Chapter 549
Greyhound's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "No, it seems that they are walking around the snow line."

"You mean they plan to cross the mountain?" Long boldly said, "No way, this is a snow mountain."

"It's worse than this. It's not just a snow mountain. The upper part of this mountain is composed of more than a dozen large and small glaciers, and even professionals are not so easy to climb. They did it too hastily!" Greyhound looked serious. Water, he was a little impatient and blamed himself, he should have led Po Jun and others through this ancient pilgrimage path.

Fan Jiannan saw his uneasiness, and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, Po Jun is very intelligent, and Zhao Gongming is famous for his calmness. They are unlikely to make too risky moves, and, among their team, There are also two women. Even if we detour above the snow line, it shouldn’t be too risky. Let’s follow and see.”

Greyhound nodded. He checked the terrain and finally found something.The hillside not far ahead is a bit gentle, and there seem to be traces of trampling on it.Greyhounds are hunting experts and are best at judging all kinds of marks.He could tell at a glance that the scratches on the rocky cliffs on the hillside were caused by some people wearing hiking shoes and pedaling hard. It seemed that Po Jun and the others should have come up the mountain from here.

Long boldly whispered, "It's a pity that this is in the middle of the mountain, and the signal cannot be received. Otherwise, we can use the GPS satellite locator to find out their location."

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Even if the signal is received, they may not be able to find them. It's not that the mountain cannot receive satellite signals, but there is a lot of interference."

"Interference?" Long boldly asked suspiciously, "No way. I tried the satellite phone, but there is no signal at all, and if there is electromagnetic interference, it should be intermittent. This should not be the case."

"It's not electromagnetic interference, but another similar interference." Fan Jiannan sighed, "We all overlooked one point, this is an ancient pilgrimage trail. The relics left by the pilgrims. This mountain has accumulated the mana fluctuations left by too many pilgrims going around the mountain over the years, and this mana power fluctuation is extremely powerful but also extremely heterogeneous."

"You mean that here is the same as the Potala Palace, there is some kind of mana fluctuation accumulated over the years?" Jia Zixun frowned slightly, "I also had this feeling when I first entered the mountain, but that feeling was a bit strange. Same."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Yes, this place is completely different from what I felt in the Potala Palace. Because the lamas and eminent monks of the past generations chanted scriptures and practiced in the Potala Palace, the magic power I felt was vast but pure. But here is like a river intertwined with the power of countless generations, with a turbulent undercurrent. These unknown magic power fluctuations must have affected the normal reception of the signal."

"No matter what, we still need to find them." Greyhound turned to look at Fan Jiannan and said, "How do you feel now? If you don't feel good, you stay here, and I will go up and check alone."

Fan Jiannan waved his hands lightly and said, "Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while." He closed his eyes tiredly, but squeezed a finger in each hand.His thumb moved alternately across the knuckles until it settled in the middle of his index finger.

Greyhound knew that this was fortune-telling, and it was the first time he saw Fan Jiannan fortune-telling like this.Although he already knew the abilities of Fan Jiannan and others, he was still a little nervous seeing this situation.But Fan Jiannan let go of his fingers in less than a minute, and said with a slight smile, "No surprises or dangers, it seems that they went smoothly. They should have arrived at Manasarovar Lake by now."

Greyhound asked in surprise, "How did you make sure?"

"It's a bit troublesome to explain. Anyway, I can be sure that they are all right." Fan Jiannan smiled slightly. "Anyway, there is no road in front of the pilgrimage path, so we might as well follow their traces. Might be a good shortcut."

Greyhound frowned and said, "It's one thing to find them, but it's another thing to take you to such a dangerous place. From my guide's point of view, I don't recommend you to go above the snow line. Maybe we can find them from other places." Go to Lake Manasarovar because it's too risky."

Long boldly smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. You will know later, Fan Jiannan's hexagrams have never failed."

Only then did Greyhound reluctantly agree to give it a try, but he still hesitated and said, "Snow Line Mountain has no roads at all, and walking on the glacier is extremely dangerous. If you find it really too difficult to pass, listen to me and we will withdraw. , make another plan.”

Fan Jiannan nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, I've always been afraid of death."

Greyhound looked at them, and then climbed up the side of the cliff with difficulty without saying a word.He was very experienced, and after climbing for a while, he nailed the buttons on the cliff.Then use the climbing rope to fix the body and continue upward.Fortunately, the cliff is not very steep, but there is a rather gentle place.Fan Jiannan and the others climbed up the rope dropped by the Greyhound little by little.Take a break after climbing a section, and then continue.

Finally they came above the snow line, the temperature here was much lower than below, and the wind was extremely strong.The snow under the feet is in the form of crystals that haven't melted for a long time, and it doesn't feel soft at all when stepping on it, just like stepping on solid ice.Greyhound and the others were alright, but Fan Jiannan was weak due to his injuries, and he gasped for breath after climbing up.

Seeing that he was really dying, Greyhound waved them to hide behind a sheltered rock and take a rest.Long Boldly grabbed Fan Jiannan's wrist, tested his pulse, nodded and said, "It's not bad, your surgery injury has not been affected."

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "Is it okay? I feel like my head is going to explode. Where's your rhodiola? Take it out, and I'll eat some more. This altitude sickness is killing me."

"It's normal, just get used to it. These medicines can only alleviate the altitude sickness, but they can't cure it, so just bear with it." Long Bold said helplessly.

"Don't speak loudly. The snow on the mountain looks solid, but no one knows what's going on. Try to be careful so as not to cause an avalanche." Greyhound sat down, untied his big bag and took out his winter clothes put on. "Everyone put on warm clothes. The temperature here is very low. Those who just came up were sweating all over, and they might not feel too cold. After a while, when the sweat on your body cools down, you will know how severe it is."

Fan Jiannan and the others knew that Greyhound was an expert in this field, so they were right after hearing what he said, and quickly put on their warm clothes.

"Wear gloves and don't let your hands lose your senses from the cold. The most dangerous thing about climbing glaciers is that you can't hold the rope with your hands. And goggles, we estimate that we will have to walk for a long time in the glacier snow. Without protection If you use the eyepiece, you will be snow-blind." Greyhound instructed carefully, while helping them check their equipment.After confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the rock to rest for a while.

Only then did Fan Jiannan regain his strength and began to look around.The surrounding snow was white and dazzling.The snow that does not melt all the year round, under the sunlight, is white and crystal clear, with brilliant silver light, beautiful and magnificent.It is almost impossible to see the appearance of the mountain, because there is a layer of faint clouds below.He couldn't help sighing, and murmured, "Bold, do you know what is heartbreakingly beautiful? Just look at this scene and you'll understand. This is a fucking heartbreakingly beautiful feeling."

"Okay, don't be emotional. Your heart is still broken, and I am almost broken. I have to take care of you as a sick patient all day long. Since I studied medicine at the age of eight, I, Long Daudao, have never let anyone enjoy this kind of constant companionship. treatment." Long boldly said in a calm tone.

The Greyhound looked at the sky and said, "We're lucky. The weather today is finally good, otherwise the trouble will be even greater. When I came up just now, I found the traces they left in the crevices of the rocks. We should be breaking through Take a break, let’s continue. Oh, yes, try to eat as much as you can while resting. This is chocolate, and the physical exertion is too great, so we have to add a lot of calories.” After finishing speaking, he put the took out the food and distributed it to the people.

Fan Jiannan took a bite of the chocolate and said, "No wonder you were willing to hunt to solve the food problem a few days ago, and you didn't use our food reserves. You already expected that we would have this demand, right?"

"How can I have your skills? It's just that after staying in the mountains for a long time, there are always some things that need to be noticed. Well, try to eat as much as possible to have physical strength. We can only rest here for 15 minutes." Greyhound took I looked at the map and said, "The direction they are going is correct. We can follow the traces they left behind. But be careful, the mountains here are a bit gentle, and avalanches are most likely to occur. All actions must Take it easy and don't make too much movement."

Several people rested for a while, and under Greyhound's call, they all climbed up with difficulty.Greyhound was still leading the way, and Fan Jiannan and others followed behind him, braving the howling wind and continuing to walk forward.But after walking for an hour, the Greyhound stopped suddenly.He paced around suspiciously, whispering, "Weird. It's really weird."

"What's wrong?" Fan Jiannan asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

Greyhound was full of doubts and said, "We came all the way just now, following the footsteps of Po Jun and others. But now, there is a strange thing. Their footprints have disappeared in this area. I have looked around, No new footprints have been found either. It's just so weird."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Could it be that it has snowed recently, covering up their footprints?"

Greyhound shook his head, knelt down, touched the snow on the ground with his hands, and said with certainty, "There is absolutely no snowfall recently, because the snow on the ground has become granulated glacier ice. This kind of glacier ice only lasts for a long time. It takes time for the snow to form, and fresh snowfall will be a lot softer. So surely that's not the case?"

Long Boldly said nervously, "You mean, they disappeared out of thin air here?"

Greyhound said helplessly, "I can't tell, anyway, their footprints have completely disappeared here. Could it be that they encountered some unexpected situation?"
