Chapter 327: A New Stage, the Wind Rises



Just now, a mutated white-headed sea cucumber escaped and survived. It might come and attack again, so we have to be careful.

Those white-headed sea cucumbers appeared seemingly silently. When he was attacked just now, his enhanced hearing only allowed him to hear the sound of breaking air nearby.

Fortunately, there are many sunken rock pits in this area, and there are many footholds, so there is no need to worry too much.

In this area, all the rocks are emitting a cold breath. Fortunately, as long as you don't enter the cave in the mountain, the outside temperature is still above minus fifty degrees Celsius, although it is a bit cold.

Continue climbing up.

The situation he expected, where the fleeing white-headed seagull would attack him, did not happen.

The pits around him were gradually decreasing, and he could feel that the temperature of the rock wall he was holding with his hands was slowly rising as he climbed upwards. Gradually, he no longer felt the cold.

The temperature of the rocks had risen to over fifty degrees below zero, and the surrounding temperature was no longer close to the limit that the snow fox scarf could withstand.

As time passed, the sun slowly rose in the sky, and its bright light shone on Xu Xin, making him even feel a hint of warmth.

The fog around began to thin, and seemed to be about to dissipate.

Not long after, Xu Xin grabbed the edge of a pit, exerted force with his arms, easily flipped in, and sat down.

He looked down.

Well, this should be about five or six hundred meters, right?

This road is so smooth.

Because the explosive crossbow he had just fired had triggered an avalanche, most of the snow had slid down, leaving only a small amount of remnants, making it much easier to climb than before.

He leaned over and looked up again.

He was already very close to the clouds.

This layer of clouds, which looks a bit thick, should be the clouds that caused snowfall at night these two days.

The bottom of the cloud layer was only about eight or nine hundred meters from the ground, very close. He only needed to climb another three hundred meters to enter the cloud layer.

And above the clouds is the peak of the giant peak.

Based on previous visual observations and the distance he climbed, this layer of cloud was estimated to be only about three or four hundred meters thick, not very thick.

After all, some cumulonimbus clouds can be several thousand meters or even more than ten kilometers thick. Compared with those clouds, the small cloud above Xu Xin's head is still a little weak, and it is also very white, and it seems that there is no danger.

Based on the thickness of the clouds and the height ratio of the giant peak protruding from the clouds, he was able to roughly calculate that the height of this giant peak should be between 1,500 and 1,800 meters.

In other words, he should have climbed one-third of the way now.

And the time had not even passed for two hours, and half of it was spent on exploring the cave and dealing with the white-headed seaweed.

There is plenty of time.

After replenishing his strength and condition, Xu Xin started climbing again.

After climbing up about another hundred meters, the surrounding environment has changed a lot.

All the holes where we could rest had disappeared. We continued to climb upwards. The rock wall was uneven, but there were no more holes where we could rest, so we had to climb up in one go.

It seems that we have entered the next stage.

The current altitude is about 700 meters.

In other words, he has passed the ultra-low temperature period of 300-700 meters and entered the next stage of climbing this snow peak.

And those white-headed seabirds just now were just a small episode, and perhaps they were not supposed to appear in the previous stage at all.

They were probably just remnants of the underground city. If he hadn't taken out the energy core fragments just now, perhaps those mutated white-headed sea butterflies wouldn't have been attracted out by him.

He did not rush to climb up, but looked up and began to observe the distance.

It was only about two hundred meters away from the bottom of the clouds.

The wind finally started to blow around us, and the fog began to flow with the wind.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong, just a breeze, which did not affect his safety while rock climbing.

"Huh?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and looked up about a hundred meters.

The mountain wall there actually bulged outward.

As far as he could see, at that height, the giant peak had a whole circle of rock walls protruding out.

It protrudes about one meter, like a balcony protruding from a high-rise building.

That neat circle feels a bit abrupt.

Is there a platform on top of it?

Is there something on top?

Treasure?

Xu Xin's eyes lit up.

The height there was about 800 meters. Based on the height he had just calculated, it was probably in the middle of the entire stone pillar peak! Maybe there really was something good there!

Xu Xin immediately became motivated. He took a deep breath, exerted force with his arms, and climbed up three meters in an instant.

He hadn't received an activity reward for a long time, and he was a little excited at the thought that he might get a reward with only a hundred meters left.

The body continued to climb upwards, and the wind speed around him gradually increased, but Xu Xin was not affected much. Instead, he felt a lot more relaxed, because the wind on the cliff, after being affected by the terrain, would form an updraft.

The rising air current lifted him upward, which actually made his arms feel a lot more relaxed.

Not bad, there is actually wind help.

He continued to climb upwards, and when he was about forty or fifty meters away from the protruding platform, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

It's not because the wind is stronger, but because...

He seemed to hear some sound coming from the platform above!

Looking up, Xu Xin listened carefully.

Because of the wind around, the sound above was not clear.

After climbing up about ten meters, the sounds in his ears gradually became clearer. Xu Xin's expression became more and more solemn, and he stopped climbing completely.

There is really movement up there!

There's a strange sound!

It sounded like something was rubbing against the stone wall.

It's a living creature!

Moreover, there are a lot of them, because this kind of sound can be heard from various locations on this circle of raised rock walls!

Xu Xin doesn't think that this creature appearing in the sky would be any good!

Could it be that...

Just as Xu Xin was nervously guessing, suddenly, there was a chaotic commotion from above.

Then, the scene in front of him made his eyes widen!

Suddenly, a big bird with its wings spread jumped out from the raised steps!

This big bird was covered in black-gray feathers, and its wingspan of more than four meters even blocked out the sunlight for a moment!

Covering the sun with clouds!

This bird is so big!
