Chapter Ninety-One: Ice City
The gate to the ruins under the glacier was finally opened, but it was only a passage to the ruins, and the ice under the glacier was divided into two types. One is ordinary ice, but it is as hard as steel due to the pressure and temperature, but if you get closer, you can feel the biting cold.
There is another kind of ice that I don't know if it counts as ice, on the surface, these are ice, but their hardness is stronger, no matter how hard ordinary ice is, it can't bear two or three pickaxes of Tang Dou, but this kind of ice Tang Dou almost has to use all his strength to leave a very shallow mark on it.
Not only that, but the ice doesn't have any more characteristics than it looks like ice - especially the temperature, which you can't feel even if you touch it with your hands.
And these ice-like things will have a glare flash every once in a while, the brightness of the glare is not high, and it will be ignored if you don't pay attention to it, but every time the glare flashes, these ice-like objects will return to their original state.
The two marks that Tang Dou had worked hard to get out before were less than three inches deep, and they were completely recovered after a flash of light.
Fortunately, these things seem to be the "building materials" of the ruins themselves, including the passage in front of everyone.
"Everybody goes as a team. Girl, you and Ellie are with Elika. Morrian, Eugene, Gulden, you take the three guards with you, fatty, you manage the laborers, let them make a simple camp outside the passage, and tell them that as long as they are no longer stupid, their sins will be canceled off, but if they dare to mess around, I will let them die in the most painful way! ”
"Shasha, Bajie, you go in with me in Bao!"
After giving the orders in turn, the people began to walk into the passage. Tang Dou stood on Bao's shoulders, Sha Yunyue and Chihuo sat in the lower back position, and both Bao and Koharuko had their bodies the size of bison, which was the most suitable in this passage.
Not far through the passage, everyone found themselves in another world, a city completely frozen in ice. If the city had not been frozen up, perhaps it would have been a city on the water, because everyone found that under the ice beneath their feet, there was a surface of water that I didn't know if it was a lake or an ocean, and the water under the ice was still flowing, reflecting a glimmer of light from time to time.
Fortunately, the ice under your feet is also the kind of ice that has no temperature, the strength is amazing, there is nothing to worry about walking on it, the only thing you need to pay attention to is non-slip. Tang Dou and they were sitting on Ah Bao's body, and Ah Bao's claws could grip the ground tightly.
Lin Xiao has a lot of equipment on his body, and he also has anti-slip means, Ellie simply floats away, Ileka is strong, as long as she pays attention, she is not afraid of slipping, Morion, Eugene, they are similar.
However, the people of Sanwei almost couldn't stand, especially Qingfengwei, the sand scorpion was afraid of the cold, and it was impossible to come to such a place, so they changed from heavy riding to heavy stepping, but the combat boots under their feet were not very non-slip, and once they slid, it was not easy to get up - the ground was too slippery.
Tang Dou asked Sanwei's people to take out towels and other things and tie them to their feet, which solved the problem of friction.
The world under the glacier is surrounded by crystal clear ice, of various shapes, and I don't know when the light of the stone is constantly reflected back and forth in the ice, turning into a dreamlike blue.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, a cliff appeared in front of him, and the entire ice layer cracked a hole of more than fifty meters, and from that huge crack you could see the water surface covered with blue mist below, the temperature was frighteningly low, and bronze-level people would feel unbearable cold when they were working their soul power at full strength here. I really don't know what will happen if I fall.
"It's so cold in here!" Lin Xiao rubbed his little hands.
"My lord, the width of this rift is only fifty meters, and we should be able to find a way to build a temporary bridge over it!" Ileka said as she looked at the rift in front of her.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Tang Dou took out a piece of iron from his arms, and he often put these strange things in his space bag.
Throwing the piece of iron into the water, there was a sudden sound of gasping around him.
The buoyancy of the water is strangely amazing, the buoyancy on the surface is the same as normal water, but every time it sinks, its buoyancy increases, and a piece of iron of more than ten kilograms only sinks less than three meters before it no longer sinks. What's even more amazing is that the temperature under the water seems to be sinking lower and lower, and the three-meter iron block under the water is suspended at the same time, and it is also quickly covered with a white frost.
Strangely, the water itself does not freeze.
"This water is too dangerous, don't jump over it until you understand it. Let's follow the rift to see if there is a place nearby to pass through. Tang Dou commanded loudly.
The line of sight under the ice cave is not far away, and the constant reflection of the ice will form an effect similar to a mirage, beyond a certain distance, only a blue depression can be seen.
The three guards scattered along the edge of the rift to find a possible passage, no one dared to get too close to the rift, the temperature was not something that ordinary people could stop, and without the strength above the gold level, even within five meters of the rift could not stay for a long time.
Tang Dou jumped down from Ah Bao, took out the Roaring Sky Bow and shot an arrow at the opposite bank, the force used was not large, the arrow was not fast, but it was about the same speed as an ordinary arrow, but this flying arrow was flying over the water, but it was suddenly hit by the splash that jumped up, quickly froze, and then sank underwater.
There was another gasp.
The surface of the water seems to be aggressive. If you had built a bridge by yourself, as Ileka had said, you would definitely be attacked.
Tang Dou shot an arrow again, this time with the power of two hundred stones, the tungsten steel arrow shot out like a bullet, but the effect was the same, the tungsten steel arrow more than one meter above the ground just flew half of the water, and was hit by the jumping water, which was also instantaneous freezing.
"It seems that speed alone can't do it!" Tang Dou thought about it, then changed to the Sky Booming Bow and shot out an energy arrow.
This time the energy arrow was not frozen, but the energy arrow collapsed halfway through the flight.
"Will the entity freeze, and the energy body will disintegrate at an accelerated rate? That's pretty comprehensive! Whoever comes with a fireball, the temperature is a little higher! Tang Dou turned his head and shouted.
Several fire-attribute girls from Warsong Guard walked out together, and in five minutes, they joined forces to create a fiery white fireball the size of a human head, and the temperature of this thing could melt arm-thick steel in ten seconds.
But this blazing white fireball flew closer than the energy arrow, and almost as soon as the fireball flew above the water, the entire water surface suddenly surged and churned, as if there was an invisible giant beast under the water surface that was turning over the river and the sea.
The fireball was struck by countless churning waters, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a wisp of green smoke.
The group was stupid.
"Is this water alive or dead?" Lin Xiao grabbed his head with a puzzled expression.
"Bajie, can you control this water?" Tang Dou looked at Chihuo again.
She is the only one with a top-level water system battle spirit among everyone.
Chihuo shook his head: "This thing doesn't seem to be water, anyway, my battle spirit doesn't react to this thing at all!" ”
"It doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing!" Tang Dou spread his hands: "It seems that we can only honestly wait for everyone to find the channel, if there is no channel, then we can only go back first and think of other ways." ”
Fortunately, God didn't play such a bad joke on Tang Dou and them, and half an hour later, a team of berserker groups found a passage.
One...... Underwater passages.
Yes, it was an underwater passage, the entrance was on the ground, and it looked like an underground passage, but it was an underwater passage, and the translucent passage could be seen from the water.
"Is this safe?" Lin Xiao was a little afraid. It was the blue water that impressed her so much.
"I'll take a look!" Tang Dou thought for a while.
"No way!" All the girls are against it.
Tang Dou smiled dumbly: "My strength is the strongest here, and I have the strongest defensive ability such as time and seconds, if there is any accident, I am the only one who is most likely to escape." Isn't it me going or who is it? Rest assured, it doesn't look like it's human, so this passage shouldn't be a trap either! I'll come when I go! ”
Regardless of the opposition of the girls, Tang Dou plunged headlong into the energy passage. A pair of skates appeared under his feet and slid over.
The passage is also a strengthened version of the ice, but it seems to be smoother, and the mixture of reflection and refraction gives people the illusion that this passage may disappear at any time, even if Tang Dou's courage slides in this passage, it is a moment of fear.
But obviously there is nothing wrong with this passage, that kind of reinforced ice once again proved its strength, there is nothing to say, Tang Dou quickly came to the other end from the passage, went to the other side to say hello to everyone, and came back from the passage.
"The temperature in the cave is a little lower, but it's still tolerable. In this way, the silver and above will follow us, and the bronze will stay here to make a decision.
Three-quarters of the personnel were eliminated in one fell swoop. Only commander-level personnel can follow.
The crowd quickly passed through the passage and came to the other side.
When they reached the other side, they were closer to the ice city, and everyone accelerated their speed forward, and as the distance got closer, the visual impairment effect caused by the dazzling blue light slowly dissipated, and then, a rather beautiful city appeared in front of their eyes.
The city was not large, small or medium-sized at best, but it was built on the scale of a fortress - with towering walls, walled towers, and a militarized distribution that could be seen at a glance.
The entire city is made of ice, probably the kind of reinforced ice, and the whole city has only one wall, and the other three directions are directly protected by icebergs. The only direction facing everyone is a five-kilometer-wide ice wall, and on top of the wall is a row of ice sculptures of various monsters.
"This city is so beautiful!" Lin Xiao sighed.
"Did you hear anything?" The Butterfly Clan is quite sensitive to the vibration of the air, although she didn't hear any specific sounds, but the vibration of the air made her feel a little.
Everyone listened intently, but only Tang Dou faintly heard something.
"Boss, the smell in the air isn't right!" Po was the second to find the problem.
"Ellie, go up and have a look, but be careful!" Tang Dou said.
Ellie immediately rose into the air, but had barely reached fifty meters when an ice arrow shot from the city, shooting at Ellie like lightning.
The wings of the war spirit behind Eugene spread out and rushed into the sky to save Ellie.
"Defense!"
After the first ice arrow flew out, a rain of ice arrows flew towards everyone.
Qingfeng Wei and Zhan Song Wei are equipped with shields, especially Zhan Song Wei is originally strong, so there are a lot of people who come over, plus their equipment is unified to Eleka is a combination of sword and shield, so a group of girls quickly combined into a defensive formation, and Qingfeng Wei quickly made up for the outer area and increased the defense in front of it.
Tang Dou also took out the talisman pen and drew several defensive runes in the air.
The ice arrow first lost part of the defensive rune, and the rest of the smashing on the shield array did not have much strength, plus the arrow made of ice, after it was smashed and shattered, it was an ice slag on the ground.
"The power of the arrow array is not great, but if it continues like this, we will suffer a lot!" Elika said loudly.
"Bao, Bajie, one, two, three, four, five, you follow me! Kill the arrows in the city, Elika, and you're in charge of the defenses! ”
Tang Dou took the initiative to break away from the shield array.
One, two, three, four, five are the five elf slave girls, of course their real names are not this, but for some inconvenient reasons, they refuse to say their real names, so Tang Dou simply spoofed these five girls with the same code name.
Originally, I wanted to use the method of agitation, but I didn't know that the five girls gladly accepted it.
So now one, two, three, four, five have become the "names" of the five girls. And the current identities of the five of them can be regarded as Tang Dou's personal guards. After all, the five sisters are all gold-level, the strongest one is the eldest sister, the second group is gold-ninth, and the weakest fifth sister is also gold-seventh. He is also good at the technique of combining, and with all his strength, it is possible to block an ordinary platinum level.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for the five of them to be a guard like Lin Xiao.
Sha Yunyue is basically staying in the Source of Life space now, and she doesn't need guards. Chihuo's character...... Forget it, get her a guard and fight alone.
So in the end, it was still hanging on Tang Dou's body, although Tang Dou didn't need much guards, but five more beautiful blood elf girls were quite eye-catching, wasn't it?
Tang Dou rushed to the front, Ah Bao followed behind with red fire, and the five elf girls were arranged in an impact formation, and seven people and one beast rushed towards the ice city at a fast speed.
The gate of the ice city quickly opened, and countless ice beasts and icemen rushed out of it.
It's all made of ice, and there are monsters of all kinds, including humanoids.
"Open it for me!" Tang Dou flipped his hand and unfolded the Sky Booming Bow, and the blood bow sword rack shot out without any charge.
The Blood Bow Sword in a fully charged state can kill the Emerald level with a single arrow, so even if there is no charge, it is not something that this group of moving ice slag can block.
The crimson dog roared into the herd of ice beasts, blasting up ice chips in the sky. However, more ice beasts and icemen continued to pour out of the city, which greatly meant that Tang Dou and them were drowned out with the tactics of the sea of people.
"My lord, let's deal with these ice beasts!" Ileka rushed up with the three guards and started a big battle with the ice beasts.
"Let's go, take out the bow and arrow phalanx first, and then go find the center that controls these ice beasts!" (To be continued.) )
