Volume 3 Snow Mountain Ice Palace Chapter 268 Frozen Samurai
No one answered Chu Mingyu, and several people remained silent.
Until Chu Mingyu looked at this and that, and shouted, "Why don't you speak? What do you mean?"
Senior Sister Yu couldn't help but speak first: "I think what they mean is that these snow wolves, as well as those snow mountain poisonous snakes, are all deliberately frozen here by the master of the underground palace to take care of the underground palace!"
"Huh?" Chu Mingyu looked confused, "How is this possible? These things are already frozen here, how can they help guard the underground palace?" Could it be ...... It's just here to scare people?"
"Who dares to enter the tomb of the underground palace, which one will be so timid to be frightened by a few frozen snow wolves?" Chen Xiaopang sneered and said, "But don't forget, this underground palace is the Snow God Palace, and the owner of the underground palace is the Snow Goddess!"
"So what?" Chu Mingyu still didn't understand.
Chen Xiaopang didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, but Senior Sister Yu still spoke: "Since she is the goddess of snow, then she ...... Maybe some spells can be used, and when someone enters the dungeon, let these snow wolves and poisonous snakes all wake up! Didn't Brother Bai mention before, since this ice and snow can't use the mechanism, it is likely that there will be some witchcraft and evil magic to take care of the dungeon, so ...... I think that's what they mean!"
Chu Mingyu was dumbfounded, and after a long time, Fang muttered again: "Demon magic? It's like...... Those ...... in the tomb of Wang Jiutang Dead or alive?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the terrible dead and alive people in Wang Jiutang's tomb.
"Then let's keep walking while these snow wolves and poisonous snakes haven't woken up yet!" said Iron Bull, leading the way to the other doorway on the left.
Although the others were chilled, no one, including Chu Mingyu, wanted to quit at this time, so they could only continue to move forward one by one.
Inside the doorway was a quadrangular passage, and dozens or hundreds of transparent snakes were still frozen on the ice walls on both sides of the passage.
A few people ignored the transparent snakes, but quickened their steps through the passage into another space.
The Iron Bull and Poplar, who were walking in front, turned their heads and glanced around with the lamp on their heads.
Both of them couldn't help but exclaim "ah" and took a step back at the same time.
The people walking behind were taken aback, and they all stopped, and involuntarily clenched their weapons.
"What's wrong?" asked Ding Lingling, who was following closely behind Bai Yang.
"I see it...... That costume samurai!"
Poplar replied, taking a breath, and re-projecting the pillar of light above his head onto the figure he had just seen.
It was indeed a samurai in costume, dressed exactly like the samurai in costume who had fought with Poplar several times before.
The same leather armor is also covered with a black mask over the face, revealing only the nostrils, mouth, and chin.
However, this is not the samurai, because the samurai is alive, and the samurai in front of him is not only standing still, but also shining slightly under the light pillar all over his body, and it is obvious that he is also wrapped in a layer of ice.
"It's okay, it's just a frozen samurai!" Poplar said.
Iron Bull also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look around, and soon found that there was not just one frozen warrior in this space, but two.
Moreover, the two samurai were dressed almost identically, not really like real samurai, but two sculptures made of the same mold.
Poplar boldly approached one of the warriors, and looked at it carefully.
Although the samurai was tightly wrapped, based on his exposed mouth and chin, Poplar could be sure that this was definitely not a sculpture, but a real human body.
"What's going on......, Lao Bai? There is more than one costume warrior?" Chu Mingyu asked, trembling slightly.
She has seen the power of the costume warrior with her own eyes, and she can't even deal with one of them, if the two in front of her are resurrected at any time, then can they still have a chance to live?
"I don't know how, but ......"
A thought suddenly welled up in Bai Yang's heart, he became more and more convinced that those snow wolves, as well as these two ancient costume warriors, would never be frozen here for no reason, eighty or ninety percent of this is the snow goddess's witchcraft.
If they were smarter, they should have chopped off the ice heads of these warriors before they were awakened by the Snow Goddess, so that they could not be resurrected.
But if these people can really be resurrected, but they cut off people's heads in advance, isn't it a bit too cruel? Who can do this?
Poplar hesitated, and was about to sink his heart, when he suddenly heard a sneer of "hey" in front of him.
The laughter was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, especially in this cold and bone-eating ice palace, the laughter was particularly hairy.
"Who is it?"
Poplar screamed, and at the same time projected the lamppost above his head to the place where the laughter came.
There was another doorway, but there was no one to be seen.
"Let's chase after him, no matter who he is, as long as we catch him, we can find Hongxing!" said Tie Niu, and rushed into the doorway.
Poplar immediately followed.
There is a quadrangular passage there, and on the ice walls on both sides of the passage, there are also many transparent snakes.
However, Bai Yang and the others didn't care about that, and just rushed forward along the passage.
Soon they entered another space, but several people couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Because in that space, there were no other furnishings, just leaning against the four ice walls, squatting or standing, lying or walking, there were more than twenty white snow wolves.
"What's the matter, how did we come back?" Chu Mingyu exclaimed.
"It's impossible to walk back, this should be another room that is exactly the same!" Ding Lingling said, looking up at the top of her head, and then at the surroundings.
"Since it's impossible to walk back, let's keep walking!" Iron Bull couldn't help but say, and walked towards the next doorway.
He also passed through an ice tunnel and entered the next dimension.
There was nothing else in the space, except for two frozen samurai in ancient costumes, one on the left and one on the right.
"This, this, this...... Sister Lingling also said that it was impossible to walk back, but what happened to these two samurai......? There weren't just two Frozen Warriors, but four?" Chu Mingyu asked in surprise.
Ding Lingling couldn't answer, and was about to take a closer look, but Tie Niu had already relentlessly entered the next passage.
A few people could only follow closely behind, passing through the passage into the next space.
There were no frozen warriors in that space, but there were more than two dozen frozen snow wolves of different shapes.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on, how do we feel like we've entered a labyrinth?" Chu Mingyu called out again.
Everyone felt the same way she did.
Chen Xiaopang turned his head to look around, and said, "The doorway is on the left! And in every room we enter, the next doorway is on the left, so ...... We can be sure that we are indeed turning in circles, and this room may be the first room we entered!"
"That's not right!" Senior Sister Liu shouted, "The first room we entered, obviously there was no snow wolf, only some ice sculpture furniture, if we want to turn in a circle, we should go to that room first, right?" But I remember that there is only one doorway in that room, and it is impossible to return to that room from the other direction!"
Chen Xiaopang didn't answer immediately, but squatted down to take a closer look on the ground.
Ding Lingling quickly understood what he was looking for, and squatted down to find it.
The others were inexplicable, just as you were looking at me and I was looking at you, Ding Lingling shouted: "Look, there are some white marks here, which should be the traces left by the little fat brother's fine steel shovel!"
Bai Yang and the others immediately took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a faint white mark on Ding Lingling's finger.
It turned out that Chen Xiaopang usually carried his fine steel shovel in his hand, and when he stopped, he would naturally hold the shovel on the ground.
If it is a stone brick floor, it will naturally not leave any traces, but there is a thin layer of ice on the ground, and the heavy and sharp shovel tip can easily leave a white shovel mark.
Chen Xiaopang stood up and sighed, and said, "This proves that we have indeed entered this room before! I estimate that this ice palace is a labyrinth, two of which contain more than twenty frozen snow wolves, and two of which have two frozen warriors. These four rooms formed a circle, and before we knew it, we had bypassed the first room with a crack and entered the room with the snow wolf and the frozen samurai, and it would be difficult to go back to the room with the crack!"
"But we walked all the way and didn't find any forks in the road, how could we go around the first room and go directly to this room with snow wolves?" Chu Mingyu questioned.
"Maybe there is a fork in the road, but the ice light reflects all the way, so we don't notice!" Chen Xiaopang said.
"Then what now, if we are really just going around in circles, let alone saving Hongxing, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to get out ourselves!" Chu Mingyu said, his eyes naturally looking at Bai Yang.
Everyone else also looked at Poplar, Poplar took a breath, calmed himself down, and said: "Even if it is a labyrinth, there will definitely be a way out, as long as you find this way out, you will naturally be able to find the core location of the Ice Palace and see the so-called Snow Goddess!"
"Then what are we going to do to find a way out?" Iron Bull asked again. Because of his feelings, the longer the time was delayed, the more anxious he became.
Bai Yang frowned and thought hard, and before he could come up with a way, Senior Sister Liu suddenly let out an exclamation, and jumped nervously to Senior Sister Yu's side.
"What's wrong?" Senior Sister Yu immediately asked her.
"Just ...... I see...... There is a snow wolf...... Moved!" Senior Sister Liu stammered.
Everyone was taken aback, and naturally projected the pillar of light on their heads to the two dozen frozen snow wolves of different shapes on the ground.
