The night quickly passed.
At seven o'clock the next morning, everyone got out of the cars, briefly washed up, ate some steamed buns and beef jerky, and then continued their journey.
Their current location was a desolate Gobi desert, with not a hint of green to be seen besides sand and gravel.
Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou followed Liu Bo as they drove forward, soon arriving in a vast, white world.
This was one of the landmark locations within the Keriya ancient route: Sulfur Daban.
Looking down from high above, the three cars were driving across a desolate ice field; previously, the ground had been covered in yellow sand and gravel.
After arriving here, the ground was almost entirely covered in ice, surrounded by the continuous Kunlun Mountains, as if they had entered an otherworldly wonderland.
"So there really is a wonderland in the Kunlun Mountains! It's so beautiful here," the girls in the car couldn't help but marvel.
"Do you think there might be immortal cultivators here?" Su Yang suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The girls stared blankly, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, Meng Wenzhou's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Old Su, Fatty, it looks like it's almost all ice up ahead. Should we put on the snow chains?"
"Sure, let's stop first."
The three cars quickly stopped. Just to be safe, they installed snow chains on the tires.
Half an hour later, all three cars were fully equipped.
Everyone set off again, moving forward along the icy surface, and soon reached the uphill section of Sulfur Daban.
Fortunately, this section of the road wasn't completely frozen. The middle of the road was mostly black soil, with only some frost on the sides.
The three cars drove up to the top of the slope one by one. The altitude of Sulfur Daban was a few hundred meters lower compared to Red Soil Daban.
And the difficulty of the road wasn't as hard as Red Soil Daban either.
Although it was much simpler here compared to Red Soil Daban, the danger was higher.
Because they were essentially driving on a narrow mountain ridge right now, and the width of the road on the ridge was only about two point two or two point three meters.
On both sides were steep cliffs. Calling them cliffs might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they were massive, steep slopes with a height of at least three or four hundred meters.
If they accidentally slipped down, it would basically mean the car destroyed and people killed, ascending to heaven on the spot.
Su Yang took out the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Everyone, be extremely careful driving up here. Although there isn't much ice on this ridge, we must go slow when going downhill later, otherwise if we fall, we'll be attending our own funerals."
"Haha, alright, copy that."
"OK, try to keep it slow, safety first."
"Alright, Fatty, let's go."
"Alright."
The three cars stayed on the mountain ridge for a little while before setting off again.
Liu Bo drove out first, and the two cars behind slowly followed.
The girls in Su Yang's car were all a bit terrified at this moment, after all, the sheer height of this place was right there.
Just looking at it was enough to make one's heart flutter, let alone driving on it with ice on both sides of the road.
"Go slow, Brother Su Yang."
"I know. Scared?"
"Yeah, it's too high here. If we roll down, it would be disastrous."
"Make sure your seatbelts are fastened."
"They are."
"Mhm, that's good. Don't worry, as long as we follow the road, it won't be a big problem."
"Okay."
It was everyone's first time experiencing this kind of terrain, so they kept their speed very slow.
After driving along the ridge for a while, they began to descend the mountain.
As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy, but going down is hard.
This saying doesn't just apply to people; it also affects vehicles.
Moreover, when they reached the downhill section, the road began to get even narrower.
Driving at the very front, Liu Bo kept stepping on the brakes all the way, while Ji Bo in the passenger seat gripped the grab handle tightly with his right hand.
"Slow down, Pang Ge, slow down."
"What are you scared of? I'm already slow enough."
"You can go even slower."
"Got it. Stop talking to me, it's affecting my driving."
"Alright, alright, I won't speak."
Although Liu Bo sounded relaxed, he was still a bit nervous inside. He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring intently at the road ahead.
After descending from Sulfur Daban, the altitude would drop rapidly.
The Keriya ancient route is an old route into Tibet. Everyone was now essentially crossing in reverse from the Tibetan region to Xinjiang Province.
Driving this way was relatively simpler.
If they drove this route from Xinjiang to Tibet, they would need to rapidly climb from an altitude of one thousand meters to a plateau at five thousand meters.
With such a rapid increase in altitude, many people's bodies definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.
Fortunately, they were going from high to low, which made it much better.
The three cars slowly drove down along the ridge. The girls were on edge, silently praying that nothing would go wrong.
The drivers were also exceptionally focused; after all, one careless mistake leading to a fall would cost them their lives.
However, things never go that smoothly. The continuous long downhill slope caused the brakes on Liu Bo's car to overheat.
Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou, following behind, noticed that the lead car's speed was starting to increase.
Su Yang hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Slow down, Fatty, what are you doing?"
"Oh no, Brother Yang, I think my brakes are gone!!"
"Damn it, don't panic, stay calm! Are you not using manual mode? Switch to manual mode first, lower the gear, pull the electronic handbrake! If that doesn't work, just follow the road for now!! Whatever you do, don't panic!"
Hearing the conversation and seeing the car ahead speeding up, the people in Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou's cars instantly tensed up, their breathing quickening.
Even Pan Ning, who was always calm, began to get nervous.
Meng Wenzhou also shouted at this time, "Fatty, try pumping the brakes continuously, maybe it's just a temporary failure."
"Okay, okay, okay!!" It was now Ji Bo speaking.
Liu Bo was staring at the road ahead with extreme tension. He had indeed forgotten to switch to manual mode when going downhill just now.
Because he had been stepping on the brakes the whole time, it caused the brakes to overheat and fail.
He hurriedly switched the mode to manual now, then followed the road, slightly turning the steering wheel continuously.
In just a few breaths, Liu Bo had widened the distance from the two cars behind him.
Ji Bo's panicked screams continuously came through the walkie-talkie.
Ahhh!!
Hearing the screams, Su Yang was extremely anxious.
"Everyone sit tight!!" After saying this, Su Yang stepped on the gas pedal and started accelerating to chase Liu Bo.
Because he saw that a few hundred meters below, there was a section of the ridge that widened significantly. He planned to rush there, overtake Liu Bo, and use the rear of his car to block and stop the lead car.
Although doing this sounded a bit too extreme and was also extremely dangerous.
However, there was still a long way to go on this downhill road. If Liu Bo was allowed to just rush all the way down like this, the car might reach an uncontrollable speed.
Even if they didn't crash down the steep slope, there were still various complex terrains waiting for Liu Bo at the bottom of the mountain. Rushing down at high speed would have severe consequences, with a ninety-five percent chance of ascending to heaven on the spot.
Su Yang didn't have time to think too much; he slammed his foot on the gas pedal.
Seeing this, Meng Wenzhou hurriedly shouted, "Old Su, what are you doing!!"
Su Yang had no time to answer; he accelerated rapidly to chase after Liu Bo ahead.
At this moment, the heartbeats of the girls in the car had almost stopped.
