Chapter 119: The Ice Freeze That Cannot Be Cracked
As soon as Nalan Qiqing drilled into the crack, those fierce and vicious golden-crowned black-tailed frogs rose into the air, opened their sharp teeth, and bit Nalan Qiqing's calf before they had time to retract into the crack.
And at this moment, there are more and more ice flowers in the cracks, and the cracks are getting narrower and narrower, seeing that Nalan Qiqing's body is about to be frozen by the ice flowers!
Once this happens, then she will be stuck in the crack, and the calf that is exposed at the moment will inevitably be bitten by the golden-crowned black-tailed frog.
Fortunately, the rain butterfly who was holding Jun Buyu in the cave, saw this dangerous scene through the gap between Nalan Qiqing's body and the crack, and hurriedly exclaimed, which attracted the attention of Yuan Xunshuang, who was holding Yanyu in his arms and was checking the body of Aunt Yerong not far away.
Yuan Xunshuang hurriedly gave up looking at Aunt Yerong, who had been frozen into an ice sculpture golden-crowned black-tailed frog, instinctively rushed over with Yanyu, and pulled one of Nalan Qiqing's hands with Yudie, and dragged it into the hole with force.
Suddenly, Nalan Qiqing's body quickly slid through the crack, threw herself into the cave, hugged Yuan Xunshuang and Yudie, and fell to the ground in the cave with a layer of ice.
That crack froze again the moment Nalan Qiqing just left.
Originally, there was still a large amount of warm wind blowing into the cave in the crack, causing the cave to not be too cold, but after being sealed at this moment, the temperature in the cave quickly began to drop, and it was obviously much colder than before.
If it weren't for Yuan Xunshuang and Yudie, who didn't care about their own injuries and desperately protected Yanyu and Jun Buyu in their arms, these two babies would probably have been injured.
As for the golden-crowned black-tailed frogs outside the crack in the ice at the entrance of the cave, most of them naturally bit empty and landed on the ground one after another, but a few happened to jump into the crack and crawled into the crack with their mouths open.
Fortunately, the continuous ice flowers produced in the crack prevented some of the golden-crowned black-tailed frogs from crawling inside, and except for one that was lucky enough to crawl into the cave, the others were frozen by the crack that froze again.
There is also a golden-crowned black-tailed frog whose head has drilled out of the cracks, but the body behind it is still frozen, still persistently opening its bloody mouth, revealing sharp teeth, desperately biting out of thin air, it can be seen that these golden-crowned black-tailed frogs have completely turned into murderous demons.
Ice flakes continued to appear on its head at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it stopped moving, turning into a white ice sculpture.
Although Nalan Qiqing and the others managed to hide in the cave and avoid being bitten to death by the golden-crowned black-tailed frog that was eyeing them outside the cave, when they saw that there was still one of them who followed Nalan Qiqing into the cave, their hearts were lifted again.
What worries them even more is that it is too cold in this cave!
Every moment, I felt that the blood on my body was about to be frozen, and I saw that ice flowers gradually appeared on their bodies, and their bodies became more and more stiff, obviously, it would not be long before they would be completely frozen.
Of course, the golden-crowned black-tailed frog that broke in was no better, and ice flowers began to appear all over its body, and after just a few steps of climbing, its movements became slower and slower, and it crawled towards Nalan Qiqing and Yudie who fell to the ground with little difficulty.
However, Nalan Qiqing and the others lost their ability to get up and run because of a sprained ankle at the moment, so they could only lie on the ground, instinctively twisting their bodies, supporting the ground with their hands, and retreating backwards a little bit.
When the golden-crowned black-tailed frog crawled and crawled, as if one leg had been stuck to the ice on the ground, and was quickly frozen, it could not climb forward at last.
Seeing this scene, Nalan Qiqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.
After that, several of them began to try to move their bodies as much as possible, and helped Jun Buyu and Yanyu in their arms rub their faces and bodies, including their own faces and bodies, so that the ice flowers that continued to form on their faces and body surfaces shattered and fell to the ground, so as to prevent themselves from being completely surrounded by ice flowers, and finally completely frozen into humanoid ice sculptures.
Because of the ice sculpture near the entrance of the cave, the golden-crowned black-tailed frog, and the many other humanoid ice sculptures in the cave, they were motionless, and they silently told them that soon they would become like this.
When she felt that there were still more and more ice flowers on her body, and she was struggling more and more, Nalan Qiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, but she didn't expect that a few of them had just escaped the crisis of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog and fell into a cave frozen in ice, and in the end, it was difficult to escape.
It's just that it's the same death, and it's a hundred times better than being eaten by those golden-crowned black-tailed frogs one bite at a time.
And in the dark, Nalan Qiqing has an intuition, that is, even if they are frozen in this cave, they may not necessarily die, maybe one day in the future, someone will find this cave, and after the ice is lifted, they may still have the possibility of survival.
With this hope that it would not necessarily come true, Nalan Qiqing struggled for a long time, and finally found that she and a few of them were lying on the ground and could no longer move.
Except for the eyes, the whole body was stiff and completely unconscious.
Even Yanyu and Jun Buyu were motionless, as if they were asleep in the arms of Yuan Xunshuang and Yudie.
Although Yuan Xunshuang and Yudie have become ice sculptures, they still have a reluctant look on their faces, staring at Yanyu and Jun in their arms, obviously unwilling to fail to protect the child in their arms.
Just when Nalan Qiqing also felt that she was getting more and more sleepy and was about to lose consciousness.
Suddenly!
"Click!" A sound made Nalan Qiqing, who was about to fall asleep, wake up again.
I saw that the golden-crowned black-tailed frog whose legs were frozen to the ground actually tore off its sticky legs alive and crawled towards Nalan Qiqing again.
The situation has become critical again.
Then every few steps that the golden-crowned black-tailed frog climbed, another leg was glued, but every time Nalan Qiqing just put her mind at ease, the golden-crowned black-tailed frog broke its leg again and continued to crawl tenaciously towards Nalan Qiqing.
It wasn't until all four legs were torn off that it slowed down, but it still had its mouth open, biting its sharp teeth up and down, and squirming towards Nalan Qiqing's feet little by little, and when its teeth almost touched Nalan Qiqing's heels, it was finally frozen.
Nalan Qiqing, who was almost shocked into a cold sweat, relaxed her tense nerves, and then completely lost consciousness.
At this point, Nalan Qiqing, Yuan Xunshuang, Yudie, Yanyu and Jun Buyu, who entered the cave, were all lying motionless on the ground, completely turning into snow-white ice sculptures all over their bodies.
Just after Nalan Qiqing and the others were frozen in the cave, the golden-crowned black-tailed frogs that had surrounded them on three sides were still guarding near the entrance of the cave and did not leave.
It wasn't until half an hour had passed, when the word "death" on their backs, which had been red on their backs, had turned into a green word for "life", that they scattered and left.
At the same time that the word "sheng" on their backs changed back to their normal green color, and the sharp fangs in their mouths also retracted, completely returning to their normal appearance as golden-crowned black-tailed frogs.
Not long after they left, there were faint shouts from many people nearby, apparently the villagers who had come out to look for Nalan Qiqing and a few of them had also come to the vicinity.
When a villager with a torch came to the front of the frozen hole, he was frozen for a while.
He didn't expect that there was a cave here that seemed to be frozen at the entrance of the cave, so he became suspicious, so he hurriedly shouted loudly, and soon, all the other nearby villagers who were searching were attracted to him.
This also includes the old village chief and Yan Wuhuo, who had brought dozens of villagers before, and searched all the way to the east according to the direction pointed by the villager who had last seen Mrs. Yan, and this frozen cave happened to be to the east.
When Yan Wuhuo came to the entrance of the cave, he saw a bracelet worn by a child on the ground at a glance, picked it up and looked at it, and immediately recognized that it was the bracelet that his daughter Yanyu had been wearing on her wrist.
In other words, his wife Ye Shuang'er and daughter Yanyu have indeed been here.
It is conceivable that there may have been some dangerous situation at that time, and it was too hasty to accidentally drop such an important thing on the ground and not find it in time.
Suddenly, Yan Wuhuo lay down in front of the frozen cave with emotion, patting the thick ice hard, and shouting loudly the nicknames of Mrs. and Yanyu.
However, no matter how much he shouted, he did not hear any answer until the palms of his hands were bleeding.
If it weren't for the nearby villagers who stopped the irrational smoke in time, maybe he would have been so crazy that he slapped his hands and slapped them hard.
The old village chief motioned to the villagers to help the uncontrollable smoke and fire aside to rest, and brought a torch to try to keep grilling the ice that sealed the entrance to the cave.
As a result, almost a quarter of an hour passed, and when I took the torch, I saw that there was no sign of melting on the ice, and it was still cold to the touch, and it was obvious that this kind of ice was by no means ordinary ice.
This extremely abnormal phenomenon also surprised the onlookers!
No one could have imagined that there is ice in this world that is not afraid of fire.
Subsequently, the old village chief asked several strong men to smash the ice at the entrance of the cave with swords, axes and hammers in turn, but after smashing for a while, he found that the knife edges were rolled up, and the top of the hammer was dented, and the ice still did not leave a trace.
Suddenly, the onlookers were in an uproar!
This completely subverted their perception of ice, which is obviously not only not afraid of fire, but also of swords!
All of a sudden, the villagers felt helpless, and they all looked at the well-informed old village chief with their eyes asking for help.
After all, the old village chief has always been resourceful, and he himself comes from this mysterious ruins of the Lotus Kingdom, so he must know what is going on.
The old village chief frowned and pondered for a while, then carefully checked the ice at the entrance of the cave, licked it with his tongue a few times, and said to himself: "Could it be that I have been away for more than a hundred years, and even the people of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom have come to the ruins?" This kind of thousand-year-old ice is only possible for people from the Immortal Kingdom to crack it! ”
After listening to the words of the old village chief, all the onlookers looked at each other and didn't know what to say......
