Chapter 338: Deep Dangerous Land
Chen Hao was flying in mid-air, and the terrain of the mountains below was fully visible. He tried his best to see all the terrain and greet the people below to avoid falling into the ice cracks in the ice cave.
Many terrain looks flat, covered with thick snow, and there are unfathomable ice caves underneath. It is basically a bad luck to go down one foot.
Because we had to avoid the ice cave along the way, everyone was walking very slowly. After walking for a full day, they only advanced more than ten kilometers.
It is gratifying that they did not encounter any danger along the way, and there were no casualties. Because Chen Hao led the way, everyone avoided one dangerous place after another.
At this time, night fell, and everyone found a snow slope with leewards and set up camp.
The snow slope is relatively flat and leeward, making it an excellent place to rest. Everyone opened their tents and sat around the campfire to have dinner and chat.
Because they were worried that the sound would be too loud, they tried their best to control their voices when they spoke.
Chen Hao took out the map to compare his current location. Now they are in Gazebuqing, and they will walk for another two days before they can enter the hinterland of the glacier.
Gazebuqing has a wide range, with many gullies and ice cracks around it, making it a very dangerous wasteland. Many poachers and adventurers will deliberately avoid this place and instead detour from a safe area to enter the hinterland of the glacier.
This way, although the safety factor has been greatly improved, it will take a lot of time. It is precisely because of this that Chen Hao decided to enter the heart of the glacier from Gazebuqing directly, because he could perfectly avoid those dangerous areas and save a lot of time.
The only problem he faces now is a deep canyon trench across the mountains, which is a dangerous place with one line of sky. The entire mountain range is divided into two. If you want to enter the hinterland of the glacier from Gazebuqing, you must pass this natural danger.
According to locals, this deep ditch is called the "Bone Hidden Groove". It is full of animal corpses. It is not clear whether there are human bones.
The reason why it is named such a strange name is that this deep ditch is a place for suicide and gatherings for various local animals. Every year, a large number of Tibetan horse bears, yellow sheep, bison and other animals jumped down from the top of the cliff and committed suicide.
As for why the animals chose to commit suicide collectively here, it is still an unsolved mystery, and even the herders with the longest beard in the local area are not clear.
There are many porters in the team who are local Tibetans. Everyone has learned a lot of clues from them. To pass through this hidden bone groove, it must be during the day because those animals choose to commit suicide at night.
It was a very strange place. Even the brave local Tibetans would not dare to pass by anywhere at night, because at night there would be ghost fires floating in the entire hidden bone groove, which was extremely terrifying.
As the original party, Chen Hao naturally knew what was going on in the strange situation of the bone gutter, so he was very determined to pass by it.
Local Tibetans are superstitious and lack of cognition. The collective suicide of animals is actually caused by wolves, not because they are summoned by some demons.
The countless ghost fires float because there are too many animal corpses piled up inside. The corpses will evaporate phosphorus in their corruption, so a large amount of ghost fire will be generated.
After passing through the Tibetan Bone Sulcus, you enter the heart of the glacier, which is a place named "Kalamir". In Tibetan, it means the ocean of disaster. It takes 5-6 days to get there.
After discussing the route, everyone returned to their tents to rest. Several fires rose in the camp, leaving only one or two people to avoid being attacked by wolves.
After not resting for several days, even Chen Hao couldn't help but be exhausted and fell asleep in less than 10 minutes after lying in his sleeping bag.
No words all night.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone packed their equipment and continued to move forward. After walking for about 4 hours, they arrived at the legendary Bone Slot.
When they came here, the altitude sickness became even worse. Han Shuna, A Xiang, Uncle Ming and others, and several people with weak constitutions had difficulty breathing and were weak all over.
Seeing this, Chen Hao had to let the fat man carry Uncle Ming on his back, and he carried Han Shuna on his back, and Hu Bayi carried A Xiang on his back, so as not to delay their trip.
When you enter the bone sulcus, you can see a large number of animal corpses at the entrance, but most of these corpses have turned into white bones. It can be seen that it has been a long time, which means that there have been no collective suicides here for at least decades.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw this. After all, those strange situations have not happened for decades. They could not be so unlucky, just happened to encounter them.
The first-line sky-cang bone groove is more than 10 kilometers in length, and it will take at least one or two hours to pass through it.
Chen Hao was responsible for leading the way in front, and only the wind was whistling in his ears, and gravel fell from time to time on his head. Everyone had to use a backpack or an iron pot to block their heads. Fortunately, there were no large stones, otherwise they would have to withdraw.
The road ahead was quite smooth. Everyone walked forward several kilometers on countless bones and gravels. Although it was a bit bumpy, they did not encounter any danger.
There were unexpected storms in the sky. At this moment, the weather, which was originally blue and white, suddenly changed the sky. In an instant, dark clouds were covered with lightning and thunder, and it started to rain heavily in an instant.
Everyone was in the sulcus of hiding the bones and was in a dilemma. Many people were so scared that their faces were pale and began to pray for the Bodhisattva's blessing. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Seeing this, Chen Hao had to find a relatively wide place to stop everyone from being frightened by horses and yaks, which made the scene even more chaotic.
Everyone opened the tarp and blocked the heads to block the downpour of rain. Being wet in such a plateau area is extremely prone to life-threatening danger.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
In the chaos, I suddenly heard the sound of wolf howlings coming from time to time in the distance.
Looking around, they could not see the shadow of the wolf pack. Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, confused, and didn't understand what was going on.
Chen Hao's face turned pale in an instant. He knew that this was a signal of the wolf hunting. After the wolf king issued an order, the wolf pack would attack the animals.
Although the target is not them, but groups of plateau animals, those animals will definitely fall from the top of the cliff after being driven and frightened by the wolves, and the scene will be out of control.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao shouted loudly: "Go away, the wolves are hunting. This hidden bone groove is their hunting trap. Let's leave here quickly!"
Some people had not understood what Chen Hao said. Hu Bayi, Fatty, Xueli and others cooperated with Chen Hao. When they saw his expression, they immediately realized that something was wrong. Without saying a word, they quickly drove the oyster cows and horses sitting down to rush forward.
