Chapter 3866 The Final Goal
The mountains are steep and full of ravines. Walking in such a place is a great physical challenge.
Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue walked together, and the wolf king was walking at the front. The physical strength and endurance of animals cannot be compared with humans.
After walking a certain distance, the Wolf King quickly jumped up and down on the rocks, landing on a high or low place to explore the situation and eliminate danger in advance.
Those beasts that saw Xue Yaoyue and Xiao Yi and planned to come to hunt them all chose to avoid them after seeing the Wolf King's strong body. Even the leopards living here were afraid of the Wolf King.
After four hours of trekking, a large amount of ice appeared in the ravine where Xiao Yi was walking, and they had reached the glacier area.
The surrounding rocks are covered with thick ice. Even under the sun's rays, the ice remains unmelted. Further down, the melted ice water from the glacier flows along the ground and gathers into a a river.
"What a beautiful scenery. This is the first time I have seen such a blue sky."
Xue Yaoyue looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky. The sky was blue, like a natural sapphire, which gave people a dreamy feeling.
"It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Let's find a place to rest and have something to eat. There is still a long way to go."
Xiao Yi put down his backpack and took out the tableware he carried. Due to the air pressure, cooking with water would not be enough.
For the convenience of Xiao Yi, he brought some military rations, high-energy chocolate and compressed biscuits. They did not taste very good, but in the current situation, he could only make do with it.
The wolf king ran wildly between the glaciers. Xiao Yi saw it chasing a brown fox. It was huge but its movement speed was not slow at all. It quickly caught the fox in its mouth.
Instead of eating alone, he came to Xiao Yi's side, put down the fox's body, and signaled that he would share it with Xiao Yi.
"I brought food with me. This fox looks quite big, but it's not enough for you to eat."
Xiao Yike didn't have the habit of eating raw meat. When he was training in the military area, he would catch voles, snakes and other animals as a last resort to replenish his physical fitness.
The Wolf King retreated a few times with his paw and put it on Xiao Yi's shoulder, giving the impression that he was speaking to a good friend, telling Xiao Yi not to be polite.
"This wolf king is really interesting. It would be great if we could bring him to the city and live together."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but normal people will feel scared when they see it. It's better to let it return to nature."
It's not like Xiao Yi has never thought that it would be better to let wild wolves follow the laws of survival of nature than to let them enter the human world.
After sitting here to rest for half an hour and eat something to replenish their physical energy, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue set off again, climbing towards the depths.
The location marked on the map requires climbing over three mountains to reach it. The three mountains don't sound difficult, but the geographical environment here makes it not that easy to cross.
The solid ice under their feet slowly turned into covered snow. The further they walked, the thicker the snow became. Even Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue, after special training, started walking on the premise that they were still practitioners. It's still very difficult.
The Wolf King's limbs were sunk deeply into the snow, and the hair on his body was constantly steaming, melting the snow above. Finally, the melted snow turned into water and flowed down his belly, condensing into a scurrying ice cone.
It made a swishing sound when walking. Even though it became more and more difficult to move, the wolf king still followed Xiao Yi and refused to leave. Xiao Yi couldn't drive it away several times, so he had to let it follow him.
Time passed little by little, and the two of them moved slowly on the map, like a slow snail, and finally arrived at the mountainside of a snow-capped mountain at 7:40 in the evening.
Xiao Yi held a mountaineering pick and drove a steel drill into the gap in the rock with one hand. Finally, he tied the safety lock rope and said with relief.
"The location shown on the map is on the mountainside of this mountain. It's almost close. I don't know who marked the location here."
Xiao Yi was a little confused as to what kind of secrets might be hidden in a place like this. The final truth was getting closer and closer.
"The air pressure is getting lower and lower, and the weather may change in a short period of time. Find a place to take shelter first."
Xue Yaoyue noticed that the weather was abnormal. It was too calm. Often, this calm weather was brewing with huge energy, and the weather would change drastically in a short period of time.
"I saw an open space up there, and the snow didn't seem that deep. I wanted to see if I could find shelter from the wind."
Xiao Yi held the safety rope in his hand and climbed up quickly. Ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the clearing.
This kind of physical exertion, coupled with the fact that it would take an excellent mountaineering team several days to walk such a long distance, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue set a record.
There is a huge open space, the size of a basketball court. As we go to the top of the mountain, the snow becomes thinner and thinner. This place provides a good resting platform.
"Sure enough, this mountaineering is not something ordinary people can do. If I had known this, I should have found a helicopter to send us here directly."
"You have a good idea. The violent airflow here and the influence of unknown factors make it difficult for even a helicopter to reach here."
Xue Yaoyue said, there is another more important point, that is, if the helicopter crashes due to a malfunction, the chances of survival for the people inside are very slim.
So this time hiking is the best choice, which consumes physical strength but is safe. Xiao Yi just said casually that the fewer people who know about his action this time, the better.
"Where are we now?"
Xiao Yi asked, Xue Yaoyue opened the satellite map, and the location shown on it has overlapped with the one marked on the map.
"It seems that the place you chose is very good, we have arrived."
"Are you there?"
Looking around, there is nothing here except frozen rocks and covered snow. There is nothing to pay attention to.
At this moment, Xiao Yi had a question in his mind, was the map marked wrong, or did they find the wrong place? Xiao Yi searched around for a while, but found nothing.
"What's going on? Is the map wrong? Why does this place look so ordinary?"
"I have checked the map dozens of times, there is absolutely no mistake. Maybe the person who marked the map just made a mark casually."
Xue Yaoyue guessed that this result disappointed Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi was unwilling to accept it. If he left like this, it would prove that all his previous efforts were in vain.
