Chapter Twenty-Six: The Extreme Cold Zone
More than a dozen frost trolls escaped from the mountains in embarrassment, and galloped to 2 miles away on skateboards, each of them covered with a layer of ice that was difficult to melt, although it was not thick, but it caused more severe frostbite.
Zanla stood in the middle of the frost trolls, and the embarrassment of the advance team made him frown slightly, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
A search centurion in the advance team stood up and said, "Elder of the Zanla Corps, the ice attribute energy in the ice mist is very strong, even if an excellent troll warrior walks inside, it won't take three or five minutes to be frozen." This iceberg area is completely covered with ice fog, and we have to wait for the ice fog to clear before we can enter it. ”
Zanla raised her head, her eyes cold, staring coldly at the iceberg, now the area of more than ten miles was shrouded in blue ice mist, so it was impossible to make out what was inside.
"Captain Corps." This is another search centurion gliding in, "near the iceberg, there are traces of armored vehicles moving. ”
"Is it the Snow Clan?"
"Not ruled out, but unlikely. It is suspected that it is an alien race, and judging by the track traces of armored vehicles, it is suitable for land and mountain advances, which are relatively backward. The Snow Clan improved the track mechanism more than 100 years ago and adopted a more efficient and lightweight track structure. ”
Zanla decided to personally go into the iceberg to investigate, but as soon as he stepped into the iceberg, the cold ice attribute energy, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, immediately covered his body and was constantly eroding his body. Zamla uses the Frost Troll's unique secret technique to form a thick layer of ice on the surface of his body, which is used to protect his body from harm.
There is no effect.
The ice energy contained in the blue-white ice mist is like a poisonous needle thinner than a cow's hair, which actually penetrates the ice layer and acts directly on the body.
Life continues to dwindle.
Zanla is strong and has the confidence to hold on for a while, but it makes no sense, the four fields are obscured by ice fog, ordinary shili is greatly affected, and the thermal vision ability is even more useless. This environment is not conducive to detection. Stay for half an hour and get nothing but exit the iceberg.
The ice fog is gradually dissipating.
The frost trolls have no choice but to wait patiently.
Zanla gave the order: "Stay around!" "Give up investigating the vision for the time being, but don't delay the investigation of the treasure," immediately chisel through the ice on the ground and find the location of the treasure hall! ”
"Yes!"
………
Ice shijie, grand and magnificent, dark and deep!
Dozens of mercenaries walked for more than an hour.
The first-level ice ladder, descending from the inside of the hollow column, stretching out into the bottomless darkness, the magic torches burning weakly, and the crisp snapping sound of the combat boots stepping on the ice is the only sound in the mysterious shijie.
Another hour of walking.
The icy darkness of shijie is almost insane, the depth is increasing, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and a large amount of ice powder is floating in the air that can be seen by the naked eye. At this moment, the ambient temperature is much lower than the night of the ice field, and everyone's hands and feet are numb, affected by the frost effect, and their activities are affected to a certain extent.
Chen Tingting and Qin Xiaoshi put on several sets of snow bear fur coats they had prepared, but they still didn't feel warm, so they could only use torches to warm their little hands from time to time.
"Ah, what's that!"
Du Rongrong screamed in fright.
Lei Ming asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Du Rongrong pointed to the ice wall and said, "There's something in here!" ”
Everyone cast suspicious glances, and someone shone a torch at the ice wall, which was three feet thick and almost completely transparent, and under the light of the fire, it revealed a deep blue, like a large piece of immaculate and pure jade.
Du Rongrong scratched her head: "No, I obviously saw it!" ”
Huang Tian said to the priest, "Use lighting magic!" ”
Lin Caiyan, including the priests, all cast the light F+ level spell [Light Technique], which basically has no attack effect, but it has a certain deterrent effect on dark and undead monsters, and it is very suitable for lighting in a dark environment.
Four luminous energy balls, rising from the steps, each ball of light illuminates a range of 20 meters, Lin Caiyan's spirit is the highest, the ball of light can illuminate a range of 40 meters, and the whole piece is presented in front of you, which is simply unobstructed.
When the crowd saw nothing, they thought it was a false alarm.
A huge black shadow swept through the ice wall.
"Huh?!"
The crowd clenched their weapons.
The mourning dog frowned and said, "There is really something!" ”
Zhang Mu recognized the shape of the black shadow, nodded and said, "A fish!" ”
The fat man was surprised: "Do fish live in ice?" ”
Long Hao said: "Our current position is about 300-400 meters of the ground ice, and the average thickness of the ice is about 200 meters. If we cut through the ice, the bone-chilling waters would completely submerge it. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable
How did you go so deep?
At this time, if the ice wall is broken, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, there is only one way to die!
However, the ice wall is as hard as iron, and it is 120 meters thick, so unless the ice wall is subjected to a great external impact, there is no need to worry about being submerged by the sea.
Everyone continued to walk.
About another hour of walking.
"Now the depth is 600-700 meters below the surface ice!" Zhang Mu was so cold that his teeth were trembling, and his fingers were already frozen, "Finally...... In the end! ”
The spiraling ice staircase came to an end, and the mercenary walked into an underground ice cave. A football field is the size of a football field, lined with icicles, and of various shapes, like a cave.
There were ice pools of various sizes, about fourteen or fifteen, on the ground, which were filled with a kind of blue water that shimmered slightly.
[Inferior Frozen Water], an E-class material, is a kind of magic mineral water, which can maintain the form of water at an ultra-low temperature of minus 100 degrees.
"It's a good material, I've seen it in the library." Leng Yun whispered: "Drinking frozen water in moderation can effectively heal fire attribute damage. In addition, this water is widely used in alchemy and forging, and has the effect of maintaining stability and increasing the success rate. ”
This water is not ordinary water, it is an alchemical material.
A whole dozen pools.
It's worth at least a few million gold!
I didn't bring a container, I could only look at it, not take it away.
A few unreliable mercenaries put their hands in, but they were frozen in an instant, and their entire palms turned into popsicles.
"It's a pity!"
The mercenary felt very sorry.
If the frozen water can be carried out, even if Zhang Mu sells it in bulk to the mysterious merchant, he will be able to make a lot of money. This material can only be generated in an extremely cold environment, it is a good medicine for treating fire and alleviating fire damage, and the mysterious merchant buys it in large quantities, and then has to resell it in the extremely hot area, and the value will immediately increase several times!
In addition, frozen water can increase the success rate and improve the quality to a certain extent when used in alchemy and forging.
The wider the range of materials, the easier it sells!
More than a dozen pools of frozen water.
The devil knows how many bottles it can hold, and the conservative estimate is above 2 million gold coins!
If you put it in other areas, especially in the hot lava fields, the value will increase by about 3 times.
A mercenary asked, "Is this the treasure?" ”
"No, it's valuable, but it's not a treasure." Long Hao replied, "It's just a naturally formed magic material in the environment. ”
Lei Ming couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't entered the treasure, I have already made amazing discoveries, it's really worth the trip!" ”
Lin Caiyan wrapped her head around a thick snow bear and said, "We'...... Let's go, it's too cold in here, stay a second longer, and you'll freeze. ”
Probably due to the influence of the frozen water pool, combined with the depth of 700 meters, the temperature here is extremely low.
Every time I breathe, there is an extremely fine white powder in the ice mist that is sprayed, and there is also a light and thin powder in the surrounding environment, like snowflakes, which are not snowflakes, but at extremely low temperatures, carbon dioxide becomes solid, which is the so-called dry ice.
Every inhale is painful!
If you change to the human physique of the earth, let alone carry out treasure hunting activities, it will not take 5 minutes to stand, and your lungs will be frostbitten.
Mercenaries prepare some potions, scrolls, or magic items that temporarily increase ice resistance in advance, and use the items to relieve them whenever they feel that they can't hold on. This place is not a good place to stay for long, so find the treasure as soon as possible!
Dozens of mercenaries groped their way in the dark space under the ice.
Outside the frozen water pool, mercenaries can find several kinds of ice crystals and ice magic crystals, which are about level 2-4 precious materials!
Because it was wrapped in thick ice, it was not easy to collect, so I gave up digging for the time being.
"Find a door!"
The mercenaries carpet searched and found a metal door sealed in ice.
Because metal doors made of silver alloy are very different colors from ice cubes, they are easy to find. When the mercenaries shatter the outer layer of ice, they use flames to blast the metal door, causing the ice to melt through the cracks.
This door is more like a goblin made, very precise and meticulous, full of science and technology, no need to brute force cracking, a famous thief in China station to learn [super lockpicking], after a few attempts, the door was opened, and a stream of ice water surged in the moment of opening, in this environment, if it was wet with water, there was absolutely no good end, everyone quickly dodged away, when the channel water almost flowed in, a narrow passage was presented in the field of vision.
Zhang Mu looked along the passage, the passage was like a thin crystal pipe, it seemed to be very fragile, extending from the underground space into the endless dark ice ocean, and at the end of the passage, it was faintly glowing, but he couldn't see what it was.
"The water is not drained."
"Step on the ice floes and try not to get wet."
Dozens of mercenaries began to act, all of them entered the crystal pipe, there was darkness all around, the crystal pipeline was quite thin, if it was broken, dozens of people would be submerged in ice water in an instant, and they would be buried in the endless dark and cold ice sea forever.
From time to time, dark shadows flickered.
The giant fish or monster in the ice sea is wandering around.
Dozens of people were cautious, and they didn't dare to beat the torches, for fear of angering the mysterious creatures.
In fact, within ten minutes of walking out, most people's bodies have been drenched more than half, frozen and shivering.
"Hold on for a few minutes, and you'll be there!"
The glimmering exit is getting closer and closer.
The mercenaries fantasized about the Ice King's endless treasures, and couldn't help but ignore the physical pain, and all of them sped up and moved forward.
The exit is just around the corner.
