Chapter 775: Ice Steps
While taking a step forward, Zhang Yunfan secretly prayed in his heart, hoping not to encounter any unpredictable dangers.
Perhaps his prayers worked, and he climbed hundreds of steps without encountering the slightest danger, not even the slightest sign of the unusual, only the cold lingering.
It's surprisingly cold here, and for monks, the best way to resist the cold is to urge cultivation and protect their body, but now Zhang Yunfan's cultivation is all sealed in the Yuan Aperture, and if it is released, I am afraid that the pressure of disappearing will appear again.
In order to verify whether the pressure around him was still there, Zhang Yunfan opened a thin slit in the Yuan Aperture, and only then did a trace of vitality leak out, and the pressure followed.
Zhang Yunfan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly closed the Yuan Qi, and the unprecedented sense of oppression disappeared.
What has just happened is that the pressure has always been there, at least so far. Without the escort of cultivation, and in this unknown environment, Zhang Yunfan was inevitably apprehensive.
took out a purple fire pill and swallowed it, dispelling the chill, his body gradually warmed up, Zhang Yunfan gradually eased up, took a deep breath and continued to walk forward, not far away He was suddenly stunned, his eyes staring at a staircase not far above.
On the crystal-like steps stands a humanoid ice sculpture, standing upright in place, very realistic. Looking at this humanoid ice sculpture, Zhang Yunfan muttered in his heart, "Make an ice sculpture here, shouldn't it be to welcome guests?" Although he said this, he already had a trace of vigilance in his heart.
I've been in this closed secret realm for so long, and so far, I've encountered such a humanoid thing, and it's hard to guarantee that there is no mystery hidden in it.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Yunfan decided to pass here as soon as possible, so he quickened his pace, and when he came to the edge of the ice sculpture, he took a closer look, and it was this glance that frightened him to stop his steps.
There was actually a person hidden in the ice sculpture, but this person's death was extremely miserable, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the blurred flesh and blood were frozen by the ice, and the person's appearance before death was completely preserved.
stared at the dead man for a long time before Zhang Yunfan came back to his senses, and his gaze became extremely solemn......
I don't know how long the dead man in the ice sculpture has been dead, but judging from his body shape and miserable face, the other party should be a man, and the cause of death looks as if he has been cut by a thousand knives, and there is no piece of flesh on his body that is good.
"I'm just passing by, I don't want to disturb, don't blame!" Zhang Yunfan folded his hands and prayed secretly.
Originally, Zhang Yunfan wanted to find a place to dig a pit and bury the man in the ice sculpture, but after looking left and right, he didn't find a place to bury people, so he had to give up in the end.
"Don't blame it, you have seen this place, there is no place suitable for burying people, but there is a large green meadow under the mountain."
Zhang Yunfan said to himself, "Now I'm going to save people, don't pass by, if you pass by here when you come back, I will take you to the bottom of the mountain by the way, let you be buried in the ground, and I hope you can bless you a lot." ”
In this deserted environment, when you meet a person or a dead person, no matter who you are, you will feel unreliable, Zhang Yunfan is such a situation, so he has a lot of words for a dead person, just to get a little psychological comfort.
After explaining everything, Zhang Yunfan turned to look ahead, only took two steps, and suddenly there was a clicking sound behind him, in this weird and silent place, the sound came too abruptly, Zhang Yunfan's scalp was numb for a while, and the first thought in his heart was to deceive the corpse.
Slowly turned his head, looked at the ice sculpture again, glanced up and down and found nothing abnormal, Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but say: "My buddy, don't be so scared, it's not that I don't want to bury you, it's just that the situation is urgent now, and there are still people chasing and killing me in the back, so I really can't take care of you." ”
After explaining Zhang Yunfan turned around again, but at this moment, the click sound sounded again, Zhang Yunfan suddenly lost his temper, turned his head and was about to scold, but the moment he turned around, the whole person was completely stunned.
The ice sculpture that had been standing in place was swaying from side to side like a tumbler, and it looked like the one inside was struggling to get out and get some air.
This scene really scared Zhang Yunfan a lot, and just when he was full of vigilance and kept retreating backwards, the constantly shaking ice sculpture finally fell.
The ice sculpture fell backwards, slammed down the steps below, and then rolled down the steps, bumping and bumping along the way, making a crisp sound of ice edges crashing, and the sound faded away......
Watching the ice sculpture roll away, it wasn't until he plunged into the fog and disappeared Zhang Yunfan suddenly woke up, what happened just now made him very vigilant, he thought that the dead people in the ice sculpture were doing it, but now it seems that this is not the case.
After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't come up with a clue, but the incident just now infinitely magnified Zhang Yunfan's inner uneasiness, and always made him feel that something bad might happen!
"It's too coincidental, I don't fall down early, I don't fall down late, but I fell down when Lao Tzu passed by, it's really strange!" Zhang Yunfan kept muttering, puzzled.
At the same time, his eyes glanced at the ground, landing on the staircase where the ice sculpture had stood before, and there was a very clear pair of blood-colored footprints on the ground, deeply imprinted on the ice of the steps.
On the edge of the blood-colored footprints, there were also specks of blood and some minced flesh, all of which were frozen in the ice, which was particularly dazzling.
Looking at the bloody ruins on the ground that were frozen forever, Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but sigh, and was about to leave, when he suddenly found that a dark shadow was revealed in the crack in the ice.
The black and swarthy thing was sandwiched in the white ice like jade, which was extremely eye-catching, and Zhang Yunfan found it at a glance.
When he came closer, he squatted down and examined it carefully, and Zhang Yunfan immediately recognized this thing, it was a ring, exactly the same as the storage ring on his hand.
Zhang Yunfan took out the dagger, chiseled open the ice, and the black ring hidden inside revealed its original shape, and in the ring of this ring, there was also a flesh-colored severed finger, the cut of the severed finger was unusually smooth, and the blood stains were not very obvious, as if it had been cut off by some sharp weapon.
Picking up the ring with the severed finger, putting it in his hand and taking a closer look, Zhang Yunfan fell into deep thought......
It was already clear that the severed finger and the flesh on the ground were definitely the dead man who was frozen in the ice sculpture, but the whole thing, looking back now, seemed very strange.
The strange place is on the man, first of all, his death, he is standing upright in place, according to Zhang Yunfan's understanding, there are usually two situations that can cause this kind of death......
One is that he was killed instantly, and he didn't even have a chance to resist, just like when he met a master who was good at ice attribute exercises, the strength of the two sides was very different, and the other party was taken by surprise and cast an ice spell to freeze people to death in place.
Another situation is that when you meet a super master, the other party will kill the person as soon as she makes a move, and after the person dies, as long as there is no external force involved, you can keep it in its original state and stand in place, and the environment here is ice and snow, and it is not a problem to freeze people, but it will take a certain amount of time, but it will not be too long.
In these two cases, in Zhang Yunfan's opinion, the former is the most likely, because only someone who is good at ice attribute spells can so perfectly destroy a corpse and freeze it in place like a work of art.
The probability of the latter case is compared, because it is not difficult to cut a person to pieces, even mortals can do it, but to hack a person to death, under the impact of attack power, and make the person remain motionless and maintain the posture before death, not everyone can do it.
Just when Zhang Yunfan looked at the storage ring and was stunned, a whistling sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he felt a pain in his cheeks, reached out and touched it, and then brought his hand to his eyes to take a closer look, only to find that his fingers were stained with blood.
Zhang Yunfan was taken aback, stood up suddenly, looked into the air, his eyes suddenly froze, and a frightened expression bloomed in his eyes!
