Chapter 418: Self-defeating-1
If you look down from the sky, you can see a white line inside the Caspian Sea defense line, and then quickly form a white circle and shrink towards the center.
But from the ground, you can only see a white line rapidly approaching in the click of freezing, and before you reach the island of Chechnya, a chill comes to your face.
Both the gnolls who were fetching water and the creatures from the other planes were stunned by this spectacle.
Because the plane they live in is a dry and water-scarce and hot world, let alone frozen, it is estimated that they have never even seen rain in their lives.
How do you make them understand why good water suddenly turns into hard, transparent stone? What about water? Where did all that water go?
The bone-chilling low temperature swept across Chechnya in an instant, and even stained a large number of plants on the island with crystal white frost, not to mention these heterogeneous creatures that originally lived in an environment with an average temperature of 50 °C.
Originally, the subtropical climate of the Caspian Sea was already a little cooler for them as if the air conditioning was turned on in summer.
The sudden temperature change from minus thirty or forty degrees to minus thirty or forty degrees almost caused the destruction of these ectopic creatures.
The hairless epidermis they evolved to dissipate heat does not have the slightest warmth function at all, and some of them can run tremblingly into the plane fog in an attempt to escape back to their habitat.
And some of the weaker ones were simply frozen, such as those floating jellyfish floating in the air, which were instantly frozen and hardened, falling down and shattering.
The jackals relied on their strong constitution to resist this wave of cold current, but the completely frozen water of the lake hindered their movement to get water.
An extraordinarily strong and tall gnoll leader trembled and groped around on the ice, and lay down and tentatively licked it with his tongue...... Oh~Wow!
The tongue was frozen on the ice in an instant, and the startled gnoll leader subconsciously raised his head and retracted, and as a result, the tongue in his mouth was more than two feet long!
The frightened man threw away the mace of the spine in his hand, and reached out to pull his tongue back like a tug-of-war, but accidentally slipped under his feet, and slipped out of the distance, "pop!" and broke his tongue, and the painful one covered his bloody mouth, howling and rolling on the ground.
With the subtropical climate of the Caspian Sea, it is certainly impossible to maintain the frozen ice sheet of the lake forever, but it will not melt in the short term.
In particular, the surrounding craters form a relatively airtight barrier, which not only hinders the melting of the ice sheet by the external warm air currents, but also forms an "ice well" microclimate inside the crater.
Even strong sunlight projected from the "wellhead" is refracted by the smooth ice surface.
The hot air falling from above will also be blocked by the cold fog emitted by the ice field, which successfully hinders the action of the heterotope creatures to "plunder" the water resources of the Datang space-time plane.
Bai Yuqi didn't expect that his [Extreme Deep Cold-Ice Age] would have such a big impact on the creatures of the heterotopic plane, which was an unexpected joy.
But while the gnolls were in a panic, new alien races reappeared in other directions on the island of Chechnya.
First of all, the vultures who had just withdrawn to the fog of the plane rushed out with a large number of their kind, and quickly enveloped the sky over Chechen Island like a dark cloud.
But immediately confused by the changed environment, the vultures who led the team circled blankly, obviously not understanding how the paradise that had just been a large lake had become a cold hell.
As a creature similar to vultures, they have a long bare neck and bald head, a pair of strong thighs are also bare, only the torso and wings are covered with feathers, coupled with their super fast flight speed, they sprint in the low temperature freezing fog for such a circle, that cool feeling jio, hiss~ can be vigorous!
Another group of humanoids with insect characteristics also appeared in groups to the north of Chechnya.
These insect people look like giant ants walking upright, but with the exception of their hind limbs, which support their bodies, their four arms are nimble with weapons.
They shook the tentacles on their heads, silently communicating with pheromones, and the cold cold seemed to have little effect on them, and soon began to poison the trees on the island, and swarms of their own hideous jaws gnawed at the trunks.
After the stout trees were gnawed off by them, they carried them up with branches and leaves, and quickly transported them back to the plane in the mist.
At the same time, the white frost mist on the large area of cold ice also attracted their attention.
Although they may not have seen such a thing as ice, they instinctively realize the benefits of this thing for themselves.
Begin to lie down and gnaw at the ice with its jaws, or chisel the ice with a stone spear made of something similar to obsidian, carving out chunks of ice to transport back into the plane mist.
Due to the huge number of these giant ant-men, tens of thousands of them had already poured out of the plane fog in a short time.
Therefore, not only has a large piece of barren land been created in the north of Chechen Island, but it is also rapidly expanding to the east of Chechen Island.
With the speed at which they encroach, I am afraid that it will not be long before the entire Chechen island will be turned into a deserted island with no grass, and it will come into contact with the gnolls in the east.
These ectopous creatures seem to have a thirst for organic matter such as plants and water.
The giant ants are digging out huge blocks of ice at an alarming speed and carrying them away on their own shoulders.
It is well known that ants are a strong man among insects, capable of lifting weights tens or hundreds of times more than their own body weight.
Although these giant ant-men have evolved a humanoid form that stands on their hind limbs, their physiological structure is not much different from that of ants.
So when they lie down and support their bodies with their feet and four arms at the same time, they are no different from ordinary ants that have been magnified countless times.
As a result, the giant ants are very exaggerated when carrying the ice, and they can often only see a large block of ice moving on the ground.
The most important thing is that these giant ants are different from ordinary ants, they obviously have a certain amount of intelligence, so they know how to cooperate with each other to carry things more efficiently, and can even rely on large jaws to gnaw and stone spears to cut a large area of ice, which is collectively resisted by a large group of giant ants.
As a result, the ice sheet north of Chechnya was removed by giant ants at a rate visible to the naked eye, exposing large swaths of silt at the bottom of the lake.
