression, losing the oxygen tank and the climbing rope was tantamount to putting themselves in danger, they hoped to catch the man in black and get back their belongings.

However, by the time the three of them reached the glacier panting, the man in black was long gone, leaving only some wet footprints in the depression.

"Not good!" Professor A suddenly exclaimed again, "We have fallen for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

After saying that, Professor A immediately ran back to the place where he was camped, and Duan Pingsi and Zhang Yu had no choice but to follow closely with a blank expression.

As the group hurried back to camp, they found that all the luggage they had brought with them was gone, and there was a row of footprints of various sizes next to it.

"Sure enough, I was deceived by him!" Professor A said angrily, "I don't know what this thing is doing stealing our equipment? ”

"Are we being fooled like this?" Zhang Yu also smiled helplessly.

"The point is, why did this guy steal from us? Is it because there is nothing to eat? Or is it because it wants to kill us? Or is it just to tease us? ”

Professor Ah squatted on the snow, measuring the size of the footprints with a tape measure, racking his brain to think about these questions, he hoped to find the answers as soon as possible, otherwise the lives of several people might be in danger.

"I don't think he has any ill intentions!" Duan Pingsi looked at the glacier above and said.

"Hey, hey! Duan, how can this be seen? He took all our equipment and food, and we might not be able to get down the mountain because of this, if there is no malice, then what does he want to do? ”

Zhang Yu retorted, it was obvious that he still maintained his unique calmness under such conditions, which made both Duan Pingsi and Professor A very impressed.

Duan Pingsi lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "You see, that stone can obviously hit me, but he didn't do it, he could have stolen more things and even killed us all last night, but he still didn't do that, I think he stole some of our things, just hope that we will go down the mountain as soon as possible, so that we don't continue to investigate here." ”

The thought of the possibility of being "killed" sent chills down everyone's spine, life in the city may be too comfortable, and it is indeed dangerous for them to fall into such a dangerous situation.

This place is steep and snowy, even if he is accidentally killed, it is difficult for anyone to find out, and the more Duan Pingsi thinks about it, the more uneasy he feels.

"There is this possibility, he wants us to go down the mountain as soon as possible, but we are already riding a tiger now, and we don't have any equipment in our hands, so how can we talk about going down the mountain?"

On the one hand, Professor A agreed with Duan Pingsi's point of view, but on the other hand, he also raised questions, at this moment, the three of them had nothing left except the clothes on their bodies, and it was indeed impossible to climb down from the glacier and rocks like this.

Zhang Yu looked at the sky, and at this time the sun had risen, so he said: "Now the plan, it is impossible to chase the man in black again, we can only find a way to go down the mountain as soon as possible, go as far as we can, if it is dark and we can't go below the snow line, then we will really be more auspicious!" ”

"That's the only way!" Professor A also said.

As soon as they said to go, Duan Pingsi and the three of them each broke a branch from the bushes to use as a cane, and walked down the mountain with it.

However, in this icy and snowy land, how easy is it to move forward by leaning on a branch? At first, the glacier was flat, so it was easy to walk on, but you were able to walk slowly.

When they reached the steep part of the mountain, there was little support on their feet, and even though the three of them supported them hard, they almost fell off the cliff several times.

"Squeak!"

For some reason, Duan Pingsi and the three of them heard the cries of the gray squirrels all the way, but they couldn't see them at all, and when they stopped and tried to judge the direction of the call, the gray squirrels immediately became quiet again.

"These guys are very good, I guess it's a joke!" As he spoke, Professor Ah looked at the cliff below, and found that there was a small avalanche there, and his face changed slightly.

At this time, Duan Pingsi became exhausted again, he was sweating profusely and lying on a bent tree, some regretted this trip to the snow mountain, he knew in advance that there were difficulties, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous.

"Click! Click! ”

There was a sudden thin sound behind him, and Duan Pingsi didn't care about it at first, until the long-lost eager voice of the ancestor came to his ears again.

"Kid, it's dangerous, run!"

Duan Pingsi's spirit instantly perked up, and when he wanted to pull his leg away, it was too late, and a bright sword silently pressed against his neck.

"Ahh Help ......"
