() A few days later, the snowstorm on Mount Everest finally stopped. At dawn that day, Mu Yan set out with the Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff in the Himalayas. When they arrived at the South Col, Mu Yan tried to persuade them to stay, but they were unwilling to do so.

After leaving, Mu Yan had no choice but to take them with him to climb Mount Everest.

The Yetis and Tibetan Mastiffs of the Himalayas have lived in the snowy mountains for a long time, and their ability to cross mountains and ridges is even better than that of the mountaineers. Mu Yan is not only concerned about their safety.

As a result, an unprecedented mountaineering team consisting of a human biologist, a Himalayan snowman, and a wild Tibetan mastiff climbed up the southeast ridge of Mount Everest and began to head towards the summit.

Although the South Col is less than 1,000 meters above sea level from the summit of Mount Everest, every meter is difficult. Sometimes in order to climb one meter higher, Mu Yan and the others have to work very hard to succeed. You can imagine how difficult and dangerous the journey is.

"No wonder thousands of Everest climbers dream of climbing the southeast ridge. It turns out that the last few hundred meters are so difficult. If my physical fitness had not been much better than before, I would have followed in their footsteps and could only climb

Looking at the peak from the South Col, I just cried out."

Looking at the towering icy cliffs that can be seen everywhere on Mount Everest, Mu Yan was filled with emotion.

"Come on, soon, you will become the first Himalayan Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff in the world to reach the summit of Mount Everest respectively, and I will also become the first human being in the world to reach the summit of Mount Everest with a pet.

the scientist."

Looking at the Himalayan Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff who were standing beside him with some trepidation, Mu Yan felt so proud.

Perhaps infected by Mu Yan's pride, the Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff in the Himalayas also swept away the fear in their hearts, and looked up to the sky with pride and let out deafening howls.

With high morale, Mu Yan led them to continue climbing.

An hour later, Mu Yan and the others finally arrived at the foot of the Hillary Step. The Hillary Step is a huge boulder about 8 meters high. It has a smooth surface and is almost upright, with cliffs of thousands of meters on both sides. This is the only way to the top.

The road is also the last dangerous barrier

New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary and Nepalese guide Tenzing Norgay almost failed here when they first climbed Mount Everest in 1953. In order to commemorate their feat of overcoming difficulties and successfully reaching the summit, this piece of

The boulder was named the Hillary Step.

It is impossible for Himalayan Yetis and Tibetan Mastiffs to cross the Hillary Step. Fortunately, Mu Yan asked them for some ropes when he was drinking and eating meat in the Sherpa village in case of emergency needs for climbing. At this time, he put them on his

In the backpack, it comes in handy.

Mu Yan took out the rope, tied one part to the Tibetan Mastiff, and the other to his own waist. After everything was ready, he immediately ordered the Himalayan Snowman and the Tibetan Mastiff to stay at the bottom of the steps while he climbed up the steps with two daggers.

The sharp dagger penetrated deeply into the rock wall under Mu Yan's huge force. In this way, Mu Yan climbed up the Hillary Step with one stab step at a time. Then, Mu Yan pulled up the Tibetan Mastiff at the other end of the rope.

The Himalayan Snowman was several times heavier than the Tibetan Mastiff, so pulling it up was a bit more troublesome. Mu Yan climbed down the steps, tied a rope around it, climbed back up, and struggled to pull it up.

There is also a dangerous road above the Hillary Step. This road is very narrow, with upright rock walls on one side and exposed cliffs on the other. It is somewhat similar to the rafters on the Huashan Sky Plank Road.

Mu Yan carefully protected the Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff in the Himalayas. It took them more than ten minutes to cross the short journey safely. The mountain road then became gentler, and the summit of Mount Everest was in sight.

Soon after, Mu Yan finally took the last step and stood on the top of the world, the summit of Mount Everest with an altitude of 8844.43 meters. He became the first human being in the world to successfully reach the summit with two daggers. This was unprecedented.

great feat.

Standing on the top of the world and looking far into the distance, the Himalayas are worshiped by thousands of peaks, the blue sky is clear, and the sea of ​​clouds is majestic. The real achievement will be when you reach the top and see the amazing pride of the mountains.

At this moment, with this situation, Mu Yan could not help but roar loudly. The Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff, who had never stood so high in the Himalayas, recovered from their panic and roared in unison. For a moment, Qomolangma

The roar from the top of the peak shook the sky.

"I'm coming back..."

After roaring happily, Mu Yan calmed down. He looked at the boundless plateau on the other side of the sea of ​​clouds and murmured.

After a short stay at the peak, Mu Yan took the Himalayan Yeti and the Tibetan Mastiff down the mountain along the northern slope of the Celestial Empire, completing a great north-south crossing and returning to the motherland.

As early as 1988, a joint mountaineering team from China, Nepal, and Japan successfully crossed Mount Everest from the north and south sides. It was precisely because of the successful precedent that Mu Yan dared to be so bold.

The way down the north slope is more difficult than the way up the south slope. However, for Mu Yan, who has just completed the feat of climbing to the top, these difficulties are just a fruit dessert after the meal, just the icing on the cake.

The descent went smoothly. When night fell, Mu Yan took the Himalayan Yeti and the Tibetan Mastiff to the North Col, known as the gate of Mount Everest, at an altitude of 7,028 meters.

The North Col is a saddle-like valley between Mount Everest and Zhangzi Peak in the north. Further down is the equally difficult and dangerous Rongbuk Glacier on the north slope, which is as famous as the Khonbu Glacier on the southern slope.

The Himalayan Yeti and the wild Tibetan Mastiff are of extraordinary size. Mu Yan cannot take them down the mountain and return to the human world unscrupulously. He can only keep them here temporarily. The reason why Mu Yan takes them back to the north slope regardless of the trouble is actually

He had a small selfish intention. He felt that if they continued to stay on the southern slope, then they would belong to Nepal, but if they came to the northern slope, they would become Chinese.

The legendary Snowman of the Himalayas, which countless people have been searching for for countless years, is in heaven. This is a very exciting and proud thing.

Near the North Col, there were rugged cliffs, and Mu Yan decided to arrange temporary shelter for them in this area. Dragging the tents left by the climbers at the North Col camp, Mu Yan led the Himalayan Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff through the thick snow.

Heading towards the cliffs in the distance.

After more than half an hour of arduous search, Mu Yan finally found a leeward cave in the rugged cliff that was difficult for outsiders to notice. With a little digging, it turned out to be a good shelter.

Two daggers and a Gurkha scimitar were spread out, and Mu Yan began to dig holes.

The snowman of the Himalayas squatted aside and looked at it curiously for a long time. Then he suddenly picked up the dagger on the ground and tapped it into the rock wall.

Strong learning ability, which is a symbol of wisdom.

Mu Yan smiled knowingly and immediately went over to teach the Himalayan snowman how to dig with a dagger.

The Tibetan Mastiff on the side looked amused and jumped forward to try it out, but its paws were really not suitable for such difficult skills. After a while, it was scorned by Mu Yan and the Himalayan Snowman at a 45° angle.

I squatted to one side and watched the wind.

At dawn the next day, after unremitting efforts, the cave was finally dug successfully. Mu Yan set up the tent and immediately called for the Himalayan Yeti and the Tibetan Mastiff to squeeze in.

Climbing mountains and digging holes are hard work that consumes a lot of physical strength. Although Mu Yan is strong and strong, he is still a little tired after a day and night. After settling the Himalayan Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff, he immediately lay down and fell asleep.

A few hours later, Mu Yan was awakened by the rumble of an ice avalanche.

Opening his eyes, looking at the sleet in the strong wind outside the cave, Mu Yan frowned slightly. Today's snowstorm seemed to be more violent than the previous few days. The glaciers in the Rongbuk Glacier began to collapse one after another, and the journey down the mountain seemed to be interrupted.

Delayed.

The snowstorm lasted all day and night, and the ice and avalanches also lasted all day and night, but there was still no sign of stopping. Mu Yan, who had not eaten for several days, finally felt hungry. Not only him, but also the Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff in the Himalayas were also hungry.

Mu Yan took out the yak meat given by the enthusiastic Sherpas from his backpack, cut off a small piece for himself, and divided the rest between the Yeti and Tibetan Mastiffs in the Himalayas.

They had obviously never eaten roasted yak meat. After taking a bite, they tasted the taste and started to devour it. After a while, the large pieces of yak meat disappeared. Then, they all looked at Mu Yan. Seeing them

Staring straight at the small piece of yak meat in his hand, Mu Yan immediately stuffed the whole piece into his mouth, so that they would be completely put to death.

An hour later, the snowstorm outside the cave continued, but Mu Yan was hungry again, and even more hungry. Obviously, the small piece of yak meat just now didn't help.

"It's freezing and snowy outside, and there's a blizzard. It's not easy to find something to eat."

Touching his empty stomach, Mu Yan was very upset. He hadn't felt hungry in the past few days. He thought that drinking the magical water would make him like the legendary gods. But now it seems that this is not the case. He is just eating.

The interval has just become longer.

"No, I have to find something to eat."

After another half hour, Mu Yan was so hungry that he had to get up and said.

Seeing this, the Himalayan Yeti and Tibetan Mastiff also stood up and insisted on going with Mu Yan.

"Then let's go together."

Mu Yan knew they were stubborn, so he simply took them into the snowstorm.

Intense rainstorms and snowstorms swept across Mount Everest. The Rongbuk Glacier was severely displaced, and countless glaciers collapsed, triggering a series of ice and avalanches.

The Rongbuk Glacier had changed greatly. Mu Yan took a look at it from a distance and prayed in his heart that the ice and avalanche would not cause too much flood damage to the people downstream. He also prayed that the road down the mountain would not be destroyed.

It is extremely difficult to find food in the ice and snow. At an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, it is impossible to have a fruit-based vegetarian diet. Mu Yan can only place his hope on those wild animals. However, in such a harsh environment nowadays, the wild animals have not escaped below the snow line.

Just hiding in a remote corner and unable to get out.

Faced with this situation, Mu Yan had no choice but to rely on the innate hunting talents of the Yetis and Tibetan Mastiffs in the Himalayas to find those hidden wild animals.

Fortunately, after searching for more than two hours, Mu Yan, under the guidance of the Tibetan Mastiff, finally found a Himalayan wolf in a rock wall that had no time to go down the mountain to escape the snowstorm.

When Mu Yan pulled the Himalayan wolf out of the rock wall, he found that it had been frozen to death and its body was hard. This saved a lot of trouble and let the Himalayan snowman carry the prey while Mu Yan took them with him.

Return to the cave.

They found food, but there was no firewood, so they had to eat it raw.

Seeing the Himalayan Yeti and the Tibetan Mastiff tearing apart the bloody wolf meat, Mu Yan felt sick and hesitated to take action.

However, people are like rice and steel. Mu Yan, who persisted for a long time, could not resist the hunger in his belly. He picked up a dagger and cut off a piece of bloody wolf meat and put it into his mouth.

A fishy smell hit his nostrils, making Mu Yan almost spit out the meat in his mouth.

The fishy smell was so unpleasant that Mu Yan had to pinch his nose and close his eyes with a grimace, forcing himself to chew up the wolf meat in his mouth and swallow it into his stomach.

After eating the first piece, the second piece followed. When Mu Yan swallowed the seventeenth piece of wolf meat, he was finally not hungry anymore.

Mu Yan's stomach had been empty for several days, but his food intake became extremely alarming. The total weight of these seventeen pieces of wolf meat was no less than ten kilograms.
