Chapter 128: Ice and Fire
When Hercules retreated to the dead end with the remaining less than 3,000 people, tens of thousands of snowmen suddenly swarmed up like chickens.
"It's a big problem!" Hercules drooped his eyelids and exhaled.
"Huh! Just right! Blake smiled and said.
"How?"
"Look at your head!"
So, Hercules looked up: it was no longer a crystal clear ice overhead, but a fish-scale milky yellow, a bit like a soft bag for home decoration, and also like an upside-down custard bag, which was very gorgeous.
"I patronized the battle just now and didn't find out!" Hercules' eyes widened and exclaimed.
"Huh! I just noticed it wasn't long ago! Blake smiled and continued, "I didn't expect there to be magma flowing above us!" ”
"Hmm!" Hercules also nodded and smiled, "The ice on it is quite thin, it's really an endless road!" ”
At this time, just as the two were having a good conversation, a large group of snowmen rushed over.
"Leave it to me!" Hercules leapt to his feet as he spoke, turning his weapon into a hot flame spear in mid-air.
Then, with a "eat" sound, the flame spear slashed through the ice at the top, sending out shiny sparks.
After Hercules quickly danced the flame spear in the air, several cracks appeared in the ice at the top. At this time, the unknown snowman happened to rush to Hercules's side.
At this moment, Hercules landed on the ground from mid-air, then crouched down and performed a backflip, leaping a few meters backwards. Seeing this, the snowman thought that Hercules was going to run, so he hurriedly chased after him, and at this moment, Blake unhurriedly pressed the flying wheel in his hand, and suddenly an arrow of light went straight into the custard ice layer above the snowman's head.
Then, with a "bang", the ice above the snowman's head completely cracked, and in an instant, a stream of magma tilted down and poured right on the snowman who came to chase after him.
With a scream, the snowmen touched by the magma began to melt, first one by one, and then gradually merged with the magma, flowing around.
At this time, the snowman behind saw this and hurriedly retreated backwards, not daring to move forward easily. And the snowman who rushed too far was even more unlucky, forced by Hercules and the others, and pushed into the magma.
"Hahaha!" Now it was Hercules' turn, and they laughed.
"Blake, now, this group of snowmen, I'm afraid it will have to stop for a while." Hercules puffed out her cheeks and smiled.
"Hmmm! Now it's time to take a good rest! Blake also smiled and nodded.
However, the reality was cruel, although the ice on the top surface was destroyed by them, but within half an hour, the damaged ice began to condense again, and the magma began to gradually stop pouring into the ground.
"Hercules, did you see that?" Blake said, pointing to the ice that was condensing ahead.
"See!" Hercules replied, looking at the ice in a serious manner.
"That's not good! After a while, the snowmen will rush over, and they will become cautious. Blake said solemnly.
Hercules closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "I see what you mean, what to do now?" ”
"Hmmm! I have a way to use the container we brought with us to hold the magma, transport it to the entrance of the cave in front of us, gather it, and then melt the big ice blocks blocking the entrance in one go. Black suggested.
"But how much time does it take!"
"That can't be helped, it's the only way, although it's a bit slow." Blake said with his hands outstretched.
"Hmmm! I'll cover up here, and you'll collect the lava and quietly take it to the cave entrance. Hercules patted Blake on the shoulder.
"Okay! Leave it to me! With that, Blake led more than 100 people and began to collect magma in containers.
At this time, the ice on the ground melted into a hole due to the yellow hot magma tilting down, like a small magma pool, but the magma inside was rapidly solidifying.
"We've got to hurry!" Blake said to the members of the gathering team as he bent down.
In this way, after almost two days, Blake and the others have gathered a yellow magma pool of several square meters at the entrance of the cave.
"It's coming! A little more! Blake said happily as he wiped the sweat from his head with his arm.
"You've got to hurry, we're running out of heat!" Hercules gasped as he lifted his baton, apparently he had just gone through an unusually vicious fight.
As Blake prepares for his final trip to transport lava, the snowman seems to have found a clue. So, these snowmen used the same method against them when Black led the people to collect. Suddenly, the magma sloped down like a tidal wave.
"Blake, be careful, come back quickly." Hercules shouted behind him with a short stick in one hand and one against his mouth.
Blake heard Hercules' warning, looked up, and saw that something was wrong, so he quickly put down the prop in his hand, took a few steps back, and jumped backwards on tiptoe to perform a backflip. Just as he was on his feet, the place where he had been hiding had been swallowed up by the billowing yellow magma, and the fellow gatherers had been wiped out.
"I didn't expect them to steal our tricks!" Blake puffed out his mouth and said angrily.
Hercules lowered his head, patted his chest, and mourned for his sacrificial compatriots for a while, then raised his head and said coldly: "It's no wonder, it's been almost two days, and the snowman only saw us collecting magma but didn't use it, don't think it's strange!" ”
"It's almost that much, and we can't fall short!" Blake said with a grimace.
"Let me do it! Fight your way through the blood, and you'll be behind to collect lava! Hercules looked ahead and said with a sharp look in his eyes.
"How can this work?" Blake stopped in front of Hercules, shook his head and said, "I don't agree, you are cutting off your own way by doing this, and you can't come back if you make a slight mistake!" ”
"And do you have a better way?" Hercules turned his head to look at Blake and retorted with a blank face.
"It's ......" Blake was speechless for a moment, but still disagreed.
Just as they were at a stalemate, suddenly there was movement ahead. I saw rows of icicles lying on the ground, constantly rolling down from them, impacting the snowman station. Fortunately, due to the small space in the tunnel, the snowman had no time to dodge the attack of icicles, and was either flattened or pushed into the magma in front of Hercules.
"What the hell is going on here?" Blake wondered as he looked at the snowman who was constantly being attacked.
On the contrary, Hercules smiled faintly and said, "Reinforcements must be coming!" ”
"That's right, we've been out of Stormwind for so long, and we've lost our communication connection, so it's normal for them to come here." Blake muttered to himself.
However, this reinforcement is not from Stormwind City, but an elite warrior led by Tianxuan.
This one, let's start from the front, not long after Tianxuan entered the fourth cave, a lot of corpses were found along the way, and if you look closely, they are all members of the expedition, and there are thousands of people.
"Looks like the expedition has suffered a heavy blow here!" Tianxuan squatted on the ground and stood up after watching for a while, touched his chin, thought for a few minutes, snapped his fingers and said, "If this road leads to the exit, then the expedition team should pass through relatively smoothly, and it is impossible to fight to the death here." ”
"But......" Tianxuan thought about it again and felt that there was something wrong with it, and said to himself: "The expedition team has a guide, it should be impossible to go wrong." But if they go wrong and are intercepted, the number of dead people doesn't feel right, too much! It is possible that there may be a number of surviving expedition members in the tunnel, or that there may be a large number of snowmen hiding in it. ”
Thinking of this, Tianxuan immediately ordered a few heralds to inform the 2,500 elite warriors outside the cave to hurry over. At the same time, he personally brought 2,000 people into the tunnel to find out.
Later, after Tianxuan found out about the process of Hercules and their battle with the snowman, he suddenly thought of an idea and hurriedly led people out of the tunnel. Then, when the 30,000 elite warriors had gathered, he began to command his subordinates to sawn down the surrounding icicles one by one and put them on the ground, and after polishing them smooth, he immediately ordered these roller-like icicles to be pushed into the hole.
The rest is pretty much clear, and the roller-like icicles gradually increase their speed from top to bottom along the slope, and when the acceleration reaches its limit, it rushes into the snowman's quarters. This is where the show comes in, most of the snowmen are basically flattened or squeezed and pushed into the magma, and for a time the snowmen are almost killed and wounded.
When the magma is filled with icicles, the ice surface is passable again. As a result, Hercules and Blake immediately took the manwell weapon and turned into a hot system to wrap the snowman from the other side. Then, within half an hour, all the tens of thousands of snowmen were wiped out.
At this time when the battle ended and began to clean up the battlefield, Hercules and Black were surprised that they were not waiting for reinforcements from Stormwind, but elite warriors led by Tianxuan. Then he asked puzzledly: "Tianxuan, why are you here?" What about the people of Stormwind? ”
Tianxuan sighed, shook his head, and then told the two of them the ins and outs of the matter and the fall of Stormwind City.
"How so? Stormwind has suddenly fallen! Blake shook his head in disbelief.
Tianxuan knew that they couldn't understand for a while, so he asked about other things: "By the way, Hercules, are you going the wrong way, you have reached a dead end!" ”
"It's a dead end, but it's not the wrong way!" Hercules glanced at Tianxuan and said.
"That's right, then why are you nesting here?" Tianxuan raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to ask.
"Oh!" Hercules suddenly stretched out his finger, opened his mouth wide, and shouted, "I forgot about the group of traitors outside. ”
"Yes! If you don't remind me, I almost forgot! Blake shouted too.
"Traitor? Is it a prisoner? Tianxuan asked calmly.
"How do you know?" Hercules and Blake asked in surprise.
"It's not unusual, there have been prisoners in Labor City who defected to the snowman before, and presumably the instant fall of Stormwind City was the same reason!" Tianxuan crossed his waist and explained calmly.
"How can it be!" Hercules yelled, then said to Black, "Blake, let's gather some more lava and melt the big ice blocking the exit at once, and see how I clean up this bunch of stuff." ”
"Hmm!" Blake answered, then morphed into a flame spear to smash a gap in the ice at the top, and led some lava from the container.
After taking the magma, Tianxuan and the others came to the entrance of the cave that blocked the big ice. At this time, Blake connected a magma pool that he had made on the ice wall to the top of the ice block with a pipe, and then pressed the handshake dynamometer attached to the tube, and in an instant, the magma "grunted, grunted" and left for the large ice block.
After a few moments, the inside of the large ice cube was completely melted, leaving only a thin layer, and it was vaguely possible to see quite a few people sitting on the ground outside.
By this time, Hercules was already furious, and kicked it, and only a thin layer of ice was instantly trampled to powder. Suddenly, the scene outside the cave immediately came into view.
Tianxuan looked at it, and saw that the world outside the cave was no longer ice and snow, but a feeling of scorching sun, and there was a red rock everywhere.
"It's really two heavens of ice and fire!" Tianxuan opened his mouth wide and sighed.
