Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 204 Plateau
"If you encounter that kind of extremely cold wind, which is extremely rare, you must avoid it, otherwise you will freeze to death."

"Around the Stone Carrying Festival, there happened to be strong winds at Avalanche Mountain."

"This is not over yet. There are still various monsters in the Avalanche Mountains."

"Let me put it this way. The Avalanche Mountain Range is a trial of normal difficulty for the vitality stage. Think about it for yourself."

"So, if you don't have enough strength, give up as soon as possible, or you will really die."

The people nearby looked at each other and frowned.

Molten Hammer smiled and said, "Fortunately, we Iron Dwarves have iron skin and the power of fire in our bodies, so we are not afraid. Besides, we have prepared big fur coats."

Shanhe Oak said slowly, "You are not allowed to wear outer clothes when climbing the Avalanche Mountains."

A series of curses rang out, humans, dwarves, demons, and orcs were all cursing.

Zhou Leng checked the database while saying, "This temperature is much colder than the North and South Poles of the Blue Planet. If the temperature is below minus 60 degrees, the skin of ordinary people will freeze quickly and then die. We are in the Body Refining Stage, and we can only survive to minus degrees at most, and we may need true energy."

"No wonder the giants are so powerful, because the weak ones were killed by the giants themselves. I really can't understand the difficulty of the body refining stage." Zhang Xinglie said.

Shan Heyuan said slowly: "This is the rule of the giants. If you are not strong enough, it is better to die early in the trial than to become food for the dragon."

Zhou Leng suddenly asked, "Will this Giant Trial be a mandatory one for the late-stage Body Refining Giants to participate?"

"Yes." said Shanhe Oak.

Shan Heyuan said: "Before the giants reach adulthood, about 20% of them die directly in the trials."

Everyone shook their heads.

Molten Hammer held it in for a while, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "There's another 1% that died during the festival, right?" The giant nearby rolled his eyes.

Everyone suppressed laughter.

"Let's go, run to Avalanche Mountain. Avalanche Mountain is big and the slope is long, so you have to be prepared."

At this time, the examiner was already running in front, with more than 4,000 people following behind.

In addition, nearly 10,000 people were eliminated by the Painful Water Lily.

Dwarves including Ale and Graylight looked at the backs of Zhou Leng and Molten Hammer and sighed softly.

While running, Shanhe Oak and Shanheyuan slowly introduced the customs, life and trials of the giants.

What about a one-month-old baby being thrown and stretched to open his muscles and bones, a hundred-day-old baby being thrown into the snow and bathing in it, and a one-year-old child carrying a stone and running long distances...

A true fighting race.

Soon, Zhou Leng and others came up with a simple idea.

I would rather die than live in a world of giants.

This is not a place where people should come at all.

Too high risk.

Slowly, the examiner picked up the pace.

Soon, the speed exceeded one hundred kilometers per hour.

Some people couldn't keep up and fell behind.

The last sea monster in the late stage of body refining never caught up with the team.

The group ran for thousands of kilometers in one breath before they slowed down.

Zhou Leng raised his head and looked ahead.

Mount Everest is nearly 9000 meters high, but it is already majestic and majestic. It looks extremely sacred from afar.

What is before my eyes is not a mountain, but a plateau.

It is a huge plateau over 50,000 meters high.

At the edge of the plateau, there is a line of sky across which white clouds shuttle.

Below the edge of the plateau, a long snow-white slope stretches down, reflecting the dazzling white light.

Huge roars came from the front from time to time.

Although we are hundreds of kilometers away from the foot of the mountain, we can still see the snow and boulders rolling down the avalanche slope.

Below the snow slope, countless rocks fell from the plateau, rising and falling, gathering into a rocky highland.

A strong wind blew, making my skin feel slightly cool.

Zhou Leng looked at the current temperature on his magic watch.

45 degrees below zero.

Zhou Leng asked: "This mountain is said to be 50,000 meters high. Is the air there very thin?"

On Earth, this altitude goes straight up into the stratosphere.

"Yes." said Shanhe Oak.

Molten Hammer sighed and said, "It's very difficult for someone in the Body Refining Stage to come to the Avalanche Mountains."

Zhang Xinglie said: "If my guess is correct, the climbing process of Avalanche Mountain is actually in the snow all the time, right?"

"You are right, and it is in the flowing snow." Shanheyuan said.

Everyone shook their heads.

Soon, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, fifty kilometers away.

The examiner said, "From now on, you will go forward on your own. Remember the rules I mentioned before. Those who fight among themselves will be killed!"

Humans like Zhou Leng instinctively looked at the demons, while dwarves like Molten Hammer instinctively looked at the orcs.

Everyone took off their warm outer clothes, and some even took off their inner coats.

Zhou Leng changed into shorts, carried a backpack, and ran forward with everyone.

He glanced at the magic watch again.

65 degrees below zero.

huh... huh...

Everyone squinted their eyes. The wind was too strong and the huge snow slope in front of them was shining with dazzling light.

Occasionally white clouds float by, leaving faint shadows above.

At the same time, everyone slowed down and few people spoke.

Zhou Leng stretched out his hand and let the magic watch test the wind level.

I looked down and saw it was level 9.

At this level, the tree branches can be blown off and ordinary people can no longer walk.

At level 10, you can already uproot large trees and blow over ordinary houses.

At this level, the wind speed has exceeded 20 meters per second.

The maximum running speed of an ordinary person is only 10 meters per second.

After walking a few steps, the wind level rose to level 10.

Now, we haven’t reached the foot of the Avalanche Mountains yet.

The day was sunny, the wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavily.

Everyone bent down slightly and tried to move forward, but it was a case of running too fast.

I had run for more than ten hours before, but it was not as far as this short road of just a few dozen kilometers. The closer we got to the hillside, the stronger the wind became.

Soon, large rocks were rolling on the ground and small rocks were flying all over the sky.

Countless small pieces of gravel fell on everyone.

boom!
Zhou Leng did not dodge, he just felt the fist of a two or three year old child hitting his forehead, but there was no scar left.

He turned his head and glanced at the other people not far away. Everyone had their arms covering their faces, and the exposed skin was bruised and swollen.

Soon, everyone finally climbed over the rocky hillside and arrived at the foot of the Avalanche Mountains.

Zhou Leng took another look at the magic watch.

Wind force 12, hurricane.

70 degrees below zero.

Breathing became difficult.

The cold air irritates the nasal mucosa in the nasal cavity.

A large piece of rocks flew towards him, and Zhou Leng stretched out his hands and waved them away.

There were no rocks on the ground, but waist-deep snow blown by the strong wind.

No one said anything anymore, and everyone moved forward silently.

Even the strongest giants, whose bodies might be taller than Shan Heyuan, had solemn expressions.

For most people, this level is easy.

But the conditions on the avalanche slopes and plateaus are even worse than here.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said loudly: "Let's try the wind-breaking formation to prepare for the next step. I haven't done it before, but I've watched some long-distance running and cycling videos and will try it slowly."

So everyone started trying out formations and soon felt changes.

Especially when Shanhe Oak and Shanhe Yuan were in the front and flanks, their huge bodies blocked a lot of wind and snow, and the wind behind them suddenly slowed down, leaving a snow-free passage.

Molten Hammer shouted: "I feel the warmth of life and the temperature of the soul."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Zhou Leng shouted, "Take turns, ten minutes each."

Soon, Shanhe Oak and Shanhe Yuan were replaced, with Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie in front.

Shanheyuan and Shanhe Oak looked and saw that there were changes behind them, but not much.

Soon, Molten Hammer and Black Barrel came to the front.

Two little heads were sticking out of the snow, submerged up to their necks.

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie and the Shanhe brothers looked at each other.

Zhou Leng said: “Melting Hammer, you dwarves don’t need to break the wind in front, it’s better to leak more.”

"I'm suing you for defamation!" Molten Hammer roared.

The two brothers Shanhe stepped forward and crossed the molten hammer.

Molten Hammer spread his hands helplessly and said, "I didn't mean to be lazy, but you guys didn't let me. How about you two humans hold us up and pretend to be giants?"

Zhang Xinglie said: "If you encounter danger, conserve your energy and do more."

"No problem!" After staying in Ruda for a few days, Molten Hammer's human language has begun to become distinctive.

The further they went, the deeper the snow became, and soon it was higher than Melt Hammer's head.

Two giants and two humans took turns breaking the wind in front.

Although the Shanhe brothers suffered a little disadvantage, it was better than going forward alone.

The two dwarves, Molten Hammer and Black Barrel, followed behind, jumping out of the snow from time to time to observe the situation, hoping to make merit.

"We're starting to climb." Zhou Leng felt the ground ahead gradually becoming steeper.

The resistance of wind and snow suddenly increased.

He took a step forward and sank into the snow.

The thickness of the flowing snow ahead is already more than two meters.

Walking alone is no longer effective in breaking through the strong wind and snow.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie used their hands like paddling water, constantly pushing the snow in front of them to the sides, so as to ensure their progress.

After walking for a while, Zhou Leng jumped up to see.

Some giants were already walking higher up along the snow slope.

Teams of other races were completely buried in the snow, and no trace of them could be seen.

Zhou Leng said: "It's not a good idea to go on slowly like this. I think it's better to go uphill quickly, reach the top of the plateau quickly, and then pass through the terrifying wind zone quickly instead of moving forward slowly."

"I think so too." Zhang Xinglie looked at Zhou Leng in surprise. He didn't expect Zhou Leng to be so decisive and courageous.

"I support it." Shanheyuan said.

"I agree!" The others supported him.

"Okay, let's speed up."

Zhou Leng glanced at Zhang Xinglie, and they both took a deep breath and circulated their true energy together, no longer wasting their arms to separate the snow.

Instead, he crossed his arms to protect his face and strode forward, using his body to break the strong wind, divert the snow, and carry the gravel.

Amid the strong wind and heavy snow, the two began to climb jogging.

Soon, the two of them continued running, their speed several times faster than before.

The team of six people suddenly accelerated.

Amidst the strong wind, flowing snow and smashing rocks, Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie remained calm.

Jogging and climbing step by step, we opened up a path to victory in the vast sea of snow.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the front.

"Everyone charge to the right and avoid the boulders!" The tallest mountain oak was higher than the snow layer and saw the boulders rolling over from above.

Everyone hurriedly dodged to the right.

Wait until the boulder falls far away, then return to the original place and move forward quickly along the path the boulder passed.

Suddenly, a heavy object and the snow fell on Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie, forcing them to stop.

Push aside the thick snow, drag out the heavy object, and throw it to the snow-free area behind.

Everyone took a closer look.

A broken body of a giant, frozen all over and worn and damaged by rocks.

"Go on." Zhou Leng turned around and walked forward.

After walking for a long time, a deafening sound was heard.

Rumble…

Rumble!
The earth trembled and the hillsides shook.

"It's an avalanche, retreat and find shelter from rocks!" Shan Heyuan shouted.
