Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 115 Still Has a Killer Move

After another three hours of arduous trekking, Lu Wei led everyone to the summit.

The Helan Mountains stretch for over 200 kilometers from south to north and are about 30 kilometers wide. If you want to traverse the entire mountain range, the program definitely can't finish in just a few days. Moreover, there are wolves and leopards in some areas, which is very dangerous. The route that Lu Wei found is actually the same route that the previous hiking group took. They used the foot of the Helan Mountains as their starting point, and in theory, they could have made it out in 12 hours. However, the tour guide was too unreliable and took them back into the mountains.

Lu Wei felt that the route was actually more suitable for travelers, so he made some adjustments to it, adding a section that led from Helan Pass into the meadow before climbing the main peak. The meadow after descending the mountain could be used for camping, and tomorrow, following Xiao Lu, they could reach the South Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple in Mengcheng, which is known as the largest temple in Alashan. After arriving there, they could not only visit the historical sites but also meet up with the convoy.

It is often said that cities in Northwest China are desolate. When Northwest China is mentioned, many people think of lines of poetry such as "A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the desert, the setting sun hangs round over the long river".

When we arrived at the summit, the world suddenly changed. The path we had come from was a bit desolate, but the road ahead was scenic. Green meadows and yellow wheat ears were dotted with black argali sheep, and the azure sky made the scenery indescribably comfortable.

The mountaintop is over 3500 meters above sea level. At this point, the changes in the cloud cover have a significant impact on the mountaintop. Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and the sun was so strong that people wanted to take off their clothes, and the temperature felt incredibly hot.

Unexpectedly, after a dark cloud came over, it immediately started to rain. If the cloud stayed for a long time, the rain would turn into hail. This made the hiking team feel hot and cold all at once, experiencing both extremes of heat and cold!

The joy of reaching the summit was fleeting, but the unpredictable weather made Lu Wei and his teammates realize the ever-changing nature of the world.

Of course, hiking trips don't involve returning the same way, otherwise it would become a mountain climbing activity. After the rain, you can descend from either side of the mountain. The path down the west side is a gravel road with no safety measures whatsoever. You can imagine that at such a height, if you slip, you could easily tumble down the mountain.

This mountain is over 3000 meters high; if you rolled down it, you'd probably lose all your body parts. Plus, the mountain path was extremely slippery after the rain.

Even a few steps can lead to a fatal accident if someone slips and falls, let alone such a high mountain.

The east side is entirely meadow and very steep, but there are quite a few large trees. Although the path is extremely slippery, there are still ways to get around it.

Holding a climbing rope, Lu Wei said to the six hiking team members and two cameramen in front of him, "Next, we will use the climbing rope to help us go down the mountain. The ground is a bit slippery now, so we will tie the climbing rope to the rope and rely on the rope to keep going down the mountain. After we have gone halfway, the ground should be dry. I will demonstrate for you later."

And so, led by Lu Wei, the seven people plus two staff members descended the mountain one by one. Each time, Lu Wei would go down the mountain first, then choose a relatively thick tree, tie a knot in the rope, and have the people above hold one end of the rope while he tied the other end of the rope to the tree.

Actually, given this terrain, if you concentrate, there shouldn't be any problem descending the mountain with trekking poles. The last team that did the outdoor training chose to descend via the gravel path on the west side of the summit.

Imagine what it would be like for a team of more than 50 people to freely descend the mountain; one wrong step and they could become human wheels of fire.

However, everyone in the team made it down the mountain safely, although this way of descending is quite hard on the knees and can cause discomfort in the ankles.

This seemingly dangerous downhill route is actually not very dangerous, which is why the danger level of hiking in Helan Mountain is only 2 stars.

However, netizens found it particularly exciting, as the camera pinned to Lu Wei's chest pointed directly down the mountain, making it appear as if everyone watching the live stream was on a large slope.

"Dawei, I'm sending you an airplane. If you die in an accident today, please use my tips to buy you a girlfriend. Don't worry!"

"How can you talk like that? Speak like a human being. People like you would never survive to the second episode in a TV series."

The netizens quickly silenced and condemned this brainless commenter.

"Dawei, keep it up! You usually seem unreliable, but you've actually been quite manly today, managing to do something so straightforward!"

"666, go Feifei! Look, there's a rocket in the sky!"

After receiving a series of tips, Lu Wei found that his income had increased by several thousand yuan.

It took nearly 3 hours to go up the mountain. In theory, half that time should have been enough to go down, but for the safety of the team members, it was better to play it safe.

The descent took nearly two and a half hours. Afterwards, everyone was exhausted and lay down on the meadow. Although the descent wasn't long, it required constant concentration to maintain balance, leaving everyone feeling mentally and physically drained.

We started climbing the mountain around 1 p.m. and didn't reach the top until almost 3 p.m. We stayed on the mountain for less than an hour before the team had to come down because it gets dark very quickly in the mountains, and it becomes inconvenient to set up tents and cook when it gets dark.

So after coming down the mountain, everyone rushed to set up tents and start a fire to cook.

"After setting up the tents, everyone took turns changing into the down jackets and pants from their backpacks. The temperature difference between day and night in Helan Mountain is large, and it can drop below zero at night. Let's keep more portable rations like compressed biscuits. There's not much meat and vegetables, so let's use them all. We'll be able to eat a whole roasted lamb from Alashan for lunch tomorrow."

After hearing from Lu Wei that there would be a whole roasted lamb for lunch tomorrow, it seemed that all they needed to do was prepare breakfast. After everyone changed their clothes, they happily sat together and enjoyed the picnic.

Everyone is in a great mood now. They thought they would encounter many difficulties here, but it turns out to be just a simple trek through the primeval forest.

Led by Dawei and Li Qian, the six of them sang and danced during dinner, making it undoubtedly a pleasant day for them.

On this day, they can forget the busyness of work and the troubles of life, and immerse themselves in nature.

Although Lu Wei declined the invitation to sing, he still laughed along with everyone.

"Guys, this kind of event is getting boring. Don't blame me for pulling out all the stops!" Lu Wei looked at the number of viewers in the live stream, which hadn't met his expectations. In the end, the number of viewers had just exceeded 10, far from what he had anticipated.
