The next day, everyone went about their own business.
Wang Bing brought the camera, intending to film with Wang Qin. Dong Yujue took Xia Yue to find some plants that might be suitable for making cakes, and Xiao Meng followed them. Xiao Hei and Ou Huang accompanied Wang Bing and Wang Qin; they were also among Wang Bing's filming subjects.
Chen Yang and Li Su'er then prepared to climb a small snow-capped peak nearby.
The Cang'er Snow Mountain has eight peaks, the shortest of which is equivalent to more than 5,000 meters above sea level, and it is impossible for them to climb now.
However, the Cang'er Snow Mountain stretches for tens of kilometers, and there are many small snow peaks nearby. This time, they planned to climb one of them. This snow peak is not high, nor is it very steep. There is not even much snow. There are many exposed rock sections, so climbing it is not difficult. A round trip in one day is very easy.
This trip to Cang'er Snow Mountain is mainly for vacation; finding resources is secondary. Climbing the snow peaks together with Li Su'er is a great option.
Chen Yang had always maintained a habit of traveling. He was inherently a restless person who always wanted to travel and see new and interesting things. He had been to snow-capped mountains, but those were just scenic spots. He had never actually climbed a snow-capped mountain, as most snow-capped mountains are now off-limits to climbers.
Since acquiring the Microverse, Chen Yang has rarely traveled in the real world, because there are many unknown places in the Microverse that he has not yet explored. Moreover, the Microverse is more beautiful than the real world, because it is completely free of pollution and artificial traces.
The eight snow-capped peaks of Cang'er Snow Mountain are incredibly beautiful. The mountain's rugged, knife-cut-like shape exudes a sense of desolation and is simply too beautiful.
However, climbing snow-capped mountains now would be suicidal for them, so they should be more realistic and just climb the small snow-capped peaks in front of them.
This small snow-capped peak is mostly covered with bluish-gray rocks, with only a small portion covered by white snow. However, the top has a layer of white snow that looks like a hat, which is quite interesting.
It was too difficult to move forward on the soft snow, so when they came, they made two simple snow boots out of branches and tied them to their shoes to increase the contact area.
When they reached the mountainside, the two found a natural boulder platform and used the firewood they had brought to start a fire and roast meat. The venison from yesterday was still very fresh in the low temperature, and they carried a large piece of venison as their meal.
The snow here is very clean, so you can just melt it directly into water without worrying about the water source. Moreover, tea brewed with snow water has a unique flavor.
"It's so beautiful," Li Su'er exclaimed as she sipped her Pu'er tea and gazed at the snow-covered world before her.
"It's a bit higher up here, we can see Nightbrook now," Chen Yang said, pointing into the distance.
If they could climb higher, they might be able to see the Xindu Camp. After several expansions, the Xindu Camp now covers a considerable area and could be seen even without Eagle Eye. However, the height of this small snow-capped peak is clearly insufficient.
In the afternoon, they finally reached the top of the snow-capped peak.
Li Su'er took out a small flag with a piece of deerskin attached to it.
"Haha, I'm the first one to climb this mountain. I'm going to name it Little Peak."
This little flag is quite suitable for planting on the small snow-capped peak. The summit of this snow-capped peak is not large, only enough to accommodate one person's fighting strength, which matches the little flag well.
"Um?"
Chen Yang suddenly heard a noise, so he took a few steps forward and looked at the other side of the mountain.
Upon seeing this, his expression immediately changed.
A bear is running towards him; this bear has long limbs and runs very fast.
Chen Yang recognized the bear at a glance; it was an extinct prehistoric animal—the giant short-faced bear.
He was able to recognize it because Ongji said that the animal that injured the mammoth was likely a giant short-faced bear, so he specifically looked up information about giant short-faced bears.
The giant short-faced bear is a top-tier bear, the largest bear species. It is stronger than the polar bear in terms of both weight and strength, and its fighting power is incredibly terrifying. It can even hunt mammoths.
"Su'er, a bear is coming towards us. Go back quickly, I'll distract it," Chen Yang said hurriedly.
Li Su'er's expression changed as well. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Yang said, "Don't worry about me. Even if I can't win, I can still escape. Besides, you know my abilities. Your presence here will distract me. Hurry up, there's no time."
They were indeed running out of time. The giant short-faced bear let out a roar, the sound of which was very close.
Li Su'er nodded, hugged Chen Yang, and said, "I'll go back and find someone to help you. You must be careful and don't kick the bucket. Although you can be resurrected in three days, the taste of death must be unpleasant."
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'm Yang from outer space."
After saying that, he pulled out one of the only two weapons he had on him: a throwing knife. The other was a tenacious blade; he hadn't brought many weapons with him this time.
Li Su'er turned and ran down the mountain. When she looked back, Chen Yang had already run in another direction and picked up a few stones to throw at the bear, which angered it.
Li Su'er was very anxious. She knew Chen Yang was powerful, but compared to a bear, even the most powerful human was limited, unless they possessed firearms. She sat down on the snow and slid for a while. Now she actually hated having so many rocks; if it were all snow, she could slide down directly and pull the rescuer over much faster.
Chen Yang also began to sprint.
He was already quite fast, but compared to the giant short-faced bear, he was far behind. Fortunately, this was mountainous terrain, so he couldn't go much faster. Chen Yang's wolf-like bloodline played a huge role at this time.
He leaped among the rocks with incredible agility, and the giant short-faced bear couldn't keep up with him for a while. To prevent the giant short-faced bear from turning back to chase Li Su'er, he would occasionally throw stones.
After running along the snow-capped peak in another direction for about a minute, Chen Yang still hadn't shaken off the giant short-faced bear, but Li Su'er was safe.
The next section of the road was all flat, which was not good news for Chen Yang. Trying to race a bear on flat ground was really asking for trouble.
With a determined look, Chen Yang turned around abruptly, his Eagle Eyes locking onto the giant short-faced bear charging towards him, and without hesitation, he threw the throwing knife in his hand.
His knife was fast and steady; without any hesitation, he threw it out with maximum speed and force, and the knife flew towards the giant short-faced bear.
However, the giant short-faced bear was running, and Chen Yang was not the infallible Li Xunhuan (a famous Chinese flying dagger). He originally aimed at the bear's face, but only hit the giant short-faced bear's shoulder.
The giant short-faced bear cried out in pain, unable to stop its momentum, and rolled down.
Chen Yang was overjoyed to see that although his throwing knife had not hit the face, it had struck the shoulder. He then drew his stubborn blade, intending to press his advantage.
Unexpectedly, the giant short-faced bear rolled onto a patch of snow and slowed down, eventually crashing into a rock and stopping its momentum.
"roar!!!"
The giant short-faced bear roared and smashed the boulder into several pieces with a single slap. The throwing knife on its shoulder was still there, but it only caused it to bleed and was not seriously injured.
Chen Yang glanced at the cracked boulder, decisively backed down, and turned to run.
If you don't run now, do you want to become a corpse and spend the New Year with the giant short-faced bear?
