"The wind up there is really strong, we have to be careful." Lu Yuan stopped and shouted to the people behind him.
Just as Lu Yuan finished speaking, he heard a series of "rat-a-tat-tat" sounds coming from above, as if several rifles were firing at the hilltop in the distance.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Someone's firing shots over there?" Xiwen immediately shrank back, asking with a look of terror.
No sooner had he finished speaking than another series of thuds rang out. Only then did everyone realize that it wasn't the sound of bullets hitting the mountaintop, but rather the sound of ice chunks being blown by the crosswind and crashing against the rocks on the mountaintop, scattering snow and ice all over the ground.
