Chapter 216 Human Village
On the towering and deadly snowy mountain, a figure walked with a gun. The red oil lamp swayed in the snowy white mountains, emitting the only heat source in the snowy mountains. A safe space was opened up in the dangerous and deadly snowy mountains.
Li Yelai performed air steps and quickly fell from the slope of the snowy mountain.
After all, it was the Snowy Mountain. Even with the taboo of the Fiery Oil Lamp, Li Yelai felt thrilling. If you are not careful, the psychic barrier will be frozen, and then thawed or even ignited by the oil lamp.
The lower layer of the Snowy Mountain is enough to make Li Yelai, a four-aware psychic, feel terrible. I really don’t know what kind of horrible situation he will encounter if he is on the top of the mountain?
As the decisive battle place between the strongest human beings and the forbidden area, there are too many mysteries there. But in the end, it added a natural barrier to the Heavenly Kingdom.
"It's really a natural line of defense." Li Yelai complained, but he was also a little envious.
If the giant city also has the protection of the special Jedi like the Great Snow Mountain, the restricted area army is estimated to be difficult to attack, and no matter how many come, they will become ice sculptures.
Unfortunately, Li Yelai currently has no ability to take away these dangerous and special snowflakes, and there is no need.
The coldness contained in the snowflakes is very terrifying, but after leaving the Great Snow Mountain for a period of time, the coldness dissipates and the snowflakes are no different.
Otherwise, the official and the restricted area would have used this extremely cold snowflake to fight.
However, if Li Yelai is promoted to the second ring in the Ark, he may try to take away and save these snowflakes using the authority of the Ark. Use them as a trump card when you encounter them.
"The biggest secret is still at the top of the mountain." Li Yelai thought to himself, and he had already landed at the bottom of the snow mountain valley.
Then, he controlled the spiritual power to reduce the firepower of the oil lamp a little. After all, it is a taboo, and there are still some risks in using it. If the firepower is too strong, Li Yelai will spontaneously combust, and if the firepower is too low, he will be frozen to death by the snow mountain. Li Yelai can only control the balance of firepower while lowering himself as much as possible.
After Li Yelai entered a valley in the Great Snow Mountain, he leaned on his gun and took out a path-finding compass from his arms. The needle pointed to a certain direction of the Great Snow Mountain.
Li Yelai identified the direction and found that it was on his way.
Before, Li Yelai and the Little Mad King had used the path-finding compass to locate life substances, and its location was in the Great Snow Mountain.
Now, Li Yelai just needed to hold the taboo fire oil lamp and cross the Great Snow Mountain.
Then he could try to find the unknown life substance in the Great Snow Mountain.
If the life substance could be found directly, everyone would be happy.
The greatest pressure on the giant city was because the old Mad King, the strongest combat power and leader, had run out of oil.
As a psychic king, he should have a long lifespan. At least humans have never heard of a king who died of old age. Even the Supreme or Overlord who died of old age has never been heard of. Their lifespans are long.
Because the curse of the old mad king consumes life, every time he uses his ability, a large amount of life will be consumed. Years of fighting have almost burned out his long life and he is almost dead.
According to the internal information revealed by the little mad king, the old mad king has at most two years left.
After two years, mankind will lose a powerful king, and the situation will deteriorate completely.
If powerful life substances can be obtained to extend the life of the old mad king. Then the pressure on mankind will be greatly reduced.
If it is impossible to find it directly, at least Li Yelai can determine the approximate direction and range. The official will naturally think of a way after returning.
As long as the old mad king does not fall, mankind still has time to grow.
Li Yelai thought in his heart and moved forward in the direction of the pointer along the lowest point of the valley.
The Great Snow Mountain is a real life forbidden zone. Both the giant city and the forbidden zone want to explore the Great Snow Mountain. After all, the Great Snow Mountain was once the battlefield where humans and the forbidden zone fought a decisive battle. There may be some very powerful weapons or some taboos.
But no matter how strong or weak the explorer is, he will never return. Those who come back will also gain nothing.
The official reason for speculating that the fire oil lamp in Li Yelai's hand can be used at an altitude of less than 500 meters is the data obtained in the attempt.
So much so that when Li Yelai walked through a valley, he could not see any living creatures except the white snow-capped mountains and the occasionally exposed mountain bodies. There was no vegetation, no flying birds, only the cold wind that blew from time to time.
It fits the description of "no birds flying in the thousands of mountains, no traces of people in the thousands of paths".
Fortunately, the official prepared a pair of sunglasses for him, otherwise he would get snow blindness sooner or later.
Li Yelai walked alone in the lonely valley for five hours, and changed a bottle of rock marrow fuel, but he came to a dead end.
It is not accurate to say that it is a dead end. It should be said that he has reached the junction of two mountain ranges. If he continues to follow the pointer, he will be blocked by the hundreds of meters high mountain range.
Li Yelai frowned and looked at the high mountains. It is not difficult for a psychic to cross the mountains. He just needs to step hard in the air. Except for those with acrophobia, most psychics can fly over the mountains relatively easily.
But in this strange snowy mountain, it is indeed dangerous to rise rashly.
The higher you go in the snowy mountain, the lower the temperature. Even a strong overlord can be frozen to death.
Therefore, Li Yelai did not try to cross the mountain range, but continued to follow the valley under the mountain range and began to detour. And look for lower mountains to cross.
However, after walking in this valley for another hour or so, Li Yelai finally saw something special.
It was not vegetation or living things, but some discarded equipment. The most conspicuous of them was some kind of orange-red object.
Li Yelai took a gun and a lamp and walked closer to see that it was a large orange backpack.
The backpack seemed to be cut open by some sharp blade, and the items inside were scattered all over the ground. Mountaineering picks, sleeping bags, hunting knives, some large-caliber ammunition, and some food. These were all buried in the not-so-thick snow.
"Human psychic who entered the snow mountain?" Li Yelai frowned. It was really hard to judge what kind of force the other party belonged to just by looking at these supplies. But it was certain that they were human.
Whether it was the creatures of Black Source City or Heaven, they all had their own unique techniques, which were easy to distinguish.
However, what really concerned Li Yelai was the bloodstains on the backpack.
What? Was this human psychic attacked?
There were no living things in the Great Snow Mountain, and even extraordinary creatures would not come here to move around.
Did they form a team to enter the Great Snow Mountain and then attack each other?
Or did they meet the enemy by coincidence? That was too coincidental and unlikely.
Li Yelai looked at the scattered objects and speculated that he should have been attacked at a high altitude, causing the backpack to fall.
Afterwards, Li Yelai checked the surroundings again and turned over the snow, but did not find the body.
It was a pity that the detective was not there, otherwise, with his spiritual eyes, he could see a lot of details, and even see what happened directly.
Under what circumstances would the psychics who entered the Great Snow Mountain attack each other?
Did they find something good, and then they had an internal conflict due to uneven distribution of the spoils?
This is a bit like wild psychics, or scavengers. However, it is not clear how they resist this extreme cold.
"Did they fall down when they were chased up there?" Li Yelai thought, looking up at the height of the hillside above, which should be about the same height as the cave exit. Then he performed air steps and approached little by little.
As the height rose, the surrounding coldness became more and more intense. Li Yelai urged the blazing oil lamp to dispel the cold.
Fortunately, when approaching the hillside, the oil lamp still had some power left, which meant that there was still a little distance to the limit.
After Li Yelai successfully climbed the hillside, he did not see any bodies. So, he did not stay, but injected new rock marrow fuel and continued to move forward along the pointer.
Before the sky gradually darkened, Li Yelai fell to the bottom of the new valley and found a pit in it where he could live.
Li Yelai ate a few pieces of dried meat in the pit, put the oil lamp aside and began to close his eyes to rest.
However, just an hour after he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
‘.起’
The sound appeared very abruptly, as if it came from his ear. Li Yelai only felt the hair on his body stand up. He grabbed the black gold dragon pattern gun and looked around vigilantly. But he did not find any figure.
“Is it the remnant again?” Li Yelai frowned. He was not afraid of any ghosts. Even if there were ghosts, they would be frozen to death in the snowy mountains. This is an extremely cold place where even spiritual energy can be frozen.
This sound should be the remnant in the snowy mountains. It is said that the voices of the strong men who died in the snowy mountains were also frozen and occasionally echoed in the wind and snow.
It was quite scary.
And Li Yelai had difficulty falling asleep after being awakened. Then he set off again.
With his physical strength, he didn't need to rest for too long.
Two hours after setting off again, Li Yelai found that the needle of the path-finding compass had a very obvious deviation.
Li Yelai's heart moved, and after continuing to move along the valley, he found that the change of the needle was getting bigger and bigger.
This made him a little happy, and he knew that he was close to the target point. He immediately found a shorter hillside and jumped up using the air step. Continue to move in the direction of the pointer and cross two valleys in succession.
When the sky brightened, Li Yelai could roughly determine the location of the target.
"Very good, if my sense of direction is correct, that location is not far from the border of the Great Snow Mountain, at most three hours away." Li Yelai said to himself. His sense of direction is indeed very good. After all, he has the sense of direction brought by Huo Qubing's facial makeup.
However, when approaching the destination, Li Yelai saw a corpse under the new valley.
It was the corpse of a woman about 30 years old, and her death was extremely miserable.
Obviously, she was frozen in mid-air, and then fell into the valley, causing her body to break into two pieces.
Moreover, strangely, there was a smile on her fallen head. She was wearing a relatively thin outfit, and the tendons of her legs were cut. Even more strange, her abdomen was still bulging.
Is she a pregnant woman?
Li Yelai frowned. Why would a pregnant woman with her tendons cut come to the Snow Mountain?
What is this strange thing? Someone brought a pregnant woman into the snow mountain?
Could it be some evil ritual?
Li Yelai thought about it, and went forward to collect the woman's body and burn it. He couldn't bear to see such a miserable situation.
However, when he got closer, he found that the woman's bulging belly had cracked, and a slender palm covered with blood stretched out from it, but was frozen inside forever.
This made Li Yelai feel a chill, because the palm was deformed and withered, and it was definitely not a human baby!
"Is it really an evil ritual? The thing that was to be born from her belly was directly frozen. It died in the womb. Damn, this makes me, a part-time Chaos God Chosen, feel sick." After hesitating for a moment, Li Yelai collected the woman's body and lit it with a blazing oil lamp.
We are all human beings, so let's send her off.
However, in the raging fire, a voice was heard.
‘Finally. I can die.’
It was obviously a woman’s voice, perhaps the sound before death turned into a reverberation, Li Yelai actually heard a trace of relief from it.
Relief? Could it be that she committed suicide?
Li Yelai frowned, and the strange situation made him more cautious.
Then, he continued to approach the direction of the pointer.
When he crossed a hillside again, he determined the target.
Li Yelai moved back and forth on the hillside and found that the pointer pointed to a towering snow mountain about five kilometers away.
“Is it there? It’s not far, I hope the height doesn’t exceed the limit.” Li Yelai thought.
Then, he climbed over the hillside and fell into the valley, and began to approach the peak.
However, when Li Yelai advanced about one kilometer in the valley, he felt the temperature around him began to rise, and Li Yelai even felt a warmth.
At first, Li Yelai didn’t care, after all, the terrain in the valley was lower and the temperature would be higher, which was why Li Yelai chose to walk at the bottom of the valley.
However, after turning around the foot of a mountain, Li Yelai was startled.
Because, in front of him, there was a densely planted jungle, and Li Yelai even saw a stream.
"Have I left the Great Snow Mountain?" Li Yelai was really a little surprised, and he immediately looked into the distance.
If it weren't for the snow-capped mountain peaks still standing in front of him, Li Yelai would have thought that he had left the extremely cold mountains.
"Still in the Great Snow Mountain, the temperature here is very high, is it because the terrain is low enough?"
This is a huge discovery.
The authorities can set up a base here, and the restricted area will be difficult to detect in the valley surrounded by the deadly snow-capped mountains!
But why is there such a place?
There seems to be no essential difference in the height of the terrain from other valleys.
Li Yelai thought in his heart, thinking of the woman's body he saw before, Li Yelai still carefully entered the jungle.
He found that the vegetation here was ordinary, but there was some heat on the ground.
Geothermal? Is it because of this heat that this valley was created?
Li Yelai thought in his heart and continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, he passed through the jungle and was shocked to see farmland and houses in the distance.
It was a village located at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
There were farmland, fruit trees, houses, and children running in the fields.
There was a human village inside the snow-capped mountains?
