Chapter 0470: A chilling cicada appears in the ice cave
Darkness is scary because of the unknown, but in fact, any danger lurking in the unknown can make people uneasy.
The icefield was silent, and their breathing was audible, in stark contrast to the seemingly never-ending snowfall, as they were like disturbers intruding into a world of tranquility, ruining the otherwise silent atmosphere.
They flew cautiously along the ravine, both of them wary, because they didn't know if there were any living creatures on the snowy mountain, and because the raindrop showed them too deep a shadow.
The ravine was far deeper than they had imagined, and the twisted walls of ice were gloomy and dull, at first glance a dark grey, but that was only because of the reflection of the earth beneath the ice walls, which were in fact probably the cleanest and purest things in the world.
The snow-capped mountains stand quietly.
It was not tall, about three or four hundred zhang, but it was wide and heavy, and the snow covered it evenly, making it look like a white equilateral triangle, and the big hole under the snow-capped mountain was very deep, but it did not penetrate the whole peak.
There was something in it that blocked the drop of water that could kill the monk of the Hold a Realm.
It's just not clear if this thing is still alive.
In Su Qi's opinion, the possibility that it is still alive is too low, and at least tens of thousands of years have passed, even if it had not been killed by that drop of water at the beginning, presumably it would not have stayed here forever.
It's just a dead world, full of loneliness and depression, which only makes people mad in silence, and any living thing will want to escape from it.
The two fell in front of the snowy mountain.
This big cave is far bigger than it looks from the sky, the top of the cave is about ten zhang above the ground, the shape is very similar to the ravine, extremely narrow and deep, the top of the cave is hung upside down with a lot of ice cubes of a long length, because there is no invasion of flying snow in the cave, the ice cubes appear crystal clear, it looks like an upside-down ice forest, which shows that sometime in the past, the temperature here has risen, so that the ice and snow melt, but suddenly it becomes cold, freezing the snow water, forming this beautiful scenery.
If as expected, it should be the effect of that drop of water.
"I've never seen anything like it. Anya tilted her head and sighed slightly, "On the boundary road, there are not many secret places full of ice and snow, in my memory, I have only seen snow a few times, like this ice cube, I only heard Amma talk about it." ”
"I've seen it...... But I've never seen anything so spectacular. ”
In Qishan, winter is a very special season, and the two girls on the mountain, one likes winter very much, and the other hates it.
Zhao Riyue hated winter probably because it was no longer convenient to run around in the mountains after the snow, and there was a lot less fun, and at that time her realm was still low, and she couldn't resist the invasion of the cold.
But even Zhao Riyue, who doesn't like winter, also looks at ice and snow differently, building snowmen and having snowball fights, which Su Qi played with Zhao Riyue when she was a child, and after she practiced, she began to think about all kinds of novel ways to play, such as standing on the top of the mountain, facing the thick snow to make a green dragon sword trick, and suddenly there will be a snowstorm in the sky, the green dragon is wrapped in snowflakes, like a snow dragon drilled into the deep mountains, there is a very unique beauty.
In addition to playing in the snow, her second favorite is to poke the ice cubes hanging on the eaves, this is the winter will not pass, the spring is waiting for the time, can play the game, take the big bamboo pole behind the house, aimed at the ice cubes that reflect the sun, poke hard, the ice cubes will have a very crisp sound when they break, break into several pieces in the air, and fall to the ground with a snap, splashing out crystal fragments all over the ground, like a transparent gem.
Su Qi was indifferent to this, but Zhao Riyue was very addicted to this kind of game that seemed extremely boring.
"Go in?"
Anya interrupted Su Qi's memories, she tilted her head towards the stone cave, and the two stone knives were clenched in her hands.
"For some reason, I always had a bad premonition. ”
Su Qi sighed and flew in first.
"It's a common thing on the Boundary Road, and any new secret place can be dangerous, but on the other hand, there are often enough opportunities for a race to soar and become rich. ”
Anya and Su Qi side by side, the two of them didn't fly fast, because the cave was full of ice and snow, relying on the reflection, the ice cave was shrouded in a layer of hazy light, enough to make the two of them see everything in the ice cave clearly, the ice cave was actually not long, the end seemed to have collapsed, large chunks of huge ice were stacked together in a mess, which was also mixed with a lot of mud and gravel, and the surrounding ice walls seemed to have been smashed, and the traces of fragmentation spread to the top of the cave.
"It's not recorded on the map of Jiuzhuo City, is it?" asked Su Qi in a low voice.
"Well," Anya nodded, "I just confirmed that there wasn't any ice field drawn on the map, and this should be an empty space on the map." ”
"Then we're the first to get here. ”
The two flew to the end of the ice cave, where collapsed rubble, dirt, and ice filled the ravine, giving them a place to stay.
"It doesn't look like there's anything of value. Anya was a little disappointed, she picked it with a stone knife and flew a few half-human-high ice cubes, but there was still ice and snow underneath the ice.
Su Qi stared at the stone wall at the end of the stone cave.
Unlike the cold ice that condensed on both sides, there was no ice or snow on this stone wall, only a faint frost, and there were piles of broken ice and gravel several feet high under the stone wall.
If there was something blocking the drop of water, if its corpse was still here, it was most likely under the stone wall.
The Eight Desolation Swords floated.
Anya stepped aside cooperatively.
The sword light gushed out, clearing a way in the rubble, and the flying stones crackled and hit the ice walls on both sides, smashing out dense cracks, but the sword light stopped abruptly in front of the stone wall, and a muffled sound made the snow-capped mountain shake slightly, and then the sword light disappeared, completely silent.
"Sure enough, there's something!" Anya excited, "and it shouldn't be a living thing." ”
If it were a living creature, I'm afraid it would have fought back a long time ago.
Su Qi stepped forward slowly, the Eight Desolation Sword floated above his head, sprayed with a three-foot sword light, and Anya followed behind him, breathing slightly heavily.
But to the surprise of the two, the place where the sword light disappeared was only debris all over the ground, white ice, and gray stone, mixed together, into a pile several inches thick.
Anya looked puzzled and poked her head out from behind Su Qi, "This ...... Nothing, huh?"
Su Qi was silent for a long time, looking at the slag, and suddenly his eyes shrank slightly, "This is ......"
The Eight Desolation Sword flew down in an instant, and with a light pick in the debris, a finger-long pure white object was immediately picked out, and it was hidden in the debris, because it was too white, it looked no different from ice and snow, and it was difficult to find at a glance.
But when it's singled out, it's in plain sight.
It is a cicada.
