Section 218
If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss!
Three steps.
Each step is extremely dangerous!
Every moment is between life and death!
Chapter 191 The Road to Heaven on Earth, the First Step! (Please subscribe,

The three steep steps, like a dead end connecting the world and heaven, have appeared in the eyes of millions of viewers one after another.
Dangerous peaks stand tall and closely overlap.
Thousands of ravines and gullies, frost and snow are difficult to fill.
Every detail between the beginning and the end makes people's hair stand on end!
Super high altitude, huge drop, harsh climbing conditions...
These many difficulties combined make it hard to imagine how climbers can conquer this dangerous natural chasm that separates the way to the summit.
In the dim morning light, the thin clouds are pale.
In the live broadcast room, Lu Yu's voice-over came quietly: "In many geographical documents about Mount Everest, the three steps at the top of Mount Everest have been described in detail."
"The so-called three steps are the three steep cliffs with huge drops connecting the top of Mount Everest above 8,300 meters on the north slope of Mount Everest. Many geographers call them "insurmountable natural dangers."
"The three steps are in the middle, like a plank road to the sky, standing in front of you. Only those who have crossed it can reach the top of the world..."
As soon as the voice fell.
The camera of the drone turned back to the front.
It shot the huge rock wall that cut across the first step at an altitude of more than 8,500 meters and the second step from multiple angles!
There are slight gullies on the rock wall, and little snow.
The road when cutting across is only one foot wide.
You need to turn sideways and walk over it.
Its dangerousness is not much different from the long sky plank road in Huashan.
The only difference is that the valley below has risen from a few hundred meters to 8,000 meters.
Separated by a sea of clouds.
You can't see the bottom at a glance.
Crossing in such a place, even with a rope, it is nothing more than a little psychological comfort. Once you fall, the possibility of survival is very small.
Bang!
The ice spike hits an ice layer under your feet, with an eight-shaped ring tied to it, connected to the climbing rope.
The other end is tied around Lu Yu's waist.
While tying the knot, he said slowly: "I need to use the climbing rope to protect myself on the road that crosses the second level, so that I can have enough reaction time when I fall."
"However, even with protective measures, the consequences of failure are unimaginable. Because even if it can hold me, the surrounding rock walls will definitely make me fall in the process of falling."
"Be sure to be extremely careful, no matter what happens, don't distract your attention."
"Because this is the last difficulty before reaching the summit..."
As he said, Lu Yu stood up, walked to the front of the rock wall, and took a long breath.
Looking at the cliffs in front of him, he overcame the lack of oxygen at high altitude and took several deep breaths with all his strength.
At the same time, he tried to concentrate his thoughts, trying to keep his mind clear and face this first "ladder to the sky" in the best mental state.
In the live broadcast room.
The audience was also hanging by a thread at this moment, extremely nervous.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for Lu Yu to take the first step to the summit.
For a moment, the air in front of the screen seemed to freeze.
"Fuck! So nervous!"
"Just do it, Oli Ge!"
"Real Tianlu!"
"My palms are sweating like crazy!"
"Masters are among the common people, and failures are in the underworld, anchor, be careful!"
"Teemo stewed mushrooms give the anchor energy drink × 1! -- God Yu, drink a bottle of Red Bull to calm down!"
"The king of rolling keyboards gives the anchor super rocket × 1! -- This is the first time to watch live broadcasts and send gifts, anchor, come on!"
"Mother-in-law, please ship it quickly, give the anchor rocket × 99! -- It's the first time to send gifts, it took a long time to get it done, anchor, you must come back alive!"
Driven by several water friends, the live broadcast screen was full of the word "come on", which was very spectacular.
The next second, Lu Yu gestured OK to the drone, held the climbing rope tightly with both hands, and then raised his left foot and stepped on a gully on the rock wall.
At the same time, the mountaineering pick in his right hand also found the right time to split into a crack in the rock.
After the two points were completely stable, the entire center of gravity was moved horizontally to the first step of more than 8,500 meters.
In the morning light, the "ladder to heaven" suspended in the flowing clouds was rough.
The vast sky was so deep that it moved people.
The tempting heaven was so close!
People also began to become smaller and smaller.
The foothold of the rock wall could only accommodate a pair of feet standing in sequence.
Lu Yu's body could only cling tightly to the cold rock surface and slowly move to the side, taking every step with great caution.
"Hu——!"
The white breath exhaled from the mouth was reflected back from the bitter rock, which was so cold that it made people extremely uncomfortable.
Look down.
The plateau snow-capped mountains looming in the sea of clouds constantly remind climbers that danger can come at any time...
Everything that happened in front of them made many viewers in front of the screen stunned, and they all marveled at the absolute danger of this natural moat!
There is no doubt.
If there is a ladder to heaven, it must be these three steps of Mount Everest!
Even if all the steep cliffs and dangerous mountains in the world are added together, they may not be half as steep as this one!
"Trembling!"
"Li Shizhen is awesome!"
"Yu Shen's life is worth it. He has seen beautiful scenery that ordinary people can never see in their lifetime!"
"The scenery is really invincible. There is no one who can beat it!"
"My body is involuntarily moving away from the screen!"
...
The lonely back in a down jacket, hanging on the cliff, slowly moving forward step by step.
When the wind blows, the rope around the waist will sway gently, making it impossible for people to completely calm down.
During the journey, Lu Yu did not dare to relax for a moment.
Every step he took would take two or three minutes to test to ensure that the center of gravity was not biased.
However, because the rock wall was frozen, the hiking shoes could hardly be completely tightened.
In most cases, it is still necessary to use the power of the ice pick to proceed to the next step.
Carefully and with difficulty all the way, after walking for about twenty minutes, the situation of the rock finally changed.
The huge and abrupt rock changed its previous direction and rose suddenly.
It formed a slowly upward rock slope in a zigzag manner.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu was inspired, and he quickly swung his ice pick and chopped into a rock crack above his head.
Then, he spread his legs to support his lower body stably, and began to climb upwards.
To be honest, this section of the road was more difficult than before.
Because there was no ascender, the upward power almost all came from the ice pick and arms!
Over time, his arms were sore and unbearable, and he had completely lost his sense of proportion.
Both the strength and angle were greatly affected.
In the case of poor breathing conditions, doing this kind of open and close rock climbing action is definitely a great challenge to one's physical strength.
Over time, the body's emergency mechanism will cause blood vessels to contract sharply, causing irreversible damage to the brain.
Through the live broadcast camera, the audience also clearly felt this change, and they were no longer worried about Lu Yu all the time.
"Come on, Master Yu!"
"Hurry up and have a bottle of Red Bull to calm your nerves!"
"It's already awesome!"
"I think I might die if I go up!"
"Wake up upstairs, you'll be dead before you even get up there!"
In order to avoid over-consumption of muscles, Lu Yu decided to make some adjustments at 8,600 meters near the second step to control the rhythm.
Under any circumstances, the rhythm of climbing should not be messed up.
Otherwise, the effort will definitely fail.
