Chapter 427 Mirror Forest

At this moment, the snowy mountain was filled with mist, and the snow and wind were blowing again. In the endless snow and wind, a heroic girl with a determined face, turned her back to me, and walked slowly to the top of the mountain alone.

I was stunned and stared at her back for a long time.

The words she just said kept ringing in my ears.

"I must get this snow lotus flower. Even if there are thousands of troops in front of me, I will never retreat!"

She said this sentence very resolutely, and while speaking, there was a determination in her eyes that ordinary people could not understand.

Then, she spoke again: "If anything happens to me, let him collect my body!"

Compared with her previous determination, a complex look flashed across her eyes when she said this, and her voice was full of sadness.

"This girl..." I looked at her back and was speechless for a long time.

Because at this moment, I didn't know how to describe her.

I think I have met many women, but no one is as resolute and determined as her.

And no one is as... heroic as her.

Especially at that moment just now, my heartstrings seemed to be plucked by something, and my heart trembled slightly. At

that moment, I remembered a lot.

I remembered my determination and perseverance when I encountered a deadly situation in the village.

I remembered that when I encountered difficulties, I faced them head-on and never thought of retreating!

I knew that at that moment, my heart resonated with her words.

"She seems... different from other women!" I smiled, then looked up at the figure staggering in the snowy mountains, took a deep breath and whispered, "How can I, Zhang Qianyu, watch a girl go to die alone?"

After I finished speaking, I picked up my backpack and quickly chased after Huang Jiu.

Huang Jiu hadn't rested for too long. Because of her excessive consumption of physical strength, she walked very slowly at this moment, taking deep and shallow steps, and falling from time to time.

I shook my head helplessly, then quickly chased after her, whispering, "I'll lead the way."

Huang Jiu turned back in surprise, "Why didn't you leave?"

"I promised Huang Shuai to help you, and I always keep my promises and do what I say." After I finished speaking, I took the mountaineering pick from her hand and walked forward quickly.

"Thank you." Huang Jiu's slightly low voice came from behind me. I didn't say anything, but just kept my head down and led the way.

Before, Huang Jiu had always been the one leading the way. She left footprints, and then I continued to follow her footprints, so it would save a lot of effort.

At this moment, after I cleared the way, I found that the person clearing the way in front of me would consume energy very quickly. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, wondering how she had persisted for the previous ten hours?

At this time, I heard Huang Jiu behind me suddenly say: "Look at the ground."

I squatted down and looked carefully, and saw that the snow under my feet had turned black, just like a layer of coal ash on the surface, which looked very strange.

I grabbed a handful of snow and immediately found that blood was oozing out of the snow.

"It's infected by evil spirits." I whispered: "If we keep moving forward, we should be able to catch up with the group of ghost soldiers."

"Let's go and follow them to see." Huang Jiu said.

I frowned when I heard that and wanted to refuse, but seeing Huang Jiu's determined look, I could only shake my head helplessly and said, "Then be careful."

After that, the two of us walked forward along the black snow on the ground.

It's strange to say that there were clearly thousands of ghost soldiers passing through here just now, but there were no footprints left on the ground except that the snow turned black.

If the snow hadn't been infected by the evil spirit and turned black, I would even doubt whether what I saw just now was an illusion.

After walking for about ten minutes, suddenly, I heard a muffled "bang" coming from the front.

The muffled sound came suddenly, and Huang Jiu and I were immediately startled and squatted on the ground almost subconsciously. Then, we felt that the ground was shaking.

"Is this... an avalanche?" I stared with my eyes wide open, looking horrified, while Huang Jiu behind me shook his head and said, "Impossible, if it was an avalanche, the noise would be much louder than this, it feels more like... something collapsed."

"Something collapsed?" I was startled when I heard that, and then I looked at Huang Jiu, and we both saw a look of realization in each other's eyes.

"It's that crack, it must be that group of ghost soldiers found the crack." Huang Jiu said excitedly.

But then, Huang Jiu's expression suddenly froze, and he said anxiously, "This crack is a shortcut to the top. The only way we want to surpass this group of ghost soldiers is to take the crack, but if the ghost soldiers also take that road, then we... can't rush to the top first before them."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Let's go and have a look. Maybe there are many forks in the crack. We can find a way to go around them."

Huang Jiu nodded and said, "There are indeed many forks, but I only know one that leads to the top of the mountain. The person who drew the map for me doesn't know where the other forks lead to."

After we finished talking, we stood up and ran forward quickly. After about ten minutes, we stopped because there was a two-meter-wide crack in front of us. It looked pitch black and bottomless.

Judging from the blackened snow around the crack and the cold wind blowing out of the crack from time to time, the group of ghost soldiers must have entered it.

This crack suddenly appeared under our feet. If the group of ghost soldiers had not found this crack, Huang Jiu and I might have walked straight through the thick snow on the crack and never found this place.

"Let's go in and take a look." I took a deep breath and then walked towards the crack first. Huang Jiu turned around and looked around, then followed me in.

This crack is much wider than I thought. At first, this crack was tilted downward, but after walking for a few minutes, the road under my feet became parallel. After another half an hour, the road under my feet suddenly became tilted upward. Obviously, it is absolutely possible to climb to the top of the mountain from here.

Moreover, the temperature in here is much higher than outside. At this moment, we were walking in the crack, and our bodies were getting hot. I couldn't help but take off my mask and goggles, took a deep breath and said, "The temperature here should be a few degrees below zero. We can charge the assault vest while passing through this crack."

Huang Jiu nodded when he heard it, then turned the collar over and pressed it lightly twice, then turned over the collar for me and pressed it lightly.

"The assault suit has a heat-insulating function. Although the power is out, the temperature should be maintained for a short time. Our assault suit still has about 50% of the power. Calculated based on the power that can be fully charged in five hours when it is out of power, our assault suits will be fully charged in about two hours."

Huang Jiu looked around vigilantly and continued, "I just suffered a backlash. I can be on guard all around for a short time. You have to be careful around you."

"I know." I nodded, then looked up at the dark road ahead, took a deep breath, and walked forward again.

At this moment, Huang Jiu and I have already entered the crack. Because there is no wind and snow, the temperature here has obviously started to rise a lot. Although the snow has not melted, it is gradually decreasing.

Moreover, it is much brighter here than outside. The light source is the icicles hanging above our heads like spears.

I have to say that this crack is very beautiful. From time to time, you can see various shapes of naturally formed ice sculptures. The icicles are crystal clear, like crystals. In addition, they all emit a faint halo, giving people a very dreamy feeling.

After walking for more than half an hour, I suddenly stopped. Huang Jiu behind me didn't understand why and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

As she spoke, she walked to my side and stood side by side with me.

When she saw the scene in front of her, she was also stunned.

"Is this... a maze?" Huang Jiu said in surprise. 7K妏敩

Not only her, but also I was surprised.

I saw that in front of us were pieces of ice nearly four meters high and two meters wide. There were a lot of these ice pieces, standing in the space in front of us in a disorderly manner.

The most important thing is that these ice pieces are not transparent, but like mirrors, reflecting the scene in the cracks. Even Huang Jiu and I were reflected in those ice pieces.

Densely packed mirrors crisscross and appear in front of us in a disorderly manner.

In each mirror, there is a reflection of me and a Huang Jiu.

Countless mirrors reflect countless me and countless Huang Jiu.

At this moment, I look into the eyes of countless me, and I even have a feeling of...extremely strange and palpitating.
