[Seven hundred chapters!Thank you for your genuine support, so that Xiao Ke can write so many chapters, thank you! ! ! 】

Under the huge ice tower, gusts of wind howled.

Although Team Xiao and the others caught up with Jia Long, all of them were panting and couldn't stop taking long breaths.

Ordinary climbers, even the world's top climbers, will have difficulty breathing when they reach such heights, their blood will become sticky, and their mobility will be greatly hindered.

But Jia Long, who was standing with them, seemed to be in much better condition than these professionals.

Team Xiao was very surprised, and looked at Jia Long who really wanted to keep going.

That's right, judging from the little girl's personality these days, under her cute and innocent appearance, her essence is very strong.

She said that she would complete the six-hour test with all her strength.

But Jia Long wanted to continue, and everyone in the team who followed her crazy all the way began to feel powerless.

After all, climbing a mountain is not such a simple matter, and it is definitely not that someone in front opens the way, and the teammates behind will be as easy as taking an elevator.

Even if someone opens the way, the lack of oxygen at high altitudes, the risk of slipping and falling, and the excessive expenditure of physical fitness and water are still torturing and depriving everyone of their willpower and physical strength all the time.

Team Xiao and the others followed closely because they didn't want to embarrass the professional mountaineers too much, so they hurried for a while.At least the route chosen by Jia Long is very safe, and the route ropes are also well constructed, so they can perform at a super level without any worries.

Can you go further down?

Don't underestimate the 200 meters, it will be dark, and everyone will have to turn on the headlights to see things, which will greatly slow down everyone's walking speed, and it is more likely to cause a slip and fall that is not noticed for a while.

And further up, the altitude becomes higher, the oxygen content further decreases, and the temperature is colder.

In general, mountaineers don't like to choose to climb too much altitude in one day, because it will also have a huge risk of high reaction symptoms for them.

Looking at the situation at this time, we know that everyone who is already hungry and thirsty has been complaining of headaches, and everyone's toes are frozen and stiff.

"Jia Long, I see..."

Team Xiao was about to express his difficulties, and felt that he would definitely be able to handle it here today.

You must know that the ice tower is already at an altitude of 8000 meters. Even if you find a suitable place to set up camp today, and start climbing to the summit early tomorrow morning, there is still a great chance.

But when he raised his head and saw Jia Long who was standing higher than himself, he suddenly couldn't utter this thought.

Because the little girl's eyes are so longing.

And she really has this strength, why should she block it?Do we old climbers really have no potential at all?

Frowning and thinking about it, he suddenly felt that as long as Jia Long could help them open the route to the top, it would not be impossible for them to fight along the route.

Then they followed Jia Long, and they were able to rise more than [-] meters in a day near the summit of K[-], which is considered an unexpected feat in the entire mountaineering industry.

"Okay, let me tell you how Wa country lived in the past, and then you organize your equipment before climbing, and be careful."

"Well, but you'd better climb a little distance apart, because according to my opinion, the ice tower route is prone to avalanches or rock avalanches. If you go close, you may be affected by the rolling stones or rolling snow caused by your teammates."

"We still know the basics."

Jia Long listened to Team Xiao talk about where the Japanese team went, and listened to his suggestion, and then the girl raised her head wearing snow goggles with a slight frown, feeling a little tricky.

"I'm going that way, Team Xiao, you guys will follow later."

Jia Long pointed to an area as far away from the ice tower as possible.

There is one absolute rule when climbing a snow-capped mountain, that is, you must not approach the huge 'serac' like an iceberg.

The ice tower, as the name suggests, is composed of ice and snow, a huge ice mass like an ice tower.

Big ice tower.It may even reach a height of more than [-] meters, like an extremely tall ice and snow skyscraper.

Ice towers are very common in the peaks, but these ice towers are by no means as simple as looking spectacular and beautiful.

Because they are entirely composed of ice and snow, and the characteristics of ice and snow are fragile, and because the peaks are snowing and melting all year round, these spectacular and beautiful ice and snow often represent instability, death, and great risk .

In the history of mountaineering, among the many mass casualties that occurred, many of them were caused by avalanches on seracs, which caused many casualties.

"Let's go."

Jia Long took a breath, then walked straight to the edge of the ice tower with not too fast steps.

The teammates behind also followed one by one.

In the icy and snowy land, the cold wind from the high mountains kept blowing, and everyone had to shrink back to avoid the strong wind blowing them too cold.

Jia Long is no exception.

In fact, here, no matter how adaptable she is, it is impossible for her to fully adapt to this extreme environment.

The whole body began to shiver due to the drop in temperature, and the lower half of the long legs were so cold that they lost consciousness, especially the toes of the toes, which felt icy cold, as if they were not their own.

Even Jia Long's fair and tender face, which was praised by everyone in the past, also appeared relatively severely tanned at this time, but this tanning belongs to searching in the city, and it is easy to find people with a similar level of tanning.

But the group of teammates behind it is different.

They were all tanned like niggers, even their lips were blue and purple, and they were dehydrated and damaged by too much ultraviolet rays.

The setting sun in the sky began to sink gradually to the west, and the dusk sky could not bring too much heat to the top of the icy snow mountain, so the temperature began to drop rapidly at an unbelievable speed.

puff!
The ice pick pierces the fragile ice and snow layer.

On the chosen route, Jia Long did not choose the ice ax as the main climbing tool. Instead, he used two short ice picks, grasped one firmly with each hand, and pierced a small hole in one step with a short crutch. Forward.

The cold wind blowing all around made people shiver.

Such a violent wind speed is already considered by mountaineers to be an ideal wind speed of around [-] kilometers on high mountains.

For the high mountains, this kind of wind speed belongs to the calm weather of "clean and sunny".

creak!

Combined snow mountain boots with crampons, step on the soft ice and snow.

After stepping on the first foot, Jia Long couldn't help frowning.

Because the boots under the feet are too deep.

More importantly, she felt that the ice in the ice and snow was very fragile.

After the ice pick is pierced into it, it cannot bear too much force. If there is even a slight step and slip, and the ice pick cannot bear the force of the slip, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, the teammates behind used the method of knotting to climb.

In fact, it is not a very wise choice to tie the rope group in this terrain, but in order to ensure the life of the big guy, and also on behalf of the Xiao team, they chose to unconditionally trust Jia Long's vision in choosing the route, so they still used the rope group climbing method .

puff!
Jia Long continued to walk on the sloping snow slope section on the soft snow mass.

Because it is close to the huge ice tower, some of the snowdrifts on the ground are even large areas of snow that rolled here after the ice tower avalanche.

In fact, even though the team has been worried about the avalanche, the 'avalanche' has never stopped.

Yes, avalanches on high mountains have never been a rare event. After a while, one or two avalanches can always be heard. Although large-scale avalanches are not easy to happen, those small-scale ones can often injure a person. Even buried people.

There is no way to avoid this ice tower route, so everything depends on luck.

"There must be no problem with the route detected by the vigilance skill. I have to believe in myself! I have to believe in myself!"

The more the girl climbed, the more intense the tension in her heart became.

I always feel that the [-]-meter-high ice tower standing not far away will fall over here, or there will be a huge avalanche enough to drown their entire team.

But fortunately, the mid-level vigilance skills are still powerful.

At least Jia Long was breathing hard, and while setting up the rope, he climbed to about half the height of the ice tower, and nothing unexpected happened.

So worrying about your mood is just unfounded worrying.

wow...

However, when climbing to the middle route, that is, when the ice tower is about 100 meters high, there was an earth-shattering roar.

Jia Long turned her head to look, and while she was dumbfounded, a huge snow slope that seemed to collapse suddenly, slid down the snow slope at another position on the ice tower, causing an extremely shocking smoke and dust effect.

It was a small avalanche, and it was close at hand.

"Wow, that scared me to death."

The girl patted her chest in shock, and licked the corners of her chapped lips, swallowing the small amount of saliva in her throat.

It was totally freaking out.

"Ah, this avalanche is bigger than the last time it was photographed."

"Terrible, is this a high mountain? I won't go if I'm killed."

"It seems that the avalanche is quite far away, Meng Longlong doesn't need to worry, you are all fine."

"Of course she's fine, because that's the route she's carefully chosen."

In the barrage, the audience also uttered words that seemed to be very frightened.

Although it was a bit scary, the sound effect of this avalanche is still very good.

At least the drone once again "coincidentally" captured the entire process of the avalanche's initial generation and ending, making people feel that this picture is too precious.

Maybe it will be collected and studied by many netizens and even related research units.

"The teammates below were also terrified, but now we are already climbing on the half slope at the edge of the ice tower. If we are still at the bottom, maybe the Xiao team will choose to retreat."

Jia Long is very clear that in mountaineering activities, "cautious" or even "cowardly" is the biggest weapon mountaineers rely on for survival and self-protection.

You're not careful enough, and in a sport where casualties can happen all the time, death is bound to come your way.

"They stopped for a while and started to climb again. Fortunately, they did not make a decision to retreat."
