Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Polar Glaciers

The boundary between day and night on the snow line is very blurred, especially when there is a heavy snowstorm, the entire field of vision is foggy gray and white, giving people the illusion that it is about to get dark.And the mountains at night are illuminated by white snow, which is very similar to the daytime in the snowstorm.Climbing the highest snow peak at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains in such a harsh environment, the accumulated fatigue can easily make people forget the time. This group of people didn't know how long they walked before they saw a strange branch of Xuefeng.This mountain range extends from the main peak, slightly lower than the main peak, and clings to the main peak. After several thousand meters above sea level, it suddenly splits, like two fingers spread apart, forming a "V" shape, which looks very strange.

Yuan Sen looked at the branch of Xuefeng on the opposite side. The strong wind swept the snow towards his face, and many snow particles flew into his hood and jacket. He shivered, and the speed of the team suddenly slowed down. "It's really a miracle, like a joke played by nature." Yuan Sen looked at the strange "V" shaped mountain and said to himself. The team changed direction on the top and climbed towards the branch of Xuefeng.The staggering team was like a wounded snake crawling slowly on the snow peak. They climbed towards the middle of the two snow peaks. From their position to the middle, it was about a few hundred meters away. Yuan Sen could probably conclude that Burke's so-called tomb of Hambar Ata was on the two peaks. middle ground.

They gradually approached the middle ground, and Akailam suddenly exclaimed: "Look, what is that? It's on that small mountain!" Yuan Sen looked in the direction of Akaila's wood finger, and saw a blue thing moving slowly on a raised hill in the middle. "The wind and snow are too strong, and there are still things blocking it, so I can't see clearly." "Brother Yuan, I think it's a modern machine, let's go to Kang Basa, that kid just picked up an infrared telescope." Ai Kaila said woodenly. Yuan Sen also felt strange, followed Ai Kailamu staggering past the crowd and ran to the front of the team.Burke and Combasa were standing on a large snow-covered rock and observing the front with a telescope. Obviously, they also noticed that something was wrong with the middle ground.

Seeing the two of them rushing over, Kangbasa said, "There is a helicopter in front, the propellers have just started, and they are trying to take off." "Oh, is the unit marked on the fuselage?" Kangbasa shook his head, handed the binoculars to Yuan Sen, and said, "It's painted blue, without any signs. I suspect it's the person who snatched the wizard's map in the village." Yuan Sen took a closer look through the binoculars, and saw that the blue helicopter was slowly leaving the tarmac. The snow rolled up by the propellers formed an extremely thick snow fog around the plane, as if the plane was covered.He could see figures moving behind the windshield of the plane, but he couldn't see how many people there were.

After the helicopter flew three or four meters above the ground, it slowly descended again, and the propeller idling for a while then stopped. "Stop it." Yuan Sen said. "Didn't it fly?" Kang Basa was a little puzzled, and took Yuan Sen's telescope. Kang Basa only took one look, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could this happen? On the extremely cold mountain top, even if the helicopter lands on the tarmac, the propellers must be idling to prevent them from being damaged by freezing." "Save engine oil?" Akai Lamu leaned over and said.

"Impossible, this is common sense, and there may be a problem ahead." Kangbasa yelled. He took out his gun, said a few words to his father, and then said to Yuan Sen and Ai Kaila: "There must be something wrong there, let's go and have a look. They are all robbers who kill without batting an eye, so load the bullets." !" Wang Hui ran over from behind, her petite body swaying in the wind and snow, like a fallen leaf that would be blown away at any time. Kangbasa was extremely agile, he slid into the snow, and rushed out in a short while, Yuan Sen, Ai Kailamu and Wang Hui followed behind him.

The distance of 400 meters is not too far. If it is flat ground, they can reach it in a very short time, but what they have to face now is not only the distance, but also the strong wind that forces them to retreat. Twenty minutes had passed by the time the four rushed to the tarmac. The brand-new Russian-made Mi-28 helicopter had been buried by heavy snow, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the propeller. Four people approached the helicopter from four directions. Combasa held a gun in one hand and pulled the cabin door with the other.With guns in both hands, Yuan Sen followed Kangbasa, looking for the best shooting angle.

There was tension in the air.The four of them knew very well that once they came into contact with the enemy, there would be casualties.Judging from their equipment, this group of people almost used the most advanced weapons in the world, and their strength should not be underestimated. They violated common sense and let the helicopter stall in the ice and snow, and even be buried by heavy snow, which is very unreasonable for people with certain military common sense.They are likely to be in danger. Combasa pulled the engine door hard, and there was a loud crash, and the snow on the side of the fuselage fell to the ground.Kang Basa hid sideways, and Yuan Sen aimed his gun at the cabin.

There was no expected gunshot, and the ears of the four were only filled with the roar of the wind and snow.Against the sound of wind and snow, the helicopter seemed so quiet, as if it had been buried for many years. Kangbasa got into the cabin, and Yuan Sen followed suit.The cabin was still warm, but after entering, the snow on their bodies turned into water, making everything wet. The warm cabin was filled with the smell of blood, a strong smell of blood. Kang Basa turned on the flashlight, shook it randomly, and saw two corpses lying in the cabin, spitting blood from the mouth, a hole was opened in the stomach, the intestines were pulled out, and there was a dead knot in the middle.

The facilities in the cabin were extremely luxurious. The leather cushions, carpet, and coffee table were all covered with blood. The pupils of the deceased were dilated, and his eyes were full of fear. Seeing the bloody scene in the cabin, Yuan Sen crouched down and vomited. He repeatedly asked himself: "How did these people die? Their death is exactly the same as that of the strong men in the primeval forest. There are beast bite marks on their wounds, but there is no trace of the beast coming. What killed them? ?” Ai Kailam and Wang Hui opened the front hatch at the same time, and saw the driver lying on the dashboard with a big pool of blood underneath.Ai Kailamu turned the driver's body over and found that the driver was one of the people he met at the Riverside Night Market that day. His nose was collapsed, his lips were split, his face was covered with blood, and his intestines were pulled out and tied to a chair. superior.

Kang Basa and Yuan Sen opened the door of the cockpit, and Kang Basa glanced at the pilot and said, "I guess they all entered the tomb of the gods, and even brought that beast into the plane." Yuan Sen added: "The hatch is closed very tightly. If they find that beast has followed in, they will definitely not do such a thing." Ai Kailam's face changed violently in fright, and he said, "You mean that beast might be invisible? It walked into the cabin, and the three of them didn't notice it at all until it launched an attack. Damn, it's so evil monster?" Ai Kaila couldn't help but look around, his face was as white as paper.Yuan Sen broke out in a cold sweat. He vaguely felt a vicious eye staring at him and his companions. His hand holding the gun was trembling. Kambasa cut the pilot's intestines with a dagger, pushed him off the plane, and closed the door tightly. When he was doing this, the rest of the people just stared at him blankly. This incident was too weird, and they couldn't accept it all at once. The two strong men in the primeval forest also died tragically in the same way. They were extremely frightened, but they didn't think any deeper. They thought that the beast was hiding in the forest, sneaking around in the dark, coming and going like the wind, and using cruel methods, so it was hard to find in the forest. Its traces, as long as you leave the forest and have a wide view, you don't have to be afraid of it, because they have guns in their hands.No matter how fast the beast is, can it be faster than an automatic submachine gun?Although they were afraid in their hearts, they did not despair, because they knew the weakness of this beast. Seeing the three bodies in the helicopter, they were stunned.Things are by no means as simple as they thought. They thought of the ferocious beasts coming and going like the wind, and the cruel and strange methods when hunting their prey, but they didn't expect that it might be invisible and invisible. Faced with a beast that can hide behind you and open its mouth at any time, these people with modern weapons really have no way to deal with it. The safety of their lives may only depend on when the beast is hungry. Kambasa looked out the windshield and saw his father leading the tribe slowly approaching the helicopter.Their eyes were vigilant, and they obviously found that Combasa and others had already occupied the plane, so they didn't panic, but kept an instinctive vigilance for the surrounding environment. Yuan Sen said: "Kambasa, this beast is extremely dangerous, even invisible, your father knows about it, right?" Kangbasa nodded and said, "You understand what I said to you when I crossed the snow line, right? These people have already opened the tomb of God Hambar Ata. The invisible beast is the guardian of the tomb of God." "Kangbasa, what are we going to do now?" Yuan Sen asked. "Expel all the intruders, then close the tomb of God, and pray for God Hambar Ata's forgiveness." Combasa closed his eyes, as if praying. Two strong men walked up to the helicopter. They saw Combasa inside through the windshield and gave him a thumbs up, which meant admiration for how quickly they eliminated the enemy. Combasara opened the door, and the two invited Burke into the plane. Combasara briefly described to his father the process of their discovery of the body and his speculation. Burke's face became more serious, and he squatted down against the cabin wall, holding his head in pain. Burke had always had a good impression on Yuan Sen and the others. He was wise, calm, and influential, and able to make correct judgments in critical situations. But he never expected that he would collapse before entering the tomb of God. Burke is like this, and everyone is even more uncertain. What is the legendary tomb of Hambar Ata? Everyone sat down around the helicopter, ate dry food to replenish their strength, and rubbed the snow to quench their thirst. After a short rest, they walked deep into the middle area under the leadership of Lord Burke. The middle ground is so vast that it looks like an endless wasteland, the end of which cannot be seen even with infrared telescopes.No matter how you look at it, there is a vast expanse of white snow in your field of vision.This is simply a world without boundaries. Yuan Sen and the others walked a few kilometers before they realized that the distance between the branches and the snow peak was very close. This was just an illusion. The actual distance between the two snow peaks was probably hundreds of miles. They walked less than one kilometer, and suddenly felt the cold wind in front of them was much stronger, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, and the cold came in through the animal skin jacket.Yuan Sen raised his head and sneezed. Seeing that the people in front had stopped, he knew something was going on, so he hurried forward. The vertical team came across in a straight line, and they all looked down. Yuan Sen walked beside them and couldn't help but exclaimed: "God, such a big glacier!" Ai Kailam rushed over and yelled, "Glacier? Where is the glacier?" Under their feet is a huge valley, tens of meters high.Combasa turned on the flashlight to shine on these glaciers. These huge glaciers meander and circle like a long dragon, extending to an endless distance. The big windbags in the valley blew over their heads and covered their faces, making everyone on the edge unsteady, and even had the illusion that they were about to be sucked into this huge valley. Yuan Sen pointed to the valley and said, "Kambasa, is the tomb of God Hambar Ata here?" Kangbasa nodded and said, "Father said that there is a stone tomb under the glacier, and the great God Hambar-Ata rests under the glacier." Ai Kailam was staggered by the cold wind, and said: "Your god really has a leisurely heart. It's hard for him to think of building the tomb under the glacier." Kangbasa was very disgusted with Akailam's ridicule, and glared at him.Ai Kailamu wiped his mouth and grinned, thinking that God Hambar Ata has the ability to build the tomb under the glacier, and his strength is really unimaginable!An old proverb in the Altai Mountains says, "There are seventy-two ditches in the Altai Mountains, and there is gold in the ditches." This ancient tomb hidden in the Altai Mountains contains so many treasures that it is estimated that it is difficult to count. Burke beckoned Kambasa to pass.Kang Basa went to talk to his father for a few words, and then came to talk to Yuan Sen and the others.Kambasa relayed his father's meaning: the group of people who grabbed the map must be under the glacier, and they must be carrying advanced weapons. Come around. Yuan Sen and the others had long been accustomed to this style of play, so they agreed. Under the guidance of Burke, Kangbasa memorized the route, and walked down a mountain crack on the side of the snow field. After walking for half an hour, he arrived at an entrance of the valley. This valley entrance is not a formal entrance, but a crack more than ten meters wide. A long tongue of ice emerges from the crack, swooping down the mountain, and it does not know where it extends. Kangbasa pointed to the large arched ice standing on the side of the ice tongue, and said: "This is the end of the moraine that supports the glacier. My father will climb up from the other end with the warriors of the clan. According to my father's speculation, we will compare They climbed over the terminal moraine in about ten minutes, and we really entered the valley glacier. There is a very long way on the glacier. After this journey, there is a huge forest of seracs in front of us. Intruders may be in the forest of seracs Hidden whistle." Yuan Sen nodded and asked Wang Hui, "Assistant Wang, can you take it?" Wang Hui nodded. She looked delicate, but she had a kind of tenacity that ordinary strong men didn't have. No matter how difficult the environment was along the way, she never fell behind. Yuan Sen had to be surprised secretly. Compared with his junior sister Bahar Gul, Wang Hui is really special. Seeing that Wang Hui's face was still very calm, he teased himself secretly, is it true that all female special forces are like this?Ask Kangbasa when you are free. The terminal moraine of the glacier is extremely slippery, and it is difficult to generate friction.Kangbasa took out a thick rope from his backpack and threw it into the crevice of the ice. After the iron hook caught the edge of the ice, Kangbasa pulled the rope to make sure it was fixed, and then climbed up. The moraine at this end jutted out obliquely from the valley, and was judging from its outline that it was very thick.After Yuan Sen and Wang Hui crossed the mouth of the valley, they discovered that the terminal moraine was so huge that it was simply unimaginable. The height from the ground to the terminal moraine is no less than several hundred meters. It towers like a magnificent castle in front of everyone. Yuan Sen took a deep breath. The ice was so slippery that if the barb slipped and rolled down from such a high ice, the bones would be smashed into pieces. As expected, Kang Basa was a fierce general. He looked up at the end, and without saying a word, he hung up the rope and climbed up. Yuan Sen secretly admired it, and also found an icicle suitable for hanging a hook, fixed the rope and climbed up. Akailam cursed habitually, his heart filled with the joy of digging up the treasure, and he also chose a direction, hung up the rope, and quickly climbed up the big icicle. Yuan Sen saw Wang Hui and Ai Kailam coming up, and shouted at them: "Everyone be careful, keep up with the speed of Kang Basa—" The terminal moraine has always been known as the gate of the glacier world, and those who climb the river can only be considered to have really touched the glacier if they have crossed the terminal moraine.The terminal moraine that Yuan Sen and the others climbed was too huge. When they climbed halfway, they looked at the ground and felt the cold wind blowing in. They were like a flag tied to the Burj Khalifa, and their hearts were extremely flustered. Kang Basa climbed up first, and then helped Yuan Sen, Wang Hui, and Ekailamu climb to the top of the glacier. The four of them stood on the huge glacier, surrounded by light blue, the glacier under their feet was like cracked land, and the thick ice was closely connected together. Yuan Sen flicked his flashlight around to take photos, and Ai Kailam sighed, "Brother Yuan, I have traveled across the northern and southern borders, and this time I really saw the big glacier. It's so spectacular." Yuan Sen ignored him, he looked ahead, the glacier filled the wide valley, and he couldn't see the end of it.The mountain wall on the side was where they were looking down just now. This quick change of position gave Yuan Sen a strange feeling.He looked around, except for the two mountain walls, the front and back were empty, the cold wind whizzed past with ice and snow particles, and hit them heavily. A few of them followed Kangbasa into the valley, and found a few cigarette butts and two ski hats along the way, which should have been dropped by the thief. They also ignored it, the curse of God Hambar Ata weighed on their hearts like a heavy weight, they were curious and fearful at the same time. Did the beast hiding in the darkness open its evil eyes and stretch out its sharp claws, ready to pounce on the humans who trespassed on the tomb of God? The four of them walked for more than a mile on the ice field, and a collapsed ice valley appeared in front of them. Looking down, the ice valley was very wide, with a blockhouse-like thing standing in the middle, and the spire stood upright. The shape of the entire ice valley is like an upside-down "V" shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. They have no way of judging how wide the bottom is, and the distance between the two ends is hundreds of meters.This glacier structure is like a pair of magical hands that dug out a large piece of the complete glacier. Ai Kailam stared at the bottomless ice valley and was stunned. Wasn't this a trick?Climbing up from the terminal moraine, he almost exerted all his strength. If he wanted to cross the glacier valley, he had to slide down first, cross the bottom of the valley, and then climb up the glacier as fearfully as climbing the terminal moraine.Just thinking about this big move makes me panic, how can I be so troublesome? Wang Hui picked up a palm-sized ice cube and threw it into the ice valley. After a while, there was a clear echo in the valley, which was the sound of ice breaking. "Not very deep, about thirty meters." Wang Hui said. "Wait, Kangbasa, is the forest of ice towers that Lord Burke said is under the ice valley?" Yuan Sen stopped Kangbasa who was preparing the rope. Kangbasa shook his head and said, "Dad didn't mention that there is an ice valley in the middle." Yuan Sen was thoughtful. He held up his infrared telescope and looked into the distance. His gaze crossed the ice valley. In front of him was still an open ice field, without the shadow of a forest of seracs. Combasa has fixed four climbing ropes, and the safety test of the fixed points has also been completed. "Mr. Yuan, what did you find?" Kang Basa asked suspiciously. Yuan Sen said: "Kangbasa, from our place to the corner of the valley, there is a very long distance between here and there is a barren ice field without any obstacles. This distance should be beyond the distance that Lord Burke said, so I Guess whether the forest of ice towers will be under the ice valley?" Kang Basa said: "There is no way to verify this, and you will understand it when you go down." Yuan Sen nodded and reminded: "We must be on guard when we go down, in case someone below finds us and makes cold shots." A group of people climbed tens of meters along the rope in the dark, and gradually approached the ice surface.Climbing the glacier terminal moraine to the ice valley is not a long journey, but it takes a lot of energy.There is little friction between a person and a smooth ice surface. Even with the help of a rope, it is extremely difficult to climb up to 100 meters, not to mention going up and down. Ai Kaila jumped onto the ice at the bottom of the valley, panting like a cow from exhaustion.He wore a pair of bearskin gloves, and he could still feel the cold entering his body through the gloves, like a sharp knife piercing into a bone, which was extremely uncomfortable.Ai Kaila lay on the ground panting, desperately rubbing his hands on his body to keep warm.Yuan Sen slid down silently and patted him. Ai Kaila was stunned for a moment, and his blood rushed a little.On the boundless ice field outside the ice valley, the cold wind is harsh, and the ice valley is not ventilated. Except for the occasional falling ice cubes, it is eerily quiet.With Yuan Sen's slap, Ai Kailam almost jumped up in fright. Yuan Sen held him down and said, "Don't move around, don't make any noise." The habit he had developed over the years made him calm down quickly. They heard the sounds of Kang Basa and Wang Hui slipping down the rope.Their movements were very small, but in this quiet environment, their voices were amplified many times, and their hearts were beating loudly. After a while, the surrounding area was still eerily quiet, and they turned on the flashlight only after making sure there was no one else around.A beam of light hit the light blue ice surface, and the surroundings shone with dazzling blue light.They found themselves under the inverted "V" surface of the ice valley, the slope of the ice body inserted into the depths of the glacier, cutting out a large inclined space.In the inclined space, columnar and rock-like large ices are everywhere, separating the inclined space and revealing many ice cave openings. The four of them checked the surrounding ice caves, and found that there were only three caves that could be entered. The other caves were either short caves or dead ice caves, and could not be the entrance to the tomb of the gods. Ai Kailam looked and looked at the three most likely ice cave entrances, but couldn't tell the difference between the three cave entrances.Wang Hui suddenly ducked into a hole on the right side, her speed was very fast, Yuan Sen knew she must have found something, so she followed. Wang Hui squatted down about one meter inside the ice cave and shone a flashlight on the ground. Yuan Sen saw clearly what was on the ground and was surprised that it was a shoe. To be precise, it was an old-fashioned cotton shoe that had been frozen. The shoe was more than 20 centimeters above the ice. It was like amber, and it was watched by several people. Wang Hui took out a hammer from her backpack and smashed the ice. The shoe was frozen as hard as a rock. Wang Hui smashed the ice inside, looked at it again and again, and threw it into the bag. Yuan Sen said: "These shoes have a history of at least several decades, that is to say, someone has been here decades ago." Wang Huidao: "These are military shoes uniformly distributed by the Kuomintang army before 1949, and there are real objects in the archives." Yuan Sen was taken aback, and said, "A military shoe of the Kuomintang army? Something from half a century ago?" Ai Kailam and Kang Basa came in from the cave, Ai Kaila asked: "What Kuomintang army? What did you find?" Wang Hui took out the shoes and handed them to the two.How could a shoe as hard as a rock arouse Akailamu's interest, he handed it to Combasa.Kang Basa looked over and over, but couldn't understand, and handed it to Wang Hui in a daze. Wang Hui took back the shoes, still with that very calm expression, and said, "Let's go, this hole can't be wrong." This ice cave is relatively large, and Yuan Sen and Wang Hui walked in front side by side. The two flashlights swayed alternately in the dark ice cave, and the monotonous footsteps of the four could be heard in the cave. The ice cave was full of twists and turns, with big holes surrounded by small holes. After walking for half an hour, they found nothing except the broken cotton shoe at the entrance of the cave. Ai Kailam questioned: "Did I go wrong? There are holes here, there is no end. If we go on like this, if we don't get lost, we will die inside." Yuan Sen agreed with Akailamu's statement that he had marked the places where it was easy to get lost just now to prevent going back to the old way. Wang Hui said: "Wait a little longer..." Yuan Sen hummed, and a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He thought he was wrong, so he took a picture with his flashlight. At this moment, a bullet hit his flashlight. With a bang, shards of glass flew everywhere, and the four people on the side were so frightened that they got down and fought back, and the firepower of the submachine gun immediately suppressed each other. As soon as the gunfire stopped over there, Yuan Sen and Kang Basa jumped up and gave chase.Bullets were fired from both sides, and the empty ice cave was filled with echoes of gunshots and footsteps. They chased for a while and entered a bigger hole.It was dark all around, and the sound of the other party's footsteps disappeared.Kangbasa didn't dare to turn on the flashlight first, because it would attract bullets as soon as he turned it on. The other party was obviously hiding.They each found an ice pier to hide, and listened to the movement in the cave with their ears up. After listening for a long time, they heard nothing.In the distance came the footsteps of Wang Hui and Ai Kailamu, who were approaching the entrance of the cave. Yuan Sen patted Kang Basa, and Kang Basa understood, picked up the submachine gun and beat the front for a while, Yuan Sen took the opportunity to listen to the movement there. The other party was cunning and cunning, and seemed to know their intentions, but still did not fight back. At this time, Ai Kailam and Wang Hui crawled in front of them, Ai Kailam whispered: "Brother Yuan, how is it? Was the grandson shot?" Yuan Sen said: "There was no movement, and the moment I came in, I even lost my breath. It's very strange." Kangbasa retracted his head into the ice pier, raised the flashlight and flashed it, and then retracted immediately.He tried several times, but there was no response from the other party. Wang Hui said: "Don't move, the person has already left." Yuan Sen's flashlight was broken, and the four of them had only three lighting tools left. The three flashlights shone in three different directions, and what they saw was an empty ice cave.There is a stone shelf like a grape shade house above their heads. The shelf is very large and occupies more than half of the ice cave. They were in a corner of the stone shelf. There were many ice piers on the black-gray stone strips, one by one. The distance between the ice piers was not large, a bit like the crenels on the Great Wall. Yuan Sen's gaze followed the beam of light from the flashlight, and he suddenly said, "Kangbasa, don't move, just take a light in that direction." Kang Basa followed the direction he pointed, and a beam of light passed through the crenel and shot into the middle of the stone shelf. Yuan Sen looked carefully now, pointed to the middle of the shelf and said, "There are a few corpses lying there, let's go and have a look." The others didn't see anything specific because of their angle of view. Hearing what Yuan Sen said, they hurried over the ice pier, and the things in the middle of the stone shelf were revealed in front of them without any cover. It was a row of corpses, not just a few, but a large row. At a glance, there should be more than twenty corpses neatly arranged together. Those corpses were all dressed in neat gray cotton uniforms, with blue sky and white sun emblems emblazoned on their shoulder straps, cotton shoes on their feet, and fur military caps with ear protectors on their heads. They were frozen hard, like stones, and the exposed parts of their bodies were covered with a layer of white ice, and their faces were bluish-purple. Looking at these corpses, Yuan Sen was full of suspicion, and said, "Sure enough, before 1949, the Kuomintang army had been here." Ai Kailam walked around the row of frozen corpses twice, speechless, and said, "Damn it, more than fifty years ago, so many Kuomintang soldiers were looking for the tomb of Hambar Ata, which shows that it is priceless. Let's bump into it." Great luck." Yuan Sen looked at him coldly, and said, "Didn't you see that every time they died, they died in a row? More than twenty lives! If there is really a treasure inside, I'm afraid we will be ordered to enter it, and we will be ordered to take it out." These words made Ai Kailam stunned for a moment, his enthusiasm suddenly cooled down, and he stared at Yuan Sen with a beard and a glare.With so many frozen corpses in front of him, it is self-explanatory for him to refute how dangerous this tomb is. Wang Hui looked at one corpse over and over, then turned over another frozen corpse, and used a dagger to pick up the corpse's clothes and inspected it carefully. After tossing a few frozen corpses, she put them back to their original positions, and Ai Kailam followed her and asked, "Girl, do you see something?" Wang Hui looked at Ai Kailam for two seconds, and Ai Kailam felt guilty for a while. He touched his face and said, "Girl, I haven't washed my face these two days. It's not like you don't know, why don't you still watch it?" Wang Huidao: "There is a hole in the stomach of these corpses. Their death method is exactly the same as the people in the coniferous forest and the people in the helicopter." Yuan Sen and Kang Basa looked at each other, seeing fear in each other's eyes.Since they went to the snow mountain, all the corpses they saw were killed by that invisible beast. Maybe there was not only one beast, but a group of beasts.They guard the tomb of the gods, and once someone harasses them, they will disperse and hide in the snow-capped mountains, silently eliminating every intruder. They are silent and extremely fast, and end the life of the trespasser with a tragic killing method.Thinking of this, the hearts of the four were filled with fear.Wang Hui's expression is always indifferent, but this time it can't help but change a little. "What should we do? Little brother, damn it, we can't see that thing, so many people have been killed by it, and we can't escape, we must die by its hands." Ai Kailam suddenly became sad . Yuan Sen had no idea, if the thing had a shape, put it in front of him, no matter how fierce it was, he would not be timid, but facing this invisible beast, he felt very scared. "Now that we've come down, we can't go back. Let's get closer. Humans have a natural sensitivity to strange things approaching them. Once they find something wrong, they should immediately sound the alarm." Yuan Sen said. Several people around the stone bar got closer, all of them looked solemn. Kangbasa expressed his apologies and said, "Mr. Yuan, I'm really sorry. This matter should be resolved by my clansmen themselves, and you have been exposed to such danger." Yuan Sen patted Kangbasa on the shoulder and said, "Kangbasa, we are brothers who live and die together, don't say such things, let's face these difficulties together." Kangbasa lowered his head and reached out to hold Yuan Sen's hand. The two powerful hands were tightly held together, and the confidence in each other was tightly condensed through iron fists. They put these corpses back, walked through the big ice cave, and walked in the direction of penetrating into the depths of the ice cave. This ice cave is like an underground labyrinth. The solid thick ice is pressed against the boulders in the valley, forming various grotesque ice cave structures.All of this seems to be ingenious, but it also seems to be done by human beings. They passed through four large ice caves one after another. There were traces of dripping water on the roof of the ice cave, and the thin water droplets fell on the frozen ground, forming large water spots. Kang Basa said: "There is a big glacier coming out here, maybe the temperature in the belly of the valley will rise." "Did we go around in the wrong direction? Did Burke mention that the tomb of God must be inside the glacier?" Yuan Sen asked very puzzled. No one could answer this question. They walked through the dripping ice cave, turned a corner ahead, and saw a cave that could accommodate several people. They entered the hole and saw a pair of footprints on the ground.Those footprints were new, very shallow, and had been frozen. The temperature of this ice cave has dropped again. The ice on the roof and walls of the cave is extremely hard and there is no trace of melting. It is obvious that the footprints are stained with water from the front. Yuan Sen looked at his feet, and soon a pair of ice footprints appeared where he was standing. Yuan Sen looked at Kangbasa, and Kangbasa said, "Mr. Yuan, you are the one who put the sniper in the face." Wang Hui turned the flashlight farther away, and the footprints appeared in front of her many times, and then gradually disappeared. Yuan Sen said: "Obviously, the water has dried up, and that guy has entered the depths of the ice cave." He gripped the gun a little tighter as he spoke.Kang Basa walked in front with a submachine gun, and the other three were more vigilant.They moved a little apart, carefully observing what was going on ahead. They drove forward for hundreds of meters and turned a few turns in the ice cave. A rocky cave appeared in front of them. The cave was dark and there was no strong reflection of the flashlight on the ice cave. The four of them went in close to the wall of the cave. After walking a certain distance in the cave, they could see the corpses of Kuomintang soldiers lying on the ground.Those corpses were all frozen intact, with a thin layer of white frost forming on their bodies, with lifelike expressions on their faces and empty eyes. They examined the bellies of the bodies, and found that, like the bodies outside, they had all died at the mouth of the unseen beast.A gap was torn open in their stomachs, their intestines were pulled out, and a knot was tied in the middle. Ai Kaila turned over five corpses in a row, all of them were like this.His psychological pressure is increasing.This guy encountered a lot of strange things when he was digging treasures in the tomb before, but he has never seen such strange things. There are invisible beasts in the world, and the killing methods are exactly the same. They never miss, they are all brutal killings. His face was extremely pale, and he said: "I mean special forces, what kind of treasure is hidden in the god's tomb? The people in the cave were all killed by that beast, and now there are not many living people in it. Let's solve it." We are probably the only ones we met at the Hedi Night Market. If you say that there is no treasure in that tomb that we can use for a few lifetimes, we will withdraw." Kang Basa looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "It's not that we intend to harm you. I said before going down the glacier that we might lose our lives when we enter the tomb of the gods. I think Dad is right. There is a real danger here." You can't enter. Even my father doesn't know what is hidden in the tomb of the gods." Ai Kailam was heartbroken, sighed, covered his face with his hands, and squatted on the ground. Yuan Sen said: "At this time, we must be calm. The invisible beasts only threaten our safety, but never harm us. As long as we are careful, we may not be unable to find the tomb of the god." Ai Kailam covered his face and shook his head, and said: "Brother, I, Ai Kailam, am not particularly afraid of death, but when I saw so many people dying so terribly, I panicked. If you say be careful, then Can many people be careless together? But I was killed by that thing." Yuan Sen looked at Wang Hui helplessly.She no longer had the fear she had at the corpses that were tortured and killed by wild beasts, and her face was still very flat.Yuan Sen always thought she was weird, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, and now he finally understood.The horror of this woman is that her psychological quality is so good that she is abnormal. Even if the sky falls, she can still behave calmly. Wang Hui cast the flashlight into the distance, found Yuan Sen staring at her, and asked, "What are you looking at?" Yuan Sen smiled wryly, "No, it's just - just - I think you are too calm, so calm that people feel scared." Wang Hui snorted coldly, and said, "The danger lies before us. We have to die or find the tomb of the gods. There is no other way. We don't even have a way out. What else is there to be afraid of?" Yuan Sen was choked by her and shook his head helplessly. 王慧也不理会他，继续朝前走。她的手电光在漆黑的山洞里跳跃着，尸体、中正式步枪、黑色的洞壁、倒挂的冰凌，一一呈现在四人面前。 “咦，那是什么？”王慧突然惊呼道。 他们快步奔过去，发现一个样子极土的挑子。挑子下面有一具尸体，也是一身国民党军队制服，此人的死法与他的同伴一模一样。 王慧试图把挑子从他手里拿出来，尸体被冻得硬如磐石，袁森在旁边协助，用枪托砸了好几下，才弄开他的手。 簸箕里是空的，一点泥沙都没有，挑子被磨出了一层黄光，用手抹掉上面的冰，挑子上的光依旧很亮。 “他们在挑东西？在冰川下面挑担子？”袁森喃喃自语道。 王慧道：“到前面看看，应该会发现更多东西。” 他们穿过山洞，前面豁然开朗，竟然是一个非常大的山洞，山洞的半边洞壁都塌了。洞壁呈椭圆形走势，旁边有许多作业工具，坎土曼、铲子、挖镐等等，尸体随处可见。 工具、尸体和废弃的工程摆在那里，就像一幅写实油画，四人看着这幅场景，无不愕然。 “这帮孙子躲在冰川下挖洞？”艾凯拉木奇道，对隐形野兽的恐惧也暂时减少了一点儿。 这个山洞呈巨大的弧形，四人费了好大的劲儿才绕过半圈，他们初步估计弧形半径在五百米左右。沿路都是国民党军队的尸体，人数之多，完全难以想象，其中不乏高级军官和少量的俄罗斯大胡子。 弧形洞壁的周围还摆了许多高大的铁炉子。袁森目测了一下，那炉子高约三十米，炉胆是立鸡蛋形，中间粗两端尖，中间的半径约二十米，炉体用铁架固定，架子下面打桩，被紧紧地拴住了。 每隔几十米就有一个铁炉子，排列得非常整齐，看起来就像炼油厂的大油缸。他们围着弧形山洞走了半圈，看到了十多个这样的铁炉。 艾凯拉木一路咋舌，吓得眼珠子都要掉出来了，道：“娘的，我的乖乖，国民党军队搞什么呀？弄这么多炉子炼尸啊？” 没人能猜到国民党军队和俄罗斯人在半个世纪以前做这一切是为了什么，他们围着最近的那个铁炉子转了两圈，又是震惊又是疑惑。 康巴萨道：“我爬上去看看炉膛里装的是什么，应该就能猜到炉子的作用。” 袁森皱眉不语，康巴萨正要翻身上去时，他突然说：“康巴萨，你们族里的人是不是经常上雪山祭祀？” 康巴萨不明所以，道：“是的，祭祀哈木巴尔阿塔神是我们族里最大的活动，跟汉人的春节一样。我们族里每年都会举行一次盛大的祭祀，人人都知道我们是靠着哈木巴尔阿塔神的庇佑才活到现在的，却没有人知道哈木巴尔阿塔神到底是谁，我们为什么要奉他为最大的神明，大多数族人都没有见过他的样子。” “国民党军队在冰川底下修筑这么大的工程，他们的动作肯定不小，你的族人一向警戒森严，难道没有发觉吗？”袁森奇道。 康巴萨的脸上显出茫然的神色，道：“袁先生，这个的确很奇怪，等我们跟我爸爸的人会面时，可以问问他。” 袁森道：“好，康巴萨，你小心一点。” 康巴萨把枪挂在背上，咬着手电筒，翻身就爬上了铁架子。他爬了十多米高，又绕着炉胆转到后面去找气阀的位置。 三人都盯着康巴萨，黑暗中传出一声惨叫，袁森想也不想，寻着声音的方向立刻冲过去。艾凯拉木和王慧一前一后跟了过去。 那惨叫声从黑暗深处传来，刺得人耳根子疼，心里发慌。他们绕着弧形洞壁跑了十多分钟，踢到无数具尸体，饶是袁森身手矫健，也被绊倒过多次。 他们追到发出声音的地方时，只看到半截尸体和满地血腥，这幅场景比之其他场景，有过之而无不及。 那尸体的体态和穿着，他们再熟悉不过了，就是在布尔津河堤夜市与他们起冲突的那伙人之一，那人只剩下下肢，身体其他部位不翼而飞了。尸体上到处都是伤口，不远处有一支微型冲锋枪。 袁森站在距离尸体几米之外的地方，不忍心再靠近一些，这幅场景实在太残忍了。 艾凯拉木骂道：“娘的，这畜生换新玩法了，越来越变态了。” 袁森绕过尸体，把周围的地面照了一番，发现了一串沾血的梅花状脚印，那脚印伸向黑暗深处，在前面二十米处完全消失了。 “按照山洞的走势，这里很有可能是一个封闭的圆，隐形野兽可能又绕回去了。”王慧看着山洞深处，若有所思。 “绕回去了？它去找康巴萨了！”袁森突然明白过来，大叫道。 袁森话还没说完，他们背后突然响起了响亮的兽吼声。这是他们第一次听到它的叫声，雄浑、有力、凶悍，有一种王者的霸气，令人听了一下子冷到骨子里。 兽吼声在山洞里激起巨大的回声，震得三人汗毛倒立。 他们醒悟过来，拔腿就往回跑。那声兽吼过后，山洞里就没了其他声音，袁森好一阵担心，祈祷康巴萨躲进了炉膛里，关了铁门，那东西无法进去。 三人在铁炉子与尸体之间穿梭，他们回到出发的地方，康巴萨已经没了踪影，地上散乱的簸箕、挑子、坎土曼还在原位，一切都表明，野兽没有发现康巴萨。 “康巴萨进炉膛去了，咱们爬进去看看。”袁森道。 他当先爬上去，按照康巴萨当初爬的路线，上了铁架子，爬到铁炉中线位置，又挪到后面，在一个极其隐蔽的地方发现了一个小铁门。那门与炉子咬合得完好，只有一条极细的凹线，袁森确定小铁门的位置后，就在上面摸索起来。 袁森摸来摸去，找不到门把手。艾凯拉木跟在袁森后面，他见袁森一直不动，就催他。袁森怎么都找不到着力的地方，心中暗自奇怪。艾凯拉木催了几下就没声音了，袁森往后退了退，发现身后没人，不由得吃了一惊。 小铁门突然被人从里面推开了，袁森闪身避开弹出来的铁门，里面是一个透明的物体，像一扇带着玻璃的小窗。 袁森把手电光对准透明物体，那东西上面蒙了一层灰黄色的污秽物，看起来模模糊糊，有一张脸正贴在透明物上，样子极其诡异恐怖。袁森吓得魂飞魄散，那张脸不是别人的，正是跟在他后面的艾凯拉木的。 他又退一步，扭头去看身后的铁架子，王慧连影子都没了，她站过的地方还留着脚印。 袁森又惊又疑，出了一身冷汗，再看看透明物体，艾凯拉木已经没了影子，炉膛里黑乎乎的，完全看不清楚里面的状况。 他退到艾凯拉木刚才站的地方，仔细观察炉壁的动静。这时，他察觉到铁炉顶上有什么东西正朝他逼近，那是危险的信号。他立刻关了手电筒，山洞里漆黑一片，头顶上的东西离他越来越近，他能感觉到那东西喷出来的气息热热地扑进他的脖子里。 他的心拧成一团，抬枪就朝对方脑袋顶去，突然，一只手抓住了他。他心里一寒，还没来得及反抗，就被拖进铁炉里去了。 袁森反手把枪顶在那人的腰上，低声道：“什么人？” 那人道：“袁先生，是我，康巴萨。” 袁森听到康巴萨的声音，心里一喜，松了枪。他要去开手电筒，康巴萨按住他的手，悄声道：“先别动，炉膛里除了我们四个人，还有别的东西。” 袁森大惊道：“那野兽进了炉膛？那咱们还不赶紧出去，在里面等它虐杀啊？” 康巴萨低声道：“不是它，可能还有别的东西，我感觉我们已经被它盯上了。” “还有别的东西？” 袁森感到有人走了过来，康巴萨道：“别紧张，是王助理和艾凯拉木，我们在炉膛里面都听到了有人说话的声音。” “还有别人？” 康巴萨点头道：“我进炉膛的时候仔细查看了这里面的布局，炉膛一共有三层，我们现在在第二层，那声音应该是从底下传来的，很有可能是抢地图的那帮人。” 艾凯拉木插嘴说：“差不多了，那声音消失有十来分钟了，他们要是发现了咱们，早开黑枪了，待在这么黑的地方真憋气。” 康巴萨道：“好，打开手电吧。” 王慧的手电先亮了起来。在漆黑的环境里睁开眼睛会有几秒钟不适应，袁森使劲眨巴了几下眼睛，才看清楚眼前这几个人。 袁森道：“你们都听到他们说话的声音了？” 艾凯拉木连连点头，道：“可不是，说话的声音很小，内容听不清楚，语速还是能感觉到的，听口气，像河堤夜市那帮流氓。” “嗯——”袁森沉吟着，道，“他们死得差不多了，剩下的人不是两个就是三个，我们可以动手了。最好抓活的，咱们对神墓一无所知，他们知道的肯定比我们多。” 艾凯拉木眉开眼笑，道：“有道理，他们肯定是为盗宝而来的，我们进来全是抹黑瞎撞，问出宝藏路线，再处理他们也不迟。” 袁森直摇头。他们观察了一下地形，要从这层炉膛的一个角落下去，才能到达底层。角落有一层挡板，不知道挡板下层是什么东西。 康巴萨拆了挡板，露出一个窄窄的楼梯，袁森缩身下去。他们看清楚底层炉膛后，发现自己完全错了，炉膛可以一眼望到头，里面堆满了煤炭。下了楼梯，就没办法容下半个人了。 “居然没人，你们三个人不会同时听错吧？”袁森奇道。 康巴萨脸色煞白，道：“袁先生，我怀疑——我怀疑——” 康巴萨的情绪激动起来，袁森也明白过来，道：“你是说，那声音跟火焰山地下空间的怪声一样，是一种过去的声音，只是因为某种原因把它记录下来了，现在只是重新播放？” 康巴萨道：“第三层炉膛我也上去查看过，是空的。” 袁森咬着牙道：“如果你们听到的声音跟地下空间的一样，至少可以说明一件事，我们这一趟没白来。地下空间壁画上的人与你们的哈木巴尔阿塔神就是同一个人。” 康巴萨转忧为喜，艾凯拉木从挡板孔探出脑袋来，道：“没人？” 袁森对他摆摆手，两人相继出了底层炉膛。 王慧一看两人脸色就知道怎么回事了，道：“我带了录音设备，如果那声音再出现，就可以录下来，放大听。”
