Chapter 082: Ice Hell
The body of the Ice Plain Dragon was more than eighty meters long, and the scales on its body were snow-white, and it looked like a raised snow bag from a distance when it was curled up, and no one would realize that danger was about to appear. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Kirk and the others walked in, the Ice Dragon suddenly burst into flames and sprayed a breath containing a lot of water vapor at everyone. The breath of the Ice Dragon instantly turned into a blizzard under the action of the cold air of the Ice Hell, and the few people who were shrouded in the breath instantly turned into ice sculptures.
"Why is the Iceborne Dragon here? ”
"We took the wrong route. ”
"I knew I was going to work with the second group. ”
Countless thoughts flashed through the hearts of the people, but none of them spoke their thoughts. The sudden appearance of the Ice Dragon was like a starting gun on a 100-meter race, and the moment it appeared, everyone had only one action - to escape.
Kirk and Niss, who were at the forefront, were lucky not to be targeted by the Ice Dragon, and the moment the crisis appeared, the two of them didn't even think about running straight into the distance. At this time, they can no longer care about the safety of those behind them, and the most important thing is to escape for their lives.
The capture level of the Ice Dragon is as high as 55, and with the unique environmental advantages of the Ice Continent, Kirk and the others simply don't have the courage to fight against it.
You don't need to run fast when a group of people are being chased by wild beasts, as long as you are faster than the people running at the back. With those cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Ice Dragon, Kirk and the others finally got rid of the threat of death.
The fast running made everyone inhale a lot of cold air, and the cold air of tens of degrees below zero caused frostbite on many people's lungs. Losing the initial momentum, the speed of the first group suddenly decreased to a quarter of what it was normally like.
"Uncle Kirk, are you alright?" asked Niss with concern.
"Don't worry, girl, I can hold it. "We can't stop, we have to hurry, and if the Iceborne catches up, we'll be wiped out." ”
He said this both to Niss and to the others who had escaped. Everyone's retreat has been blocked by the Ice Plains Dragon, and if they want to survive, they can only move forward.
The food hunters who chose the same route as Kirk were full of regret at this time, and maybe it would have been safer if they had chosen a different route in the first place. They also heard the faint screams, but in the hearts of these people, the other beasts of the Ice Continent were definitely not as terrifying as the Ice Dragon.
But now it's too late to regret it, and they can only follow Kirk step by step to the location of Century Soup.
At this time, the oncoming strong wind speed is about 30 meters per second, which is close to the strength of a 12-level typhoon, and the temperature is about minus 80 degrees, and the water vapor is frozen into ice at the moment of exhalation.
Trekking through such an environment requires tremendous effort at every step.
The constant breathing made everyone's faces covered with frost, and the cold-proof clothing they were wearing could no longer keep warm, and everyone's bodies were freezing a little bit.
The person walking at the back felt something hit him in the face, and he grabbed it and realized that it was someone in front of him who had frozen off his ear!
Fingers, toes, and ears, which are the ends of the blood circulation, will be the first to be affected by the cold because they do not have enough heat protection, and more people will have similar situations if they do not find ways to warm themselves as soon as possible.
The man at the end was about to ask Kirk to stop and rest, when something shiny pierced his abdomen with lightning under the strong wind.
He looked at his stomach in disbelief, and an ice ridge was inserted deep into it, and it was quickly stained red with blood.
The snow on the surface of the Ice Continent was cut by strong winds to form sharp ice edges at the top, and the broken ice edges turned into arrows that shot out under the force of the wind, and any object downwind would become their target.
"There's an ice edge blowing over, be careful. Kirk slapped his palm and shattered the ice edge that was piercing him.
Kirk and Niss smashed the ice edges in front of them as much as they could, and then many of them broke through their defenses and shot at the food hunters behind. The cold stiffened the movements of many people, who could normally easily deal with such a threat, but now they could only watch themselves being stabbed.
In an environment like the Ice Continent, injury means death.
After some scrambling, Bing Ling finally stopped, and in less than half an hour after landing on the Ice Continent, everyone saw the cruelty of Ice Hell.
No one cared about the wounded, and everyone moved forward silently.
The people at the back of the line and the vanguard distanced themselves little by little, trying to catch up but not moving at all. Their pace slowed down, and eventually their feet froze together with the ground.
Soon their bodies stiffened, and they became a new ghost in the Ice Hell.
After an hour of walking, Kirk and the others had only advanced two kilometers, which was a frustrating number.
Knowing that everyone's bodies had reached their limits, Kirk stopped and prepared to set up camp to rest.
Finding a dent, Kirk slammed his fist into the ground. With a bang, the hard ice exploded in all directions, and the ice surface caved to a depth of about two meters. With a few punches in quick succession, Kirk forced himself into an underground haven in the ice.
"Awesome, uncle. Niss said happily.
Without Kirk's actions, there would be no way for them to camp here, and the tents they prepared would not have been able to withstand such strong winds.
……
"It's such a bliss to have a cup of hot cocoa in an environment like Ice Hell. Niss had a smile on her face.
Instead of preparing cocoa powder, Kirk made a hot soup with dehydrated vegetables and jerky as the main ingredients in the soup.
Others were also preparing their own food, and none of them offered to share fuel and food with the others. Everything that happened along the way has made these people understand that the only one they can rely on in this team is themselves.
After a half-day break, Kirk and Niss prepared to move on, but none of the rest of the group made any moves.
"Have you all given up?" asked Kirk.
"If you go any further, you will not be frozen to death, and you will be eaten by the fierce beasts on the Ice Continent, so it is better to wait here for the strong wind to weaken and then return the same way. ”
Seeing that these people had lost their fighting spirit, Kirk did not persuade again: "I hope you can return to the icebreaker safely." ”
……
"Nis, I didn't expect you to be a girl who persevered to the end. ”
"Uncle, let's compete to see who finds the century soup first. Despite the difficult conditions, Niss remains optimistic.
PS: Okay, my nose has been swollen by myself, and I was thinking about making up for the chapters I owed, but I didn't expect to barely complete two shifts a day. I don't have the face to read the book review area, let me code words silently......
