Chapter Twenty-Six: The Extreme Cold Zone
A dozen ice trolls climb out of the mountain and race on skateboards two miles away. Each human body is covered with a layer of ice that is difficult to melt. Although not thick, it caused severe frostbite.
Zara stood in the middle of the ice trolls. The advance team made him frown slightly and asked, "What happened?"
One of the search centurions in the advance team stood up and said, "As an adult member of the Zanla Regiment, the ice system in the Ice Mist has very powerful energy. Even if a good troll warrior enters, they will freeze in less than 3 to 5 minutes. This iceberg area is completely covered in ice fog. We must wait for the ice fog to dissipate before we can enter. ”
Sara looked up, Sen's eyes were cold as he stared at the iceberg. Now, more than a dozen miles were covered in blue ice fog, so he couldn't make out what was inside.
"The Corps has grown up. "This is another search centurion who is gliding. "There are signs that armored vehicles passed near the iceberg. “
"Is it the Snow family?"
"Not ruled out, but unlikely. The tracks of armored vehicles were suspected of being an alien race, suitable for advancing on relatively backward land and mountainous areas. A hundred years ago, the snowmen improved the track mechanism and adopted a more efficient and lightweight track structure. ”
Sara decided to investigate the iceberg herself. As a result, as soon as she stepped into the iceberg, the energy attributes of yin and ice, like maggots on the tarsal bones, immediately covered her body and eroded her body. Zara uses the unique skills of the Frost Giant Inferno to create a thick layer of ice on the surface of her body to protect her body from harm.
There is no effect.
The ice energy contained in the blue ice mist and white ice mist is like a poison needle thinner than a cow's hair, penetrating the ice layer and acting directly on the body.
Life continues to decline.
Zarathustra held out for a while with strong and self-confidence, but it was pointless. All the fields were covered with ice and fog. General vision is greatly affected, and thermal vision is useless. This environment is not conducive to investigations. Stay for half an hour and get nothing but exit the iceberg.
The ice fog is gradually dissipating.
The frost trolls had no choice but to wait patiently.
Zanla gave the order: "Keep up!" The investigation of the anomaly was temporarily abandoned, but the investigation of the treasure could not be postponed, "Dig through the ice on the ground immediately and find the location of the treasure house!"
"Yes!"
......
The icy world is magnificent, magnificent, dark and deep!
Dozens of mercenaries walked for more than an hour.
The first ice ladder extends within a hollow cylinder into the bottomless darkness. The magic torch burned faintly. The crisp sound of combat boots stepping on the ice is the only sound in the mysterious world.
Walk for another hour.
The cold, dark world is almost insane. Its depth is increasing, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. There was a large amount of ice powder floating in the air that was visible to the naked eye. At this time, the ambient temperature is much lower than at night in the ice field, and people's hands and feet are numb, affected by frost, and their activities are affected to a certain extent.
Chen Tingting and Qin Xiaoshi put on several sets of snow bear fur coats, but they still couldn't feel warm, and could only warm their little hands with torches from time to time.
"Ah, what's that!"
Du Rongrong screamed in fright.
Lei Ming asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Rongrong pointed to the ice wall and said, "There's something in there!"
The crowd cast skeptical glances. Some people shine torches on the ice wall. The ice wall is three feet thick and almost completely transparent. In the firelight, it was deep blue, like a large piece of flawless and pure beautiful jade.
Du Rongrong scratched his head: "No, I saw it clearly!"
Huang Tian said to the priest, "Use lighting magic!"
The priests, including Lin Caiyan, all cast light-based F-rank spells [Light], which basically have no attack effect, but have a certain deterrent effect on dark and undead monsters. It is ideal for lighting in dark environments.
Four glowing balls of energy, rising from the steps, each illuminating a 20-meter radius. Lin Caiyan has the highest spirit. The ball of light can illuminate a range of 40 meters. The whole work is presented to us with absolute clarity.
They didn't see anything, they just thought it was a false alarm.
A large black shadow swept across the ice wall.
"Hey?!"
The crowd clasped their arms.
The bereaved dog frowned and said, "What really is the matter!"
Zhang Tong recognized the shape of the shadow, nodded and said, "A fish!"
The fat man was surprised: "Can fish survive in ice?"
"Our current location is about 300-400 meters of surface ice, with an average thickness of 200 meters," Long said. Obviously, we have passed through a thick layer of ice. If we cut through the ice, the icy sea water will completely submerge it in an instant. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable
How can you go so far?
If the ice wall is broken at this point, even if you have the ability to reach heaven, you will only die!
However, the ice walls are as hard as iron and have a thickness of 10 to 20 meters. Unless the ice wall is hit by a huge external force, there is no need to worry about being submerged by the sea.
Everyone goes on.
About another hour of walking.
"Now the depth is 600-700 meters below the surface ice!" Zhang Tong's teeth were shivering, and his fingers were already frozen. "Finally... It's over!"
At the end of this spiral ice ladder, the mercenaries enter an underground ice cave. The football field is huge, with many icicles and different shapes, like a cave.
There are ice pools of different sizes on the ground, about 14 or 15, filled with a kind of blue sparkling water.
[Low Chilled Water], an E-class material, is a miraculous mineral water that retains its water form at ultra-low temperatures of minus 100 degrees Celsius.
"It's a good material. I've seen it in the library. Leng Yun said in a low voice, "Drinking the right amount of cold water can effectively treat fire-related injuries. In addition, this water is widely used in gold smelting and forging, which has the effect of maintaining stability and increasing the success rate. ”
This water is not ordinary water, it is an alchemical material.
A dozen swimming pools.
It's worth at least a few million gold!
There are no containers, only watches, which cannot be taken away.
Several unreliable mercenaries came in and were immediately frozen, and their palms turned into popsicles.
"What a pity!"
The mercenaries are very sorry.
If he could freeze the water, he would make a lot of money even if Zhang Tong sold it in batches to a mysterious businessman. This material can only be produced in extremely cold environments. It is a good medicine for the treatment of fire protection system and the reduction of fire protection system damage. Mysterious merchants buy it in large quantities and then resell it in extremely hot areas. Its value will multiply several times in no time!
In addition, the use of chilled water in gold smelting and forging can increase the success rate and improve the quality to a certain extent.
The more widely this material is used, the better it will sell!
More than a dozen pools of chilled water.
Who knows how many bottles it can hold, a conservative estimate is more than 2 million gold coins!
If placed in other areas, especially in the field of hot lava, the value will triple .
One of the mercenaries asked, "Is this a treasure?"
"No, while it's valuable, it's not a treasure." Long Hao replied, "It's just a naturally formed magical material in the environment. ”
Lei Ming couldn't help but sigh, "Without entering the treasure, there was an amazing discovery." The trip was worth it!"
Lin Caiyan, who was wrapped in thick snow, said outside, "Let's go... Let's go. It's too cold here. Stay for another second and you'll freeze. ”
Most likely affected by frozen pools, combined with a depth of 700 meters, the temperature here is extremely low.
With each breath, the ejected ice mist has an extremely fine white powder that can also be found in the surrounding environment. It's light and thin, like a snowflake. In fact, instead of snowflakes, it is carbon dioxide that turns solid at extremely low temperatures, which is known as dry ice.
You have to endure pain every time you inhale!
If it turns into a human construct of the Earth, let alone a treasure hunt, the lungs will get frostbite in less than 5 minutes of standing time.
Mercenaries prepare some potions, scrolls, or magic items in advance to temporarily increase the resistance of the ice. Whenever they feel like they can't support themselves, they immediately use these items to relieve their stress. This place is not meant to stay for a long time, so find the treasure as soon as possible!
Dozens of mercenaries groped under the dark ice.
Outside of the frozen pool, several ice crystals and ice illusion crystals were found outside the mercenaries, all of which were precious materials of about level 2-4!
Because it was wrapped in thick ice and was not easy to collect, we gave up digging for the time being.
"Find a door!"
The mercenaries searched everywhere and found a frozen metal door.
Metal doors made of silver alloy and ice are very different in color, so they are easy to find. When the mercenaries break the outer ice, they also blast the metal door with flames, melting the ice in the crack of the door.
This door is more like it was made by goblins. It is very precise and meticulous. It's full of technology. There is no need to brute-force crack it. A famous thief in China learned "Super Unlock". After several attempts, the door was opened, and a stream of icy water poured in the moment it opened. In this environment, if you get wet with water, there will definitely be no good results. The crowd quickly dodged away. When the aqueduct water is almost about to flow in, a narrow waterway appears in view.
Zhang Tong looked down the passage. This channel is like a thin crystal tube and looks very fragile. It stretches from underground space into an endless sea of dark ice. At the end of the passage, there was a faint light, but it couldn't see what it was.
"The water didn't run out. “
"Walk on the ice floes and try not to get wet. “
Dozens of mercenaries began to move, all into the crystal pipe, the surrounding is pitch black, the crystal pipe is quite thin, if there is a breakage, dozens of people will suddenly be submerged in ice water, buried forever in the endless dark and cold ice world.
There are shadows shaking around from time to time.
Big fish or monsters in the icy sea world are looking around for food.
Dozens of people were very careful and did not dare to light torches for fear of annoying the mysterious creatures.
It is impossible to move forward in such an environment without getting wet. In fact, within ten minutes of going out, most people are already semi-wet and shivering.
"Wait a few minutes, the front will be there!"
The glittering exit is getting closer and closer.
The mercenaries fantasized about the endless treasure of the Ice King, and couldn't help but ignore **, and everyone picked up their speed and moved on.
The exit is just around the corner.
