After about half an hour, Qin Dongyuan was already at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.
His ascending speed also slowed down at this time. Almost every time he climbed up a certain distance, he would throw out the rope in his hand and fall to the cliff to rest for a while.
"Damn, how come there are such high mountains?"
Qin Feng, who was standing below with his neck raised, couldn't help but cursed bitterly. Further up was the hypoxic area. At that time, Qin Dongyuan had to switch from external breathing to internal breathing, and the consumption of his true energy would
further increase.
Finally, Qin Dongyuan's figure disappeared into the haze, and Qin Feng below could no longer be seen, and could only wait anxiously.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
A day passed in the blink of an eye, but there was no movement from above. Even when Qin Feng shouted, Qin Dongyuan didn't respond at all.
This made Qin Feng feel a little uneasy. In the past few months, he and Qin Dongyuan had been getting along day and night, and they were both teachers and friends. He really didn't want to see anything happen to Qin Dongyuan.
"Huh? Coming down? It's Elder Dongyuan..."
When Qin Feng waited until the evening of the next day, twenty-seven or eight hours had passed, a figure appeared from a distance of four thousand meters and quickly slid downwards.
Although it is very strenuous to climb up, you can use your strength on the rock wall when descending. Qin Dongyuan's movements were very fast. In just over ten minutes, he had already dropped to forty or fifty meters from the ground.
place.
"Huh? Something's wrong!" Just when Qin Dongyuan was about to land, Qin Feng found that his body was very stiff and he fell directly from a height of more than ten meters.
"Elder Dongyuan, are you okay?"
Qin Feng quickly jumped up and held Qin Dongyuan's body in his arms. As soon as the two of them came into contact, Qin Feng couldn't help but shudder. Only then did he realize that Qin Dongyuan's entire body had been frozen to the bone.
.
It's just that they haven't seen him for a day. Qin Dongyuan, who originally had a rosy complexion, turned pale, his eyes were slightly closed, and the breath coming out of his mouth was cold and very weak.
"Damn, what...what's going on?" After falling to the ground, Qin Feng quickly opened the gourd containing monkey wine and poured a large mouthful into Qin Dongyuan's mouth.
"Mom...Mom..." After taking a sip of wine, Qin Dongyuan's eyes became clearer and his lips moved a few times before spitting out a few words.
"What the hell?" Qin Feng let Qin Dongyuan's body sit on the ground, put a palm on his back, and continuously sent his pure essence over.
"Damn it. I'm freezing to death!"
Qin Dongyuan's opening of his mouth almost caused Qin Feng's performance to go wrong. It was rare for him to see the always elegant elder Dongyuan open his mouth to curse.
"What's going on? What happened above?" Qin Feng stopped and came to Qin Dongyuan. Qin Dongyuan was so frozen that he almost lost track of his personnel. Then the temperature above wouldn't reach absolute zero, right?
"Wait for me to recover first!" Qin Dongyuan shook his head and stretched out his unfrozen right arm. He brought the wine gourd to his mouth and drank several big sips.
After a few sips of wine, Qin Dongyuan sat up in cross-legged position to meditate. A cloud of steam came out of his head. His body, which was stiff from the cold, slowly softened, and his pale face became rosy.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng was relieved. Qin Dongyuan had only exhausted his true energy. He had not suffered any trauma. It was only a matter of time to recover.
While Qin Dongyuan was meditating, Qin Feng was not idle either. He went out to the grassland, risked being chased by a group of lions, and snatched an injured wildebeest from the jaws of a lion.
Fortunately, the animals living in the grasslands have classified the area under the rock as a restricted area. The forty or fifty lions chasing Qin Feng came to the edge of the restricted area, but they just kept roaring and stopped moving forward.
Although there are streams in this area, Qin Feng knew that the water in the poisonous miasma area must be poisonous. So he directly skinned the wildebeest and started grilling it.
"smell good!"
When the wildebeest meat was cooked, Qin Dongyuan, who was sitting in meditation, twitched his nose and jumped up from the ground. He didn't care about the oily meat dripping down and ate it directly.
stand up.
“The taste is good and the craftsmanship is also good.”
In just a few minutes, Qin Dongyuan devoured the hind leg of a wildebeest weighing dozens of kilograms, leaving only a big bone. After wiping his mouth, Qin Dongyuan took the wine gourd and took a big sip.
"Elder Dongyuan, how are you?" After Qin Dongyuan put down the wine gourd, Qin Feng asked: "What happened up there, and why were you frozen like that?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Qin Dongyuan raised his head and glanced with a look of fear on his face. He shook his head and said, "I really want to climb this mountain, but I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it."
Seeing Qin Dongyuan's hesitation, Qin Feng was a little anxious and said: "Elder Dongyuan, how high have you reached? What exactly did you find inside?"
"I passed through that miasma area..."
As soon as Qin Dongyuan spoke, Qin Feng's eyes lit up. You must know that what he and Qin Dongyuan were most afraid of before was the poisonous miasma area, because resisting these poisonous miasmas would increase the consumption of real energy.
"The poisonous miasma area is about two to three thousand meters high..." Qin Dongyuan took another sip of wine and began to talk about what he encountered on the cliff.
It was relatively smooth at first. When Qin Dongyuan rose to an altitude of four or five thousand meters, he didn't feel particularly tired, so he just took a short rest before entering the poisonous miasma, and then rushed in with all his strength.
With the experience of previous adventures, Qin Dongyuan used his true energy very reasonably. It only took him two or three hours, with three or four rests in between, to break through the poisonous miasma area.
This is a lot better than when Qin Dongyuan first came here. You know, that time Qin Dongyuan couldn't hold on in the poisonous miasma area and finally retreated.
But what Qin Dongyuan didn't expect was that breaking through the thick clouds of the poisonous miasma was just the starting point for climbing the mountain. Above the gray gas below him, he saw a rock wall that reached straight to the sky.
.
Qin Dongyuan was already exhausted at that time. He had barely risen more than ten meters. He needed to use a rope to fix his body and meditate for an hour or two to rest. As a result, his speed slowed down.
It wouldn't matter if the speed was just slow, but when Qin Dongyuan climbed to nearly 10,000 meters, there was no air above, and the entire space was filled with biting cold current.
Qin Dongyuan spent almost all his true energy on resisting the all-pervasive cold current. Originally he could climb more than ten meters in an hour or two, but now he was climbing up almost step by step.
At the end, Qin Dongyuan relied entirely on his own willpower to climb upwards. He didn't know how high he had climbed, but when he looked up, he couldn't even see the top of the mountain. It was already too high.
climb.
It wasn't until Qin Dongyuan realized that if he climbed any higher, even if his true energy was not exhausted, he would be frozen to death by the cold current, that he came up with the idea of retreating.
It can make a Huajin warrior have the thought of death, which shows how bad the environment in that place is. Qin Dongyuan used up the last bit of true energy in his body, and then returned to the ground.
"Damn it, is this place connected to an alien planet?"
After listening to Qin Dongyuan's story, Qin Feng couldn't help but curse. He finally saw a glimmer of hope, but this hope seemed to be out of reach again.
"What is the alien planet?" Qin Dongyuan asked puzzledly.
"They are the stars in the sky..." Qin Feng said, pointing to the sky in the distance. It was not shrouded in fog and the bright stars in the night sky could be clearly seen.
"Where are the stars above? What you see when you look up are these rock walls."
Qin Dongyuan smiled bitterly. He originally thought that he had advanced to the peak of Huajin and had hope of climbing over this place. Unexpectedly, although it was higher than the first climb, he was still disappointed.
"Elder Dongyuan, if the two of us go up together, will we go to a higher place above?" Qin Feng thought for a while and asked without giving up.
"it should be OK."
Qin Dongyuan nodded, but then he grimaced and said: "Even if you climb another thousand meters or more, you may not be able to reach the top of the mountain. This mountain peak really seems to reach the outside of the sky.
…”
At that place nearly 10,000 meters high, Qin Dongyuan felt the insignificance of human power in front of nature for the first time, and even felt a sense of despair in his heart, which he had never experienced in his life.
"Elder Dongyuan, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will go up and have a look..." Qin Feng gritted his teeth. As the saying goes, if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back. His current mood is that even if he hits the south wall, he has no intention of looking back.
"Okay, if you really want to go up, I'll accompany you!"
Qin Dongyuan also wanted to challenge his limits again. After thinking about it, he said: "Let's prepare something first. Maybe we can climb higher..."
"What are you preparing?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. This is not a place where humans gather. Is there anything else besides the alpine grassland?
"Clothes, let's wear thicker ones so that we can keep out the cold."
Qin Dongyuan pointed to the grassland outside and said: "You and I will go out and kill a few lions, use their furs to make clothes and wear them, and then go up..."
With the cultivation level of Qin Feng and Qin Dongyuan, they have already been able to protect themselves from the cold and heat, so when they entered the Three Realms Mountain this time, all they brought in their backpacks were some changes of single clothes, and they did not consider keeping out the cold at all.
After thinking about the replacement, Qin Dongyuan added: "As well as these wines, we also need to bring a gourd each. In that environment, the real energy is consumed very quickly, so we can use these wines to compensate..."
"Okay, leave all the hunting and skinning of lions to me!"
Qin Feng nodded, with a look of perseverance in his eyes. Ordinary people in the outside world could conquer a human restricted area of more than 8,000 meters, but he did not believe that he could not climb this mountain.
