Everything in front of him began to blur, and Feng felt that his lungs gradually began to ache due to the lack of oxygen, and his heart was beating faster and faster, as if he was about to burst open his chest.

"Hey, don't really strangle him, it's still useful for this guy to keep it."

Zhang Haixing stood far away and watched, seeing that Feng had been suffocated to the point of shock, and hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

It's really that Zhang Qi's appearance of looking for murder is too terrifying at the moment, which makes her a little afraid, and she is worried that if she boldly steps forward, she may also be affected.

Since she knew this person, she had seen more than once how fierce this person's essence was, and the anger on his body was just covered by the white skin on weekdays.

"Naturally, I won't let him die so easily."

Zhang Qixun's voice was as cold as a piercing knife, he let go of the hand he was holding, clenched his fist to control the strength, and slammed it into Feng's heart.

"Ho-"

Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air from his mouth, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his pale face gradually returned to normal, his blindfolded eyes opened, he thought that he had just gone out of hell, and a demon grabbed his ankle, wanting to drag him into the ninth layer of Treachery to be punished.

"Let's go." Zhang Qixun dragged him up by the collar, dropped a sentence to Zhang Haixing, and dragged the person to the outside of the cave.

Zhang Haixing hurriedly picked up the things that fell from Feng's body on the ground, put away the flashlight, and followed him out of the cave.

After leaving Feng by the smokeless stove for a long time, he recovered from his near-death horrors, and hugged himself against the stone wall in a trembling manner, unable to say a word.

Wu Xie already knew what was happening, his fingers curled up, he still patted Zhang Qixun on the shoulder, and comforted him softly: "Don't be too anxious, the Kangbaluo tribe has existed in the snow-capped mountains for so long, there must be a means to save their lives at a critical time, the Germans may not be able to succeed, we will set off at dawn tomorrow, speed up, and get there as soon as possible." ”

"I think naïve is right." The fat man handed him a cup of ginger soup, "Isn't your family still enshrined in those ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods, those people who have entered the mountain with you before have been killed by that spell, those people don't understand anything crazy, maybe they don't even know the route, and it is estimated that when they come here, they will also be blind cats and dead rats, and they will hit by mistake." ”

Zhang Qixun shook his head, "They must have a road map in their hands, this road is the only shortcut for the Kangbaluo people to contact the outside world and climb over the snow peak, and people who don't have a map can't find this road at all." ”

"Who gave the map?" The fat man turned his head and slapped Feng's head, and shouted, "Did you bastard give it?" Be honest! ”

Feng was so frightened by this sound that he shuddered, and hurriedly explained, "I gave the map, but I really don't know what they are going to do when they enter the snow mountain, the secrecy level of this group of people is above mine, what they want, I can only cooperate." ”

In fact, even if he didn't know the details, he could guess that the ultimate goal of this team would definitely be the Bronze Gate.

But the headquarters has never left a back hand, he knows very well that he and his team are just advance cannon fodder going to the depths of the snowy mountains, including those people in the past are all victims of the thunder, and the real task of finding secrets is probably this group of people.

The Khamballo are closely linked to the mysterious Bronze Gate, and it's no surprise that they will be targeted by headquarters.

In order to save his life, Feng had to express his speculation, "It is very likely that those people are trying to get something from the Khambaro tribe, and they should not do anything to the residents there at will until they complete the task." ”

"Should?" Zhang Haixing sneered, "What kind of virtue are those Germans, you don't know?" You are not sorry to say this. ”

Feng was speechless, his face was full of shame, and he hung his head silently.

"You'd better pray to your God that things are still under control, otherwise...... Hmph......" Zhang Haixing pursed her lips and glanced vaguely at Zhang Qixun, who closed her eyes and recuperated.

If something really happens to Kangballo, then the quiet company will face more than a crisis from one side.

There was no word for a night, and the next morning the snow completely stopped, and the wind gradually stopped, and there was a rare thick fog on the snowfield, surging like a torrent, as if the sea of clouds above the head fell in large pieces.

After half an hour, the fog was gradually dispersed by the cold wind, and the snow line on the horizon was slightly gray, and after some visibility, everyone immediately packed up their equipment and continued to move forward.

Feng already had a plan in his heart at this time, and nothing was as important as his own life.

After thinking about it for a while, he still opened his mouth to remind: "The footprints left by the wolves in that bear cave are very complicated, I speculate that it should be a wolf pack, the number will not be less than ten, and the traces of gnawing on the bear bones are still very new, which shows that the wolves are likely to return again, and a radius of dozens of kilometers here is their hunting range, and we are also likely to be targeted by wolves." ”

Zhang Haixing turned around and turned her back to the wind, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, we have already found out." ”

Feng was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Haixing turned around and pointed to the top of the snow peak they had just climbed, "Since yesterday afternoon, the wolves have sent bait to pop up behind the snow mound, and on several occasions they have deliberately exposed their bodies for Bai Ci and Bai Ci to see. ”

"Wolves are cunning by nature, and they probably thought we were the ones who came to hunt them, but when they saw that we were indifferent to the lone wolf, they kept falling far behind."

Feng Jian frowned, "Isn't that bad, it has been snowing some time ago, the animals on the snow field are hidden, and the wolves are hungry and can't find prey, so they will definitely not let go of our free food easily." ”

"It's just a dozen wolves, and the old lady will be afraid of them?" Zhang Haixing scoffed at his worries.

"......" Wu Xie was speechless about this, this woman has always been full of confidence, can you consider the psychological shadow area of normal people, that thing is a wolf, not a groundhog.

He poked the fat man with his elbow and lowered his voice, "We don't have her braggart skills, so it's better to be careful." ”

The fat man nodded, "Fat man, I also fought wolves when I was with the team before, this thing is very thief, and it is very vindictive, and it can chase you for dozens of kilometers with a little smell, in my opinion, this group of beasts behind us is not far away, otherwise Bai Ci would not have arranged signal flares outside the cave last night." ”

Wu Xie held the fat man's shoulders and tiptoed to look at the road they had come, where only a row of footprints they had walked had left, and there was no trace of the wolf.

Glancing at the sky, Zhang Qixun urged, "We have to go faster, hurry up, and find a safe shelter before it gets dark, although the wind is small at this time, we may encounter big trouble camping in this wilderness." ”

Everyone nodded, and the team moved on.

Two hours later, a canyon appeared in front of them, sandwiched between two snowy peaks, steep and deep.

According to the instructions on the map, after passing through this place, walk more than 40 kilometers and you will find the group burial iceberg recorded in Naruhito's notebook.

Standing on the mountain, Zhang Qixun quietly looked into the distance, the sunset gradually sank, the snow line on the horizon and the germanium red sunset clouds blended into one color, and the afterglow was evenly spread on the soothing slope like golden yarn, and the white snow was crystal clear, shining like a morning.

A few black dots sporadic on the edge of the snow line bordering the sky sparsely scattered, and soon disappeared among the rolling hills.

Wu Xie got up from the snow pit, wiped off the snow slag on the snow mirror, tightened the scarf around his neck, and said to Zhang Qixun: "I seem to have seen them just now, but I didn't see how many there were for a while." ”

"More than a dozen." Zhang Qixun's face was solemn, and he spoke slowly, "I'm afraid that after we enter the canyon, we will soon see another group of stronger adult wolves, which is probably their intention." ”

Wu Xie was shocked, "You mean, there are two wolves targeting us?" Are they cooperating to surround us? ”

"It's not cooperation, maybe they're a wolf pack." Zhang Haixing took out her binoculars and stared at the cliff above the canyon, where there were also scattered black dots popping up, "It was only the pathfinders of the wolves who chased us before, and the ones who squatted here were the main force of the wolves hunting." ”

"What then?" Wu Xie was a little flustered, there were only five of them, and in the face of such a large-scale encirclement and suppression of wolves, there must be more than one luck, "Otherwise, we won't enter this canyon, and find a way to go around." ”

"No, we have to go in!" Zhang Qixun cut the railway, "We have been trekking for a day, it is the time when people are sleepy and horses are tired, if we continue to hurry, the wolves will definitely take advantage of our fatigue and distraction to carry out the attack, the snow here is so thick, it takes a lot of effort to pull out the leg when you step on it, you can't run far by manpower at all, and then you will be trapped by the snow to play a group, with the endurance of the wolf animal, just the time consumes us to death." ”

Spending the night on the snowy mountains, if they don't find a suitable shelter from the wind, there is no fire source, and the sudden temperature at night can freeze them to death.

"I knew there was a rock jutting out of the canyon where the snow below would certainly not be very thick, and the mountain against it would prevent wolves from sneaking up from behind."

Hearing Zhang Qixun say this, everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately accelerated their speed and moved towards the valley.

The red sun on the horizon has been obscured by the gray snow line, and there is not much time left for them.

The fat man pulled his leg out of the lumpy snow, gasped, and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the Nightmare Beast Gorge, that is, the canyon where animals collectively commit suicide by jumping off a cliff on a full moon night. ”

"What does it have to do with where we are now?" Wu Xie's voice was muffled in a thick scarf, "That kind of death canyon is not all related to the strong magnetic field, if the magnetic field is too strong and uncontrollable, it is easy to cause thunderstorms, and most of the animals in the canyon are killed by the thunder." ”

The fat man pushed the snow goggles, and said earnestly: "Naive, you just read too many books, many abnormal supernatural phenomena cannot be explained simply by approaching science, such as the Zhang family's bell, the Zhang family themselves have not studied what the principle is." ”

Zhang Haixing snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want to express?" ”

"You want to say that the canyon here is also a valley of death? How can you tell? Wu Xie asked.

"Fat man, I can see it with my feet."

The fat man put his hand into the snow hole that he had just pulled out, stretched his cheeks, gritted his teeth, and pulled out a frozen red deer leg from it, with the body of the red deer attached to it.

The mountain walls on both sides of the valley are narrow, the valley is windy, the valley floor is not covered with as much snow as they imagined, the animals that died at the valley floor before were not buried very tightly, and several people found a lot of red deer that froze or fell to death around, and the corpses were almost intact when they were dug out.

"It's probably a herd of red deer, and you can see that there are a lot of them, but why are they all dead here? And most of them are strong male and old deer. Feng was puzzled, "Could it be that the avalanche pushed them down?" ”

"This is going to start with the Nightmare Beast Gorge I talked about earlier." The fat man walked forward, shaking his head and selling knowledge, "Legend has it that those deep mountains and snowfields, inaccessible places, every full moon night, herbivores will gather in one place to jump off the cliff to commit suicide, there is a rumor that the mountain god woke up, and the animals committed suicide in order to appease the anger of the mountain god." ”

"But according to the fat man, this is pure, these animals are clearly driven by something, and they have to jump from the top of this canyon, and if they can't jump, they fall down and die, just like we see now."

Although the carcasses of these animals are frozen very strongly, they have actually shown signs of deterioration, and they can reach this level in the extremely cold environment of more than minus 20 degrees, indicating that these animals have been dead here for a long time, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and the carcasses have melted and frozen.

"You say there's something behind to drive them away? Could it be that you mean a wolf? Feng questioned, "But even if there are wolves behind to deliberately drive the deer to the cliff, with the running and jumping ability of adult red deer, they can completely jump over this section of the canyon crack that is less than ten meters wide." ”

The fat man glared at him angrily, "Can you grasp the point of Lao Tzu's words?" There is obviously so much ready-made food here, how good it is to dig it out of the snow and have a good meal, why do the wolves still run thousands of miles to chase us, is it because you German hairy and fleshy wood gnaws on the incense? ”

Feng was sprayed with saliva by the fat man, turned his face away, wiped it with his sleeve, and at the same time was excited by the ice, his brain suddenly turned around, "I see, you mean to say that this canyon is a special place for the wolves chasing after us to store food, and they need to constantly drive their prey to this place to kill, and store it at a low temperature with ice and snow to prepare for the whole winter when there is a lack of food." ”

"But ......" Despite the fat man's glare, Feng still insisted on asking the doubts in his heart, "Why are all adult deer dying here?" (End of chapter)
