Chapter 328 A new stage, the wind is rising
On the other side, Qi Xuefei and Li Wenxi were both in Xu Xin's tree house at this time.
Qi Xuefei just came here because this is the tree house closest to the giant peak and can see the giant peak at a glance. The two of them are also here to observe the situation and changes.
It's snowy outside now, and there's no place to explore at all. There are people guarding their tree house, so there's no need to be there in person. They can rush back if necessary.
"I didn't expect that you and Xu Xin... you guys are developing so fast." Qi Xuefei sighed. I am already twenty-six or seven years old, but I feel a little melancholy to be lagging behind a twenty-year-old girl.
"Half of the responsibility lies with you, Sister Xuefei!" Li Wenxi was lying by the window and staring blankly at the giant stone pillar peak. She didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard Qi Xuefei say this, she immediately turned around and said, "But I’m so excited!”
Qi Xuefei sat on the sofa, touching Coco in her arms who was no longer wary of her, and said with a smile: "Don't you think about it yourself? I just pushed it slightly to add fuel to the flames."
"It's so gentle. You have given me so much determination." Li Wenxi took out a bottle of small pills and shook them in front of her eyes. She didn't know what she thought of and her face turned red. "If it weren't for this bottle of pills, I would have You will definitely not do such a thing!”
"Is this the reason why you ran to someone else's tree house to give you nothing for free?" Qi Xuefei glanced at her helplessly, "I didn't expect you to act so resolutely and at the speed of light for nothing."
"Hate it, what are you giving for free!" Li Wenxi spat with a red face, "I just feel... Oops! I just want to do it, what's wrong!"
As he said this, both women laughed.
"Have you taken this medicine?" Qi Xuefei pointed to the small medicine bottle in her hand.
"Not yet..." Li Wenxi took out a pill and looked at it in front of her eyes, looking a little hesitant, "I chose the safest day, should it be fine? It's not that taking this medicine will have serious side effects. Is that..."
"Don't worry, the medicine I make is only good for the body." Qi Xuefei was very confident in this regard and said calmly, "Not only can you get pregnant, but it can also improve your physical fitness."
"...Okay, I believe you, Sister Xue Fei!" Li Wenxi gritted her teeth, put the pill in her mouth, swallowed it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she glared at Xuefeng fiercely: "You stinky man, you ran away the next day and left me alone to think about this kind of thing, huh!"
"Hasn't he thought about it?"
"You asked me a question last night." Li Wenxi glanced at Xuefeng again, then walked back to the sofa, sat next to Qi Xuefei, and touched Coco's little head, "I told him that now is a safe period, and there are Sister Xue Fei gave me the medicine and he felt relieved after seeing it. Hehe, he looked so anxious that even without the medicine, I couldn't help it."
"Huh...?" Coco lay on her back with her belly exposed, tilting her head to look at the two women, wondering what they were talking about.
Qi Xuefei suddenly came over and asked in a low voice with some curiosity: "Is that kind of thing very comfortable?"
"It hurt so much at first, but then... I hate it, Sister Xuefei, what are you asking for?" Li Wenxi blushed and pushed Qi Xuefei gently.
Qi Xuefei looked a little melancholy: "It's not like I didn't..."
At this time, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.
"What's wrong?!" Li Wenxi immediately stood up from the sofa and ran to the window. Because the direction from which the sound came was the direction of the giant stone pillar peak.
The snow peak is only a thousand meters away from the tree house, and Xu Xin's position is only more than 300 meters above the snow peak. The sound of the exploding crossbow bolt can still be transmitted to some extent.
"Using explosive crossbow bolts?!" Li Wenxi exclaimed, "Who used them? If explosive crossbow bolts are used in snowy mountains, won't they cause avalanches!?"
"There should be no problem." Qi Xuefei also walked to Li Wenxi's side and looked towards the giant peak of stone pillars. "There are not many places where snow can accumulate on this giant peak. There shouldn't be much snow on it."
"Oh... that's good, that's good." Li Wenxi observed for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, the mountains in the distance did not change much.
But don’t let anything go wrong...
……
On the other side, Ji Chaoyang had climbed to a similar position as Xu Xin and was sitting in a cave, waiting for the end of the small avalanche.
Ever since he arrived in this area with caves, he has actually been thinking of hiding in the caves and creating avalanches to let the snow fall down. This will make subsequent climbs easier for him.
But he was a little worried that it would affect Xu Xin who was climbing with him, so he never took action.
Unexpectedly, the snow actually fell by itself.
He didn't know if the avalanche was caused by Xu Xin, because he and Xu Xin seemed to have entered a special space that did not affect each other. Although they shared a snowy peak, they were completely insensible to each other.
Therefore, even though he was on this mountain peak, he did not hear the sound of the exploding crossbow bolts. He just felt the snow-capped mountains shake, and then the avalanche came down.
He thought this was a test on the way to climb the snow-capped mountains.
When the avalanche ends, he will continue climbing.
"It's a pity that I didn't keep the guy I just met."
……
On the other side, after the avalanche ended, Xu Xin ate a few pieces of fruit, replenished her body, and began to climb faster.
After all, he had just spent a lot of time in that cave. Although he had plenty of time, Xu Xin still felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Who knows what might be encountered up there.
A mutated bald eagle escaped just now and survived. Maybe it will come over and attack, so be careful.
The appearance of those bald eagles seemed to be silent. When he was attacked just now, his hearing was only amplified by the sound of breaking through the air nearby.
Fortunately, there are many sunken rock pits in this area and there are many footholds, so there is no need to worry too much.
All the rocks in this area are exuding a cold breath. Fortunately, as long as you don't enter the cave in the mountain, the outside temperature is still higher than minus 50 degrees, which is a bit icy.
Keep climbing.
The situation he expected for the escaped bald eagle to attack him did not appear.
The potholes around him were slowly decreasing, and he could feel that the temperature of the rock wall he was holding on to with his hands was slowly rising as he climbed upwards. Gradually, he could no longer It feels cold.
The temperature of the rock has risen to over fifty degrees below zero, and the surrounding temperature is no longer close to the limit that the snow fox scarf can withstand.
As time went by, the rising sun in the sky slowly rose, and its bright eyes shone on Xu Xin's body, making him even feel a touch of warmth.
The surrounding fog began to become thinner and seemed to be dissipating soon.
Not long after, Xu Xin grabbed the edge of a pit, used both arms to easily roll into it, and sat down.
He looked below.
Well, this should be five or six hundred meters, right?
This stretch of road is so smooth.
Because the explosive crossbow bolt he just fired triggered an avalanche, most of the snow had already slid down, leaving only a few remnants. It was much easier to climb than before.
He looked up again.
He was very close to the clouds.
This layer of thick-looking clouds must be the clouds that have caused snowfall in the past two nights.
The bottom of the cloud layer is only eight or nine hundred meters away from the ground, which is very close. He only needs to climb another three hundred meters and he will enter the clouds.
And above the clouds is the peak of the giant mountain.
This layer of clouds, based on previous visual inspections and the distance he climbed, is only about three to four hundred meters thick, and is not very thick.
After all, some cumulonimbus clouds can reach a thickness of several thousand or even ten kilometers. In front of those clouds, the small cloud above Xu Xin's head is still a little weaker, and it is also very white. It does not seem to be dangerous. .
Based on the thickness of the clouds and the height ratio of the giant peak protruding from the clouds, he could roughly deduce that the height of this giant peak should be between 1,500 meters and 1,800 meters.
In other words, he should have climbed a third of the way up by now.
And the time has not even passed two hours, and half of it was spent just exploring the cave and dealing with the bald eagle.
There is plenty of time.
After replenishing her physical strength and condition, Xu Xin began to climb up again.
After climbing about another hundred meters, the surrounding environment also changed a lot.
All the potholes where you could rest have disappeared. As you continue upward, the rock walls are uneven, but there are no more potholes where you can rest, so you can only climb up in one go.
It seems that this is entering the next stage.
The current height is about 700 meters.
In other words, he has passed the ultra-low temperature stage of 300-700 meters and entered the next stage of climbing this snow peak.
And the few bald eagles just now were just a small episode, maybe they were not what should have appeared in the previous stage.
They should just be leftovers in the dungeon. If he hadn't taken out the energy core fragments just now, maybe those mutated bald eagles wouldn't have been attracted to him.
He did not rush to climb up, but raised his head and began to observe this section of the journey.
It was only about two hundred meters away from the bottom of the clouds.
The wind finally began to blow around, and the mist began to flow with the wind.
Fortunately, the wind was not strong, just a breeze, which would not affect his safety while climbing.
"Huh?" Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked about a hundred meters above.
The mountain wall there actually protrudes outward in a circle.
As far as he could see, at that height, the giant peak protruded out of the rock wall.
It protruded about one meter, like a balcony protruding from a high-rise building.
That neat circle feels a bit abrupt.
Isn't it a platform above that?
Is there something on it?
Treasure?
Xu Xin's eyes lit up.
The height there is about 800 meters. According to the height he just calculated, it is probably the middle of the entire stone pillar peak! Maybe, there really will be some good stuff out there!
Xu Xin immediately gained motivation, took a deep breath, exerted force on both arms, and the whole person immediately climbed up three meters.
It had been a long time since he had received an event reward, and he was a little excited at the thought that there might be a reward just 100 meters away.
The body continued to climb upwards, and the surrounding wind speed gradually increased, but Xu Xin was not affected much, and instead felt a lot more relaxed, because the wind on the cliff will form an updraft after being affected by the terrain. .
The updraft lifted him upwards, making his arms much easier.
Yes, there is actually wind to help.
He continued to climb up, and when he reached about forty or fifty meters away from the protruding platform, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.
Not because the wind is getting stronger, but because...
He seemed to hear something, coming from the platform above!
Looking up, Xu Xin listened carefully.
Because of the sound of wind around, the sounds above could not be heard clearly.
After climbing about ten meters more, the sound that reached his ears gradually became clearer, Xu Xin's expression became more and more solemn, and the climbing movement stopped completely.
There is really movement up there!
There are strange sounds!
It sounded like the sound of something rubbing, and the sound of scratching the stone wall.
It's a living creature!
Moreover, there are a lot of them, because this kind of sound can be heard from every position on this raised rock wall!
Xu Xin didn't think that this creature appearing in the sky would be any good!
Could it be that...
Just as Xu Xin was nervously guessing, suddenly, there was a chaotic commotion above.
Then, the scene in front of him made his eyes widen!
I saw a big bird with wings spread suddenly leaping out from the raised steps!
This big bird has black and gray feathers all over its body, and its wingspan of more than four meters can even block the sun for a moment!
The clouds cover the sun!
This bird is so big! (End of chapter)
