Volume 2 The Battle of the Ring Chapter 165 Climbing the Mountain
What was it like to climb a snowy mountain for the first time?
Cold, very cold.
Even though he was wearing gloves, his palms felt like they were soaked in ice water.
The altitude here is high, and the lack of oxygen is accompanied by an unimaginably low temperature.
The ice axe was held tightly in my hand, and a safety rope was tied to Aaron to prevent one party from accidentally falling and the other from holding on.
Of course, there is a worst-case scenario, which is for the two to fall together.
"Why, why do we climb over, do we have to climb all the way to the top?" I shouted at Aaron above against the wind and snow whistling in my ears.
He bowed his head and responded, "Stupid, we have no other way but to climb the mountain, of course we have to."
"Can't you get around it?" I asked.
"You read the map first, and then you have to go all the way to the coast on both sides of the continent, and to get around it, you have to walk a long circle, and finally you have to cross the sea." Aaron's voice was so cold that it trembled.
"That's not going to work, if we continue like this, we won't freeze to death if we climb on it, and we will die of lack of oxygen!"
I'm starting to get a little dizzy, and I don't know how Aaron feels.
He sighed, "Oh, it's almost there, the villagers said there was a road up there.
So we don't need to climb over the top of the mountain, we just need to find the way around the whole mountain, follow it, walk over it."
With that, he continued to climb with the ice axe in his hand.
I looked down at the snow-capped ground below, and it was close to a height of more than a thousand meters, but my vision was not very clear due to the obstacles of risk.
I felt a little afraid of heights, and my heart trembled.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up!" Aaron was urging.
After noticing that the safety rope between us was being pulled straight, I began to continue climbing up with an ice axe.
I wondered, "Why do you insist on climbing the mountain, if it were me, I would rather go a little further than take this risk."
"Hehe, there is only one life in life, how can I do it if I don't experience it well, maybe I won't have a chance to climb the snow mountain later, so I have to enjoy it this time." Aaron chuckled.
I complained, "No wonder the foreign population is so small!"
To be honest, I didn't want to take that risk.
If you can live longer, you can live longer, and there is no need to lose your life in pursuit of excitement.
In my previous life, I often saw on my mobile phone that those foreign friends were flying on the eaves and rock walls, which looked very cool, but it was very risky.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of deaths from unnatural old age abroad is as high as one million.
Originally, I didn't want to do this, but I was brought up by Aaron's ghost.
It's too late to regret it now, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, I don't know how to go down.
After climbing up for nearly ten minutes or so, Aaron suddenly said loudly: "I found it, there is still a distance of ten meters, the rope on my side has been straightened, you hurry up and climb up!"
I sped up to climb up, but at this moment, a piece of crushed ice smashed straight into my face, and it felt like I had been slapped hard, and it was very painful.
I looked up and suddenly saw Aaron's figure falling, and I was about to hit me, so I dodged sideways in time.
I was holding the ice axe in one hand and felt the pull coming from beneath me.
Aaron clung to the safety rope that attached to my waist while I clutched the ice axe.
He should have stepped on the air just now, that's why he suddenly fell.
It's really thrilling, I was almost taken down by him.
I pulled the safety rope with my other hand to prevent it from releasing from me, and slowly waited for Aaron to climb up.
He shouted to me, "No, my tool has fallen and I can't climb it."
I feel helpless, and I can only rely on me to bring him up slowly.
He continued, "The ice wall under my feet just now shattered and I accidentally slipped down, so be careful, and you'll find that path in no time."
I climbed up as hard as I could, wrapping the rope around my waist a little more just in case.
Eventually, I noticed a wall of ice that was hollowing inwards above.
Reaching up and hooking the edge with an ice axe, I climbed up harder.
It turns out that the path that Aaron spoke of is here.
It was a hollow road, as if it had been carved out by hand, and it was about three or four meters wide.
I pulled Aaron up smoothly, and then gasped for air on the ground.
The wind and snow around him began to intensify, blowing like a knife on his face.
I lifted the scarf around my neck up a bit and used it as a mask to cover half of my face.
"What's next?" I wondered.
Aaron looked at the ground carefully and said, "This road is the same principle as a spiral, counterclockwise is the upward direction, we can follow this road all the way to the top of the mountain."
"Oh, that's about the same as a winding road." My voice.
"No, the winding road is jutting outward, and this road is recessed inside, and there are some ice picks at the edge of the road, let's go as far as we can." Aaron Road.
I followed him, bent over and bowed my head, carrying the blowing snow and staggering forward.
Sure enough, as he said, the road was like a spiral in a counterclockwise direction, and following this direction, we got higher and higher, approaching the top of the mountain.
At this moment, I felt a stirring in my arms, lifted my clothes to check, and found that it was the taming ball vibrating violently.
Stop, I'm holding the taming ball.
It felt like a vibrator to me, and my arms couldn't help but tremble.
Something must have gone wrong with the storm, and it seems that he is in a hurry to get out of it.
I remember an adventurer reminded me before that elven beasts were domesticated from monsters, and they retained a bit of wildness, and as they were domesticated for a longer time, the wildness would gradually dissipate.
In the early stage, there will often be a situation of elf beasts restless, and they will rampage inside the beast taming ball, which will cause the beast taming ball to collapse.
The best way is to let them out for a while, and then put them in the taming ball when they are tired of playing, and they will naturally become familiar with the space inside and get used to resting in it.
I pressed the button in the center, and as the red light was released, the storm was released by me, fanning its wings, stirring up a cold wind, and circling around me.
It lay directly on my back, its thick tail wrapped around my waist, and it felt like a python on its body.
The pointed front paws were placed on my chest, giving me the feeling of being held and rubbed from behind by a lewd uncle in the subway.
But at least it's not so cold, like a warm baby that automatically heats up.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Roaring ......"
It let out a low roar, a little weak, and the screams of its stomach echoed all around.
"This guy is hungry, haven't you fed him in a few days?" Aaron's voice.
I looked at him in front of me and said bitterly, "I can't afford it, this guy has enough food for me for a week, no, it's more than me for a week."
That's why I usually let him eat all at once, so that he can take care of it for a few more days."
He faced me and paused, "This dragon you raised is pretty good-looking, and the humans of this world are afraid of this creature."
"Of course, if it grows into a big dragon in the future, I can still fly on it...... Uh, watch out for the back!"
As I was talking, I noticed a dark shadow suddenly swooping out behind Aaron.
