Chapter 209 Ghostly Shadows in the Snowy Mountains

Thin Ice finally reached the ridge, but it didn't make him feel better for long.

In order to carry Ye Tianxing safely up the mountain, Bo Bing could only climb slowly along the side of the mountain. They were already far from the 2800m campsite. Looking back, Bo Bing couldn't help but regret that he should have taken a little more risk and chosen a suitable place to return to the 2800m campsite.

The sky was covered with gray, overcast clouds, and snowflakes were falling incessantly.

Bo Bing is caught in a dilemma; he cannot leave now.

The preceding punctuation marks are pyramids. The strong winds on the sides almost overturned the thin ice, but fortunately, the weight of the two people held them down, preventing them from being blown off.

Anyone experienced in the outdoors knows that beginners encountering heavy snow in this kind of situation will be anxious to descend the mountain, but if they encounter a landslide, snow cave, or ravine during the descent, they will surely die. Ye Tianxing was purely lucky to have thin ice saving him; otherwise, he would have been doomed. If he had fallen any further, even if thin ice had come, he would have had to turn back empty-handed.

When encountering heavy snow, the correct approach is to treat it like thin ice.

—First, climb up the mountain from where you fell, then walk down the ridge.

We've been climbing the thin ice for almost seven hours, and you can imagine how exhausted we are. But there's nowhere to stop and rest; stopping means death.

[Finger Bone Strengthening] is running.

[Leg Bone Strengthening] is in progress.

【Yongquan】is in operation.

[January 12, 18:43, Heavy snow, northwest wind, temperature -26 degrees Celsius]

The energy consumption in the snow was severe, and Ye Tianxing seemed to have a fever and fainted. The system told Bo Bing that Ye Tianxing was not in immediate danger, but it was hard to say what would happen if it went on for a while.

Despite her physical limitations, Bo Bing managed to climb the pyramid two hours later, thanks to the system's operation.

The night wind carried snowflakes, and the thin ice began to shiver. His feet were so cold they didn't feel like their own, and his snow boots were filled with ice and snow. He could only grit his teeth and quicken his pace, braving the cold wind to move forward for a while.

Bo Bing carefully observed his surroundings and chose to cut across to the right to avoid the storm. Finally, his efforts paid off, and he found a small sheltered spot on one side.

He wrapped Ye Tianxing and himself in an emergency blanket and frantically ate snow to replenish their fluids.

Ye Tianxing woke up groggily and swallowed the dry rations that Bo Bing had given him.

"Where are we?"

Ye Tianxing heard his once-proud voice now hoarse and barely audible.

The wind was very strong.

Ye Tianxing slightly moved his sluggish blood.

The 【Yongquan - External Treatment】 was quite effective; he was only limited in his mobility, which was negligible compared to the consumption of thin ice.

Bo Bing lowered her eyes. "I don't know either. We'll just have to wait and see."

Will we die here?

Ye Tianxing smiled, somewhat relieved, "I just feel a little bad for you."

"Let's save those kinds of words for when we get out."

Bo Bing swallowed the compressed biscuit in his mouth. "I will descend when we encounter the descent route. The patient should just sleep peacefully."

The system's [Speed ​​of Life and Death] is not unlimited. Bo Bing dared not activate this heaven-defying skill rashly. The skill has a time limit and can only be used at the most critical moment. Bo Bing did not know how much longer he would have to walk. The time this skill provided was a drop in the ocean for the snow mountain and could not possibly last until they left the snow mountain.

The thin ice is now like a headless fly, only able to move forward in the snow-capped mountains by instinct.

The situation here is not good.

Bo Bing tried to scout out several times within three hours, but he couldn't get through the windy mountain area, so he had to return here again.

But waiting is not the best option; both body temperature and energy are waning.

"Caught it."

Bo Bing strapped the person to his back, saying, "If you can't get up there, you'll die."

This is the process of climbing the first tower. Bo Bing's finger bones are almost exhausted. His large movements are rapidly depleting his strength and endurance. He grabs the upper part of the rock with his bare hands and hangs himself up.

This is an almost impossible action, and one that most people wouldn't dare to do here.

Bo Bing was climbing upwards with his life on the line, his fate hanging by a thread.

Ye Tianxing obediently rested on Bo Bing's shoulder, afraid that any movement would affect her actions.

The feeling of limited visibility was unpleasant, and with the added effect of snowflakes, Bo Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she stood at the top of the first tower.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning.

It was already around five in the morning.

Ye Tianxing keenly noticed that Bo Bing's physical strength had been severely depleted. The young man, who was not panting heavily before, was now panting and his steps had become heavy, as if he had already overexerted himself. However, he still took heavy steps and increased his speed to crawl sideways.

Gradually, even Ye Tianxing noticed that something was wrong with the young man.

It's not just a decline in physical function; young people are also starting to take inexplicable routes.

They could have cut through from the side, but the young man seemed obsessed with climbing higher up the rock face. He would climb up any rock he saw, and then continue cutting through from the side. They were just passing through this area, so the cutting was completely meaningless to them.

six thirty.

Bo Bing arrived at the flat cliff entrance before the two-tiered tower.

He abandoned the idea of ​​cutting in from the left because the slope seemed steeper and more rugged there. To avoid the wind, Bo Bing had no choice but to cut in from the right.

This was the beginning of the disaster.

Ye Tianxing watched as Bo Bing strayed further and further off course, constantly circling and thrashing about.

However, in this situation, he didn't know the correct route and could only let the thin ice keep moving forward. The rocks here were quite large, and the thin ice had circled around several times without finding its way out, clearly starting to get anxious.

At this moment, Bo Bing had not slept for more than 24 hours.

A splitting headache.

The side effects of using the skill gave him a terrible headache. He hit his head twice, finally regaining a sliver of clarity in his unstable mind.

He had to shut down his [Fountain of Life] because his physical and mental strength could no longer support the skill consumption of the two of them.

Double vision appeared before my eyes, my feet started to go numb, and my lumbar spine began to ache with a dull pain. A nerve connected to my foot caused pain on the right side of my body when I stepped on it. My left hand, which had a metal plate in it and had not fully recovered from the excessive force, felt like it was being crushed.

The thin ice lost its therapeutic effect, and her ears began to feel foggy.

Fortunately, a woman dressed in red appeared ahead. She was blonde, blue-eyed, and tall, and looked like she was from abroad. She spoke a foreign language and waved when she saw the young man approaching, then began to lead the way.

Bo Bing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the snow tracks left by the hiker.

As they walked, the woman disappeared.

[Warning once]

Alpha's voice rang out.

Bo Bing felt a sharp pain in her head, followed by a minty coolness.

He suddenly snapped to reality. This was the path to the valley, not the side route! The woman—how could he know she was blonde and blue-eyed when she was so far away? And how could he know her language from that distance?

This is not right!

Bo Bing broke out in a cold sweat, his knees buckled, and he almost tumbled down.
