End of the World Terminator

Chapter 174 Severe Cold

At a height of several thousand meters, it would be very difficult even with Qin Tian's current strength if he directly used earth-type powers to ascend.

Qin Tian had no better way.

He is also not afraid of climbing mountains.

But Ling Jiao, Xi Yan, Zhou Lili, Zhou Yunjia and Zhang Yu don't have such ability as him.

"Brother, I'm afraid."

Ling Jiao stretched out her hand to grab Ling Yun's sleeve and pouted.

"Follow Qin Tian with me, there will be no problem."

Ling Yun looked at Ling Jiao, pointed at Qin Tian and said warmly.

Hearing this, Ling Jiao quickly reached out and pulled Qin Tian's sleeve.

Qin Tian stared slightly, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Why?"

"Do you need to say more? If there is a rock collapse, it is safest to hide behind you and Big Tiger, right?"

Ling Yun said matter-of-factly.

"Uh, are you going to use me as a human shield?"

"This is the safest way to climb. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears."

Ling Yun looked at Qin Tian expressionlessly.

Qin Tian opened his mouth slightly, was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, you win."

Acknowledging Ling Yun's plan, Qin Tian waved his hand and summoned a hundred skeletons, letting forty skeletons climb up the cliff first and start arranging rocks.

Then, the big tiger took the lead, rushed to the front, and was the first to climb the cliff.

Qin Tian grabbed the tiger's tail and followed it.

Then came Ling Yun and Ling Jiao, who were holding Qin Tian's sleeves and corners of his clothes, followed by Zhang Yu, who was holding Ling Yun's clothes, Zhou Lili and Xi Yan, who were holding Ling Jiao's clothes.

Zhou Yunjia was grabbed by Zhou Lili and Xi Yan's arm.

Behind and beside the seven people, sixty skeletons followed closely at all times.

Big Tiger's rock climbing ability is very strong. Even if his tail is held by Qin Tian, ​​which is equivalent to dragging seven people, climbing on mountains and rivers is still as smooth as walking on flat ground.

Following the big tiger, Qin Tian is also very good at rock climbing. When he encounters a difficult place to climb, he can poke a hole in the ground with his hand and use his strength to jump upwards easily.

But compared to Dahu Lao and Qin Tian, ​​Ling Yun and others seemed much clumsy.

Ling Yun and Xi Yan were both superpowers. Zhang Yu had been training in the army for several years, but he still couldn't keep up with the speed of Qin Tian and Big Tiger, so that Qin Tian and Big Tiger had to stop and wait for them from time to time.

Not to mention Ling Jiao, Zhou Lili and Zhou Yunjia.

The speed of the entire team climbing upwards became a bit slow.

Coupled with the fluffy soil, seven people and one tiger would miss the mark from time to time, which was quite thrilling.

Sometimes, there are rocks hidden in the soil, which feel quite hard when you step on them. If you step on them with a little force, the rocks will fall down, making it difficult to prevent them.

Even with Xiao Jin's reminder, Qin Tian stepped on rocks in the soil several times, constantly reminding everyone behind him to be careful.

During this period, Qin Tian was also lucky enough to observe the rock landslide. At that time, he only felt a cool breeze blowing from above. Then, at first, it was just a very quiet sound of stones falling to the ground, but it quickly turned into a rock collapse. The rain rolled down the cliff with "crackling" sounds.

Ten skeletons were unfortunately within the attack range of the rain of stones. They were immediately hit and staggered back. They all managed to avoid being hit by digging their hand bones into the ground.

"grass!"

Qin Tian smacked his tongue secretly and observed the ten skeletons whose bones were shattered by the smashing. He couldn't help but look behind him and thought that if Ling Yun and others were hit by these stones, countless holes would probably be made.

"It's okay, keep going."

Facing Qin Tian's probing gaze, Ling Yun pushed up his glasses and said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Qin Tian looked at Ling Jiao and others who were all pale, gritted his teeth, and then directed the skeletons in front to speed up and climb to the top of the mountain as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he asked the big tiger to slow down and climb up slowly.

As long as the skeletons can climb to the top of the mountain, at least there will be no more rain of rocks overhead.

Qin Tian let out a breath and followed the big tiger upward.

After climbing like this for more than an hour, Qin Tian estimated that he should be halfway up and asked secretly: "Xiao Jin, can you detect the top of the mountain?"

"Scanning begins. Scanning ends. The host cannot detect the top of the mountain yet."

"Uh, didn't you say that Taibai Ridge is only over 1,900 meters? At least I have climbed a thousand meters now, how can I still not find it?"

Qin Tian was a little depressed.

"That is the vertical distance. The host is walking on a slope. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but there is no 90-degree symmetrical relationship between you and the top of the mountain. All the distance between you and the top of the mountain is the same as that of the mountain. The altitude doesn’t matter much.”

"I go."

Qin Tian sighed helplessly and continued climbing. However, he heard Xiao Jin's voice again.

"Host, we have detected ice and snow on the ground one thousand meters directly in front of you. It should be the snow on the top of the mountain. From this, it is inferred that you are not far from the top of the mountain."

Hearing this, Qin Tian let out a breath, but quickly frowned.

"Xiao Jin, if there is snow, will there be an avalanche?"

"Host, it's not impossible in theory. If an avalanche really occurs, and rocks fall down together, it is estimated that among everyone present, except for the host, Ling Yun and Xi Yan, the rest of the people will be difficult to survive."

"Starting to estimate the skeletons' chances of intercepting a large-scale avalanche. The estimate is completed. The chance of successful interception: 20%."

"grass!"

Qin Tian cursed secretly, immediately asked the skeletons running in front to stop and wait, and then looked towards Ling Yun behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Qin Tian's gaze, Ling Yun's face slightly condensed, and he frowned and asked.

"There's snow up there."

Qin Tian didn't explicitly say that an avalanche would happen, but he still felt Ling Jiao, who was holding his sleeve, tremble slightly.

"oh."

Ling Yun pushed up his glasses and said, "Then let's be careful and don't make too much noise. There should be no problem."

Hearing this, Qin Tian quickly looked at the others and gently reminded them to be careful and not to make too much noise.

Several people continued walking towards the top of the mountain.

Soon, Qin Tian led everyone to fight with the skeletons guarding the front, and asked the skeletons to slowly climb up with them.

The group was careful not to even breathe too loudly.

After climbing for an hour, when Qin Tian had already seen the sparkling snow, a gust of cold wind suddenly howled.

Qin Tian frowned slightly, feeling that the chill carried by the wind was extremely heavy, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his limbs felt cold.

Ling Yun and others all shuddered, but their expressions suddenly changed, and they all gasped and trembled.

Then, he felt someone pulling at him, and immediately turned around to see Ling Yun pointing at the ground.

After a moment of silence, he immediately understood and quickly used his earth power to send him and everyone underground.
