Chapter 120: The Choice of Life and Death

The two of them were so frightened by her sudden move that their feet couldn't move unconsciously. The sound of the shot reminded him of the carved wood, the musket that had never contained only three marbles.

"Carved wood!" Mu Xichen shouted behind Ah Xiao, and took advantage of the gap when she looked back to grab Jiang Xuejuan's panic and escaped. It's too late to just wait for the carved wood, if you can delay it for a while and wait for your aura to recover, maybe you will have the ability to avoid the pursuit of fire bats.

"Hurry up! Fast! His hair was messy due to the wind caused by his movements, and even vaguely blocked his vision, and there was a warm heat in his hand, Jiang Xuejuan had to grit her teeth and run down with Mu Xichen. She knew that only by leaving Ah Xiao's control could she hope to preserve herself.

There were no more gunshots from behind, and it seemed that Ah Xiao and they also knew that the excessive noise would cause the entire ice cave to collapse, which seemed to be solid, but it was a relentless blow.

"Be careful!" Mu Xichen could still control his legs, stepped on the thin ice under his feet, and his body suddenly collapsed downward, and the hands of the two were separated in an instant.

"Cherish the dust!" She was thrown back a few steps, realizing that after Mu Xichen disappeared, her whole nerves were about to burst with tension, and the body temperature on her body suddenly dropped a lot, and the warmth in her hands had been lost.

Feeling that every piece of skin and flesh on his body was going to be frozen to death, Mu Xichen lay on the ground for a long time before he gradually regained consciousness, and slowly propped himself up and got up from the ground.

Shaking off the broken ice on his head, he sat in place and was dizzy for a while, but he could vaguely hear Jiang Xuejuan's worried voice above his head.

"I'm fine!" He shook his head vigorously, and the white flowers in front of him were almost unable to tell whether this was heaven or earth. It felt like something was missing from my hands. His hands followed and fumbled in a dizzy situation, and soon he touched the string of handbags left by his grandfather and quickly put them back on his hands.

Jiang Xuejuan then cautiously jumped down from it, and just ran to him to ask if he was injured, but before she could ask, she found that he was wearing the bracelet on his hand as if it were a treasure.

She also squatted beside Mu Xichen, it seemed that he was not injured, but he did not wake up for a while after being impacted. Soon, Mu Xichen's eyes got used to it, and they were not as dead as just now.

Mu Xichen raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xuejuan, propped up from the ground, the ice slag on his body fell to the ground, and he didn't shoot it and thought about observing the surroundings.

Jiang Xuejuan followed Mu Xichen to stand up and look at the surrounding situation, this ice layer is actually divided into two layers, separated by a distance of about two meters, the ice layer on it is brittle and will break when you step on it, obviously unable to withstand gravity, so it is easy to go up and difficult to get up.

"What should we do now, we won't be able to last long if we continue like this." Jiang Xuejuan began to worry, it was definitely not a way to spend it here all the time. Of course, Mu Xichen also knows this.

"I don't know if Carved Wood found out that we were in trouble, and now I just hope he can get us out quickly."

"Mu Xichen, what do you think? Will he come to save us? ”

Jiang Xuejuan asked one after another, but found that Mu Xichen began to walk impatiently, and she didn't know which direction to go, just go straight inside

"Eh, why are you walking so fast, what if you get lost again? I don't know how to carve wood......"

"Carving wood and carving wood, why do you think about him whenever you encounter danger and difficulty!" Mu Xichen's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were not idle for a moment, searching around.

He didn't know what he was looking for, but he heard Jiang Xuejuan keep talking about carving wood bigger.

Indeed, whenever he encountered any difficulties, he always asked Carved Wood for help, and all problems were solved by Carved Wood. But all these things were caused by himself, and he led everyone into these incredible things.

"Although it is hot, I know that I am not strong enough, unlike carved wood, I can protect everyone in any danger. But I'm trying, I'm not slacking off, can't you rely on believing in me when things happen? Even if it's just for a while! ”

His shoulders began to tremble, why? Why can't you rely on yourself every time, you are also an onmyoji, ordinary formation spells are already almost enough, plus your excellent physique and qualifications. Why do you always let carved wood steal the limelight?

He was unwilling, unwilling to do this.

"There's nothing hard to get us in this ice cave! It's just ......" He suddenly stopped talking, and the rest of the words couldn't be said.

I was excited and rushed forward as I spoke, but now I really don't know where I am.

Damn, why can't you control your temper when it comes to the critical moment? He secretly blamed himself, leaving Jiang Xuejuan alone in the cold behind.

She still wondered, her whole face was about to twist together: strange, what did I say wrong? Thinking about it, her cheeks began to flush on both sides, maybe it was really too cold to be frozen, or maybe it was because she was very unhappy to be yelled at by Mu Xichen like this, mixed with many inexplicable emotions brewing in her heart, and she couldn't break out for a while.

Looking up at the huge ice sculpture-like building, he even held his breath and didn't move for half a minute, just looking up at the huge ice sculpture, the brilliant blue light pierced through the ice, and reflected on Mu Xichen's face through the ice sculpture, stabbing his eyes a little.

It seems that the blizzard outside has stopped.

"This is ......" Jiang Xuejuan of course also saw this scene, she thought it was blue light, but after careful inspection, she found that it was colorful.

The ice sculpture was an eagle with wings spread, about fifteen feet tall and arms outstretched about 4.5 feet. The eagle's eyes are carved carefully and spiritually, which is not at all in line with the idea of the ancients that the finishing touch would make the dragon fly away, but the eyes are carved to life.

I don't think this ice sculpture is many years old, but it should not have been built by the local villagers now, but in ancient times, who could have built such a magnificent ice sculpture under this icy and snowy earth full of dangers?

What is the purpose of building this eagle ice sculpture?

Mu Xichen saw that Jiang Xuejuan also had doubts, so he opened his mouth and explained with an extremely serious look: "In ancient times, there were magnificent buildings such as the Great Wall and pyramids, and their construction figures were so accurate that even modern technology may not be able to achieve them. How did those tons of boulders pull up and overlap one by one? ”

"This ice sculpture is like the Great Wall and the pyramid, it should be done by the ancients and used to represent something. You see, this is indeed a lifelike eagle with wings spread, but its head is slightly lowered as if looking down on something, the eagle's eyes are sharp and intimidating, and it has a crown on its head, which proves that its status is very high, representing the kingship of the world. ”

"In the eagle's eyes, the left eye is engraved with the sun and the moon, and the right eye is engraved with stars, which means that it can see everything, perhaps because the ancients entrusted their eyes to see farther and understand more things. Its claws clung to the ground, as if there was something that could not be put down, leaving nostalgia. ”

Mu Xichen paused, his eyes scanned over the ice sculpture, although all of this was reasonable, but he still couldn't figure out why someone would build such an ice sculpture here, and how they came here to avoid the attack of the fire bats.

How did they accomplish this huge project in the past, when labor technology was not developed?

Moreover, this is almost the most remote and remote place in Tibet, and how did those people get here?

Mu Xichen ran two steps closer, stopped not far away to take a closer look, this sense of oppression from top to bottom really made him feel that he was facing an imperial king, could it be that this eagle was representing a certain king in the past? Then there should be an era here that carries another civilization.

But there is nothing left in this place but desolation and poverty.

"Mu Xichen, there is also an ice sculpture over there!" Jiang Xuejuan covered her mouth and pointed her fingers in the other direction, her eyes widening.

"How come there is another one?" Mu Xichen looked over suspiciously. When I saw it clearly, there was indeed an ice sculpture!

No, it's just one more! At a glance, there are countless gestures! It's an underground ice storage vault!

"How can there be so many ice sculptures?" Mu Xichen walked over slowly, for fear that there would be any more danger. Jiang Xuejuan also followed cautiously behind her, her face slightly worried.

"It was just an eagle just now, and there are snakes, horses, spiders, ......"

"Is this a tiger or?"

"It's all ice sculptures carved with animals." She counted them one by one, all of them in the form of animals, but strangely enough, some of them looked like dots and dots.

"No, there's an ice sculpture carved with a human figure in there." Mu Xichen grabbed Jiang Xuejuan, who was about to look inside, Jiang Xuejuan turned around to look at him, but found that he just lowered his head and closed his eyes, and didn't say anything.

After a long time, Mu Xichen let out a breath before slowly raising his head.

His brow couldn't be tighter, not like his usual habitual slight frown.

He pulled Jiang Xuejuan's sleeve: "I always think this place is very weird, you look at those ice sculptures, although there are thousands of forms, but their eyes are all the same, and they are all looking down on the ground proudly." ”

"According to ordinary people's thinking, people should look far away or upward, how can there be a statue to look down?"

Mu Xichen didn't know what this meant, but his precise sixth sense always reminded him that nothing good must have happened.

Jiang Xuejuan's eyes widened and she didn't speak, she never thought that Mu Xichen would know so much, could it be that she hadn't cared about him before?

However, the woman's sixth sense is also very accurate, she also has a faint sense of unease when she sees these sculptures, and the curiosity in her heart has been driving her to find out!
