Wu Yutian remembered the story before he transmigrated; in the TV series, Chu Yi was probably going to die in the mouth of the Snow Wolf King.
However, now that I'm here, I hope this tragedy won't repeat itself.
Wu Yutian didn't want to bring up the harm that the Snow Wolf King had caused to Chu Yi's family anymore.
I vaguely remember that halfway through the journey, the first-year student in this world also mentioned that his younger sister died in an attack by snow wolves.
Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he appears cheerful and happy, but in reality, he plans to avenge his younger sister himself.
Even if he can't get revenge, he must fight with all his might to kill the Snow Wolf King, a wolf he can't possibly kill.
The Snow Wolf King in this world is probably much stronger than the one in the TV series.
The scout wolf that had previously scouted the area had already exceeded the size and attack power of the Snow Wolf King in the TV series.
However, the guy in this world is far more powerful than the original trio of Hu Bayi.
Their strength was the same as Xiao Ge's; even if one of them wasn't enough to deal with the Snow Wolf King, the two of them working together would definitely be more than enough.
But we can't let him sacrifice himself in vain since he was born in the first year of junior high.
"Tonight we'll take turns keeping watch. Those with guns should keep them with them, ready to retaliate at any time." Wu Yutian looked at everyone; they were all well-fed and had gained more courage.
"I'll be on the first shift on the first day of the semester, then we'll switch shifts every two hours. I'll be on the second shift, August 1st will be on the third, and Fatty will be on the fourth." Wu Yutian did a quick calculation and realized that that would already be eight hours, which was more than enough.
"If there are no objections, everyone should take the time to rest. Don't put out the campfire, and you can leave a light in each tent."
The supplies were fairly plentiful this time. In addition to the batteries in the car that could power the lights, there were also kerosene lamps that could be used inside the tents.
"Alright, then thank you all for your hard work." Uncle Ming waved his hand and led his group into the innermost tent.
This night wasn't as thrilling as the last one, and we all got through it safely.
After Wu Yutian finished his second night watch, he went back to sleep. When he woke up, Xiao Ge was already standing at the cave entrance.
Wang Pangzi, who was on duty in the fourth shift, probably didn't get enough time to stand guard. Seeing that the young man had already gotten up early, Wang Pangzi took a nap by the campfire with his rifle in his arms.
Shirley Yang didn't drink too much alcohol last night, and she got up early this morning to do some simple stretching and exercise.
"Good morning," Wu Yutian greeted with a smile.
"Good morning." Shirley Yang smiled back.
The two didn't exchange many words. Soon, Chu Yi came out again with his gun on his back.
"The Snow Wolf didn't come. I don't know why." Chu Yi seemed a little disappointed. He thought he would have to fight the Snow Wolf King to the death last night, but unexpectedly, nothing happened.
"In that case, we can split into one group and go check out the Beast-Slaying Platform," Chu Yi said, pointing to a spot a few hundred meters ahead.
"Yan Shou Tai? Then I'll go with you." Wu Yutian naturally agreed without hesitation, as he remembered it was an important place, and there might be a check-in reward.
"I'm here too, let's see what the legendary Beast-Slaying Platform looks like." Hu Yi caught up, panting.
Shirley Yang didn't say anything, but walked up to the group.
Chapter 97: Check in at the Beast Taming Platform, reward: Dragon Taming Chronicles
Fatty Wang also woke up. Upon hearing about the mission, he quickly stood up, wanting to join in the fun.
The young man didn't say anything, but silently followed.
After crossing another stretch of snow, a thin layer of mist suddenly appeared on the ground ahead.
When we rushed over yesterday afternoon, it was probably because of this thin layer of fog that our vision was obscured, so no one noticed that anything was different here.
The thin mist clung to the ground, not thick enough to just make out the stones.
From a distance, it even gives the illusion of being in a fairyland.
"Once we cross this bridge, we'll reach the Beast-Slaying Platform," Chu Yi said, pointing to a thick log at his feet.
The fog was thick at the foot of the tree, and the lone tree was barely visible; the surrounding environment was completely obscured.
However, Wu Yutian had exceptional eyesight and knew that there were abysses on both sides of the log, and if a person fell in, there would be no way to survive.
It turns out that the Yanshoutai was actually a solitary peak that stood tall, like a rock pillar hundreds of meters high breaking through the soil from the bottom of the rift valley, all the way up to a place where the height was roughly the same as the flat land outside the Zanggugou.
The closest point is only about twenty meters away.
A thousand-year-old tree, several meters in diameter, spans between the two, forming a bridge.
With the snow accumulated on the ice peaks year-round, the ancient tree was firmly anchored in the middle.
Hu Bayi, not understanding why, followed Chu Yi onto the huge log bridge.
Wu Yutian wanted to cross the bridge, but fearing that the single log wouldn't be able to support the weight of three adult men, he simply waited by the bridge and took out his Dragon-Snake Sword just in case.
Even if the bridge collapses, people can still be saved.
"Hey, why aren't you guys coming up?" Hu Bayi turned around and asked from the bridge when he saw no one was following.
"Go on, I'm afraid this bridge can't support more people." Wu Yutian waved his hand.
"Hey, Brother Tian, you're not scared, are you? Hmm? That's it?" Fatty Wang squeezed through, and as soon as he stepped on it, he felt the snow and ice fall.
"Fatty, I think you shouldn't go over there. You weigh more than both of us combined." Hu Bayi was terrified. Was Fatty Wang planning to die with him in the same month and year?!
"Alright, Fatty is a bit heavier, so I'll guard the bridge for you guys!"
As they were talking, Chu Yi had already reached the other side of the bridge.
Hu Bayi followed closely behind.
Then the young man and Shirley Yang also quickly passed by with agility.
"Fatty, we're leaving our escape route to you. This is a very important task," Wu Yutian instructed.
"Don't worry, I'm the most suitable for important tasks!" Fatty Wang promised, patting his chest.
The thick fog surrounding the bridge was blown away by a mountain breeze, revealing the bottomless abyss beneath the log bridge.
A bottomless abyss appeared before them.
"Legend has it that every time the moon is full, the wild beasts in the mountains will jump off this beast-jumping platform and use their deaths to appease the mountain god's anger."
The first day of the lunar month stopped at the truncated cone-shaped peak, which was only about ten meters in diameter:
"But the elders who told me this story had never seen it with their own eyes. It was just a story passed down orally from their previous generation of elders."
Wu Yutian walked to the side and looked down.
The nearby canyon was extremely deep; even with Wu Yutian's keen eyesight, he could barely see the bottom.
It could be said that the bottom of this canyon is even lower in elevation than the flat land where they started.
It is a fissure in the plateau that extends deep into the earth.
Similar terrain has been found in tropical regions, such as the East African Rift Valley.
However, such a landscape on a glacier is truly rare.
"You know what, the scenery here is quite nice." Hu Yi glanced at the canyon and looked around. "It has a rather ethereal feel to it. No wonder it was used for burial."
Wu Yutian certainly didn't believe in the idea of animals voluntarily sacrificing themselves for their parents.
It's more likely that this is also a strategic location used by wolves for hunting.
It's like a yak forced into a mountain valley.
If the yaks manage to escape and reach the mountain pass, they will eventually starve to death in the large cave there, becoming prey for the wolves.
This beast-repelling platform may have been another place where the yaks escaped.
Once on this beast-repelling platform, the wolf kings might not chase after you, but instead wait on the other side of the bridge for their prey to lose its strength.
When a hunted beast reaches this place, it either stays there and starves to death, or it returns the way it came and is eaten by the snow wolves.
Either jump off the cliff.
Like a cat trapped on the roof of a skyscraper, if it can't find food for a long time, it will jump down without hesitation.
Even in buildings hundreds of meters high, some animals can still miraculously escape death.
Wu Yutian looked up and saw a strong wind blowing away the clouds and mist above the snow-capped mountains.
The rugged and steep mountainside is revealed, and looking at it again, it is extremely magnificent, giving rise to a feeling of insignificance.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have completed your Beast-Puppet Platform check-in!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Dragon-Suppressing Nail and the "Dragon Taming Manual"]
Two soft sounds in his mind interrupted Wu Yutian's enjoyment of the scenery.
Before he could even look at his newly acquired reward, Shirley Yang spoke again:
"There doesn't seem to be anything of value here."
"A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. I think we should go back as soon as possible. If we are really blocked here by the snow wolves, we will become the beasts that are buried alive."
"This environment is quite nice. How about we start a fire here and have a picnic?" Hu Bayi deliberately wanted to provoke the fat man opposite him. He also had two large pieces of yak meat that he hadn't eaten yet in his backpack.
"I'm afraid there are still some issues," Wu Yutian said.
“There are many loose rocks on both sides of this valley. If even a small piece falls down while we are resting, it could be fatal. It’s too dangerous.” Wu Yutian’s consideration was very thorough, which made everyone fall silent.
“There’s a passage down here.” Chu Yi first circled a peculiar rock and examined it for a long time.
Finally, he took out a talisman from his pocket and compared it with the other one, then found a recessed mechanism.
