Chapter 12: The Queen Mother of the West's Elixir of Immortality! The River of Forgetfulness in Hell!
“Everyone, when you go down, don’t rush. Make sure you're stable with each step, don’t sway left or right!”
“The wind is strong in the Kunlun glacier. Once you start swaying, the amplitude will become increasingly larger!”
“You could end up falling and dying!”
Shirley Yang seemed to be quite familiar with this, and before they began their descent, she gave a serious warning.
“Right, Miss Yang is right!”
Chu Jian, who enjoyed mountain climbing, immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone was seriously taking in her words, Shirley Yang went down first.
On the other side, Lao Hu and Han Li exchanged glances, slightly nodding their heads, following close behind.
Everyone began their descent one after another.
Han Li, however, did not rush to move, standing in place, without hurriedly charging downwards.
Because, the moment his divine consciousness opened…
He realized there was something he needed to do.
Waiting until the very end.
Han Li leisurely clipped onto the climbing rope, lightly tapping his toes, quickly sliding down!
Shirley Yang, Lao Hu, and Fatty Wang, who had already reached the bottom of the canyon…
Were already quite used to Han Li’s proficient skills!
After all.
Han Li had even more amazing feats to his name than just being proficient in climbing!
“Hey, what’s he doing?!”
At this moment.
Hao Aiguo suddenly shouted in anger!
Everyone followed his gaze—
They saw that Han Li, who was halfway down his descent, suddenly…
Started swaying violently left and right!
“What’s going on?”
“Didn’t we already remind him before descending?”
“Junior Brother… this is reckless!”
“Wait, is he trying to pick… something?”
Amidst the barrage of speechless complaints, Fatty Wang was quick-witted.
He discovered that Han Li was using his swaying as leverage, seemingly wanting to pluck a green plant from a crevice in the cliff!
A splash of green, like a miracle, appeared in this blinding white world of ice and snow!
Han Li successfully plucked it!
Looking at the white long-haired, fluffy, interwoven snow lotus, with its green leaves, in his hand, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The moment his divine consciousness opened!
He ‘saw’ this wild snow lotus growing stubbornly in the crevice of the cliff!
This was no ordinary wild snow lotus!
It was the legendary ‘Purple Heart Snow Lotus’…
The flower was tubular, purple-red, with two-lobed stigmas.
The achene was cylindrical, with longitudinal ridges, and two-layered plumose pappus.
It was light and brittle!
All these descriptions were exactly as he remembered from the ancient book he had read, the ‘Records of the Duke of Mu’…
The Duke of Mu had asked the Queen Mother for the elixir of immortality, and the Queen Mother had presented him with the Tian Shan Snow Lotus.
The elixir of immortality that the Duke of Mu received was this ‘Purple Heart Snow Lotus’!
Now that it was in his hands.
Han Li was satisfied and sped up his descent!
…
“Look at him, I told you not to bring this guy!”
“Just making trouble for us!”
Seeing that Han Li had safely landed.
Hao Aiguo was extremely dissatisfied, deliberately making his voice loud.
In his eyes, this was Han Li actively giving him the perfect excuse to kick him out of the archaeological team.
He frantically slapped the ‘troublemaker’ label on Han Li!
“No, how is he making trouble?!”
Fatty Wang frowned on the side, and retorted unceremoniously:
“I’m saying, Hao, Han Little Brother was the last one to come down. No one else was on the climbing rope…”
“Even if something happened, he was the one who was reckless!”
“What are you worrying about?!”
Hao Aiguo’s face changed, he was about to retort…
“Ahhhhh!”
A series of screams, echoing unexpectedly in this abyssal valley!
It made everyone’s faces change, their hairs stand on end, and goosebumps erupt all over their bodies!
They saw Ye Yixin…
Trembling, pointed towards the front.
Not far away, there was a corpse leaning against the cliff.
The dehydrated, black skin, illuminated by the flashlight, looked eerily terrifying.
Beneath the cold snowy mountains.
Due to the lack of bacteria, a corpse would not decompose for a long time after death.
Instead, it would remain frozen.
Although it was a corpse—
Shirley Yang, upon seeing it, quickly walked forward, her face brimming with excitement.
She picked up the Browning pistol in the corpse’s hand, a look of joy appeared on her pretty face, and she turned back to say:
This is someone from my father’s expedition team!
“Great!”
Having a discovery so soon after arriving, Professor Chen also happily revealed a smile.
This was undoubtedly good news…
This meant that everyone wouldn’t be coming here in vain.
Even Hao Aiguo put aside his earlier complaints and began searching around, hoping to find more new discoveries.
The group continued forward in the direction of the corpse.
Soon, everyone heard a faint whooshing sound, but they couldn’t find the source of the sound.
Until the sound grew closer…
A slowly flowing underground river appeared quite suddenly before them!
The flashlights in everyone’s hands were all directed towards it—
The stream, amidst the pure white snow, was incredibly eye-catching!
Red blood!
A stream of flowing blood!
A river of blood!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
A blood river…
In the abyssal canyon of the Kunlun glacier, a place of wind and snow, there was actually a blood river flowing!
The three college students had never seen such a sight, and they all trembled with fear.
Their legs were weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
“This… this blood river… how come it seems like it’s coming out of the ground?”
“We… we… aren’t we… encountering the River of Forgetfulness in Hell?”
