Chapter 731: Is Your Life More Important or Is Money More Important

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Not only were the Kunlun Mountains mountains the origin of many myths, it was also a heaven for explorers. It cut through Beijiang and Nancang. Qingzhou was in the east. It was 2500 kilometers long, and the average elevation was 5500 to 6000 meters. It was 130 to 200 kilometers wide. Its total surface area was over 500 thousand square kilometers.

Many small countries were not even as large as this mountain. It was very magnificent.

At first, explorers preferred exploring Lop Nur. Later, everyone realized that the Kunlun Mountains was the most dangerous place to mankind. Some even tried to cross Death Valley.

Lu Shu sat in the train and looked up information on Death Valley. He wanted to see whether anyone had successfully crossed the valley. It was fine even if it was before the dawn of the magically rich era.

But the descriptions online were quite sketchy. Some said that they had successfully crossed Death Valley, but were not willing to provide information on their starting point, their exit point, and the car that they had used. One variety program had attempted to cross Death Valley as well, but they only strolled around the area before carrying the camera on their shoulder in fear and running away. It was a good start, but a poor ending to the show.

Scientists explained that there was lightning and an underground river. But the explorers claimed that there was a frozen dragon in the Kunlun Mountains. The entrance to that place was beneath Death Valley.

Some also said that in historical records, the Kunlun Mountains were the first place where demons appeared to eat humans.

The train was headed to Sacheng, the provincial capital of Nancang. Lu Shu had wanted to go to Qingzhou, which was closer to Death Valley. But more explorers gathered in Sacheng. Those who wanted to climb the mountains would first get used to the high altitude there. There were people who even built inns there. Most explorers would conduct their training there and wait for good weather to climb the mountains.

Transport was very convenient now. Some rich explorers had provided financial support. There was no lack of funds here.

The train was about to pull into the station, but Lu Shu had not found any leads.

Suddenly, a burly man passed by Lu Shu and saw that Lu Shu had maps in his hands. He was also looking up routes on his phone. He stopped in his tracks and smiled. “Young man, are you also here to explore?”

Lu Shu looked up. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with a jacket tied around his waist. He was wearing a hat and had a massive backpack on his back.

Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Yup. If not why would I be here for. But I could not find a good team to go with. Brother, you seem to be very experienced.”

The burly man laughed. “I have done this for over ten years! There is no place that I have never been to! There is no place in the world that I cannot go to!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Brother, so you’ve been to Death Valley, right?”

“From Zhang Yanfeng’s distress, +666!”

Zhang Yanfeng’s face turned red. He said in a small voice, “I have never been there.”

Who knew that Lu Shu would bring up such a difficult place so quickly? When he saw that Lu Shu did not even have a backpack, he thought that Lu Shu was a beginner. But he had boasted too quickly…

“Ahem.” Lu Shu cleared his throat. “Brother, please don’t be offended. I was just asking.”

Lu Shu felt bad. He had genuinely asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Yanfeng did not seem to be a petty person either. After the initial awkwardness, he laughed. “Although I have never been there before, but this time, those who gather in Sacheng can choose three routes to take. For the first route, we will climb the boundary mountain and cross the Keriya Pass. For the second route, we will go to Mêdog County. As for the last route, we will cross into Death Valley through Kumukili Desert!”

Zhang Yanfeng was an expert when it came to exploration. If not, he would not be able to walk along routes that were more than 5000 meters above sea level. He was the kind who would be able to make a stir just by posting on his timeline. But he had been humiliated by Lu Shu…

Lu Shu suddenly asked, “But can we enter the Kunlun Mountains? I heard that something happened inside recently?”
