I was dumbfounded, and the guards were already in front of us at some point. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At this time he was like a flood dike, and the surging white smoke was split in two in front of him. We hid behind him, just in time to avoid the white smoke.

When the monk looked at this situation, he thought that the Buddha had appeared, his eyes widened, and his bearded face was surprised and happy.

"Lao Tzu has the golden Buddha amulet, Amitabha, Amitabha..."

I doubt that the Buddha will bless us people, but I have a hunch that we don't have to die.

"When the cold clears, all retreat to the shore, move quickly, and remember not to stay on the ice." The guard said without looking back.

Several of us nodded.

"What about you? You're not coming with us? ”

He didn't answer, but stared at the Gargoyle King on the stone pillar, the expression on his face more solemn than ever. I followed his gaze and saw that the gargoyle kings were ready to move, but they were afraid of the guards, so they didn't attack for a long time. However, listening to their increasingly impatient roars, it seemed that the guards would not last long, and these ghost kings would pounce sooner or later.

At this time, the white smoke on the waterhole had already spread far away, and I suddenly understood the function of these black sarcophagi arranged in the waterhole. It can be said that the white smoke emitted by the jade coffin on the sacrificial platform is actually a kind of signal smoke, and whenever this signal smoke spreads near the black sarcophagus, the black sarcophagus will echo with it, and the white smoke will be emitted from the coffin to the surroundings again. According to the distribution of the black sarcophagus in the pool, this white smoke can completely envelop the entire underground pool, freezing any place without dead ends.

Suddenly, I understood the whole mechanism of action. If we hadn't chosen to go from the rope bridge to the altar in the middle of the waterhole, and had chosen to enter the waterhole in a different direction, then as soon as we stepped into the waterhole, the mechanism inside the black sarcophagus would have activated immediately. Almost instantly, all the black sarcophagus will have a chain reaction, quickly producing enough white smoke to cover the entire waterhole, and the speed at which we can escape for our lives is definitely not comparable to the speed at which the white smoke fills the water. In this case, we will surely die, and all of us will be frozen in the waterhole.

Immediately, I shuddered. In this way, every step we have taken before has been planned, and if we make a mistake in the middle, the result will definitely be unimaginable. There are no dead ends and seamless plans, the two are like an invisible game, and the impeccable thought and the smell of intrigue make me feel unprecedented fear, as if there is a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness around me, which is staring at me all the time, spying on my every move. And we're just pawns in the middle of the game, at their mercy. They already know what we're going to do next, and we're the only ones who keep it in the dark.

It's a conspiracy, but it's hidden so deep that I've always called it a coincidence. Until I became an insider, and I was deeply involved in it.

However, now, I have no power to change anything, I can only obediently listen to its words and follow its meaning. The white smoke from the waterhole was menacing, but it dissipated very quickly. Soon as far as our eyes could see, the white smoke had vanished, leaving almost no trace, as if they had never appeared. The only thing that proves that they actually existed is the endless ice pool in front of them. I know it must be counterintuitive, but it happens.

The guard gestured to us at this time, signaling that if he waved his hand, we would immediately withdraw to the shore.

Everyone nodded, and there was silence on the ice now, like a ghost field, without any signs of life activity. Before I could prepare, the guards suddenly waved us to evacuate. The monk was the first to run out, and I have to say that I have never seen anyone in my life run faster than him, and the speed is simply faster than that of a rabbit, even if I am given four legs, I may not be able to catch up.

I secretly cursed "no conscience", hugged the master back and forth with Cassia, and quickly withdrew to the shore.

The ice was thick enough to reach the river bank safely, but it was too slippery. As soon as I stepped on it, I was stumbling, and before my feet could exert force, my body could not be controlled, and I sat on the ice with my ass. Experienced people know that the most basic technique for walking on ice is to lower the weight of the body. Gradually, we began to feel the pattern, and the walking speed gradually increased. The monk in front had already run away, and the guards did not follow, and we were getting farther and farther away from the altar, shuttling through the sarcophagus group.

At this time, there were a few figurines on the ice, and we didn't plan to rest, so we went around the figurines and continued to run. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of the figurine nearby, its back looking very familiar.

I was stunned, and a thought flashed through my mind, the back of the figurine was very similar to the fourth camel, and he seemed to be trapped by the ice.

I immediately ran in his direction, and Cassia and Master asked me what I was doing. I remembered that the guards had warned us not to stay on the ice for a long time, so I shouted to Cassia and asked him to take the master first, and I would go to save the fourth.

Cassia had no choice, Master had to be taken care of by him, and they had to tell me to be careful. I nodded to reassure them and ran alone in the direction of the fourth camel.

"Fourth!"

Approaching the back, I shouted at him, but the fourth child did not react at all. I walked around to him from behind and found that the fourth child still maintained his habitual bending motion, but the whole person was frozen, and even his eyes were covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Fourth.."

Looking at the fourth child who did not have a trace of life in front of me, my heart trembled suddenly, and my eyes suddenly turned red. I knew in my heart that the fourth child was dead and had become an ice corpse.

At this moment, the voice of Cassia came from a distance, telling me to hurry back. I held back my tears, bowed to the fourth child, and then prepared to leave.

But just then, I suddenly felt the ice beneath my feet begin to shake slightly, and at the same time I heard a series of heartbreaking ice cracks. I said in my heart, is it possible that the ice is about to crack? When I looked down, I saw a crack in the ice winding from the feet of the fourth child towards me. Immediately afterward, I saw the body of the fourth child shake a few times, and then he began to sink into the water, very quickly. What's even worse is that before I could react, a ghost claw with five fingers stretched out of the crack, and the back of the claw was covered with scales. I didn't even have time to run, but the ghost claw grabbed my ankle, and I lost my balance and fell on the ice.

The devil's claws were as thin as dry wood, but his strength was great. I tried my best to climb forward, but there was no place on the ice for me to focus on.

I shouted for help, and at this time, on the ice, the body of the fourth child had already sunk first, and soon, I was also dragged down the ice.

The water under the ice was close to freezing, and the moment I fell into the water, I felt like I had been pricked by needles and almost fainted. The water was absolutely dark, barely visible, and the ghostclaws were still grabbing my ankles and pulling them to the bottom. The feeling of drowning almost broke me, and the fear of death was infinitely magnified, forcing me to struggle incessantly, my hands instinctively clutching in the water, trying to hold on to anything that could support me. In this extremely chaotic situation, I suddenly felt something floating in front of me, and I felt that it should be the corpse of the fourth child. I was just about to grab him, when suddenly a white shadow swam in front of me, very blurry, I wasn't sure if it was real or if it was a hallucination I had before I died. But then, I felt countless white shadows swim past me.

I'm like bait in a fishpond, and there must be a lot of these monsters gathered around at this point.

I was already in despair, the body of the fourth child must have suffered, and I was already drowning at this time, the panic of suffocation filled my brain, and the cold water was eating away at my physical strength. I don't have the strength to struggle, and all the feelings are leaving me. I was like a corpse, letting the ghost's claws pull me to the bottom.

I don't know how long this trance lasted, and there was a dead silence around me, and I thought I was dead. But the bottom of the water, which had been dead and silent, suddenly became noisy, as if someone had jumped into the water. Then I seemed to see a black shadow swimming towards me. I thought it was a hallucination, but immediately I felt someone pulling my hand and pulling me up, and then I was hugged by the waist. I couldn't see the man's face, but I was so confused that I couldn't even tell if it was real.

It wasn't until I resurfaced and someone grabbed my hand and dragged me to the ice that I realized in a trance that I was really saved.

Cassia and Master's voices echoed in my ears, they seemed to be calling my name, but their voices sounded very far away. I couldn't hear what they were saying, or even their faces, but I knew it was them.

I don't know where I got the strength, but I cried all at once, holding their hands and crying for my life. It was a warm feeling when someone put their arms around my neck and whispered something in my ear. Then I was picked up, and I could only see a vague figure in my eyes, but I thought it was Cassia. Then, the sensation in all parts of my body began to gradually recover, and what I saw and heard began to become layered.

I knew I had another life.

I desperately opened my eyes and saw Cassia running on my back to the shore.

After staying in ice water for so long, I don't know if there will be sequelae. The only thing I can feel right now is the cold. I pounded my front teeth, trembling so hard that I couldn't even spit out a word, and my body began to twitch.

"It's coming soon, it's going to be fine. Hold on a little longer, and you'll be there soon. Cassia shook violently, and his voice trembled a little.

I don't know what I'm feeling right now, as if everything has nothing to do with me, I just want to just go to sleep.

Cassia's voice was getting farther and farther away in my ears, and no matter how much I struggled, it was useless.

Finally, in the process of continuous trance, everything returned to darkness and calm.
