This fall is really like a thunderbolt, head-first down. First, the buzzing sound disappeared, then it was a dizzying spin, with rumbling sounds in my ears, completely unable to control the direction, and I didn't know where I would roll to. If there's a cliff below? Then wouldn't I be asking for death? At this moment, I don't even have time to regret, my heart is racing like I'm skydiving.

  I don't know how long it took, but I finally came to a stop. The surroundings were quiet and all around me was snow, probably because I had been rolled into a snowman. With a push of my arms, the layer of snow covering me disappeared. I lifted my head to look around, and everything was dark and pressing in on me. Just as I was about to reach for the flashlight in my bag, my whole body swayed, and before I could even process what was happening, I started rolling again. This time I wasn't prepared, and my entire body was upside down, with my head pointing down and my butt pointing up, just like a dung beetle rolling its dung ball. It went on for over a hundred meters before I finally came to another stop.

  This time I didn't move, first using my hands to feel around me, the ground was very flat. Only after confirming that I had finally reached the bottom did I dare to touch the flashlight. Those blue bugs hadn't caught up, and now the wind and snow were even stronger, howling like a chorus of ghosts wailing.

  This kind of weather is common in the Kunlun Mountains. The day I just arrived, I couldn't sleep well, but now I'm basically numb to it. Those howling winds are automatically blocked out by my ears, but the snow can't be blocked out - not only does it get into your neck, but also into your ears, and it's both icy and itchy. When it melts into water droplets that slide into your ear canal, the feeling is unbearable.

  I shook my head, turned on a small flashlight, and everything around me was shrouded in a hazy snowstorm. I cast the light down the slope where I had rolled down, and found that about 100 meters up the slope, there stood something dark and indistinct. Due to the heavy snow and wind, the light was dimmed, and I couldn't see clearly, but thinking back, I should have been blocked by that thing at first, and as a result, I rolled down when I moved.

  What is that thing? Although it can't be seen clearly what it is, its dark and shiny characteristics stand out in the snowy ground. What is that thing?

  I tidied up the equipment bag beside me, placed it neatly at the foot of the slope, and started crawling towards that black thing. It wasn't until I crawled inside that I realized it was a cylindrical stone.

  Perhaps it shouldn't be called a cylinder, this thing protrudes from the ground for over a meter, with a dark and rough stone texture, having four right angles. Perhaps it was once a square pillar, but who knows how long it has been standing there, now its corners have all been worn smooth, and if you don't look closely, you can't see its original appearance.

  I'm filled with wonder, this thing is clearly man-made, and judging by its appearance, it must be from a very distant past. Who put it here? What's it for?

  I walked around the stone pillar and saw that its surface may have had carvings at one time, but most of them had been worn away. Now I can only see incomplete and blurry marks, which are really hard to identify.

  Although it can't be identified, in my opinion, this thing has something to do with that Heavenly Tomb Coffin.

  First, although the age of this thing is unknown, judging from its shape and degree of wear, it must be at least before the Qin and Han dynasties. Second, at that time, our ancestors had neither advanced cold-proof technology nor weapons, who would leave buildings in this vast wilderness?

  So, could this be a trace left when the Heavenly Tomb was built? I thought to myself and suddenly became excited, thinking that maybe what's below is the Heavenly Tomb. Just as I was thinking about whether or not to dig it out, I felt a sudden gust of cool air on the back of my neck. It wasn't the chill of wind and snow blowing in, but rather a kind of eerie, chilly feeling. Suddenly, I remembered Fatso talking about ghostly lanterns.

  But I didn't even light a lamp, besides, although I was thinking that there might be an ancient tomb below, it's not like something would come to blow on my neck, right? I shuddered, my heart racing several times faster, and suddenly turned around, with countless thoughts flashing through my mind - a green-faced ghost? A thousand-year-old rice ball coming out for a stroll? But when I turned around, there was nothing behind me.

  I was stunned on the spot, what just happened was absolutely not my illusion, something really blew a breath of cool air behind my neck, but that thing is gone now.

  I swallowed hard, just about to shine the light a bit further away to see if there was anything around, when my flashlight suddenly made a crackling sound, and then the filament inside flashed rapidly several times before going out.

  If it had been extinguished at any other time, I might not have been so frightened, but in this eerie situation, I was almost startled to jump up, with a blackness in front of me, and the cold wind kept blowing over, I always felt that there seemed to be an eye staring at me coldly in the darkness.

  I didn't even dare to breathe, my hands were shaking a bit, and I hurriedly ran towards the place where the equipment pack was placed in the image. As a result, after running for just a few steps, my foot tripped over something hard, stumbled, and rolled down.

  On this snowy path, except for that stone pillar, there isn't even a small rock, what just tripped me?

  Is it a ghost tripping me up?

  I stopped and quickly felt for my equipment pack. After that chaotic roll, I had lost direction, but I hadn't rolled far, so the pack should be within two or three meters of me.

  I frantically felt around me.

  Nothing.

  What's going on? Did I miscalculate?

  I reached out again, and this time I touched something cold. At first, I thought it was a equipment bag, but I immediately reacted, no, it wasn't. The thing was hard and cold, my heart skipped a beat, my heart soared to the sky and couldn't come down, I trembled as I felt the shape of that thing with my hand.

  It's a human foot.

  A foot wearing shoes.

  Just now there was clearly nothing here, so what is this thing I'm touching now?

  I almost immediately withdrew my hand in fright, at this time, I suddenly heard a familiar sound next to my ear. At first, I didn't react, what was this sound and why did I have a familiar feeling? But the next second, I remembered, it was a gunshot.

  Just as I was about to hide, a faint light halo rose in front of my eyes. It was the flashlight that had just been extinguished. Unexpectedly, it wasn't broken, but the light was weak and pitiful. The hand holding the flashlight was like rotting flesh, covered with exposed muscle fibers.

  I was shocked, looked up and saw a face that was almost as bloody as the corpse, with only a pair of green eyes visible, while the rest of the place was all rotten flesh.

  At the same time, a black hole-like muzzle was aimed at my forehead, I stiffened my body and couldn't react in any way. The cold object on my temple brought out an uncontrollable fear.

  Just now, I abandoned him, this German who has become unrecognizable. How will he treat me?

  I feel like I can't even swallow my own saliva, the scene is frozen in place, my eyeballs are stiff, my muscles are stiff, even my thoughts are stiff. At this moment, I'm actually unable to react at all.

  I'm afraid anyone with a gun pointed at their forehead can't react either way.

  I stood there staring at the German, who didn't immediately shoot me, and I still couldn't think of a way to get out of this situation.

  Want me to roll on the ground? I'm afraid I won't be able to roll faster than his gunfire.

  Quickly open the muzzle? I'm afraid as soon as I raise my hand, the other side will kill me.

  At this moment, I'm not facing a rice dumpling or some strange creature, but a living person. What's most terrifying in this world isn't ghosts or gods, but the human heart. And now, I have no idea what he'll do next; perhaps before I can even think about it, a bullet will already be lodged in my brain. I can almost imagine the picture of brains and blood intertwined.

  Then I fell into the snow and was dug up many years later, becoming a specimen of zongzi.

  Just as I was about to break out in a cold sweat, the German in front of me swayed a few times, seemingly unable to stand steady, and his gun also shook. I took advantage of this opportunity, quickly raised my hand and knocked his gun muzzle aside, taking advantage of the momentum, I immediately rushed up and counterattacked.

  The German might have been injured and was extremely weak, but he didn't react at all. In an instant, I pinned him to the ground. My heart leapt with joy as I prepared to give him a good beating, planning to knock him out first. But just then, I felt a sudden pain in the back of my head - this guy had actually hit me with his rifle butt! My heart skipped a beat as I hastily retreated from his body. Luckily he used his rifle butt; if he'd fired directly at me, wouldn't my brains have already been splattered everywhere?

  I immediately went over and snatched the gun from the German's hand, his hands were completely powerless, and after a brief tug-of-war he let go. With the gun in my hand, my heart finally returned to its normal place. Only then did I take a closer look at the German, his green eyes were dull and lifeless, his mouth slightly open, taking more air in than out. That bug didn't know what it was, but it had such strong attacking power, biting a living person half to death. Moreover, these bugs weren't afraid of the number two treasure blood on my body, even the centipede retreated in fear, but these guys came after me without any hesitation.

  I don't know if they're too powerful or if my blood has lost its effect.

  I sat there panting for a while, looking at the German still lying on the ground. I couldn't help but think of reaching out to slap his face, not knowing if he was dead or not. But when I saw his pale face covered in blood, I immediately moved my hand to his chest and said, "Hey, are you dead?"

  The German's eyeballs turned a few times with difficulty, and then stopped on me. I felt something was wrong, this guy, afraid he couldn't hold on anymore, having lived in a daze for over 60 years, it wasn't easy at all.

  At this time, the wind and snow grew stronger. I sighed, still unable to let him go, so I tied him up with a rope and carried him on my back, dragging the black bag through the snowy ground. Every step was extremely difficult. My other free hand had to hold the flashlight, as the previous one had run out of battery. Now I could only use this large wolf eye light, which has a range of over 200 meters, illuminating the road ahead brightly. Even with my goggles on, I felt a bit dizzy from the glare.

  I walked forward for a while, surrounded by endless white snowfields, unable to find any place to take shelter. I felt like I couldn't hold on anymore, carrying one person and pulling a large bag full of heavy equipment. Every step I took seemed like the last one, and I didn't know how much longer I could keep going.

  What should I do?

  Just then, a very weak voice sounded in my ear: "Put me down." It was the German. I didn't bother to respond to him and said without turning back: "Don't make trouble, we need to find a place to spend the night."

  The German was very stubborn, kept coming back and forth saying those four words, I was annoyed by his words, turned my head and shouted: "Shut up!" As soon as the words were spoken, I was stunned, because I saw that the flesh on the German's face was falling off.
