Keeping the feather inside his jacket, Shen Cheng and his group quickly went down the mountain. They only found a suitable place to stay when it was completely dark.
Because no alien civilization device was found, Shen Cheng was worried all the way.
Although the speed of going down the mountain will be faster, the difficulty will also increase exponentially. Going down from Mount Everest is dangerous enough in itself, and coupled with the cold wind blowing down from the top of the mountain, as long as one does not stand firmly, he will probably be blown down the mountain directly, quickly reaching the bottom of the mountain and starting his life all over again.
Tonight, unlike usual, the cold wind showed no signs of stopping even at night, and even seemed to be getting stronger. The snow dust was getting thicker and thicker, even to the point of seriously affecting vision.
When sleeping and resting, the night watch team members are fully focused and dare not blink, for fear of missing something.
It was not until midnight that the night watchman wrapped himself up and suddenly noticed something, his eyes fixed.
In front of them, they saw a figure slowly walking towards them. His steps were very stiff and slow, which looked a bit awkward.
Are you a climber?
Is anyone still hiking at this time of year? Or hiking at night in this weather?
The night watch team immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly woke up Shen Cheng and others: "Hurry up, wake up, there's something wrong!"
Gu Xiangyu shuddered and quickly jumped out of the sleeping bag. When he saw the figure walking slowly in the snow, he also felt something strange.
"The person in front, don't go any further!" Gu Xiangyu shouted tentatively, lowering his voice.
The figure remained unmoved and continued forward.
Didn't hear?
Gu Xiangyu was about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He turned his head and saw Shen Cheng pressing his shoulders, shaking his head solemnly.
Turning his gaze back to the figure, Shen Cheng discovered that every time the figure took a step, his heart palpitated and the hairs all over his body stood up.
This throbbing did not come from Xinlin, but entirely from Chen Cheng himself, making Chen Cheng subconsciously alert.
It's like... facing a natural enemy.
As the figure moved forward step by step, its specific shape was revealed to everyone.
——He was over two meters tall, with slightly slender limbs, and his arms hung directly down to his knees. He didn't look like a human at all, but a weird...monster.
Because they were surrounded by a huge snow dust, everyone could only see the dark shape of this thing and could not see its specific appearance at all.
"Did we encounter a snow monster? His arms are so long, is he the reincarnation of Liu Bei?" Gu Xiangyu twitched the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but complain.
“Heh…heh…”
Suddenly, the thing stopped, slowly raised its head, and made a very harsh sound, as if something was rubbing against it.
"If there's a problem, get ready for battle!"
Shen Cheng suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and growled at the same time.
Even Chen Cheng himself didn't realize that in the depths of his heart, there was an inexplicable sense of unease that continued to spread and grow...
When Liusu and the members of the Wolf Team heard Shen Cheng's voice, they all took out their daggers and faced the monster as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, the monster stopped looking up, and everyone felt that the monster's gaze was completely fixed on this side.
The next moment, two dazzling red lights lit up from the monster's head, piercing through the monster's shadow and the snow dust in front of it. It was as if a switch was turned on, and the monster suddenly rushed up at an extremely fast speed, even leaving an afterimage!
It's completely different from the slow-moving thing just now!
"spread!"
"boom!!"
The crowd dispersed in different directions. The monster swung its arms as it rushed forward and suddenly struck the place where the crowd had just been. In an instant, everyone felt a vibration under their feet, and countless piles of snow were shaken high into the sky. Shen Cheng even faintly heard the sound of ice breaking, which shows how powerful this monster is.
At this time, everyone also saw the true face of the monster.
Its general shape is similar to that of a primate, but this monster's face and body are covered with thick ice, even its hands. Only the ice at the joints of its arms and legs is cracked, revealing the red flesh underneath.
Red skin?
Looking at the color below, which was like the skinned flesh of a human body, Shen Cheng felt a chill in his heart.
Why does this thing appear on the snow mountain?
Is it related to the giant bird skeleton on the top of the mountain?
Could it be related to an alien civilization device?
Glancing towards the top of the mountain, Shen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no signs of an avalanche. He instructed, "We can't let this thing run around any more. Find a way to restrict its movements!"
"yes!"
Gu Xiangyu gripped the dagger tightly, took the lead, swung the dagger and chopped up.
"clang--"
There was a buzzing sound coming from his hand, and the tiger's mouth vibrated violently, causing Gu Xiangyu to be bounced back and his upper body involuntarily leaned back.
The monster dodged Gu Xiangyu's attack and chopped off the exposed skin at its joints. It used the hardness of its body to block Gu Xiangyu's dagger and immediately shook Gu Xiangyu away.
This thing still has combat awareness?!
Just as Gu Xiangyu was stunned, the monster shook his shoulders, moved his arms, and swung towards Gu Xiangyu with a hurricane!
The strength of this monster is terrifying enough in itself. When you consider the ice that has existed on its arm for who knows how many years, I'm afraid this blow can send Gu Xiangyu directly to paradise!
“Drink!”
"Bang!"
Da Wu, the burly team member who had been teased by his teammates before, rushed up and hit the monster's chest hard with his Iron Mountain Backkick, causing the monster to take two steps back. There were even some cracks in the ice on its chest.
The two men knew when to stop and immediately retreated, looking at each other.
"It seems you didn't eat in vain!"
Gu Xiangyu patted Da Wu's shoulder cheerfully, causing Da Wu to grimace: "Captain, stop patting me, it hurts!"
"Don't confront this monster head-on. The vibrations from the collision are very likely to trigger an avalanche!"
Yu Lan took over the battle and began to give orders: "Control this monster first. Chen Cheng, find an opportunity to use your fire ability to see if you can melt the ice on it!"
“Hehe——”
The monster roared again, but its head was covered with a layer of ice, and the sound did not seem to come from the monster's mouth.
The two members of the Wolf Team took advantage of the gap in Gu Xiangyu's attack to find a good position, and at the same time threw the mountaineering hook towards the monster, and hooked it firmly around the monster's waist.
Two more members of the Wolf Team swung their hooks, stood in two other positions, and hooked the monster again.
"Officer Shen, hurry!"
