Chapter 223: Skinning Forest
Finding people under the Holy Snow Mountains is not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack. When the majestic and continuous Holy Snow Mountains stood in front of us, everyone felt their insignificance and did not know how deep it was.
The wind is very strong here and the snow is also very heavy. The rolling snowflakes make the visibility extremely low. At a glance, you can't see thirty meters away. Under the wind and snow, everyone was wrapped in scarves, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Alise was still freezing cold despite wearing thick clothes, so she hid behind Bing Zhixie to block the wind.
It is very cold here, and it is even colder because of the strong wind. The hot breath exhaled from the mouth immediately freezes into ice and turns into snow.
Carter glanced at Alice and said: "This place is inaccessible to most people. Even those with slightly lower abilities will be frozen. Alice, why don't we build an igloo here and come back when we find it?" You?”
"No!" Alice immediately refused: "You can go, and so can I. The cold is nothing, haven't I been frozen to death?"
Carter glanced at the ice Zhixie, seeing that he had no intention of leaving Alice behind. The group continued their search in the wind and snow.
"They said it was a cave in the Holy Snow Mountain Range. The Holy Snow Mountain Range is so big, there must be many caves. When we find it, maybe they will all go back." Ishuson said.
Bertha said: "But there are many nomadic teams in the Danluer tribe, and we don't know where they will return. It's better to come and find them. Didn't they say that we have to find Bushiu?" It will take a month or two to know the location. If we can’t find it after a month or two, we will go back.”
"And there are also captains and others, they will help inquire." Carter said: "The most difficult thing right now is the food problem. Although there are some monsters here, we don't recognize most of them, and we don't know if they can be eaten."< br>
Since the Holy Snow Mountain Range is a mountain range, there are many mountains, some of which are not steep. Bing Zhixie searched among these mountains with them.
After climbing along the mountain for a long time, I didn’t even see a bird, let alone a cave. Looking at the large snow slope in front of me, I looked up again and saw the tower-like mountain with ice, rock and snow walls, almost 90 degrees vertical. Looking for someone like this is completely out of the blue and not a solution at all, but they have no clues and no direction at the moment, so they have no choice but to search like this.
Unknowingly, after searching for another two hours, Ishuson lay on the snow and gasped: "No, I'm too... too tired. Take a rest. I... I'm not suitable for this kind of walking." Road. "
This kind of road is really not suitable for her. Although her four feet are covered with wide warm deerskin muffs, they still get stuck every time she steps on them. It is completely snowy to climb the mountain, let alone Carrying a lot of luggage.
Bing Zhixie looked at the sky and calculated the time: "Let's rest here for a while and eat."
A few people were about to build an ice wall and make a fire to make food. Ixusen took two steps in the deep snow and suddenly said: "Hey, what is this?"
"What is this?"
"Under my feet." Huson pointed at the snow and said: "There is something hard."
Carter smiled and said: "It's ice, maybe a rock."
Ishuson shook his head: "It's not like that. I haven't been down to earth since I went to the Holy Snow Mountain Range."
Alice put down the ice beard in her arms, pointed under the snow, and let it dig.
Bingbeard and Alice stayed for a long time and listened to their words. They immediately waved their two shovel-like feet and dug a medium-sized snow tunnel with a whirring sound. While digging, Bingbeard made a sound like a woodchuck, and it seemed that he had found something.
Everyone came forward to take a look, and there was indeed something under the one meter deep hole, which looked waxy yellow.
When I peeled back the snow, I saw it was a human ankle, and it was skinned.
Several people quickly dug through the snow and dug out the body.
This corpse is a female. The breasts and secret parts prove this, but...it's just that the skin has been peeled off even there, the whole body has been peeled off, leaving only a piece of flesh. corpse. Ixusen looked at Han Han and shuddered and said, "It was probably the old woman that the injured person said this morning did it. Why did she do such a thing?"
"Who knows, maybe he's a big pervert." Carter said.
Bertha squatted beside the dug snow pit and said: "There are still things here, come and help."
Soon he dug out another set of clothes from the snow, and it turned out to be the animal skin clothes of the Danluer Tu tribe.
Bing Zhixie’s face changed color.
Alice said after a long time: "It can't be...it can't be Chief Wenke and his party, right?"
"dig again."
Everyone, Including Ice Beard digging it up again. However, after digging a large pit with a radius of more than ten square meters, no other bodies were seen.
Ishuson said: "The old man in the village said that Chief Wen'erke brought a group of people to look for Bushi. They probably weren't the ones who were killed. Maybe he was just a lone tribesman who was targeted by the skinned old woman."
Bing Zhixie ran to a higher point on the snowy slope and looked around. The snow slope they were walking on had already gone around the backs of hills. In the depressions between the mountains, there was a small cedar forest. Bing Zhixie came back and said: "There is a forest over there. Let's go there and have a look."
Everyone raised their heads and walked cautiously among the cedar forests, with frowns on their faces. Wei Wei was frightened. In this forest, there were many skinned corpses and empty skin bags hanging on the trees, which looked very horrifying. Taking a closer look, there are more than a dozen of them, both men and women, all in their prime.
The snow in the forest is not heavy, and from time to time you can see a pool of red marks on the snow below the corpse, which are all ice particles condensed from blood. In addition, there are also many weapons and clothing scattered, all of which are used by the Danluer Tu people.
Bing Zhixie frowned deeply: "Have a look and see if there is the body of Patriarch Wen'erke."
Alice looked at the corpses one by one and was afraid. She was not timid, but she couldn't see the fearful faces of the dead. Although these corpses have no skin, it can be seen from the distorted expressions on their faces that their skin was peeled off while they were still alive.
Bing Zhixie was also looking at these skins. The skins were completely peeled off, and even the hair was stuck on them. Each one only had a 20 to 30 centimeter long opening on the back of the neck. It felt as if the flesh and bones were squeezed out of the skin bag after opening the opening, but I don't know what method was used.
They have never seen Wenke himself or his portrait, but the patriarch who could follow King Sauron twenty years ago was still an old man over forty or fifty years old. Moreover, the clothes of the clan leader must be different from those of ordinary clan members. You can still tell them apart.
A small breeze blew gently, shaking the corpses hanging from the branches. The ropes used to hang the corpses became very brittle in such a cold temperature. In such a sway, two corpses fell down, landing right in front of Alice, pressing on her, scaring Alice so much that she almost lost her consciousness. All popped up.
A few people shook their heads, and no one thought about Chief Wenke.
"It's okay." Bing Zhixie nodded. Chief Wen'erke was the only person who could lead him to find Long Ling. If he died, Long Ling wouldn't know where to find him. However, he was still a little worried, so he added: "Let's search around this forest and see clearly before we talk."
Everyone started to search again.
Alice was so frightened by what happened just now that she no longer dared to get too close to the corpses. She walked around them looking at the corpses, for fear that they would fall again and scare her.
Sure enough, several more bodies were found under the ice and snow, but they were all young men and women. Bing Zhixie searched carefully, clenching his fists in his hands. He was also very nervous. He just hoped that he would never find the body of Patriarch Wen'erke.
The wind was very loud, but it was outside. The forest in the depression between the two mountains was very quiet. Even Bertha and the others, who were walking more than ten meters away, were making noise from the snow they stepped on. The creaking sound can also be heard clearly. So, at this moment, they suddenly heard a rustling sound, like something pulling the branches and leaves of the cedar tree...
