Chapter 115: First Ascent of Mount Tomur
Chu Qiao's body fell to the ground, the shaking stopped, and the little boy who was holding Chu Qiao's clothes tightly in his arms quietly popped his head out and looked outside.
As soon as it appeared, the wind eagle's eyes turned instantly and stood up, and it immediately discovered the snow leopard, which was more attractive than the snow hare.
It originally just wanted to drive Chu Qiao away, but now it completely regarded Chu Qiao as an imaginary enemy competing with it for delicious food.
The wind eagle flapped its wings and fell rapidly, intending to attack Chu Qiao's head.
Chu Qiao pressed Xiaoyan'er's head down, tightened the zipper, and tied the rope on the hat to prevent Xiaoyan'er from being thrown out.
Just when the eagle's claws were half a meter away from Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao suddenly bent backward and dodged the attack of the Crested Eagle headfirst. Chu Qiao supported himself with one hand and took off with both feet, landing on the eagle's belly.
The crested eagle felt pain and flapped its wings to fly higher.
Chu Qiao stood up, patted the snow, and looked at the snow rabbit that was jumping desperately up the slope.
She was not in a hurry to chase the rabbit. In the snowy mountains, the animals that lived here all year round were more familiar with the environment than her and ran faster. Chu Qiao picked up a piece of ice and threw it at the snow rabbit like a dart.
A wailing sound was heard, and the ice hit the snow rabbit's leg, causing it to roll and fall. The snow rabbit lost its balance and hit its head on the ice, its ears drooping and its limbs motionless.
Chu Qiao trotted over quickly to prevent the snow rabbit from being discovered and snatched away by other predators.
The snow rabbit's body was still warm on the ice, but Chu Qiao knew it was dead. The ice was as hard as stone. Even if a sheep fell on it, it would be half dead.
Xiaoyan'er was almost suffocating and struggling inside.
I saw the clothes on Chu Qiao's chest moving here and there.
Chu Qiao poked Xiaoyan's head through his clothes and let it out.
As soon as the little guy came out and saw a wild rabbit that was bigger than his body, he instantly arched his back and breathed out.
Chu Qiao stroked her spotted hair and said, "At such a young age, you're quite imposing."
Just as Chu Qiao finished praising him, Xiaoyan'er's skinny legs went limp and he fell to the ice with a thud. His congenital weakness and physical defect made his previous momentum seem ridiculous.
Netizens couldn't help laughing:
"Little Eyes is hilarious. What he lacks in ability, he makes up for with momentum!"
"Boys can't say they can't do it."
"Who says small eyes belong to boys?"
"Is that a man or a woman?"
Chu Qiao looked at the screen and said with a smile, "Don't guess, it's a girl."
After saying that, Chu Qiao picked up Xiaoyan, who was still breathing at the rabbit, and said, "Don't be afraid. This is your food."
Chu Qiao said, grabbed the snow rabbit's ears, and walked to a sheltered place.
Since Xiaoyaner realized that the rabbit would not move, he became more and more bold. Sometimes he would bite the rabbit's legs, and sometimes he would pull out the rabbit's hair.
Chu Qiao didn't waste any time, skinning the rabbit while it was still stiff. He cut off a small piece of meat and fed it to Xiaoyan, who swallowed it whole, chewed it for a long time, and then spat it out. This guy still couldn't bite the meat.
Chu Qiao had no choice but to chop the meat into paste with a knife.
The little bird could see but couldn't eat, so it made a whimpering sound and turned around anxiously.
Chu Qiao lifted it by the neck and placed it beside him: "Behave yourself, I'm doing it for you."
Xiaoyan'er is not like Dabai, she is not honest at all. While Chu Qiao was chopping, she was eating secretly. Seeing that the meat was getting less and less, this guy actually ate half a rabbit in one meal.
Netizens can only see the cuteness of Xiao Yan'er, but don't know that Chu Qiao's heart is bleeding.
She secretly decided to stay away from small animals in the future, especially those with high IQ and smart brains.
Chu Qiao didn't eat the remaining meat. He chopped it into minced meat and wrapped it with parachute cloth.
There was still one day and one night left before the mission was over, and she wasn't sure if she would be so lucky as to find another snow rabbit.
The snow at the foot of the mountain was half a meter deep. Chu Qiao put on his homemade snowshoes and prepared to continue crossing the mountain.
Xiaoyaner was full and slept soundly in Chu Qiao's arms.
Chu Qiao poked her little head and said, "Go to sleep. When you wake up, we'll turn over."
After saying this, Chu Qiao's eyes changed, the smile disappeared, and he became firm and serious.
She began, "Tomur Peak is the highest snow-capped mountain in the Tianshan Mountains. Its summit is almost invisible, plunging straight into the clouds. The higher you go, the higher the altitude becomes, and the thinner the oxygen becomes. Most people would find it difficult to persevere due to altitude sickness."
"Master Chu is afraid of altitude sickness?"
"I don't believe it?"
"I don't believe it either!"
Chu Qiao shook his head and said, "If it's just altitude sickness, I'm not worried, because altitude sickness will only make people uncomfortable, not fatal."
"But on the towering snow-capped mountains, low oxygen levels can easily cause pulmonary edema, which has a mortality rate of half."
"Here, even a rabbit could kill you because under the strong altitude sickness, the sudden appearance of a rabbit can frighten you, causing your heart rate to accelerate, your breathing to become rapid, and your hypoxia reaction to worsen. If you're not careful, it can develop into acute altitude sickness."
"Oh my god, is it that serious?"
"Didn't Master Chu say that you've climbed the snowy mountain many times?"
Chu Qiao curled her lips. She had climbed snow-capped mountains many times, but this was the first time she had climbed a snow-capped mountain as high as Tomur Peak. If it weren't for the 800,000 yuan, she really didn't want to come here to suffer.
"Master Chu, forget it, let's go back the same way."
"That's right, the snake venom has just been cleared, there's no need to fight so hard."
Chu Qiao said firmly: "Stop trying it once and for all, and all possibilities will disappear. Follow me and continue exploring."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he immediately took action.
There is no road on the snow-capped mountains. Even if there is a road, it will be buried by heavy snow and will be useless.
The first half was all fresh snow, and Chu Qiao almost crawled on all fours, using his hands and feet. Although it was strenuous, it was simple and fast.
Suddenly, Chu Qiao straightened up. She was now halfway up the mountain. The snow slope she had just been walking on disappeared and turned into an upright snow mountain.
Blocks of ice and snow lead to the sky.
Chu Qiao took out a very strange tool from his backpack. The tool was about half a meter long and looked like a sickle.
"What is Master Chu holding in his hand?"
"It looks so weird."
"Whatever it is, Master Chu finally has new equipment."
"That's some pretty cool equipment."
When Chu Qiao held it in front of the camera, netizens could see clearly that it was not a sickle at all. Its blade was serrated and the handle was slightly curved.
Seeing no one recognized it, Chu Qiao explained, "This is called an ice axe. It's one of the most important and widely used pieces of mountaineering equipment. It's an extension of your limbs when climbing. Below the snow line, it can be used as a crutch for climbing up and down the mountain. It helps maintain balance when walking on icy slopes. And when the iceberg is severely plateaued, it can serve as a fulcrum for climbing."
