Chapter 303: The Behemoth Under the Glacier
...... under your feet Frozen in the depths of the ice, which has been frozen for thousands of years, it still remains biologically active...... What exactly exists?
Dong Bin concentrated the center of his whole body on his other foot, grabbed the rope tied to his waist with one hand, and slowly probed down with the other hand, and the foot that touched the strange biological tissue didn't even dare to move.
In order to better confirm what the object under his feet was, he even relied on his ability to "continue fighting", and took off the glove at the expense of frostbitten his hand, but also judged with the most real sense of touch.
Then he touched it, and it was a warm sensation, a vigorous wriggling under the palm of his hand. It was the flesh and blood of some kind of creature...... Moreover, still alive.
The fingers touched some liquid, which was warm at first, then quickly cooled down in the environment, but remained liquid and did not freeze. He slowly withdrew his hand back to his eyes, and by the lamp, he saw ...... It was red, fresh blood.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Bin shone the miner's lamp downward, and he finally saw it clearly...... The scene in the glacier at your feet is absolutely supernatural, absolutely beyond imagination.
"Oh my God......"
It was a behemoth, a titan behemoth sleeping in a glacier.
The huge glacial fissure, which had cracked due to the stress present in the glacier, had only created a small hole in the back of the behemoth, which was insignificant, and did not attract the attention of the behemoth in the slightest, and could not even disturb the behemoth's deep sleep. The wounds made by the iron claws that climbed on his feet were even less worthy of mention in the face of the huge size of the giant beast.
Helpless, confused, sluggish. It was a feeling of insignificance in the face of something great, and it was like a momentary pause in thought.
Elephants are the largest creatures on land, but whales in the water are far larger than elephants. But the size of the two is not even qualified to compare with this giant beast.
Titan Behemoth...... Deserved.
"Is it a nightmare...... No, the nightmare was born on the other side with the development of human history, and it is a product of symbiosis with human civilization...... But the glaciers in the far north are far older than human history, and even the unknown civilization is older than the 'astrolabe system' built on glaciers, and the giant beast is frozen in it, indicating that it has been sleeping for an unknown number of epochs...... It's a ...... Prehistoric giant beasts......" Dong Bin's eyes widened, obviously he was just here to pick up a "token", but he didn't expect to see such a terrifying scene.
"Far North...... Godzilla ...... "Dong Bin remembered that Xiao Yao had told a very interesting story to himself before, there were prehistoric monsters sleeping on the planet, and Godzilla, the king of monsters, sleeping under the glaciers in the polar regions, and the Titans would eventually wake up and take over the world that belonged to them again.
"Oh, what a blind cat hit a dead mouse...... The story that Xiao Yao casually made up can really find a corresponding ......" Dong Bin smiled bitterly, secretly glad that at least now this giant beast that has slept for I don't know how many eras still sleeps soundly.
Dong Bin imagined the scene of being the enemy of the giant beast, the bone sword? Zombie tide? Cracks in the air? Then he was saddened to find that all his attacks had been useless. The volume, the overwhelming volume, is enough to neutralize all attacks, and the wound that I have created with all my might is probably as harmless as a person being bitten by a mosquito.
"What a monster this is...... In any case, don't disturb this one
The sleeping of the giant beast is better......" Dong Bin took a few deep breaths and calmed his mood, "Wait, it's the ...... that is stuck in that position." The token that Edith said? ”
He saw the piece of metal that matched Edith's description, the smooth cross-section of the "token" reflecting the light of the miner's lamp above his head. The fragments that could enter the "City of Stars" were stuck deep in the wound, with the blood flowing in a thick vessel.
"Little Sister Edith...... You've really made me miserable......" The corners of Dong Bin's mouth twitched, and he continued to move a little bit towards the bottom with extreme caution.
This crack created a wound on the back of the giant beast that looked huge, but the wound that spanned 100 meters was probably only a layer of skin for the giant beast. Then if you continue to move down, the impact on the creation of the giant beast should be even more insignificant...... Shouldn't it be a big problem, right?
Only this time, Dong Bin didn't dare to generously nail the iron claws on his feet into the flesh of the giant beast.
The thick blood vessels were beating in front of his eyes, and the huge cell blocks were wriggling as if they had independent lives, although he knew that he was afraid that such a small "ant" would not be able to make the giant beast feel substantial pain no matter how hard he tried, Dong Bin still didn't even dare to breathe hard. Finally, with no danger, he picked up the piece of metal that was stuck in the flesh of the beast.
"It's over...... Whew, it really scared me to death......" Dong Bin breathed a sigh of relief, intending to grab the rope and return the same way. He felt that the beast was still asleep now, and should be sleeping like this for countless years to come, and he was lucky.
Then Dong Bin raised his head, and the miner's lamp above his head illuminated a transparent layer of ice. In that glacier, a giant yellow eye that was several times larger than himself was quietly looking at him...... It is no longer known how long the fixation has been.
Then, the eye blinked.
The blood in Dong Bin's body instantly coagulated.
……
The snowdrifts beside the glacier crevasse had been cleared, and Edith stood anxiously walking back and forth on the edge of the crevasse, occasionally popping out and looking down. At the depth where Dong Bin was, he couldn't see his figure clearly, only the flickering light still showed his existence.
"I hope ...... He's okay......" Edith sighed, she had always known that she had the "shortcoming of dropping the chain at a critical moment", but she didn't expect that she would come to such a scene at such a life-and-death moment.
At this moment, the safety rope tied to the stake beside her shook violently - the other end of the safety rope was tied to Dong Bin's waist, Dong Bin had told them before diving into the crack that this was just in case, if he had any accident below, he would pull the safety rope desperately, and everyone did their best to pull him up.
Edith was sluggish for a few seconds before she realized that Dong Bin seemed to have an accident below.
"Quick! Pull him up! There must be something wrong down there! Edith ordered loudly, and she didn't bother to pretend to be her "pampered eldest lady" persona, so she rolled up her sleeves and pulled the rope and began to pull up desperately.
The beard hurriedly leaned over, and also stepped forward to pull the rope and pull it up hard together: "Brothers, hurry up!" Pull it up hard! Without the financier, we won't get a penny! ”
Under the desperate pull of the crowd, the rope moved up about half of the path, and then they suddenly felt that their hands were empty, as if the end of the rope was ...... There are no objects left
So so.
Edith's heart sank, and she began to fear that Dong Bin would be lost here, not only because of her willfulness to kill a person who was eager to help her, but also because the son of the Typhon family's century-old son of fate disappeared like this, which was definitely the last straw that broke the camel's back for the family.
A figure suddenly flashed out of the crack, Dong Bin held his bone sword, rolled to the ground in embarrassment, struggled to stand up, but collapsed to the ground again.
"Dong Bin, you...... It's okay......" Edith lifted him up, she couldn't imagine - what kind of existence under the glacier scared an out-of-law person like this?
Dong Bin's lips moved, his face turned pale, he used the bone sword as a crutch, and staggered to his feet: "Get out of here." ”
"Leave...... Over here? Edith looked around, and though she didn't see anything worthy of an enemy in her sight, she raised her guard.
Dong Bin gritted his teeth and raised his voice: "Listen to me!" Get out of here, the footsteps are softer! Fast! ”
He thought that he might never forget that scene, under the cold ice accumulated for ten thousand years, he stood on the wound of the giant beast and operated carefully, and the yellow eyes of the giant beast opened at some point, silently watching himself cover his ears and steal the bell......
That sense of fear, that sense of insignificance and inferiority, is despair that cannot be described in words.
At that moment, he really thought that he was going to die, the giant beast didn't even need to do it himself, it only needed to move its huge body slightly, and the glacier would shatter, and it would be smashed by 10,000 tons of ice - even the exception could not withstand that kind of impact.
Instinctively, he pulled the rope desperately, and his stiff body was quickly pulled upward, and the eyes of the giant beast were always watching him, turning and staring at himself and leaving. After being pulled up for more than a hundred meters, Dong Bin's consciousness recovered, and he didn't care about the rope on his waist, and stuck the bone sword in the ice and bounced forward with all his might.
Because he moved much faster than people could pull the rope, it gave Edith and the others the illusion that the rope was not connected to the weight.
The beast disappeared from his sight, but the fear of being watched did not dissipate.
The team marched far away from the crack before Dong Bin stopped and threw the "token" that had been in his arms to Edith.
He still didn't say a word, and the trembling and cold sweat that he had been suppressing burst out.
"In the end...... What's wrong? What the hell is so scary under the ice? Edith finally asked.
Dong Bin shook his head: "Believe me, it's better if you still don't know." ”
Yes, only by not knowing the existence of the giant beast can she walk on this ice field without fear; Only when she doesn't know that the behemoth below can ruin everything here as soon as she turns over, can she have hope of saving the "City of Stars".
There is another reason...... Dong Bin didn't want to mention the Titan Behemoth at all, he had a vague illusion - it seemed that as long as he mentioned it, then it would know where he was.
Should it be said lucky? Although the behemoth noticed its presence, it was business as usual...... I'm afraid that the weight of my own "ant" is not enough to make the giant beast really wake up.
Of course, it's better for the beast to never wake up......
