Yi Chen thought that he did not have similar abilities. With tangled thoughts, he wanted to embarrass Putuomir and said:
"Don't be complacent, you are just a blind cat who bumped into a dead mouse. The plateaus and snow-capped mountains are not just in the Shambhala Basin. There are more plateaus and snow-capped mountains in Qianfeng Valley, so another cloud-toothed leopard may also escape to Qianfeng. Go toward the valley!"
Putuomel smiled and said nothing. She understood Yi Chen's thoughts. Women should not be stronger than men. Once a woman becomes stronger than a man, it will easily arouse the man's resistance.
When she was at the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Yoru Empire, Putuo Mel was often ostracized by male scientists because she was a woman but had outstanding scientific abilities. Even if she was a princess of the Yoru Empire, it would not change the way men treat women. Inherent bias.
When Yi Chen saw Putuo Mel smiling and saying nothing, he felt that he was being looked down upon and asked angrily:
"Putmir, what's wrong? Do you think I was wrong?"
Putuomeier had her own pride. When she saw Yi Chen being so aggressive, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She simply stopped pretending and wanted to convince Yi Chen. She said in a clear and logical manner:
"Yi Chen, what you said is also possible, but the probability of it happening is very small. Because Qianfeng Valley is connected to Xunmengze, and there are various animals in Xunmengze, which can fully meet the hunting needs of cloud-toothed leopards, so they There is no need to go to Lingxi Gorge to occupy territory that you don’t like. In this case, the probability of the two cloud-toothed leopards coming from the Shambhala Basin is greatest. When we came out of Taoyuan Cave just now, I found that Shambhala When you see that there is nothing in the La Basin, you can completely understand the reason why the cloud-toothed leopards went to Lingxi Gorge, they can’t find food here at all.”
Yi Chen finally understood the meaning of Putuomeier's words, "So that's how it is." He admired Putuomeier's interlocking logical reasoning ability and was so impressed that he suddenly felt relieved.
"Damn it, I was so jealous just now! There are many women who are better than me. Chang Meng on Earth has always studied better than me since childhood. Avril's optical brain ability is even better than me. Saintess Ai Lan’s pure fighting ability seems to be better than mine!”
Yi Chen laughed heartily and said:
"Hahaha, Putuomel, I'm sorry! Hehehe, I was a little jealous of you just now, so I deliberately found fault with you. Come on, Putuomel, just hit me a few times. It's my fault for you. Apologize!"
Yi Chen smiled and leaned towards Putuo Mel.
Putuomeier did not hit Yi Chen, she just pushed Yi Chen and laughed together with Yi Chen.
A small friction between the two disappeared in an instant, and their relationship became one step closer than before.
Most of the Shambhala Basin is flat, with only occasional slight ups and downs. Yi Chen and Putuo Mel quickly walked out of it, and then climbed over two mountain ridges, Altay Ridge and Mount Kiliboqi, to come. Arrive at the foot of Yegla Peak.
Standing in front of Yegla Peak, you can better understand its extraordinary nature. The bottom is covered with lush coniferous forests, and the middle and upper parts are covered with snow. The cone-shaped mountain reaches straight into the sky, gradually becomes thinner from bottom to top, and finally submerges above the clouds. , like a giant holding the sky, standing among the mountains of Tianji Plateau.
"Buzhou Mountain in Earth's legend is probably nothing more than this!"
Yi Chen admired, took a deep breath, and then called Putuomel to climb from the mountain pass along the rugged slopes toward the heights of Yegla Peak.
Since no one had ever been to Yegla Peak, the coniferous forest floor on the hillside was covered with moss and various ferns and was very slippery. They had to be careful every step they took.
Yi Chen and Putuo Mel focused on the road under their feet, with only their own breathing and the occasional chirping of birds in their ears. As the altitude increased, the air became thinner and thinner, and their breathing became slightly heavier.
However, Yi Chen and Putuomeier did not stop climbing the mountain and continued to move forward steadily. On the way they encountered a clear mountain spring, which fell from the rocks and formed a small waterfall. The two stopped by the mountain spring and used the cool and sweet spring water to moisturize their thirsty throats and wash away the sweat and dirt on their faces. This short rest replenished the two of them with strength and continued climbing.
As time went by, the mountain became steeper and steeper. Yi Chen and Putuomel had to drag branches, vines or rocks in the mountain to climb up. Their clothes were wet with sweat, but neither of them shouted. Even if you are tired, you all understand that only by persevering can you finally reach the top of Yegla.
When Yi Chen and Putuomel crossed a cliff and completely escaped from the coniferous forest, their eyes suddenly opened up. A rare alpine grassland actually appeared. Among the sparse snow, there were widespread withered yellow lichens and deep dark lichen. green moss.
This piece of plateau grassland had very little undulations and was quite flat, which amazed Yi Chen and Putuo Mel.
After walking inward along the plateau grassland for almost a kilometer, we saw the obvious mountain topography again. There were countless large and small hills and canyons, extending towards the higher sky. They were all covered with ice and snow.
Yi Chen and Putuo Mel were not in a hurry to climb. They had never seen such a situation where plateau grassland appeared on a high mountain and then turned into a typical mountain topography. They had to figure it out.
It took me some time to learn something about it. This plateau grassland is a bit like a ring, and the center of the ring is the starting point of the new mountain topography.
In other words, the cone-shaped Yegla Peak suddenly shrunk halfway up the mountain, forming a plateau grassland platform that supported the upper part of the mountain. It's a bit like bamboo, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. Each section is connected, and the plateau grassland is equivalent to a node.
At this moment, Yi Chen and Putuo Mel were standing on the plateau grass. They took another step forward and stepped on the upper part of Yegla Peak. The two looked up, and the cold wind blew on their faces. A steep ridge was covered with dead white. It's shrouded in fog, and I don't know what risks are hidden inside.
Yi Chen and Putuo Mel understood that no matter what risks there were on the road ahead, they must persevere until they reach the top of Yegla. The two of them were persevering to leave Arcturus, and the other was sparing no effort to save the Yoru Empire. At this time, they looked at each other and took steps without hesitation to start a new climbing journey.
The weather on the snow-capped mountains is changeable. Shortly after Yi Chen and Putuo Mel set foot on the ridge, a strong wind came up, and the whistling sound was a bit scary.
The upper part of Yegla Peak was covered with ice and snow that had lasted for thousands of years. Although the strong wind had blown away the white dead fog, it also brought up snowflakes flying all over the sky.
Those snowflakes easily blocked the sight of Yi Chen and Putuo Mel, making it difficult for the two to tell the way.
l"Putuo Mel, be careful and stay close to me!"
This ridge is three to five meters wide and about forty degrees steeper. There are cliffs on both sides. If you don't pay attention and fall, you will definitely die. Yi Chen is a little worried about Putuomir and warns him.
"Okay... okay... okay, I... I... I know!"
Putuo Mel gasped in response, his voice was not loud, and he looked exhausted.
For Putuomel, being able to climb here has exceeded her previous limit. She relies entirely on her unyielding will to persist, and that will is that she must save the Yoru Empire.
Yi Chen heard the strangeness in Putuo Mel's voice and looked back.
They saw Putuomeier's whole body wrapped in thick fur clothes, only a pair of big blue eyes were exposed. She was hunched over as close to the snow on the ridge as possible, moving forward inch by inch. Every time she moved forward, her hands and feet moved forward. It's shaking non-stop, and when the wind blows, the body will sway a little.
Yi Chen realized that the situation was a little bad, Putuo Mel's physical energy was exhausted!
Although Putuomel's eyes were firm, it didn't help. His body was out of control, and it was useless no matter how strong his will was!
Yi Chen reached out and grabbed Putuomel's collar, pulled her towards him, and shouted loudly:
"Putuo Mel, if you hold on just a little longer, we will soon reach the top of Yegla! Next, you have to walk in front of me. If there is any danger, I will find out and save you as soon as possible! Hahaha, Putuo Mel, you promised me everything, I can’t bear to have anything happen to you here!”
While Yi Chen was talking, he touched Putuomel's waist a few times with his hands.
This is not Yi Chen taking advantage of Putuo Mel, but using crude jokes to stimulate Putuo Mel's potential. Hormones are a good medicine to stimulate the potential of intelligent creatures.
Putuomeier was a little angry at first, and then she understood Yi Chen's intention. Her heart warmed, and she turned around and glanced at Yi Chen with a grateful look. Finally, her body seemed to be suddenly filled with a new energy, and she continued to hold up the sky. The wind and snow are heading towards the top of Yegla.
During the subsequent climb, Yi Chen took good care of Putuomel and brought Putuomel back from the brink of death several times. If it weren't for Yi Chen, Putuomeier would have slipped and fallen off a cliff when he was halfway to the ridge.
"Click, click, click!"
Yi Chen and Putuo Mel moved slowly on the snow-covered ridge one after another, like two wriggling little snakes. They had to test and be cautious every time they took a step forward.
after an hour.
"Ah, Yi...Yi Chen, I...we are here, ha...hahaha!"
Putuomeier, who had been gritting her teeth and persisting, became a little blurry. A large flat and wide platform suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she thought she had reached the top of Yegla.
Although Yi Chen was a little tired, he was conscious.
Climbing a height of more than 10,000 meters would not exhaust Yi Chen's physical strength.
This is not the top of Yegla at all, but a secondary mountain top closest to the top of Yegla.
The bamboo-like Yegla Peak gradually becomes thinner from bottom to top, and is connected section by section to form this magnificent peak that is 10,000 meters high.
The flat and wide platform where Yi Chen and Putuo Mel are now is the last node of Yegla Peak. Four to five hundred meters further up is the real top of Yegla.
