The terrain here is extremely dangerous. You are not afraid of falling to your death, but you are afraid of being hit in the head by the falling gravel. Coupled with the violent wind and snow, every step you take is like walking on a tightrope, and you feel unsure.
"We have to be extra careful," Si Weiqi reminded while clearing the way ahead.
I held Si Weiqi's hand in front and Chen Ziyue in the back, and the three of us trudged forward on the cliff. The snow was extremely slippery, and there was no time to change skates at this time. I gritted my teeth and stepped on the accumulated ice.
On the thicker snow, one step, two steps, three steps, every time I take a step, it feels like stepping on an egg.
At this time, a big stone appeared in front of him blocking the way. It was easy to climb up the stone, but there was a gap as high as a person under the stone. In fact, you only need to jump over it to pass, but at this time, you are very close to the top of the mountain.
time, but there was a bottomless ravine beneath her feet. Chen Ziyue's feet began to tremble involuntarily when she stood on it.
I turned around and saw that Chen Ziyue was a little scared and whispered: "Don't think so much, it's only about one meter wide. It'll be fine if you jump over."
"Lin Kun, I..."
Chen Ziyue gave me a tug, and I could only encourage her: "It's okay. As long as you exert your full strength, you can definitely jump over. You jump first, and I'll watch over you."
After saying that, Chen Ziyue gritted her teeth, stepped forward, twisted her waist, and wanted to jump up. But what she didn't expect was that when she tried hard, her feet suddenly sank. The surface of the stone she stepped on was actually weathered.
She pushed hard and it broke into pieces. Chen Ziyue slipped on it, and then her whole body fell into the crack between the stones.
Fortunately, the crack was not deep, and Chen Ziyue was a little frightened, so she was not seriously injured. However, I felt anxious in my heart and wanted to pull Chen Ziyue up. Instead, Chen Ziyue said calmly, "It's okay, I'll do it myself."
You can come up."
At this moment, a strange vibration suddenly came from above our heads. I looked up, and before I could react, I saw a white snow mist suddenly exploded into the air, almost blocking the entire field of vision.
.
"Holy shit, what's going on? Could it be an avalanche, right?!" I was dumbfounded.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is not a snow mountain. Where did the avalanche come from?" Si Weiqi said calmly, "This is the Xuan Bing Formation, one of the Five Ghost Killing Immortal Formations. I don't know what happened, but this formation was activated."
"It's not because of me, is it?" Chen Ziyue said stupidly from below.
Si Weiqi didn't have time to think too much, so she pushed me into the crack and jumped in. Then suddenly everything around me was dark, and a lot of snow air poured into this narrow gap. Then,
We seemed to be plunged into chaos, our throats began to tighten, an extreme feeling of suffocation came from our lungs, and countless cold things accumulated from all directions.
"Let me go, this Five Ghosts Killing Immortal Formation is really powerful. Sister Qi, you are about to break the formation. I am freezing to death!" I hugged Chen Ziyue. At this time, I wanted to give her the most warmth.
Unexpectedly, Si Weiqi said that the method of cracking this formation has been lost long ago, and she could not crack it. My mind suddenly became confused and I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, Si Weiqi next to me climbed up the rock and jumped out.
This crack, I thought she had something in mind
Then I felt the rope being lifted up, and I heard Si Weiqi shouting from above: "Come up quickly!"
I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly pulled the snow around, and then lifted Chen Ziyue up. When I climbed up, the snow and mist in the sky came crashing down on us. Si Weiqi pulled the rope hard and pushed it up.
We followed the snow flow and moved forward. However, the snow flow was too powerful and we couldn't stand up at all. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't move even half an inch. We had to crawl behind the rocks and wait for the snow flow to pass.
"Sister Qi, what are you doing? If I had known, it would be better to hide down there." I complained in a low voice.
"Snow mist comes and goes quickly. Hiding under it can relieve the temporary difficulties, but then there will be Fiery Formation, Gangfeng Formation, Tianlei Town, and Flying Stone Formation. If we hide there, we won't be able to reach us in half a minute.
You will die!" Si Weiqi explained.
My hair stood on end when I heard it. I didn't expect that the Five Ghosts Killing Immortal Formation was so powerful. The snow flow poured past us, leaving only a lot of broken snow. When the snow fog passed, I looked down again and saw that the whole thing was under my feet.
The valley was shrouded in white mist. I couldn't help but feel afraid that I was about to be swept down. How could I still be alive now?
"Ziyue, are you okay?" I gasped with lingering fear and asked Chen Ziyue with concern.
Chen Ziyue shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
Both Chen Ziyue's and mine earmuffs fell into the gap just now. I saw that Chen Ziyue's ears were red from the cold, but there was no other good way to relieve it, so I had to rub my hands to warm them and massage her earlobes to help the blood flow.
, at this time, Si Weiqi took off her earmuffs, gave them to Chen Ziyue, and said, "Put them on."
"Sister Qi, this..." I hesitated and didn't catch it.
"I'm fine, give it to her." Si Weiqi insisted.
After saying that, Si Weiqi continued to walk forward. Not long after, a huge piece of steep rock was exposed in front of us. From time to time, broken snow rolled down from the top. However, I am now worried that it is not due to the terrain.
The sinister threat is the Five Ghosts Killing Immortal Formation. Since it is the Immortal Killing Formation, it means that even gods cannot enter this place. You can imagine how powerful it is.
"Sister Qi, isn't this a formation?"
Chen Ziyue murmured: "Stop being so talkative."
However, before Chen Ziyue finished speaking, suddenly there was a strong wind on the steep rock. I thought this was the so-called "Gangfeng Formation", but then countless flying sand and rocks poured down from the top. Si Weiqi called me and Chen Ziyue
Facing the stone wall and clinging tightly to it, the sand and stones from above poured down like a waterfall. The place just next to the stone wall became a relatively safe gap, but even so, a large amount of sand and stones still hit us.
Si Weiqi checked the time, as if she saw the pattern. Whether this Gangfeng Formation or the Flying Stone Formation, just like the Xuanbing Formation in front, they come and go in a hurry. As long as they find a way to avoid it,
, it is not the kind of formation that must take people's lives. After looking at the original design of the formation, it may not be to prevent everyone from visiting this place, but to leave a way for those who are destined to live.
After climbing the steep rock, in front of me was the dragon's top of the backbone of heaven and earth, and the so-called Dragon Burial Pit was under this dragon's top. Seeing that victory was just ahead, I cheered up and rushed forward impatiently, thinking
All in one go, helpless
The snow there was extremely slippery, so I walked a little faster and even slipped a few times, causing my tailbone to crack. I had to be honest and walk up step by step.
After we continued to climb for two or three minutes, we suddenly saw a platform appearing above. At this time, there was no obstruction in the field of vision. Looking down at the earth and the sky, there was nothing but vastness. I immediately noticed a pit in the middle of the platform in front of me.
The entrance of the cave is irregular in shape, with a diameter of about ten meters, as if a mountain had been cut off. However, looking from the bottom up, the platform is too small and difficult to observe.
"Is this the Burial Dragon Pit?" I saw that the entrance of this shape was very different from the entrance of the common sinkhole.
"Look!" Chen Ziyue pointed to the cave with great joy, "We are finally here!"
I thought of the beast-killing platform that Si Weiqi mentioned, which may be referring to this platform. The ground was full of random rocks with different smiles. Not far from the entrance of the cave, there were some round stone piers. These stone piers were obviously
It was polished by people. When I looked closer, I saw some vague words on it, so I guessed: "Could this be a stone drum?"
Si Weiqi nodded, "That's right."
We stepped on the stones of different sizes scattered on the ground and came to the entrance of the cave. Looking down, we saw that the inside was chaotic and bottomless. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this entire mountain was so deep.
It's hollow, and it's not a sinkhole in karst landforms, it's more like a volcanic crater.
Suddenly, there was a "click" and a piece of gravel rolled down. The cave was very deep and shaped like a trumpet. It took a long time for the falling stone to spread out from underneath.
"Sister Qi, how are we going to get down there?" I was confused.
"Rape down." After Si Weiqi finished speaking, she put down her backpack, packed up the rope, and prepared to go down. "We don't have such a long rope ladder. Moreover, the Burial Dragon Pit is a trumpet-shaped cave. Putting down the rope ladder is like a well rope for fetching water."
, dangling around."
After saying that, Si Weiqi threw a cold firework inside to see the terrain clearly. Unexpectedly, the falling cold firework was soon submerged in the darkness, and no light could be seen.
"I'm going, so deep?!"
The use of rappelling technology to enter such vertical caves has become an internationally accepted technology and is widely used in rock climbing and rescue operations. Its main technical feature is that it requires continuous riveting holes on the rock wall, which is relatively safe.
But there is also vertical rappelling technology, but it requires very high professional and technical capabilities, and generally the higher the drop, the less suitable this technology is.
When everything was ready, we lowered the rope. Chen Ziyue and I were very excited when we finally found the Dragon Burial Pit, so the initial descent was very smooth. But slowly, I felt that they began to deviate from the route. The deviation of the route may not necessarily
It will bring direct danger, but it will directly affect the position of the rivet eye, and the total length of the indirect rope will increase accordingly.
If the Dragon Burial Pit reached the bottom of the mountain, it would require at least four to five hundred meters of rope. But this is absolutely impossible. The main rope of a general climbing rope is only one hundred meters at most, and it is longer than that.
Chapter completed!
