Avoiding the resentful eyes that were pale and waiting to look over, Shen Fei stretched out casually, packed his sleeping bag, and after eating briefly, he packed his mountaineering bag.

According to the date I inquired yesterday, today should be January 28th.

After a while, there was a sound of farewell outside, and the three of them also walked out.

Gatlov and his party were saying goodbye to Yudin, and Yudin also had some regrets, but due to physical reasons, he continued to follow and would only drag everyone down, so he had to return.

Shen Fei also stepped forward to say goodbye to him, and handed over a rune paper of the Light Body Technique, which was scavenged from Yan Laosan in the previous world.

"Thanks, what is this?"

"This is our lucky talisman of the East, the meaning is to bless the journey safely, if you encounter any danger when returning, you can crush this talisman, maybe with the blessing of the mysterious Oriental power, you can run faster."

Yudin took the light talisman, hugged Shen Fei, and embarked on the route back.

Shen Fei looked at his back and sincerely wished him a smooth journey, after all, this was related to his mission evaluation.

This is also the luckiest person among the ten people in the original world, and the only one who survived.

Yudin's figure away from this place was a little relaxed, obviously he was returning alone, and there was still the pain caused by the disease on his body, but he still couldn't resist his brisk pace, I don't know if he sensed something in the dark.

After everyone said goodbye to him, they continued to walk towards the target snow mountain, and there were three more Shen Fei, and the road was a little more lively.

The crowd followed a river all the way north, and the means of transportation was skis.

Yes, the crowd stepped on skis and walked north along the river, not too slowly.

Compared to walking in the snow, skiing is faster and less physically necessary, and everyone's luggage is pulled by a horse led by a trekking team.

Shen Fei followed the leader, at the front of the team, pale waiting in the middle of the team, and Forty-Four was at the end of the team, and the three of them tacitly adjusted their respective positions.

On the way, in addition to paying attention to the movements around him, Shen Fei was chatting with Gathlov to get some information.

He discovered that Dyatrov had a fanatical love for mountaineering, and his dream was to conquer the Ural Mountains, the mountains where they were targeting.

Compared with other mountain ranges, the Ural Mountains have more mountain cracks and magnetic disturbances, which add a lot of challenges to climbing.

To reach the summit of Khorat Mountain, one must pass through a mountain called Kholat Syakhl, which means "mountain of death" in the Mansi language.

Shen Fei could hear from his words that he had a deep obsession with climbing to the top of Horat Mountain.

All but one of the team members are under the age of 25, with the youngest being a woman, Ruda, who is only 20 years old.

Yuri was constantly scurrying around in the front, middle and back of the group, he was a good friend of Gatlov and a living treasure in the team, making the two ladies laugh along the way.

But it can be seen that many people in the team are a little tired of him, maybe he has too strong a sense of existence, and he also brought a mandolin with him when he came out to climb the mountain, and when everyone was resting, he also took it out to play and show off

The mandolin is a local musical instrument.

Shen Fei followed the leader, there are not many things to pay attention to, there are no large predators here, and he has not yet reached the foot of the mountain at this time, so he does not need to pay attention to the avalanche.

However, Gatlov told Shen Fei that he needed to pay attention to the local indigenous people, the Mansi people.

The Mansi people make a living from hunting, and there have been rumors of Mansi attacking mountaineering teams, so they have to be guarded against.

Along the way, the three players have already figured out the situation of everyone in the team.

During the lunch break, the three of them gathered the news and found a gossip.

The second woman in the team had a relationship with Yuri, the most detached, but they have broken up.

But Shen Fei saw a photo of the woman in the wallet of the team leader Gatlov, and the three men were chatting and gossiping, and there was a strange laugh here, which was called an obscenity.

There was talk and laughter along the way, and they took pictures from time to time, until it was a little dark, and the leader Gatlov found a suitable venue and beckoned his companions to set up a tent together.

Shen Fei and the three of them were also near their tent, set up a three-person tent, and after feeling the pale eyes of a day of waiting for resentment, Shen Fei offered to come to watch the night tonight.

Pale waited for hearing this, and his eyes became even more resentful, as if he was accusing Shen Fei, you really did it on purpose last night.

The three of them set up their tents and joined the team to collect firewood, and they had to pick up more in the two days to prepare for camping up the mountain.

In the evening, everyone sat in a circle around the campfire, warming themselves by the fire and chatting in low voices.

I can hear that everyone's family background is not the same, some have a solid background, and some can only barely get by.

When the beds were divided, a little farce was staged, and since no one wanted to sleep by the fire, everyone voted for the seats.

And everyone voted unanimously to let Yuri sleep by the fire.

Yuri reluctantly lay down, swearing and swearing about betrayal of him.

Since Shen Fei's spirit broke through to 9 o'clock, he found that his need for sleep had decreased somewhat.

While everyone was still asleep, he squinted for a while, and came over alone in the second half of the night, but he was not very tired.

On January 29, everyone woke up and the trip continued.

It was a little colder today, and the group continued along another river, and according to the itinerary, there were still two days to reach the bottom of the mountain.

At noon, Shen Fei noticed that not far ahead, there was a bulge made of stones.

The youngest woman in the group, Ruda, seemed excited to see the stone creature and rushed over on her skateboard, and the two men in the group followed.

Seeing this, Shen Fei and the team leader Gatlov led everyone to surround him.

The stones were piled up, and when you look closer, it looks like a shrine, with animal skulls in the middle.

Ruda stepped forward and kicked it over, still indignant: "Damn Mansi, damn snowman, to hell with it......"

Two men were also on hand to help her.

Shen Fei was puzzled and asked the team leader Dhatlov: "What is she doing here?" ”

Dhatlov rubbed his red nose and said to him: "Legend has it that there are snowmen living in this mountain range, and you know it, but wherever there is a snowy mountain, there will always be a legend of a snowman. ”

"And the skull on the stone altar is a tribute from the Mansi to Yeti, the yeti, in exchange for Yeti's protection."

"Two years ago, during a snowy mountain climb, Ruda was shot in the lower leg by a local Mansi hunter, so he hated the Mansi people very much."

After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, expressing helplessness, and had no intention of stepping forward to stop him.
