Chapter 70: The Frozen Prison
When the wind whistled again, the sound was obviously different from before, sounding like a wind chime being blown out of time, and there was a special melody in the pleasant ear, which did not seem chaotic.
The slate was not lifted by the strong wind pressure, under the impact of the cold wind, the entire sarcophagus began to bloom with a burst of light blue light, and dense magic runes appeared on the surface of the sarcophagus, forming six magic arrays of different sizes, and the breath of Isis on the bramble flower badge became more and more intense!
Perhaps because the slate was covered, the cold wind was unusually persistent.
Under the effect of the magic array, the Thorn Flower Emblem began to emit a strange halo, rippling in all directions like ripples, and the entire three floors of the basement were filled with this halo, and even the walls began to appear many blurry murals!
Boom Boom Boom ......
Just when the halo of the badge reached its extreme, the ground suddenly trembled violently, so violently that it seemed to tear the entire ancient mansion apart, if it wasn't for the landslide, then the structure of this mechanism must be unimaginably huge!
Of course, the construction materials of the ancient house above must be very special.
This tremor lasted enough to sustain eight heartbeats, and when the shaking ended, there was already a boxy passage on the wall behind the sarcophagus, and at this time, the movement of the sarcophagus had stopped, and the space returned to its previous dimness, leaving only the torch in the Chu singer still burning.
At this moment, the Thorn Flower Badge suddenly made a clicking sound, and it was ejected from the dent, and fell to the ground with a clang.
Chu Ge went over and picked up the badge, retracted the storage space, and came to the mysterious passage.
The passage was not narrow, but it could be passed by four people at the same time, and when it looked inside, it seemed to be an arc-shaped secret passage, with a faint light in it.
As soon as he stepped into it with one foot, Noah's prompt suddenly sounded:
"Hint: The host has successfully explored the special map [Frozen Prison]!"
"Warning: When the host steps into the Frozen Prison, the location of the host is the outermost layer of the Frozen Prison, and will be continuously affected by the [Ice Aura {Lv1}], according to the host's own constitution and elemental affinity, the host will deduct 0.3% of maximum health per minute, reduce movement speed by 1%, and reduce attack speed by 1%!"
"Warning: As the host delves deeper into the Frozen Prison, the influence of the [Ice Aura] energy will be further increased, and the speed at which health points will be deducted will also be accelerated!"
"Warning: This Ice Aura has a high priority! None of the Rank 5 or lower can be immune to/reduce the effects of Ice Power by normal means! ”
Suddenly, an extremely faint chill swept through Chu Ge's body, not due to the influence of some spell or physical factors, but the power of controlling the rules directly acted on his body!
"It's ...... The power of the laws of ice? And the level of the law is still very high! ”
As a player who once controlled the law of ice, Chu Ge could naturally feel the changes that had occurred in his body,
"It will use the Thorn Flower Badge as a key, and it also has an aura formed by the High Ice Laws...... What the hell is here? ”
He pressed his temple harder, pondering for a moment, and then took the Thorn Flower badge out of the storage space again.
At the moment when he felt the aura of [Frozen Prison], the silver badge suddenly emitted the same halo as before, but the light was relatively dim, and at this time, Noah's prompt sound sounded again:
"Hint: The host is affected by unknown data, the [Ice Aura] determines that the host is an immune unit, the host is greatly weakened by the influence of the power of ice, the host's resistance to the ice energy in the [Ice Prison] increases, and the effect of the [Ice Aura] decays to 1% of the original!"
"Warning: This resistance is unstable, and as the host progresses, the decay/increase effect of the resistance is unknown!"
Feeling the chill slowly disappear from his body, Chu Ge's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.
"This is indeed the important place of the Isis royal family!"
Although the Ice attribute is not an uncommon attribute, the founding emperor of the Arcaya Empire, Isis the Great, was a user of the Ice Rule, and most of the members of the royal family are Ice attributes!
And the innate abilities in the bloodline of the Isis royal family are even more complementary to the ice attribute {Alice Phil is special}, not only can greatly increase the perception speed of the ice attribute, but also the power of the same level is much stronger than the ordinary ice element, which is also one of the symbols of the royal family!
Of course, when Chu Ge learned this information in his previous life, he subconsciously looked at his attribute template, and guessed very maliciously whether Ino's true identity was a wandering prince or something, but later experience denied this hypothesis.
"But why is this place called the Frozen Prison? What prisoner would need to be restrained by such powerful rules? And there doesn't seem to be any guards here......"
Chu Ge shook his head, took out the dagger and tied it to his leg, and the cloak that Eddie gave him was also draped by him, and then walked towards the passage.
The passage is sloping downward, the slope is not large, but it is not simply going inward, there are several large bends, and there are many glowing hedrons embedded in the walls, although the light is faint, but it can barely play the role of illumination.
Although Chu Ge had been going deeper, the torch in his hand did not look like it was about to be extinguished, and the oxygen in the passage was still sufficient.
"It's been a long time, I don't know where in the mountains this is......"
The length of the passage was beyond Chu Ge's imagination, and it seemed to extend all the way to the inner layers of the Alps, and he was cautious at first, then slowly picking up speed, and at last he was almost trotting forward.
As he walked forward, the strength level of the Ice Aura was also constantly improving, but under the effect of the Thorn Flower Badge, it still failed to have any impact on Chu Ge.
After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw the exit of the passage, the bright light lit up in the distance, and the torch in his hand finally could not support it, and it was extinguished with a pop.
"Warning: The host's location is the outer layer of the Frozen Prison, the power of ice is significantly increased, and the host is continuously affected by [Ice Aura {Lv9}] and [Eternal Frozen Aura {Lv1}], according to the host's own constitution and elemental affinity, the host will deduct 50% of its maximum health per minute, reduce its health recovery speed by 50%, reduce its movement speed by 15%, and reduce its attack speed by 15%!"
"Hint: Due to the influence of unknown data, the host is weakened by the power of ice, the host's resistance to the ice energy in the [Frozen Prison] is increased, the effect of [Ice Aura] is attenuated to 1% of the original, and the effect of [Frozen Aura] is attenuated to 0.1%!"
A space the size of half a basketball court appeared at the end of the passage, in Chu Ge's field of vision.
Silence, quiet, without any breath of life.
The walls are inlaid with pale blue crystals, illuminating the room, and a semicircular passage appears directly opposite the passage, which seems to lead to a more mysterious place.
There was a little ice ballast condensed everywhere in the corner of the wall, and every time Chu Ge exhaled, a burst of white mist would form and quickly dissipate, obviously the temperature had dropped to a certain level.
Although he had truly reached the interior of the Frozen Prison, the Thorn Flower Emblem still protected Chu Ge and did not let him be affected by the power of the rules.
"Is [Eternal Frozen Aura] ......? Even the strongest of the Isis royal family may not be able to control this level of power, who built this place? ”
Chu Ge was now more and more curious about this question, but what really caught his attention now was something else.
Not far to the right of the passage, a short figure knelt with his back against the wall, his hands and neck bound to the wall, his skin purple and blue, and a dirty rag hanging from his body, as if he had been imprisoned in an ice prison.
"Goblin ......?"
The features of his facial features and his short stature immediately made Chu Ge recognize the creature, which was an adult goblin that was no different from an ordinary goblin in appearance.
"Signs of life have been lost...... Is the so-called Ice Hell just for imprisoning this creature? ”
Because he didn't feel any breath of the living from the goblin, Chu Ge walked up boldly, ready to take a closer look.
However, before he could get completely close, the goblin's body suddenly twitched as if sensing something, and his hanging head immediately raised and howled at Chu Ge!
“……”
Although he tried to make a sound with a hideous expression, the goblin's vocal cords seemed to have been damaged, and they could only make faint noises, and the shaking of the chain chain was not as good as the sound of the chain.
Because of this sudden abnormality, Chu Ge subconsciously took a step back, pulled out the dagger in an instant, and then sensed that the goblin could not get rid of the chains, and then relaxed his body again.
However, his peace of mind did not last long, and after the goblins were awake for about three seconds, the chains that bound the goblins suddenly let out a strange tremble, and then melted in an instant!
The chains were forged from ice!
After the ice lock melted, the bound goblin was also freed as a matter of course, and rushed towards Chu Ge unusually violently, but Chu Ge noticed that after the ice lock melted, it actually flowed into the goblin's body silently, leaving no trace, and the fury in the goblin's eyes became more intense!
Although this enemy was strange everywhere, Chu Ge did not mean to be afraid, and easily dodged the opponent's collision with a twist of his ankle, and then smashed the goblin's back with a fierce elbow blow!
After receiving the elbow blow, the goblin staggered forward, and his whole body fell to the ground.
However, this goblin's desire to fight was amazingly high, and Chu Ge's attack didn't seem to have any effect on it, and as soon as his body flipped over, he immediately jumped up and threw himself at Chu Ge again!
"It's weaker than the stone imp, but the speed doesn't seem to be affected by the laws of Ice Hell, and there are no signs of frostbite on the body......"
Because of the temptation, Chu Ge did not go all out, but slowly observed the goblin's movements during the battle.
The speed of the goblin was far from fast in his eyes, but it was good among first-order creatures, and the connection between the opponent's movements just now was not too stiff, not like it was affected by the ice aura or the permafrost aura.
"Is that the chain...... Or something else? ”
Chu Ge immediately thought of the ice lock that had turned into the goblin's body, and a little bit of a plan to capture it arose in his heart, so he simply put away the dagger and fought with this goblin with his fists and feet, still on the side that was completely crushed.
However, things didn't go smoothly at all, and no matter how many attacks were relaunched, the goblin's stamina didn't seem to be depleted at all.
At this time, Chu Ge was also a little impatient in his heart, and was about to directly break the opponent's limbs to make him stop, when the goblin's movements suddenly stopped, the muscles up and down his body froze in an instant, and even his lips remained the same as before, and he fell straight to the ground!
"Dead......
After waiting for a while, and finding that the goblin did not have any signs of life, Chu Ge walked up to investigate, but as soon as his index finger touched the goblin, the stiff corpse suddenly shattered into ice slag and scattered all over the ground!
"Is that the reason for that chain?"
Chu Ge was also a little confused about this situation, and it seemed that he could only move on now.
Before coming to this arched passage, Chu Ge suddenly noticed that from this point on, the walls that had been built very smoothly gradually became rough, and he smashed them hard a few times, but there was no echo.
"I hope there will be something to be gained in the future."
The deeper you go, the denser the ice slag around the corners of the wall becomes, and even the top of the passage is covered with a thin layer of frost.
Although it has not been built, the walls of the passage are still inlaid with illuminated hedrons, but the blue light emitted by the hedrons brings out the cold and gloom of the surroundings even more, which makes people a little uneasy.
"It's spectacular......"
At the end of the passage was the top of a lookout, and in the distance there was a wide field of plain, the size of two or three football fields, and the dome was dozens of feet higher than the lookout, and the builders had dug such a large space in the heart of such a mountain range!
Because it is inside the mountain, even if it is a very small building, it will become very difficult to build, the amount of work in those passages outside is already huge, and those passages are not only worlds different from the open space in front of Chu Ge, just how to transport the excavated soil away is a big problem!
And what shocked Chu Ge even more was the scenery of the plain below!
Thousands of creatures were bound by ice locks, dense and neat, kneeling to the side of the lookout in an extremely humble posture, like lowly servants worshipping the king together!
Although their bodies were partially covered in ice and snow, and they couldn't see their original appearance clearly, Chu Ge didn't doubt the authenticity of those creatures, he widened his eyes and looked closely, and found that there were only a very small part of them, and the remaining species were all kinds, kobolds, harpies, fishmen, gnolls, and some magical beasts that seemed to be extinct......
Although the civilization of these creatures is backward and weak, it is enough to prove the ambition of the people who built the Ice Hell!
Enslave the races!
Thinking of this, Chu Ge couldn't help but look towards the end of the plain, where an arched passage was still being built.
The scene inside is already about to come out!
