Master Qinghua and I nodded hurriedly. Although we don't have much experience in mountain climbing, we still know about this kind of thing. Avalanches are very scary. Once an avalanche occurs, it will be a disaster.
"Speed up, the distance to the camp today is much further than yesterday!" Tashi Duoji said hurriedly, breathing heavily.
The snow line was almost reached, and the surrounding air suddenly became thinner. If you wanted to breathe, you had to breathe heavily, and it was a bit difficult to speak.
After walking a few hundred meters, my body was already feeling seriously weak, so I stopped to take a breath.
The surrounding snowflakes fell down and blew onto my cheek, giving me a kind of needle-pricking pain.
Tashi Duoji immediately stopped and looked into the distance, "The wind is blowing. Everyone, take out the safety ropes and put them on everyone!"
I was stunned for a moment. Although there was some wind around me, it was not that strong. Is it necessary to use a safety rope? The two brothers Tsering and Tsering on the side quickly took out the rope and tied it around their waists.
Taoist Master Qinghua didn't dare to be negligent. After all, Tashi Duoji was our guide this time and had much more experience than us, so I didn't dare to hesitate too much.
After tying the rope around my body, the wind around me suddenly increased a lot. I staggered and almost fell to the ground. At this moment, the strong wind blew past my body, and I hurriedly pulled on the rope.
The sweat on my forehead fell down, which made me a little scared. It was too dangerous just now. If it weren't for the safety rope, I would have been blown down the mountain. Tashi Dorje's experience is indeed rich.
Taoist priest Qinghua glanced at me, pulled the rope, and walked forward quickly. The surrounding wind and snow suddenly became much stronger, and a sound like a ghost crying or a wolf howling was made above the head.
I raised my head and glanced at the sky. It was clear and clear when we set off, but now it was windy and snowy. This Mount Everest was indeed different from the past.
As I walked forward step by step, I felt more and more strenuous. But this was the way to go, and we had to speed up, otherwise we wouldn't reach the campground tonight.
Gritting our teeth and running wildly, when we saw the mountain col in the distance, Tashi Duoji made a gesture to us.
I hurriedly speeded up and walked into the mountain col. In this mountain col, the wind was indeed much lighter, and the surrounding snowflakes were not so intense. The five people leaned behind the rocks, all breathing heavily.
"Today's weather is bad, so it may be difficult for us to walk to the camp!" Tashi Duoji took a deep breath, "But if we camp here again, there will be an avalanche at night, and none of us will be able to escape!"
"What is the probability of an avalanche?" Taoist priest Qinghua asked hurriedly.
"It depends on the amount of snowfall tonight. If there is too much snowfall, an avalanche is likely to occur! Once there is an avalanche, the five of us will be really doomed!" Tashi Dorje said, with the corners of his mouth turning purple.
.
"Then go to the camp!" I said loudly.
The surrounding wind and snow immediately covered up my voice, as if it was ruthless contempt.
Tashi Duoji raised his head and said, "May God bless you. If we can reach the camp today, everything will be easy!"
"Rest for another five minutes and let's speed up!" I said.
Several people around nodded. If we can't get to the camp, we will all be in danger. The camp is the only safe place now.
Five minutes is not a long time, but it is not a short time. After resting, they struggled to stand up one by one. The power of nature was vividly displayed at this moment.
I took a deep breath and sped up the movements of my feet. Tashi Dorje was in the first place, Tseden was in the second place, Master Qinghua was in the third place, I was in the fourth place, and Tsering was in the last place. According to the rules
According to Tashi Dorje, this can ensure our safety to the greatest extent. After all, Tsering has more experience, so putting it at the end can ensure my safety.
After walking up a few hundred meters, my breathing gradually became faster. At this time, a snapping sound suddenly came from behind me. The sound was particularly crisp, like a thunder.
"What's the sound?" Tashi Duoji turned around sharply.
My scalp felt numb for a while. This was the sound of gunfire! How could there be gunfire here?
Taoist Priest Qinghua glanced at me and lowered his voice and said, "We don't need to worry about it, just hurry up and leave as soon as possible!"
Tashi Duoji said hurriedly: "If there is such a sound again, even if the snowfall is not heavy, it will cause an avalanche!"
My eyes flashed, but I still waved my hand, "We are in a hurry, we must reach the camp as soon as possible!"
"Yes, it's important to hurry up!" Taoist Master Qinghua also said quickly.
Bang bang bang... At this moment, countless gunshots suddenly rang out all around. The gunfire sounded so frequently that it made people's scalp numb.
"What's going on?" Tashi Duoji turned his head sharply.
My face became extremely ugly, my eyes fell in the distance, and I saw a figure rushing up from the bottom of the mountain like crazy, with blood still flowing from its body.
"Nevis?" My expression changed.
Priest Qinghua glanced at me and said, "Get down quickly, don't let her shoot again, otherwise it will cause an avalanche!"
Without saying a word, I turned around and rushed down the mountain. Because everyone's bodies were tied up with a safety rope, when I rushed down, everyone around me also followed.
When Nevis saw us running down, his face turned pale and he suddenly fell onto the snow.
I rushed over in a hurry, "What's going on? What happened?"
Nieves's face was pale, and the corner of his mouth was trembling. He pulled my arm and said, "Ghost... there is a ghost! There is a ghost on this mountain, run away quickly!"
"Let her see her injuries first!" Tashi Duoji said loudly.
I tore off the sleeve on her arm and saw a hideous and terrifying wound, about ten centimeters long. Blood flowed from the wound and fell on the snow, like plum blossoms.
"Pull into the col!" I said loudly.
At this time, Cidan had already grabbed Nieves' body and quickly pulled him into the col.
"Leave me alone! Go quickly! Go quickly!" Nieves shouted.
I hurriedly wrapped the wound with gauze, and then treated it urgently. If it was not treated, sooner or later the wound would get tetanus, and there would be no way to solve it.
The surrounding wind suddenly intensified a bit, and I dragged Nieves's body deep into the col. A few people took shelter under the surrounding rocks to avoid the wind and snow.
"Zhang Tianju, run away quickly! After you go back, go to Washington, USA, to find Victor, and tell him that everyone here is dead!" Nieves grabbed my arm, with horror in his eyes, "Everyone,
They all encountered ghosts..."
"What on earth is going on? Please tell me!" I asked loudly.
Nieves said with a horrified expression: "We found a frozen corpse in the valley. The corpse came to life, and everyone was bitten to death by the corpse..."
"What frozen corpse?" My face turned a little pale.
"We are not here to experience life at all, but to look for thousand-year-old corpses! Zach said that these ancient corpses have great scientific research value. As long as we find this ancient corpse, we can make a fortune..."
"Why did you come here to find us?" Priest Qinghua stared at Nivis with half-squinted eyes.
Nieves's face turned pale, "Because you are mages..."
I was stunned for a moment and saw that she took out a paper charm from the palm of her hand.
Priest Qinghua half-squinted his eyes, "Did you steal my paper charm last night?"
"I'm just interested in ancient Chinese culture and have no intention of stealing it! I shot just to attract your attention!" Nieves said apologetically.
Boom... At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
I turned around suddenly, my face turned pale for a while, "What's going on?"
Tashi Duoji's face became extremely ugly, and his body even trembled a little, "Snow... avalanche!"
"What?" My expression suddenly changed, "Why was there no avalanche just now? Why is there an avalanche now?"
"This is because the gunshots just shook the snow layer, but the snow layer still has a certain consistency. When the snowfall becomes heavy, avalanches will naturally occur!" Tashi Dorje said, standing up hurriedly.
He knelt down on the ground with a thud, "O Almighty God, your people have not done anything disrespectful to you. Please forgive your people! Your people swear here that this
I will serve you forever!"
"Stop arguing, get up and set up the tent quickly!" Taoist Master Qinghua said loudly.
"This is an avalanche, what's the point of setting up a tent?" Tashi Duoji asked loudly.
"This is a mountain col. We lean on the rocks behind us and prop up the tent against the rocks. Let the rocks resist most of the avalanche's force. The tents set up a survivable space. Maybe we can still be saved..." I said loudly
With.
The rumbling sound behind him became more and more intense, as if thousands of troops were galloping.
I took a deep breath, raised my head and looked at the rushing waves in the distance, filled with white mist.
"Hurry!" Taoist Master Qinghua shouted.
I hurriedly dug out the tent, and Tsering and Tsering also rushed up and set up the tent as quickly as possible. But at this time, the avalanche in the distance had also fallen, and the thin tent was
The slight trembling of the formation was completely covered by the white snow.
With a click... a metal branch broke in the corner of the tent.
