Lin An and the others stood under the ice pillar. 「」

The woman sealed in the ice pillar looked at Lin An through the thin ice, her emerald green eyes were wide open, and she was full of fear and panic before death, as if she was thinking about Lin An's unwillingness to tell about death.

"The surface hardness of the icicles reaches 11.4 encores, which is the same as the average hardness of the Comol Blue Fei - in addition, the density is 6.9 doles, which is four times that of the same volume of crystal."

At the base of the long ice cube, Jacob poured some test solution on it, and at the same time clasped his fingers and chanted a few syllables, the test solution penetrated into the icicle and fused with the ice crystals, turning into a beautiful cold gem color.

An encore is a unit of measurement of the hardness of a gemstone exclusively for mages.

Joshua looked at the piece of ice that had turned blue into the test solution, and his fingers slowly brushed it, and his hands, which were wearing real gloves, felt the biting coldness on it.

"In nature, ice with such density and hardness is rare, but it is not uncommon."

"If you mean the 10,000-year-old ice buried deep in the ice field's crust, squeezed and compacted to the point that almost no one can collect," Jacob said with a frown, "and don't forget, this ice pillar has formed in the last few days. ”

"However, don't forget the energy environment here, the ice that could only be formed in tens of millions of years on the ice sheet, is completely conditioned to form in this energy environment." Joshua disagreed.

Sarina pulled out the off-hand weapon strapped to her calf and stabbed the dagger down, the dagger bounced off with a thud, leaving only an almost invisible white spot on the surface of the icicle.

She looked at the two men who were arguing about whether the icicles were formed by natural causes or human factors of the underground cold explosion, and said to Lin An, who was completely deaf to the voices of the two:

"Lena, aren't you going to join the discussion?"

This was a euphemistic attempt to persuade Lin An to ease the atmosphere. Sarina feels that in terms of involving the professional field. The creature of a mage is incomprehensible.

In Lin An's spirit, Titi was muttering happily, although the retention of soul power was incomplete under the energy radiation here, Titi was not a picky eater, and shared the feeling of eating delicious food with Lin An.

Because the energy here is very different from the normal environment, the guide zhì affects the retention time of the soul power, but Lin An still roughly deduced the approximate death time of this female archer based on Titi's feedback and the comparison of the soul power in the first two ice cubes.

"I'm not interested in what they're talking about. "Rather than asking if this icicle was a natural cold outbreak or man-made, I wondered if there was a way to detect and avoid it—"

Lin An replied. Then he raised his voice to Joshua and Jacob, "This archer's death should have been no more than a day, and I'm about seventy percent sure of that." ”

What Lin An didn't say was that the Ice Pillar seemed to have the effect of prolonging the retention time of soul power, this trait was somewhat similar to what Jacob said about Xuan Bing, of course, the preservation ability was much worse than the real Xuan Bing.

The ice is deep underground. Very difficult to unearth. There is very little circulation on the market, and the nature and function are rarely known, Lin An knows. It's because I once saw it by chance in the collection of the dream space.

Jacob's understanding of this is probably related to his ancestor Alabam I, who was buried with ice.

In general, Lin An is also more inclined to Jacob's statement, this icicle is more like an underground cold eruption.

There are many hidden ice crevasses on this mountain, some of which may even be connected to the depths of the earth, and the three participants who were frozen in ice probably happened to step through the thin layer of snow on the ice crevices, and the cold air erupted and leaked out, before they were sealed in the ice and formed icicles.

Of course, Joshua and Jacob couldn't have argued, but the topic of the argument was about the rest of the trip, so they were extra cautious. 「」

Lin An did not participate in the **, and Joshua and Jacob were unable to come up with a well-founded reason to convince each other for the time being, so they began to prepare to unwind the frozen body of the female archer.

-- The corpse is the most honest, and its state inevitably tells them a lot of truths that cannot be seen on the surface.

"Let's get rid of the body now, and don't we wait for Nicholas to come back?"

Hearing Lin An's voice, Sarina also reacted:

Nicholas was willing to take out the puppet worm, which showed that the trip to the next was very important, and if he did not participate in the inspection himself, I am afraid that he would also be very dissatisfied with the inaction of her, the only companion who remained here.

So Sarina also objected.

"This icicle is not as easy to unravel as it seems, and we don't have the corresponding antidote in our hands. By the time Spike and the others get back, maybe we haven't quite freed her yet. Jacob said.

Sarina remembered the dagger she had just had, and there was no objection.

"Since I'm going to stay here for a while, I'd better do some protection." Lin An thought about it, stood up and said.

The two male mages who had already begun to work looked up at her, nodded, and then regrouped together to discuss something in a low voice. 「」

……

"It's on!"

Sarina's voice came.

Lin An looked up and saw Joshua carefully adding a small translucent leaf to the crucible on a portable alchemy table on the ground.

On the purple-red liquid surface of the crucible, small patches of dark blue floated small patches, and small bubbles bubbled up one after another in the center of each spot, like countless dark blue pustules on the skin of a purple-red toad.

The bubbles continued to expand and contract, bursting one after another, and a light purple-red mist floated from them, which, guided by Joshua's spell, converged and drifted towards the icicles, connecting with the crucible into a thin mist.

When the cold icicle met those light purple-red mist, it was like pure iron encountering concentrated sulfuric acid, which quickly corroded and dissolved, turning into a faint light purple liquid and seeping into the snow.

If it weren't for Joshua's need to care about not hurting the surface of the corpse, the dissolution would have been quicker.

However, Joshua's temporary preparation of solvents is also rare and fast, and the composite protection array arranged by Lin An has just been completed, and he has already successfully configured the solvent, which shows that the foundation and practical experience are very rich and solid. 「」

Lin An looked up when he heard the sound, and just saw Jacob using his hand wearing real gloves to remove a piece of thin ice from the surface of the corpse.

At this time, there was no wind, and Lin An happened to be in the direction of the upwind port, but his keen nose still smelled a peculiar smell from the cold air.

Two lines of pale red blood fell from the corners of the female corpse's eyes, falling along her graceful curved face, and there were almost invisible pale black filaments in the blood, which fell to the ground with the dripping of blood.

Lin An suddenly had an alarm in his heart.

"Be careful!"

She only had time to warn her.

In an instant, a change happened!

The female corpse melts like a hot chocolate figure!

The red and black blood water fell to the ground, quickly seeped into the ground, and extended its tentacles to the four people like life, and the blood and water encountered in the snow were like black powder on fire, making a sound, and spreading straight towards the four people like a whip.

Things happened too fast at that moment, and Lin An's position was the farthest of the four, and before she could put her hand in her sleeve, the blood had already spread to her feet-

And in her spare eye, she saw a bright yellow ripple erupting from Jacob's waist, and Sarina whipped Joshua who was squatting on the ground, using him to stop the blood spreading to her!

Then Lin An only felt that something was quickly rushing out of her sleeve, and a piece of green light covered her in the center, spreading along the blood and water under her feet like conduction, dyeing Lin An's vision into a pure green.

In Lin An's last consciousness, the blood that was reflected in the dark green retracted as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and it retracted like an electric shock.

After that, Lin An's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

At the same time that she lost consciousness, a door of light appeared in front of her, and countless points of light flew and swirled, converging into a vortex and sucking her in.

Jacob and the other three who were in danger at the same time as her fainted or died, and no one saw this scene.

The wind blew, and the snow on the ground hid the last traces of it.

“…… Kronos, I didn't expect that more than a thousand years later, we would meet in this way......"

In the vast and empty space, a male voice with emotion sounded and spread to all directions, and the space naturally condensed into a regular fluctuation, as if the speaker was the master of the space, and every word had an impact on the space.

"I didn't expect to meet an old friend so early, Christian." Although the male voice that answered was calm, it still carried the majesty of a king that could not be ignored.

"You've changed a lot, Kronos. I didn't expect you to hide in the body of a little Terran girl like a rat who didn't dare to see the light, trying to blind us and sneak into the Tower of Babel-"

Christian's voice showed a slight coldness, and sneered: "More than a thousand years of sleep seem to have changed some of your deep-rooted thoughts, or is it the experience of betrayal, which made you completely let go of the dignity of the strong?" ”

Christian's voice laughed loudly, extremely cheerful,

"--A generation of demon kings has fallen to this point, maybe that half of your body should come and see it for yourself, he has been afraid and vigilant all his life because he usurped the throne that belongs to you, but the invincible Kronos, who made him would rather give up the army that fought for your demon clan at the forefront and closed the spatial passage, is long gone!"

"Humph! My twin brother, Krot, will always be so stupid, otherwise, how could you despicable human race be moved by your lust to betray me, make our holy clan's great cause fall short, and let me fall into a thousand years of sleep, how could our holy clan army be defeated to this point! This stupid sinner happens to be like-minded with you despicable villains! ”

"Success and defeat, merit and demerit only the victor is qualified to write - Kronos!"

The space vibrated violently, as if in response to the owner's excitement,

"You have been asleep for a thousand years, and our clan has also passed the lowest tide of the elemental tide, and the elemental tide has begun to return, and in another two thousand years, it will develop to its peak, our clan is prosperous, and the great cause of counterattacking the demon world is already expected, even if you wake up now, you can't stop the trend that can't be resisted!"
