Originally, the route from the North Slope Base Camp to the Transit Camp was a gently rising gravel slope, about 10.5 kilometers long. From the transition camp to the advance camp, we gradually enter the East Rongbuk Glacier. This section is very spectacular because it passes through a forest of large and small seracs, and the distance is about nine kilometers. There is no mountain climbing feeling from the base camp to the advance camp. It is more like a high-altitude hike, where you can enjoy the scenery and adapt to the altitude while walking.
It can be said to be the most leisurely period of climbing on the North Slope.
As a country bumpkin from the warm Sichuan land, I originally planned to enjoy this magical and beautiful scenery and quietly be a handsome man.
However, from the moment he stepped out of the base camp, he felt keenly the prying eyes. As he got closer and closer to Mount Everest, there were more and more looks like this. Finally, less than 4 kilometers away from the transitional camp, they stood out without concealing themselves.
This is a group of wolves.
Big trouble.
[Wolf], lv4 Japanese wolf.
Qualities: Sensitive sense of smell, cold subtype, breath attack, alertness, improved initiative, improved trip.
This group of gray-white creatures, one meter tall at the shoulders and up to two meters long, are excellent predators. Ignoring hail, rain and snow, they patrol their territory vigilantly. When they find prey traveling alone, they gather their companions and then launch a sneak attack silently.
However, if this is just the case, it is not enough to make Wang Yuanheng feel that it is so difficult.
After all, if professionals can have templates like monsters or followers, then Wang Yuanheng is confident that no matter how he himself is at the leader level, it is not impossible for him to be at the overlord level!
Therefore, a measly Japanese wolf is not enough to put much pressure on him, even if this place is already close to 6,000 meters above sea level, even helicopters cannot reach it, and the air is so thin that the propellers can no longer provide enough power to the aircraft!
And where does the trouble come from? Because while creatures like wolves hunt collectively, they often appear as servants of another monster!
Yes, it's a servant!
Who dares to use these terrifying predators? There is no doubt that it is the lord of the ice field - the winter wolf!
Only winter wolves can make the Japanese wolves give up their habit of sneak attacks and instead let out howls of victory like they are doing now in the biting cold wind. After hearing such a howl, the original hope of the prey will disappear, because they know that no creature can escape the pursuit of the Lord of the Icefield.
A wisp of white appears in the field of vision. In this snowy and windy polar region, amidst the devout praise of the wolves, this wisp of white seems to reveal a kind of sanctity. A huge creature, one meter six tall at the shoulders and three meters long, slowly walked out.
Even though it weighs more than 300 kilograms, this winter wolf is like a white ghost, quietly passing by the wolves and standing at the front, looking down at Wang Yuanheng from a height.
Its terrifying face had a pair of dissimilar eyes, full of wit and cunning. From this alone, Wang Yuanheng knew that the legendary winter wolves were extremely intelligent and what they said was true.
"Human, this is not a place you should set foot in. This is your last warning."
With a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes, the winter wolf still spoke. Winter wolves are first and foremost survivors. In cold areas lacking signs of life, they remain hungry forever and rely on constant hunting to maintain their lives. If the prey shows even the slightest trace, it will be continuously tracked and tortured by them until it is completely conquered, and then torn into pieces and swallowed.
Wang Yuanheng was a little shocked. Of course, I am not surprised that winter wolves can speak. This is not surprising. As magical creatures whose intelligence is not weaker than that of humans, winter wolves can not only speak, but also generally master at least two foreign languages. Wang Yuanheng was surprised that this formidable creature, which never stopped hunting its prey, was willing to let him go!
What could make a winter wolf give up the prey that is right in front of him?
Needless to say, Wang Yuanheng's action had a special meaning. Even if it didn't, Winter Wolf's abnormal behavior made it impossible for him to retreat with peace of mind!
Without answering Winter Wolf's words, Wang Yuanheng directly called out weapons and armor. This was the most vivid response!
Faint spots of light flickered around, the power of the sun gathered around, and then the body emitted bright flames.
[Sun Flame Protection]!
This warm flame is the biggest provocation to the winter wolf. Because, no matter what color the winter wolf's fur is, it is extremely immune to cold attacks, but the fur is weak to fire, so this kind of thing is unavoidable, so they are very sensitive to flames.
Accompanied by a burst of angry howling, the bobo wolves ran wildly, and they would definitely kill this stupid prey that dared to provoke the great winter wolf.
[The brute force of cattle]!
A burst of red light flashed, and Wang Yuanheng felt his muscles tighten and his strength increase greatly.
This excellent level spell greatly enhanced Wang Yuanheng's [Strength], allowing Wang Yuanheng to gain two points of attribute bonus. In fact, from the transaction content of Yasileduo, Wang Yuanheng also obtained many spells, especially [Bear's Patience], hehe, but he hasn't learned this yet.
[Warlord Tactics·Powerful Strike]!
[Warlord Tactics·Steel Monsoon]!
With a loud shout, Wang Yuanheng faced the charging wolves without fear, leaped forward, and whizzed down with the decapitating sword held high. And a white light flashed on the sword blade, and it actually split a Japanese wolf in half from the head!
At the same time, an invisible wave spread out, and the surrounding wolves felt a panic, with a trace of hesitation flashing in their eyes. However, Wang Yuanheng didn't care what his opponents thought. He rushed wildly into the wolves, launched a storm-like offensive, and swept across with sword light. There were Japanese wolves whose heads were missing, or whose blood was spattered everywhere. Fly away.
Finally, a Japanese wolf sneaked up from behind and broke through the effect of the ring of mist. It couldn't wait to open its big mouth and planned to have a close contact with Wang Yuanheng. But as soon as it got close, it felt a hot breath, then screamed and rolled to the side, and there was a smell of barbecue in its mouth.
Another rapid howl! The winter wolf did not hide his anger and began to scold these servants, expressing his dissatisfaction with their incompetence.
The wolves began to retreat. Of course, it's not that they want to escape, but that they urgently need to prove their abilities after facing the leader's scolding. However, wolves are always good at team fighting, so they will regroup before attacking.
However, this time, they will go completely crazy and fight to the death!
Taking this opportunity, Wang Yuanheng quickly made preparations. He quickly added the Ghost Face Technique and the Golden Light Spell, and added a [Demonized Weapon] (yellow) to the decapitation sword. Seeing the Wolves charging again, he began to prepare the last spell.
