After climbing up a steep slope, Zhuang Rui let out a long breath of white gas. He had arrived at the middle and upper sections of the snow-capped mountains, where the snow never melted all year round and the temperature was below zero.
It should be said that today is not a good day for mountain climbing, because the wind is relatively strong, and the strong wind blows up the snow on the mountain and spreads it on the road ahead, making it impossible to see clearly the mountain path under your feet.
He held up the oversized backpack, which was more than one meter high, with his hands, and looked up at the towering peaks. Zhuang Rui's face looked a bit disgusting.
Zhuang Rui originally wanted to bring a field tent and some supplies, but Qin Xuanbing didn't expect him to go hiking alone, so she stuffed all useful and useless gadgets into his bag.
But Qin Xuanbing didn't even think about it. The mountain was steep and the snow was slippery. It would be harmful to carry so many things. Zhuang Rui's center of gravity was unstable several times and he almost fell.
Compared to Zhuang Rui's embarrassment, the white lion is much more handsome. The thick flesh pads on its feet and the sharp claws allow the white lion to walk on the snowy mountains with ease. If it were not waiting for Zhuang Rui, it would probably
Now we have climbed to the top of the mountain.
However, since this year's cubs were just born, the Snow Mastiff stayed in Beijing and did not accompany them. This made the white lion's interest in returning to its hometown not so high.
"White Lion, take a rest..."
Zhuang Rui had been climbing for almost three or four hours. Although he was in excellent physical condition, his caloric consumption still needed to be replenished. He found a slightly flatter place and Zhuang Rui took out some food from his backpack.
After stuffing a piece of chocolate into his mouth, Zhuang Rui peeled off five or six ham sausages as thick as a baby's arm and threw them to the white lion. He was not afraid that the stuff would be frozen and hard. With the white lion's teeth,
It is estimated that even the steel bars can be chewed through, so that's no problem.
After putting the remaining plastic packaging back into his backpack, Zhuang Rui stood up and continued to climb up. Although he carried a lot of supplies this time, Zhuang Rui was still much faster than ordinary people.
.
"Huh? Blood stains?"
Arriving more than 400 meters away from the summit, Zhuang Rui discovered that in front of a gentle hillside, there were traces of blood spraying on the extremely hard frozen snow.
"It seems that this should be the place where the bearded people encountered the golden eagle..."
Zhuang Rui looked at the surrounding terrain and couldn't help but feel a little scared. If it weren't for the fact that there was a raised rock wall above the flat slope, which blocked the view below, the golden eagle might not have been able to escape so easily.
Climbing about two hundred meters higher, the snow-capped mountains have already taken on the shape of glaciers. Huge icicles rise from the ground. Under the sunlight, they reflect a brilliant brilliance. A small cough
Sound can cause huge echoes.
"Hey, I didn't expect there was someone in front of me. Could it be the accomplice of the poacher?"
After climbing a cliff with his bare hands, Zhuang Rui heard human voices. He did not expect that there were still people moving in this place that was considered a restricted area for humans. He couldn't help but be more careful and released the aura in his eyes.
"It turned out to be a mountaineering team..."
After releasing the spiritual energy, Zhuang Rui "saw" that more than forty meters away from him, a four-person mountaineering team was climbing up with difficulty. Apart from the necessary facilities for climbing, they did not have any facilities.
Carry any weapons.
The slope of the snowslope at this time was already above 60 degrees. It was impossible for people to walk upright on it. The four mountaineers wearing spiked shoes were really "climbing", and their entire bodies were almost crawling on the ice.
On the surface.
Although Zhuang Rui was carrying a huge backpack, he couldn't hold it against the "power" of his legs. Almost every time he stepped on it, he could drive the long spikes deeply into the ground, which was frozen and extremely solid.
In the ice, it seems that climbing one foot deeper and one foot shallower is very hard, but in fact the speed is very fast.
"Hey, buddy, how many of you are there? Do you want us to put down the rope?"
At this height, the air is extremely thin, and almost every meter up requires a lot of physical effort. If there is a reinforced rope to throw down, it will be much easier for those who climb behind.
When Zhuang Rui caught up to 20 meters behind the mountaineering team, the people in front finally discovered Zhuang Rui's presence, and their upward climbing slowed down.
Domestic mountaineering extreme sports are still in their infancy. These four people all come from the same mountaineering club. It is a pleasure to meet their peers at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.
"It's just me..."
Zhuang Rui responded loudly, but the wind on the mountain was blowing downwards. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was filled with wind and snow. It is estimated that the other party could not hear what he shouted.
"Just... just you?"
When Zhuang Rui climbed to the level with them, several mountaineers in their thirties couldn't help but stare at Zhuang Rui with their eyes wide open, as if they were looking at monsters.
One person even stretched his head to look below Zhuang Rui, wanting to see if there was anyone below who had not come up. Of course, except for the huge white lion, he could not see anyone of the same kind, which shocked several people.
Inexplicable.
You must know that the risk of extreme mountaineering sports in such a place is very high. Generally speaking, four or five people form a mountaineering team and cooperate with each other to reach the top of the mountain.
But there is another way to play, which is to pay someone to hire someone to pull and carry you to the top of the mountain to feel the feeling of being as tall as the mountain.
This is what the real estate tycoon who claims to have climbed Mount Everest several times does. It is reported that he spends millions of dollars on a single climb.
But for a person like Zhuang Rui who braved the Snowy Mountains alone, the mountaineering team in front of him has never been seen before. This is not an old man who has hanged himself... because he has a long life.
Of course, some extreme sports masters abroad have always been solitary, but... isn't this in China? I haven't heard of such outstanding people in China.
"Haha, I've climbed this mountain before, and it's not very difficult, so this time I went up alone... no, I went up with the white lion. This is my partner, it won't bite..."
Zhuang Rui also knew that his appearance was rather unexpected, so after seeing the expressions of a few people who had seen ghosts, he introduced the white lion to them with a smile.
"Hey, buddy, you are so awesome. You dare to brave the snowy mountains alone..."
"Brother, are you a Tibetan Mastiff? Why do you look like a lion..."
After hearing the voice from Zhuang Rui's mouth, these brothers finally confirmed that Zhuang Rui was not the legendary snow monster. They immediately surrounded Zhuang Rui and started asking questions. In their eyes, Zhuang Rui was full of energy all over his body.
With mystery.
Zhuang Rui smiled. Talking in the wind was not a pleasant thing. He pointed upward and said, "Let's go. There is a shelter from the wind. Let's talk after we go up..."
"Damn it, is this still a human being?"
Seeing Zhuang Rui rushing in front of them with the white lion without even taking the hiking poles, several members of the mountaineering team suddenly stared straight in the eyes. All the mountaineering knowledge they learned in the club was completely overturned.
.
By the time they arrived at the shelter Zhuang Rui mentioned, it was already twenty minutes later. When they looked at the silver American gas stove in front of them, the water that was almost boiling on it, and the large pieces of dried meat on the ground,
The brothers almost fell down the mountain.
Who are these people? A man is hiking alone, and he even brings pots and pans with him. Doesn’t he know that he should try to lighten his load as much as possible when climbing?
Just like the climbing rope 40 years ago, it weighed more than 20 kilograms, and the climbing rope with the same effect now only weighs 1.5 kilograms. This is all improved to reduce the load, but from Zhuang Rui's hidden backpack
From what I can tell, this guy is carrying at least forty or fifty kilograms of stuff.
Zhuang Rui threw the frozen and hard mutton into the pot and called out: "Come on, come on, what are you doing standing here? Sit down, sit down, drink some hot soup to warm yourself up..."
Several guys who seemed to be in a dream woke up after hearing Zhuang Rui's words. They quickly untied their backpacks and took off the hats that were covering their heads.
A thirty-year-old mountaineering member sitting directly opposite Zhuang Rui exclaimed after seeing Zhuang Rui's face: "You... you are Teacher Zhuang, right?"
"Do you know me?" Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be someone who knew him in this inaccessible snow mountain.
"Hey, Teacher Zhuang, you are already famous. I heard that the World Adventurers Association has sent you an invitation. You are my idol..."
This guy who spoke Northeastern dialect was waving his arms in a way that was even more fanatical than a groupie. After seeing that the mysterious man in front of them was Zhuang Rui, all the doubts in their hearts disappeared.
Zhuang Rui didn't know that he had become a legend in the domestic and even world exploration and scientific research circles.
The discovery of the Pirate Island, the discovery of undersea treasures that had been buried for thousands of years, and the emergence of the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan made Zhuang Rui famous. You must know that any of these things may be impossible for ordinary people to complete in a lifetime.
In the eyes of those domestic explorers who were beginning to take shape, Zhuang Rui was simply a mythical figure with piercing eyes, three heads and six arms, and these few in front of him were no exception.
The fact that Zhuang Rui was carrying so many supplies was ignored by a few excited guys. They gathered around Zhuang Rui asking questions and asking for photos, but they barely got him to sign the autograph.
Zhuang Rui was also crying and laughing. He didn't expect to meet fans hiding in the snowy mountains thousands of meters above sea level. It seems that he really wants to go to "Xuan Rui Island" to live in seclusion in the future.
Unable to stand the eager eyes next to him, Zhuang Rui ate much faster than before. After finishing two bowls of hot soup, an eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky.
"Xiao Jin?" Zhuang Rui looked up and saw the figure of the golden eagle flying out from the back of the mountain, close to the peak.
