The nine were divided into two groups.

Asano Chika is in a group of four, Qin Wenyu is in a group of five.

After traveling slowly through the snow for a while, they faced their first hurdle.

Because the Sayama Snow Mountain is not a year-round snow mountain, but a seasonal snow mountain, the snow covering the rocks of the Sayama Snow Mountain is not solid.

The road came here just now is relatively gentle, so there is not much difficulty.

But the next section of the road, almost climbed up the whole way.

The snow that is stepped on tightly is relatively safe, but more snow is just spread on the mountain. The snow in this state is the most dangerous, and the climber will never know the stability of the foot.

As well as protrusions, cracks, and even dangerous peaks on the surface covered by ice and snow.

At this time, someone who is familiar with snow is very much needed. Fortunately, this time someone is from Hokkaido.

Chiba Narubayashi took over the responsibility of leading the way. Although he is not a professional climber, it is relatively simple for him to judge the state of the snow.

"Everyone, be careful where you step," Chiba Narubayashi said, probing a position in front of him with a long pole, "If you hear a slight cracking sound, don't panic, don't run aside immediately, it will only make the crash come faster."

Takahashi Maoyue was so tired that she could only gasp for breath. She looked up at the peak of Xi Feng. The sky was covered with dark clouds. The peak of this snowy peak was hazy, and a lot of snow dust had been blown up by the wind.

Occasionally, places where there is not much snow are exposed on the ground, and a layer of crystal clear ice is condensed. This mountain looks like a fragile crystal.

Because the altitude is not high, the air here is not thin, but it is extremely cold. The air inhaled in the nasal cavity is like a tiny needle, which is painful.

As soon as Tamaki noticed Takahashi Uzuki's slower and slower movements, he slowed down and followed her.

Takahashi Uyuki glanced at him apologetically, her physical strength problem has always been her shortcoming, her body has a congenital disease, and she can't do higher-intensity physical exercise at all.

This Xi Feng, they have already climbed to a third of the position, looking up, it seems that the peak is within reach.

For that brief moment, Uzuki Takahashi felt that she could do it.

However, her body is honest. When she looked back at the camp at the top of the suspension bridge, her vision suddenly became blurred, and a twitch-like pain surged in the position of her temples. Her eyes, brain, chest, throat... In this ice and snow The environment not only did not feel cold, but was filled with an overwhelming scorching heat.

She shook her body and almost fell like this.

Fortunately, as soon as Tamaki was behind the pad, he firmly supported Takahashi Uzuki's shoulder.

Am I overestimating myself...

Takahashi Uzuki had this thought.

"What's wrong?" Chiba Narubayashi in front noticed the situation behind, "Miss Takahashi, are you feeling unwell?"

Takahashi Uzuki wanted to say sorry, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a sense of loss of strength from all over her body, making her unable to even say a word.

"Miss Uzuki and I take a break," Tamaki said suddenly, "We will catch up as soon as possible."

"No, even if you want to rest, you can't stop here," Chiba Narubayashi said firmly, "This slope is not stable, Ms. Takahashi."

He looked at Takahashi Uyuki earnestly: "Hold on, at least go to a safe platform to rest."

"It can be there."

Yayoi Amemiya said suddenly.

She pointed to a rock five or six meters away.

A thick layer of ice and snow covered the rock. On the surface, the rock looked very flat, and above it was a gentle slope, and there would be no sudden collapse.

Chiba Narubayashi walked over to have a look, poked it with a long pole, then turned to Takahashi Uzuki and said, "It's fine here, Miss Takahashi, you can wait for us here."

"The road ahead will be more and more difficult to walk. It requires good physical strength to climb up. With Miss Takahashi's current situation, once her feet are unstable, it may cause a chain reaction and bring danger to others."

Chiba Narubayashi put it bluntly, in this case, there is really no need to be polite.

Takahashi Uzuki nodded. She knew her physical condition very well. She couldn't climb that duck-billed snow peak.

But what she didn't expect was that Tamaki chose to stay.

Qin Wenyu and others didn't have any comments. After Chiba Narubayashi gave a few instructions on the precautions in the snow, he set off again.

Asano Chika's team of four had already opened a distance of several tens of meters in front of them, and when they hit the road again, there were only three people left.

Takahashi Uzuki, who was sitting on the snow platform, stared at Tamakiichi, and her expression gradually became puzzled.

Yu Muyi looked as usual, just watching the departure of Qin Wenyu and the three.

"Yamu... haven't we met before?"

Takahashi Uzuki finally asked this sentence.

As soon as Yumu retracted his gaze, he landed on her again: "Is there any?"

Takahashi Maoyue couldn't make up her mind, her eyes were a little dazed: "You feel very familiar to me, like... where have we met before, not in a sacrificial banquet, but in reality..."

Yumu shook his head and looked at Feng Xue in the distance: "Miss, you are the most honorable jewel of the Takahashi chaebol. I am just an orphan adopted by the Inagawa Society. If it wasn't for the sacrificial banquet, our lives would not have intersected."

"Then you..." Takahashi Uyuki hesitated.

"I have special care for you, right?" Tamaki asked with a smile.

Takahashi Uzuki nodded embarrassedly.

Although she thought it was strange, she could really feel that Tamaki took care of her in a different way.

"Because, I want to pursue you," Tamaki kept saying, "I left the Inagawa Society and started my own business, and your family is a famous big chaebol in Japan. If you can associate with you, it will be beneficial to my career. It was a huge help.”

Takahashi Uzuki looked at him, but Tamaki didn't avoid her eyes.

After a while, Takahashi Uzuki smiled.

She didn't say anything, and didn't ask any more.

She is not the Eldest Young Lady who knows nothing. For the reason Tamaki just said, she believes that most of the former suitors think that way.

She was not surprised at all.

But...that's not right.

Someone who thinks like that, doesn't do it the way he does.

Since he chose to hide it, he didn't need to ask.

But... I will definitely remember that familiar feeling...

Takahashi Uzuki raised his head and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her face.

When I opened my eyes again, the already gloomy sky was already covered with heavy snow!

The wind in the mountains whipped up snowflakes and passed her by.

Xi Feng, no... the entire Hajaya Mountain seems to be wrapped and swallowed by a strange hazy feeling.

And Tamaki's complexion changed even more, and he grabbed Takahashi Uzuki's hand, pulled her up from the snow, and hid her behind the rock wall.

"How……"

Before her voice could come out completely, Yu Muyi covered her mouth.

Then, she looked in another direction under the direction of Yu Muyi's gaze...

Takahashi Uzuki slowly opened his eyes wide, his pupils filled with horror.

right there...

On the road Qin Wenyu and the others left just now, a woman more than five meters tall was climbing up strangely!
