Chapter 114: Ascending to Heavenly Peak

"Whew... Call... "......On the long glacier line of the polar ice sheet, a black shadow is advancing.

In such a cold place, every breath of air has to endure the chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and the exhaled heat has not even had time to enjoy the hard-won freedom, it turns into a pile of fine ice ballast and falls, returning to the original confinement.

The sky was still gray, but the light was still there, and a huge full moon hung in the sky, representing the night of the ice field. In the polar ice fields, where the sun rises and sets every day, the only constant is the light here, never as bright as the Holy City of the Holy See, and never as dark as the dark forest. It maintains a fixed brightness, constant, and if it were not for the sun and moon as a reference, everyone would be able to distinguish between day and night.

Gloomy paused, staring into the distance.

From the direction where Yin is, the foot of Tongtian Peak is already clearly visible, but its upper end is even more difficult to see, which means that Yin is already very close to Tongtian Peak, and at his current speed, he will be able to reach the foot of Tongtian Peak in another day.

"......Huh" let out a long breath, took out a rudimentary map from his bosom and opened it, looked in the direction he was in now, then looked at the next road, and nodded with satisfaction.

The map is really rudimentary, just a piece of animal skin with some triangles and some thin red lines drawn on it, and some places with some crosses and forks, where the danger zone is depicted. Other than that, there are no other signs on the map.

That's right, this map was found from the slaughtered orc tribe, and it was placed in a wooden chest, which was not made of good wood, but here, wood is one of the most precious things, and what can be packed in a wooden box shows how important it is.

In the beginning, it didn't go so smoothly when I looked at the map......

Whoa...... Whoa...... Whoa......

The tough animal skin map has become as thin as a piece of paper because of the long-term loss of water, and it will make a crisp scratching sound like paper when you stretch it.

Looking at this map from front to back, the second monk was puzzled. No way, this picture is so rudimentary and abstract that only orcs can understand it, just as the ancient people's knotted rope characters can only be fully understood by the ancient people themselves.

Civilization is constantly evolving, simplicity is constantly replaced by complexity, but complex things are also difficult to understand simple things, which is the civilization generation gap. The civilization of the orc race is lower than that of any other civilization, which means that the civilization generation gap between the orc race and other races is too large, resulting in incomprehension between the two sides.

"What the hell is drawn on this picture? It's a circle and a triangle. These damn greenskins can't even draw a map! they're stupid!" Gloomy threw the skin map to the ground in his hand in anger - he couldn't understand what the triangles, circles, and thin lines on this map meant.

Now all the orcs have been dealt with by him, and there is not even one who can explain it to him. But even if there is a living one, he can't tell him, only the patriarch of this tribe has an orc who understands the lingua franca, except for him, the other orcs tell him, and he can't understand it at all, and in the end he will be hacked to death in a fit of rage.

The skin map lay on the ground, and from time to time the corners were blown up by the north wind, and after a while, a thin layer of snow hid the map.

After being in place for a while, he picked up the animal skin map from the ground, shook off the snowflakes on it, and began to study it again.

"Uh...... According to the historical work "History of the Rise and Fall of the Continent", the triangle is the most worshipped pattern of the orcs, representing the mountain. I'll think of the triangle as a mountain, and the circles on it probably represent a cave or something like that, so the lines that pass through the triangle and the circle should be the route. It is clear that it is a danger zone. I'm really glad that I'm more proficient in the study of mainland history, otherwise I'll definitely be driven crazy if I change to a shadow demon. Belch...... Let's confirm it as we go. ”

......

That's how he stumbled to figure out what the patterns and symbols represented.

It had been four days since he left the orc tribe, and in those four days he had not encountered any tribes, and he had traveled almost sleeplessly. The hard work paid off, and Tongtian Peak was finally close at hand.

When the sun rose, Gin finally came to the foot of Mt. Tsuten.

Looking at the peak of Tongtian Peak from here, it is endless at a glance, before seeing Tongtian Peak from a long distance, you may still think that it is not so high, but now when you look at it, you know how high this majestic continent's highest mountain is, and only then do you know how naïve your thoughts are.

"Oh, Tongtian Peak, you really have Tongtian Peak. He glanced at Tongtian Peak, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The mountain was a bit high, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain even when his neck was sore, and a cloud covered the top of the mountain. I don't know if I'll be able to climb to the top.

The breath exhaled by "......" once turned into ice ballast, but this time the wind was blowing towards him. Suddenly, the ice ballasts on his face were blown all over his face, and only his two eyes were exposed, and he directly turned into a white man.

"Ahem, ahem. He spat out a mouthful of ice ballast, touched his face angrily, and said, "You don't want to stop me from going up the mountain!"

As he said, he strode up to Tongtian Peak, because of the protection of the orc clan, Tongtian Peak had never been boarded, and this move made him the first person to climb Tongtian Peak, and "broke a place" for Tongtian Peak.

I don't know if I don't board, and I'm scared. This mountain has not been waited for, so there is not even a decent road on it, and if you want to go up, you can only climb it little by little.

Thanks to the fact that there are no orcs patrolling here, otherwise I am afraid that I will be surrounded by countless angry orcs. This guy had the audacity to climb their holy mountain!

Bell!

The "Autumn Leaves" double blade is used as a short-handled pickaxe, and he chiseled small pits one by one in the ice to fix himself and make himself less easily blown down by the wind - the wind on the mountain is several times stronger than at the foot of the mountain, and if it is not good, it is possible to be wrapped in the wind and fall to the bottom of the mountain, the current height is not bad, and he can't die if he falls, but if it is a little higher, it will be difficult to say, fall from a place that is too high, even if he is a demon, he can't bear it, not to mention that he can't fly.

Gloomy is now suddenly very envious of the succubus, because the succubus has wings and can fly, not only can it not fall to death, but it can also be used to travel.
