"Wait a minute!" I stopped Liang Ruoyi: "There is something in the ice stone!" ”

"Something?" Liang Ruoyi, who had almost reached the intersection, turned back: "What is it?" ”

"Like a ......," I muttered as I looked inside, "like a coffin!" ”

Liang Ruoyi stretched out his hand and pulled me to the side, and the flashlight in his hand shone through. In the darkness, through the huge crack in the ice stone, you can clearly see that there is a black object inside, very much like a coffin.

"Click-"

Liang Ruoyi and I were watching, and the crack cracked again, this time, almost splitting the entire ice stone in half.

"How so?" Liang Ruoyi had doubts and a hint of excitement on his face, I know that now a coffin has appeared here, at least it means that our path is right, and it is not far from the Chengling hanging coffin, or rather, we are now in the Chengling hanging coffin.

I was about to speak, but Liang Ruoyi had already stepped up, and I hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, the ice in this pool is about to melt!" ”

Liang Ruoyi didn't look back, walked briskly on the ice, I frowned helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

In fact, the whole ice has begun to shake slightly, and the edges have almost melted, but because the ice is extremely thick, it will not break for a while.

Liang Ruoyi drew his short blade, walked in front of the ice stone, looked at the edge of the crack and stabbed it fiercely!

With a "bang", the short blade pierced directly into the crack, Liang Ruoyi swung downward, and several ice stones fell off with a "bang", and after a period of shaking, the big ice stone burst into two halves.

The pitch-black coffin lay quietly on the ice.

"A coffin with a coffin!" I was stunned for a moment, and when I saw this coffin with a layer of coffin on the outside, about one zhang long and about four feet wide, I said, "Is it still a coffin of a big man?" ”

"How do I hear a small sound?" Liang Ruoyi didn't pay attention to the coffin, but looked at me and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Huh?" I pricked up my ears to listen, and sure enough, under the coffin, there was a "hissing" sound.

Of course Liang Ruoyi didn't dare to rush over, I was not afraid, I stepped forward and reached out to grab the edge of the coffin, and pushed hard, because the ice below was very slippery, the coffin directly pushed me out more than a meter away, I hurriedly looked on the ice, and saw a few small holes the thickness of fingers, which were steaming!

"It's a microclimate!" I was amazed: "The water temperature down there is rising so fast!" ”

Liang Ruoyi glanced at me: "Do you think there is a problem with the coffin?" ”

I shook my head: "No, there is no chill in the back of the head." ”

Hearing this, the ice beauty walked to the coffin, used a short blade to pry open a few nails in the coffin in the shortest possible time, and then flew up and kicked the coffin lid off.

With a "bang", the coffin lid fell heavily on the ice, and it slid more than a foot away before stopping.

Liang Ruoyi and I hurriedly shone our flashlights and saw only a body covered in frost in the huge coffin. From the outside, it is impossible to tell whether the corpse is male or female.

"You, see if there's anything else in there!" Liang Ruoyi pointed to the inside of the coffin and said to me.

I?! You're really welcome, let me get started directly!

Thinking that I owed too much to the ice beauty before, and besides, this should be my responsibility, I could only put my hand in it and carefully turn over the corpse, and there was nothing underneath.

Liang Ruoyi took out a piece of blood stone from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth, leaned over and looked down: "Hmm, empty coffin." ”

I shrugged, slowly flattened the corpse, and was just about to withdraw my hand, when the back of my head was cold, and I hurriedly subconsciously pushed Liang Ruoyi out, and I took advantage of the momentum to dodge to the other side, but I was grabbed by the ice corpse's wrist!

I thought that this thing would not pose any threat to me, but I didn't realize that although this ice corpse instantly withdrew its hand after touching my skin, I only felt a piercing cold rush from my wrist into my body, and in an instant, my entire left arm was numb and abnormal, as if it was frozen!

Liang Ruoyi also came back to his senses at this time, and saw me staggering back two steps and sitting on the ground, bullying myself back, and the short blade that I had been holding in my hand stabbed at the ice corpse that had just sat up from the coffin!

The ice corpse turned to one side slightly, Liang Ruoyi's short blade went straight into his chest, and there was a "hissing" sound from the wound, Liang Ruoyi's face froze, and the short blade was frozen by the ice corpse, unable to move!

"Bastard!" Liang Ruoyi became angry, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of chewed blood stone sprayed on the face of the ice corpse, kicking it out with a kick!

By this time, the temperature had risen to almost twenty degrees, and I was even starting to sweat when I was fully armed, and as the temperature rose, my numb left arm began to feel it.

With a "bang", the ice corpse fell to the ground, and the face that was sprayed with bloodstone was covered with red blood, and the burning sensation made him struggle to get up to take revenge, but Liang Ruoyi was unforgiving, ran over in a few steps, stepped on the body of the ice corpse, reached out and grabbed the short blade inserted in his chest, pulled it hard, but didn't pull it, and then with a coquettish sound, he jumped up, his body turned around in the air, and his feet stepped heavily on the chest of the ice corpse!

I heard a "click", and hurriedly picked up the flashlight that had just fallen on the ground and shone it over, seeing that Liang Ruoyi's kick directly knocked the ice surface under the ice corpse open, she drew out her short blade and jumped back with her strength, and the ice corpse had disappeared into the water.

"Let's go! This ice is going to shatter! Liang Ruoyi passed past me and said without looking back.

I looked at the back of the ice beauty escaping, covering my numb right arm, and I really wanted to pinch her face-zi!

By the time I staggered back to shore, the ice in the pool had broken into countless pieces, melting at a rate visible to the naked eye.

And the water on the shore has already reached the ankles.

"Let's go, go back!" Liang Ruoyi pulled me and turned around and ran into the hole, I patted my left shoulder, and followed.

Soon, we stepped back to the fork in the road, and the time was already pointing to eight o'clock in the evening.

"Hey, it looks like this is the way to go." I pointed to the path on the right and said, "It seems that we don't have much time to rest now, and I am anxious to know what is going on here......

"You don't want to die here, do you?" Liang Ruoyi gave me a blank look: "Then let's go, I also feel dangerous in this place." ”

The two of us stood at the fork in the road and rested for a few minutes, my left arm had returned to normal, and I walked into the intersection on the right.

Like the previous road, it was a very narrow space, but unlike the dark and damp of the path, the stone walls of this road were dry and the temperature was high, and I said as I walked: "The rain outside and the water from that ice pool are estimated to be a sea of water in this place soon." If I'm correct, it's a downhill road ahead! ”

Liang Ruoyi walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and asked me, "How do you guess that the front is downhill?" ”

"Hey, hey!" I scratched my head: "You think, just now we were going uphill, and we found a few small holes in the ice pool that were steaming, indicating that the temperature was rising from below to above." So the bottom must be a pool of water with a high temperature in a specific environment, and when the temperature rises, the ice pool above will melt! ”

"Then why do you say that the ice pool above is frozen into ice?" Liang Ruoyi asked.

I was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly and shook my head: "This, I don't know......"

"Maybe it's the same reason." Liang Ruoyi analyzed: "You said that in a certain environment, the temperature of the waterhole below will rise, then it is also possible that in another environment, its temperature will drop. In other words, the environment of the ice pool above is originally cold, and it only melts because the temperature of the pool below rises. ”

I nodded: "Maybe, it's just that I don't know what kind of result such a microclimate will have......"

"The most intuitive result is that the water in the ice pool melts away, and all the water outside will pour into it." Liang Ruoyi said, turning sideways, revealing a downward slope half a foot away.

"Where did the water go before that?" I didn't expect to guess correctly, but this morning, the water that had been stored for almost twenty-four hours disappeared quickly, and where did it go?!
