220. Trolls
The entire party was gone, few people survived in the devastating avalanche, and even if they were lucky enough to get a life back, it only prolonged the time of death, the Ice Soul Mountain Range was never a kind place, and cold and dangerous elemental creatures would threaten the life of any intruder at all times.

In a cold valley covered with snow all year round, a crow descends from the sky, hungry and desperate to find something to feed it, berries, seeds, or animal carcasses, anything.
There was an avalanche here just two days ago, so maybe you could try your luck.
The crow took a few steps in the snow, and soon, its keen vision noticed something different in the white snow, which was a few black slender strips.
What is it? The crow walked over and tilted his head to take a closer look, it was a hand, a corpse was pressed under the huge snow shuo, this corpse was enough for it to enjoy for a long time, a few days...... A few weeks...... Or even a few years.
So the crow poked his head over and pecked lightly on his finger.
Bite! There was a crisp crash, but the crow was horrified to find that the corpse's hand was actually clenched into a fist! He's alive, he's not dead! Out of natural caution, the crow decisively gave up the food, spread its wings and flew away.
After waking up from the coma, Ding Hao felt like Sun Wukong who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, and the whole person couldn't move at all except for his right hand. So Ding Hao turned on the detection system of the power exoskeleton and made a detailed inspection of himself, and the test results showed that he was very healthy and not injured, and the equipment on his body was only slightly damaged by the thruster behind him, and the nanorobot has been repaired, and the repair time is expected to be 2 hours and 19 minutes.
Since it's okay to be physically and well-equipped, now it's time to get the damn pieces of snow off your back.
Ding Hao's left arm flashed with a lilac light, and the light gradually wrapped the snowdrift like a hill that pressed on Ding Hao's body, and then in a muffled sound of "poof", the snowdrift exploded entirely, and Ding Hao got up from the ground.
Where is this? Ding Hao looked around and found that this was a strange canyon, covered with white snow everywhere, some hardy plants grew tenaciously here, and there were many small animal footprints on the snow. Reminiscent of his previous experience - avalanche and fall, Ding Hao finally realized that he was now in a certain valley in the Ice Soul Mountain Range.
So...... What about the others?
"This is Ding Hao, call Huang Qian, call Huang Qian, please answer when you hear it." Ding Hao used the quantum entanglement communicator on the powered exoskeleton to start calling Huang Qian, but there was no response after calling a few times.
Quantum communication equipment can ignore distance and interference, theoretically it is impossible for Huang Qian not to receive it, so the only explanation is that Huang Qian is now in some kind of state that cannot respond.
"Tianxuan, help me remotely connect Huang Qian's powered exoskeleton and check her physiological condition." Ding Hao called out the artificial intelligence and gave her an order.
"Wait a minute." Tianxuan said, and after a few seconds, there was a result: "The other party's physiological state is all good, he is currently in a deep sleep, and his reaction to the outside world is extremely weak, so it is recommended to contact him in a few hours." ”
Deep sleep is not just about sleeping, it can also be in a coma. But now I don't know where she is, even the positioning device can't find her, and the armor of the shadow blade can't be remotely controlled, so even if there is any danger, Ding Hao can't help.
"I'm going to look for the assembly machine first, and I'll get in touch as soon as you see this message." For this situation, Ding Hao can only send a message to the past. After all, Huang Qian's own strength is strong enough, coupled with a thick power exoskeleton, ordinary people can't hurt her at all.
After sending a message, Ding Hao took out the tracker from the imaginary space to confirm the location of the assembly machine, and the flash on the tracker screen showed that the assembly machine was about 200 kilometers to the northeast, which was not a short distance. After confirming the direction, he put away the tracker and walked through the thick snow towards the location of the assembly machine.
This valley is relatively narrow and frozen all year round, but it is not completely deserted, Ding Hao saw the remains of many buildings in the valley, all of which have been dilapidated, apparently thousands of years old.
So which civilization left these wrecks behind? Ding Hao touched the moss-covered ruins, and couldn't help but think.
"Warning, humanoid approaching 300 meters northeast has been detected." However, at this moment, Tianxuan suddenly issued a warning, Ding Hao was startled when he heard it, and then looked left and right, and found that the big trees in the valley were more luxuriant, and it looked like a good place to hide, so he stretched out his left hand and shot out the gravity lock, and the whole person jumped on the big tree at once, squatted on the thick branches, and quietly waited for the arrival of the other party.
The distance of 300 meters was not too long, and in less than 10 minutes, the humanoid creature that Tianxuan said walked into Ding Hao's field of vision. These were three strangely shaped humanoids, tall and thin, but they were all hunchbacked, their bodies were very low, they had blue skin, strange faces, large noses and ears, and two long fangs in their mouths, which looked obscene and ugly. In addition, the temperature in the valley was only minus forty degrees, and the monsters wore only rudimentary clothes sewn from animal skins, which seemed to be only a shield from shame rather than cold.
Ding Hao recognized them, it was these monsters who created the avalanche and buried the entire adventure party.
If Kale were here, he would recognize these monsters as long-extinct trolls, who were said to be the first protists to appear on the continent of Acala, who once developed a powerful civilization throughout the continent of Acala, and then were completely destroyed in a short period of time due to some kind of disaster, leaving only the scattered remnants of this civilization for future generations.
But now it seems that perhaps there is still a troll tribe in the Ice Soul Mountains.
Ding Hao didn't know what the trolls were or what their history was, he only knew that these trolls were completely coming for him, because the three trolls were walking straight towards the place where Ding Hao had been pressed by the snow before, obviously they were worried that these outsiders would escape after creating an avalanche, so they sent a search force to prevent future troubles.
This thought is really thoughtful, looking at the three trolls walking under the tree, Ding Hao reached out and touched the electromagnetic rifle behind him, but he suddenly retracted his hand halfway through the touch, the rifle bullets are running out, and if you can save it, these three trolls have to be solved in an economical way.
So Ding Hao took out a super blade compound bow that had not been used for a long time from the interface space, the power of the bow and arrow is definitely not as good as that of a firearm, but the advantage is that the arrow is simple to make and can be reused, not to mention that it is better to use a bow and arrow to sneak attack and assassinate.
The three trolls were too close to each other, and if they wanted to be assassinated, they had to find a way to keep them apart. Ding Hao looked left and right, and then an arrow shot at the right tree trunk, making a soft sound of "do", after hearing this sound, the three trolls immediately stopped, and after a little exchange, one of them pulled out his weapon and walked in the direction of the sound, and the other two stood one after the other and watched it go to check the trunk.
Vigilance is good, but it's useless. Ding Hao drew his bow and aimed at the leftmost troll and shot an arrow, because this guy was in the blind spot of the other two trolls, and killing it first would give Ding Hao plenty of time to shoot the other one.
An arrow to the head, the sharp hunting arrow wrenched the troll's head into a mess, and the troll fell into the snow without even snorting, and another troll less than a meter away didn't even notice it.
It's really a crayfish, Ding Hao sneered in his heart, drew his bow again, and shot the second troll with one arrow.
As for the troll who checked the abnormal noise, he didn't need a bow and arrow, Ding Hao tiptoed to the top of the troll along the thick branch, and then pulled out the dagger and jumped down, the sharp dagger pierced the troll's neck accurately, Ding Hao held the dagger with the help of the inertia of the fall and twisted it hard, and the sharp dagger almost cut off the troll's head.
After carefully examining the corpses of these trolls, Ding Hao found that although these guys were tall and thin, their muscle fibers were unusually thick, obviously with very strong explosive power, and their cells were very active, and the corpses could be kept warm for a long time in an environment of minus 40 degrees. In addition, don't look at these trolls' clothes are very shabby, dressed like primitive people, but the weapons are quite exquisite, their weapons are made of metal and animal bones, delicate and durable, inlaid with voodoo patterns carved from wood, the whole weapon is surging with a cold and vicious energy, it is obvious that this is not an ordinary weapon.
No matter what it was, put it away first, Ding Hao touched the corpse again, and found a roll of parchment from one of the corpses, which was full of unintelligible words.
"Tianxuan, translate it for me." Ding Hao unfolded the parchment and fully displayed what was written on it under the helmet camera.
"Wait a minute." Tianxuan said, and then began to analyze and decipher, and it took about 5 minutes before he came to the conclusion: "Sorry, there are too few samples, I can't decipher this language, you need to find more samples, I suggest it's better to capture a captive." ”
Compared with deciphering from the text, it is more efficient to use brainwaves to decipher the text of an unfamiliar race.
"Alright, take the prisoners." Ding Hao put away the parchment and stood up: "I hope these guys can cooperate well." ”
