After "One Piece's Long Road", "Survival in the Sword God's Domain" and "Naruto's Scourge", this is the fourth Doujin. New book needs to be recommended.
"I'm coming!"
On the summit of Qiongmu Zitag Mountain in the middle section of the Kunlun Mountains, white clouds lingered, reflecting the white snow on the summit.
A voice full of excitement and joy shuttled through the clouds and white snow, spreading far and wide. If someone of the same kind who liked to challenge mountains heard it, they might empathize with it.
I'm coming … It's like a trip here, containing an extraordinary profound meaning. For every mountain challenger, this was the end, but also a new starting point.
Looking down at the mountains in the vast expanse of white, the person who made the domineering declaration was a young man with a buzz cut. His body was sturdy but not overly robust. His eyebrows were like swords, and his heroic spirit was compelling. Although his eyes were slightly narrowed, there was a vigorous vitality in the gaps. That was a look that couldn't wait to rush to tomorrow.
Perhaps the sword-like eyebrows were too heroic, but when things reach the extreme, the right eyebrow was broken, leaving three scars caused by sharp claws. The man's lips were relatively thin, weakening the sense of heroic spirit coming from him. At the same time, his skin color was light wheat, adding a touch of masculinity.
Overall, he could be said to be handsome, but the slightly hideous scar on the right eyebrow slightly destroyed the overall sense of the overall sense.
This man's name was Luo Lie, a gourmet who couldn't be judged by common sense. Compared to his identity as a gourmet, he was more like an adventurer who advocated the spirit of adventure.
He stood at the highest point of Qiongmu Zitag Mountain, opening his arms like a roc spreading its wings, facing the strong wind and the ultra-low temperature air, squinting his eyes slightly, with a face of enjoyment, as if embracing the harsh environment in front of him that resisted human survival.
For the altitude, the clothes on Luo Lie's body were frighteningly thin, just a thin set of black sportswear, and the luggage he carried was the same. It was only a simple backpack, and it was not a professional mountaineering backpack.
This scene, in the eyes of any mountaineering enthusiast, was an extremely strange scene.
In the middle section of the Kunlun Mountains, there were eight mountains with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. One of them was the Qiongmu Zitag Mountain where Luo Lie was located. It was an iceberg with an altitude of 6,920 meters. At such a high altitude, not to mention the thin oxygen, the temperature was conservatively estimated to be minus 38 degrees.
What kind of concept was that? If he spat out a mouthful of saliva, it would be frozen into ice before it hit the ground. However, Luo Lie was only wearing a thin sportswear. He looked unaffected by the ultra-low temperature and did not need the help of an oxygen tank at all.
"Hu …"
Luo Lie exhaled a breath of hot air, which turned into frost in the blink of an eye. He put his hand on his forehead and looked at another group of peaks in the distance, as if that was his destination, and this peak was just a temporary place to climb the mountain.
"The 'Unfreezing Lake' that Uncle Atamu mentioned is at the top of the highest mountain. Although it is only a legend, nothing is too strange in this vast world!"
Luo Lie bent down slightly, picked up the backpack at his feet, and slung it over his shoulder. He then jumped down the steep snow slope and turned into a black shadow sliding on the snow-covered slope.
The scene was really terrifying. Fortunately, no one saw this scene, or they would definitely be shocked.
A year ago, Luo Lie scoffed at the various legends made up by words. He was an explorer, and he would only accept the things he was looking for if he saw it with his own eyes. However, a year later, he firmly believed that all the legends that had been passed down from ancient times to the present were not all groundless rumors. For example, the 'Unfreezing Lake' that only the older generation of Uyghurs knew about.
The turning point of change was a year ago, when he almost died, and it was also the time when he welcomed a new life.
There were countless high mountains in the Kunlun Mountain Range. Luo Lie had just arrived at the Kunlun Mountain Range a year ago. He had the spirit of 'If you don't seek death, you won't die' when he first climbed the mountain. This was the inevitable result because he did not make full preparations and did not have the support of a team. Even if his physical fitness was good, it was obvious that he would fail the mountain.
However, Luo Lie was a lucky man. When he was exhausted and fell into the canyon from the hillside in a daze, he was lucky to fall on a cliff protruding from the mountain. Because of a small green tree that grew there, it cushioned the impact of the fall, so he did not fall to his death immediately. Instead, four of his ribs were broken, and his arms and legs were directly broken.
Although he did not fall to his death directly, he was in a place where he could not cry for help. Coupled with his serious injuries, he could only wait for death.
The so-called luck was reflected in this. Just like the protagonist in a novel, if he survived a disaster, he would have a fortuitous encounter. The small tree that cushioned the impact of the fall bore a crystal clear white fruit that was only the size of a baby's fist.
At that time, Luo Lie, who thought that he would rather die than be a hungry ghost, used all his strength to pick the fruit. He did not care if it was poisonous or not, he just swallowed it. That was how he survived.
He had never told anyone about this matter, because this was the root cause of the changes in his body.
Luo Lie went down the mountain in a superhuman way. He reached out his hand to touch the jade hanging on his chest through his clothes. He treated it as a protective amulet, and he would always touch it a few times when he was in danger.
This jade was dug out from the stone wall where the small tree's roots were. It was as round as a stone, about the size of a quail egg. It was as white as snow, transparent and clear, without the slightest pattern.
Luo Lie did not think that this jade was an ordinary thing. He even thought that this jade was the 'culprit' that caused the birth of that strange fruit.
Ever since he swallowed that fruit, not only did it heal his injuries in a short time, but after a day, he could clearly feel the free life energy in his body. It seemed to be the sensory ability that the fruit gave him.
The 'life energy' that originated from his body seemed to be very weak. However, perhaps it was the guidance of his life instinct, without anyone teaching him, Luo Lie mastered the method of how to make the life energy in his body stronger. Only then would the life energy that he emitted become more vigorous.
Luo Lie called this method 'Qi Cultivation'.
He thought that the so-called 'Qi' was the aura of life energy. He was not the only one who had it. Even the strong beasts, the mediocre humans, and the weak ants all had the aura of life, which was the 'Qi' that he was cultivating now.
As the saying went, the greater the ability, the greater the heart.
Keeping the secret of the fortuitous encounter in his heart, Luo Lie's dream had now become his goal. He wanted to set foot in the 'forbidden area of humans', go to places that no one had ever seen before, encounter things that no one had ever seen before, and search for unknown ingredients.
A week later, he set foot on a mountain peak that was 7,500 meters above sea level. Surrounded by mountains, a mirror-like lake appeared in front of him. Its area was roughly estimated to be more than 20,000 square meters, about the size of 50 basketball courts.
"It should be here, the Unfreezing Lake."
Looking at the calm lake that reflected the white clouds in the sky, Luo Lie smiled excitedly. He leaped and went down the slope that was accumulated with snow. Soon, he arrived at the lake.
The lake above the mountain was the spring of life in the eyes of the creatures. The water in the lake was usually clear and there were always flocks of birds and wild animals around. However, when the altitude was above 7,000 meters, no creatures could be seen around the lake.
The Unfreezing Lake in the Uygur legends was here. Judging from the terrain, it was more like a volcanic crater. The lake was covered by the surrounding mountains. If one did not climb to a higher mountain, it would be difficult to find the lake here.
Luo Lie did not know the exact location of the Unfreezing Lake. He walked in a direction and walked past mountains before he finally found this lifeless lake in this volcanic crater terrain.
"The temperature is so low, it should be frozen, but …"
Luo Lie threw his backpack by his feet and squatted down. He reached his hand into the water. It was bone-chilling to the touch, he could not even touch the small ice shards. He smiled and his eyes were shining.
"Is it a dead lake or a living lake? Let me see."
A surge of excitement surged in his chest. He took off his sportswear and revealed a dark one-piece diving suit. He came prepared.
He threw his clothes aside and bent down to take out a headlamp that looked like a miner's lamp from his backpack. After he turned it on, a strong beam of light shot into the distance.
He tied the lamp to his forehead, took out an underwater camera and hung it around his neck, and put on a pair of goggles. After making all these preparations, he was not afraid of any potential threats. He did not bring an oxygen tank and directly jumped into the lake.
After he entered the water, the lake was bone-chilling cold. It was like layers of ice wrapped around his body, but it was still within the range that Luo Lie could withstand.
The lake was clear and the light could illuminate very far. There were no aquatic plants, no debris, and no creatures.
Logically speaking, the lake was so clear that the sunlight should be able to illuminate the bottom of the lake. However, after Luo Lie entered the water, he found that the bottom of the lake was dark and silent.
He did not know if it was because of the dark and silent world at the bottom of the lake or because the water temperature was bone-chilling. Even Luo Lie, who had supernatural abilities, could not help but feel a chill quietly spreading from his heart.
"I can't feel any aura. There should be no creatures."
Without the help of any tools, he dived straight down to a depth of 200 meters. At this time, the light from the headlamp finally reached the bottom.
"Hmm?"
Bubbles came out of Luo Lie's mouth and nose.
"Is that … a ruin?"
Seeing the place where the light shone, Luo Lie's eyes under the goggles suddenly widened, revealing a horrified light.
How could there be a ruin of a building in such a place?
If this place was a desert or the depths of a mountain, it would not be a big deal. However, it was at the bottom of a lake more than 7,500 meters above sea level.
Suppressing the shock rising in his heart, Luo Lie continued to dive and finally came to the ruins of the building at the bottom of the lake. Without hesitation, he picked up the camera and took several photos in a row.
"This is an amazing discovery."
Luo Lie thought excitedly. Before he could see the whole picture of the ruins, he was attracted by the unknown text on a stone pillar. After he got closer, he saw the unknown text with the help of the headlamp.
"It looks like hieroglyphics." Luo Lie stretched out his hand and gently stroked the picture-like text on the stone pillar. Doubts emerged in his heart.
At this moment, Luo Lie's body suddenly shook. He did not know when, but a powerful aura that could not be described with words appeared behind him out of thin air!
Luo Lie's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He immediately turned around. Before he could see anything clearly, he was already in the endless darkness.
His consciousness did not pause or sleep at all. The feeling from his body was indescribable. It was like stepping on the ground in a weightless situation in space. The feeling at that moment was wonderful and made Luo Lie feel even more terrified.
A second ago, he was wrapped in heavy water pressure. The next second, he was directly covered by various hard objects that exuded a foul smell.
It was the same darkness, but it was a different world.
He did not know what was going on. He held his breath and tried to push aside the hard objects that he did not know what they were. He climbed up.
No matter what happened, he was sure of one thing. The place where he was now was not the bottom of the lake, but an unknown place.
After climbing up for a distance, he opened something that looked like an old-fashioned television. The light poured into his eyes, making Luo Lie squint slightly. After a moment, he got used to the light and got out.
At this moment, he finally knew where he was. It was a mountain of trash, and the thing he had just pushed away was indeed an old-fashioned, worn-out television.
"Where … is this?"
Luo Lie looked at the many garbage piles that were emitting smoke and miasma around him and the barren land further away. He was at a loss.
Suddenly, Luo Lie noticed the eyes looking at him from below. He immediately looked down. Three people in white protective suits were looking up at him standing on the garbage mountain. Luo Lie could not see the expressions of the three people because of the gas masks.
"Human, protective suit, garbage pile?" After seeing the clothes of the three people, these three terms suddenly popped up in Luo Lie's mind. He did not realize the changes in his body.
The sunlight passed through the smoke and miasma and became weak. It was projected on the goggles of the protective suits of the three people below. It reflected a shirtless black-haired boy standing on the garbage mountain and looking at them blankly.
Although everything could be received here, including life and corpses, it was always babies that were abandoned here. It was rare to see a child about ten years old.
Perhaps he could sense that the people in protective suits were looking at him strangely. Luo Lie looked down at his body and his hair stood on end.
