Chapter 46: Countdown 3

With huge blocks of ice exposed to the water, it's easy to wonder why something so heavy doesn't sink into the water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIf you are a student who has studied physics, you are likely to give a serious answer such as "ice is less dense than water"; And students who know a little bit about geography will tell you because there is land down here.

Antarctica is not a small continent, because it is close to the pole, it stays dark for half of the year, and even the other half of the day, the angle of daylight is very sloping. As a result, it is covered with snow and ice all year round, but on rare occasions a small part of the land is revealed.

For a long time, it was home to penguins, seals and other creatures, and even humans with footprints all over the world could not touch this cold-cursed land. To this day, human beings still do not survive here for a long time, and the close contact with this place still stays at the level of "scientific research and exploration".

For most people, this is still a completely unknown dark realm. Therefore, it is not so unusual for a huge mountain range to suddenly appear so high and far away - it is naturally impossible.

[It seems that this is the setting of "Crazy Mountains". In the midst of the Crazy Mountains, there is a city of the Ancients that has been abandoned. Beneath the city, beyond the nests of the incompletely evolved snow-white penguins, the servants of the ancients, the formless Shogues, gather in the deepest depths, destroying the lives of creatures they are not familiar with, with any malice or curiosity. 】

Appearing in mid-air and discovering a sea below, the Golden Libra decisively used teleportation and managed to move horizontally above the ice sheet before the altitude dropped to sea level, and landed steadily.

On the other side, although her sister Jin Xing did not have the ability to teleport, she didn't seem to have the intention of performing a down jacket wet show, and after reciting the spell, she reluctantly made a piece of ice floes below and stood on it.

"I don't want to fall into the water, really, how can I do this." A man who was so tightly wrapped up and down that he couldn't even see his face didn't know when he stood beside the golden Libra, and he was staggering and judging the place not far away.

[This guy also has a very bad neurotic aura haunting his body.] 】

Jin Libra, who was also wearing very warm clothes, turned his head to look at this tall mysterious figure, and asked calmly, "What were you talking about just now?" Who are you? ”

The man in the suit spread his hands and let out a burst of laughter suppressed by the thick fabric: "I am the guide." ”

[We don't need a guide, I probably already know the setting of this ghost place.] Running over with an NPC is a drag. Even if you don't consider the issue of protection during battle, in the past, he couldn't keep up with the speed of Little Gold. Now that the preliminary round could end at any time, I think it's better for us to hurry. 】

Listening to Lin Qing's words, Golden Libra nodded, raised his head, and opened his mouth-

"Don't say no just yet. I'm not going to be a drag. Also, if you go with another group of players, it's more secure to get points, isn't it? Please come with me, your candidate companion is here. The guide didn't wait for the golden scales to speak, and then responded.

Golden Libra was stunned for a moment, blinked, and nodded silently.

[This bastard - he didn't even see what we were going to say.] It's not the first time he's taken on this kind of job, it's all a clichΓ© he's used to! Little Gold, you understand, right? 】

Listening to Lin Qing's explanation as if he was a little annoyed, Golden Libra smiled and nodded. This kind of Lin Qing makes Golden Libra feel more accessible, and at the same time, it also makes her feel more cute. Although Lin Qing doesn't like this kind of evaluation.

Venus finally walked to the shore on the ice floes she had made that barely supported her.

Golden Libra owed to Venus very stiffly: "Thank you, sister, for helping me." ”

Venus smiled a little embarrassed, it was clear that she wasn't good at lying, and she didn't have the cheekiness to accept thanks for being a fool of others. Her look made the people in the suit on the side shake their heads uncontrollably.

[Well, with bad intentions. Although the shape of Shogues is very close to that of a normal slime, its combat effectiveness is not clear. According to the urine nature of the Cthulhu Mythos, these indescribable things that drop San value when seen are not something that humans can deal with...... Your sister probably knew this and introduced you here, right? Now it's starting to twist and pinch again. 】

Although he probably thought of it, hearing Lin Qing say this, it still made Jin Libra feel a little uncomfortable, so he stopped talking to Jin Xing, turned to the guide classmate, and said a little stiffly: "Then, let's go." ”

The guide looked at the golden scale for a while, and seemed to raise an eyebrow or smile at her, because the whole face was tightly wrapped, so the golden scale could not be seen clearly. After a while, the guide let out a strange laugh under the thick cloth: "Hehβ€”I'm sorry to keep you waiting." This young lady, do you want to come along? ”

Venus naturally declined his symbolic invitation, and the guide didn't mean to take her with him, and without waiting for her to respond, he turned around and left with the golden scale. He seems to have completely given up on deceiving the golden scale, and the reason why he still asks this question is purely out of habit or out of his professionalism.

There are few people on the ice sheet, and even if a few people occasionally move around it, it doesn't affect the overall feel. Desolate, cold, with not a breath of life in sight, any animal that survives on it will have to do its best, and will still be crushed to pieces by even the slightest serious force.

Walking in such a place, it is easy for one to feel lonely and indulge in loneliness and not want to say a word.

However, this is only for ordinary people, and for some neuroses whose thinking is different from ordinary people, they simply cannot experience the so-called power of nature, let alone be shocked by such a view. For example, Lin Qing, for example, the guide.

"Have you thought about how to get back?" The guide, who had been chattering, suddenly popped up a topic that Libra cared about, but Libra didn't know how he got here from what he had said two minutes earlier: "Scott's Antarctic expedition...... Seeing the bewildered reaction of the Golden Libra, the guide continued: "IMHO, you don't seem to have thought about it? ”

Golden Libra hesitated for a moment, didn't speak, just nodded.

"I noticed that when you came, you were brought by that young lady's global teleportation ability. But now the young lady seems to have gone back. In any case, her teleportation count was used at least twice. The guide's tone was like that of a salesman who had joined a pyramid scheme, "So there's no way she'll pick you up again." ”

Golden Libra nodded, and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Speaking of which, all teleportations can bring people?" ”

The guide stopped, turned his head to look at the golden scale, and looked at it for a long time, until he saw that the golden scale was a little hairy, and then laughed twice: "Yes." Nice to meet you. I turned out to be a geographer based at Amundsen-Scott Station, Richard? Manson. Well, I have the same name as the murderer in history, but I'm a decent person, just call me Richard. ”

…………

Lin Qing was lying on an excessively large waterbed, holding a lollipop in his mouth, and muttered a little unpleasantly: "Damn, this product is too sensitive." Even if you're a player, it's not surprising to ask a little bit of this kind of question, right? ”

Uncle Thief was studying the use of the TV and the computer with great interest, although there was always a snowflake on the TV because there was no signal, and it did not discourage his high interest: "Liar friend, what's wrong?" ”

"Hmph......" Lin Qing pursed his lips, "A person who was originally wary of a certain character and introduced himself very limitedly, but now his attitude towards this character has changed drastically, and he has made a meaningless self-introduction, why do you think it is?" Uncle Thief? ”

"Hmm." Uncle thief answered, inadvertently touched the boot button, saw the computer screen on the side lit up, raised his eyebrows in surprise, threw aside the snowflake dot player that he had been playing happily with, and tossed around the computer for a long time, then absentmindedly opened his mouth and replied, "I think, probably because I suddenly fell in love?" ”

"What! This guy doesn't even show his face and wants to grab a little gold from me! Lin Qing suddenly jumped up and let out a roar with extremely high decibels, and then Lin Qing reacted and shook his head, "No, let you go astray." Blame me for not making things clear. You don't care about what you have, and promise my terms-"

Speaking of this, Lin Qing realized in hindsight that Uncle Thief had left the computer at some point, standing behind him, and gently pressed his right hand on his throat. "Conditions? Do you really think I'm going to fulfill what I promised? ”

Lin Qing has also had a general understanding of the methods of these thieves in the dark these days, not to mention that even on the earth, it is not without the skills that a thief can do, Lin Qing knows very well that although it is only a finger that is pressed on his throat now, as long as the thief uncle wants to, when he presses down a little further, the blade will stab into his throat.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Qing felt that he had only one way to deal with it. So he twisted his neck, grinned, and said calmly: "What, Uncle thief, although the owner here is not here, it is also very bad behavior to step on other people's beds with shoes?" ”
