Chapter 204: Mt. Kaji
The sky was already beginning to light up. Fike and Zhao Ruoxian had finally arrived at the foot of Mt. Kaji with Lie Luo’s army.
Fike raised his head and looked at Mt. Kaji, which seemed to be endless, in awe.
Just now, Fike and the others had passed through a plateau terrain and arrived at the foot of Mt. Kaji.
Both the temperature and the air pressure were rising rapidly.
As they were about to climb the mountain, Fike looked back.
He found that some of the weaker people were beginning to sweat, have fever, cough, and other symptoms.
It seemed that the journey over Mt. Kaji on foot would be very difficult.
Dali also noticed the weaker people at this time.
But he did not say anything. Instead, he continued to lead the large group of people up the mountain.
As Fike and Zhao Ruoxian were very strong, their physical condition naturally did not show any discomfort.
If it was not to cater to the speed of the large group, Fike and Zhao Ruoxian’s speed would be much faster now.
Looking at the winding snow mountain, Fike took a deep breath.
He wasn’t worried about himself, he was worried about the people behind him.
If someone suddenly fell down on the way, a few people would be fine, but if a large group of people fell down.
Fike couldn’t afford to save so many people.
At this time, most of them had already started to move halfway up the mountain.
The sun in the sky also started to rise slowly.
The sunlight shone on the ice surface of Mt. Kaji.
The snow and ice on the surface also started to melt gradually.
“Help… help me!”
Fike heard someone calling for help and looked behind him.
It turned out that someone slipped and fell down the mountain.
Fike and Zhao Ruoxian saw this scene and were about to turn back to rescue when Dali stopped them.
“Dali! Didn’t you see? Someone fell down!”
Zhao Ruoxian shouted loudly.
Dali silently looked at the furious Zhao Ruoxian. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.
“I know!”
“You know? Since you know, why didn’t you save him? Are you going to watch him die?”
Zhao Ruoxian was a little angry and her tone was a little extreme.
At this moment, Dali spoke again.
“Do you think I don’t want to save him? There will be a group of Dun Ta tribe’s pursuers behind us. They will definitely follow our tracks and come after us.”
“If I spend a lot of time on the road of escape, then this person will not be the only one who will die!”
“Now that a person has fallen, you can still save them. But what about after that? The road ahead will only be more dangerous. What about 10 or 100 people? How are you going to save them?”
Dali questioned loudly.
“Before we set off, I had already told them about the dangers of Mt. Kaji. Then, they must also bear the possible risks and consequences for their decisions!”
After Dali finished speaking, he immediately turned around and continued to walk up the mountain, saying coldly.
“Set off! Continue to move forward!”
Fike and Zhao Ruoxian looked at the scene in front of them with some surprise, as well as Dali’s words just now.
Fike even felt a little incredulous. He could not believe that this was the amiable and dedicated commander of the Lie Luo army just now.
Now he was more like a cold and heartless military man.
A man who would do anything to achieve his goal.
Before Fike could think further.
At this time, some people fell down the mountain.
The pedestrians behind him did not pay much attention. They just put their hands together and prayed silently.
Fike did not know if they were doing this to help the dead or to bless themselves.
Fike sighed helplessly and looked at Zhao Ruoxian beside him.
“Let’s go!”
Zhao ruoxian had no choice but to obey Fike’s words. She hunched her back and walked up the mountain sadly.
After a while, the pressure on Mt. Kaji became stronger and stronger.
The people’s breathing became more and more difficult.
Among these people, there were some who were dressed in thin clothes.
Their limbs were frozen stiff.
Their fingers and toes had begun to turn black, and they had lost the ability to speak.
The only thing they could do was to move forward slowly.
Some of these people walked and fell down.
And they never got up again.
At this point, Fike finally understood what Dali meant.
Some of them were destined not to reach the end of their journey to the south.
Even though Fike was very sad, he could not do anything about their deaths.
Dali looked at the snow mountain in front of him, then turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him.
“Everyone, hold on a little longer, we are about to climb over Mt. Kaji!”
But even so, the people behind him were completely frozen speechless.
Compared to staying in Blessed Longevity Camp and waiting for death to come.
Choosing to climb over Mt. Kaji seemed to have a chance of survival.
In the face of the choice of fate, people always did not want to give up some possible chances of survival.
Even if that chance was so slim.
Finally, Fike and Zhao Ruoxian stood on the peak of Mt. Kaji.
Looking down, a city full of vitality appeared in front of their eyes.
And that city was the town of Doma.
But between Doma and Mt. Kaji, a fierce long river had separated the two places.
It seemed that their last hurdle would be the long river at the foot of the mountain.
The main force was moving very slowly up the mountain, and it was already dusk.
The sun was gradually setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.
If they chose to spend an entire night on the top of the snow mountain, it was obviously not a wise decision.
But if they chose to go through the night.
Then the people who were lost on Mt. Kaji would lose their direction.
If they could not see the road ahead, the number of people who would die would increase.
However, compared to waiting for death, people would always choose the path with a slim chance of survival.
Even if the risk was extremely high, they would still give it a try.
Dali was precisely such a person. He opened his mouth and said to the crowd.
“It’s almost nighttime now. Rather than waiting for death on the peak of Mt. Kaji, we might as well go down the mountain in the dark. We still have a slim chance of survival!”
The people behind him could not say a word, but they could see it in their determined eyes.
They agreed with what Dali said.
When Fike saw this, he broke a thick branch on the top of a tree.
Flames licked the branch.
“How did you do it?”
Dali looked at Fike in surprise and asked.
