It continued upward until it reached an altitude of 5,000 meters. It was still very smooth. Although Shenzi Peak is high, it is not steep, at least so far.
But here, the air was already filled with ice cold. Ling Chen was walking as if a stone slab was pressing on his chest, making his breathing heavy. By 5,500 meters, the vegetation had completely disappeared, and there was a sprawling area under his feet.
To the endless white snow.
The temperature, from this altitude, dropped below freezing.
Further up, the wind is biting.
At this time, we have reached the mid-mountain position of Shenzi Peak, which means that in terms of height, we have reached half of Shenzi Peak. It took two days. But the real challenge starts from here.
There is thicker and thicker snow under his feet, and it makes a "bubble" sound when he steps on it. Although it is cold, it is not unacceptable. Ling Chen's body has not lost any life due to the cold. Compared with this
, what concerned him more was his increasingly heavy breathing.
The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, and the more difficult it is to breathe. In the game world, players will not suffocate to death, but this does not mean that the sudden drop in air pressure has no impact on the player.
The increasingly obvious heaviness in his chest and the occasional dizziness in his brain made Ling Chen frown. He also quickened his pace and continued upward without stopping.
When he reached an altitude of seven thousand meters, the air was already bitingly cold. Ling Chen had a fox fur coat prepared in advance, covering him almost from head to toe. Although it was cold, it did not hinder him.
Due to Ling Chen's actions, the mountain did not become steeper than it was difficult to climb due to the increase in altitude.
"Ah...ah..."
When normal people reach such a height, even if they can withstand the severe cold, their physical strength and spirit will be quickly devoured by the low air pressure and thin air. It is almost difficult to stay awake, and they may even fall into coma at any time. But, who is Ling Chen?
? His chest felt heavy and his breathing became heavy, but his eyes were still as clear and cold as ice crystals, without any trace of chaos. Xiao Hui was in front of him, guiding him on the most correct path, so that his path forward was still smooth.
Eight thousand meters... -
50,-50,-50……
The loss of life appeared on Ling Chen and Xiao Hui at the same time. The raging cold wind was like sharp knives, cutting Ling Chen's face and whole body.
There was still thick snow under his feet, but now the snow was falling, and there was a thicker layer of ice. During this distance, Ling Chen almost slipped twice due to his balance.
Xiao Hui's limbs were completely stuck in the snow, but he still ran briskly in front, leaving a long straight trail behind.
"We have reached two-thirds of the way to Shenzi Peak." Qi Yue said slowly: "There are many humans who can reach this height, and the difficulty for them to reach here is far greater than that of my little master."
Ling Chen nodded and said: "Indeed... when my physical strength is too much, or when I can't hold on anymore, I can log off, or I can use the Void Fantasy Stone to leave. When I come back, I'm still where I was. But the people who have forgotten the mainland are still there.
There is only one chance. Either go up or go back. Once you go back, you will fail. Even if you stop, you can't rest. The severe cold and low pressure here will quickly take away your physical strength."
The super shield guard that Xiao Fengchen said was able to climb 11,000 meters in one breath... was simply a monster!
Continuing forward for a while, when they reached an altitude of 8,500 meters, the rate of life loss had increased to 200 points per second, which was 4 times that at an altitude of 8,000 meters! Ling Chen had to continuously consume the highest-grade recovery medicine that could be purchased at present—
—The cyan potion restored life to himself and Xiao Hui, which was able to curb the rate of life loss.
The road ahead was getting harder and harder, and the feeling of tightness in his chest was getting stronger. Ling Chen glanced at the time, took out a scroll to return to the city and crushed it. Then, Ling Chen disappeared in a flash of white light.
Appeared in the town closest to the Langhuan Mountains.
He entered the drugstore to replenish a large amount of advanced recovery medicine, and then found a teahouse to drink a few cups of hot tea comfortably, and then took a nap for a while. After two hours, Ling Chen, who was full of energy and condition, stretched and took out
A hollow magic bead, hehe smiled: "Failed ancestors, be envious and jealous! I have a cheating device!"
Putting on the fox fur clothes, he crushed the Konghuan Pearl, and the next second, Ling Chen was surrounded by the icy cold air.
When the challengers of the Forgotten Continent arrived here, most of them had already been tortured for half their lives by the previous eight thousand meters altitude. Even super masters would inevitably lose a lot of physical strength. And Ling Chen's return after resting is equivalent to this being just his starting point.
, he shouted in a low voice, summoned Xiao Hui, and the broken shadow opened, stepping on the snow and ice, rushing forward like a strong wind, bringing flying snow all over the sky.
When the life loss reached 300 per second, Ling Chen had to use the [Blue Sky Scale] Xiao Fengchen gave him. Because of this loss rate, unless he used the precious [Morning Dew], there was no other potion on his body that could
Keep up with recovery.
"Ding... you used [Blue Dragon Scale]. Within the next three days, you will be completely immune to the loss of life caused by the cold climate."
Ling Chen reluctantly put Xiao Hui away. The effect of the green dragon scales only affected him, but not Xiao Hui. At this time, he had reached an altitude of 8,700 meters above sea level. He could only take the remaining road.
A person, alone, finishes the walk...if he can finish the walk.
Nine thousand meters...
At this point, ninety-nine percent of challengers will despair.
Here, no matter how thick the clothes are, they can't suppress the bone-chilling cold. The howling cold wind no longer only stimulates the surface of the human body, but begins to mercilessly erode the inside of the human body... The cold feeling no longer comes from the outside to the inside.
The feeling of his internal organs being painfully twisted due to the cruel cold severely impacted every nerve in his body.
Your mind will also become confused in the extremely thin air, and your vision will become blurry.
Being able to reach here is already an amazing achievement. If you still have a little strength, if you still have a little bit of clarity, leaving here by all means is the wisest and only choice. Otherwise, you will be exhausted physically and mentally.
After being completely devoured, the body will be buried here forever, with no possibility of leaving.
Obviously, Ling Chen is one of the one percent.
The loss of physical strength was restrained by the green dragon scales, and the biting coldness was something that Ling Chen could bear. Compared with the mental torture he had endured, this pain was not even a hair on the body of an ox. As for his spirit, it was even more indestructible.
Like a shaking rock, he always maintains absolute sobriety. At such a temperature, the limbs of ordinary people will be numb under the severe cold, and the body will almost no longer obey its own orders, making it difficult to move. In this regard, Ling Chen also has a different feature from ordinary people.
His physique. His steps are still steady, stepping to higher ground step by step.
Of course, the most important thing is the Konghuan Bead.
Ten thousand meters...
When we arrived here, it was the fourth day of Ling Chen's challenge to Shenzi Peak.
Five-sixths of the way up, with only the last two thousand meters left, victory seemed to be in sight.
But in fact, these last two kilometers will be a real road to purgatory.
Step by step from desperate situation, step by step to reach the sky!
