Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 84
084 Chapter 84 Snowstorm

When we got up, it had started to snow outside, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. The little brother was not afraid of the cold. Fatty and the man named Ye Cheng seemed to be okay. Wu Xie and the others were from the south and rarely could adapt to such weather. , everyone was frozen stiff.

But in the end, they are all better than me. Ever since I woke up from rebirth, Xuefeng and the others have been controlling the indoor temperature between 21 and 28 degrees this year. Xuefeng always said that I am like a flower in a greenhouse. It cannot be heated when it is cold. no.

Now that it's snowing and the temperature has dropped sharply, I feel like my brain is not working well because of the cold. I am stumbling in a daze and doing things slowly.

The little brother whispered into my ear: "Girl, look at this situation, the situation will be even worse in the future. Use your spiritual power and don't hold on yourself." I nodded my head, and suddenly I shook my head: "Then What should I do if my eyes change color?”

As he said this, the little brother took out a goggles from his bag and put them on my face without saying a word. I had the impression that these were the type of goggles used for skiing. I used to make skiing shapes for others when I was doing crafts. I checked some information.The little brother put on my goggles and buckled my hat. He looked at me carefully and said, "That's it. Let's go." He led me out.

To be honest, a warm hat, a mask to protect my face and neck, and now these glasses that can cover most of my face. The only thing that is exposed on my face is my nose. I don’t think I can even recognize myself when I look in the mirror. Now, I never wear things like glasses or hats, because I always find it uncomfortable to block my sight and I am not used to it. If I put any of these on my head, I will freeze, as if I am sealed. Now I actually got a set together. I must have been completely sealed, but I’m here to protect me, so I’ll just wear it like this.

Before going out, Bai Hao waved his hand, made the five attribute spirit elements of the five spirit elements into decorations, and combined them with the small fox tail pendant. The white little fox tail and the five-color beads looked particularly beautiful together.He said that in this way, the spiritual energy of Foxtail and the spiritual power of Lingyuan can regulate each other, making them more powerful.In such an icy and snowy environment, if you use your own spiritual power to strengthen the fire attribute alone, it will not be a problem to withstand the cold of the snowy mountains.As soon as the spiritual power was turned on, I felt that I was not so cold after a while.

Further up, past the snow line, you can already see snow here.The snow gets thicker as you go up, there are fewer and fewer trees, and there are more and more rocks.

By noon, there was a vast expanse of white snow all around us. The snow on the ground was so thick that there was no way to go. We relied on Shunzi to lead the horse in front to clear the way.At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew. Shunzi looked at the clouds in the sky and asked us if we should come here today. It seemed that there might be strong winds today. We just wanted to enjoy the snow-capped mountains for a while. Going up further would be dangerous.

Chen Pi Ah Si waved his hand and asked him to wait. We stopped to rest and eat some solid food.A few of them observed their surroundings.

The little brother kept looking at the snow-capped mountains in front of him.His brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was worried about something. It seemed that he remembered something, so I had to watch him quietly.

They vaguely heard that in ancient times, tombs were built using local materials. This forest was obviously more mature than the ones next to it. Although it was difficult to walk along the way, there were no particularly difficult obstacles, so they were sure that there had been huge obstacles here in ancient times. Project, the mountains in this area have been repaired. Now the general direction is correct, we still have to go up.There are more than a dozen peaks in this mountain range, and the place where the earth veins stops is the Dragon Cave. Although there are many mountains here, there is only one earth vein. As long as you follow the earth vein, you are not afraid of not finding it. It is only a matter of time.

Anyway, I just listened to the literal meaning. Wu Xie looked at it for a long time and felt that everything was the same. He also looked at the little brother who was looking at the mountain and would definitely ignore him, so he turned around to chat with the fat man.

Shunzi heard that we were still going up, and said that we could only use horse-drawn snow sledges to go further up.In the winter in Changbai Mountain, except for snowstorms, horse-drawn snow sledges can usually be used to climb to any place that horses can reach. But once the wind blows, we have to listen to him in everything. He will come back as soon as he says, and there must be no objections. .

After they agreed, they began to unload the luggage from the horse and put it on the sledge. When everything was ready, Shunzi yelled and whipped his whip to lead the way. Our horses automatically followed behind, and the group of people galloped in the snow.

This thing is still very fast. As we walked, the wind got stronger and stronger, and it was a mountainous road. The horse started to run unsteadily. I was a little scared, but with my little brother protecting me, he could stay steady no matter how bumpy it was. Protect me.But because the fat man was too heavy, he rolled over and fell into the snow several times, so we had to stop and wait for him.

The weather got worse and worse after that. The sky was gray and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. I quietly lifted my hat to cover my ears and listened. Suddenly, there was a whistling wind in my ears, and it was cold.

Our horses also moved slower and slower.They all also wore goggles, and the snow was falling all over the sky. It was unclear whether it fell from the sky or was blown from the snow-capped mountains.I saw that each of them was so cold that they could not speak. When they tried to open their mouths to speak, the cold wind rushed straight into them. Wu Xie accidentally choked on the wind, making himself cough.

After running for a while on the snow sledge, Shunzi's horse stopped in front. I saw that the weather was getting worse and worse. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon and it was already gray. It seemed that it would be dangerous if I continued running. So this Shunzi started to feel uneasy.They surrounded me against the wind. The wind was really strong at this time. If my brother wasn't around, I might have been a kite in the snow. Of course, it seems a bit exaggerated now, but it was definitely blown away. The little brother hugged me and walked to them.

Shunzi said to us: "The wind is too strong. It seems that there has been an avalanche here. The landform is different and I don't recognize it. Also, you can see that the snow in front is all from the mountains above. It is too deep and too loose. You can reach it with just one step." The horse's belly is full and the horse refuses to go over. There are air bubbles under this kind of snow and it is easy to slide and collapse. It is very dangerous. You should not walk in a group when walking."

There is also bad news. He said that looking at the current situation, the wind will not stop for two days and two nights, and staying here will definitely lead to death.He also said that the good news was that there was an abandoned border guard post ahead. Once there, you could get shelter from the wind and snow, but you just had to walk there.

The fat man held down his felt hat and took a tentative step. As a result, he was covered in the snow all the way up to his thighs. He took a step forward with difficulty and cursed: "His grandma's, there are I'll bear the pain." When I saw it, my heart skipped a beat. It was so hard for them to walk away. What I said... I didn't even dare to think about it.

We put on our snowshoes, this was a wind outlet, and we headed forward against the wind. It seemed that the avalanche was caused by the extremely strong wind here.

They all pulled the sledge by themselves and marched hard in the snow. The fat man saw that the younger brother had to be responsible for pulling the sledge and also taking me, so he volunteered to take the sledge to him and said, "Leave the sledge to me. You have enough strength to pull it off, but if you can't do it by yourself, just concentrate on taking care of the girl."

I said to him: "Brother Fatty, thank you."

The fat man said with a smile: "It's okay to walk, please slow down."

I nodded with a smile and said yes.Follow me and say to the little brother: "Thank you for your hard work, little brother."

The little brother tilted his head and said, "Let's go." He pulled me forward slowly, and he tried his best to let me walk behind him. Firstly, this would somewhat block the wind for me, and secondly, because of the snow they walked in front of them. It has been crushed quite a bit, so I won’t have to go through it so hard.

We walked towards the wind outlet. Shunzi said that the sentry post could be reached in an hour. However, when we reached around six o'clock in the evening, we still didn't see the shadow of the sentry post he mentioned. Shunzi stopped and we gathered around to see his expression. It was extremely ugly. When he thought about it again, he suddenly let out a sigh and said, "It's over. I know where the sentry post is! Why didn't I expect that the sentry post must have been buried in the snow after the avalanche? It's right under our feet. No wonder we turned around." I haven't been able to find it for a long time!" Pan Zi sighed and cursed, and the fat man shouted and asked Shunzi: "What should we do now? The horses are gone, is it possible that we are going to die here?"

Shunzi said another hope is that there is a hot spring with high temperature in a mountain bag.If we can get there, we can live for several days with our food. The hot springs are higher than here and should not be buried in the snow.Otherwise, all that is left is to go back step by step.

The fat man didn't trust him now and asked, "Are you sure?"

Shunzi nodded: "This time, I will definitely not make a mistake. If I can't find it, you will deduct my wages."

I really have the urge to take my little brother and fly there directly with my spiritual power. I don’t think it’s a problem.

They were all crying now, and they continued to walk up with Shunzi. The sky got darker and darker as we went, the visibility was too low to see, and the wind was shouting and we couldn't hear it. We pulled up the rope and tied everyone to ourselves, and gathered together with the rope. Together.

Wu Xie's eyes started to blur as he walked and he couldn't see clearly.The people in front were walking further and further away, and the people behind were trailing further and further away. As he walked, he suddenly saw a dark figure appearing in the snow and fog in front of him. He was confused and couldn't see who it was.After walking a few steps, the black shadow suddenly tilted and fell into the snow.Wu Xie quickly ran over and saw that it was Shunzi who fell in the snow.

The little brother pulled me to catch up, and when I saw Shunzi, I quickly helped him up.Wu Xie carried him on his back, and the younger brother tightened the rope to let others gather first.

When the fat man saw Shunzi, he made a very strange expression and yelled: "What the hell kind of guide is this? He doesn't know the road, so he fainted before we did. What should we do?" The fat man seemed to have said something else, but it was too windy to hear clearly.

Now a large number of snowflakes were blown to the rocks by the wind, and then came back from the rocks and were circling around us. It could be said that we couldn't see anything from a meter away. I looked at the ground and the footprints we left when we came were almost instantly covered by the wind. It's gone, and it's impossible to tell the direction, and the current strong wind is almost blowing Wu Xie and the others away. The only one who won't be blown away is the little brother.

Their faces were all pale, and Chen Pi seemed to have entered a semi-conscious state.

Pan Zi suggested that everyone stretch the rope and spread out to look for it. When they found it, they would pull the rope as a signal.

I tried to sense it. Just when I felt that I was in a certain direction and was about to tell my brother, I suddenly heard what seemed to be a fat man shouting. The wind was too strong and I couldn’t hear what he was shouting. When we looked back, we saw his shadow. The flash disappeared. The boy immediately turned his head and found that the rope on the ground was suddenly pulled. His face changed and he yelled, "No! Untie the rope, someone collapsed into the snow pit!"

Before I finished speaking, before I had time to untie myself, the snow beneath my brother and I suddenly collapsed. He subconsciously hugged me first, and together we were pulled into the snow by the rope, and then the one closest to us Wu Xie.

Like a bunch of grapes, we were pulled into the snow one by one by the fat man, rolling around for who knows how long before we stopped.I just feel so dizzy.The little brother asked me: "Are you okay?" I lowered my head and waved gently in his arms.

Then we heard Pan Zi telling us not to move. He was the last one on the tail and he wanted to climb down first.

At this time, I suddenly heard Ye Cheng shouting: "Wait a minute! Damn it! Don't go down there. What's that thing in the snow?"

Wu Xie calmed down and looked down subconsciously. We were now leaning on a steep rocky slope, five or six meters away from the bottom of the slope. The rope around his waist was hung on a rock corner, so everyone Instead of rolling down directly, the bottom of the slope was covered with snow and stones that had just slid down with us. Several black and slender claws were exposed in the snowdrifts.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked below. Because I had always turned on my spiritual power, I immediately saw something looming in the snowdrift below, coiled around a black thing as thick as a bucket. Its link-shaped body was covered with scales, and some were hidden in the snow. Some of them were exposed in the snow, and I whispered: "Snake? Centipede? What is this?" Most of this thing was covered by the snow, so I didn't know whether it was alive or something else.

Pan Zi insisted on going down, but Ye Cheng kept yelling. The fat man also saw what was down there. He made a ball of snow next to him and hit Ye Cheng on the back of the head. He cursed softly: "Take it easy for me." You want to wake it up?!"

Wu Xie looked at his surroundings. This was a small closed valley filled with avalanches. However, because the stones here were too messy, a large number of air bubbles were produced. The fat man walked up to it and broke the fragile snow layer, causing A chain reaction occurred, and the snow layer suddenly collapsed.As a result, we all brought him down.The snow above is still collapsing. Many times after such a landslide, the surrounding snow will gather together like quicksand and rebury the collapsed area. This process is extremely fast.

Wu Xie whispered: "Fortunately, the snow on the side is still strong this time. Maybe it's because we were tied together by ropes and pulled down one by one. The surrounding snow was rolled flat for us, so it didn't collapse in one piece. .”

I feel that the wind here is obviously much lighter, and it is not as cold as before.I saw Wu Xie sit up carefully above him, moved down a few steps, and started to climb down.

Pan Zi had already untied the rope, and the little brother asked me to get ready. He was about to untie the rope, because it was not far from the bottom. The little brother asked me to hold on to him. When he untied the rope, he quickly hugged me again. The three of us With a crash, I jumped down with the snow. After landing, my brother protected me and rolled to cushion the force. Pan Zi and we both rolled to the bottom of the slope.

The little brother pulled me, and I imitated them and tiptoed up. The little brother pulled me behind me and made a gesture to keep me where I was. The two of them touched the black thing one after the other.

After walking a few steps, both the younger brother and Pan Zi straightened up and relaxed obviously. Pan Zi looked at the younger brother, shrugged his shoulders, and gestured for them to come down. I also jogged two steps and returned to the younger brother. around.
