Vol 2 Chapter 13: Life or death matters

Eudemons trial is an extremely painful process.
Moreover, under the double pressure of heavy snow and hypoxia, 10% to 20% of Eudemons Knights cannot complete the task every year. The main performance is that Eudemons are frozen to death on the mountain.
Of course, there are also some Eudemons knights who were also frozen to death on the mountain.
－－Chapter 13 of Eudemons Knight Trial: Life and Death Matter After the next day on the road, Xiao Hei is indeed more honest, basically no longer naughty, and climbed the mountain behind Chi Aotian.
Looking at the little black eyes full of uncomfortable tears, listening to its gasping, Chi Aotian was very worried. According to the instructions for Eudemons, many Eudemons came from the tropics or the plains and suddenly came to an altitude of more than 3000 meters Plateau, and the temperature is more than 10 ℃ lower than the environment in which they live. By the end of the snow mountain, the temperature was at minus 20 ℃, coupled with the lack of oxygen on the plateau, this almost became the first killer in the Eudemons trial. .
Of course, this is nothing to the Eudemons Knights. In order to allow the Knights to pass the Eudemons trials better, all the knights who have the opportunity to be sent will be sent over the mountains of the northern empire every year to exercise. The average altitude there Above 4000 meters, it is snowy all year round.
It stands to reason that the earth dragon lives in temperate hills, there are four seasons in a year, and the average altitude is also more than 1000 meters. There should not be such a big reaction.
Chi Aotian untied his waistband and put a loop around it, putting a little black neck on one side, and straddling his shoulder on the other side, so that he could pull it in a difficult place.
Without Xiaohei running around, the itinerary was much faster. At 3:00 pm the next day, they arrived at the second campsite. The sun hung high on the west sky, and the golden sunlight swayed on the snow line not far away. Above the snow line, the white ice and snow reflected the dazzling sunlight. Looking up, some ice walls were covered with huge ice cones. You can hear the wind whizzing past the distant valley.
After a tired day, Xiaohei's appetite improved and he ate a lot of meat. Chi Aotian was slightly relieved.
On the third morning, the situation of Xiaohei was still the same. Looking at the snow and ice in the mountains, Chi Aotian was very worried and found all the cold-proof clothing prepared for the Eudemons found in the camp. There is a leather hat with only eyes exposed on the head, a thick animal skin scarf tied around the neck, and a special leather armor winter coat specially tailored for the ground dragon is also put on the body, and finally a leather blanket is torn apart , Wrapped in little black legs.
Although I was worried about Xiaohei ’s body, after putting brown eyes on Xiaohei, both Xiaohei and Chi Aotian felt funny. This is a majestic dragon, a little old man with a hunchback hat .
The fully armed Xiaohei was obviously better, and the pace was not so swaying.
Just entered the snow line, although it is white, but the snow here is mainly the snow covered last year and the frost after the cold dew condensation in autumn, so although the footsteps step on to make a clicking sound, it basically does not affect the speed of progress. According to the Eudemons Instructions, after entering the snow line, the daily journey will be much slower, probably only about 2/3 of the original, when the last day needs to climb, it is only about 1/3 of the usual journey, Chi Aotian also Deliberately slowed down. It might be really cold. Xiaohe sneezed a lot along the way.
After entering the snow line, the campsite can no longer provide much firewood. At night, in a sheltered place, Chi Aotian used a limited amount of firewood to start a small campfire. The meat was roasted and cooked for Xiaohei. When sleeping at night, Xiaohe shrunk tiredly and drilled into Chi Aotian's quilt. He was still fighting the cold war.
Chi Aotian didn't sleep well one night, and he always got up to touch Xiaohei's body to see if it was normal.
On the fourth day, when Chi Aotian got up in the morning, he was immediately startled. Little black eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, his nose was covered with mucous membranes, and his tongue was covered with white tongue fur, and his head was pulled down, This ... is this the little dragon with the power of a king? Chi Aotian's brows were crumpled, and he was very heartbroken. He carefully turned over the objects in the campsite, found some medicine for humans, and pressed it on Xiaohei's head, forcibly infused it, and Xiaoheilian struggled. The energy is gone.
What should we do now? If you continue to move forward, I do n’t know if Xiaohei ’s body can hold up. If he retreats, no matter for himself or Xiaohei, this time there is no chance, and even after two days of retreat, since there is no mount, I want to return to the nearest barracks. It takes at least four days to walk, and then to go forward, it takes only 7 days to reach the Eudemons Holy Garden.
Chi Aotian bit his lip tightly, let ’s go forward, as long as he can bring Xiaohei into the Eudemons Holy Garden, where the blood pool can heal all the injuries suffered by Eudemons.
The cold wind began to blow, whining and weeping in the mountains, gray sky, snow-white mountains, a boy with black stiff clothes and a black earth-wrought dragon wrapped in leather, struggling to advance in the snow With.
The wind is getting bigger and bigger, Chi Aotian walks carefully in front of Xiaohei, trying to help it to block some wind like a knife. Little Black crawled strenuously, panting gaspingly in his mouth, and sobbing from time to time.
In order to encourage the little guy's confidence to continue walking, Chi Aotian suddenly changed his words, he shouted loudly in the wind while touching his head with his hand, and the fierce wind brought his voice towards Quartet.
"Xiaohei, don't worry, today we only need to walk half the way yesterday."
"Xiaohei, after hearing about Eudemons Holy Garden, there will be a lot of fun Eudemons, you might see beautiful Eudemons sisters."
"Hi, it's almost time, have you seen it? This road sign says, we are only 2 miles away from the campsite. When we arrive, I will roast delicious meat for you."
Under the pull of Chi Aotian, Xiaohe finally arrived at the camp on the fourth day. Chi Aotian tried his best to make some simple food, but ... Xiaohei didn't want to eat anything, just drank some hot soup.
The fifth day was the most painful day for all Eudemons knights in the trial. It is said that 80% of the failures were on this day. When I woke up in the morning, there was no sunlight at all, and the black clouds seemed to be pressed It ’s like the sky, you do n’t need to look up. You feel that the clouds are floating above your ears and ears. The snow is screaming with the cold wind. Snow is not flying at all, but it is projected like a javelin on the ground and human body. , I ca n’t tell the world at all, and I do n’t even know the northeast, southeast, and southeast.
When Chi Aotian returned to the tent and pushed Xiaohei, Heihe hummed twice, motionless, and pushed it again, it lifted his head hard, struggling to get up, but immediately fell again, his eyes There was no bright and clear gaze anymore, a layer of dark yellow mucous membrane covered the entire eye, and large eyes were condensed in the corners of the eyes, and the snot continued to flow out.
Chi Aotian made a big bowl of hot broth with the last point of firewood, and completely poured it into his belly despite Xiaohe's struggle. Then cut the entire leather tent into leather strips, several leather strips into a thicker one, then three thick leather strips into a triangle ring, put it from the little black tail, and the two corners between its legs Pulled up, the last horn pulled up from behind it and turned into a pocket for carrying people. He squatted slowly, first strapped the leather straps pulled up from the middle of his feet firmly around his waist, halved the straps pulled up from the back, and pulled the straps from his shoulders and tied the leather straps around his waist Together.
Chi Aotian took a deep breath, holding an ice stick with one hand and holding his leg with the other hand. He stood up strenuously, and the weight of more than 200 pounds of the dragon was immediately placed on his shoulder. With your waist up, follow the road signs to start.
If it is on a flat ground, with Chi Aotian's physical strength and usual training, it is very common to advance with a load of 200 pounds, 10 miles and 20 miles is common, but now it is a plateau, the air is thin, and the lungs are like every time you breathe To be torn apart, under the tremendous gravity, Chi Hanfeng had to lower his noble head, blood rushed from the spine to his head, his face turning from blood red to iron blue.
The wind shouted ragingly, and the snowflake-like knife went around Chi Aotian, who was advancing hard. The cold was not only scraped through the gap in the clothes, but also poured into the pants from under the feet. Walking is even more difficult. Snow, the calf is gone, the pants are covered with ice stubble, and the taller one is shallower and moves slowly in the wind and snow.
Suddenly, there was a corpse of a Eudemons that had been dead for a long time, as if it was some kind of deer. Chi Aotian was shocked, rubbing the sweat beads that had frozen on his face and then moved on. Without walking a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared behind a huge ice wall. After two more steps, it became clear that he was a frozen Eudemons knight frozen by snow and ice. The Eudemons, like rhinos produced in the tropics, appear to be the victims of avalanches.
Everything in front of us shows that if you are a little careless, you are likely to become a historical relic. Chi Aotian bit his lip tightly and explored the road more carefully with an ice stick, slowly and carefully moving forward.
The road suddenly gathered in front, and the two peaks sandwiched a small and slender valley, only two people wide. The raging snowstorm was forced by the valley into the gap of the gorge, and the valley was constantly pounded. Chi Aotian held his hand. The ice wall moved forward little by little, and the violent wind hit him like an iron cone, forcing him to retreat continuously, and finally, he had to kneel on the ground and walk forward.
Out of the gap, Chi Aotian was almost desperate. He had thought that it was already on the top of the mountain, but now when he looked up again, he realized that there was still a hill in front and a peak. At this time, his legs were almost numb, his palms were also scratched by the ice blade during the previous travel, the blood was frozen as soon as he flowed out, his hands were very swollen, his face felt like a knife cutting the skin, and his ears were almost It was frozen. How can such physical strength climb over the 200-meter-high snow peak?
The sky is getting darker and darker, and there is no reliable timing tool-the sand in the sand bucket timer that I carry with me has been frozen on the crystal wall because of the water vapor. It has been unusable since yesterday. I do n’t know if it ’s getting darker or darker. The roadside sign reads: 1000 meters from the next campsite, it should be 1:00 pm now. Unfortunately, this time has no reference value.
A few pieces of beef jerky were drawn from his arms and stuffed into his mouth, and a mass of snow stubble was picked up from the ground and stuffed into his mouth. "His--" It's so cold, the teeth can't bear it anymore, the snow melts slowly in the mouth, chewing the beef jerky with the snow water, UU reading www.uukanshu.com chews up, spit in the hand, back The hand pulled Xiao Hei's head over, riding the hot stuffing of minced beef into its mouth, Xiao He stretched out his neck and swallowed the beef.
The beef juice flowed into Chi Aotian's stomach along the esophagus, and the stomach that had not eaten for a day started to roll, as if the knife had hung over. However, after touching the pieces of meat in my arms, it is really not much. If you can't find the campsite at night, then ... save some. At this moment, he regretted that he should tear the dead Eudemons apart.
The sky on the snow peak, because the sun will soon enter the embrace of the mountains once the west slope, so the night came extremely quickly. Just after Chi Aotian felt the sky became gloomy, the night fell without taking a few steps. It is estimated that it may be only a few hundred meters away from the campsite. Chi Aotian knew that if he could not reach the campsite tonight, then he and Xiaohe could not get there either in this life or this life.
Perhaps ... Now put Xiaohei down, and have a chance to walk over by yourself.
Every year there are several knights who have to give up the trial because of the bad weather, throw the dead Eudemons on the snowy mountains, and go back by themselves. If there is a year, all Eudemons Knights have completed the trial, but it is big news.
Do you have to do the same?
However, if you don't do this, you and I must be very difficult to pass this level. In the ice and snow, there is no food and no calories. The one in front of you is a dead end.
Moreover, with Xiaohei ’s current body, even if he can reach the campsite today, or even if he can pass today, the chance to reach the Eudemons Sacred Garden alive is extremely slim, so in this case, it may be his best to put it down. select. Where there is life, there is hope.
Health? Still dead? Chi Aotian raised his head, looking at the black night sky with his eyes confused, and his heart began to shake.
