Desperate mountains, just like its name, is a steep area on the edge of civilization, with an average altitude of more than 10000 meters. One side is an endless sea and the other side is a vast white glacier.
In this world, it is almost inaccessible. Even the bravest adventure team will not easily step into the edge of the desperate mountains.
Because the name "desperate situation" is not an exaggerated description or artistic modification, but a simple description.
No animals!
No plants!
Some are just extremely cold climate and very bad living environment.
To be exact, there is no sign of life in this area at all. At most, occasionally, some birds Cross Mountains and fly from one side of the world to the other.
To some extent, the desperate mountains are equivalent to a wall, blocking the cold wind from the north.
But today, the two shadows broke the original tranquility and walked slowly on a vast expanse of white snow, leaving a row of very conspicuous footprints.
Needless to ask, they are not others at all. It is the women and boys who crossed the portal and came to this area not long ago.
After traveling along the endless steep rocks covered with snow for two or three days, they still didn't find the cave entrance hidden by the prophet, or even the trace covered by magic.
Obviously, either they haven't found the right place, or the entrance of the cave is not the only fixed, but constantly changing.
Either way, it means that it is not easy to find it.
Feeling the wind blowing head-on like a knife, the boy sighed slightly and said to the woman with the collar in a threatening tone, "you know? It's almost three days! If you haven't found a clue in five hours, you'd better be mentally prepared."
"No! No! It's not my problem! As I said before, no one can find the entrance to the cave unless invited." the woman trembled and hurriedly explained.
"Sorry, I don't accept any form of shirking and excuses. In short, you still have five hours to work hard." the boy gave the other party a meaningful look, and then trampled on the thick snow to move on.
In contrast, women seemed to be strongly stimulated, trembling slightly all over, and their eyes showed strong fear.
Because she knew that if there was no progress after five hours, the punishment waiting for herself would be more terrible than death.
In fact, they spent only 50 hours together and said no more than 20 words, but the woman who mastered the magic of life deeply realized that the man walking with her was not a boy at all, but a monster emitting darkness and evil from the inside out.
No emotion!
There is no mercy and mercy!
Do what is good for you and destroy what is bad for you, even if the life of a whole planet is destroyed.
But in order to survive and continue to live, women have to use their brains, crazy recall all the fragments related to the prophet, and try to find some useful clues.
About ten minutes or so, she suddenly stopped and shouted in a slightly harsh voice, "I... I remember! Near the entrance of the cave, there is a very strange rock. It is not covered with snow, and even there is no snowflake on it."
"Rocks not covered by snow?" the boy's eyes flashed a bright color.
If you change to other places and find a rock with strange shape and no snow cover, it naturally belongs to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But in this high-altitude mountain range with snow all year round, almost every corner is covered with thick snow, so a rock not covered by snow is as conspicuous as light in the dark.
Without any hesitation, he immediately cast his magic to create dozens of magic eyes and began a carpet search around the whole mountain, while he sat down and waited patiently for the results.
Time flies, and two hours pass in the blink of an eye.
When the woman began to be a little restless, the boy who always closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, grinned and muttered, "Aha! I found you!"
The voice just fell!
He directly left the trembling woman kneeling on the ground, opened a portal and passed through.
Next second
A strange rock, like an old man kneeling on the ground and looking up at the stars, suddenly appeared in the range of sight.
Through careful observation, the boy found that the stone was not polished by man, but a magical work of nature.
Just as he stretched out his hand to touch the cover, an indescribable force suddenly appeared, followed by a sudden disappearance.
When he recovered, he found that there was no longer a vast white snow around him, but a bottomless cave.
In the deepest part of the cave, you can vaguely see a little orange light, as if someone was making a fire inside.
"Interesting! Is there a natural transmission point?" the boy said to himself as he walked along the dark passage.
Seven or eight minutes later, he saw an old man sitting around a bright fire.
"Ah! You're here at last! Please sit down. I've been waiting for you for a long time." the old man slowly raised his head and showed an indescribable face.
wrinkle!
age spots
And extremely loose muscles!
It is hard to imagine that life, whose physical condition has deteriorated to such a degree, can still maintain strong spiritual strength.
Especially those eyes, bright and clear, seem to see through the past, present and future.
"Do you recognize me?" the boy narrowed his eyes and tried carefully.
The old man nodded gently: "yes, I know you. From the moment you were born twelve years ago, I have known your name, even your lost half body."
"Half body? What do you mean!"
"It means literally. When you came into this world, you were divided into two by some incredible force. Half of them became you now, and the other half became your twin brother."
"You mean... We were actually one person?"
"Yes, neither. If you don't mind, can I invite you to see a piece of enlightenment suddenly obtained twelve years ago?"
"Why not?"
