Chapter 143: Paste Condensation

The other members of the Western Expedition who lived in the passage also couldn't sleep because they couldn't stand the abnormal cold, so they tightened their collars and got out of the passage. When they saw me standing stiff in the snow, looking behind them with a frightened face, they all turned around curiously. As a result, everyone was frightened by the terrifying and strange scene in front of them, and they took dozens of steps back.

Kun Ba suddenly jumped behind me, hid and kept muttering: "Don't believe it's an illusion, it's an illusion, it's definitely an illusion." ”

Hearing Kun Hachi muttering behind me that it was a hallucination, I immediately became suspicious, and thought to myself: these snow monsters, which have been transformed from toothpaste-like paste, are just standing upright in front of the rock wall, and do not move. Could it be that they are just the product of illusions, not real creatures, so they are not attackable?

Perhaps the Snow Maiden who left earlier was not reconciled, so she used a terrifying trick to intimidate us. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become bolder, and slowly walked towards the white snow monster.

The appearance of the snow monster is almost not much different from that of humans, it can be said that it is an enlarged version of humans, with a tall body, large facial features, and white hair all over its body, which does look a little like an ape.

When everyone saw me boldly approaching, they all gathered around, and the fat man looked at the white-haired snow monster who was as immobile as a snow sculpture and said, "Lao Zheng, what's the matter?" Toothpaste can turn into a snow monster! But why doesn't this thing move? ”

The dude's hands were constantly rubbing to keep warm, and his face stiffened, "Brother, why do I feel so cold all of a sudden." My body was about to freeze. ”

The paste-like object was still squeezing out of the black cracks, and the temperature around it was getting colder and colder. I said to the fat man beside me, "These snow monsters can't move now. But I don't know if it will move in the future, and don't forget, there have been footprints left by them on the snow before. Also, the temperature in the snow valley has been dropping sharply all the time, and even if the snow monsters don't attack us, we will freeze to death sooner or later, so we should hurry up and start the campfire to keep warm. Stop wasting time standing here stupidly. With that, he turned and walked to the nearby forest, thinking of picking up some dead wood and broken branches.

Fire. Now it is absolutely indispensable and the only life-saving measure.

The members of the Western Expedition team quickly moved into action, and the temperature in the snow valley plummeted so much that my eyebrows and eyes were on my eyebrows. Soon a layer of frost froze. It didn't take long for the bangs on the forehead to be dyed white.

The wood was quickly collected, but the bonfire could not be lit for half a day, and all the wood was frozen like a popsicle, and could not be burned at all.

I felt my body stiffen and stiff, my fingers and toes were numb and unconscious, and my mouth was frozen. Can't talk to people around me at all.

All the people in the Western Expedition Team are silently doing their best to make fire. But the movements slowly became more and more sluggish.

If the bonfire doesn't go up, it won't be long before we freeze to death and become ice sculptures like snow monsters.

Tianyu has been shrinking in the passage, I didn't let her out, the passage is blocked by the wind, slightly warmer than in the snow valley. But I glanced at her just now, and her condition was obviously quite bad, and she was in a state of drowsiness all the time, and it was easy to lose temperature and freeze to death due to lethargy, and she couldn't wake up. But I couldn't help her with anything, and now I had to do everything I could to build a bonfire to save everyone's lives.

The fifth master in front of me has turned into a white-bearded old man, and the eight mouse whiskers on Kun Ba's mouth have also turned white, and they are very funny like snot, hanging on his lips.

The fat man combed his board inches in winter and summer, and I could clearly see that there was a layer of frost on the skin of his brain.

The cold was like a sharp blade, first cutting the skin, then cutting the muscles and bones, and finally invading the bone marrow, and I felt like my brain was about to be frozen into ice ballast. But the bonfire just couldn't be lit again, and my snot was hanging down my lips, and tears were about to flow out.

The fat man's hands were frozen, and he couldn't draw matches anymore, and the lighter in the playboy's hand fell off his hands again and again, and fell on the cold snow, and I even had the heart to drill wood for fire.

The movement of the crowd in the cold wind became more and more sluggish and stiff. Everyone's hair and eyebrows were almost dyed white, their lips were purple, and they couldn't stop shivering in the cold wind, and they were about to be unable to stand it.

In the cracks of the pitch-black rock wall, lumps of white paste continue to fall, and then solidify into snow monster snow sculptures. The surrounding temperature is still dropping, and the white gas exhaled from the mouth seems to be frozen into ice mist in an instant.

The unusually cold brought cold despair, and I just glanced again at the passage, where the rain was like a frozen ice sculpture, leaning against the rock wall. I was very worried, but now I couldn't leave, and everyone who could still move gathered around the campfire and tried to make it as best I could.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone's body temperature continued to pass with time, and slowly, everyone's faces gradually showed a look of despair.

Suddenly, I heard a thud and someone fell to the snow.

The person who fell was Chen Dong, who squatted on the ground, his feet were numb from the cold, and as a result, his body was unstable, and he suddenly leaned forward and fell to the snow. His father hurriedly checked his state and found that Chen Dong could no longer stand up on his own, and if he continued like this, he would have to amputate his leg, so he quickly picked him up, walked into the passage, and then put him on the ground, removed his shoes and socks, and kept rubbing his toes and calves with snow.

My tears flowed uncontrollably, and then in an instant they formed ice slag on my face and fell to the snow. My fingers were already frozen, and I kept putting my hands to my mouth to keep warm, but it couldn't relieve the cold stiffness of my fingers.

"Bang", another person fell into the cold snow, it was Kunba's subordinate Xiao Bump. Kun Hachi hurriedly pulled him up from the snow, but his own center of gravity was unstable, and the two of them fell to the snow again. I barely opened my frozen mouth and said to the fat man next to me, "You go and get them into the passage." ”

The fat man nodded stiffly, stood up very slowly, staggered to the front of Kun Ba and the others, helped the two of them up from the ground, and then supported them one by one towards the entrance of the passage.

Now the only people who are around the fire are me, Fifth Master Cha, and the three of Playboy. But the three of us were not much better, and I saw that the dude's face turned from pale to red, and then to a little purple, and I knew that the skin on his face was frostbitten, and even if he returned to a warm place, he would definitely feel itchy when the cold wind swept over his cheeks. And I'm in the same situation as him now, with frostbite in multiple parts of my body.

Sadness welled up in my heart, and I felt that the remaining ten members of the Western Expedition Team might all be frozen to death in this strange snow valley.

At this time, I remembered that when I was a child in my hometown in Northeast China, I was mischievous with the fat man and tricked a playmate into a big snow shell, so that he almost froze to death. Although we were ignorant at the time, we almost made a big mistake because of naughty. But retribution has come, and my current experience should be exactly the same as the pain my playmate suffered at the beginning!

My consciousness is getting more and more blurred, the figure of my childhood playmate is constantly swaying in front of my eyes, I want to reach out and grab him, but I don't have any strength, I feel that my head is very uncomfortable, and I feel that I am going to faint at any time. I knew very well in my heart that I had reached the limit, and maybe if I had to close my eyes in a trance, I would never be able to open them again.

At this time, if you close your eyes with peace of mind, you will be away from all pain and sorrow forever. Sooner or later, people will die, and since you can't choose when you are born, you can choose when to die, and it is not in vain to live. Thinking of this, I closed my eyes in peace of mind and sat down on the ground.

Suddenly, the playboy who had been crouching beside me suddenly shouted, "Ohgod, I remembered." After saying that, he stood up abruptly and staggered into the passage not far away.

I was startled by the dude's screams and opened my eyes to find him rummaging through his backpack in the passageway. Then he quickly turned and slipped out of the passage, pulled me up from the snow in shock, and handed me an oiled paper bag. I opened it and saw that it was a bag of sulfur.

It turned out that when he was in the cave group underground, the playboy felt that sulfur had a lot of uses, both for medicine and for gunpowder, so he collected some sulfur condensate, hoping that it could come in handy in the future. As a result, I didn't expect that in this great calamity, it is really thanks to these sulfur that we are saved from the danger of freezing to death.

Playboy and I immediately picked out some dry trees, smeared sulfur on them, and started lighting fires. After a few more attempts, the campfire was finally lit.

I almost burst into tears of laughter when I watched the dancing flames, and I fell in love with the beautiful colors of the flames. At this time, everyone gathered in front of the fire one after another to keep warm, and I also carried Tianyu out of the passage and walked straight to the front of the fire.

The warm light of the fire was reflected on everyone's faces, and many people couldn't help but smile with relief, and the rain also woke up in the warm firelight, and I stared at her red little face, unable to speak for a long time.

We experienced a terrifying attack of alien charges in a narrow ice valley, a bitter white mist, and a terrifying vampire spirit, only to be almost frozen to death in the end, which is really unexpected! (To be continued......)
