Chapter 4: Above the Snow Peak (1)
"Squeak, squeak!" White Cliff walked through the woods, looking up from time to time to observe the surroundings as he walked.
Two hours ago, more than 8,000 martial disciples finally began to march towards Snow Peak.
The team of more than 8,000 people is not small, and if you start a little late, you can see the heads of people all over the mountains and fields when you stand at the bottom of the mountain.
However, when the White Cliff went up the mountain, he only walked for two hours before he found that there was no one around him. The dense jungle at the foot of the snowy ridge was like a huge demonic beast, swallowing everyone into it, and there was no trace of it.
After walking for a while, Bai Ya was feverish, and he had the urge to take off his shirt and climb the mountain bare-chested. But he quickly restrained himself, the warrior in Tsing Yi did not mention the situation at the foot of the Snow Ridge Mountain, but this mountain is uninhabited, and there must be many poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants here.
The iron cloth shirt of the white cliff can resist the sword, but it may not be able to block the sting of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants, and the mouthparts of some poisonous insects are comparable to the golden needles of the royal tomb.
With this in mind, he not only did not take off his clothes, but also added an extra one. At the same time, tie the cuffs and trousers tightly to avoid allowing poisonous insects to slip in.
The white cliff trekked through the forest one foot high and one foot low, while thinking about going up the snowy mountain.
The exam lasted for a week, during which he only needed to find a snow lotus. It's just that before going up the mountain, there are two things that he must solve first. One is the source of food, and the other is the question of rest.
Luckily, before he came, there were some fried noodles and jerky in the mustard seed bag next to him. This was not prepared for him by Feng Yang, but he himself considered that there might be several martial arts exams, and he was ready to replenish his physical strength during the interval.
However, after all, these foods are not too much, and after he practiced hard skills, he had a big appetite, and it was only enough to eat for one day. And he was looking for snow lotus in the mountains, and he couldn't figure it out for three days. In case this happens, he will starve.
The problem of rest is even more serious, the snow peaks are covered with snow and ice everywhere, and it is difficult to find natural caves to hide from the wind.
At present, he has only thought of two ways, one is to learn the film and television dramas he watched in his previous life, dig an igloo in the snow to come out, and then use the igloo as the center to find the snow lotus.
However, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, because he didn't have the tools at hand, and if the ice hole he dug out was not strong, then he would sleep at night, maybe he would dig a pit and bury himself, and die a less aggrieved death.
The second is to rob the nests of snow beasts, such as medium-sized snow apes, and the caves they live in are definitely suitable for themselves. It's just that the snow ape belongs to a family of creatures, and I don't know the specific strength.
If this snow beast had the combat power of a brown bear in his previous life, then he would definitely not be able to deal with several at once.
If you don't solve these two problems, it will be in vain to go up the mountain, and you will definitely not be able to ask the Qingcheng warrior for help in the end.
"Huh~~" Just when Bai Ya was distressed, a wolf howl came from afar.
"Fuck, I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of the treasure house in front of me!" Bai Ya listened to the wolf howl, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "The upper two-thirds of the top of the snow ridge is the snow peak, but the foot of the mountain more than 3,000 meters below is not!"
"There are no ordinary people living here, there are so many wild animals and plants that they are dying, I, a Qi Realm martial artist, would be worried that I have no food or clothing? I am afraid that I will be laughed to death by Feng Yang and the others if it is passed out!"
Bai Ya slapped himself and said to himself with a wry smile, "It seems that this level also tests the martial apprentice's ability to adapt to emergencies, I say, why doesn't Qingcheng set the starting point of climbing the mountain at the third of the mountainside, and set it at the bottom of the mountain."
This is clearly a trick for us to draw materials, if we are really stupid to climb the snow peak directly, it is estimated that nine times out of ten we will be eliminated. ”
Thinking of this, Bai Ya didn't hesitate any longer, and ran towards the place where the wolf howl came out just now.
......
Two days later, Bai Ya finally walked out of the jungle at the foot of the mountain and saw the majestic snow-capped peaks in front of him.
For the past two days, his mustard seed bag has been stuffed with all kinds of food, including roasted wolf meat, bear meat, honey, snake gall bladder, and so on. There is also a hastily washed bear skin that is tied up and carried on the back.
It's just that because he hasn't washed for two days, he is unkempt and dirty, and he looks like a wild man.
"Hehe!" Looking at the mottled peaks in front of him, which began to mix black and white, White Cliff took out a pair of homemade glasses from the mustard seed bag and hung them on his ears.
The glasses were peculiar, the lenses were a thick, translucent leaf, and he had a few spare ones in his pocket, and the frames were strung with bark.
In his previous life, he had heard of snow blindness, which was formed by the reflection of sunlight on snow. Since he had to stay in the mountains for days looking for snow lotus, he didn't want to have a temporary problem with his eyes.
"Let's go!" White Cliff ran forward with confidence.
Because he ate and slept well in the first two days, he didn't consume much physical strength, and wanted to rush towards it as much as possible on the third day. The Tsing Yi warrior said that snow lotus likes the cold, and the higher the mountain, the more likely it is to appear.
The next day was the best time for White Cliff, and he didn't want to waste it on the mountainside.
After walking on the black and white mottled snow for a while, White Cliff felt the malice of nature.
The temperature here was completely different from the jungle below, and he quickly put on a few changes of clothes in the mustard seed bag except for the bear skin behind him. Even so, the cold wind still drilled into his neck, so that he couldn't feel the warmth of his clothes at all.
The snow here has not yet been frozen, the ground is extremely muddy, and the plants are devoid of tall trees, mainly low shrubs. Looking further up the mountain, the vegetation was getting thinner and thinner, and he would soon enter the true range of the snow peak.
Bai Ya looked up at the sky, wondering if he would stay here today and continue to climb tomorrow.
But he quickly self-denied, and time was running out. If you deduct the two days that he is ready to go down the mountain, he has three days left at most, and he can't waste time halfway.
Hurrying slowly, the white cliff finally walked through the muddy section, except for the brown rocks that occasionally showed snow, and the eyes were already white. He put on his foliage glasses and quickened his pace again.
"Huh!" After about two hours, the sky gradually darkened. Just when Bai Ya wanted to find a leeward place to rest, two figures appeared in front of him.
"Sister Ling, you go up the mountain, I can't walk with this leg, and when I light the Zhong Lingmu card, someone from Qingcheng will come to pick me up from the mountain." ”
"No, you and I came to Qingcheng to take the exam together, how could I leave you alone......"
"Sister Ling, look, there's someone over there!"
Bai Ya saw someone in front of him, and cautiously stopped to observe.
The two men were a man and a woman, and the man's face was immature, and he didn't look much older than him. The woman was older, with a ponytail, wearing a gray short training uniform, and a heroic face.
Not far from the two lay a snow wolf covered in snow-white fur, which had been dead for a long time.
Bai Ya's gaze moved down, and he saw that the young man's ankle was swollen with a large bag, and he covered it with ice and snow to apply a cold compress, which should have been a fork in the fight.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ya raised his eyebrows slightly.
The martial arts test arranged by Qingcheng for women is different from that of male martial artists. This woman will be here now, it should be voluntary, and it may have something to do with the young man.
He glanced at the two of them warily and walked to the side, intending to bypass them.
"Wait!" When he was almost past the two, the woman finally moved, and a dodge blocked the way of the white cliff.
"Hmph!" Bai Ya's face sank, and he didn't open his mouth to ask, he snorted coldly, and kicked his right leg with force, like a tiger pounced, and slammed into the woman. Before the person arrived, the tiger claw in his right hand had swept towards the woman's neck with a fierce wind.
"You...... I ......" The woman was furious, she didn't expect Bai Ya to come up and ask without asking, and directly hit a heavy hand.
For a moment, her instinctive reaction was faster than she thought, and as soon as she made a mistake, she flashed to the side. Although he dodged the tiger claws of the White Cliff, he could no longer block the way.
Bai Ya's eyes flashed, and he swept past the woman without stopping, and ran towards the mountain with all his strength. The woman was stunned, at a loss for a moment, and was pulled away by him in an instant.
"Bastard, don't you have the slightest chivalrous heart?" came the woman's angry and angry scolding from behind Bai Ya.
"Cut!" Bai Ya couldn't help but pout, and ran away without looking back.
Chivalrous heart should also be used in the right place, this mountain full of martial artists are all competitors, who will help whom? If you can't stand it, you will burn the Zhong Lingmu card, and you don't have to be dead!
Do you want to help you find Snow Lotus again, and help you rub your ass by the way by the way?
This woman is probably used to being held by the stars of the boys in the martial arts hall, when this is the place?
I don't take advantage of the girls' group, and I actually join in the fun in the boys' group. Even if she is given the pass of the Snow Mountain, with her innocence, the martial arts test will still make her wash her face with tears.
A moment later, Baiya saw a small pillar of smoke rising from the mountainside just now. It seems that they still made a choice, that is, they don't know if the boy will go down the mountain alone, or give up with the woman.
What does this have to do with me! Bai Ya immediately shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts about the two of them, and raised his eyes to look at the mountain.
He had come down the day, almost halfway up the mountain, and it was already dark, and he had to find a leeward place to spend the night.
The temperature on the mountain was getting colder, light snow began to blow, and there were some indistinct black spots in the misty sky, which seemed to be some kind of bird of prey. If the warriors really die here, they will make food for these flat-haired beasts.
About half an hour later, White Cliff was lucky enough to find a leeward cliff.
He took out a bundle of things from the mustard seed bag, the most important result of his two days, a small tent made of bark and branches. I don't expect this thing to be strong, as long as it can block the wind and snow, it can support it for as long as it can.
He draped the bearskin over his body and fit into the bark tent. However, instead of sleeping like this, he took out the vial of the remaining five small Vajra pills, threw one into his mouth, and then put out the lying stake of the Vajra Great Mudra, closed his eyes and began to settle down.
