Pei Yan was eating beef jerky and took out the map to look at it.

Although the map was not very detailed, they could still get a rough idea based on the route they had just taken.

"If this line represents the mountain we just bypassed, we should be here now."

He pointed to a point a little further back between the two lines.

There are three triangular locations on the map, but we don’t know what they represent yet.

These three triangles are also circled by a light red mark.

Gu Chaoxi took another sip of water and took a closer look.

"Maybe this area is hidden, but the person who drew the map wasn't sure which part of the map it was, so he drew it broader?"

She was just guessing. After all, from the moment they climbed the snowy mountain until now, all they could see was nothing but a vast expanse of white.

After resting for a while and waiting until they were warmed up, the three of them slowly moved out of the tent.

After dismantling and putting away the tent, the three of them put on their hats and continued walking forward.

Now it was the side behind me. The wind and snow were a little better than before, but still freezing cold.

After walking upward for about two kilometers, I saw various raised snow slopes in front of me.

"Maybe there's something there."

Qin Wei pointed forward, and behind a high bulge, she seemed to see a hint of black.

Like a hole with something sunk in.

"Go and see."

Pei Yan took a look, nodded and closed his eyes.

The wind that just blew was so cold that it made me shiver.

The three of them groped their way over there, their feet so cold that they could no longer feel anything.

The thick snow left deep footprints when you stepped on it, but as the wind blew the snow down, the footprints were buried again after a while.

When we reached the raised snow slope we had just seen, we saw a place similar to a small hole behind it.

Or perhaps the hole itself is quite large, but the years of snow and frost have almost buried its entrance.

The only exposed hole seemed to be not touching the ground, and a shallow path led downwards.

Pei Yan climbed up the exposed rock on the side with some effort and looked inside.

He had just taken out the flashlight from his backpack and now, when he shone it inside, all he could see was black besides the white snow.

"It looks very deep, let's go in and take a look."

He lifted his foot and stepped on the snow, exerting a little force, and his ankle sank directly into it.

Fortunately, the snow on the mountain is thick enough, and the ground underneath is already quite solid.

He felt the force under his feet and then stepped his other foot in.

The exposed part of the cave entrance was only enough for an adult to slide down half-lying down.

Pei Yan kicked the snow in front of his feet several times, and the scattered snow rolled inside, and the hole in front of him became bigger.

He simply half-lay down, pushed hard with his feet, and slid in.

Qin Wei and Gu Chaoxi didn't dare to go forward, so they had to wait at the entrance of the cave.

"Come down, it's spacious inside!"

Pei Yan's voice came from inside, but the echo was not loud.

Gu Chaoxi took out a flashlight from his backpack, turned it on and shone it inside. He could only vaguely see Pei Yan's silver hair.

She leaned sideways to protect her arm, rubbed it hard, and slid in.

When I landed, my butt hit the ground hard, and it felt cold.

He almost immediately turned over and got up from the ground.

"It's so cold!"

After brushing off the snow on his clothes, Gu Chaoxi jumped two steps forward.

This cave seemed to be even colder than outside. Even though there was no wind, it still made people shudder.

After a while, Qin Wei also slid down.

She stood up, shook off the snow on her body, and saw Pei Yan walking forward with a flashlight.

This cave is strange. It looks spacious at the entrance, but becomes lower and lower as you go deeper inside.

It felt like the cave was only this big and there was no other place to hide.

"Walk over there, I hear water."

Gu Chaoxi grabbed Pei Yan who was walking in front of him and shone the flashlight in his hand toward the deep right side.

As far as the eye can see, there are increasingly low rock walls, and crystal clear water droplets can be vaguely seen falling down.

Qin Wei smacked his lips: "There's no ice here?"

"It seeped out of the rock."

She let go of her hand and walked towards the place she had just illuminated.

The further she went, the more her waist bent, until in the end she could only squat and move slowly forward.

“Is there really a road ahead?”

“The road may not be certain, but the gap does exist.”

Gu Chaoxi shone his flashlight forward along the place where he had just fallen into the water, and sure enough, he saw a small hollow pit appear in front of him.

The faint sound of wind she just heard should have come from here.

Moving forward, the three of them simultaneously stretched out their flashlights to look down.

It was about one meter tall, and the rocks on the ground were wet and looked uneven.

"You can leave, but it's not easy to go down here."

After Pei Yan finished speaking, he leaned forward with his hands on the rock.

It's already cramped here, and there are some rocks protruding downwards blocking the way.

If you want to go down through this small hole, you must first lie down at this position, and then slowly move down in the opposite direction.

But there was still water on the ground. If their clothes got wet, the three of them would probably freeze to death before they found what they were looking for.

"Put the tent here first, and then pack it up when we get down."

Gu Chaoxi thought about it and started to untie the backpack on Pei Yan's back.

He did not stop him, but just stepped aside to let Gu Chaoxi take out the things inside.

This is the only way now.

The three of them set up the tent around the cave entrance and looked at each other.

Gu Chaoxi took the lead, hooked his feet on the edge of the cave, and then slowly lay down.

"Move back, we'll help you keep an eye on the top of your head."

Qin Wei's hands moved a little distance away to protect her head, and she lowered her head and slowly moved back.

Her calves stretched down toward the cave entrance, and she held the flashlight tightly in her hand.

When her lower body was completely hanging in the cave entrance, Gu Chaoxi slowly raised her head and saw a protruding rock above her head, which she almost hit when she raised her head.

"Be careful."

Pei Yan instructed.

Gu Chaoxi said "hmm" and gradually exerted force on his hands.

After a moment, only the part above her chest was still lying at the entrance of the cave, with her entire lower body hanging on the entrance.

"Can you jump?"

Qin Wei shone the flashlight over there and saw that Gu Chaoxi's feet were still some distance from the ground.

"let me try."

She exerted force on her hands, tilted her head and slowly looked down.

With the help of Qin Wei's flashlight, he finally saw a slightly flat area.

After holding his breath, Gu Chaoxi let go and fell downwards.

Fortunately, I stepped on the right spot and stood firmly on my feet smoothly.

I shone the flashlight around and found that it was much wider than the above, like a naturally formed cave.
