Chapter 679: Over snowy mountains

, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the mysterious world under steampunk!
Caravan Superintendent Gu Sang took command, sorted out the cargo in the camp and carried it to the cart, and then looked at the sun that was about to rise above his head. He couldn't help but cursed, and also felt a little puzzled.
Today, the caravan people got up very late. It was supposed to be called by the vigil guards in the early morning, but the sun rose very high. The talents in the caravan woke up one after another and missed the most over the Quincy Snow Mountain. good time.
If they continue to depart, then they may have to go over the mountain overnight, the danger level is far more than that during the day.
In addition to such a big thing, the principals of the caravan, big and small, naturally have to be held accountable.
Afterwards, the people were asked to know that the guards who were supposed to be on night were all asleep, that is to say, their caravan camp was in a completely undefended state last night.
After learning of this incident, everyone felt terrified, fortunately did not encounter any robbers, robbers or the like, otherwise the entire caravan would be over.
However, although it is known that the responsibility lies with the guards who have night missions, the principals who listened to the guards on the scene did not blame these guards, because they all thought of the legends about the castle at the moment.
Although the caravans seem to be intact now and then, from the night watchman's mouth, they learned that they were all inexplicably sleeping last night, just like the legendary victims of the overnight castle.
So they felt scared one by one in their hearts. Even under the big sun during the day, they still felt that the surroundings seemed very horrible. Almost all the principals said that they did not want to stay here for another night, and proposed to leave immediately, even if they need to turn overnight. mountain.
Seeing this, Gu Sang worried about the dangers of walking on the mountain road at night, but he was also worried about the dangers hidden in the castle. He thought that it was not a place where he could stay for a long time, so he ordered the camp to be lifted and the clothes packed.
Although the caravan had sorted out most of the outfits on the previous day, these sorting methods are aimed at turning the mountains during the day. At night, you cannot use this sorting method. You have to change the way to reduce the risk of turning the mountains. Methods, such as the weight of each pack must be reduced, etc.
It took a lot of time to reorganize the goods, completely pack the car, and when it was ready to go on the road, it was already noon.
The convoy did not stop to eat, but prepared a little dry food, and drove the car directly, crossed the castle road at the end of the square to the other end, and began to formally enter the mountain road of Quincys Snow Mountain. The previous algorithm is the real ancient salt railway here.
The ancient salt railway was originally a mountain road where the people of the Maris Kingdom went to the mountain to hunt, cut wood, and collect medicine. Later, they were discovered by some smugglers in the Maris Kingdom, and they expanded the mountain road, and then A road was dug on this hillside in the Kingdom of Savile, and then there was the ancient salt railway.
At that time, the Weilun World had no sea salt extraction method, all the demand for salt originated from salt mines on several continents, and the top three salt mines in the Weilun World were in the Kingdom of Savile. These salts are also important in the Kingdom of Savile Commodities, and was listed as one of the embargoed goods by the Kingdom.
Similarly, the Kingdom of Marais plays the role of the highest quality iron ore in the entire Velon world. The special ironware they produce can be said to be fine products, and it is also the most popular commodity in the entire Velon world.
Smugglers used this ancient salt railway to transport these two best-selling commodities to the two countries, and obtained huge profits beyond imagination. Some smugglers even became nobles through the huge profits.
Such huge profits naturally attracted the attention of the real nobles of the two countries, and soon decided to take this smuggling business to own.
Although smugglers are not willing to give up such a big benefit, they are powerless in the face of the oppression of the two kingdoms and can only hand over the ancient salt railway.
However, after this, the Kingdom of Savile seems to have been attracted by the civil strife except for some civil strife, and the Kingdom of Maris quickly sent people to the other side of the ancient salt railway to build a strong castle. , Dominated the entire ancient salt railway, and finally after the Kingdom of Savile eased up from the civil strife, it was no longer possible to party, and finally the Kingdom of Savile could only find another business road.
Although at the beginning, the ancient salt railways smuggled by the smugglers on the hillside of the Savile Kingdom were somewhat narrow and rudimentary, but since the Kingdom of Marys built a castle here and stationed troops, it was often necessary to transport military supplies. The salt railway has undergone another major renovation.
In this renovation, the road was not only widened, but they also carefully measured the width of the military packback, and installed two ground rails on the ground to facilitate the climb of the packback.
I saw that the caravan came to the bluestone road going up, skillfully stuck the wheels in the guide rail grooves on both sides of the road, and then drove the car to the top of the mountain.
Because, from time to time, smugglers and other caravans take this road, this ancient salt railway does not know the long and deserted road, except for some places where weeds grow, and there are some gravel falling from the mountain to block In addition, the road conditions are not bad.
However, this relatively good road condition was only maintained halfway up the mountain. After the middle section, most of the previously paved roads have been destroyed, leaving only one gravel mountain road that can allow two vehicles to run side by side. Some broken stones kept falling because of the mountain breeze.
It only took less than two hours from the foot of the mountain to the caravan at the mountainside. From the mountainside, it took less than two kilometers to climb up, and it took almost the same time. According to this climbing speed, it is estimated that Reaching the top of the mountain is probably not possible until late at night.
What's even worse is that it has started to rain and snow, and the ground has become wet and slippery.
For this reason, Gusang had to temporarily stop, cover the wheels with a non-slip leather cover, and then tie up each piggyback with an iron chain. Once a piggyback car slid off the road, these iron chains can also ensure that The car was pulled so as not to slip into the ditch beside the road.
The really bad thing is not the slippery ground. It is because of the strong winds brought by the rain and snow. These strong winds not only make the climbing speed much slower, but also constantly hang down big stones from the slopes. These big stones Falling is often fatal.
The team was also very experienced in dealing with these big rocks. They all set up several iron plates with the same shield on the pack. The caravan and the pack animals were hiding under the iron plate, but there were still people who were too careless. Without catching the cowl, he was blown away from the protection of the iron plate by strong wind, and was hit by falling stones and died on the spot.
Despite the death, the convoy did not stop there. The dead people cut their hair and nails according to the rules of the tribe, wrapped them in paper, and waited for them to return to their families, while the body was thrown on the cliff beside the road under.
Compared to the pack car that was driving hard in front, the pack car at the end of the caravan that did not have any defensive measures seemed rather relaxed.
There seemed to be an invisible force around the pack car. The violent rain and snow became drizzle when it approached, and the gusty wind turned into a breeze. Even the stones falling from the sky will be in Before approaching there, inexplicable change of direction, passing by, will not cause any trouble to the carriage.
The owner of the caravan, Sanz, was initially worried about this danger, but with all kinds of weird things happening around him, he realized in his heart that the person in the tent behind him should be doing it, and the heart he hung up was slightly lowered. .
Some people in the caravan who knew about the wood carving also noticed the situation of the carriage. They also guessed that this strange situation should be caused by the people in the carriage. They were more awed by this and no one dared Get together and chat with each other immediately.
Although Leo sitting in the carriage was not hit by the wind and snow and the surrounding rockfall through the spiritual net and the psionic protector's carriage, his mind was not placed on the protective carriage, but on his back. Changes in patterns.
There is no doubt that the pages of the book from the sigh of the night yesterday brought a great change to the pattern of his back, but the problem is that he can only find changes in the shape of the pattern now, but the changed pattern does not let Any change in his nightmare power did not greatly increase the power of the nightmare, nor did he give him any knowledge related to nightmare power and the sigh of the night god.
"Is it because yesterday's lightning gun was too hard and damaged the pages." Leo couldn't help but wonder, and some speculations also appeared in his mind.
Although it was only a guess, Leo also felt that this guess might be true. After all, the thunder gun last night did not recover at all. The power contained in it was not much worse than the energy main gun on a starship. Although the pages are from the mysterious and powerful singularity of the night sigh, they are only a few pages after all, even if they really contain powerful power, but after so many years, I am afraid there are not many left. It is reasonable for the gun to be able to damage it.
It's just that, even if he is in doubt, Leo has not given up continuing to study the tattoos behind him. Since the pages of the book can still cause changes in the tattoos behind him, it will definitely change his nightmare power. Hidden, it may be that this change is very small, so that he did not find it for the time being.
In this way, Leo stayed quietly in the car, studying his own affairs, and ignored the movements outside.
The caravan was led by an experienced veteran, slowly moving towards the top of the mountain.
As the sky gradually darkened, the torches ignited the torches. I don’t know whether it was because of the proximity to the top of the mountain, or because of other reasons, the surrounding wind and snow were much smaller, and the gravel fell from the beside the road. Significantly reduced, and are all very small gravel, no longer large stones.
However, this does not mean that the road is ready to go. The rain and snow during the day have formed ice on the road at this time. The road is slippery and difficult to walk. A little carelessness will cause the pack car to slide out of the lane.
Fortunately, every time an accident occurs, the veteran of the car can use the brake device on the pack car in time to block the ground and prevent the pack car from sliding further. Then the other pack cars use the connected iron chain to The pack car that slipped out of the driveway was pulled back, which did not cause much damage.
Along the way, the caravan did not show any major losses. When only a pack car slid out of the lane, almost half of the cargo above fell under the roadside cliff because it was not tied securely.
Although the convoy was walking slowly, it was fairly stable, and at midnight it finally came to the top of the Quincy Snow Mountain.
The top part of the ancient salt railway is built along a mountain top glacier, and there are some relatively smooth terrain around it, which can be used for rest.
Although as a caravanserai, it seemed like going on and walking across the mountain road with vigour, but his reason prevented him from doing so.
After a long day of rushing, the convoy was exhausted, and the ancient salt railway on the side of the Maris Kingdom is not like the Savile Kingdom. Most of them are relatively spacious two-lane roads, and most of them are A very narrow lane, driving a pack car requires a more focused spirit to be able to safely walk through this ancient salt railway.
As a result, Gu Sang ordered the team to rest for an hour on the spot, burning some hot water and doing some hot food, eating something, and restoring physical strength and energy.
When the convoy stopped, Leo stepped down from the pack car, left the convoy alone, and walked towards the glacier not far away.
Some of the team’s guards did not know about Leo’s situation. They wanted to prevent Leo from approaching the glacier, but they were stopped by the team’s masters. Although the people of these masters do not know what Leo wants to do, they are very clear that Leo will do They can manage nothing.
Leo walked to the edge of the glacier, and the spirit net was released, and he probed into the glacier.
The reason why Leo is interested in the glacier is because he feels that there seems to be a wave of energy in the glacier~EbookFREE.me~ This wave of energy is very weak, almost equivalent to a lower psionic creature, but this The energy level is very high, at least beyond Leo's psionic level, because while feeling the energy fluctuations, he also felt a suppression from the life level.
"The God of Quincys Snow Mountain? How is this thing?" Leo soon discovered the source of this energy fluctuation, but what he found through the spiritual network made him puzzled.
Because Leo discovered that the thing emitting the high-level energy fluctuation was actually a skull fragment, and this was also a very special skull fragment.
Driven by curiosity, Leo quickly walked over the glacier. The psionic energy was driven out of his body and gathered under his feet to form an invisible drill bit, making him drill like a kind of drilling device to the skull fragments below the glacier. In the past.
The people in the caravan were attracted by the movement of Leo. They only saw Leo walked onto the glacier. Suddenly the whole person sank into the iceberg. They mistakenly thought they fell into the glacier crack, but Before waiting for their rescue, Leo, who had just sunk into the glacier, floated up from below and landed on the surface of the glacier, but there seemed to be one more thing in his hand.
