Chapter 1323 Rock
Chapter 1323 Rock
The avalanche came so suddenly that Tang Tang led everyone down the slope at breakneck speed, almost without stopping. However, the snow that was rolling down rapidly with the force of the collapse was still roaring closer and closer.
Completely different from the faint cracking sound that seemed like a hallucination at the beginning, the sound of an avalanche was now extremely loud.
It was a deep, muffled roar from the depths of the earth, a rumbling vibration as if a snow giant were turning over at the foot of the mountain, bringing a kind of oppressive force from nature that instilled fear in the heart.
Tang Tang subconsciously glanced back, then, with a rare look of despair on her face, she muttered a curse, "Damn it!"
Large chunks of snow, frozen year-round, were constantly breaking off and falling.
That wasn't the soft snow that people normally imagine; it was a rolling, sweeping white wave.
It seemed to want to devour everything.
The seemingly pure and pristine snow waves actually contain various ice blocks, pebbles, and pieces of wood... As they fall, they continuously carry in more and more things, causing their volume to expand wildly and their speed to increase faster and faster.
At this moment, no warning was needed; everyone was instinctively sliding down at breakneck speed, wishing they could go even faster!
One second everything is peaceful, the next you're caught in a life-or-death struggle, adrenaline replaces blood and starts burning like crazy.
At this point, Tang Tang didn't care about the competition anymore; she was screaming in her mind, "Tongbao!!!! Quickly unlock Skiing Mastery for me—!!"
The system avatar, Tang Guo, grabbed Tang Tang's hand and held it tightly. Her cute little face was filled with coldness as she quickly answered Tang Tang in her mind, "It's already open! Don't be afraid, Tangtang, I will protect you!"
At this moment, the system felt countless times that the physical body was indeed a burden, and that it should exist forever as a life consciousness in Tang Tang's body.
Only when they are inseparable can they be truly safe.
However, Tang Tang gripped the system's hand instead. In this tense and critical moment, Tang Tang couldn't control her strength and gripped the system's hand so tightly that it would definitely hurt.
The intimate handshake also made the system feel a little reluctant to part.
"Tangtang, hurry!"
Several mercenaries were initially close to Tang Tang, worried that she might have an accident due to the rapid descent, but seeing that Tang Tang seemed to be getting more and more skilled at gliding, they moved back a little so as not to affect her performance.
Just then, Wang Feiyan suddenly groaned, with a hint of pain, "Damn, something rolled down."
Jiang Ran suddenly looked behind him, his pupils contracted, and he grabbed Wang Feiyan, pulling him straight up. Then he said, "No, you can't slide down anymore."
Human weight is too light; the enormous waves behind us are immeasurable, and we cannot escape the downward speed.
Just as people on land cannot escape a tornado, they cannot outrun an avalanche at this moment.
Almost instinctively, Tang Tang lowered her body and pressed her skis firmly into the snow. The wind was like a cold knife, scraping through every crevic of her exposed skin. However, at this moment, Tang Tang's mind was only focused on what lay ahead.
Run! Run faster!
Tang Tang's heart clenched; at this critical moment of life and death, nothing could affect her, whether or not she had any external cheats.
Suddenly, Tang Tang's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Ahead! Let's go behind that rock."
There was a horizontal rock not far away. It wasn't particularly large, but at this moment, it was the best shelter they could find.
Slightly faster than Tang Tang, Jiang Ran suddenly grabbed Tang Tang's arm tightly, just as Tang Tang had grabbed the system's hand. At this moment, Jiang Ran was also unable to control his strength.
"Tangtang, lie down properly!"
He gripped Tang Tang's arm tightly, then forcefully threw her behind the rocks.
Tang Tang fell heavily into the snowdrift, and the system she was dragging also rolled down, then grabbed the slipping Tang Tang.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ran and Wang Feiyan also fell in, at which point they had no time to spare for anything else, whether or not they were rivals in love.
Large chunks of snow were already hitting them, and Tang Tang felt a weight on her body as Song Mu and Zhou Huai fell in.
The two of them simply pressed themselves against Tang Tang, with Song Mu's broad and steady body like a thick wall covering her.
Amidst Tang Tang's rapid and tense breathing, she heard Song Mu's deep voice, "Lower your head... Tangtang, don't be afraid."
I'm not afraid!
Tang Tang wanted to yell, but Song Mu and Zhou Huai pressed down on her, clearly trying to shield her from the rushing snow!
Meanwhile, the mercenaries at the rear also fell one after another into the rocks.
Tang Tang shouted frantically, "Skiboards! Skiboards! Put them in front!"
The few mercenaries who were still able to move around in the back immediately understood Tang Tang's meaning, and promptly pulled off the skis of the others and threw them to the front.
Tang Tang grabbed it, "Hurry up and insert it! Insert it deeper! If you can't insert it, just block your head."
Several mercenaries approached from behind. By this time, huge chunks of snow had already slid past, and Tang Tang could even hear the sound of something hitting something.
"Tangtang, don't be afraid."
In fact, everyone's heart was beating fast, and no one could remain calm in the face of life and death. However, Tang Tang heard the other men whispering words of comfort to her.
Wang Feiyan squeezed next to Tang Tang, shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Ran, and muttered to himself, "My Tang, don't be afraid. If you feel something hit you later, don't worry about who it is. Just grab someone and use them as a human shield, okay?"
Jiang Ran also said, "Yes, don't worry about anyone, just hide well, and don't move no matter what happens."
Tang Tang's heart was pounding. Listening to their parting words, which sounded like farewells, her eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help but snap at them, "What nonsense are you talking about... I said I'm fine, so I'm fine!"
She called out to the system directly, "System, if anything happens, remember..."
Before Tang Tang could finish speaking, the system had already responded in her mind.
Don't worry, Tangtang, I will protect you... and others too.
The system naturally wouldn't care about anyone except Tang Tang, but if someone died at this moment, wouldn't Tang Tang be sad?
After Tang Tang heard King say "Here it comes," she was suddenly pushed down by someone's hand, her head pressed against the upright skis, with other people pressing down on her from both sides. Even though the avalanche was incredibly deafening, Tang Tang had to admit that she was truly moved when the others pressed down on her, determined to shield her from the avalanche's torrent with their bodies and lives.
Of course, Tang Tang didn't have time to be moved the next second, because she felt the rolling snow.
