"Report to the commander, we have found quite a few more corpses of the expedition ahead."

After hearing the report. Tianxuan resolutely ordered: "Everyone, it seems that the expedition team has encountered an accident, and we must hurry up to support them." Full speed ahead with me! ”

"Order!" After the people answered, they immediately set off with neat steps.

It didn't take long for an icicle forest to appear in front of Tianxuan and them, and five forks in the forest appeared.

At this time, the troops stopped, and someone came to report: "Report to the commander, there are multiple forks in the road ahead, do we want to act in batches." ”

"No, don't worry, if you disperse your forces here, once you encounter an enemy attack, you may be disintegrated in an instant." Tianxuan paused and said, "Since the ice cave can form on such a large scale, there must be a huge downwind outlet corresponding to the upwind outlet we entered, so as long as we find that way out." ”

"How do you find it?" The person who reported asked.

"Let me think!" So, Tianxuan lowered his head, rubbed his temples with the knuckles of his fingers and began to think. After a few minutes, he looked up and said, "Hmm! I've got it! ”

As he spoke, Tianxuan walked to the entrance of a cave, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and after about ten seconds, he said, "It's not this!" Then he walked to the next hole.

When we reached the fourth cave, a gentle breeze slowly blew towards Tianxuan. After feeling the fluctuation of the air flow. The corners of Tianxuan's mouth curved up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and he turned back to everyone and said, "Everyone, I found it, this is it!" ”

Then, Tianxuan led the elite warriors into the fourth cave.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the cave, Hercules' expedition is engaged in an encounter with the Yeti. It turned out that this ice cave was the lair of the snowman, and it was already targeted by the expedition team as soon as they entered. Just as Hercules was leading the men to mine the Ice Crystal, the Yeti suddenly attacked from behind.

Since the snowman is fighting at home in the ice cave, Hercules fights and retreats, and gradually runs to the downwind of the ice cave under the guidance of the guide.

After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally came to the icicle forest. Next, Hercules unfolds a fan-shaped formation to face the snowman. Although the expedition team had more than 30,000 people, most of them were prisoners, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong, and their role was mainly to collect ice crystals.

So, in order to take care of the overall situation, Hercules shouted while fighting: "You collect troops to withdraw first, and here we are here to resist." ”

At this time, the guide of the expedition said, "Commander Hercules, can you hold it if we leave behind?" ”

"I can hold it!" Hercules twitched his cheeks, smiled confidently, and said, "No problem, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on." ”

"Good! Remember that the fourth entrance is the exit, and I'll take someone through first! ”

"Hmm!" Hercules didn't look back, just calmly replied and continued to fight.

Although this is the nest of the snowmen, only 40,000 to 50,000 people are fighting Hercules. Most of these snowmen were also converted from prisoners, and even if they fought at home, they didn't take much advantage, after all, they didn't have Hercules' berserker troops as well trained.

After some fighting, the snowman's offensive gradually slowed down, and then the two sides formed a standoff.

After that, Hercules stepped forward from time to time to provoke the snowman, but none of them dared to move forward. So, Hercules entered the fourth cave with more than 6,000 berserkers.

Hercules walked through the cave for about half an hour, and the surrounding tunnels gradually began to narrow, but there was still no exit in sight.

"It's a long tunnel!" Hercules sighed.

"That's true!" Blake continued.

"It's not the end of the road yet, and I'm feeling very irritable!" Hercules grumbled.

"Alas! Don't say that! Blake waved his hand and smiled, "Maybe the wave of people who went out ahead is preparing a celebration feast for us!" ”

After listening to Blake's words, Hercules stretched out his finger and tilted his head, smiled at Blake, nodded, and said, "It's yours!" ”

Blake smiled, then smiled without saying a word.

Then, Hercules opened the conversation box again and asked, "I said, Blake, don't stay in the power city, come here to be my deputy, don't you feel aggrieved?" ”

"No! I'm not a deputy in Power City! Blake replied with a wink.

"How is that the same? In Power City, it's a deputy city lord level, and the treatment is much better than here! Hercules said.

"No, no, no!" Blake stopped Hercules and said, "There is no problem with the Radamandis City Lord in Power City now, but it is imperative to obtain the Ice Crystal as soon as possible and restore the Streamer to normal." Besides, it's an eventful time, and you don't have enough people here. ”

Hercules sighed and said; "Yes! Now the elite troops are basically sent to the streamer layer. Whether it's from Lamian City, Power City, or Twilight City, I always feel more struggling. ”

"Of course, it's really hard for you to support it alone."

"Yes!" Hercules nodded, and said, "If it had been changed to before, with a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand troops, the matter would have been settled a long time ago!" ”

"This is also something that can't be helped, I hope that this time I can successfully obtain the ice crystal and solve the incident of the streamer layer as soon as possible, so that everything can return to normal!"

"Hmmm! I hope so! ”

While the two of them were chatting, they had already reached the end of the tunnel.

"What's going on?" Hercules shouted.

It turned out that the end of the tunnel was not an exit, but a dead end.

"Slow! Let me go and see it! At this moment, Blake stepped forward alone, knocking on the large ice block blocking the way.

"Knock knock!" After a few beatings, Blake said, "It's hollow, and the front is definitely an exit." ”

"Then how is there such a large block of ice blocking the exit, and how did the previous prisoners get through?" Hercules crossed his hands on his hips and frowned, puzzled.

"Don't worry, let me take a look!" Blake then switched his weapon to a hot spear of light and stabbed at the corners of the ice.

After a while, cracks gradually appeared in the corners of the large ice blocks.

After a "click", a few corners of the ice fell off, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in through the gap.

At this time, Hercules shouted outside the cave, "Guide, what are you doing?" Get rid of the ice! ”

As soon as Hercules' words fell, there was movement outside the cave, as if a large number of people had gathered in front of the ice.

"Hurry up and get rid of it! Otherwise, the snowman will catch up and be in trouble! Hercules continued to shout when he saw someone responding.

Everything seemed to be calm, but at this moment, countless light arrows suddenly shot in from the gap outside the cave.

Seeing this, Hercules instinctively fell to the ground and shouted, "Lie down! ”

After the rain of arrows passed, Hercules took a look, and this wave of oolongs had led to the sacrifice of dozens of berserkers. He looked at the entrance of the cave again, and found that Blake was sitting on the ground leaning against a large block of ice, and the bright red blood on his arm was dripping down the ice, which was particularly conspicuous.

"Blake, how are you?" Hercules asked as he slowly crouched closer.

"It's okay! I didn't react for a while, and I was hit by two arrows in the arm. Blake replied slowly as he covered the wound with his hand.

"It's okay!" Then, Hercules looked up and shouted, "Guide, you're against the sky! Do you know how many of your own people were injured by mistake just now! ”

There was no echo outside, but the sound of footsteps was noticeable.

Seeing that there was no response outside the cave, Hercules was angry, and shouted angrily: "Don't think that if you don't speak, I won't know that you are outside, wait for me to go out and clean you up!" ”

"Hahaha!" Immediately, there was a strange laugh outside the cave.

"Who are you? What about the guide? Hercules asked, stunned for a moment, his eyes wide.

"The wizard has been disposed of!" The man who let out the strange smile continued to say proudly, "Hercules, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out!" The snowman should be coming over and serving you all in a pot! ”

"Not good! Those prisoners have defected! Blake's eyes lit up and he understood.

When Hercules heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "What? How can this be reasonable, you prisoners do not reflect on their work, and even stab you in the back, if you want to commit it in my hands, you will definitely die a good death! ”

"Hahaha!" The strange laughter continued, "I believe this, but you don't have a chance!" ”

As soon as the strange laughter stopped, countless arrows of light shot in from the gap.

"Retreat!" Blake endured the pain and barely calmed down.

Hercules looked at the rain of arrows, closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, ordered: "Retreat, go back the way you came!" ”

As a result, everyone had no choice but to return along the way, but by this time the morale of the troops had been greatly reduced. And not long after walking, I happened to run into a snowman who came to pursue him. Suddenly, the morale of the troops began to be disheartened, and all kinds of negative emotions such as disappointment and despair filled everyone's faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be discouraged!" Hercules encouraged, "We've been through so many battles, big and small, what's wrong with that? Kill the past, kill a way! ”

Hearing Hercules' encouragement, everyone regained some confidence, but it didn't have much effect, and the already tired troops, after experiencing this series of things, many people had no intention of fighting.

Therefore, in the next counterattack, the snowman was still the same snowman, and there was no obvious change in number and combat effectiveness, but the Mayans fell to the ground one after another, and after a while, Hercules found that more than half of the troops had been lost.

"It's not a way to go on like this!" Blake said.

"What then?" Hercules asked, turning his head.

"Let me think!" Blake looked up, his face furrowed in thought. After about a few minutes, he gasped and shouted to Hercules: "Hercules with the troops, turn back!" ”

"What? We just came out of it and are going back? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Hercules asked, mouth wide open.

"Yes! Ordered to put! Blake nodded firmly.

"Okay!" Hercules breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Listen to the order, go back to the depths of the tunnel!" ”
