Amidst the screams and chaos, the bearded man and the others lost control of the injured woman, and then discovered that the injured woman had disappeared directly from under their eyes. Their voices were obviously panicked.
After they finally stabilized the chaos and rekindled the fire with the help of the remaining fire, they saw that except for the four of them in the wooden house, the injured woman had disappeared. Their expressions changed drastically. Seeing that the team was about to be in chaos again, the bearded man shouted
Although I couldn't understand what he said after a few calls, the effect of stabilizing the team was obvious.
The strongest bearded man and the brown-bearded man were responsible for closing the door to keep out the wind and snow, while the other two were searching the house with fire in hand to see if the injured woman was still hiding somewhere in the house.
The headless Jingan Cheng calmly looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. The injured woman was no longer in the snowy mountain cabin and had already escaped into the white snowy night outside.
But he didn't chase him blindly.
Because he had already thought that all these people should have been killed, and no one escaped this disaster, so as long as he followed these people throughout the whole process, he did not need to run around randomly. The evil behind the scenes would find these four people again.
Personal.
It is easier and easier to follow four people than one person.
It was a frightening snowy night. After closing the door again and nailing it firmly, several people sat in front of the stove and stayed up all night. Their faces looked tired, some were frightened, and there were frightened cries from the woman with a hairband.
.
Fortunately, they couldn't see a headless Taoist priest standing in the wooden house. The four people who had just experienced their companions being possessed by evil spirits might be frightened again.
A few people sat around the fire and stayed up all night. At dawn the next day, after a night of raging wind and snow, the blizzard outside had stopped. They began to discuss how to find the injured woman.
There was such a heavy snowstorm last night. The few people outside would definitely not be able to find any useful clues. Any footprints or traces would have been covered by the thick snow.
The team began to have differences and quarrels. Some people wanted to leave the Snowy Mountains first, while others wanted to stay and continue looking for the injured woman.
In the end, the team chose to go back and continue looking for the injured woman. From this, it can be seen that the friendship between these people is very deep and they did not abandon others regardless of life or death.
This is a vast snowy mountain, the place is vast and clues have been destroyed. Why do these people think they can find their missing companions?
With this curiosity and doubt, the headless Jin An also followed up, following behind a few people.
Seeing that these people were not wandering around without any purpose, but were walking in the same direction, Headless Jin'an thought in his heart, if the goals of these people are so consistent, could that direction be the direction they came from yesterday?
The direction that the few people were walking was exactly the direction of the frozen river that he had seen from a high place yesterday.
Sure enough, following these people can help him find clues about the Immortal Cauldron, Headless Jin Anxin thought.
When we were still some distance away from the glacier, we encountered a large frozen rift valley blocking our way. A suspension bridge in disrepair spanned the frozen rift valley.
Since there are wooden houses here, it means that someone has lived there for a while before, so it is not surprising to find a suspension bridge in the snowy mountains.
There is an abyss under the suspension bridge. If you fall down accidentally, your body will be shattered into pieces, and your body will not be intact.
As soon as they arrived at the suspension bridge, they made a major discovery. They found a scratched piece of clothing on the suspension bridge, which belonged to the possessed woman who disappeared last night.
Just when the headless Jin An subconsciously looked towards the other side of the frozen rift valley, subconsciously thinking that the other party had gone to the other side of the glacier, the desperate cry of the woman with a hairband attracted his attention.
The woman with a hairband sat slumped on the suspension bridge, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing downwards at the bottom of the rift valley with the other hand. There was sadness and despair on her face.
Headless Jin'an came to the edge of the cliff with a biting cold wind. He looked down and saw a large pool of bright red blood on a rock protruding from the cliff, as well as a human corpse covered most of the body with snow.
It was the woman who disappeared last night, who was now a lifeless corpse that fell off a cliff.
There was a heavy snowstorm last night, and the wind speed was even stronger here in the Rift Valley. He must have been blown down by the snowstorm when he was crossing the suspension bridge.
The cliff where the body fell was too steep, and it was unrealistic for people to go down and carry the body up. Several people could only look at the bodies of their companions and were helpless, with sad expressions on everyone's faces.
The sudden collapse of the thin man frightened several people. The three bearded men nervously checked and found that he had just fainted and was not life-threatening. They collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Headless Jin An was not surprised at all by the sudden collapse of the sickly man. It was surprising that such a weak body could persist for so long in the bad weather of the snowstorm.
The air was thin in the snowy mountains, and after walking a long way to find the missing woman, I was weak and out of breath. It was reasonable for me to faint and fall to the ground at this time.
A companion in the team had already died, and they were worried that the bad weather would blow the sick man into trouble again. The remaining three people put away their grief forcibly, mourned for a while at the body that fell off the cliff, and then left with the sick man.
Return to the direction of the snow mountain cabin.
This is a snowy mountain. The snowy road is difficult to travel. In addition, the thin air is very physically demanding. No one can bear the burden of carrying a big living person in the snowy mountain. The big bearded man and the brown bearded man chopped down a branch.
Put the sick man on a tree branch and drag him all the way back to the snow mountain cabin.
This scene feels familiar.
It was exactly the same scene as yesterday when I was dragging my female companion along.
Headless Jin An glanced at the sickly man who was still in a coma, then at the body that fell off the cliff, and then left with a few others.
…
Snow mountain cabin.
The firewood in the stove crackled and burned, and several people boiled snow water and cooked food. After a hearty meal around the fire, their frozen hands and feet finally regained their warmth and feeling.
Several people checked their bodies and found that everyone had frostbite in several places. The hands and feet were the most severely frostbitten parts.
This inevitably added a bit of pessimism to the team. Coupled with the fact that a companion had just died, it made several people even more pessimistic.
A few people started talking and communicating, turned into quarrels, and then turned into arguments and shoving. It seemed that everyone was blaming the other.
Headless Jin'an didn't need to understand to roughly guess what they were complaining about. They must have been talking about shirking responsibility, such as knowing that they shouldn't have come here, and whoever leads the way bears the greatest responsibility.
When people fall into such a desperate and pessimistic environment, they almost always use the same excuses to shirk responsibility.
But one thing he didn't expect was that surrounded by pessimism, these people did not rush to find a way out in the snowy mountains, but actually returned the same way, wanting to return to the glacier, prepare more food, and then find a way out in the snowy mountains.
But this is exactly the result he wants most, because it can lead him to find the real Immortal Cauldron.
