Chapter 979

Holding the telescope in the backpack, looking from their current position to the hinterland of Kunlun Mountain, the towering peaks are covered with thick ice and snow, and the dense forest has long disappeared. Only some low shrubs and weeds slowly extend to the snow line along their current position. After a certain distance, all the green completely disappears, only the bare land Ice and snow accumulated on the ground.

In winter, they are all covered with ice and snow, but now, they are only covered with waist high weeds and some slightly higher shrubs.

From now on, they have entered the real Kunlun mountain.

"Let's go there!"

Xu Shaotang moved his telescope away from him and pointed to the highest mountain. From the middle of the mountain, the mountain was covered with ice and snow. Even without the telescope, he could see a little white.

Xu Shaotang's idea is very simple. He stands high and looks far away. Only when he stands on the highest mountain can he see the situation around him.

Long Fei nodded and said, "good! Then let's speed up to the mountain

Without the shelter of the dense jungle, their speed is obviously much faster. Because PI Yongchun followed them, they didn't raise their speed to the fastest. Otherwise, PI Yongchun would not be able to keep up with them.

Although it seems that the distance between them and the highest mountain is not very far, when they really walk up, they find that the distance is far beyond their imagination.

Walking, Xu Shaotang suddenly stopped his steps, and then looked up at the gloomy sky above.

"What's the matter?" Long Fei also looked at the sky, the sky in addition to some gloomy, but there is no other abnormal.

Xu Shaotang looked at Long Fei and asked, "didn't you notice anything unusual?"

"No Long Fei shakes his head and looks at Xu Shaotang in a puzzled way. "What's unusual?" he asks

Xu Shaotang tightly frowned, puzzled and said: "since we saw the snow line, it seems that we have never met any living creatures?"

Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Long Fei and PI Yongchun were slightly stunned, then nodded their heads gently.

It should have been about two hours since they came out to see the snow line in the dense forest. Although Xu Shaotang and Long Fei deliberately pressed their own speed, compared with ordinary people, their speed is still very fast, at least tens of kilometers. Along the way, they really didn't see any creatures other than them.

Long Fei thought about it and asked, "is it because there are fewer creatures in places with higher altitudes?"

According to the normal theory, the higher the altitude, the worse the living conditions of organisms. They should have entered the high altitude area now. It seems reasonable to have fewer organisms.

Xu Shaotang shook his head and said, "even though there are few creatures, there are not many. You know, there are many wild animals in the forest behind us."

There are many creatures that can survive in high altitude areas. As far as Xu Shaotang knows, snow wolves, snow leopards and other beasts can survive in high altitude areas. In fact, some animals like antelopes can also survive in such conditions. What's more, the weeds on their way are abundant. In principle, they should be very suitable for some herbivores.

When they were puzzled, PI Yongchun said in a low voice: "instructor, I heard a legend, I don't know if it's true."

"Do you want to talk about the legend of the gate of hell?" Xu Shaotang looks at PI Yongchun and asks.

PI Yongchun nodded, embarrassed to Xu Shaotang smile, said: "the original instructor also know ah, then when I did not say good."

He thought that Xu Shaotang and Long Fei had never heard of the legend about the gate of hell, so he rashly mentioned it. However, since Xu Shaotang knew it, he had no need to say it again.

"The legend of the gate of hell should not be disbelieved, nor should it all be believed." Xu Shaotang said slowly: "I don't know what's going on here, so we have to be careful. I always feel that something is wrong."

Because of Xu Shaotang's words, their hearts began to be vigilant. Even so, their feet did not slow down. They just played a 12 point spirit and paid attention to every move around at any time.

After a long distance, they had come to the mountain. Just at this time, a smell of scorching suddenly came to them.

The three looked at each other and ran in the direction of the smell.

Soon, they came to the area of a canyon at the bottom of the mountain and found the source of the scorching smell.

What came into view were large areas of animal corpses, but none of them were complete. Some of them had only one head left, and some even had their heads blown open directly. The broken viscera and burnt blood could be seen everywhere, which seemed unspeakable bloody.Like these animals, this large area of land has not been spared. All of them have become scorched black. In many places, there is even a pit one or two meters deep. The scorched black land begins to spread from their feet and disappears at the end of their sight.

Xu Shaotang walked quickly to the body of the animal on the ground and squatted down to investigate carefully.

"Although there are burning marks on these bodies, they still look fresh. If I guess correctly, these animals were all killed in the thunderstorm two days ago." Looking at the incomplete body of a snow wolf, Xu Shaotang said solemnly: "it's hard to imagine how terrible the thunderstorm is that it can cause such a tragic scene..."

They can feel the power of thunderstorms in the capital, but when they really get to the Kunlun Mountains, they know how terrible the power of thunderstorms is.

Now he seems to understand why he can't see any animals along the way. It's estimated that many animals have died here. Even those who haven't died, I'm afraid they have to hide in the dense forest at low altitude because of great fright.

Long Fei picked up the telescope and looked into the distance along the place in front of him. On the flat ground where he could see, all of them were scorched black. From a distance, he could not see the end at all.

Long Fei put down his telescope and said slowly, "if according to your analysis, the thunderstorm concentrated area should be in this canyon. Shall we go in and have a look?"

Xu Shaotang stood up from the ground and looked at the blackened land in front of him from a distance. His eyes were firm and he said, "go, of course
