Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 88, Ice Castle (3)
Christina's mind was confused by the twists and turns of the road, and she suddenly noticed something unusual.
"What's wrong?" Xia Han, who turned around and was about to leave, couldn't help but ask when he saw Christina's strange expression. "Nana?"
"Do you hear anything? It's very close to us. ”
Hearing Christina's words, everyone immediately stopped and listened carefully to the movements around them.
"It seems to be in front."
"Let's go, let's see." Christina, who served as the core of the team, waved her hand.
"Boom-click-"
The entire ice castle suddenly trembled, and the bodies of the five people couldn't help but shake with the ground, as if the whole world was sinking.
The cracks in the ground, like cobwebs, spread rapidly beneath your feet, and there was a clatter sound from the clatter of the crumbling ice, speeding from far and near.
"Get out of the way."
Coke still doesn't understand what's going on, but the crumbling palace, the cracked floor, and the ice falling overhead all signal that something ominous is happening.
Sharp icicles fell from the ceiling overhead to the ground, and exploded with a "pop" in front of Coke, shattering into Xiaoice pieces. The fear of death was so close to him. Coke, who had fallen to the ground, hurriedly got up, turned around and ran after Fez, in the direction of the rotunda.
Christina in front, streamer behind.
In the process of running, the ice under Xia Han's feet suddenly broke open, and it was pitch black below, and no one could see what was there. Xia Han's body suddenly slid diagonally along the falling ice block uncontrollably, and his palm grabbed the broken floor hard, trying to climb up.
The mysterious security personnel of Beihai and the strong medical team gave all the contestants the courage to risk their lives and enjoy the carnival.
Besides, with Xia Han's character, he would not choose to give up here no matter what.
Borrowing his hands, Xia Han tried to shake his body little by little, his feet bent back, and his body rotated in half a circle in the air, with his head down and his feet up. His hands were pressed against an ice brick that was falling rapidly, and after a while, Xia Han bounced back to the ground.
But the ceiling above his head also collapsed in a large area at this moment, and the falling objects smashed towards Xia Han. If you stop here, although there are people from the school to ensure the safety of your life, you will be eliminated by the system immediately.
At this critical moment, the streamer who came from the rear in time stepped on the falling bricks and rushed all the way along the corners that had not yet collapsed.
gave Xia Han, whose body was descending, a handle, and fled to the circular central hall with Xia Han.
The central hall, marked on the map as the very center of the third floor of the castle. There are countless paths in the labyrinth, no matter how tortuous the process is, but the end point will lead here.
Turning on the projection of the map, the area that has not yet been explored by everyone is still covered in a white mist, and the five of them have already explored nearly half of the area. And now everyone's target is the hall with the little red flag.
Through several curved passages and stairs, the five of them finally came to a long corridor. Just pass through here and you can immediately rush to the central hall. The five people who were running were suddenly blocked by a wall of ice falling from the sky, and the five people immediately stopped. Xia Han and Streamer subconsciously looked behind them.
"Boom—"
A violent crash sounded behind them, and the five of them turned around to see that the retreat was also blocked by the sudden appearance of ice walls.
"We were rounded up, which class did it?" Christina stopped in front of the ice wall and gave Fez, "Fez! ”
"Hmm!" The long-term cooperation made Fez immediately understand what Christina meant. Fez, unfurled, picked up his right arm and shook it, smashing the ice wall with a punch.
But then a lot of ice walls appeared, blocking the way of the five people.
Fez's face gradually lost his hippie smile, and the encounter along the way made him start to get serious, gradually revealing his original posture: "Leave it to me, it's a bit naïve to block us here." ”
We don't know who the enemy is hiding in the shadows, but we'll be sure to meet each other in this ice castle.
At this moment, there was a muffled rumbling sound around him, and the soles of his feet trembled slightly. As a result, large chunks of ice broke away from the walls and ceilings and fell into the water.
"Hey, what's going on up ahead?"
Everyone didn't say much, and neatly caught up with Xia Han and ran all the way. In front of me, where the sky could be seen, there were some crisp female voices.
This is the edge of the labyrinth, and someone has blasted a hole the size of a phone booth out of an intact wall, and a few pieces of broken ice are scattered underfoot. The harsh scorching sunlight spilled down the shoulders along the broken walls, warm.
Two girls from Class E were hiding here, looking embarrassed. I love Search.com
"Ah...... Fire control is really lame here, and it's not useful at all. A petite girl was complaining about something in frustration.
Xia Han heard from this sentence that it was indeed this elementary school girl who used flames to burn easter eggs to cause the powder explosion.
"It's not that you're too weak to melt even that small ice cube instantly." Next to her is a slightly taller short-haired girl, who speaks in a more mature tone, and is a big sister.
"I don't blame me, it's usually forbidden to use abilities in school, and I don't have a chance to practice......" The little girl was very aggrieved.
"Hmph, those guys." The short-haired girl pouted unhappily.
When the five of them arrived, the wall behind the two girls in Class E shattered, and then the floor under their feet cracked. There was a tremor on the ground, and the girl in Class E was unstable, and as the outer walls of the maze peeled off, the two lost their balance and eventually slipped outward.
"Ahh
I don't know who suddenly screamed.
Coke had just arrived here panting out of breath when he saw the scene just now. Two competitors stumbled right in front of him and were eliminated from the game. Cola walked to the side and poked his head down to look down. The girl who fell all the way was dragged by an invisible hand and sent back to the ground safely. As the moderator said, the Sports Week is indeed well prepared with safety measures.
"I've been curious since just now, which guy up there made such a big fuss." Cola looked up at the upper floors of the Ice Castle.
At this moment, a prompt came from the system from afar: "Class E has completed the challenge, Class E has completed the challenge." Congratulations to the members of Group 4 of Class E for successfully completing their tasks. ”
The results of Class E were immediately recorded on the scoreboard, and they instantly jumped to the first place with an advantage of 3,000 points.
Cola sighed: "Wow, their luck in Class E is too good." As soon as a pair fell, there were other teams to complete the task, and this world is really unpleasant! ”
Hearing this notification broadcast by the system, Christina and Tangtang were in two places, and said in unison with envy on their faces. "Alas! In this world, there are some people who can always hit the luck. Streamer: "Minister, do you know how tall this castle is?" ”
Xia Han shook his head: "Looking outside just now, it seems that the height is less than a hundred meters. But things are different every year, so I can't offer much useful experience. ”
Everyone rushed to the most lively center along the way, while chatting about the interesting things that happened in the previous sports weeks in Beihai.
Some of the quest items, like the one Streamer and Fez, found earlier, may be hidden in some unexpected corner. So after some analysis by everyone, the group felt that there was no need to go against other classes, and perhaps it was also an interesting choice to take this as a treasure hunt and look around the scenery.
Coke walked in the front, the streamer was at the end, and the five-person formation was scattered, as if they were on an autumn trip.
Soon after, the group finally arrived at the central hall, which had just been blocked by the ice wall, which was now devastated, with several icicles broken and lying sideways. There is a spiraling staircase entrance on the right, the railing is not known to have been deliberately cut off by someone, and the entire staircase is also broken into shape, intermittently.
Xia Han and the others looked at the staircase with sorrow. "Shall we go up?"
"Well, the lower three floors have already been swept. Our stuff should be on it. There was no hesitation in Christina's eyes.
"Then let's give it a try!"
On the iceberg trail in front of you, which is only a shoulder wide, no one dares to be careless, and there is an abyss on the right, and if you fall from here, it means that you may lose the qualification for this competition.
The five of them stuck to the wall, cautious. Follow the trail, step by step, carefully upwards.
During this period, Xia Han's feet slipped slightly, and he was almost about to fall down the ladder, but fortunately, there was a streamer behind him to take a hand, and Xia Han leaned on the streamer's outstretched arm, so he was lucky to escape this catastrophe.
"Be careful."
"The footsteps behind you are a little more restrained, there is a door in front, and there may be someone guarding the back." Christina, who was walking in front, turned around and told everyone.
OK! Streamer and others made this gesture one after another.
Walking lightly to the platform in front of the door, Xia Han glanced at the cliff wall dozens of meters high, and looked at the streamer with deep palpitations. "Just now, thank you for the streamer."
"Well, trifles!"
Christina and Coke, their ears were quietly pressed to the door and they were inquiring about the news on the other side, when suddenly, the door was handsomely broken open by Fez.
Faced with this stupid person who doesn't listen to the command and acts indiscriminately. Christina was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot, her face gloomy: "Fez! ”
Fez turned around, calmly spread his hands towards everyone, closed his eyes, and shook his head gently. "No one."
Looking through the big hole that was broken behind Fez, he looked inside, and sure enough, it was.
