The reborn dragon is in the city

Chapter 979
Chapter 979
Holding the binoculars in the backpack, looking towards the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain from their current position, the towering peaks are covered with thick snow and ice, and the dense forest has long since disappeared, leaving only some low shrubs and weeds along the Their current position slowly extended towards the snow line. After extending for a certain distance, all the greenery disappeared completely, only the bare ground and the accumulated ice and snow on the ground.

In winter, where they are now is covered with snow and ice, but now, here is only covered with waist-high weeds and some slightly taller shrubs.

From now on, they can be considered to have entered the real Kunlun Mountains.

"where are we going!"

Xu Shaotang moved the binoculars away from his face, and pointed to the highest mountain peak. From the middle of the mountain, that mountain peak was covered with ice and snow, and even without a binoculars, he could see a little white.

Xu Shaotang's idea is very simple, stand high and see far, only standing on the highest mountain can you see the surrounding situation.

Long Fei nodded and said, "Okay! Then let's speed up and head towards that mountain!"

Without the cover of the dense jungle, their speed was significantly faster. Because of Pi Yongchun's following, they did not increase their speed to the fastest, otherwise Pi Yongchun would definitely not be able to keep up with their speed.

The so-called Wangshan running dead horse, although it seems that the distance between them and the highest mountain is not very far, but when they actually walked, they found that the distance was far beyond their imagination.

While walking, Xu Shaotang suddenly stopped his steps, and then raised his head to look at the gloomy sky above.

"What's the matter?" Long Fei also looked at the sky, except that the sky was a little gloomy, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Xu Shaotang looked at Long Fei and asked, "Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

"No." Long Fei shook his head, looked at Xu Shaotang puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Xu Shaotang frowned tightly, and said in confusion: "Since we saw the snow line, it seems that we have never encountered any living things again?"

Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Long Fei and Pi Yongchun were slightly taken aback, then nodded slightly.

It should have been about two hours since they came out of the dense forest and saw the snow line. Although Xu Shaotang and Long Fei deliberately suppressed their speed, compared to ordinary people, their speed was still very fast. To say the least, they had walked tens of kilometers, and they really didn't see any creatures other than them along the way.

Long Fei thought for a while and asked, "Could it be because there are fewer creatures in places with higher altitudes?"

According to the normal theory, the higher the altitude, the worse the living conditions for creatures. They should have entered high-altitude areas by now, and it seems reasonable that there are fewer creatures.

Xu Shaotang shook his head and said, "Even if there are few creatures, it doesn't mean that there are no creatures. You know, we encountered a lot of wild beasts in the forest behind us."

There are not a few creatures that can survive in high-altitude areas. As far as Xu Shaotang knows, snow wolves, snow leopards and other beasts can survive in high-altitude areas. survived under the conditions.Moreover, they walked along the way, and the weeds on the road were not insignificant. Logically speaking, they should be very suitable for some herbivores to survive.

Just when the two were puzzled, Pi Yongchun said in a low voice: "Instructor, I've heard a legend, but I don't know if it's true."

"Do you want to talk about the legend of the gate of hell?" Xu Shaotang looked at Pi Yongchun and asked.

Pi Yongchun nodded, smiled embarrassedly at Xu Shaotang, and said, "So the instructor knows too, so just pretend I didn't say anything."

He thought that Xu Shaotang and Long Fei had never heard of the legend about the gate of hell, so he rashly brought it up, but since Xu Shaotang knew, there was no need for him to say anything more.

"You have to believe the legend of the gate of hell, and you can't believe it all." Xu Shaotang said slowly: "I don't know what's going on here, so we have to be careful, I always feel that something is wrong."

Because of Xu Shaotang's words, they all began to be vigilant in their hearts. Even so, the speed under their feet did not slow down.

After walking a certain distance, they were not far from the mountain. At this moment, a scorching smell suddenly hit them.

The three of them glanced at each other and quickly ran in the direction of the burning smell.

Soon, they came to a canyon area under the mountain, and at the same time found the source of the burnt smell.

What came into view was a large number of animal corpses, but none of these corpses were complete, some had only one head left, and some even had their heads exploded directly. Broken internal organs and charred blood could be seen everywhere. It looked unspeakably bloody.

Like these animals, this large piece of land has not been spared, it has all turned into a piece of scorched black, and in many places there is even a deep pit one or two meters deep. This piece of scorched land started from under their feet Spreading, has been disappearing at the end of their sight.

Xu Shaotang walked quickly to the dead animal on the ground, knelt down and inspected it carefully.

"Although these corpses have signs of burning, they still look relatively fresh. If I'm not mistaken, these animals were all killed in the thunderstorm two days ago." Xu Shaotang looked at the incomplete body of a snow wolf. The corpse said with a solemn expression: "It is impossible to imagine how terrifying that thunderstorm was to cause such a tragic scene..."

They could feel the power of the thunderstorm in the capital, but only when they actually arrived in the Kunlun Mountains did they realize how terrifying the power of the thunderstorm was.

He now seemed to understand why he couldn't see any animals along the way. It is estimated that many animals died here, and even those who did not die probably hid in the low-altitude dense forest due to the great fright.

Long Fei picked up the binoculars and looked at the place in front of him in the distance. The flat ground as far as he could see was so scorched black that he couldn't see the end at all.

Long Fei put down the telescope in his hand, and said slowly: "According to your analysis, the area where the thunderstorms are concentrated should be in this canyon. Shall we go in and have a look?"

Xu Shaotang stood up from the ground, looked at the scorched land in front of him from a distance, and said firmly, "Go, of course!"
