Chapter 558: Ice Spirit
Antarctica is certainly roadless, with ice, snow, and ice caves hidden beneath the snow. The extreme climate and topography have completely turned this place into a forbidden area for humans.
Even a scientific expedition would not dare to go so far as to be fully equipped.
I finally understand why the success rate of ice hunters for thousands of years is so low. They have no maps, no navigation, and even lack food and clothing, and they rely entirely on their physical strength to resist.
During the polar night, there are even all kinds of demons and monsters that pop out of the ice bumps to harm people. In this case, it would be nice to have a 1 percent chance of an exorcist who can successfully find the Ice Tomb.
Our generation of ice hunters is good, with the support of the state in the back, a variety of positioning instruments and electronic equipment as assistance, and a multi-functional combat suit that can withstand the cold. Rao is like this, we also walked tremblingly, and did not dare to slack off.
On the evening of the day I left the supply point, I arrived at the first point marked on the map. It was a wasteland formed by an ice cave, thirty kilometers from the supply point. The wasteland had been surveyed by a development company that was part of a supply site in an attempt to find useful minerals, but it turned out that the ice was too thick for the team to return.
These ice caves are large and small, deep and shallow. The deep ones can't be seen when illuminated by a strong flashlight, and the shallow ones are like a depression, and there are ice lumps that have been frozen for tens of thousands of years.
Don't look at the fact that it is only 30 kilometers, but it is already very good in the harsh environment of Antarctica. I knew how important it was to maintain my strength in the wasteland, so I decided to take a break here.
I picked a suitable ice cave, shoveled off the loose snow inside, and pulled an insulated blanket out of my bag. This thermal blanket is also the equipment in the special case department, which is specially equipped for special soldiers. The blanket has its own thermostat, as long as you warm up your body, the heat evaporates very slowly.
The only drawback is that it is not breathable, so there will be a bad body odor after using it for a long time.
After setting up a simple warning device around the ice cave, I slipped into it with my backpack and blanket. Outside, the wind was howling and the snow was flying, but it couldn't blow into the ice cave where I was hiding.
In this case, I have to keep one eye open and one eye closed even when I sleep.
I didn't sleep very soundly, and the wind on the ice field was as unsettling as a ghost's scream. I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly woke up from my sleep, and an unprecedented sense of crisis burst out of my heart.
This sense of crisis is an instinct that every exorcist has, and it is the inner panic and fear caused by the imminent death of the devil. I've had similar feelings before, and every time I feel like this, I'm faced with a thrilling journey.
As soon as I grunted, I got up from the ground and put away the thermal blanket after dividing it by two. After listening for a while, I noticed that the wind was still howling outside the ice cave, but the sound was more strange than before.
It's like there are countless people shouting to the rhythm of the wind, and when the wind howls loudly, they shout loudly, and when the wind howls quietly, their shouting is small.
Because the rhythm of the shouts is always the same as that of the wind, it is impossible to tell the difference unless you listen carefully. It is that subconscious sense of crisis that keeps me vigilant.
I poked my head out and found that the early warning device I had set up was not moving, and after a little thought, I put it away and got up and got out of the ice cave.
Outside, the wind was howling, snowflakes were all over the sky, and occasionally fist-sized ice cubes were smashed across the face. I tried to take a few steps against the wind, but I had to hide behind a raised mound of ice.
Outside, the shouting was much clearer, and this time I was sure I heard it right, it was definitely someone roaring in the wind.
Just as he was about to look around, three figures came out of the wind with a stream of urine.
The three men, dressed in bulky winter suits, carrying hiking bags and carrying their own weapons in their hands, looked behind them in a panic as they ran, as if something was chasing them.
I knew something was wrong, so instead of getting up from behind the ice mound, I looked carefully behind the three men. It didn't matter, but it startled me, because there were more than a dozen figures fluttering in the wind and snow behind me.
The dozen or so figures were really like ghosts, their feet didn't touch the ground, they just drifted along the wind. Because of the speed of the wind, the figures chased after them so fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were behind the three escapees.
These three people were obviously exorcists who knew how to do it, and when they saw that they were being caught up, one of them shouted: "You can't escape!" Fuck it! ”
The remaining two people roared: "Let's fight!" Left and right are just one death! ”
The three men stopped abruptly, and one of them slammed a shot, and a flare was shot out, but the flare was blown away by the wind as soon as it was shot.
But the moment the flare burst out, they could see the location of those ghosts. At that moment, the three people shouted, and they rushed directly at the figure.
All three of them are good exorcists, otherwise they wouldn't have penetrated deep into the heart of Antarctica. But as soon as they turned around, three shadows in the wind suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the three of them.
The ghost borrowed the wind, and the speed was so fast that people couldn't react, and the three unlucky ones only had time to scream, and they were directly drilled by the black shadow. In an instant, a strong wind blew, and the three living exorcists were blown into three ice cubes.
The ice fell to the ground, clattering into powder, but the ghosts were three more in number, wandering the wasteland with the wind.
I gasped, finally knowing what the ghost shadow in the wind was. This is the Ice Spirit!
Since ancient times, countless explorers have died in Antarctica. Because this place is half daytime and half night, the yin and yang are chaotic and the magnetic field is abnormal, so the souls of the deceased are not connected and are often trapped in this cold place.
After a long time, some souls couldn't bear the cold ice, and were attracted by the electric ions of the aurora, becoming a magnificent rainbow in the sky. There are also some souls who are accustomed to low temperatures and become so-called ice spirits.
Ice Spirits are different from normal Souls, the colder the place, the more powerful the Ice Spirits become. This thing tends to wander with the cold winds of the polar regions, and everywhere it goes, there is a dead silence.
Just because the Ice Spirit has the effect of freezing the soul, whether you are a human or a beast, as long as you have a mind and a soul, you will be the target of the Ice Spirit. Once a living person is put on the body by the Ice Spirit, the body will instantly become an ice cube, and the soul will form a new Ice Spirit.
These three exorcists were unlucky, they encountered the ice spirit in the wind, and they didn't have any guys in their hands, so they were all wiped out here.
When I learned what it was, I wasn't scared. Because although the ice spirit is powerful, it has no consciousness, and will only follow the yang qi to hit people. As long as I extinguish the three fires on my body and block out the breath of the yang fire, those ice spirits will naturally become blind.
I put away the beating stick, slapped each of my hands on my shoulders, and put talisman paper on my forehead to prevent the yang energy from leaking. When I was done, I took out another small bottle and reached out to wipe it inside, rubbing it on my bare skin.
This is a double yin ointment made of corpse oil, made from the corpse oil of a woman's corpse, once smeared on the body, not only zombies will treat you as the same kind, even ghosts will not harm you.
I cleaned myself up before I walked out from behind the ice mound, and in the wind and snow, those ghosts drifting in the wind happened to pass me, but because I had double yin ointment on my body, these ghosts didn't pay attention to me at all.
The Ice Spirits kept moving forward, exactly in the same direction as I did. My heart moved, the ice spirit had no wisdom, but just followed the wind. However, although these dozens of ice spirits were in the midst of the wind, if you looked closely at the route they were heading on, it was different from the direction of the wind.
In other words, the Ice Spirit is not a legendary drifter, but has its own purpose. This destination seems to be in the same direction as Ice City.
The so-called abnormality is a demon, and the actions of this group of ice spirits are so weird, eighty percent has something to do with the so-called Ice City, and I immediately moved in my heart and followed directly.
Anyway, the yang energy in my body is gone, and they can't see me, so it's a bit difficult to feel at ease if I don't catch up and see what is going on.
The speed of the Ice Spirit is naturally much faster than mine, but the Ice Spirit itself belongs to the Extreme Yin thing, and once it walks through, it will leave a very strong Yin Qi. I chased all the way down with this yin qi, and the direction couldn't be wrong anyway.
But he said that I was chasing for three or four days, and in the past three or four days, in addition to eating and sleeping, I almost ran all the way non-stop. Anyway, the traces of the Ice Spirit's progress are exactly the same as on the map, and later, I don't even need the guidance of the map, just follow the traces of the Ice Spirit.
I was exhausted by the endless tracking, but on the fifth day, I saw another group of exorcists. The corpses of a group of exorcists, to be exact.
I've seen these exorcists, and when we were at the supply point, they were still on Krastorfo's side to make things difficult for us. Later, Andarev told the traces of Zhang Tie Paper, and most of the exorcists left satisfied, ready to find the legendary Ice City.
These four exorcists are the ones who left in the first place.
They were faster than I was, and they got here before I did. But their luck was no less good, and although they were one step ahead of me, they were all wiped out, and none of them survived.
