Chapter 644 - 644 Snow Mountain! (2)
644 Snow Mountain! (2)
After all, the place they were about to go to was an existence that no one in the entire beast world had ever stepped foot in.
Xing Rong took a look at the appearance of the teleportation array and remembered that when the Dark High Priest of the Snow Mountain Clan used it previously, it looked to be the same. Then, he nodded.
“This is it.”
Hearing Xingrong’s affirmative answer, Zhuge Qing took a few steps forward and looked at the teleportation array in front of him. Then, he took out the “DS-9 Enhanced Portable Full-body Shield” that Li Yao had used when he was ambushed by Ah Wen and the others outside the city and put it on her wrist.
“Everyone, prepare your shields. Remember to check if they’re charged.”
“Also, check your energy suits to see if there’s any leakage or damage.”
“None of us can guarantee what kind of situation we’ll face after we go over, so we have to be prepared.”
“I don’t want any casualties on this expedition!”
Zhuge Qing’s tone was very serious.
However, the other four people, including Tang Tian and Li Yao, did not feel that there was anything wrong with his tone and att.i.tude.
After all, one could not be careless in such matters.
It was all for their lives.
Therefore, the four of them began to check their equipment.
In fact, because Xingrong had never used such an Advanced Mutant Ability Equipment before as a deliveryman, Zhuge Qing even specially checked him again.
After confirming that the equipment was correct, Zhuge Qing took the lead and stood on it.
The others followed.
Buzz ~
With an extremely soft sound, the five of them disappeared from the gra.s.sland.
In the next second, when they regained their vision and senses, they were already completely in a world covered in snow.
With the help of the moonlight, the five of them looked around and realized that the teleportation they were currently in was on a platform that was clearly built by someone.
There was snow everywhere, and it was impossible to see anything further away.
This was because this place happened to be facing the wind on the Snow Mountain.
The wind was very strong now.
This caused the snowflakes to dance wildly in the air.
Coupled with the fact that it was night, the visibility was quite low.
“Lights on?”
Xu Jun walked around the platform, which was only about six to seven square meters, and looked at Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing waved her hand, then took out a pair of silver-white gla.s.ses and put them on.
“Let me take a look with my night vision.”
At this moment, the advantage of being an eye mutant was revealed.
Although Zhuge Qing’s superpower mainly focused on dynamic vision, this mutant ability also strengthened his vision at night to a certain extent.
In addition, the night vision goggles he took out was not the traditional kind.
It was a serious special ability item that could make the night as bright as day after wearing it.
This kind of equipment required light-type crystal cores, supplemented by runes engraved by light-type mutants.
Therefore, it was still relatively rare.
Of course, this was nothing to Li Yao, the young master of the Truth Corporation.
This time, most of the equipment of their five-member exploration team was sponsored by Li Yao.
After putting on the night vision goggles, Zhuge Qing looked ahead.
Then, he discovered a small building about a hundred meters away.
However, there was no sign of any creatures.
Then, he looked in the other three directions of the teleportation array platform.
The left and right sides were covered in white. Apart from the snow, there was nothing else.
Behind the high platform… was a cliff.
This shocked Zhuge Qing.
“Everyone, walk forward. Don’t be anxious. There’s a cliff behind us. Slow down…”
Zhuge Qing looked at an obvious cliff a few meters behind the high platform. When she spoke, she tried her best to speak in a calm tone.
At this moment, Xu Jun and the others also put on their night vision goggles.
Although they could not see hundreds of meters like Zhuge Qing,
However, the situation within dozens of meters could still be seen clearly.
Everyone looked at the dark cliff and decisively walked down the platform of the teleportation array.
“There’s a cl.u.s.ter of buildings ahead. Should we go over and take a look?”
“Let’s go!”
Xu Jun was the first to express his att.i.tude.
“Aren’t we here to look for someone? Wouldn’t it be perfect if there’s someone inside?”
The other three had the same idea.
Xing Rong immediately summoned Ghost Girl.
This was a “local”. What if this scene reminded her of something?
The moment Ghost Girl was summoned, she was stunned by the snowy scene in front of her.
When Xing Rong saw her standing there motionlessly, he knew that the Ghost Girl, Nethery, would definitely remember something.
In fact, that was also the case.
After about a minute, the Ghost Girl turned to look at Xingrong.
A cold voice sounded in the wind and snow.
“This is the entrance to the Icefield Valley. In front… there should be a sentry post.”
“There are about ten Snow Mountain warriors there. They will also raise some snow wolves to help everyone keep watch.”
“There’s a cliff of the Great Snow Mountain behind us. If we jump down from here and float for a distance, we’ll reach the gra.s.sland and forest.”
“Wait!”
Hearing this, Li Yao, who was focused, stopped.
He looked at the Ghost Girl and said in disbelief.
“You mean… jump down?”
“From this cliff?”
At this moment, even Xu Jun, the fool, was stunned by the Ghost Girl’s words.
It was mainly because this cliff looked very deep.
Coupled with the sound of the wind, it was at least a hundred meters.
Wouldn’t jumping down here have a death wish?
“Um… What kind of tool did you use? Or did you have some special ability?”
Zhuge Qing could not help but join the conversation.
The main thing was that it was indeed surprising.
This was not some stairs…
In any case, he could see 300 to 400 meters at night with the help of night vision but he had not seen the bottom of the cliff just now…
“A parachute made from the hide of a snow beast. With that, you can jump down safely.”
Zhuge Qing and the others: …
Apart from being unafraid of death, they really could not think of any words to describe the way she traveled.
“What about coming up? How do you do that?”
Tang Tian’s curiosity was completely piqued.
“Take the mountain road over there.”
The Ghost Girl pointed to the right of the platform.
“Then why don’t you descend from there?”
Xu Jun felt that he had seen someone who was even less bright than him.
There was clearly a path, so why would she choose to jump off the cliff?
However, the Ghost Girl’s answer was rather impeccable—
“Because it’s faster.”
“???”
Now, their faces were filled with question marks.
Wasn’t this train of thought too strange?
If there was an accident, wouldn’t it be faster?
One would be directly sent down.
Going down the mountain was fast, but going to h.e.l.l was also fast…
Perhaps because the Ghost Girl had recalled many things, she took the initiative to explain without waiting for Zhuge Qing and the others to ask.
“The Snow Mountain Clan lives in the snowy plains in the Snow Mountain Valley. The lowest elevation here is more than a thousand meters.”
“Furthermore, the mountain path is especially rugged. This path down the mountain was dug out by the Snow Mountain Clan after spending several generations.”
“If we choose to go down the mountain path, it will take at least a day to slowly circle down the mountain.”
“If it snows, it might be longer.”
“But flying down from here is different. It won’t be long before we can glide to the prairie.”
“But even so, only the warriors of the clan can descend the mountain in this way.”
At this point, the Ghost Girl glanced at the teleportation array platform behind her.
“There was no such array here before. This place was purely used to make people jump down the mountain previously.”
Upon hearing Ghost Girl’s explanation, the few of them returned to the high platform to take a look.
They realized that this array seemed to be the same as the one on the gra.s.sland. It was not engraved.
Instead, it was made by placing various items.
In other words, this thing might have been created by that priest.
