Chapter 170 169 The golden toad swallows its breath, and the poor picture reveals it!

On the fast-speeding polar off-road vehicle, Chen Jue looked at the white world outside the window. The cold wind blew through the ice and snow, and he could clearly see the wind marks formed by the snowflakes. He could hear the whining wind in his ears. Although it was still morning, the temperature nearby

It has dropped to minus 18℃.

As for Linglong, she and Zhao Zhen chatted wordlessly in the carriage.

"Miss Linglong, do you really not like my type?"

"I don't have any characteristics, but my only advantage is that I am sincere to others and never tell lies. If you are willing to agree to date me, I promise to hand over all my salary and income in the future and will not lie to you."

"I believe love at first sight exists in this world! I found that I have fallen in love with Miss Linglong!" Zhao Zhen turned the steering wheel, his face flushed, and his eyes glanced at Linglong in the car from time to time.

This half-race foreigner's bold advances made Chen, who was like a lightbulb, burst into laughter.

"Never tell lies?" Linglong raised her eyebrows.

"Yes! My Chinese name was given to me by my grandpa. The reason why it is called 'Zhen' is because sincerity can impress most people and things in the world."

"As the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success. I hope to use my sincerity to impress you, Miss Linglong." Zhao Zhen said with a blushing face.

"Since you can't lie, can you tell me whether the father-son relationship between you and Tom is true? Although you two look somewhat similar, I can't see the deep father-son love between you.

." Linglong blinked and asked bluntly at the other party.

"So Miss Linglong, this is what you care about!"

"Daddy Tom and I are indeed biologically related as father and son, but I was not born through natural conception, but through in vitro fertilization through artificial insemination."

"Maybe it's for this reason that I haven't been close to Father Tom since I was born. In addition, he has been exploring the polar regions all year round, so there is basically no trace of him in my childhood, so..." Zhao Zhen looked a little sincere.

With a look of color, he slowly explained.

"test tube baby?"

"So that's it! It seems that you also had a very unpleasant growth experience." Linglong nodded thoughtfully.

"Miss Linglong, what do you mean, did your growth experience have the same ups and downs as mine? That's such a coincidence! This is the fate given to us by God! Let me tell you, why did I...

I fell in love with you, it turns out that we can form a spiritual resonance between you and me." Zhao Zhen said and became a little excited.

I guess it’s because I have practiced Mahamudra yoga a lot, and like Buddhists, I also emphasize that everything arises by chance and meets fate.

When Chen Jue heard this, he looked at Zhao Zhen rather strangely and thought to himself: "In terms of hardships, I guess a yoga master like you is still not as good as Linglong who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood."

Linglong smiled noncommittally and did not take up the topic of love. Instead, she asked about exploration-related matters and how to find the meteorite fragments. Chen Jue also pricked up his ears and listened.

"Miss Linglong, Mr. Chen Jue, I think you should also know that the energy radiation emitted by meteorite fragments does not have any radiation frequency known to mankind. So far, there is no detection instrument that can capture its signal."

"We at the Extreme Sports Association were able to find it thanks to a set of experiences summed up by my grandfather and father."

"Each team that goes out for exploration must have at least one yoga master who has practiced Mahamudra and understood Bodhi, that is, a master of the realm of Zhenren Leiyin, as you call him in the Taoist classics of the Flower Planting Family."

"It's just that those of us who practice yoga Mahamudra focus on the soul, and we can't be as strong as you in martial arts."

"After understanding Bodhi, you can use your body's awakened sixth sense to capture the energy radiation emitted by meteorite fragments." Zhao Zhen revealed.

When Chen Jue heard this, he and Linglong looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

"There is a guru in each group?" Linglong asked.

"Yes, I am also a yoga master who has realized Bodhi. I have stronger physical strength and endurance than ordinary people, so I can barely carry out in-depth adventures in Antarctica." Zhao Zhen turned around and smiled, took off the glove on his right hand, and raised his hand.

He made a heart seal gesture in his palm, and his palm was filled with blood quickly like a balloon.

The rushing sound of Qi and blood fell on Chen Jue, and it was extremely calm in Linglong's ears. The beatings coming from his handprints were just like the heartbeat when the dark energy was strong.

“Yoga Mahamudra?”

"It is rumored that if you practice this kung fu to a great extent, you can have the power of Buddha to throw elephants. I don't know whether it is true or not." Linglong looked at Zhao Zhen with a deep look and said.

"Miss Linglong, throwing elephants is an exaggerated description in Buddhist scriptures. The smallest newborn elephant weighs more than 100 kilograms, let alone throwing an adult elephant weighing several tons into the air and staying there for three days! Then!

It’s an exaggerated legend! Just like the legendary Buddha’s earth-touching mudra, all demons are subdued. The earth-touching mudra in Mahamudra is just a skill similar to one-finger meditation. The body is supported in the air by one finger. Many special skills

Any monk who practices One Finger Zen can do it, practice makes perfect." Zhao Zhen explained.

As for Chen Jue, he smiled unnaturally after hearing this allusion.

He didn't know whether Buddha had ever thrown an elephant, but Chen Jue had indeed thrown two adult elephants away.

…

The polar off-road vehicle drove farther and farther, and after driving for two hours, it stopped at the edge of a glacier fault. The three people put on masks and got out of the vehicle, and walked step by step to the edge of the glacier, which was about a hundred kilometers high.

Top of the ice.

"Mr. Chen Jue, Miss Linglong, this is your first time setting foot in Antarctica. With your skills, it stands to reason that there won't be any accidents."

"But to be on the safe side, I'll walk you through the polar expedition process today." Zhao Zhen said as he took the tools out of the car.

The long rock climbing rope was tied to the car at one end and dropped into the ice valley at the other end. Then he took out a special outdoor climbing pickaxe. Zhao Zhen began to climb down the rope little by little, with extremely smooth movements.

After climbing to the bottom, Zhao Zhen waved to the two of them and motioned them to come down.

After that, Chen Jue and Linglong followed his instructions and imitated them. Both of them were masters of Dan Jie, so they learned this rock climbing movement very quickly.

After climbing up and down three times, Zhao Zhen led the two of them to explore the deeper areas.

On the way, they passed a simple supply station with Hongmu's logo on it. The three of them got out of the car and went in to take a rest and eat some scribbled food to replenish their energy.

Looking at the frozen cabinets and floors inside the supply station, Chen Jue couldn't help but sigh at the harsh environment of Antarctica.

"Mr. Chen Jue, do you know what is the most terrifying thing about Antarctica?" Seeing Chen Jue's thoughtful look, Zhao Zhen, who was heating water on the stove, suddenly asked.

"Is it low temperature?" Chen Jue asked.

"No! It's time!"

"Whether it's Antarctica or outside, the most terrifying thing is time."

"Time is the fairest to everyone, but it is the cruelest to everyone. Once something happens during an Antarctic expedition, if rescue is not timely, you will be buried in this world of ice and snow forever."

"Before you came, two teams from the Extreme Sports Association had lost contact during the expedition. When we found the distress signals they sent, they ended up freezing to death in such a crude supply station."

"If there is a snowstorm, no one can endure the long time here. No matter which supply station you set off from to the scientific research station, you will have to go through several hours or even days in the middle. Once the fuel in the supply station is exhausted,

If we run out, we will just have to wait for death. Therefore, most of us explorers will not use up all the supplies in a supply station unless it is absolutely necessary. This may leave a way of life for the next group of explorers who arrive here.

"Zhao Zhen stared at the hot water in the pot calmly and introduced expressionlessly.

After listening to it, Chen Jue and Linglong were both thoughtful.

…

Afterwards, the three of them simulated the exploration process in a nearby polar environment, and then drove all the way back to the scientific research station.

The expedition drill on the first day only covered a distance of two hundred kilometers, which was considered a safe distance for this group of people who came to Antarctica for adventure.

After Chen Jue returned to the scientific research station, he spent most of his time resting and practicing.

In the next few days, each time I went out, I walked farther and farther, and the terrain I visited varied from glacier faults to frozen valleys and undercurrents under the ice.

The temperature also plummeted from minus 12℃ when we first arrived to minus 52℃.

At this time, if the skin is exposed to the air without any protection, a layer of skin will freeze off within a few minutes.

But what makes Chen Jue feel strange is that even though he has been traveling to and from the Hongmu Scientific Research Station for several days, he has not met the other three expedition groups, as if he has been delayed.

I know that these three groups of nine people exist, but I have never encountered them in person at the scientific research station.

When a week passed, John, who had stayed at the station for several days, also took a private jet and left.

As for Chen Jue's Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu, he had perfected it to level 3 in the past few days of water-milling kung fu, and he had newly awakened a bonus state of [Golden Toad Swallowing Qi].

It is probably because this skill was enhanced by [Lu Zu Enlightenment], Chen Jue had already trained his strength into his internal organs, and was affected by the thin environment of Antarctic air, that he improved very quickly.

[Golden toad swallows Qi]: The toad in the well wants to swallow the sky, the iron lung and the steel heart are strong.

State description: Affected by this state, it can greatly enhance the breathing capacity of the lungs, the blood supply capacity of the heart, and accelerate the peristalsis and digestion of the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition, the Hidden Dragon Sleeping Pill Technique was also upgraded to Level 3 by Chen Jue. However, the level of this Taoist Sleeping Pill Technique is higher than that of the Golden Toad Technique, and Level 3 is not yet complete.

The two exercises improved Chen Jue's physical fitness by 0.12 and his strength sensitivity by 0.05, and his health index also climbed to 212%.

…

The day after sending John off, Chen Jue was told that starting today, he would begin to advance to some untouched human restricted areas in central Antarctica.

Behind the polar off-road vehicle driven by Zhao Zhen, a simple supply box with a sled was also started to be towed.

The three people set off at 6 a.m. and drove all the way, refueling several times along the way. They arrived at a simple supply point more than a thousand kilometers away from the scientific research station at around 9 p.m.

"There will be no supply points further forward. If we want to rest after that, we can only stay in the car or go back here." Zhao Zhen's face became serious.

In this world of ice and snow covering 13.9 million square kilometers, it is very difficult to establish such a closed supply depot. Being able to penetrate more than a thousand kilometers is the limit of what humans can do.

Even the Hongmu Group, with its wealth and wealth, cannot push further into the depths of Antarctica. One can imagine the cost of building a supply point in such a place.

The three of them stayed silent all night at the supply point. After many days of exploration and study, Chen Jue also learned that it is best to keep his mouth shut in such a polar environment, so as to maintain the heat in the body and prevent the loss of water easily.

It was only in the middle of the night that the temperature outside the supply point began to drop to minus 60 degrees Celsius. The whining wind began to sound like a demon with its teeth and claws. It blew the entire outer wall of the supply point and made a crackling sound. It was the sound of ice and snow hitting.

Only then did Chen Jue see the power of Antarctica.
