Chapter 442 - 441
Snowflakes like grains of salt were whipped by the north wind and slapped against the face; soon, the hat turned white, signaling a change in the weather was coming.
Ye Tian persisted in descending for a while longer, but to no avail; the ice wall had become slicker. Ye Tian began to curse himself in his mind – what a pain to descend when nightfall was fast approaching! In his moment of anxiety, Ye Tian suddenly spotted an area on the ice wall not far away that appeared to be a different color.
What place was that?
That place was not only differently colored from the others, but it also seemed like something was there, moving faintly. By then, the wind and snow had intensified. Weather on the ice field changed quickly, and the snow turned from small grains to large flakes, wildly fluttering about like goose feathers.
Ye Tian began to move toward the area of different color. Looking at the current situation, it seemed he might meet his fate here today.
Horizontal movement was much more difficult than vertical, especially at this high altitude. The challenges of gravity alone were already taxing, to say nothing of facing such fierce wind and snow. It was lucky that the rope was of good quality; otherwise, it would have snapped by now. The spot wasn’t far, and the rope was long enough. Fortunately, there were plenty of ice nodules to step on – it was likely that the rock face below was of the type with protruding stones to create this topography.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Tian saw that the differently colored spot turned out to be a cave embedded in the ice wall. That certainly made it stand out from the surrounding white.
My God, you finally opened your eyes!
