The vertical ice wall requires professional ice climbing equipment. Xia Yu put on sunglasses, tightened the wrist strap of the ice ax, and hit the ice hard.
The sharp ice pick pierced the ice surface, Xia Yu pulled hard, tested the hardness of the ice surface, and nodded with satisfaction.
He looked up at the ice wall that was tens of meters high, then took a dozen steps back, secretly channeling his inner strength, and rushed towards the ice wall like an arrow from a string. When he was still about five meters away from the ice wall, he
He jumped up with a cry, leaped more than ten feet high in the air, and flew through the air for several meters. Then he suddenly kicked off the ice wall with his right leg.
With a click, the sharp crampons broke through the ice, giving him enough recoil force. He lifted up more than three meters high. At this time, the ice wall had become almost straight.
, if Xia Yu stepped on the ice again, he would inevitably move away from the ice while going up. Therefore, when he jumped to the highest point, he waved the ice ax.
Click!
The sharp tip of the ice pick pierced the ice surface, hanging Xia Yu firmly on the ice wall.
Xia Yu used his hands and feet, and with the help of ice picks and crampons, he quickly climbed up the ice wall like a dexterous ape.
After reaching the top of the ice wall, there is a relatively flat ice field. Occasionally, some exposed rocks can be seen on the ice field. After passing through this ice field, there are steep glaciers. Xia Tian worked hand and foot, and finally arrived before the sun set.
to the top of this snowy peak.
After finding a shelter from the wind on the top of the mountain, Xia Yu took out the amulet and called out: "Brother Black Dragon, come out..."
After shouting three or four times, the black dragon suddenly appeared, "Why did you call me?"
"I've reached the top of the mountain, what next?"
Black Dragon twisted his body and pointed in one direction, "Go that way! It should be less than twenty kilometers away..."
"Huh?" Xia Yu was stunned. The direction down the mountain was clear. If he had known this, he would not have to climb the ice wall as hard as he did. He had several opportunities to bypass this snow peak.
"Oh my god...why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Black Dragon rolled his eyelids, "Let me tell you everything, what is your own brain doing? I thought you came here specially to get something."
Xia Yu's heart moved, "You mean, there are good things here? Where are they?"
The black dragon sighed as he hated the iron. "Actually, it's just a piece of crap, and it's only a treasure for people from remote areas like you."
It reluctantly pointed to a raised snow hill not far to the right, "Under there, dig out and take a look."
Xia Yu heard the words, picked up the ice pick, and dug up the snow hill with three strokes. He dug more than one meter deep and finally saw some gravel and gray soil.
"Stop digging and look for it with your hands!" Black Dragon reminded.
Xia Yu threw away the ice ax, turned on the headlight at the same time, and started searching carefully below.
After picking up some more gravel and soil, Xia Yu's eyes lit up and he carefully picked up a dark yellow thing that looked like a silkworm.
Cordyceps sinensis!
Cordyceps is a medicinal material formed after the Cordyceps fungus enters the larvae of bat moths. It is a precious herbal medicine. 0.5 grams of Cordyceps is considered to be the king of kings, but he must have this one in his hand.
Five grams.
Xia Yu had never seen such a big Cordyceps. He searched underneath again and found a total of twenty Cordyceps of about the same size. Each cordyceps weighed about five grams.
If this kind of thing were sold outside, it would definitely sell for a sky-high price.
"Brother Long, is this really Cordyceps? Why is it so big?"
"You are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world! How can you call him big? He is so small, but he can barely scare country bumpkins like you!" The black dragon stretched out his paw, made a downward gesture, and said contemptuously, "I
I thought you climbed up like a stupid boy.
I'm looking for this, but I didn't expect you to be such a stupid boy! I think back then, I wouldn't even look at this kind of thing. To be able to catch my eye, you have to have a hundred of them, and I'm really hungry.
, so I can make do with a few bites..."
Xia Yu rolled his eyes. This cheap dragon would spare no effort to despise him whenever he got the chance, or he would brag endlessly, but there was no substantive content. It was just how awesome he was, how well-informed he was, etc.
, Xia Yu has been tired of hearing it these past few days.
Xia Yu shook his head, carefully put away the large Cordyceps, then made a shelter, lit a fire, and meditated.
Black Dragon was not in a hurry to return the amulet this time. He walked around Xia Yu and kept looking at it. Occasionally, a nostalgic look flashed in his eyes, as if he was recalling something.
…
The next morning, Xia Yu slowly opened his eyes. He stretched and moved his limbs, and there was a crackling sound in the joints of his body. He took out the compressed biscuits, boiled some hot water, and had breakfast.
After that, continue to move in the direction the black dragon said.
After going down the mountain, the black dragon came out of the amulet again and looked around Xia Yu. Xia Yu remembered the words written on the treasure map and suddenly asked: "Brother Long, do you know what the Thirteen Guards are?"
Do you mean it?"
"have no idea!"
"You really don't know?"
"Of course I don't know!"
"Aren't you going to take me to find the source of life?"
"The source of life? Oh... you are talking about that thing... I don't know what it is!" The black dragon turned somersaults in the air, "I just feel that there is a place here where the spiritual energy of the world is quite abundant.
It can barely allow you to break through to the innate realm."
"Oh..." Xia Yu immersed himself in walking and stopped talking. Can he really reach the innate realm so quickly? In his heart, the credibility of this cheap dragon's words is really not high.
After walking among the cliffs and glaciers for nearly a whole morning, Xia Yu finally couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say twenty kilometers? It's already two twenty kilometers now, right?"
Black Dragon rolled his eyelids, "Don't you have any common sense? I'm talking about straight-line distance!"
"Grass!" Xia Yu cursed... Among the undulating snow-capped peaks, there are countless mountains to climb in a straight line distance of twenty kilometers.
The weather on the snowy peaks can change at any time. A moment ago it was a sunny day with the sun shining brightly. Suddenly a strong wind blew and snowflakes fell from the sky.
Dense snowflakes blocked the view, which is a very dangerous thing on the glacier, because there are many bottomless cracks on the glacier, and it would be troublesome if you accidentally fall.
"Weak chicken!" Black Dragon's voice rang again, "Go five hundred meters to the nine o'clock direction, and there is a cave!"
"How did you know?"
"Do you think I'm as weak as you?"
"..."
Following the guidance of the black dragon, Xia Yu entered the cave. The cave was not big, less than two meters wide and less than ten meters long. It was very dry inside. Looking at the cave, Xia Yu's eyes lit up...
