By the afternoon, braving the biting cold wind, the group finally arrived under a layer of ice that had been shaved off.
Hiding under the ice, the wind died down immediately. Dr. Xiaoliang waved his hand and said, "Build a ladder!"
The climbing ladder was taken out, and the bottom was firmly embedded in the ice on the snow. Two Wolf Team members held the bottom of the ladder, and Gu Xiangyu took the lead in climbing up the ladder.
The length of the ladder was just enough to climb onto the ice. Gu Xiangyu climbed onto the ice, confirmed that there was no problem, then turned his head downward and made an OK gesture.
Yu Lan, Chen Cheng and others then began to climb the stairs.
There is not a trace of wind at the top of Mount Everest, it is very quiet. Looking down the mountain from here, countless clouds are floating and the sun is shining on the snow on the surface of Mount Everest, which is extremely spectacular and beautiful.
"We've reached the summit!"
Before Chen Cheng and the others could say anything, Ling Xue and Xi Ming on the other end of the communication line laughed and cheered, which made Chen Cheng's face smile.
When he turned his head and looked at the ice layer carefully again, Shen Cheng's expression froze.
The surface of the ice layer was very smooth, as if it had been cut by a knife. The skeleton of the giant bird was not completely hidden under the ice layer, nor was it completely exposed outside the ice layer. Instead, half of it was embedded in the ice layer and half was exposed to the air.
When he really got closer to take a look, Shen Cheng finally felt the enormity of this giant bird!
Even if only half of it was exposed, the skeleton was still taller than Shen Cheng himself. A huge sense of oppression came over Shen Cheng, causing him to feel a little scared.
This is just a skeleton without any life!
Yu Lan has already started leading people to look for collectible samples. Chen Cheng came back to his senses and suddenly remembered the alien civilization device, and began to search around.
Xinlin didn't give me, Chen Cheng, any guidance after that night. Now Chen Cheng feels that there is a high possibility that the alien civilization device is hidden in this place.
According to the alien civilization devices that Shen Cheng had come into contact with, those alien civilization devices all had one thing in common - they all had a blue crystal-like substance.
Chen Cheng felt that it should be something similar to energy, which is necessary to drive the devices of alien civilizations.
Unfortunately, Shen Cheng looked around, but couldn't find anything that looked strange, let alone a blue crystal.
There has been no movement from Xinlin until now.
Not here?
Shen Cheng felt a little anxious. If it wasn't here, where would he go to find it when Mount Everest was so big?
"Chen Cheng, we have already collected the samples, there is no need to look for them anymore." Yu Lan came over and thought that Chen Cheng was also helping to find samples that could be collected, so she raised the bag in her hand and said.
In the bag was a small piece of bone. It was not knocked off with any tools, but they had taken great pains to dig it out of the ice. It was just this small piece.
After all, the bones are embedded in the ice. If you knock them rashly, it will cause an avalanche, which will be troublesome.
"It's getting dark. Let's get down the mountain quickly and try to rest at a lower altitude. We'll try to climb down the mountain in one go tomorrow, and then we can report back."
After hearing Yu Lan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great that we were able to complete the task so smoothly...
Shen Cheng secretly clenched his fists, but his face remained expressionless: "Well, let's go down the mountain."
After saying that, Shen Cheng turned around.
Just as Shen Cheng turned around, he suddenly caught sight of a very inconspicuous place on the ice with his peripheral vision. There, a blue light suddenly flashed.
Shen Cheng paused and suddenly turned his gaze towards the place where the blue light was flashing.
"Chen Cheng, what's wrong with you?" Liu Su was stunned by Chen Cheng's actions.
Shen Cheng didn't say anything, but walked forward quickly and glanced back and forth at that place, but didn't find anything unusual.
illusion?
Shen Cheng didn't want to believe it. After carefully recalling it, he found a place to squat down.
"It should be here."
Muttering, Shen Cheng placed his hand on the ice.
"Chen Cheng, what are you doing?" Dr. Xiaoliang was also a little confused.
Yu Lan didn't say anything, just watched Shen Cheng's actions. No matter what Shen Cheng did, she chose to believe Shen Cheng and stand on Shen Cheng's side.
Shen Cheng's mind moved, his eyes flashed, and a raging flame immediately burned in his palm, starting to burn the ice.
After Meng Nian's laws were completed, Shen Cheng found that the power of his ability to control the five elements had also increased significantly.
From only being able to create a small flame between the hands, the entire hand can now be burning with blazing flames.
Unfortunately, the gold element's ability still cannot turn stone into gold.
Under Shen Cheng's scorching heat, the ice layer slowly melted, but after all, it was solid ice that had existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so the melting speed was extremely slow.
Seeing Chen Cheng's serious expression, everyone fell silent, watching him roasting the piece of ice silently. They had already guessed in their hearts that Chen Cheng might have discovered something very important.
As time slowly passed, beads of sweat slowly appeared on Shen Cheng's forehead, and his mind was a little dazed, but Shen Cheng still gritted his teeth and persevered.
This constant activation of supernatural powers has a huge impact on mental strength.
After an unknown amount of time, the ice layer had sunk visibly. Chen Cheng had a splitting headache several times. Just when Chen Cheng was about to bite the tip of his tongue to wake himself up, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his palm.
Shen Cheng was shocked and quickly withdrew his hand. The flame on his hand dissipated in an instant.
I saw an ice-blue feather lying quietly in the small pit created by the roasting of Shen Cheng.
The feather was not big, about the same size as a goose feather. Shen Cheng was sure that his flames must have burned the feather just now, but the feather seemed to be unharmed.
Chen Cheng fell down on the ice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped for breath, and felt extremely disappointed.
Unfortunately, it's not an alien civilization device...
Yu Lan and Dr. Xiao Liang were extremely surprised.
Yu Lan walked forward, carefully picked up the feather, and pointed it at the sun. The sunlight shone through the ice-blue feather, reflecting a faint icy glow, which was very beautiful.
“It’s actually a feather…”
Feathers like this are much more valuable than those fossils.
Chen Cheng looked at the feather in Yu Lan's hand, then at the huge skeleton not far away, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you sure this feather belongs to this giant bird?"
Compared to this, this feather is too shabby, isn't it?
Yu Lan shook her head. "The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. The fact that bird feathers would appear in a place like this is incredible enough. We'll have to go back and analyze the specific situation before we can draw a conclusion."
After that, Yu Lan took out a small sealed bag, put the feather in it, and handed it to Chen Cheng: "This is the feather you found. I give it to you for safekeeping. It is very important. Please make sure to protect it."
