Chapter 10: The Little Brother Is Truly Not Human!
The group walked and trudged one after another on the iceberg.
Along the way, they encountered a sudden drop in temperature.
After more than three hours, they finally approached their destination—
A giant crevice, appearing within the iceberg, was extremely striking.
“Huff! Huff!”
“Take a break, take a break!”
“I'm dead tired!”
…
Almost everyone's strength had reached its limit.
Even Lao Hu and Wang Fatty, who had been soldiers, were panting heavily.
Professor Chen felt that his old bones were about to fall apart.
Although young, the few college students hadn't experienced such harsh environment trekking, and they all felt their muscles aching.
Yet in this situation…
Everyone noticed that Han Li remained expressionless, his breathing calm, not at all like someone who had walked for more than three hours in a highland mountain range!
“Even the army's top soldiers aren't as durable as him!”
Wang Fatty, sitting on the snow, gasped for breath, watching Han Li standing tall, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
“This is a good thing.”
Lao Hu leaned against a dry tree trunk, smiling and taking a sip of water: “The more powerful Han Li is, the less people… the less people will be in the King of Hell's Book of Life!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Fatty was stunned.
A strange smile appeared on his big face, and he quickly crawled up, using both hands and feet.
Giving Lao Hu a look, Wang Fatty took out his treasured local snack from his pocket and walked towards Han Li.
“Little Brother Han, come, eat something!”
“This beef jerky is a specialty from our place… give it a try.”
Wang Fatty stuffed the several packets of beef jerky in his arms into Han Li's embrace, then whispered mysteriously: “This cow is no ordinary cow…”
Facing such kindness, Han Li didn't refuse, smiling: “Thank you.”
Wang Fatty nodded with a smile and left happily.
“Fatty, give us some too!”
“Yeah, I want to try this beef jerky too!”
“The buns are so hard to swallow, Fatty, give us some beef jerky to go with it.”
Sa Di Peng, Chu Jian, and Ye Yi Xin saw this and looked longingly.
Although they had brought three days' worth of supplies, under such harsh conditions, they couldn't bring delicious food and drink, only lightweight items like buns and flatbreads.
After walking for so long, only eating buns for energy, it was naturally unpleasant.
Moreover, seeing others actually having meat to eat!
“Go go go, you guys don't understand.”
Wang Fatty, however, waved his hand without any courtesy.
“This is special beef jerky, very chewy, much more effective than your crappy black donkey hooves! It's more than enough to make zongzi with it!”
“This kind of cow is rare, there's not enough of this good stuff to feed you guys, if you eat any more it'll be extinct!”
Lao Hu, seeing this, shook his head with a smile.
He didn't expect Fatty to be so quick to curry favor.
This guy is really thick-skinned!
While he also liked Han Li, he wouldn't be so flattering!
Wang Fatty's boasting also caught Xue Li Yang's attention.
After all, normal people wouldn't say something like "make zongzi"!
However, this also indicated that the beef jerky was probably not made from ordinary yellow cattle or water buffalo.
Han Li took a bite and indeed felt a difference.
Due to the Elephant Armor Technique, his blood qi was abundant, even after walking for more than three hours, he didn't consume much.
However, this beef jerky quickly replenished that blood qi.
Making his mental state remain energetic!
Not feeling the slightest bit tired!
“Alright, let's take a break, then we'll go down and see… if we can find Mr. Walter's notes.”
Xue Li Yang shouted, taking care of Professor Chen next to her.
Everyone rested for a while in place.
Ultimately, as the guide, Lao Hu quickly took out a bundle of climbing ropes from his bag.
Reaching the edge of the canyon, he attached the rope to a metal spike, hammering it into the ice.
But!
The ice layer was thick, and they were also experiencing altitude sickness.
Even though he was a veteran, experienced, and physically fit…
He hammered and hammered for a while, only managing to drive it in a third of the way.
Han Li, not far away, watched for a while, finally couldn't bear it any longer…
He also took out a bundle of climbing ropes and walked to the edge of the cliff.
Although the Elephant Armor Technique gave him an invulnerable body, with such a deep canyon, if the climbing rope came loose, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be smashed into a bloody mess.
For safety's sake.
Han Li felt that driving the spike in himself would be more reliable.
Bang!
With a loud sound, Han Li, barehanded, directly embedded the metal spike into the frozen earth deep within the ice with one slap!
Lao Hu, who was far away, saw this…
He stood silently in the cold wind, his hair disheveled!
Is… is this still a human?
After a while…
Lao Hu looked down at the long, deep crack at his feet.
The cold wind howled past, making his cheeks ache.
What he saw was a bottomless abyss.
Above was ice and snow, below was endless depth.
Thinking of his dead comrades and the missing archaeological team…
Lao Hu hesitated for a moment, then finally, with a stiff face, walked towards Han Li.
“Little Brother Han, there's something… I want to talk to you about…”
