Chapter 44: The Black Hand
It's not surprising that a pirate captain has a ****.
The owner of that pocket watch is probably also him.
Xiao Ning rubbed his hands, this trip to the ice cave was really worth it!
This thing is in the modern world, but private ownership is expressly forbidden, and now he has one!
In times of danger, this will be his greatest reliance!
"I don't know what country you are a pirate, or how many sins you have committed. ”
"However, since I got your gun, I still have to thank you. ”
Xiao Ning bowed to the pirate captain's ice corpse and showed respect for the dead, which was also as it should be.
Not superstition, but upbringing.
Xiao Ning bypassed the pirate captain's ice corpse and continued to walk deeper into the ice cave.
The space here is already very narrow, and the slope is getting steeper, Xiao Ning needs to hunch down to make sure he doesn't slide down all at once.
The second fire broke out, and it also burned out.
After squeezing the time he had just encountered the ice corpse, he should have another five or six minutes before he could reach the deepest part of the ice cave.
Xiao Ning lit the third fire fold.
The oxygen here is very thin, the fire burns very slowly, the light is dim, and you need to concentrate to see the road ahead.
Five minutes later, the coldness reached an extreme, and Xiao Ning couldn't help but start rubbing his arms.
Boom!
Xiao Ning's feet kicked a stone!
Xiao Ning leaned down and shone the stone with the faint light of the fire.
This is a pale blue transparent stone, which should be the ice stone that Bahaba said!
"Hahaha! With this, Chen Xue will be saved!"
Xiao Ning was a little excited, grabbed the ice stone, and stuffed it into the cloth bag prepared in advance.
This ice stone is extremely cold, and it cannot be directly touched with the skin, so you must wear gloves.
When Xiao Ning picked up the ice stone and stuffed it into his backpack and got up, the firelight shook forward, and Xiao Ning was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.
In front, it was full of ice stones!
Some are very large, like watermelons, and some are small, like quail eggs.
Xiao Ning looked at his backpack, maybe, he could pack some more!
This ice stone should be very rare!
Xiao Ning grinned and began to load the ice stone.
The ones he chose were about the size of an egg, and he thought that the size of such an ice stone should be more appropriate.
Ice stones are extremely hard, naturally occurring and cannot be cut without special tools.
In the end, Xiao Ning filled a cloth bag, which was full of hundreds of ice stones.
"It's a bit heavy, but it's okay. Xiao Ning grinned again, a little happy.
"Gotta go back. Xiao Ning looked at the third flame that was about to be extinguished, and began to quickly turn back.
When the third fire fold was extinguished, Xiao Ning lit the fourth fire fold.
It was at this time that Xiao Ning found that his resistance to the cold was getting weaker and weaker!
"Oops, it should be that the effect of those cold repellents is almost over!"
Xiao Ning gritted his teeth, he was still sighing just now, taking a few ice stones is like picking up something.
Now, the crisis is coming! People, you really can't be too complacent!
Xiao Ning quickened his pace and almost ran.
But in the dim ice cave, he didn't dare to run fast, in case he fell, he might not be able to get up!
The fourth fire was extinguished.
Xiao Ning lit the last flame fold, and at this time, a trace of frost had already appeared on his eyebrows!
Xiao Ning's breathing became rapid, and he felt like he was about to freeze.
It's a feeling that's even more stimulating than stuffing your head in the fridge!
"No, I have to lose weight, otherwise I won't be able to run fast!"
Xiao Ning was ruthless and poured out half of the ice stone.
If he hadn't discarded the Ice Stone, he would probably have been trapped here!
Now is not the time to be sad, and what should be given up must be given up.
"Not yet!"
Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and threw away half of the ice stones, and at this point, there were only more than twenty ice stones left in his cloth bag.
Xiao Ning originally planned to come back a few days after going out and take these ice stones out with him.
After all, the dropped ice stones were already very close to the entrance of the cave, and it only took him two or three fire crackers to get them out.
However, what made Xiao Ning a little depressed was that this ice cave had a slope and was always extending downward.
Therefore, all these ice stones rolled down again.
Xiao Ning sighed secretly and continued to speed up.
Finally, the fifth fire broke out!
However, because of the delay in collecting the ice stones just now, there is no shortage of fire crackers!
He hadn't reached the entrance of the cave yet, and it was still pitch black in front of him.
There was no way, Xiao Ning could only run forward in the dark.
At this time, Xiao Ning was extremely nervous in his heart, he was afraid that he would stay here and become an ice corpse!
He is afraid of death, and no one is afraid of death.
Boom!
Suddenly, Xiao Ning hit his head on the stone wall.
Xiao Ning was delighted, he knew that he was almost at the entrance of the cave, because not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a relatively obvious corner.
Xiao Ning knew that he was about to see the light of day again, and his mood became happy, and his steps gradually accelerated.
"It's here!"
A light suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiao Ning knew that he was less than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave!
Xiao Ning's breathing became rapid, and he began to sprint 100 meters.
He didn't want to be like the Baha's people, who would be frozen into popsicles at the last minute.
But just after he had run for about thirty meters, he suddenly saw a black shadow appear in front of him.
Immediately afterward, he was pushed back by a huge force.
Xiao Ning, who was already exhausted, could not resist this huge force, and his body fell backwards, and at the same time rolled all the way down from the ice cave with a slope, and came to the deeper part of the pitch-black ice cave.
Boom!
Xiao Ning's head hit the rock wall, and the whole person was stunned, and it took a long time to wake up.
When he regained consciousness, his face turned pale in an instant.
He's probably going to die here!
At the same time, Xiao Ning also became angry, it was obviously a person's palm, covering his chest!
Who the hell is that man, and why are you pushing him?
At the same time, at the entrance of the cave, three members of the Baha'i tribe came out of the ice cave.
"How's it going?"
Chen Ling, who was anxiously waiting, immediately asked.
"We explored more than 100 meters forward, but we didn't dare to go any further because we didn't have the medicine to protect us from the cold. ”
"But didn't find your friends. ”
One of the Baha's, who was fluent in Mandarin, replied.
Chen Ling's head was empty all of a sudden, and it had been almost half an hour since the agreed time.
The average person, without any defenses, lasts in the ice cave for half an hour at most.
In other words, Xiao Ning may have ......
"Give me the medicinal soup! I'm going to go in and have a look!" Chen Ling gritted his teeth, he made such a determination.
"It's too dangerous, little brother Xiao Ning, he is probably already ......" Bahaba looked at Chen Ling's gaze, and there was a slight change, and the softness in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of ferocity.
Since Xiao Ning didn't come out, then ......
