Chapter 140: Action (10)
By the time they got to the edge of the frozen lake, it had been more than an hour.
By this time, it was getting dark. It's not far away from night. The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker.
He and Victoria stood on the edge of the lake, and if they took one more step forward, they would step into the lake, but they were afraid to step in.
"I never thought that this place was not much on the map, it turned out to be so huge..."Xiu's voice became smaller.
"Haven't you been here?" Victoria's eyes widened.
"No, I've been... But at that time, the lake was not that big..."Xiu looked at the huge frozen lake, a little overwhelmed, "We were here during an assessment. At that time, although the weather was getting cooler, the lake had not yet frozen, and the place where we used to be was at least 100 meters away from the shore of the lake... I don't know the water of the lake anymore. Xiu crouched down and grabbed a handful of white crushed ice.
The surface of the lake is not covered in a thick layer of ice as Xiu imagined... Or rather, the surface of the lake was not frozen into a large block of ice as Xiu had imagined.
The ice of this lake is broken. The surface of the lake in front of it was like a mass of spider silk stirred together, covered with dense white broken ice and shattered cracks. There was very little snow that should have been piled up.
"But why is there so little snow here, it's thick everywhere." Xiu said puzzled.
"The water of the lake has also changed... Victoria's face suddenly turned ugly. It's not just her, it's Xiu too.
Isn't it strange why there is no snow here? Because the answer has already been revealed.
At their feet, a tiny crack began to creep silently. Or maybe maybe a distant crack spilled to their feet.
It was unclear how it was, but by the time they noticed, a distant crack had spread from the far reaches of their eyes.
Xiu saw that the entire lake seemed to shake, and the huge lake ice suddenly split in two!
A distinctly cracking sound came into his ears clearly, and it seemed to come from the edge of the sky, and it seemed to come from the edge of his eyes to the edge of the sky.
The sound was not violent, not harsh, but it was clearly heard in the sky!
Victoria's eyes subconsciously grew and looked at the lake with horror on her face.
After Hu Bing broke down, it was not so simple, because the ice was so huge that even a casual movement would cause enough movement to shake the mountain.
The rushing waves of water rushed up from the cracks and flew high into the sky under the squeezing of the plates, forming a huge wave, but before the waves could hit the ground, they were frozen into ice and crackled all over the cracks.
The crack was just covered up.
But if someone steps on it, it will definitely fall. Because this thing is more fragile than snow.
"Xiu, what should we do now?" Victoria looked at Xiu for help.
"You're sure you're not going to arrest me, are you?" Xiu suddenly asked.
Victoria was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the Order to answer like this.
Hasn't he trusted me yet...
Victoria suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She was aggrieved and wanted to find something to vent, but she couldn't say what she wanted to find and how to vent.
"I said I wouldn't arrest you, and I wouldn't let them arrest you. You don't have to worry I'll go back. Her voice became a little cold, and the change made Victoria herself feel abrupt.
"I'm just sure. Because as long as I am sure, I can use the fastest and safest method..."Xiu fumbled in the small cloth bag around his waist and pulled out a beacon.
Unlike the other beacons, this one is painted bright red, and that touch of red looks very harsh.
He pulled away to attract trust, and a terrible scream pierced the sky, and the fiery red and dazzling fireworks exploded violently in the sky, and the thunderous sound could be clearly heard even from dozens of kilometers away, and the bright colors could be seen even from a distance. Because this is a special beacon made for emergency warning!
"Anyone who sees this beacon must gather, andβ" Xiu looked at Victoria, "This is also the beacon for our 10th training camp students to ask the instructor for help!" Xiu looked at the fireworks in the sky that gradually dissipated and said, "This is also how I saved your companions." β
Victoria muttered speechless.
But in the end she lowered her head.
Isn't it just hungry? It's okay.
"Let's go inside." Xiu said suddenly.
"Shall we go in again?" Victoria said puzzled.
"The instructors didn't come that quickly. We are also here to find your companions as soon as possible. Xiu took the lead and stepped on the side of the crack, "Actually, I'm quite worried about them... Attention, follow the big crack just now. The crack does not crack again for a short time after it is opened, so the crack itself is dangerous, but both sides are safe. β
After Xiu took two steps to confirm that there was no problem, he simply ran.
β... It doesn't look like he cares that much. Victoria followed closely, thinking to herself.
Island Shu, in the middle of the lake, also thought about hiding here. Because this place is really too safe, there is no way for unfamiliar people to get close to it, as long as he stays comfortably on the island in the middle of the lake for a while, he can get through the time with peace of mind.
But he didn't choose this place.
Because he can see that it is safe here, and others can see it. Then he would have felt that there must be someone hiding here.
A place that everyone knows is definitely not a good place. So later, Xiu still chose the cliff.
"You say, is it possible that they have already arrived at the island in the middle of the lake?" Xiu asked, pointing to the island in the middle of the lake.
"I don't know... But we can't go wrong with getting there early. "Victoria picked up the pace.
"But I didn't see a single figure on the lake." Xiu couldn't help but feel a little strange, "It stands to reason that they should already be here." β
"They're never going to have an accident anyway, maybe they haven't made it to the end yet?" Victoria has lost her mind.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xiu didn't look back and threw down such a sentence directly.
Victoria was silent.
It's really not possible, because too long has passed.
Long enough for people on both sides to get here. It's just that on the one hand, it's to save a person who isn't there at all, and on the other hand, it's to save a group of people who rushed here.
However, Xiu didn't see even the slightest trace of the Valkyrie pairs here.
