Chapter 657 Mountaineering
"Hey, brother!"
Jiang You shouted twice, which eventually turned into a sigh.
The other person can't survive.
A big hole was completely opened in his abdomen, and he was poured down a pot of water. After the Qi and blood were activated, the smell of blood penetrated into Jiang You's nose.
Obviously besides this hole, there were other wounds on the other party's body.
The man most likely knew that he would not survive, so he simply sealed up his physical strength and consciousness, trying to maintain a "low power" state.
How long can he live? If he can bump into someone else in the process, he can wake up as soon as possible and finish what he has to say.
But brother... I don't know what happened at all.
Jiang You sighed again.
He gently closed the other person's eyes, and then followed the man's instructions and groped the other person's body.
Soon, I pulled out a small kettle of the same style.
Ruby liquid is a liquid that activates qi and blood?
Jiang You received it in his arms.
Then came three heavy rice balls.
The moment he took it in his hand, he couldn't help but salivate, and thoughts of longing came through his body.
Jiang You knew that he was in a very bad state. He had walked such a long way since he was sober. The ruby jade liquid could replenish some energy. Those ordinary pancakes were almost as good as not being eaten at all.
He wolfed down a rice ball. Sure enough, this was no ordinary food.
Pure power grew in his body. He clenched his fists and finally felt that this body had a slightly "supernatural" feeling.
What's left are two special talismans, which look very much like things used by Taoist priests to deceive. I don't know how effective they are.
Finally, the men’s identity tag.
Carved in yellow wood, the words on the back are blurry.
[Dawn Army...fourth team, captain...]
Two characters are engraved on the front: Zhao Ming
Very common name.
"Brother, I can't bury you in this situation. Please don't blame me."
"I'll keep moving forward. If I can meet someone else, I'll see if I can tell you about the situation here."
"Thank you for these supplies."
Jiang You murmured, cupped his hands, and closed his eyes for the man.
There were so many questions in his mind in this barren mountain with heavy snow.
He thought carefully about the last poem recited by the man and kept guessing about his identity.
"Dawn Army..."
Could it be that only by finding other people in the army with their identity tag can they officially enter the "main mission" and accept the inheritance?
Jiang You felt a slight headache.
This so-called secret treasure inheritance is really confusing.
He packed up his belongings, took a deep breath, and moved forward to continue exploring.
The direction pointed by the pointer has never changed, and I don't know what is over there.
There was heavy snow in the sky. If he huddled in one place to conserve his strength, he could barely increase his survival time, but it was useless.
Hopefully it can point out a way out.
…
"I'm so stupid, really."
"I knew there was a pointer that could point the way, but I didn't know what direction it was pointing to."
"I met a buddy on the road, so I thought I had found a way out."
Jiang You sighed again and again...
In front of him, the mountain wall hundreds of feet high was like a sharp blade.
Cut open the sky.
Heavy snow falls, creating a mirror-like surface.
This almost vertical angle makes people's scalp numb just by looking at it.
Yes, the direction pointed by the pointer is this endless snow-capped mountain.
To be precise, when approaching the snow-capped mountains, the pointer rose at an upward angle, which seemed to tell Jiang You: Climb up and you will know what is going on.
I think you are trying to embarrass someone like me, Jiang.
Jiang You groaned in his heart and had been wandering at the foot of the mountain for more than ten minutes.
Some traces of grooves that were not completely buried can be seen on the mountain wall.
At the foot of the mountain, he also picked up several mountaineering pickaxes... and corpses.
Most of the corpses were badly mangled and covered in ice and snow, making excavation extremely difficult.
They were all dead and unable to provide him with any useful information.
Jiang You sighed repeatedly.
His body became colder and colder, and he had to take another sip of ruby liquid.
He roughly counted.
A total of seven or eight corpses were seen.
They probably slipped and fell while climbing.
Why are they so determined to climb up?
Jiang You frowned and circled around the foot of the mountain.
Most of these corpses fell to pieces, and the props on them exploded all over the floor.
If you're lucky, you might be able to pick up a mouthful or two of ruby liquid.
About half an hour passed.
The amount of red jade liquid reached five mouthfuls, and the number of rice balls increased to four.
Besides, there is nothing else of greater value.
After drinking another mouthful of red jade liquid and feeling the blood boiling in his body, Jiang You raised his head and looked at the mountain peak again.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The mountain in front of him was huge. He could either climb it like the others or turn around and go back.
Do you even need to ask?
There were more than a dozen corpses, and everyone was climbing up.
Maybe there's really something important up there.
If you really fall to your death, then so be it.
Start climbing!
Holding a mountaineering pickaxe in each hand, Jiang You took a deep breath.
Phew!
The sharp pickaxe pierced the mountain wall, and his arms used force to lift him up.
On his feet, he wore long boots with spikes on the heads, which were easy to fix.
The sound of squeaking squeaking kept sounding. Although this body was far inferior to that of an extraordinary person, under the warmth of a few mouthfuls of rice balls and ruby liquid, it was much stronger than ordinary people.
Every time the pickaxe goes down, the pickaxe head is deeply embedded and stable.
However, as his arms exerted force, Jiang You realized that the difficulty was far beyond his imagination.
He wandered around the foot of the mountain for a long time, then chose a less steep spot and started climbing.
Under the heavy snow cover, the ruby liquid faded very quickly.
Once dissipated, the limbs will become stiff and difficult to bend and extend almost immediately.
He was breathing heavily, exhaling a long line of white mist in front of him every time his chest rose and fell.
My arms were sore and swollen, and the cold wind was blowing straight from my neck into my collar.
He inhaled repeatedly, his cheeks flushed red by the cold wind.
After reaching a certain limit, the loss of physical strength increases exponentially, and the mental pressure also increases dramatically.
Jiang You cried out in his heart.
Phew!
The pickaxe pierced the ice, and he shook his aching arms and looked down.
Unconsciously climbed to a height of nearly 100 meters?
Oh no, it may have been more than 100 meters.
Jiang You was slightly in a trance.
Am I so good at climbing?
He looked upward again.
The peak looks unchanged, and the end is still invisible.
"The worst case scenario is that you'll fall to death."
Jiang You gritted his teeth, took out the rice ball, swallowed it, drank the red jade liquid to stimulate his energy and blood, and continued to move up.
If you zoom out, you will find a figure holding a pickaxe on the mountain, climbing the mountain again and again!
The boring movements were repeated thousands of times, and the scenery along the way slowly changed.
Finally, when the ruby liquid bottomed out, Jiang You encountered a raised platform.
He rolled over and froze.
There is also a corpse on this narrow platform.
Different from the man named Zhao Ming.
The body was covered in black spots, looking like it had been contaminated by some kind of pollution.
The other person curled up and turned his back to Jiang You.
