Chapter 1362: Antarctic Tracking
Antarctica is the southernmost continent located on Earth.
The entire Antarctic continent is almost entirely covered by glaciers, with an average thickness of 1,600 meters, and the ice sheet is covered by plateaus and mountains, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, making it the highest average altitude continent in the world.
Due to the high altitude, thin air, and the reflection of solar radiation from the surface of ice and snow, the Antarctic continent is the coldest region in the world.
The average annual temperature of the Antarctic continent is -25°C, and at such low temperatures, ordinary steel becomes as brittle as glass.
The Antarctic continent is not only the coldest place in the world, but also the windiest region in the world, with the most frequent storms and storms above level 12.
After getting guidance from Lin Yi and learning the location of the Beidou Emperor's inheritance among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, Qin Fusu left the island in the Arctic Ocean, and then immediately gathered his men and prepared to set off for the other side of the earth.
After several days of preparation, he took more than 20 of his subordinates to this Antarctic continent, known as the "White Desert".
At this time, it is summer in Antarctica.
And in West Antarctica, in the wind and snow howling, a team of more than 20 people continued to move forward in the wind and snow.
Although the temperature here is very low, these twenty people, except for Qin Fusu, are all martial artists with good strength and ability or magic cultivators, and their ability to resist the cold is good.
In particular, in this team, there is also a Storm Girl with a blizzard ability, and a fire-type ability, where the wind and snow are cold, and the impact on them is even lower, so they can travel much faster than ordinary people.
Suddenly, Qin Fusu raised his hand and said, "Stop!"
Hearing Qin Fusu's words, everyone stopped and looked at Qin Fusu one after another.
Qin Fusu didn't speak, but looked around at the white expanse of ice and snow, and then carefully looked at the map in his hand that Lin Yi gave him.
After half a minute or so, Qin Fusu frowned and said, "No, this direction is wrong!"
The Storm Maiden wondered, "Didn't we follow the map, how could we go wrong, is there something wrong with the map?"
Qin Fusu knew that there was no problem with the map, after all, with Lin Yi's identity, he would definitely disdain to tease him with a fake map.
Qin Fusu shook his head, compared the map with the surrounding glacier landform for a few minutes, and said, "According to the map, at this time, there should be an iceberg of about 100 meters in front of us. ”
Everyone was stunned, because they only saw a flat glacier at this time, not to mention a 100-meter iceberg, and even a dozen meters of ice was very few.
Everyone looked at Qin Fusu, and a white man with a pointed chin said, "Now, which direction are we going?"
Qin Fusu thought for a moment, looked at the Storm Girl, and said, "Storm Girl, Wind Fox, you go in two directions, go to the front and explore the road, and see where there is the iceberg I just said!"
"Yes!"
Storm Girl answered, and then vanished into a shower of snow.
Wind Fox, a white man with a pale face and a height of only about one meter six, did not speak, and after a burst of white light lit up on his body, his figure also disappeared into the wind and snow.
"Everyone take a rest on the spot, recover their strength, and when the two of them find out the direction, we will set off again!" Qin Fusu said.
After Qin Fusu finished speaking, he fell into deep thought: "Lin Yi said that the inheritance of the Great Dipper Emperor is located in a place that ordinary people can't reach, in an underground palace covered under thick ice and snow.
Moreover, the closer you get to that place, the more severe the storm becomes, and the closer you get, the easier it is to get lost...... Am I not far from there at this point?"
Qin Fusu was a little excited in his heart, but then he frowned again: "Lin Yi once said that the closer you get to the location of that underground palace, the greater the danger, and entering the underground palace is more dangerous than outside......
The others began to talk to each other in low voices.
"You say, is it the Storm Girl who comes back first, or the Wind Fox who comes back first?"
"This Antarctic continent is full of glaciers, and I don't know how long it will take to reach our destination......"
After more than ten minutes, the Storm Girl came back and said to Qin Fusu: "I went to the front to explore more than ten kilometers, and I didn't find an iceberg of about 100 meters. ”
"No?"
Qin Fusu was puzzled, and then looked at the map again: "Since there is none, it should not be in this direction." ”
"Could it be that the iceberg has melted?" Stormtroo wondered.
"I can't be sure now, I'll talk about it when the wind fox comes back!" Qin Fusu said.
After another ten minutes, Wind Fox finally came back: "In the direction I explored, there is a 100-meter iceberg, I don't know if it is the one we are looking for." ”
When Qin Fusu heard Wind Fox's words, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What shape is that iceberg?"
Wind Fox said: "Roughly the same iceberg as the triangle. ”
"A triangular iceberg, that's it!"
Qin Fusu said: "Keep going!"
Then, Qin Fusu and more than twenty of his subordinates moved in the direction that the Wind Fox had explored just now.
Nearly an hour later, the group finally came to the bottom of an iceberg about 100 meters and shaped like a triangle.
"The wind and snow here are much stronger than just now!"
"yes, I'm getting colder, too!"
Qin Fusu didn't seem to hear the words of his subordinates, at this time he was observing the iceberg and comparing it with the map in his hand to discern the direction.
After a minute or so, Qin Fusu said, "Southwest direction!"
Two hours later, Qin Fusu and his entourage came to the entrance of a deep valley surrounded by icebergs.
The wind howled from the entrance of the deep valley, and from time to time patches of crystal ice flew out from the entrance.
"In the deep valley, the wind is too strong, and the sky is full of ice cubes, everyone be careful!"
Qin Fusu said to the Storm Girl: "Storm Girl, you open the way ahead!"
Without saying a word, the Storm Maiden moved into the entrance of the deep valley and cast her abilities to control the wind and ice cubes to open up a safe path.
The others, seeing that the Storm Girl had opened a path, followed Storm Girl and walked into the deep valley.
At first, everyone felt quite relaxed, but after advancing more than two hundred meters, the storm girl suddenly changed her face: "The front is very dangerous, and I am not sure that I can control all the ice cubes, you should be careful to deal with it yourself!"
Hearing the words of the Storm Girl, everyone's faces changed, and with the strength of the Storm Girl, they couldn't even ensure safety, which made them all shocked.
"Storm girl, you're not joking, are you?"
Storm Girl sneered: "If you don't believe it, you can try it and see how powerful the ice cube is!"
