The Kunlun Iceberg Mountain was tall and towering, winding and spiraling. Some parts of the mountain went straight down from the middle of the mountain, like a bottomless abyss. Furthermore, the mountain range extended for thousands of kilometers. It was covered in ice and snow, and the snow and wind whistled like a demon crying.
Therefore, the Kunlun Ice Mountain was not an easy place to pass through!
Back then, Hu Ba had entered the Kunlun Iceberg. After walking for a short distance, a comrade had lost his footing and fallen. Compared to the current route that Wang Yang and the others had opened up, it was simply insignificant.
Wang Yang was standing at the top of the cliff. Beneath his feet was a piece of ice. It was only half a meter wide, but it was more than ten meters thick. It was firm enough.
However, some parts were not even as wide as a palm.
Above him was a towering iceberg that reached the clouds. The iceberg tilted in that direction. But it was also steep.
Kacha.
He dug with the ice pick, and a half-ice and half-snow block rolled down into the bottomless abyss. He leaned out a little and followed it with the corner of his eye. After a while, the block of ice was still falling.
Hu ~
He sucked in a breath of cold air and felt his feet go numb. His legs were trembling slightly.
"How high is this?"
Fortunately, the wind and snow had lessened a lot, and they could hear each other talking from dozens of meters away. He looked at the fatty and the others who were leaning on the slope of the mountain and exclaimed.
It would have been better if he hadn't exclaimed.
This time, everyone's souls were floating.
"I estimate it to be two thousand meters high. This depth is really scary.”Hu Ba looked at Wang Yang and said, then looked at the abyss. He was afraid that he would have to walk through the abyss later.
"Mr. Wang, be careful."
Xue Li Yang's beautiful eyes were filled with worry. This path was too dangerous, and no one knew if they could safely walk over.
She hung her camera on her shoulder and took photos as she walked. She took photos of Wang Yang on the cliff. Together with the icebergs, cliffs, snow, ice fog, and so on, it was a very awesome photo of an explorer.
Furthermore, it was a back view, which added to the mystery.
"No, there are traces of someone cleaning up here.”
Wang Yang saw a fountain pen in the ice and snow. There were English words engraved on it, but he couldn't read them clearly. He used an ice pick to break the ice on the edge of the fountain pen and picked it up to take a look.
"Mr. Wang, what did you find?”
Xue Li Yang saw that it looked like a fountain pen and asked impatiently.
"A fountain pen with English words engraved on it. shirley。”Wang Yang waved his fountain pen at Shirley and Yang Huang. Then, he thought about it. The English translation was more or less: Shirley.
Anyway, that was what he meant. His English was not very good!
"Little Yang, translate Chinese, don't speak bird language.”
Fatty did not understand English.
"It's more or less the meaning of 'Cherry'.”
Xue Li Yang took a deep breath and said,""That was my father's birthday present. My name was engraved on it.”
"It seems that my father's archeological team also walked through here. We are on the right path.”
Then, Xue Li Yang walked around Ye Yixin, Professor Chen, and the others. She came to Hu Bayi's side and said,""Let's go. Don't just stand there.”
"Fatty, let's go."
Hu Bayi gently pushed Fatty's shoulder. He knew that Fatty was afraid of heights, but he had to get over it.
Unless Fatty turned back.
"Miss Yang, do you think your father fell off the cliff? Otherwise, how could he have dropped the pen?”Fatty really hit the nail on the head, causing Xue Li Yang's expression to turn gloomy.
She looked down the cliff. Perhaps her father had really fallen down from here and entered the eastern foot of Kunlun Ice Mountain as his teammate?
She wasn't sure.
"You guys wait there first. I'll clear the route and then release the rope. Everyone pull the rope and slowly come over.”Wang Yang observed the road on the cliff. It was only two hundred meters long, and it was the big pass.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Wang Yang picked up the ice pick and dug into the snow. With every step he took, he dug a pit to see if it was firm enough, and then he continued on to the next one... After two hours of delay, when the sky was almost dark, he finally cleared a small tunnel where he could step down.
Small tunnels, as the name suggested. It was a small pit dug out from the steep cliff of an iceberg. It was big enough for one to step inside. Each small pit was separated by half a meter or dozens of centimeters. Other than the small pits, no other place could be stepped on.
Even this small tunnel was dug out from the ice block that extended from the cliff.
Hu Bayi and Xue Li Yang were climbing the iceberg one after the other. They stepped on the small pit that Wang Yang had dug and slowly walked down the cliff. When they looked out of the corner of their eyes, Hu Bayi's feet were trembling slightly.
It was too high down there.
Xue Li Yang didn't seem to be afraid at all. She was even faster than Hu Bayi. In a short while, she crossed the cliff and arrived at the big pass. The terrain here was relatively flat. The mountains on both sides were inclined to the outside, causing the pass to be narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.
There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and frozen soil could be seen.
Hu Bayi also came over. He turned around and looked at the cliff that was more than ten meters away. He was relieved to be able to come over safely.
"Find a place to fix the rope."
Wang Yang took out a rope as thick as a thumb from his big backpack and handed one end to Hu Bayi. He grabbed the other end himself. This rope was long enough, two to three hundred meters long.
The big backpack was Gawa's. It was filled with a wireless communication device that weighed more than 30 pounds. The rest were tools that Wang Yang carried over.
Huba took out tools from his backpack, a big iron awl and a hammer. He found a place, held the hammer in his right hand, and supported the big iron awl with his left hand. He knocked the half-meter-long iron awl into the soil, then passed the rope through the hole in the iron awl and tied it up.
Xue Li Yang held the fountain pen that her father had died in and looked at it for a few seconds. A few drops of tears fell from her eyes. She then put the fountain pen away and walked to Hu Ba's side." Mr. Hu, let's catch it."”
The two of them grabbed the rope and pulled it hard. It was very firm.
"Alright, I'm going over."
Wang Yang saw that Hu Ba had secured the other end of the rope, so he tied the other end of the rope to his waist and brought the big iron awl and the hand hammer over.
"Be careful."
Xue Li Yang was really concerned about Wang Yang now. Just based on her ability to dig on the cliff of the ice mountain, she asked herself, whether it was her physical strength or finding a place to stay, she was far inferior to Wang Yang.
Wang Yang took two hours to finish it, but she knew that she would need at least five hours.
She had already realized that this trip to Jingjue Ancient City would definitely be filled with danger. They had just arrived at the Kunlun Iceberg, and the cliff of the iceberg had almost stumped everyone. Therefore, it was fine if there was no one, but Wang Yang could not be absent.
Bang bang bang!
Wang Yang nailed the iron awl into the mountain of ice that extended out from the cliff. Then, he passed the rope through the hole in the iron awl and pulled it along the cliff. Every once in a while, he would nail in a big iron awl and thread the rope.
"Fatty, put on your seatbelt and go over.”
Wang Yang came to Fatty's side. The mountain was slanted here. The cliff was five or six meters away from him. He had to go over the cliff. He nailed the big iron awl into the mountain, tied it with a rope, and told Fatty to go over first.
Fatty gritted his teeth, grabbed the seatbelt around his waist, and took a deep breath. Then, he slowly walked up the cliff.
" Don't look down, just look at where you're standing. Mr. Fatty, you can do it…"
Xue Li Yang was shouting at Fatty, encouraging him.
"Shut up, I know. If you keep shouting, I'm going to…fall!”When Fatty heard Xue Li Yang's shout, he couldn't help but look in her direction. With one look, he could see the sky above the bottomless abyss, scaring him so much that his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Fatty reached an iron awl and raised his head. He reached out to grab the rope and unbuckled the seatbelt. Then, he buckled the rope on the other side of the iron awl.
"Little Yang, the rope you nailed is very technical. It's not high or low.”
Fatty's words bolstered his courage, and he slowly walked forward.
"Professor Chen, Gawa, Professor Hao, go.”
Wang Yang shouted. The sky was almost dark now. If they delayed any longer, there would only be a vast expanse of snow left, and it would not be easy to see the light.
Although Professor Chen was old and physically weak, he was not afraid of heights. Hao Aiguo followed behind Professor Chen, and Gawa followed behind them. The three of them wore seatbelts and slowly walked on the iceberg.
"Ah, Old Hu, Little Yang, save me.”
Suddenly, Fatty slipped and fell down.
The rope was pulled by his gravity and dropped half a meter.
He started to swing on the cliff, and the safety belt and rope pulled him back. The iron awls that were inserted into the iceberg at both ends of his rope loosened slightly.
A cracking sound could be heard.
The iron awl retreated by half.
"Fatty…"
"Comrade Little Fatty…"
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, there was a safety rope. Fatty grabbed the rope with both hands and felt that there was nothing under his feet. His feet kept swaying and struggling.
He almost peed.
"Fatty, don't struggle. This ice mountain can't block the iron awl. If you continue to struggle, the iron awl will retreat.”
Wang Yang shouted.
Fatty's current position was at the other end of the cliff, between the third and second iron awls, very close to Hu Bayi and Xue Li Yang.
He would be able to reach the mountain pass safely if he walked another twenty meters.
"Fatty, don't move. I'll be right there.”
Hu Ba quickly took out his seatbelt from his backpack and fastened it around his waist. He fastened the seatbelt to the rope and climbed over the iceberg. Xue Li Yang followed.
The two of them came to Fatty and grabbed the rope to pull.
Fatty was lifted up by the rope by more than ten centimeters. Huba reached out and grabbed his seatbelt, pulling him up.
Fatty's face was pale and he was about to cry.
He didn't get any benefits from coming here. He was almost scared to death.
"Xue Li Yang, if you don't pay me more, I'm going to be angry with you.”
Fatty almost cried out. He clung to the iceberg with both hands and stepped on two small pits with his feet apart.
"Alright, alright, alright. Jia Jia, you can add as much as you want.”
Xue Li Yang was a little speechless. To think that he could still think of increasing the price at this time, how much did this fatty love money?
Fatty slowly followed Hu Ba and soon arrived safely.
Seeing that Fatty was saved by the rope after falling, everyone felt safe with the rope as a safety net.
Professor Chen and the other two arrived safely.
Sa Dipeng, Chu Jian, and the signalman were all young. They slowly walked over the cliff, and now only Ye Yixin was left.
She didn't dare to go over last no matter what.
In fact, she wanted to be with Wang Yang so that she could be more secure.
She had long realized that following Wang Yang was the safest.
"Comrade Xiao Ye, let's go."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yi fastened his seatbelt and buckled it on the main rope before following Wang Yang.
Looking at the bottomless abyss beneath her feet, Ye Yixin's beautiful face was filled with fear. Her entire body was trembling, and she quickly shut her eyes, not daring to move.
Wang Yang was speechless. It was all a mission from the system. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed these burdens.
Grabbing Ye Yixin's hand, Wang Yang said,""Don't be afraid. Let's go."
Ye Yixin suddenly felt an indescribable sense of security in her heart. She held Wang Yang's hand and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. It was as if she was holding hands with a man on a cliff.
How exciting.
After successfully making it over, Wang Yang stood on the snow at the entrance of the mountain pass. He let go and realized that Ye Yixin was still holding his hand tightly. Everyone cast strange looks at him and he was a little embarrassed.
I was forcefully held by a little beauty?
"Comrade Xiao Ye, you are safe."
"Ah!?" Ye Yixin exclaimed in surprise and quickly let go of Wang Yang's hand. He lowered his head and walked to the side with shame written all over his face.
"Beep, beep. The system has detected that the host has safely led the team over the cliff. Your performance has been outstanding. It's light as heavy."
