As the door opened, the scene on the second floor of Meta completely appeared in my eyes.

The mountain wind swept goose feather-sized snowflakes through the windows on both sides, and the strange thing was that these snowflakes disappeared the moment they touched the ground and walls.

In the middle of the space of more than 400 square meters is a huge ice coffin, which occupies more than one-third of the area of the second floor.

The two stout bodies of the hideous fat relics curled up motionless in the ice coffin, and they didn't know whether they were dead or asleep.

Except for this ice coffin, the second floor was empty at a glance.

I looked at Nick, who had his head to the side and motioned for me to follow him.

We carefully walked around the ice coffin from the right, and I noticed that there was another gate on the other wall facing the gate we had entered, which was open and connected to the same ice-carved mountain path as before.

Because when I first entered the door, my view was blocked by the ice coffin.

At first glance, I couldn't help but look at Nick in confusion.

Nick nodded to me, seemingly familiar with everything in the tower, and he led me around the ice coffin and out of Meta through the gate.

"Thank goodness."

About twenty meters away from Meta, where the Xuanshui Black Snake was located, Nick let out a sigh of relief and said, "Although these guys are not easy to talk to, they spend most of their time sleeping, and our luck is not bad. ”

"You knew there was this one in the tower from the beginning...... Belch...... Strange snakes? I wondered.

"It's the Xuanshui Black Snake High Priest," Nick raised his eyebrows, "In fact, more than ten years ago, our police department would send a few police officers to guard this iceberg every year to prevent ordinary people from casually breaking in and disturbing these ...... Belch...... The archshaman with an eccentric temper hibernates. ”

"Then why didn't you send someone to guard it after that?"

"Because most of the citizens of Animal City already know the peculiarities of this place, and we have also installed surveillance cameras, far from the square, we will warn some curious citizens, or friends from the countryside like you, to leave this place."

"Oh," I thought for a moment and asked, "why is this called the Glacier Cemetery?" Are those so-called high priests dead or alive? ”

"Who knows? Maybe they're just sleeping," Nick shrugged, "I've heard they've been here since before they had Animal City, and I remember there's a technical term for scientific explanation of their current state called ...... Call...... What is the ...... It's the kind of half-dead that has a very slow heart......"

"Fake death?"

"That's right! It's fake death! ”

Nick slapped his palms, turned his head to look in the direction of the top of the mountain and said: "There is a lake on the top of this mountain, this lake is very strange, the temperature is very low, but the lake water in it does not freeze, after the death of some heroes who have made great contributions to Animal City, with the permission of the high priests, they can let their relatives sink their bodies into this lake." ”

"Sink into the lake?"

"Yes, it's a magical lake, everything freezes as soon as it falls into the water, and it stays in the same state as it was the moment it fell into the water......"

Nick grimaced: "According to those high priests, one day, these corpses will come back to life... Haha, I don't believe it anyway... So this iceberg is also a cemetery. ”

We chatted a few words and continued on our way.

On the way, I asked Nick if he had ever seen these high priests awake, and he said that these high priests would wake up once or twice every few years, but they all had strange tempers, and sometimes even went crazy and attacked the police.

According to Nick, several police officers have been attacked and killed by these high priests, but the higher-ups of Animal City forbade any citizens to take revenge on them, including the police.

Moreover, these high priests are all immortal, and it is said that even a bullet cannot leave a single scar on them.

……

I followed Nick with a heavy heart, and the Black Snake ...... Fat ...... Could this guy's current state be related to the wisp of remnant soul attached to Zhang Lin's body before?

I had the feeling that what I had seen before was just a shell......

……

After walking for about another hour or so, we saw a second huge structure embedded in an iceberg.

This is also a meta, which is almost identical to the previous one except for the gold inscription on the door plaque.

"What do you call this tower?"

"Hmm...... This is the Temple of the Ultimate," Nick patiently explained, "Legend has it that there was once a supreme god in our world, called the Ultimate Emperor, and there are monuments left by him in many parts of this world, and the most of them are the temple buildings in front of you. ”

"And then?"

"What later? I haven't seen these gods or anything anyway, and I think these monuments are just the products of the last civilization...... Do you believe in these things? Nick smiled and patted me on the shoulder, stepping into the Temple of the Endless. ”

"God ......"

I shook my head with a wry smile and muttered, "I haven't seen him, but he was still chatting with me just now......"

Temple of the Endless ...... Mehta...... I think of these two terms a few times in my head.

No end ...... No end ...... Isn't there no end, is the so-called "Meta" actually "no tower" in the mouth of the ancients?

I glanced at the door plaque, and it was also a golden inscription, which means "frog".

Frog?

If my guess is correct, there is probably a river temple lying on the second floor of this temple.

Ever since I saw the fat relic, I've become a little more convinced of what Suzaku said at that time.

Although I don't know how this world calls the legendary creatures of the River Temple, it is clear that these mythical creatures are called differently here according to the names on the golden text.

"What's the fuss? Come on......" Nick beckoned to me in the door, and I stepped into the threshold, the first floor was also empty, except for a plaque, and this time before I could identify it, Nick took the initiative to say: "Anemo Frog." ”

Well, Aeolus Frog...... I can't wait to see what this so-called Anemo frog looks like......

……

We went up to the second floor and pushed open the door......

In the center of the second floor, there was also a huge ice coffin, and a giant cyan creature with wings lay in it like a small mountain, its eyes slightly closed, motionless......

Really......

With bulging eyes, bulging skin, and a frog-like body, it has a pair of fleshy wings, and its palms are webbed, like eagle claws......

This guy is indeed the same as the rumored characteristics of the River Temple.

I couldn't help but think of the cunning frog that had been attached to the mink before......

……

The river temple was now in suspended animation, and Nick and I skimmed around it and headed straight for the trail behind......
