Chapter 166 Vajra Garuda
As an important part of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Lijiang is of great value.

The importance of the Tea Horse Road is no less than that of the Silk Road.

The Silk Road promoted cultural exchanges between the East and the West, while the Ancient Tea-Horse Road maintained the stability of the southwestern frontier.

After the British occupied India, they planned to use Indian tea to open up the vast market of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in an attempt to control this area with materials. The ancient tea-horse road on the Shenzhou side interfered with the British plan, and at the same time consolidated Shenzhou’s understanding of Qinghai-Tibet Snow. domain control.

It not only hit the British conspiracy to control the snowy plateau with materials.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is also an important channel for the spread and exchange of ancient civilizations among Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet.

This is a place with a lot of vendors.

They all make a living as merchants, and they walk back and forth on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road every year.

Ruan Yongbao paid a lot of money to invite a caravan as a guide.

The leader of the caravan is called King Zhang Jian. He has walked 20 times on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. He is an experienced middle-aged man.

After arriving at the camp, I saw the group of people in Yue Zhenshan, all of whom were armed with guns, and immediately regretted accepting this business. From this point of view, they are not easy to mess with customers. If there is a slight difference, they may lose their heads .

"Don't worry, we are all officers with legal guns."

"As long as you do things beautifully, you are safe. Of course, we are also reasonable. As long as you can transport our things in place, money is not a problem."

"How much money you earned last year, I'll give you twice, okay?"

"This is too much, handsome!"

"My King Zhang Jian dare not be greedy, as long as you can give me something to eat, I promise to do my best to transport your things in place."

It's not shabby to earn money.

Ruan Yongbao gave too much, and King Zhang Jian smiled, and then began to direct his men to deliver goods to the mules. The original team of more than 200 people, after including caravan members, the number directly increased to about [-]. Putting on the tent, the whole team set off again.

This time it was much slower! !
From Lijiang to Mangkang is the most difficult part of the road. There are countless mountains and valleys in this area, and the overall trend is rising. The altitude is rising all the way. Several soldiers led by Ruan Yongbao died of altitude sickness.

Before reaching the place, he died, which directly cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

The twenty or so soldiers of the Futu Battalion in the Yuezhen Mountain Belt were very good, and their strong physiques quickly adapted to the plateau climate.

The climate here is very cold, the air is thin, and the climate is unpredictable. Just now they walked through a grand canyon, and it rained heavily.

As a result, I had just turned over a ridge, and the other side was clear and clear, separated by a ridge, like two worlds.

Standing on the steep rock path, with the roaring river below and the towering snow peak above, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the canyon, the white water mist flowing haze, shooting colorful halos hanging on the mountain The top is like a holy place in the clouds.

"Although the Ancient Tea Horse Road is dangerous and difficult to walk, it has many beautiful scenery."

"It's also pretty good."

"Master, this is your first time here!"

In front of Yue Zhenshan, there was a caravan guy. After hearing Yue Zhenshan's words, he couldn't help but interjected.

"Well, yes!"

"Hey, it's normal for you to come here for the first time. When I went to do business with Uncle Zhang for the first time, I was similar to you."

"After walking a lot, I started to get used to it, and I didn't think it was very beautiful."

"Now I prefer our side in Lijiang, at least God doesn't bother people like this side."

"There has always been a proverb circulating on this road. It's two or three when the mountains are covered with snow. Four or five or six is ​​when you're drenched and crying. Seven or eight or nine is a little easier to walk. Ten Dongla is like a dog crawling. You just came here in July. When encountering a particularly difficult time to walk."

"Besides, the road is not smooth. At the mountain pass ahead, three of our fellows have already died."

Hearing this, Yue Zhenshan couldn't help being curious, three people died in just one mountain pass, and it was still a caravan, so how many people will die in this place in one year?
What is the reason for this? Could it be that there are experience points waiting for me?

"Is there something like a ghost in front of you?"

"Oh, I don't know if it's a monster or not."

"According to the local Tibetans, on the top of this mountain lives a divine bird called Vajra Garuda."

"Local Tibetans hold sky burials, and this bird will actively descend and peck the brains of the deceased. Local residents believe that Vajra Garuda can lead human souls back to the Western Paradise of Paradise."

"And this kind of bird is very strange. It must use a head (brain) every day, whether it is a human or an animal."

"Thus, my three brothers were all caught to death by this Vajra Garuda. Its claws are so sharp and strong that they can directly pierce the skull of the prey and then eat the brain of the prey."

Such a raptor, and its weird behavior, is indeed suspicious.

When Yue Zhenshan followed his buddy to the mountain pass, he crossed the natural moat with great difficulty under strong winds of magnitude 6 and 7, but Yue Zhenshan didn't see the Vajra Garuda that the buddy was talking about.

I thought the guy was kidding me, but sometimes when you thought the danger was gone, it came suddenly.

This kind of thing, everyone calls it an accident!

On the top of the snow-capped mountain, the mountainside is surrounded by colorful mist.

All of a sudden, three huge figures flew out from the seven-colored haze. They were covered in pale yellow feathers with a metallic texture. They spread their wings, and they swooped down from the top of the mountain for about two meters. Over a distance of more than 1000 meters.

"Everyone lie down and hide under the belly of the horse."

"Get off the horse!"

"Boom—"

Three huge Vajra Garuda flew over the heads of the crowd, instantly setting off a gust of wind.

Yue Zhenshan could see clearly that a pack horse carrying supplies was attacked, and the pack horse's forehead was torn open by Vajra Garuda's sharp claws, as easily as cutting tofu, and then its brain was taken away.

As Vajra Garuda's favorite human brain, they naturally did not let it go.

The claws of the other two Vajra Garudas were respectively inserted into the sky caps of the two people. They were caught by these two beasts and lifted into the sky, and quickly rose to a height of more than 200 meters.

"Hit hard with a gun!!"

"Bang bang bang-"

"."

After a burst of random shooting, except for the soldiers under Yue Zhenshan, the other soldiers shot indiscriminately.

After the prey flew to a height of more than 400 meters, they were completely lucky.

When everyone else put away their guns, Yue Zhenshan suddenly took out a special 98K rifle and raised the 98K in his hand. He didn't need to aim at it. He had the magic weapon "Book of Truth" to simulate the environment and was responsible for calculating the trajectory. factors, he can instantly eliminate the influence of altitude, humidity, wind direction, and wind speed on the ballistic trajectory.

"Bang bang bang-"
