Chapter Twenty-Three: The Horror of Cold
Word Count: 4412 Renault and several people were almost the last to squeeze into the hole, and the people behind were some low-strength or idle mercenaries, they didn't want to enter early, but there was really no way, the hole was so big, and Renault also saw a few weak mercenaries desperately squeezing in and being killed on the spot by a large mercenary group.

In the case of a threat to life, other people's lives are obviously not so important, and each powerful mercenary group will try its best to get the people of its own mercenary group in first, and the first to go is all powerful mercenary groups, which is the advantage of joining a large mercenary group.
So the mercenaries behind didn't dare to rush forward anymore, so they had to bite the bullet at the rear, if these wolves hadn't stopped, I'm afraid none of these people behind would have survived.
The wolves seemed to be very afraid of this hole, and did not dare to step forward to kill them, and after ten minutes of being stuck here, the wolves, who felt that they had little chance, gave up on them and turned to fight for the corpses of the remaining humans.
"Huhu, finally in. Renault looked at this wide hole, ten or twenty meters high, dark and smooth stone walls, and there was no decoration of the envoy, the black lead to the ground, the air in the cave was okay, there was no strange smell.
The mercenaries who entered the cave took out the fluorescent magic lamps they carried with them, which were small but enough to see the nearby scenery clearly.
"Look,, this door is going to be closed?" a shout rang out.
"Boom" closed the entrance of the cave after everyone entered the cave, and there was no way to retreat, and the mercenaries looked at each other, but even if the entrance of the cave was open, who would dare to go out? There was a large group of hungry wolves outside, anyway, they were all here, so they had to go forward and explore.
Many mercenaries rushed directly into the cave after entering the cave, and they were really seriously injured and had to sit on the ground to bandage and treat, obviously many people were full of hope and even fanaticism for the wolf king's treasure.
"Renault, what should we do, we can't get anything out of this strength. Ngawang smiled bitterly.
"Who said that, we will find the treasure, the treasure must be mine!" exclaimed Rurul.
"Twitter" Xiao Yebai was finally willing to get out of Renault's clothes, and as soon as he came out, he was a mocking provocation to Luluer.
"Hey, what else can I do? Renault smiled wryly.
Ngawang looked at the mercenaries lying on the ground and leaning against the wall, his face a little unbearable.
"Let's go, old black, we can't help them, besides...... They don't necessarily believe us. Ruruel seemed to read Ngawang's thoughts, reminded, and then walked forward without looking back.
Indeed, those injured mercenaries, especially those who have lost their companions, are looking around with very vigilant eyes, adventuring outside, the most terrifying thing is not the murderer or the environment, the most terrifying thing is these intelligent creatures like themselves.
Ngawang sighed, knowing that Ruruel was right, and then walked quickly forward.
The cave went down diagonally, because it was almost the last to enter, and now there were no people on the road, and there were some small mercenary groups like Renault and the others and idle mercenaries scattered around.
The hole was a bit of a twist and turn, and there was nothing special along the way, and something began to appear after ten minutes or so.
Some murals have appeared on the rock wall one after another, all of which are painted of wolves, wolves flying in the sky, wolves walking on their own, giant wolves roaring in the sea, and so on.
"Is this still a Warcraft?" Renault was a little incredulous, the more advanced the Warcraft, the higher the intelligence, he didn't believe it before, but seeing this cave, seeing these stone walls Renault gradually believed that the high-level Warcraft may have the wisdom that is not inferior to that of intelligent creatures, but the high-level Warcraft are rare.
Renault walked around, he was still curious about these things, and it was hard to imagine how the wolves could do it.
Then they gradually declined, there were more and more murals, Renault and Ngawang were dazzled, as for Ruluer, he was just anxious to see if there were any traces of treasure on the murals, and soon he was disappointed, there were some wolf deeds on it, and Renault They even saw the murals of the three giant wolves fighting the dragon.
"Hey, it's widened. "Luluer said, the cave is getting wider and wider, and soon they will appear in a hall, a very wide underground hall, and the previous mercenaries seem to be here, so many mercenaries standing in this huge hall still seem very relaxed, I am afraid that they can stand tens of thousands of people casually.
The most striking thing is a stone pillar in the middle of this rotunda, which is afraid that many people have to be surrounded to hold it, it is very huge, and this stone pillar alone occupies at least one-sixth of this hall, and it is pitch black leading to the top, and the top cannot be seen.
The second is a huge statue in front of the stone pillar, people can only vaguely see the lower body of this statue, it seems to be a woman in a long dress, at least three adult human beings are stacked to have a statue with a big toe high, not to mention the entire statue, because the light is not enough Renault can not see what is going on above, only know that the ceiling of this hall must be very high.
The mercenaries had long since scattered in search of the so-called treasure, but the hall was so empty that there was nothing but stone pillars and statues, and then countless frescoes.
A mercenary searched for a long time and didn't find anything good, so under the decision of the leaders, everyone touched around, hoping to trigger the mechanism or something, after all, it is normal for this kind of treasure land to have a mechanism.
Renaud continued to look at his frescoes, and he had nothing to do anyway, and one of them attracted him, and the main character of this mural turned out to be a human, a masked woman, who looked very moving, and then some people with wolf heads, as if something had happened.
This mural is also deliberately dyed white.,It seems to emphasize something.,It seems to be a very important event for the wolf clan.,Obviously, this place has long been touched by the mercenaries.,But it's a pity they didn't find anything.。
Renault watched it for a while and then thought of a widely circulated mythological story, could it have anything to do with it?
However, the mercenaries who were trying to find the treasure did not notice them, and they seemed to have triggered something after they entered, and the stone walls above were covered with small stone holes, and a trace of milky white gas slowly emerged......
"Hmm, why does it seem to be getting cold?" Renault tightened his clothes, he obviously felt a chill, but when he looked left and right, he found that it was still the same, but the mercenaries were even more crazy, and began to bombard the wall with attacks, hoping to find something.
Renault had a bad premonition, he always felt that something was going to happen, but he was uncertain, so he hurried to find Ngawang and Rurul who was scurrying around.
"What's the matter, sir, have you found a treasure?" said Rurul, who had thought Renault was very clever since he had brought them in, and now apparently thought that Renault had made another great discovery.
"No, I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen. Renault frowned, "Ngawang still remembers Xiao Yebai's performance in the Gray Shadow Jungle, right?"
"Well, Xiao Yebai is very clever, what's wrong?" Ah Wang didn't know what Renault was thinking, so he had to answer truthfully.
Renault didn't speak, but pointed to the little leaf white in his clothes, the little guy seemed to be stimulated now, showing half of his little head and looking around vigilantly, not at all alive and quiet.
"Dangerous?" Awang frowned and looked around, but he really didn't find any danger, the most dangerous thing was that the group of mercenaries were destroying everywhere and looking for treasure.
"I don't know, but let's go check out the statue first, and maybe find something. Renault looked at the huge statue, and he thought of a phrase in the anagram "The veil of the goddess will eventually be lifted" Could it be that the goddess was referring to this statue, but he couldn't see the upper part of the statue and Renault was not sure.
The most conspicuous thing in the hall is nothing more than the statue and the stone pillar, and the stone pillar is bare and doesn't seem to have any secrets to hide, so needless to say, most of the secrets are hidden in that statue, so this place is basically surrounded by mercenaries, and some have even climbed the statue to see if they can find anything.
Looking at this statue closely, I feel that its grandeur is completely carved out of the stone wall, and it is the same black stone as the surrounding stone wall, which is completely integrated.
"Renault, what do you see they found?" Awang looked curiously as a large group of people gathered around a place.
"What is this?" said Renault, frowning, and finally they squeezed in a bit, and saw clearly what everyone was watching, which was a pile of scattered pieces, each wrapped in a layer of white, scattered all over the ground.
"There's one over there. Rulul was surprised to find that there were more than one fragments, and there were many piles scattered around the statue, but they did not look like anything of value.
"Huh, Renault?" a voice sounded, it was Daisy, the female knight of the Calamity Mercenary Regiment.
"Uh, curious what these things are. "I still have a good impression of Daishi Renaud, who is powerful but very kind and kind.
"I don't know, our mercenary group was the first to come in and found this thing, and after looking at it for a long time, I found that it was worthless, and it was still cold in my hand, and there was nothing to look at. Daisy said with a wrinkled nose.
"Did you find anything?" asked Renault, referring to the treasure, of course.
"Don't mention it, nothing was found, this place is very poor, there is nothing but these fragments. Daisy said helplessly, they were the first to come in, but nothing was progressing.
"By the way, the head of the regiment is looking for you, you must know the clues. Thinking of this, Daisy became excited, and she saw Renault's previous performance.
"Ahem, maybe. Renault smiled awkwardly.
"Look, what's up there?" was an exclamation.
Renault and the others hurriedly looked up, only to see that there was a white thing on the wall that seemed to be gas slowly flowing down, and this was the case in all directions, and the entire stone wall was surrounded by this kind of white gas slowly flowing down, which was very beautiful at first glance, just like a fairy aura.
"What's it? Hey, it seems to be a lot colder. Daisy looked at these white gases curiously, these white gases did not bring her any dangerous aura at all, as if they were very ordinary things.
However, Renault's face turned white when he saw this scene, and he muttered: "White gas, white air, cold, cold air..... damn it, Awang, Ruruer, let's go back, Miss Daisy, it's dangerous here!"
Ngawang and Ruruel believed in Renault, but Daisy was confused, danger, what danger?
"Hey, Renault, let's make it clear first, what?" asked Daisy as she ran.
"Do you remember what the surviving thief of your Calamity mercenary group said?" replied Renault.
"What? oh, that, what's wrong? Wait, Bai Qi, this is the cold air!?" Daisy's face changed drastically, she also happened to be resting in the stronghold near the Blood Wolf Valley at the time, she was there that day, and she will never forget the terrifying look on the face of the guy when he mentioned the cold air.
"No, I'm going to inform the others!" Daisy gritted her teeth and ran to find someone from the Calamity Mercenary Regiment.
Renaud ignored her, and ran towards the hole where they came in, but at this time, Xiao Yebai stopped doing it, and suddenly jumped out and stopped in front of several people, chattering and dancing to express something.
"You mean it's dangerous there?" Renault still trusted Xiao Yebai very much, and then he looked over there and suddenly understood, because the hall was very wide, and the white qi seemed to flow just down at their speed.
Cold sweat flowed down Renault's forehead, what should I do now, trapped here? No matter, this kind of white gas flowed out from all around, then the middle of the hall must have been affected last, let's go to the stone pillar first.
Then he dragged Ngawang Luruer and ran in the direction of the stone pillar, the two of them were confused, but Renault must have a reason for doing this, so he changed direction with Renault and ran towards the stone pillar.
Just when a few people arrived at the stone pillar, the white qi on the side was almost to the end, and at this speed, it could flow to the end in a few minutes, and a cadre of mercenaries stood curiously looking at this strange scene.
"If you can't find the treasure, forget it, what is it, is it worth it? Damn, I can't find any more money, wine, and money. A short, bearded, but very strong dwarf stood on the edge of the stone wall near the statue and muttered, still trying to find a mechanism.
"Huh, what's wrong?" the dwarf suddenly realized that something was wrong with his body, and he stiffened a little.
"I can't move!?" After two seconds of the dwarf's frightened discovery, he found that his body could not move at all, and a trace of cold came out of his bones, he only felt very cold now, he had never felt so cold.
Not only this dwarf, but the people standing on the side were horrified to find that their bodies were completely stiff in a few seconds, and a cold spread across the air, they couldn't move at all, and a faint white like frost began to slowly appear on their bodies.
It's not that they are not vigilant enough, but although they think that this thing may be something dangerous, it is still dozens of meters away from them, and it is not too late to hide later.
So they were unlucky, and their companions, who were standing a little farther away, saw that they suddenly stiffened, and kept their expressions as before, but their eyes were full of horror.
"What's the matter, Tom, why didn't you move, what did you find. A young man noticed that his companion was still there, and walked forward curiously.
"Well, what? No, I can't move? How can this be, okay...... Cold. "Just a few seconds closer to his companion, he couldn't move.
Similar pictures appeared in this hall, and by the time people reacted, the white gas had already flowed to the bottom, and hundreds of people had already been frozen in place, and the awakened mercenaries retreated in panic.
The "click" white qi finally came into contact with the first person, who completely turned white in a second or two from the foot, and then slowly shattered like a statue, shattering into white pieces while he still maintained his original vivid expression.
Everyone who saw this horrific scene gasped, and now they knew what those white pieces were.
Everyone in the hall was silent, staring blankly at this scene, the whole hall was very quiet, only the sound of "click" and "click" in all directions remained!
