Chapter 119: The Upward Passage

Large chunks of ice crystals stood around, and because of the cold, even the brown rocks on the mountain walls were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the collapsed buildings were embedded in the mountain, which was also covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.

Jiang Bai felt that this should be the road that once led to the top of the mountain, but it later collapsed and buried the road.

"Huh? There are traces of climbing. Jiang Bai leaned over to the wall to take a closer look.

This is suspected to be a mark left by a hard object such as crampons inserted into the ice and creeping up little by little.

He tried to look up, but the torches weren't bright enough to shine farther.

"This must be the traces left by Kartis, right?"

These traces appear to be very new, and they seem to have been left some time ago, and there is no rain or snow in this closed cave, so these traces are completely preserved.

Some time ago, Katis came to the snow-capped mountains and was obsessed with reaching the top.

Except for the traces left by Katis, Jiang Bai couldn't think of anyone else.

"It should be."

Albedo walked over and followed the trail to look up.

Kartis had been exploring the snowy mountains for many years, and it was normal for him to find a way to the top.

"There seems to be a passage up there, it's too dark to see clearly."

"Then let's go up and have a look!"

It was not easy to climb on this kind of smooth ice, Jiang Bai stuck the torch on the ground, took out crampons and other tools such as ice hooks, first made holes in the wall that could be borrowed, and then moved upwards little by little.

Albedo held a light source and illuminated him.

This work was not easy at all, and after climbing a few meters, Jiang Bai once again felt that he had lost sensation in his hands and feet, his gloves could not keep warm in the slightest, and his fingers were bruised from freezing under the super cold.

Even the eyebrows, eyelashes, and even the hair are covered with a layer of hoarfrost due to the exhaled air combined with this ultra-low temperature.

If there is another beard, Jiang Bai can cos Santa Claus.

"It's so cold...... Isn't this the center of the entire snow-capped mountains? ”

Jiang Bai couldn't wait to wrap himself in a big quilt at the moment, it was best to jump into the fire to keep warm, he felt that he was about to be frozen into ice.

With his physical fitness, it was unbearable, and I really don't know how the adventurer persevered.

Albedo nodded, "It should be." The leyline energy here is quite strong, and ordinary people will be in danger if they stay here for a long time. ”

If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that Katis died because of this too powerful leyline energy.

"I'll make you something that will keep the temperature."

Albedo performed a top-notch alchemy for Jiang Bai on the spot, only to see that when he stretched out his hand, the invisible substance gathered, and a cloud of light surged in the palm of his hand, took shape, and finally turned into a sphere that exuded warmth.

In addition to being able to generate heat, he can also emit light, and although the light is not bright, it is enough to illuminate the road in front of him.

"A simple heating unit should last for a while." Albedo handed Jiang Bai what was somewhat similar to a light bulb.

Jiang Bai took the sphere, and a warmth came out of the sphere in his hand, like taking a hot water bottle filled with hot water.

He looked left and right, and thought it was incredible.

"This alchemy is too convenient, isn't it? Does this count as making something out of nothing? ”

"Alchemy doesn't come out of nowhere, it's just the use of material transformation. The principles and techniques are complex, and to explain them to you, you need to start with the most basic introduction to alchemy......"

"No, no, no, it's not important, it's not important......" Jiang Bai hurriedly stopped Albedo's narration, and if he continued to talk about it, it would become an alchemy class.

Tuck it into the belt and get it stuck, the surging warmth spreads from his waist to his whole body, Jiang Bai feels a lot better, and he will not be frozen into ice.

Moving all the way up, Jiang Bai finally found a small passage that could only accommodate one person.

To be exact, this is not a passageway, but more like a gap created by the collapse of an old building, which was then covered with snow and ice over the years, closing the road upward.

Then Kartis found this place, and against the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, he smashed the frozen ice and dug a passage.

Jiang Bai slowly crawled in the narrow passage that was only large enough for one person to pass, and he didn't know how long he had climbed, but he finally saw the light.

The strength that had been exhausted poured out again, and he quickened his movements and got out of the hole.

It was a shocking sight.

A huge pillar-like object was nailed to the ground with a hammer, and the pillar had a mysterious pattern on it, and the material looked a bit like the base of the Seven Heavens Statue.

The top half of the pillar shattered, revealing the strange glowing hedron wrapped in the stone pillar.

The pillar looked like it had fallen from the sky, falling from the sky like a nail, and the huge impact of the landing smashed the towering summit into a huge pit.

At this time, the pit was completely covered in ice, and huge ice cubes grew around the strange stone nails that came from the sky, and its fragments floated in the air, still, a cold, desolate, and dilapidated scene.

Just when Jiang Bai was shocked, Albedo also crawled out of the cave.

Looking at the huge stone pillar like a spike, he grew his mouth in surprise, "This is?" ”

He also knew that there was such a thing on the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Could it be that this is the reason why Longcrest Snow Mountain will become a snow mountain?

"Katis!"

Jiang Bai saw Katis whose whole person had turned into ice.

He was frozen in the ice around the spike, in a posture of climbing forward, his hand stretched out, trying to touch the huge spike, but the closer he got, the more intense the chill became, and he turned into an ice sculpture, frozen here forever.

Even though he had already known that Katis had died, seeing such Katis, Jiang Bai had an indescribable complication in his heart.

He has spent half his life on this snow-capped mountain, and now he lives and dies here, and he doesn't know if his wish has come true.

It must have been achieved, after all, he had already climbed this peak.

Jiang Bai stepped forward, preparing to remove his body from the ice.

His ruins had been frozen into one with Bingling, and Jiang Bai and Albedo worked together to bring him down, away from the huge stone nail that seemed to be miraculous, but brought destruction.

Finding a leeward place, Jiang Bai took out firewood to light a fire, using the temperature of the flame to keep warm, and at the same time melted the thick ice on Custer's body, preparing to take down his relics so that he could be cremated for him.
