I practiced in the United States

When the altitude exceeds 4,000 meters, the surrounding environment is already very different from that at the bottom of the mountain.

This area can be said to be difficult to move without professional equipment.

Li Ang did not demand too much from the two helicopter pilots. After reaching an altitude of about 4,000 meters, he asked them to choose a convenient place to stop and then let them return.

As the air becomes thinner as they go higher, the helicopter actually faces great difficulties in taking off.

According to the regulations of their company, this behavior is definitely inappropriate. Unfortunately, Li Ang has the ability to pay money and directly gave three times the tip of their company's fine.

Li Ang carried his skis and had not walked for long when he met another mountaineering team.

There are not many people who dare to challenge this kind of peak, but there are actually quite a few. After all, this is not Mount Everest, and the risk factor is incomparable.

But it is extremely rare for someone like Li Ang to go there alone.

This is mainly because climbing a peak is a high-risk, time-consuming and special sport.

This means that in order to deal with some unpredictable weather or unexpected situations, many emergency items need to be prepared. It is not realistic to want to carry these equipment alone.

Secondly, it is inevitable to encounter emergencies when you are on the mountain for such a long time. If there are teammates around, they can help at critical moments. If you are alone, no one knows when you will die.

This team of mountaineering enthusiasts is also very enthusiastic. Seeing that Li Ang is alone, they also walked towards him and asked him if he was separated from his teammates.

In fact, the more niche sports are, the more united people in the circle are. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not be in trouble. While helping others, they are also helping themselves.

"Thank you for your concern, but I did come here alone. I want to challenge myself."

Li Ang rarely made up an extra reason to make his behavior sound more reasonable.

"I admire your courage to challenge, but it also needs to be based on safety. Climbing alone is too risky."

"And I think the equipment you brought is too little. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to walk here safely."

The fully armed middle-aged man in the lead said earnestly.

A woman behind him, who was wearing thick mountaineering equipment but still couldn't hide her good figure, also echoed:

"That's right, you can actually join us, and we can help each other."

Although she couldn't see Li Ang's face clearly, the feeling Li Ang gave her made her feel that he must be a handsome guy, not to mention that he had the courage to challenge Mont Blanc alone, which gave him another buff.

But even so, Li Ang still shook his head and refused, "My route may be different from yours, and I will move faster. Thank you."

If they just came here to play, Li Ang wouldn't mind joining them, but he still had a mission today.

Looking at Li Ang's back, the middle-aged man in the lead shook his head helplessly, thinking that the young man was still too young. Perhaps he had not experienced any setbacks. When he really encountered trouble, he would learn his lesson. I just don't know if he would be alive to learn the lesson at that time.

The woman with a good figure originally thought that Li Ang's saying that he was moving fast was just an excuse.

After all, they are a very mature mountaineering team. Not to mention Mont Blanc, which is 4,800 meters above sea level, they have climbed nearly half of the top ten peaks in the world, and they have plans to challenge Mount Everest this year. In terms of speed, she has never met anyone faster than them.

But soon, she found that Li Ang's speed was not ordinary. In theory, thick snow would bring huge resistance to people, and walking on it would consume a lot of physical strength. If they walked in a team, the people behind could step on the footprints of the people in front, which was the most energy-saving way.

But unexpectedly, Li Ang walked alone in front, and his speed was no different from walking on concrete. After a few minutes, only one figure could be seen.

At the same time, when they wanted to follow Li Ang's footsteps, they found that his pace was unusually large. They took two steps and might not catch up with one step of this person.

"Maybe we really met a master. No wonder he dared to challenge alone."

A team member behind him sighed.

The physical strength of walking alone is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

In fact, it is true. For Li Ang, this level of exercise is not much different from taking a walk. Even in places where conditions permit, he trots forward.

Soon, he came to an area with an altitude of 4,400 meters. At this time, there are still 400 meters to the top of the peak. In this area, the complexity of the terrain has greatly increased.

According to intelligence, the [Psychic Crystal] is within this altitude range, but it is not on the main road that climbers often take, but on the cliffs behind the main road.

Looking at this road that is not for people to walk on, Li Ang is also a little curious. How did these people find the clues of this place in the first place? It can only be said that there are really a lot of curious people.

After Li Ang fixed the safety rope, he began to climb towards the other side with an ice axe.

In other places, it would be fine to pursue excitement and do some unprotected rock climbing, but this is a snowy mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Even with a protective rope, it would be very uncomfortable if it fell off. Climbing with bare hands is not a challenge, but a brain problem.

Even if Li Ang's body does not die from falling, it will be a waste of time. There is really no need to take this risk.

From the back of Li Ang, he was like a monkey. The slippery ice surface and the cliff with a slope of 80 degrees seemed like flat ground to him.

After taking a step, Li Ang finally felt a weak interference field.

He was excited, which meant that the news was true and this trip was not in vain.

As Li Ang got closer and closer to the back of the main road, the intensity of the interference became stronger and stronger. Until he hovered on a cliff with a slope of nearly 90 degrees, he finally felt that the interference intensity had reached its peak. One step forward, the interference intensity was in a state of decreasing.

The only advantage this time is that in such a remote place, there should be no mutant creatures to oppose him.

But at this time, Li Ang wished he could face mutant creatures.

Looking at the thick ice layer in front of him and the rock layer behind the ice layer, Li Ang finally understood why no one wanted to take the [Psychic Crystal] in this place. This thing is really hard to get.

But now that he is here, he can only work hard.

After Li Ang fixed his body, he started to pick up the ice pick and chisel at the ice layer.

Although he was hanging in the air at this time and it was difficult to borrow strength, with his superb force-generating skills, Li Ang still hit it very deep every time.

This ice layer, which has been frozen for hundreds and thousands of years, is extremely solid and almost as hard as stone.

In other words, the person wielding the ice pick is Li Ang. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably not be able to break through the ice layer here even if he chiseled for a whole day.

Although Li Ang was quick and aggressive, he was not a mindless digger. If he made too much noise, cracked the ice, or even triggered an avalanche, that would be fun.

Therefore, each of his seemingly random landing points was actually an accurate perception of the internal structure of the ice. While ensuring that he could dig deeper, he also had to ensure the stability of the ice.

At the same time, the team of climbers just now finally reached the end of Li Ang's footsteps, which was also the location where he fixed the safety rope.

"His footprints changed direction when they reached here. It seems that it is really different from our destination, but can we really get there in that direction?"

The female team member with a good figure asked with some doubts.

At this time, she was convinced that Li Ang was a hidden mountaineering god.

The middle-aged man in the lead also shook his head. No matter what strategy they had made before they appeared, including the experience given by other people who had climbed the mountain, he had never heard of this place.

"Is there any different scenery over there?"

The female teammate's mind was inexplicably inspired to want to go over and take a look.

But after further observing the route, she quickly gave up the idea. This was not a road she could walk through, and even if she could barely get through, it would probably take a lot of time. She couldn't let this delay the progress of the whole team.

"Let's go, keep moving forward, the peak is right in front of us."

On the other side, Li Ang had already dug out a platform for him to stand on.

Due to the limitations of the tools he carried, it was unrealistic to just dig out a small hole and hit the [Psychic Crystal] directly. At most, he could only dig out a "U-shaped" pit and move forward step by step.

The outermost layer, because of its largest area, was actually the most time-consuming, but with Li Ang's almost non-stop chiseling, it took less than half an hour to complete it.

To be honest, with this amount and this time, it would be difficult even to dig the soil with a hoe, not to mention that Li Ang was still hanging in the air and digging the ice.

With a place to stand, the power came from his feet, and Li Ang's subsequent digging speed did not decrease due to the consumption of physical strength, but became faster.

Another hour later, Li Ang had pushed more than one meter deep into the ice.

The good news is that there were no accidents, and he just had to keep chiseling.

The bad news is that the ice layer was almost at the bottom, but there was still no trace of the [Psychic Crystal]. This thing was most likely buried in the rocks behind the ice layer.

Moreover, it was still a question whether the ice pick in Li Ang's hand could move the rock layer inside.

But now that he had chiseled here, it was useless to think so much. If it didn't work, he could only see if the small chisel in his backpack could move the ground, or go back to get equipment and run again.

This time, it was mainly because the information obtained was too good, and the equipment was inconvenient to carry due to environmental reasons, so Li Ang did not bring much equipment.

Soon, Li Ang chiseled through all the ice layers, revealing the rocks inside.

After a little analysis, Li Ang quickly determined that the composition of the rock inside was limestone.

This kind of rock is carbonate rock with calcite as the main component. As for the hardness, it is mainly related to the degree of weathering of the rock.

Li Ang tried to hit it with an ice pick a few times. The sound was relatively crisp, and there was a certain rebound and vibration feeling.

Obviously, the rocks here belong to the unweathered type, that is, the hardest limestone, which is second only to extremely hard rocks such as granite and basalt.

According to the rock hardness classification, it belongs to the second-tier harder rock.

Fortunately, it is not the first tier, so although his tools are difficult to dig, they can still be chiseled. If it is the first tier hardness, he can only go back home and change to professional equipment.

The hard ice pick has become blunt before it has been hit a few times, but this is exactly what Li Ang wants.

After he continued to hit it hard a few times, the tip of the originally sharp ice pick was directly smashed into a plane, so that his tool became a combination of a hammer and a chisel.

Soon, Li Ang put himself in the role of a miner, picked up the chisel and started to work hard.

Fortunately, the depth of the [Psychic Crystal] this time was not too deep. If it was as thick as the ice layer just now, Li Ang might have scrapped the chisel and couldn't get it out.

After spending twice as much time as before, Li Ang finally discovered a [Psychic Crystal] here based on his own precise perception.

In fact, judging from this point, it can be seen that the [Psychic Crystal] appeared very early, otherwise it would not be buried in the rocks of such a peak.

Li Ang stretched out his hand and absorbed this [Psychic Crystal].

[Break Limit Point] +28

(Body recovery ability increased by 20%)

Looking at the data displayed on the panel, Li Ang showed a satisfied smile. The energy of this [Psychic Crystal] is extremely full, and the attached special attributes are also extremely practical. It rarely provides him with a 20% bonus. Although it does not increase the speed of cultivation, the recovery ability is exactly what he lacks.

And there was no unexpected situation this time, which is considered to be a relatively considerate one.

After Li Ang absorbed the crystal, he just took a step outside, and suddenly his expression froze, cursing in his heart, he shouldn't say that there is no unexpected situation, what you say will come.

He quickly took off the ski equipment on his back, put it on, and quickly came to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down without hesitation.

I don’t know if there was any other unexpected situation, or because he took away the [Psychic Crystal], some node power inside was unbalanced. In short, he sensed that the mountain was experiencing some kind of violent vibration. In short, an avalanche occurred. (End of this chapter)
