Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Ice Spider
Considering that it may be cold inside the Ice Palace, everyone wore the clothes and fire-making materials they had looted in the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info almost everyone carries a small bag on their backs in case of emergency.
On the ground of the forest, a variety of large trees took root, thick branches provided for the ground, and other unknown plants grew and spread everywhere, blooming with brilliant flowers. As far as the eye could see, there was no place to put their feet at all, and Li Chen, Chen Yang, and Zhang Qisheng could only take out their weapons to act as sickles and open up a way by themselves.
"The animals here are not afraid of people." According to the coordinates of the copy, when Chen Bai climbed over a tree root lying across the ground, he heard some slight sounds next to him. Chen Bai had the courage to push away the grass, only to see a deer tilting its head and biting the grass that was as high as it was next to it.
Xiaolu found Chen Bai and ran over to rub her.
"Don't run around, beware of danger." As soon as Chen Yang turned around, he found that his sister had actually played with a deer, and quickly caught Chen Bai back.
"We've only been walking for so long and we've only seen a few small animals, so it should be fine." Chen Bai touched the deer's chin and disagreed with Chen Yang's words.
"There shouldn't be any large beasts on the periphery of this forest, but it's easy to break away from the team if you're too far away." Chen Yang didn't know how to dissuade him, Li Chen noticed the situation here, at this time the two siblings were already several meters away from them, and if they didn't keep up, the surrounding weeds would block their view, and they would be separated from the team.
"Oh." Hearing Li Chen's voice, Chen Bai was a little reluctant to pat the deer's head and pulled Chen Yang to follow.
The more you go into the forest, the less light you get around, the ground becomes damp, and a lot of mud sticks to your feet when you step on it. The weeds also became low, and it was only possible to cover the vamp.
The color of the plants inside began to darken, from light green to dark green and then to dark black. In the end, not only the surface of the plant is dark, but even the cracks between the bark are black. The surrounding animals have also been replaced by dark species such as spiders and snakes.
Looking up at the sky, the sky has long been covered by branches and leaves, and some of the gaps are not completely covered, and they look like stars at night. In such a dark environment, the danger couldn't help but increase, and Li Chen and the others also grabbed a white flame arrow in their hands and marched in a circle. It's a bit slow, but it's safe.
"Don't you feel a little cold?" I don't know how long I left, the light in the gaps between the branches and leaves in the sky gradually dimmed, Ning Qin rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, and opened her mouth to speak, as if there was still a trace of white gas coming out.
"I feel cold too." Chen Yang echoed. The others raised their torches and noticed that at some point the plants around them had begun to appear with dots of hoarfrost. Men don't think it's too high to have a high body temperature, but girls are extremely sensitive to cold.
"It is estimated that it is getting closer and closer to the Ice Palace, and after some copies have existed for a long time, or the scale is huge, the aura inside will spread out." Li Chen glanced at his coordinates, and the distance of the Ice Palace was not far.
"Then let's take a rest on the spot, and by the way, let's find clothes to put on to keep out the cold." Li Chen stuck the flaming arrow in the dirt, and everyone still sat down in a circle.
Everyone has been gone for a day, although it is said that the appearance of white frost means that the ice palace copy is not far away, but it will still take some time to find the exact location. Continuing to walk in the cold is not good for either the individual or the team.
Since Li Chen spoke, everyone naturally sat down and began to rummage through the clothes to keep them warm and put them on their bodies. But when I rested, I still felt cold even when I put on my clothes. So Shi Jun Chen Yang went to the surrounding area to find some wood, planning to make a fire to warm his body.
Zhang Qisheng and Shan Mingyuan were walking around some big trees, there were many and damp trees here, and they saw if they could find some edible mushrooms to make soup and drink. Although they had anti-cold potions on them, they were clearly not the ones they use now. The satiety agent does not have the slightest temperature, so it can only attract the attention of mushrooms.
The only ones left behind were Ning Qin, Chen Bai and Li Chen. Chen Bai and Ning Qin bit their ears and didn't know what they were talking about, and they looked at him from time to time, not hiding their gaze at all.
This feeling of knowing that the other party was talking about himself, but it was difficult to stop it, Li Chen only felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, so he could only stand up and paced back and forth to watch the wind.
Fortunately, the others didn't go long ago, and after a while, they saw Zhang Qisheng and Shan Mingyuan coming back with a lot of things.
"Wow, you've had a great harvest." Chen Bai chatted with Ning Qin in an empty space, and when he came back with a flaming arrow, he hurriedly beckoned them over.
"It just so happened to happen." Zhang Qisheng untied the square cloth specially used to put mushrooms on the ground, and continued: "We found a fire that had been extinguished for a long time, and there were some mushrooms piled up next to the fire. I checked and found that they were all edible, so I brought them all back. ”
"There's a fire?" Li Chen, who was watching the wind from the sidelines, heard that there were other fires besides them, so he asked.
"yes, I was going to tell you." Shan Mingyuan replied, and by the way, he described the approximate location and situation of the fire.
Actually, the fire was not far from them, but according to the traces around them, it was obvious that they had come from a different road, and the number of people was about the same as ours. In addition, the fire had been extinguished for two or three days, so Li Chen's team did not notice that there were other people nearby.
"I don't know what's going on, but it looks like we should be in a hurry, and I won't leave mushrooms for us to pick if I don't let you." Although Zhang Qisheng sometimes speaks without his brain, he is still good at observation as a thief.
Li Chen pondered for a while, according to what the two said, what should have happened to that group of people. But what he didn't understand was that their maps were patchwork together, and the way to get them was not easy. It stands to reason that such a rare map is basically a one-time copy, that is, a copy that will disappear as long as someone clears the level, how can there be two maps of the secret passage of the Ice Palace.
Taking out the map, Li Chen planned to take a closer look, since he became the supreme commander of this team, the map was placed here for him, and it was very easy to view.
"Wait, you guys seem to be hearing something." Looking at it, Li Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and he took back the map and took out his one-handed sword.
Because it was so dark, they could only see the two meters of the flame arrows, and they couldn't see it clearly. The others who heard Li Chen's voice quickly took out their weapons as well, and their nerves immediately tensed.
Once attention was focused and there was no distraction from the sound of speech, the silence in the forest made it easy for everyone to discover the voices hidden in the darkness. In fact, many people are not afraid of the dark, but afraid of the unknown in the dark.
"shh It was as if something had crawled over the grass, and it felt like there were quite a few of them.
