Chapter 167
The host was extremely hospitable and the dinner that night was extremely sumptuous.
Cold yak meat, cordyceps roasted pork, Tibetan buns, lung filling, enema, rice with milk, roasted lamb chops, ginseng and mutton tendons.
Of course, the specialty highland barley wine is also indispensable.
Hu Ming ate it with relish. Thirty or forty years from now, without thirty or fifty thousand, he would not be able to eat these things!
Everything was ready, and the group set off early the next morning without further delay.
Along the way, several people passed through the vast no-man's land and took a good look at the many creatures living in the no-man's land.
But halfway, the group encountered a lake at the foot of the mountain pass, in which many black-necked waterbirds lived.
What is unusual is that when no one disturbs them, they actually fly south in groups.
“Trouble, this black-necked waterbird is not a migratory bird with the habit of migrating.”
"This abnormal situation is either due to an avalanche in Mount Caramere, or... there is a cold wave coming."
Hu Ming picked up his telescope and looked at this spectacular scene from a distance. His brows furrowed deeply.
From a distance, there are no abnormal phenomena in the Caramere Mountains, and there are no avalanches.
So, the cold wave is coming soon...
"Brother, you know the plateau very well. Indeed, the time now is the time of the cold wave."
>
"It's an unlucky time for you to come. Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid a cold wave is already brewing. It won't be long before the cold wave comes. By then, the inside of Mount Caramere will become extremely dangerous."
The guide glanced at Hu Ming in surprise on Chu Yi, as if he didn't expect that Hu Ming could discover the problem based on these subtle circumstances.
As he said that, on the first day of the month, he picked up the sheepskin wine from his waist, took a big sip of highland barley wine, and threw the wine bottle to Hu Ming.
Hu Ming didn’t show any pretense, and took a big sip. On the plateau, in the ice and snow, wine is a good thing.
Critical moments can save lives.
"Okay! Brother, you are indeed a man, quite forthright!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Yi couldn't help laughing. Men in Xijiang like this kind of bold people the most.
“Don’t worry, I have followed monks into the mountains to collect herbs since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the situation in the mountains. I know some shortcuts to where you want to go, which can save a lot of time.”
< br>"Even if the cold wave comes, I am sure to bring you all back!"
"We will take a short break and set off to Zanggu Valley in twenty minutes, where we can pass safely."
Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the group, Chu Yi could not help but comfort him.
"Bone Valley? Are there any bones there?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xianming was startled subconsciously and asked.
“There are no human bones in Zanggu Valley. The reason why it is called this is because it is the place where all the beasts commit suicide.”
“There are a large number of yellow sheep, bison, Tibetan horses and bears, running Jump there and commit suicide. The bottom of the ditch is full of bones of beasts. "
"Whenever the crescent moon looks like an eyebrow, the wild beasts in the mountains will look at the moon and jump into the ditch from high places to die. With their death, the anger of the gods will be appeased.”
"According to legend, any animal that jumps into a ditch and dies can escape from the animal realm and be reincarnated as a human being."
Chu Yi glanced at Lei Xianming and said calmly.
Hu Ming found it strange that he did not know Lei Xianming before the first year of junior high school.
But the strange thing is that it's as if the two of them don't like each other.
After seeing Lei Xianming in the first year of junior high school, he never had a good look on him... This is very interesting.
“But you don’t have to worry too much.”
“In our tribe, even the old man with the longest beard has never seen this scene. From what they said, it seems that it has been almost a year. I haven’t seen such a magical scene in a hundred years.”
Looking at the shocked expressions on Hu Bayi and Fatty’s faces, Chu Yi smiled and explained.
Hu Ming’s destination is Shenluogou.
But to go there, Zanggugou is indeed the safest and fastest way.
There is no reason to avoid there and take the long way around.
Furthermore, since this phenomenon has not occurred for nearly a hundred years, I guess it is not such a coincidence that I encountered it this time.
Hu Bayi and Fatty thought so. Seeing the joy on the visitor's face, Hu Ming couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Can't be that coincidental? Oh! I'm afraid they don't know their luck.
Just like Murphy's theorem, they worry that this will happen.
But it is already destined that they will encounter a scene of a group of animals that has never been seen in a century and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Twenty minutes later, the group set off again.
At first, he placed the shotgun and Tibetan knife in the most convenient places on his waist, took out the highland barley wine, and drank a few sips.
In the mountains, especially in the inaccessible Caramere Mountains, it is extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful, accidents may occur.
After finishing all this, Chu Yi shook the prayer wheel and took the whip in one hand, leading the way into the mountain.
Hu Ming and others followed him, twisting and turning in the mountains. After spending a long time, seeing the sky gradually turning dark, they arrived at Gaqingpo.
Gaqingpo is the only place to go to Zanggu Valley. The altitude here is already very high.
Han Shuna and Axiang may be quite thin, but fortunately, they have generally adapted to the plateau climate, and they only have shortness of breath when they get here.
But Lei Xianming couldn't hold on any longer. He seemed a little unable to hold on. He held the oxygen tube and breathed in for a while.
Hu Ming shook his head when he saw it. Altitude sickness can kill people. If you can't adapt to this climate, you will definitely die if you stay on the plateau for more than thirty days.
The most terrifying thing is that because the altitude is too high, the air pressure decreases.
If you stay here for a long time, your heart will gradually become larger. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be irreversibly damaged.
Lei Xianming, even if he goes back this time, it will be in vain.
At this time, Hu Ming and others were walking forward around the edge of the mountain, looking diagonally forward.
The clouds and mist there were blown away by the mountain wind, and a long, narrow and deep trench opened on the ground.
The terrain here is dangerous. Let alone jumping from here, even just looking at it makes people feel a little scared.
Fortunately, the fat man simply closed his eyes all the way and allowed the yak to take him forward.
Otherwise, the fat man would be so scared that he would pee right now.
