Chapter 379

It was a world of ice and snow.

Originally, Ning Chen thought.

This mountain was just a small peak.

But now it seemed, it was incredibly vast and open.

Just like a flat-topped peak.

And at the core position.

There was also this not-so-large major fault line.

But the top was not rugged, and there were many protruding rocks.

Which could provide footholds.

Ning Chen did not need to expend much strength.

He did not even need the Black Blade and nails.

To climb over it.

Ning Chen felt the ground tremble and looked in that direction.

There was a huge noise.

He did not know what it was.

Ning Chen did not hesitate.

He walked straight over.

Just after Ning Chen passed several stone blocks.

Something suddenly caught his attention.

It was actually a skeleton!

The moment he saw this skeleton.

Everyone's scalp went numb!

Could it be that Brother Shiguang was not the first to reach the mountain top?

Looking at the shape of the skeleton before him, it was somewhat unique.

Ning Chen stepped forward to check.

He discovered it was a female skeleton.

Moreover, all the finger bones at the fingertips were broken.

No.

Not broken!

Inside the live stream.

Someone suddenly said.

【Her bones are not quite right!】

As soon as these words were spoken.

It immediately drew everyone's attention.

They all looked and made a shocking discovery!

【Her body seems to be in a forward-leaning posture, with both hands stretched out as if trying to grab something. How could this posture be maintained after death? There is absolutely no support!】

【We were all misled by Brother Shiguang! Don't look at how Brother Shiguang has no reaction now, but this is an ice and snow world! And it is on a high-altitude peak! One could say the current temperature is at least minus twenty degrees or lower!】

【So that's it. This person must have been frozen stiff, both bones and flesh, while alive, and then collapsed here in this posture.】

Another bullet comment drew everyone's attention again.

【Sigh, saying this means Brother Shiguang was not the first to reach the peak!】

As soon as these words were spoken.

Immediately, countless people sighed with emotion.

While they lamented Brother Shiguang's arduous journey and the fact that he was not the first to climb the mountain, they also praised this woman for successfully reaching the Mangshan peak.

【No! That's wrong! She did not succeed in climbing up! Look at her posture, it seems like she was climbing forward, trying to grab something. This clearly indicates she did not reach the core position at the summit, filled with unwillingness and despair, hope and expectation.】

【She made her final effort, but still did not see the true scenery, and finally died here, kneeling on the eve of dawn.】

These words made everyone immediately widen their eyes to look.

It seemed.

Like that was the case.

Otherwise, the corpse would not appear in this state and posture.

Just at this moment.

Ning Chen looked at the woman's finger bones and observed them carefully.

He discovered they were not broken.

If it were due to breaking, the hand bones would definitely show uneven and damaged conditions.

But these finger bones before him were much smoother than a break.

Someone inside the live stream also spotted this detail.

Then he speculated and said in the live stream.

【Look quickly at her finger bones! Her finger bones were not broken due to falls or similar injuries! The wounds are somewhat rounded; this is clearly from friction! Her finger bones were rubbed, constantly rubbed, until they were worn smooth!】

【What!】

As soon as this statement was made.

It immediately scared everyone greatly.

The bones of her fingers were ground away.

What a terrifying thing this is!

Someone continued speaking based on this person's speculation.

【When climbing this mountain peak, Brother Shiguang climbed for a long time, but in the latter half, there were no nails left by the climbing seniors; Brother Shiguang also climbed up step by step relying on that knife and those nails.】

【But this woman came up; I boldly speculate that she used her fingers, hooking into the stone cracks, climbing up step by step!】

【She climbed up! That is why her finger bones were ground flat! Fierce pain fought against hope; she successfully climbed up! But in the end, she still could not see that scenery!】

256. (1/5) A Person Worthy of Admiration

【She, from the foot of the mountain, hooked the rock cracks with her hands, bled, ground her bones flat, and only then arrived here.】

【But she died.】

【Even after paying such effort and pain, she still died; her injuries were too severe, lacking oxygen amidst the ice and snow; before dying, she still wanted to see the scenery above, so she presented a posture of lying prone on the ground, reaching forward as if trying to grasp something.】

These words.

Instantly silenced everyone in the live broadcast room.

If this speculation is true.

Then this woman.

Truly.

Too moving.

For a moment.

Admiration, respect, emotion, empathy, regret, and various other emotions.

Mixed together.

All stifled within their hearts.

Millions of people!

At this moment.

Were actually speechless.

Just because.

A woman.

Inside the Geological Research Bureau.

Zhu Lao was in tears.

Although the person before his eyes was reduced to only bones.
