Chapter 059: King Ye Arrives
At night, the ice field is covered with snow in the moonlight, dispelling the darkness, and the thick ink of the sky contrasts with the gray and white of the earth, like an oil painting with clear colors and sharp boundaries.
It was so quiet that only the wind whistled by, and a faint clatter could be heard from far and near, as if someone was running fast on the ice.
The sound of horses sounded suddenly, especially loud and abrupt in this quiet night.
The horse froze, as if there was some danger ahead, and kept wandering in place, and his emotions began to become agitated, and he kept snorting.
Breaking into this night, there was a team of people, a total of six horses and six people, on the leading inky black war horse, the man with a condensed face raised his hand slightly, signaling the people behind him to be restless, and then turned his head and said lightly, "Phantom." β
One of the men beside him seemed to have received some order, and he answered it, and his body soared lightly, stepping lightly on the horse's back, and he swept forward like a bird spreading its wings, and his steps were on the ice as if he were trampling on the void.
But the person who tramples on it feels it.
Feeling that there seemed to be a slight sound under the ice, Qianqian Fantasy stopped, stood on the top, reached out and took out the fire fold to blow it, and then squatted down and shone on the ice below.
The faint light of the fire could only find a little square inch, but it could not be seen clearly.
He took out another tube similar to a fire breaker, lit it on the fire, and suddenly the flame that was originally burning with faint light was like a firework suddenly exploding, and a white bright light appeared, although it was only a small lump, but it was a little dazzling, but at the same time, it was also more convenient to see the situation on the ice clearly.
After repeatedly changing several places to observe, he flew back, withdrew the things in his hand, and frowned slightly, "Lord Wang, there is an abnormality in the ice in front of you, and there are many cracks on the ice ground, and now it is preliminarily estimated that the range is about ten miles away." However, it is no problem to pass according to the weight of people and horses, but the horses are hesitant to move forward, and there may be other reasons. β
Shangguan Ye frowned and looked up at the vast expanse of white.
A strong man behind him also heard the words of a thousand illusions, and couldn't help but speak, "Maybe it's just that these horses are making too much fuss, why don't I wait and lead them?" β
It's not that he's in a hurry, it's just that Shangguan Ye got things done here earlier, so he can help them sooner, and now that the Ten Thousand Beasts Country is in turmoil, they are anxious, but they have no clue, and they can only rely on this outsider for the time being.
It's a pity that this person is not easy to control, and his temper is not easy to deal with, so they can only endure and accommodate him, and they can only agree to him to leave when they know that the country of ten thousand beasts is in danger at any time, instead of forcing him to find a way, even if they take off their dignity and pray, they don't dare to exert power, because they all understand that this man must not be offended, maybe it comes from the intuition of the beast.
Shangguan Ye didn't pay attention to them, but just said lightly, "Rest first, and then hurry tomorrow morning to find out." As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and walked forward on his own.
Thousands of illusions reached out to lead the ink flame whose emotions were slowly easing.
Remnant Yang also turned over and dismounted, led his horse and the horse of a thousand illusions with him to the other side, found a place to start camping, and lit a bonfire.
The other three people from the Ten Thousand Beast Kingdom who followed, looking at the few people who had been doing things since ancient times, even if they were indignant in their hearts, they could only shut up and set up camp together, now they have no right to speak, Shangguan Ye allowed them to follow is already hard-won, they don't dare to offend him.
Shangguan Ye stood on the snow slope, and in addition to the cold smell in the air, there were vaguely other smells.
He wrinkled his nose, as if the smell was only showing up here, because the smell was interfering with the horse?
The tiptoes swept a little above the ice, did the people in the ice field talk about it last time in Yanguo, it seems that the road they walked is exactly where the ground is split.
The knife at his waist also seemed to have a slight restlessness.
He couldn't help but reach out and hold the hilt of the knife, but his brow furrowed, and he looked thoughtfully at the ice on the ground.
He sniffed deeply in the air again, his eyebrows slowly loosened, and he finally remembered what it was, it was the smell of blood, and the smell of killing.
After years of self-cultivation and recuperation, he was out of the battlefield, and he didn't distinguish it for a while.
His knives are spiritual, bloodthirsty, and extremely sensitive to both the smell of blood and killing.
But this place ......
The smell of blood and killing that can still remain after the ice and snow cold wind howls and purifies it, how strong it must be.
But there were no people at all in this hundred miles, and there were hardly any creatures to be seen, except if they were buried under the ice.
But under the ice, it seems to be water......
He has always been a man of action, and he can't think about it, so he naturally verifies it with action.
Neatly pulled out the knife at his waist and quickly cut into the ice.
As soon as the knife touched the ice, it sank like cutting tofu.
Shangguan Ye could clearly feel that the knife seemed to be even more excited after entering the ice, and in the center of the blade that was exposed, the red lines began to appear, as if the blood had been extracted and a full meal had been eaten.
"Don't come here!" Shangguan Ye's eyes sank, and he shouted at the remnant sun who came over, and the sound was so loud that the others were also startled.
Remnant Yang hurriedly stopped, but saw that the prince turned his wrist, held the knife and provoked it upward, and flew back.
A large block of ice flew up with the debris, and the water droplets smashed heavily on the ice, and there was a clattering sound.
A large ice cave about seven or eight feet long and wide appeared in the broken ice field, and the sound of the rushing water was obvious and crisp, which was even more abrupt at night.
The rest of the people all came over, but they didn't step forward, they were all standing next to Remnant Yang, not understanding what was going on with Shangguan Ye.
Shangguan Ye just stared at the ice cave, the sound of the water was very intense, it seemed that something was constantly slapping at someone, splashing strings of splashes, if it was in the daytime, he would definitely be able to clearly see that the water droplets splashed on the ice were almost all dyed red.
But even if they couldn't see it, they soon could clearly smell the much thicker smell of blood in the air.
Just when he was surprised, Shangguan Ye shouted again, "Three meters back." He also flew away, and the remnant sun and the thousand illusions were directly executed and retreated three meters back.
The other three were slightly sluggish, but soon heard the sound of clattering ice cracking, and there seemed to be a slight vibration under their feet, and suddenly a spirit quickly turned around and ran, even if there was nothing under the water, it would definitely not be much better to fall into the glacier in this ice and snow.
At the same time, the ice cave that Shangguan Ye had made out seemed to have something black hitting the ice surface, and those ice surfaces that were not too thick were constantly being knocked out of one corner after another.
They could see that something underwater seemed to be consciously expanding the hole.
"What's that? Water lions? Or an ice bear? With such a strong impact, watching the ice fragments continue to fly out, Remnant Yang asked with some curiosity.
Originally, he was just asking, sighing and curious, and didn't want his prince to really answer him.
"It's fish." Shangguan Ye looked at the entrance of the cave without squinting, and spoke lightly, his voice was still condensed, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.
The few people who heard it were stunned for a moment.
Remnant Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "Fish?!" "Such a strong effort, and although I only saw a black shadow, it was obviously not small, this is a fish? What fish? Tiger shark? Just kidding, how can there be such a thing in an ice field?
"Phantom." Shangguan Ye ignored the fuss and shouting Remnant Yang and glanced at Phantom.
Phantom nodded, took out a copper plate and stuck it on his wrist, and he didn't know what he did, and then shot hard towards the hole, his fingers flying, as if he was grasping some rope, and pulled hard.
Suddenly, an arm-length and thigh-sized object about an adult was dragged out, like a fish being hoisted into the air, still writhing violently, but was soon thrown to the ground in the distance.
The tail slapped hard against the snow and made a snapping sound, and it made a Caracalla sound that sounded like gnashing of teeth.
A few people leaned over, and finally saw this thing clearly, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes and gasp.
This thing was clearly a fish, but this species had never been seen before, and to their surprise, the mouths of the two palm-sized fish were obviously slanted outward, and the teeth like small daggers were lined with silver shining on the ice, obviously extremely sharp, and on the teeth, there were similar flesh threads, and there were blood stains.
The eyes are blood-red, and they look fierce and hideous, and the fins on their bodies are almost like steel needles.
Is this really a fish, even the most ferocious and ferocious tiger shark in their impression is not so terrifying, this is simply a murder weapon.
"This ice field, it seems that it really can't be underestimated, this fish alone is amazing, if you come to a water battle, it is estimated to be invincible." Remnant Yang touched his chin and sighed.
"Lord Wang, but you are suspicious of the animals of the Ten Thousand Beast Country?" Qianbaihuan's expression was relatively calm, looking at the red pupils of the fish, in the time of recording the observation diary, he observed those animals with him, recording their changes, the first time he saw the eyes of the fish, his first thought was those animals that had changed, the same bloodshot red eyes.
Hearing the Ten Thousand Beast Country, the three Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly looked at Shangguan Ye.
Shangguan Ye nodded, there was still no change on his face, it seemed that these things were irrelevant, but if he looked deeper, he might be able to find that a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
It seems that not only the animals of the Ten Thousand Beast Country, but also the ice fields, although the products of change are different, they are very different.
Just think about it and you'll see some clues.
Where natural disasters have occurred so far, the Plains of Ten Thousand Beasts is known for its ten thousand beasts, and most of the animals in the places where disasters have occurred have undergone abnormal changes.
The ice field, compared to the land of water, is dominated by sea creatures, and this is the land of ice cracking, that is, the place where the accident also occurred, and the creatures below may also have mutations.
He vaguely had a guess, perhaps, the collapse of mountains, the collapse of glaciers, and the mutation of animals, it should be reversed, and the animal mutation caused these accidents.
The reason why it has not happened in other places is probably because the animals or the conditions of composition are not as good as those of the ice field and the beasts, and it should be said that the two influence each other.
ββββββββToday is a little more forward, tomorrow is Sunday, plus a watch, the time is uncertain.
