Chapter 34: Thousands of Ice and Thousands of Snows

The sunshine in Tibet always comes later. It was almost 9:00 that the genius slowly lit up. I woke up Daji, prepared to eat something, and followed the team to go on the road.

None of the three of us are normal ordinary people, so we will be exempted from the five-day adaptation period of the base camp. Things are always like this. Before we start, we think about it, but when we get in front of us, we feel much more calm.

A team has already begun to enter the mountain. We are following them. There are several young Chinese people, all brave challengers, including two girls.

This Mount Everest is not a place where individuals can achieve glory. Only by taking out all the souls of awe can you have the opportunity to get close to her and get her attachment and blessing.

The team we followed was a traditional climbing route on the north slope in China. It was initially estimated that it would take more than 40 days to reach the top. We carried backpacks, changed into hiking boots, leaned on hiking poles, wore helmets and windproof glasses, carried about 25 kilograms of weight, and began to walk towards the top of the mountain step by step...

The wind is not strong today, but it is still a slap in the face and the wind pushes the cheek. The process of walking is step by step. This is a torture process, a long waiting process, a painful and happy process.

About three hours later, we replenished our food, had a short rest, and then got up and continued to move forward. In the afternoon, we went up to an altitude of 600 meters and arrived at the transition camp at an altitude of 5,800 meters. We felt that there was not much change, so we rested here at night.

The next morning, the voice of the leader woke us up. We all had food, carried this heavy equipment, and continued to set off on the road. Today's task is relatively heavy. We have to go up 700 meters and reach the forward camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters.

The air is getting thinner and thinner. Every step takes a lot of effort. The legs are as heavy as lead. This heavy weight makes people completely forget the coldness and blowing of the wind and snow. They only know how to adjust their breathing. Jiang Xinshang is a little lost and starts to use oxygen bags to supply oxygen. Daji and I are fine, and we can still persist.

Finally, it was at ** in the afternoon, and it became dark and we arrived at the forward camp. The leader told us that we would be trimming and adapting here for 4 days.

In the evening, we opened the tent and ate. We went to see Jiang Xinshang first. He was fine. After that, we lay in the down sleeping bag. The two of us looked at each other, not knowing what to say. After all, we were very tired. A lot of perseverance and confidence at the beginning were worn out.

"King, how do you feel?" Daji asked me.

"When I was in America, I was a leopard in the snow-capped mountains. I had no problem below 7,000 meters, but after 7,000 meters, I insisted on it and it was not a big problem. What about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable with your body?" I asked her instead.

"Maybe it's Lotus Root's body. I didn't feel difficult to breathe or tired. Everything was fine. I even found that when I went up the mountain, my footprints were much shallower than others. Don't worry, lord."

"Hey--it's been a pain for you!" I touched her face that was a little thick at the beginning.

After 5 days of repairing here, everyone didn't talk much to each other, and they were trying their best to adapt to such an environment, such loneliness and tests on themselves.

Today's mission is to head towards the North Col camp at an altitude of 7,028 meters. Jiang Xinshang looked in good condition and even walked over to me and smiled at me, saying that he would not be so fierce next time. A team of more than a dozen people started a long climb again. In this way, another day passed.

Fortunately, we did not encounter very bad weather, but the snow on the mountain became thicker and thicker. Only Daji walked easily, and she did only step on a very shallow layer of snow. The leader came over and asked her what advanced equipment she used. The second girl told her that the light skills she had lost for thousands of years "Steping on the snow without traces," which caused the leader to return in disappointment.

However, such a small episode did adjust the dull atmosphere. At night, the leader told us that we would continue to repair here for 7 days, but we would have to intermittently test it to 7,500 meters.

During these 7 days, our king's height of 7,500 meters tentatively traveled four times. After confirming that we could adapt, we returned to Dingri and the base camp to continue to repair. After 10 days, we continued to climb chargeably.

After adapting to and feeling the altitude of 7,500 meters, we were neatly equipped again. It was already 26 days since we first entered the mountain. This time, our first stop was the forward camp with an altitude of 6,500. The environment here is not unfamiliar, but the weather changed this time, and the wind and snow were very heavy. In desperation, after another 7 days of rest, we waited for a good weather without clouds.

The next battle was continuous. In three days, we reached the North Col camp at an altitude of 7,208 meters and the 7,790 camp at an altitude of 7,790 meters, and finally stood at the assault camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters. At this time, 36 days had passed since our first departure.

At 9:30 am, the sun was shining and a little charming. The peak of Mount Everest was towering into the blue sky, and white clouds lingered among the mountains. Such a rare and beautiful weather should be the best wishes of this Everest to us. Today, we are going to sprint towards the last 500 meters.

Three hours later, we were already standing in the world of ice and snow at an altitude of 8,500 meters. Under the guidance of a red rope, the group of people worked together to climb firmly towards the peak of the fog-steamed peak. In order to reduce the burden on their bodies, everyone threw away what they didn't use for the time being. A group of bachelor-like people were preparing for the final charge. In the end, the three of us only carried an oxygen cylinder, down sleeping bag and some food.

Even so, we were cautiously heading towards the top of the mountain with heavy steps, after all, the physical strength was consumed too much.

Another two hours passed, and a nearly upright rock cliff crossed in front of us. This was the only way to the top of the mountain and the gates of hell to the top. The group used many methods and declared failure.

The leader used his hands to cleave the cracks of the rocks, and after climbing for a few seconds, he fell back to his original place. Several people used the method of stacking arhats to be unable to succeed. The long-term attempt made everyone unable to maintain their physical strength. Finally, Daji stood up.

"Master, let's go. I think the lotus root is very light. You might as well give it a try." She whispered. I nodded and agreed with her statement.

We found the team leader, and Daji said that she could try her hand with her thousand-year-old skill "Steping on the Snow Without Trace" light skills. The team leader told us without hope that safety first.

I walked under the cliff and squatted down slowly. Daji tried to step on my shoulders, and then slowly stood up with his feet. At such an altitude, such physical strength, and such a cold and desperate environment, to make any subtle movement, it requires strong perseverance to support him.

At this time, although Daji was not very heavy, I had already started to see stars. I stopped breathing and stood up very slowly. Daji's hands had been inserted into the cracks of the rock, his feet slowly left my shoulders, and kicked the tiny bulge on the surface of the rock...

Suddenly, everyone was shocked. Daji bit his lips, suddenly exerted force, and his feet quickly bounced up, then he kicked twice on the surface of the rock, stretched his body, and stretched his hands to the height at the same time, jumping more than one meter high, firmly grasping the support point at the top of the cliff. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of him, as if he had even stopped breathing. My heart fell to the bottom.

He? Mom is so silly! This girl is so brave.

At this time, Daji's foot kicked the rock surface twice, and half of his body had already overwhelmed the flat layer at the top of the cliff, and slowly climbed up. Everyone let out a long breath, and I was so shocked that I was covered in cold sweat. Jiang Xinshang walked over, patted me, and said, "Good!"

At this time, Daji fixed the rope to the support point at the top of the cliff, hung it down, and then sat down. It seemed that he was also scared.

At this time, the leader squatted down and said, "Step on me and go up first, and see how the person is." I didn't know where the strength came from. I stepped on the leader's shoulder without hesitation, grabbed the rope, and climbed up on the rock surface. I saw Daji support the ground with both hands, looked at me, and said with tears in my eyes: "Thank God, I'm still alive."

I replied: "Excellent! The king's woman!"

Then, we didn't dare to tie the rope to the support point anymore, so we picked up the rope, let the leader catch it first, and pulled him up. After that, the team members climbed up one after another.

When everyone came up, we looked at the watch and four hours had passed, and it was already 18:30 pm. It seemed that we were going to move forward in the evening. Various problems came in no time.

Everyone has less oxygen left and their physical strength is very overdrawn. Several team members have begun to be dizzy and it is extremely difficult to move in the dark. I held Daji's hand tightly, for fear of a little mistake.

The leader took out a rope, and everyone's hands were connected to a rope. Every step he took would take a lot of effort, but he would not lose anyone. In this way, we climbed towards the top of the mountain step by step.

I don’t know how long it took, there were no more rocks in front of us, no more mountains, only the clear and shining stars in the sky.

Slowly, the wind and snow seemed to be a little smaller. We saw the peaks of the mountains under our feet, the Himalayas under the night, and stepped on the peak of Mount Everest on the "top of the world"! There was no imagined joy and cheer in the crowd, only the tranquility and sigh of transcendence and conquering ourselves!

The mountains are high and the people make the peak.

Fourth update, give it to you with both hands! All kinds of requests, brothers and sisters! I will officially travel back to the Shang Dynasty tomorrow, and the style of the Shang Dynasty and the plot of the palace fighting will be grandly staged...
Chapter completed!
