#352 - Chapter 351 Flying over the cliff at an outrageous speed!
Crack, crack——
The space around Li Chenqiu cracked like a mirror, and when it reached a certain critical point, it shattered with a "pop".
Whoosh——
An invigorating cold wind slapped Li Chenqiu's face, and his scattered gaze gradually solidified as he looked at the vast expanse of white snow.
Li Chenqiu's chapped lips parted slightly: "How could someone whose temperature you can feel by holding hands be fake?"
"Congratulations to the leader for taking the lead, being the first to break through the Realm of Asking the Heart, and obtaining the right to view the real-time progress of the surviving seekers. Do you want to activate it now?"
"Real-time progress?" Li Chenqiu's eyes lit up slightly: "Activate."
Buzz——
A nearly transparent data frame appeared in front of Li Chenqiu.
Inside the data frame, hundreds of small red dots were scattered randomly, with one small red dot leading far ahead, stopping at the very front.
Li Chenqiu knew that the small red dot represented himself.
He moved his gaze down and looked at the second echelon climbing the snow mountain. There were twelve red dots in total, and their speed of progress was very fast.
Li Chenqiu frowned slightly, his gaze piercing through the wind and snow, looking towards the already outlined summit of the snow mountain.
"I must climb to the top of the mountain within six hours!"
Li Chenqiu gripped the trekking pole tightly, inserted it into the thick snow layer, and took the next shaky but steady step.
...
Behind Li Chenqiu, Yuki Takahashi and the others followed Li Chenqiu's trail of blood, anxiously rushing along the road.
Yuki Takahashi opened his mouth, panting heavily, staring at the seemingly endless trail of blood, with big question marks popping up above his head.
Earlier, he had judged from the footprints and the amount of blood that only one person was ahead of them, and that this person was a Resurrector.
But now, Yuki Takahashi had deep doubts about his own judgment.
Was this the normal blood loss for a Resurrector?
Even if they could regenerate and heal themselves, they couldn't treat injuries as if they weren't injuries, and blood as if it wasn't blood. After all, self-healing also required life energy!
Squandering life energy so recklessly, according to normal logic, shouldn't the other party have already died of old age? How could they still continue to climb the snow mountain?!
Not only Yuki Takahashi had this question, but so did the other ten Forbidden Chosen in the team.
Akihiro Enomoto, who had been forcibly dragged into the alien space, squatted down, stared at the bloody footprints on the ground for a while, pretended to stroke his chin, and said worriedly, "This is not good!"
"What's wrong?"
Yuki Takahashi lowered his head and asked.
The rest of the group stopped and focused their attention on Akihiro Enomoto.
Akihiro Enomoto raised his head: "Even if the other party is a Resurrector, it's impossible to lose so much blood and still be safe and sound. I think there's something fishy going on!"
Miya Takahashi asked cooperatively: "What's fishy?"
Akihiro Enomoto stood up: "I suspect that there's more than one person who came in before us. The other party deliberately left footprints and so much blood, as if they were leading the way for us, wanting to lure us into a trap they set up!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought.
Akihiro Enomoto spoke again: "In addition to this, I have another bold guess: the other party deliberately only left one person's footprints.
They want to mislead us, making us relax our vigilance towards the rear, so that they can attack those who are lagging behind!"
Yuki Takahashi gave Akihiro Enomoto a deep look.
This person looked unremarkable, but he actually had such meticulous thoughts. As expected, old ginger is spicier!
Yuki Takahashi asked politely: "What are your thoughts?"
Akihiro Enomoto pointed his finger: "Don't follow the blood trail and take a shortcut, detour to avoid the blood trail, and at the same time send someone down the mountain to guard against the group who came in before us."
"Take a detour… that would be too much of a waste of time!"
"Have you forgotten what the chief said? Act cautiously."
"But…"
"Alright!" Yuki Takahashi raised his hand to interrupt: "Let's listen to Senior Akihito. As for the person going down the mountain…"
"I'll go!" Akihiro Enomoto stood up: "After all, I'm the one who suggested it."
"Alright then, Senior Akihito, please be careful."
After separating from the group, a heartfelt smile appeared on Akihiro Enomoto's face, and he walked lightly down the mountain.
Something fishy?
There is indeed something fishy!
What I said is a big scam!
...
On the steep rock face, dozens of small black dots crawled with difficulty.
"Damn it, there's nowhere to grab, how can we climb up!"
"If you can't climb, jump down, don't put your butt against my head!"
"Ahhh, save me!!!"
"Don't pull on my pants, there are women here!"
The cold wind howled, and people fell from the rock face from time to time. And now, a man whose pants and underwear had fallen to his knees was coming.
"Ahhh!"
Just as the man was about to be swept away by the strong wind, a discordant emerald green appeared in the snow, and rapidly expanded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Thick vines tore through the snowy dusk, rushing forward at top speed, instantly entangling the man's body, steadily pulling him back to the ground, and then the vines quickly retracted.
The man pulled up his pants in shock, turned his head to look at where the vines extended from.
In the distance, a towering tree with a thick trunk and lush branches appeared in the snow, and continued to enlarge in the man's pupils.
Under the lush green foliage, a middle-aged man in a floral shirt quickly approached the rock wall with light and powerful steps, and the big tree followed him closely.
The whistling cold wind beat against the canopy, but could not make a single leaf fall. The snowflakes that accompanied the cold wind were stirred into chaos by the vines extending from the canopy before they could get close to the middle-aged man.
This person was none other than Koichi Nakamura, whom the Takahashi Conglomerate had high hopes for.
The man who had been rescued looked at Koichi Nakamura, who was rushing towards him, and was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Koichi Nakamura swept past him like the wind.
Koichi Nakamura approached the rock wall, bent his knees slightly, and jumped up suddenly.
The man raised his arm and shouted urgently: "Chief, you can't fly…"
The man's voice suddenly stopped, his eyes widening in surprise as he looked ahead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Dozens of thick vines shot out like bullets, and with a series of "bang, bang" sounds, they pierced into the rock wall, and with a sudden pull, they flew into the air with the man and the tree.
In an extremely reasonable way, he crossed the rock wall and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This… he just passed?"
"Ah—aren't we not allowed to fly? Is this alien space giving special treatment?"
"Who is he? He's too strong!"
...
Looking at the increasingly near summit of the snow mountain, Li Chenqiu felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Finally, it's almost here."
A hint of joy flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, and he subconsciously pulled up the survivor real-time progress data frame.
When he saw the dozen or so red dots in the second echelon changing direction, Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is… taking a detour?"
Upholding the principle of not understanding but respecting, Li Chenqiu suppressed the urge to mock and continued to move his gaze down.
Soon, his attention was attracted by a small red dot that seemed to be moving at several times the speed.
Li Chenqiu: 【・_・?】
