Chapter 96 Du Wei's Speculation
Du Wei was exhausted when the mountain road was halfway through, and the most unfortunate thing was that if this
mountain had to climb to the top, I am afraid that it would not be possible for a day or two.
Because here, flying, is the patent of the dragon family. Even if a great person like Aragon wants to climb the sacred mountain, he must rely on his own feet.
In addition to the bitter cold, Du Wei is also suffering a painful ordeal.
Sunburn!
This is a seemingly contradictory but real problem.
In his previous life, Du Wei often watched programs such as National Geographic magazine on the Discovery Channel, and saw that those who explored in the Arctic and Antarctic, in the cold ice and snow, would be sunburned, often felt incredible. But in reality, that's just the way it is!
The ice and snow are like a huge spotlight, gathering all the ultraviolet rays from the sun, and, geographically speaking, the atmosphere in the extreme north and south is thin, and the sun's harmful rays are more likely to shine in.
Du Wei felt that he was sunburned, and all the exposed skin on his face and hands seemed to have been steamed into a pink red, and it was hot and painful at the slightest touch. At night, the temperature drops, and when the cold wind blows, it is like a sharp pain like a knife cut!
Among the companions, the old magician and Hussein seem to have this situation, but the two are much stronger than Du Wei's endurance.
In addition to sunburn, there is pain in the eyes.
In the snow, even at night, the light is very strong, and the blue light reflected by the snow is the most powerful thing that hurts people's eyes. In Du Wei's previous life, those who ventured to the Antarctic Arctic would use snow mirrors to protect their eyes from ultraviolet rays and blue light in the snow, but there is no such equipment in this world. Du Wei could only wear the "sunglasses" left by Dardanelle, and it was better to talk than nothing.
In a group of companions. The calmest is Medusa, the snake's skin is probably different from that of humans, her skin is still pale and delicate, and her eyes are always closed, indifferent to everything in the periphery.
Finally, the next afternoon, after bypassing the winding road, everyone was halfway up the mountain. Here is the back of the mountain, the mountain blocks the sunlight overhead, Du Wei sits down to breathe, and then feels the fire ground.
"Rest for a while, we'd better walk at night." Du Wei gasped, his face was still molting, and he felt that even a light breeze on his face would make him scream in pain. I could only cover my face in private, revealing only my eyes.
The old magician also nodded, he cast a fire magic, built a fire: there was no firewood or firewood, and the flame generated purely by magic was very mana-consuming. But for heating, there is no other choice.
Du Wei approached the fire, opened his arms and continued the warmth of the flames to his heart's content, when all the warmth in his arms was complete. Turn your back and turn your back to the fire.
His whole body froze to the point of almost stiffness.
With his back to the flames, Du Wei sat on the edge of the mountain road, and there was a cliff in front of him... Moreover, the direction he is facing is exactly north!
North of Mount Kinabalu!
After roasting the fire for a while, Du Wei felt some spirit and looked into the distance. I couldn't help but ask again: "North of Mount Kinabalushan, what is there?"
"No one knows for sure." The old magician shook his head: "But according to legend, the sacred mountain is a barrier to guard the human world, and further north, there are some races abandoned by the gods!" It was some races that betrayed the gods and were banished from the Roland Continent. It is said that to the north, there is a world of sin, and that place is the same as the Roland Continent. It's a continent. Several races that were believed in demons in antiquity, after the defeat. Driven out of the human world, they went all the way north, through here, to another world.
"Another world." Hussein frowned: "What else can be ahead?" It's already cold enough to freeze people to death! If it weren't for a few of us, ordinary people would have been unable to live in such a place for a long time! Continue north? I can't imagine what it would be like to be cold further north! That kind of bad illusion, what race can survive in such a bad illusion? The
old magician smiled bitterly: "So, this is the punishment of the gods for them... I don't know, but that's what the legend says.
"I don't think so." Du Wei suddenly laughed softly. However, when the old magician and Hussein looked at Du Wei strangely, Du Wei closed his mouth and remained silent.
Not necessarily... Du Wei couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
Is it colder the further north you go?
In this world, of course, people in this era will think so.
But who is Dewey? Du Wei is from the world with developed scientific and technological civilization in the previous life!
The further north you go, the colder it gets! Literally it seems right.
But, given the location...
If you assume that this world, like Du Wei's previous life, is a planet similar to the earth.
Du Wei is almost certain of this. He has made some assumptions over the years, assuming that this Roland continent is on a planet similar to Earth. Even the sun, moon, and even the Big Dipper are the same as Earth! Du Wei even suspected that this was an Earth in another space!
Anyway, at least it's a planet! Well, according to the geographical location of the Roland continent: the north is cold, the south is hot.
What does this mean? Explain the location of the Roland continent, it should be in the northern hemisphere of this planet! The continent of the northern hemisphere, the closer the north is to the North Pole, so the colder! The closer the south is to the equator, the hotter it gets!
This is the simplest truth.
However, because the earth is round (of course, in this world, it should be said that "this planet is round"), then the position of the continent of Roland, the further north it goes, the closer to the "north pole" of this planet, the colder it will be! But what if you continue north?
If you continue north, you will reach the "North Pole", which is the coldest place! But what if you don't stop?
Beyond the North Pole, further on... Geographically, it is not really "north"! And in fact, crossing the North Pole and continuing to walk forward is actually equivalent to reaching the back of the planet, and then all the time... To the south! Yes, if you continue to walk, it is actually equivalent to "south"!!
In that case, instead of getting colder, it will get warmer!!
This is a truth that even middle school students would understand when Du Wei was in his previous life. Of course, in this world, I'm afraid no one understands.
So... Du Wei couldn't help but think in his heart: If you continue to walk beyond the sacred mountain, what kind of world will it be?
It definitely can't be getting colder! It should be getting warmer and warmer! There may even be a continent that exists! There is also a continent similar to the Roland Continent!! It's quite possible!
Well, the North ... No, it should be said "ahead", what the hell?
Just when Du Wei fell into a reverie, he couldn't help but sit on the edge of the cliff, his legs hanging there like this, looking into the distance...
North of Mount Kinabalu, there is still a vast ice field in front, but it is not as flat as in the south, and in the distance, there are faintly snowy mountains and ice rocks on the horizon... Starting from the foot of Mount Kinabalu, strangely shaped black rocks protruding from the ground faintly visible on the ground, like spikes protruding from the ground, sharp edges and corners...
As far as Du Wei could see, he suddenly faintly saw that at the foot of the mountain, on a certain spike-like black rock protruding from the surface on the ground in the north, there seemed to be something faintly hanging on the sharp corners, faintly turning silver-white...
After all, Du Wei is a magician, with keen sensing, even his eyesight and earpower are naturally far better than ordinary people, and as soon as his heart moved, he immediately removed the wrapped cloth strip from his face, and the cloth strip had been frozen hard, just rolled up, revealing a small hole in the middle. Du Wei just rolled up the cloth strip and leaned in to look into the distance...
According to the principle of the most basic small hole imaging, this is farther and more real than the naked eye, and when he saw clearly what was hanging on the sharp spike-like rock under the mountain, Du Wei couldn't help but jump in his heart!
That's a bone!
I don't know how many years have passed, the muscles on the corpse have been frozen crystallized, a dry and cold zombie like, hanging on the sharp protruding rock, but the corpse looks very strong, but the arms are extremely long, far better than ordinary humans, and the legs are very short, but the legs and feet are extremely thick, and the armor on the body is still hung with ice edges, the only strange thing is... The head is gone!
Du Wei looked further away, but found that there were several more protruding black rocks on the ground, and there were also some corpses, those corpses were even more strange, and even some corpses, under Du Wei's careful identification, he saw some abnormalities!
Those corpses, as if they were not human beings at all! Some corpses have too strange proportions of leg and foot length, while others have palms with only three fingers, as if... Some kind of animal?
The more Du Wei looked at it, the more he frowned, and finally after careful searching, he finally found one or two corpses that were similar to humans... But the bones looked too slender! Even the slender woman among the human beings may not be so thin and slender, but these slender bones are not only much smaller, but the remaining clothes and armor on the body are also extremely gorgeous, although under the ice crystals, they are shining and beautifully carved...
And the common denominator: all the bones are on the back! Moreover, without exception, there are no heads!
