Chapter 34 Bugs?
80 minutes have passed since Wei Chen started climbing. As the altitude increased, Yu Lin gradually became unable to adapt. So Wei Chen's number of pauses also increased. At his original speed, it only took 10 minutes to reach the top. At this moment, he stopped about 1,000 meters away from the peak.
"I'm sorry. Am I too weak?" Yu Lin sat on a stone, panting and looking at Wei Chen apologetically.
"What to say? If you are a burden, it is also a sweet burden." Wei Chen smiled and reached out to cover Yu Lin's cold face.
The warmth from Wei Chen's palm made Yu Lin close her eyes comfortably. She heard his sweet words in her ears again. Her heart seemed to melt. After enjoying it contentedly for a while, she opened her eyes with difficulty. He rolled his eyes and said, "How about I wait for you here. You go and come back quickly."
"Don't you want to stand on the top of the mountain with me and take a look? Okay. I'll protect you from now on." After Wei Chen finished speaking, he rubbed Julien's head and then squatted down in front of her. All the way. Wei Chen also wanted to train Yu Lin. But seeing that she was a little overwhelmed, he felt that she would not be burdened by the rest of the journey.
"It won't affect you, right?" Yu Lin asked worriedly as she lay obediently on Wei Chen's broad back.
"No. How about it? Is it better?" Wei Chen wrapped Yu Lin's body with domineering force, temporarily creating a stressful environment for her that was the same as on land.
"Yeah. Much better. I want to take a nap."
"Well, go to sleep. I'll call you when we reach the top of the mountain." Wei Chen lifted Yu Lin up so that she could have a more comfortable position.
"Yes." Yu Lin agreed and gently closed her eyes.
"Gah~gah~" Wei Chen saw Yu Lin closing her eyes and ran quickly to the top of the mountain again.
The last section of Mount Elbrus, nearly 200 meters, is the most difficult to climb. Not to mention the steep angle, the brittle rocks increase the danger and difficulty of the climb.
Wei Chen used his domineering force to tie Yu Lin tightly behind his back, freeing his hands. Then he used his hands and feet to climb towards the top of the mountain at an inhuman speed. His flexible skills were nothing like that. It's climbing. It's more like walking up the stairs.
Not long after, he arrived at the top of Mount Elbrus. Just as he was about to wake Yu Lin up, a strange noise came from the side. It sounded like something was eating.
"Bang, bang, bang. Gugu~" Wei Chen frowned and looked towards the place where the sound came from. But except for some stones, there was nothing there.
Suddenly, a very round stone in the pile of stones moved slightly. Wei Chen took a closer look and realized what kind of stone it was. It was clearly a rather huge beetle.
Although he was confused as to why this kind of beetle existed on the top of Mount Elbrus, he immediately came to the insect and grabbed it.
The insect was about the size of a fist, with a sharp protruding black horn on its head. Wei Chen caught it in his hand. It struggled slightly for a few times, and then continued to hold a stone and slowly began to eat it.
Its mouthparts are very sharp. It takes no effort at all to chew on rocks.
It seemed that it felt the warmth from Wei Chen's palm. While chewing the stone, the insect stared at Wei Chen with its dark eyes.
Wei Chen smiled slightly and continued to lower his head and look at the insect carefully. It had eight legs in total. The hair on the two legs near the head was softer. It was the two legs it was holding on to the stone.
The remaining six are much thicker and more ferocious. They are covered with sharp barbs and sharp burrs. Its belly has clear textures. Two black carapace on its chest wrap its gray-black belly.
There was a T-shaped crack on its back, which should be where its wings were. Wei Chen smiled slightly and carefully put the insect back on the ground. It was really interesting to see such a big insect.
After the insect left Wei Chen's hand, it seemed a little reluctant to leave. It used its six legs and spun around on the ground. After seeing Wei Chen's open right hand that had not been taken back, it crawled towards his right hand again, and then rubbed on it. After a few times, he gathered his six legs and put them back under his belly. He lay on Wei Chen's palm again and ate the few remaining stones in his arms.
On the quiet mountain top, apart from the whistling wind, the only sound left was the sound of this insect chewing on rocks.
"What is this...ah~~um..." Yu Lin was awakened by the rhythmic gnawing sound. When she saw the bug in Wei Chen's hand, she instinctively screamed. However, Wei Chen, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, was stunned. He reached out and covered it.
"Shh. Screaming like that on the top of the mountain will cause an avalanche. It's okay. It won't hurt anyone." Wei Chen said softly in Yu Lin's ear.
The bug in his hand just happened to raise its head at this moment. It glanced at Yu Lin dissatisfied, then threw the stones on its front paws into its mouth. After taking a hard bite, it swallowed them all. .Then he quickly ran down from Wei Chen's palm, found another stone, and crawled back into Wei Chen's palm.
"What kind of insect is this? Why is it so big?" Yu Lin saw the insect's humanized movements. Suddenly, she no longer had any fear in her heart. Instead, she felt a sense of curiosity and love.
"I don't know. It looks like a beetle. But the beetle can't go to such a high altitude. And I don't see any of its kind around. I don't know how it got to the top of the mountain." Wei Chen He shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Except for the color being a little darker, it's actually quite cute." Yu Lin jumped off Wei Chen's back and squatted next to him. Together with him, she looked at the bug on his palm while reaching out towards the bug. Touch the back.
"Be careful. Its claws are very sharp." Wei Chen held the six legs of the insect with his fingers to prevent the insect from making any abnormal movements when Yu Lin touched it.
"It's so smooth. Hehe~" Yu Lin only touched it once and couldn't put it down. She continued to touch it several times.
Seeing that Chongzi had no resistance to Yu Lin's "touch", Wei Chen slowly let go of his hand.
Only then could the insect turn its head. It glanced at Yu Lin, who was constantly touching itself. At first, it was a little dissatisfied and wanted to run away. Later, it seemed to realize that this feeling was not bad, so it lay down quietly. Wei Chen continued to eat its stone meal from the palm of his hand.
