In one night, Cheng Tianle passed through the plateau basin and the ten-mile-long magical passage, and reached the exit at the other end. What he saw was a unique wonder in the Himalayas - the Ice Pagoda Forest. In front of him was a landform completely made of ice and snow.
Magnificent and colorful, those huge ice blocks are like hills, castles, towers, and sharp knives, ranging from several meters high to more than ten feet high. They are crystal clear and appear light red under the rays of the sunrise.
There are also circular melting pits on many ice surfaces, like small lakes. Some seracs are hollow, with cracks and channels of melting ice inside. You can even see through the transparent ice.
See the flowing underground river. In this huge world of ice and snow, there are many huge ice caves, ice curtains, ice stalactites, and icicles, which are like naturally formed groups of ice sculptures and a magnificent crystal palace.
Chengtianle has reached above the snow line in summer again. Although the temperature in the low-latitude plateau is extremely low, the solar radiation is also very strong. The surface of ice and snow in the sun will melt and flow to the mouth of this relatively low valley, where it will be exposed to low temperatures again.
The condensation formed such a peculiar landscape.
Zi Hao frowned and said, "Senior brother, it's too dangerous to walk here at night. We'd better go there during the day."
Cheng Tianle also frowned and nodded: "Yes, it's best to go through during the day, so let's go directly."
Although the wonders of the Seraca Forest are magnificent, they are also very dangerous. The melted water between the seracs has a strong ability to erode downwards, leaving various cracks in the ice. There are also many undercurrents under the ice. If you are not careful, you will
Sliding into the transparent and beautiful abyss. If someone sets up an ambush here to launch an attack, they don't need to attack Cheng Tianle directly. They only need to cause an ice avalanche nearby to bury him.
It's impossible to see what's going on around you at night. The densely packed ice towers can not only refract light and shadow, but can even hinder spiritual consciousness. Therefore, from a safety perspective, it is best to travel during the day. Even if your whereabouts are exposed, you won't be able to care about it, not to mention that it may not be possible.
Someone was watching them, and Cheng Tianle walked at night just out of caution.
Zi Hao turned invisible and opened the way ahead, floating among the ice towers to guide Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle carried a green silk whisk and followed carefully, avoiding the weak, steep, and broken parts of the ice. He did not take him with him.
With the equipment, whisks can turn into tens of thousands of flying threads that are several feet long. The monk's magic weapon is more useful than any kind of professional equipment. The sun gradually rises, and the red light reflected by the ice tower gradually fades away, showing a mysterious,
Faintly flowing blue.
The ice surface refracts and reflects countless fragments of light and shadow, as if walking into a phantom array. It is easy to lose your way here. This ice tower forest extends from the glaciers on the mountains on both sides, and is only more than one kilometer wide at the mouth of the valley.
But it took Cheng Tianle a long time to get out. Looking further ahead, there is another plateau basin surrounded by snow peaks, which is hundreds of miles wide!
Near the lowest point in the center of the basin, there is a large lake formed by the melting of snow, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Surrounding the lakeshore is a circle of gravel beaches, and beyond the gravel beaches is a primitive jungle with lush trees, where you can enjoy yourself all day long.
From a distance, I saw wild beasts drinking water by the lake. On the other side of the lake, in a deep valley under the snowy peaks, was the place where Luo Lei Gold was produced.
It takes a hundred miles to go around the big lake from the edge of the ice tower forest to reach the mountain valley. You can imagine how huge this isolated "Tian basin" is, but it is difficult to see it on satellite images.
appearance. Due to the terrain, from
The wind blowing from the south direction is blocked by the mountains and forms a cyclone in this generation. There are always clouds covering the sky above the lake. It looks like a canopy that sometimes gets bigger and sometimes smaller. The sunlight can shine onto the lake from the side, forming a light transpiration.
fog.
Zi Hao sighed: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there is such a hidden beauty between heaven and earth."
Sheng Long stuck out his tongue and said, "It's not easy to enjoy the scenery here."
Cheng Tianle waved his hand: "Let's go quickly. Since we haven't rested during the day, we need to find a safe campsite before dark. The scenery here looks beautiful, but it's also very weird."
Zi Hao pointed to a group of big birds flying down to the lake in the distance and said, "Mr. Cheng, look, are they eagles? How come there are so many of them?"
Cheng Tianle's eyes were much better than Zi Hao's. He shook his head and said, "That's not an eagle, it's a vulture on the plateau, tearing up the carcass of some animal."
All around this vast basin, the peaks are above the snow line. Some peaks are more than 7,000 meters high. They are hung with glaciers and are too steep to climb. However, the terrain at the foot of the mountains gradually becomes gentle. When you reach the lowest lake in the center of the basin, the altitude is
It is only over 3,000 meters. Depending on the height, there are different types of vegetation scattered along the slopes. There are also various wild animals living here, such as Tibetan antelopes, snow leopards, yaks, vultures... Cheng Tianle even saw bears.
In the vast jungle, there are streams made of melted snow. In addition to the big lake, there are large and small pools in the wilderness, where all kinds of fish grow. Midsummer is the most vibrant season here. Cheng Tianle is not happy
It is clear that deep in the Himalayas, due to the terrain differences and the cutting of the mountains, there are many such basins full of life, but the scale here is undoubtedly very large.
They did not go through an unfamiliar jungle, but still walked along the edge of the basin at the foot of the snow peaks. The probability of an avalanche in this season was very small. They just avoided the melting glaciers. Near dusk, the basin was hanging directly above the
The clouds took on the color of fire, and Zi Hao suddenly shouted: "Mr. Cheng, look, the clouds are moving!"
The clouds in the sky are never static, so why is Zi Hao making such a fuss? Because the clouds are moving so weirdly, and the speed at high altitudes is too fast. They are rotating, piling up, and thickening almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Countless flag-shaped clouds scattered from the edge, and layers of white waves were seen on the shore of the lake in the distance. The wild animals drinking water by the lake had already gone into the jungle, and even the vultures competing for food had flown to hide somewhere.
stand up.
The animals living here have an instinctive reaction to the dangers of nature. Cheng Tianle, who is a master of demon cultivation, can naturally sense the violent atmosphere in the world. He said: "Hurry up and find a cave.
Hide, the wind is coming."
They happened to pass through a hillside covered with meadows. It was too late to go down and hide in the distant jungle. There was still some distance to go up to the cliff. The weather in this plateau basin was very strange. It was quiet just now, and the lake in the distance was still there.
The whirlpool on the bed just appeared, and it didn't take long for Cheng Tianle's clothes to be blown. After the breeze blew, there was a strong wind.
How can there be wind in a basin surrounded by mountains? Because the terrain difference around here is too big, and the temperature difference along the slope is also huge. When the sun sets and the temperature drops, it will cause strong convection of the air, just in this basin
It swirled wildly, and became even more violent when it reached the edge. The wind blew from left and right, swirled against the hillside, and even more bizarrely, it flew up and down along the mountain.
Cheng Tianle walked not far towards the cliff area on the grassy slope. In front of him was a vast expanse of white. It was the fog condensed by the cold wind blowing from high places, and also rolled down the snow on the mountain. He could hear the sound in his ears.
Hearing the sound of gravel rolling down from a high place, a piece of gravel hit him accidentally. The force was like a bullet, and it was harder to dodge than any hidden weapon in the world.
Fortunately, Cheng Tianle has a body of copper and iron bones, and is also wearing a set of tough warm-weather clothes. Shenglong is hiding in his left sleeve, and Zi Hao has been withdrawn into the Quchi point of his right hand. Cheng Tianle holds a green silk whisk in his right hand and occasionally waves his hands.
He picked up the larger gravel that had been blown down by the strong wind and walked step by step towards the cliff using the magic method. The higher he went, the more snow particles were blown by the wind, and they were also mixed with sharp ice fragments.
Zi Hao suddenly shouted again: "Be careful, there is an attack!"
This strange storm is very dangerous, but at the same time it is also the best cover. Only with Cheng Tianle's level of cultivation can he move forward steadily. If it were an ordinary monk who could not even stand firmly, who could carry out a sneak attack?
But following Zi Hao's call, the wind and snow in front suddenly condensed into a weird giant palm shape, and it grabbed Cheng Tianle.
Cheng Tianle waved his whisk, and thousands of green hairs came forward, flashing with crackling electric light, shattering the giant palm made of wind and snow, and the sound of mana surging was like cracking a monument. This was not an ordinary sneak attack, but
It was a fight in the storm. Cheng Tianle had already sensed the fluctuation of the opponent's spiritual energy. He was not a human monk, but he was not any kind of demon cultivator that he could distinguish.
The sneak attack missed, and then there was a strange roar, and the wind around Cheng Tianle suddenly became stronger. He was already standing in the strong wind, but the other party seemed to understand this kind of wind very well, and cast spells to stir up all kinds of chaos.
A whirlwind of wind, mixed with transparent wind blades and sharp ice crystals that condensed instantly, would not only sweep away Cheng Tianle's body, but also stab him with holes.
Cheng Tianle had already sensed the opponent's position, and was about to push through the wind and snow to get closer to him. At this moment, he had to use his magic power to freeze his figure. The roots under his feet seemed to be integrated with the hillside. He had noticed that the other party's magic power was not as good as his, so he cultivated
Although the level of the demon was even lower than his, the demon's innate magical power made it difficult for Cheng Tianle to fight back.
What the opponent is moving is the violent wind between heaven and earth. It just adds a force to Cheng Tianle's close body. He uses the wind with his magic power to make the attack more violent. Cheng Tianle is not only fighting with this demon, but also fighting to be manipulated by the opponent.
The wind and snow on the plateau. Underfoot
It took root without moving, and tens of thousands of green threads rolled up, crushing the wind blades and ice crystals. A continuous roar came from the depths of the white wind and snow. It was obviously shocked and angry. It had used such a powerful method, how could it not be able to deal with one?
A strange human being who broke into this place?
Cheng Tianle's flying electric stone flew out of his wrist, spinning in the direction of the sound and shooting into the wind and snow, and finally launched a counterattack. (To be continued.)
