Chapter 589: Ice Age
A world covered in endless icebergs and snow, barren and dead. There was no sound here except the whimper of the cold wind that was constantly blowing. Life is long dead, everything has withered, and nothing has changed except for the snow and ice and the mountains that still stand. This is a world long dead, a world destroyed by hoarfrost.
Crunchy!
A pair of leather boots stepped on the thick snow, making a creaking sound of the snow being squeezed. Dressed in a wide black robe, the corners of the robe dragged on the snow, dragging long traces as it moved.
Jiang Ning took off the hood on his head, revealing long silver-white hair, and wearing a laurel crown on his head that symbolized the status of the king. The gaps in the black robe were faintly visible of the silver-gray armor he was wearing and the hilt of his sword hanging from his waist. By his side, the tall and majestic Ilfas accompanied him. Four eyes look at the ice and snow world in front of them, the dead world.
As for the white frost, Jiang Ning already knew that he had obtained information about the white frost from the Aine Elf Elf clan at the beginning. Subsequently, the White Ship team, which went out to explore, also reported information about the hoarfrost and the world destroyed by the hoarfrost. This is a natural disaster, more like a magical disaster caused by frequent world travel.
When the celestial spheres converge, it brought about a revolution, and it also brought the monsters that survived in the other world or dimensions to other worlds. It is more likely that hoarfrost was caused by the intersection of the celestial spheres, or it may have been caused by it. It shuttles through a vacuum, moving through passages that are invisible to the naked eye. Later, when traveling through the world, the portal was constantly opened, which was equivalent to providing coordinates for the white frost. It is also for the activities of hoarfrost, accelerating the expansion of the space for movement.
In fact, hoarfrost is more like a large, widespread, glacial climate. It is the most powerful in the moment it strikes. The moment everything is attacked by it, it will be frozen in the ice and snow in an instant by the ultra-low temperature carried by itself. However, as long as it survives the most violent moment of hoarfrost, the low temperature it carries, everything can actually accept it, and will not freeze in an instant, in which there is a process of adaptation. However, this did not help.
Because, when hoarfrost descends on a world, it will continue to invade the world along the 'cracks', and everything in its path will be covered with snow. The low temperature will continue, sucking away the heat and reflecting the temperature from the sun. Over time, the effects of hoarfrost will persist in a world, the heat will gradually disappear, and the temperature from the sun will continue to be reflected into the universe. Gradually, the world loses its warmth, and the energy that everything depends on is reflected into the universe, and food and plants can no longer grow. There will always be a day when the stored food will be eaten, and the firewood used for heating will also be used up one day, and the life of sitting on the mountain will eventually die completely after a few decades. The figure of hoarfrost covers the whole world, turning a healthy planet of life into a star of ice and snow, which constantly reflects the warmth of the sun into the vast universe. Therefore, in a world covered in hoarfrost, even if the sun hangs above your head, you can't feel the slightest warmth. The surrounding environment, as well as the ice and snow, will continue to suck the heat from your body, and eventually you will fall down with cold and weakness, and then the core temperature of your body will be sucked by the ice and snow, and your life will die in the endless cold.
This is the conclusion that Jiang Ning deduced after feeling the hoarfrost himself. Because, he didn't feel the spells or related supernatural powers in the hoarfrost, only the endless ice and snow and the ultra-low temperature that it carried. The ultra-low temperature brought by hoarfrost will make people frostbite and freeze the moment they come into contact. The cold snap it carries is the biggest murderer of the world, the difference is that the hoarfrost moves through the vacuum of the universe, and it moves according to the opening of the world's passage. If the World Passage is not opened, the White Frost is in fact moving very slowly, and it will take an unknown amount of time to reach a world and finally arrive. Therefore, Jiangning concluded that it was a large glacial climate, but its scope was too wide and its origin was too mysterious.
In the history of the Earth, the longest ice age was tens of millions of years, and the shortest ice age was two million years. The question of how the Ice Age came into being has been a mystery that has not yet been solved, and it is difficult to determine the final outcome due to the different theories. The eventual retreat of the Ice Age was also caused by volcanic activity in the Earth's interior, which broke through thick glaciers and spewed endless magma and heat to the surface, melting snow and ice. The gradual reduction of ice and snow allowed the temperature from the sun to descend on the surface of the planet, and as the ice and snow continued to melt, the temperature of the planet's surface continued to rise, eventually ending the ice age. Everything has ushered in development and growth!
White frost, on the other hand, is similar to this situation.
The problem is that if you want to save a world and end the age of hoarfrost, you must attract the power of the planet itself and let the volcanoes erupt underground. It brings a lot of heat, melts the thick snow and ice, and when combined with the temperature from the sun, it is the hoarfrost that can be ended. It's just that this method is difficult and almost impossible. Because of the hoarfrost, the entire interior of the planet seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, and the activity of magma has begun to slow down. No one can say how long this will last, and the dormancy of the planet is more like accumulating power.
Jiang Ning stayed in this world covered by hoarfrost for a long time, and he also realized a lot. The specific origin of hoarfrost is a mystery, and it is by no means a conclusion that can be drawn through simple observations. The origin and causes of hoarfrost still need to be actively explored. This kind of academic observation is no less than deducing the causes of the ice age. There are many things involved, and they need to be explored one by one. What's more, the activity of hoarfrost is in the vacuum of the universe, and this unusual origin puts a white veil on the already mysterious appearance of hoarfrost.
Moreover, Jiang Ning also found that with the frequent opening of the world channel, the speed of hoarfrost activity is also accelerating. Perhaps, in the future, this frequent behavior of opening the world channel will also accelerate the invasion of hoarfrost. When there is no way to curb hoarfrost, then there is only one stupid way to do it. At the very least, the base camp on which they lived, developed and reproduced could not be invaded by hoarfrost. Whether the holy tree has the ability to resist hoarfrost or not, even Jiang Ning himself does not dare to experiment easily. They are also just a group of wanderers on isolated islands, far from their homeland. The only land under their feet is the foundation of their survival and development.
Therefore, in the absence of hope for the time being, gambling adventure-like actions should be stopped. And this also means that they have to abandon their vast colonies to deal with the all-encompassing threat from the White Frost!
