"A thousand cups won't make you drunk. Looks like we need to rest near the iceberg ahead. The blizzard shows no sign of stopping. This won't work. Most of the soldiers can't hold on any longer, right?"
"Every second of time is very important to us now. Every second earlier we can reach the heartland of the Turks, one less Mongolian will die in the Burerhan Mountains. Now is not the most difficult time, we can't stop!"
Zhou Yi felt the intensity of the blizzard. If he continued to slow down in such a place, even if he reached the rear of the Turks, all the people in the Burhan Mountains would have died.
"But this is too dangerous! We might be wiped out here! We..."
"It doesn't matter what the danger and sacrifice are, we just need to make sure this path is the right one." Zhou Yi's expression was extremely firm. He couldn't let down his guard at this time. He had to be cruel, cruel to himself and to the soldiers. From the beginning, they had no choice.
There were no more problems because they came here with only one purpose, to cross this dangerous and desperate place.
There is a power in human nature called refusal to accept anything. The history of human development is full of this. It is precisely because of this kind of refusal to accept that human beings can conquer.
"We have to advance another five kilometers. Are you okay with that?" Zhou Yi said to everyone.
“No big deal!”
"Don't worry, this level of difficulty is nothing to us!"
Yun Chongxiao could see that they really didn't care. The tolerance of everyone in the Qiyan tribe was beyond imagination. If it were any of his previous Mingjiao teams, facing such an environment, they would have retreated long ago.
They say they are not afraid of death, but this group of people really mean it.
"Stay awake, pay attention to counting the number of people, and keep moving forward. Brothers, shout, this is nothing!" Zhamuhe shouted. In this team, he had the highest status except Zhou Yi. At this moment, Zhou Yi was leading the team in the front, and he was guarding the rear to prevent anyone from falling behind. However, his voice was blown away by the strong wind as soon as it came out.
"Forward!" Zhou Yi roared, penetrating the snow and wind. The Nine Heavens Qi was used on him, like a burst of stimulants that directly hit the hearts of the soldiers.
This is a test, a battle against people and against nature. The enemy may take their lives, but they can never defeat their will.
Zhou Yi started from the front of the team and asked the back of the team. No words were needed at this time, just a pat on the shoulder was strength, and the other thirteen wings were also paying attention to the situation of their brothers.
Just as the team was moving forward with great momentum, there were bursts of bangs. Huge ice balls and ice cones were mixed in the snowstorm, and some soldiers were injured!
"Defense, defense!" The team immediately stopped advancing and tried their best to resist. The surroundings were all white. In the blizzard, huge ice balls and ice cones appeared from time to time. Under this kind of power, if the soldiers were not prepared, they would definitely be pierced directly.
Here everyone's will is as unshakable as steel, but the body cannot be overdrawn indefinitely. This is also the most terrifying thing about this harsh environment. It can take people's lives without knowing it.
After five hours, the storm finally weakened. Most importantly, the ice inside disappeared, which slowed down the team's progress a lot. However, the mountain stream-like area in front of them became even more difficult to walk on. There were vast valleys on both sides, and no one knew what was below. No matter what it was, once they left the team and fell in, there would be no hope.
"After crossing this ravine, we will enter a relatively safe place due to the protective effect formed by the mountain peaks. If nothing unexpected happens, we will have accomplished a feat that no one has ever accomplished before, no matter what is waiting on the other side." Zhou Yi's voice said.
"Let's get through here first!" Zhamuhe nodded. This road seemed to have no end. It was roughly estimated to be at least several kilometers long. The difficulty was that the road ahead was difficult to walk on. Falling or rolling would cause too many problems. And here, there was a huge slope. Once you went down, you would not be able to find it.
In the vast sky, in this world where life has become extinct, a team of humans is slowly advancing!
Only when you really set foot on this road do you realize how difficult it is to walk on. Compared to this Tianjian, the road ahead is really flat and happy. Your ears are filled with whistling sounds like the calls of the dead, constantly destroying everyone's nerves. The wind is blowing fiercely, and the temperature has reached more than 40 degrees below zero. If you just hold on for a while, it will be nothing for the people here, but this is endless torture. In such an environment, if you are a little weak, you will have hallucinations, and hallucinations will make people fall into a kind of warmth until the end of their lives.
Once you set out on the road, you must never stop, because once you stop, you will never be able to move forward again.
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
When the first glimmer of dawn illuminated the Altai Mountains and the entire silent Turkic royal court had not yet awakened from its sleep, a tide of black-armored cavalry suddenly rushed in from afar!
The sentry soldier who first discovered the situation jumped down from the city wall without paying attention to the height of the wall and hurriedly ran towards the camp. His busy figure revealed panic.
The officers who didn't know what was going on asked each other breathlessly: "What happened?"
"Look at that!" A guard shouted, pointing at the horizon. Then everyone's questions were answered.
A black line appeared on the horizon where the sun was rising in the distance. The black line was like a thin stream of water. This stream of water was flying towards the Turkic royal court at an alarming speed. Even though it was hundreds of feet away, the almost tangible pressure from the sky was like a thick black cloud pressing down!
All the soldiers could feel a terrifying will that was almost like biting!
They are here to fight to the death!
Thousands of troops surged out from the horizon and rushed towards the Turkic royal court with overwhelming momentum. The terrifying black iron armor reflected the sunlight, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at it. The soldiers and horses surged forward, as powerful as a storm and as fierce as a hurricane. They surged in thousands, rolled in dense formations and pounced on this isolated city next to the Altai Mountains!
"Black iron armor, blue yellow flags, they are Mongolians." Finally, a discerning general appeared and recognized the identities of Zhou Yi and his party on the city wall.
"The Mongolian army is coming!" The terrible news spread rapidly throughout the city, and endless dark clouds quickly enveloped everyone's heart.
Almost all the generals on the city wall looked at the suddenly appearing army in panic, and were so shocked that they seemed to have turned into stone.
How did those Mongols come from? (To be continued)
