Chapter 8: The Ancient Ice City
After walking for more than ten minutes, the scene that appeared in front of us shocked us incomparably, in front of us was actually the gate of an ancient building.
And the most unbelievable thing is that the gate of this ancient building, the appearance is white, but not that pure white, it looks more like it was made of ice, the city wall is rectangular, the wall is about 12 meters high, the bottom is between 15 and 18 meters wide, and the top is between 12 and 14 meters wide.
The length of the walls on both sides is not clear, it is simply endless, the top of the city gate is composed of arrow towers and city towers, the gate tower is in the outermost, it is used to lift the suspension bridge, the arrow tower is in the middle, there are square windows on the front and both sides, it is the place where the archers shoot arrows.
The main building is in the innermost, it is the main gate of the city gate, the arrow tower and the main building are normally connected by a wall, this area is called the urn city, it is used to station soldiers, this is also what I am most worried about, once inside, if there is an ambush, we may be the turtle in the urn.
The gates of the city wall were open, as if to welcome us, but here it was like a dead city, there was no breath of the living at all, the whole gate was empty, there were no officers and soldiers on it, and there were no people walking below.
Except for this ice-like city gate, there is nothing to see around, thinking about Zhuge Liang's empty city plan back then, it is estimated that it is not as scary as the situation in front of him, at least there is one more person, but there is no one near this city gate.
"Oh my God, what is this?" Junko looked at the city gate in front of him, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide, his expression was nothing but surprise.
"It's the city gate, the ancient city gate." Jiao Ba's brows tightened, and he looked up at the city gate and said.
"Mother, this... There's an ancient city gate here, the... The fuck we're not going to travel through time, are we? The big man was completely dumbfounded, but looking at his expression, he was still a little excited.
"I think it's like, maybe it's really crossed." Now even Junko is going crazy with it.
"It's really getting farther and farther, where is there anything that travels through time and space, this is a city gate, but... It looks more like a city gate made of ice. Chang Shan said calmly.
"The first time I saw it, it also felt like it was made of ice, and I have seen many ancient city gates, but none of them are of this color." This city gate is too weird, the most important thing is that we are on the sea, how can we still encounter such a thing, I really can't understand.
"It seems that we underestimate the environment here, on the surface, this place is not as terrible as the island, but the more you go inside, the more terrible things will be, and now even the ancient city gate has come out, what do you think will be inside this city gate?" Jiao Baxie smiled, looked at us and asked.
This grandson, at this time, he can still laugh, this is really not in a hurry at all, Jiao Ba's thinking is not understood by ordinary people.
"Who knows what the hell is here, I am scared when I look at this city gate." Junko shuddered.
"Here... What is this place? We... Where the hell have we gone? "Iron Mask, who hasn't spoken all this time, finally spoke, and I thought he was dying.
"Where's it? Hey... This is the legendary hell, and this gate is the entrance to hell, how about it? Haven't seen it before, right? Jiao Ba hugged Tiemian's neck, looked at him with a hippie smile and said, I really convince him, it's all at this time, and I still have the heart to tease the boring child.
"Huh?? Earth... Hell? You guys... No kidding, okay? I... I don't want to die yet. Iron Mask was frightened, he was already injured, and if he was scared like this, his legs could hardly stand.
It's no wonder that they are just sailors who go to sea, where they have experienced these things, they can be afraid, it means that they are normal people, when we just encountered these unbelievable horrors, we were the same as him, afraid of death and life, but with the development of things, although the courage did not increase much, but at least than ordinary people "Okay, don't scare him, if you really scare him, you carry him." I glared at Jiao Ba and said sharply.
Jiao Ba turned his head to look at the city gate, and said with an ugly face, "I hope what I said is a joke." ”
It seems that this city gate has brought Jiao Ba a great sense of depression, and the previous smile should have been deliberately pretended, which can make him so nervous, it seems that the problem is not small.
"Mai Lao, will they have already gone in?"
I just thought that Mai Lao and they were probably already in the city, and I don't know what happened to them now, I was very worried about them, and I haven't seen anyone until now, and it's still unknown whether they are alive or dead.
Chang Shan said with a calm face, "They must have gone in, everyone put on the bullets and get ready to go." ”
We carried a lot of weapons with us, and there were hundreds of bullets on average, and the average person had to have hundreds of bullets, and the scattered bullets were not counted, but there were five per person in the magazine, which should be enough for us to fight.
Grenades and knives are also necessary to carry with us, and the equipment we are equipped with can be compared to any army, if you don't know, you will think that we are mercenaries.
Just as we were about to leave, I suddenly grabbed Changshan and said, "Wait, let me ease it a little longer." "I don't know why, my heart is so nervous, my heart is 'thumping', I really feel like I am going through the ghost gate again.
Chang Shan looked at me with a strange gaze, not only himself, but also several other people, very strange eyes.
"It's not... Why are you looking at me like that? "I don't understand it, it's too unified.
"You're scared too?" Chang Shan asked in surprise.
"Like, why are you scared sometimes?" The big man glanced at me with disdain.
I sneered and said, "You will all be afraid, why don't I know to be afraid?" I'm a human, but I'm a little bit more daring than you. ”
"Wow, I always thought you didn't have the nerves to be afraid." The big man really looks down on me.
"Okay, Brother Yi, let's almost go." Jiao Ba urged.
I readjusted my mentality, shook my head, and walked towards the city gate.
It is not clear from the outside that the inside of the gate is not because of the fog, but because it is vague, and I can't tell why, in short, it is blurry.
When we walked to the gate of the city, I obviously felt that there was a very heavy yin qi in it, I didn't know much about these so-called yin qi at first, but after following Jiao Ba for a long time, I could learn a little bit from him.
I stopped and said, "I feel a heavy yin aura in here. ”
"Oh? How do you feel it? Jiao Ba turned his head to look at me, with surprise in his eyes.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, it's just the feeling, but it's not the same as the smell of the island, I can't tell." "I'm not a professional after all, so it's nice to be able to analyze it like this.
"Your self-learning ability is really strong, there is indeed a lot of yin qi here, and this yin qi is evil." Jiao Ba's original smiling face disappeared in an instant.
"Is this gate really made of ice?" As I spoke, I reached out and tried it, and when my hand touched the city wall, a strong cold air spread all over my body along my palm, and I shivered all over my body.
Jiao Ba knocked my arm off next to him, "Are you crazy?" This cold will freeze you to death. ”
I shuddered, "I don't know, I just want to see if this is made of ice." ”
"Don't guess, everything here is ice, let's go, everyone be careful."
Chang Shan greeted, we followed him into the inside of the city gate, after passing through the city gate, the first is the urn city, this is the place where the soldiers are stationed, that is, the position I was most worried about before, this is a semicircle.
If there was an ambush above, the city gate would suddenly close, and the six of us would have nowhere to hide, so Chang Shan made a gesture at this time, meaning that we should observe the surrounding situation while walking.
I kept my eyes on the top of the urn city, I always felt as if someone was watching us here, very uncomfortable, my heart has always been uneasy, but after looking around, there is nothing around, maybe I am too careful.
"After looking around, I didn't find anything, this ghost place, it is estimated that there will be nothing except dead people." The big man opened his mouth to curse.
"Don't talk nonsense, if there are only dead people, then Mai Lao and the others are all dead." Junko reminded him next to him.
The big man slapped himself in the face with his hand, "Oh, look at my stinky mouth, talking nonsense." ”
"Stay quiet and don't say useless words." Chang Shan walked in front and said with a side face.
Just as we were about to walk through the urn city, I inadvertently turned my head to look up, and in the rightmost position of the urn city, there was actually a white figure, yes, it was a white person, although the outline was a little blurred, but it could still be seen.
But I can't see his appearance at all, its whole person is like an ice cube, in a translucent state, the whole body is almost the same color as the city wall, under normal circumstances, it should be difficult to find its existence, one is because there is no sunlight here, and the other is its color, almost making it invisible, like a chameleon, forming a bright protective color.
If it weren't for the perspective I'm in now, I still wouldn't be able to see it, is it a person or what? Or, is this what Chang Shan said about the Ice Demon? It only had a humanoid form, and it was completely unreadable in terms of appearance and clothing, and I didn't know what it was trying to do.
I stared at it closely, but there was an inexplicable sense of depression in my heart, as if it was fear, and it seemed to bring me an unknown fear, which was stronger than what came directly.
"Brother Yi, what are you doing? Let's go. Jiao Ba saw that I had stopped, turned around and shouted at me.
I put my finger out and said, "There seems to be someone there." ”
"What? Someone? As soon as they heard what I said, they all ran over, but as soon as they came, the white figure disappeared in an instant, and this time it was as if the world had evaporated, without any warning, and suddenly it was gone
