Chapter 952: South to South
Huo Chi was also a little worried when he heard Patassas's words, after falling from the ice cave, they had completely lost their sense of direction, and now he didn't know where they were traveling.
If they want to leave the Northlands, they have to go south, but where are they going now?Huo Chi tried to ask Abu, but Abu didn't say a word, which made him a little worried.
"Look at the compass, the standard dagger unscrews the lid behind the handle, and there is a simple compass inside. Su Qingqing said as she unscrewed her dagger and poured out the compass inside.
Huo Chi then remembered that there was indeed a compass behind the standard dagger issued by the Expedition Military Department, and there were survival equipment such as matches, fishing lines, and flinching velvet in the hollow handle, although they were all very simple, but they might really come in handy at critical moments.
The compass lay quietly in Su Qingqing's palm, and then the faint light, everyone held their breath and waited for the pointer to stop.
However, to everyone's disappointment, the compass seemed to be completely out of order, and the red and white hands were spinning and turning for a while without stopping.
"Huh, is this thing broken?" the white fox immediately asked, "Huo Chi, where is your dagger?"
"Uh... There should be. Huo Chi pulled out the black dagger, which he barely used, from his boot, unscrewed the back cover, and sure enough, he found a simple compass.
“。。。 This one seems to be out of order, too. Huo Chi frowned slightly: "The simple compass is an ordinary magnet, which is said to not be easily damaged, since I and Qingqing's are useless, this shows that there is a strong magnetic field interference in this place." ”
"Well, quite possibly. The white fox nodded: "Maybe there is a large magnetite nearby, which interferes with the compass." ”
"Oh, I still can't figure out the direction!" said Patassas, walking forward to the bend in the passage, and walked over with some anxiety. But she soon walked back with a surprised expression on her face: "Come here, there's a light ahead!"
"There's a light?!" Huo Chi immediately ran over when he heard this, and when he came to the bend of the passage, he really saw the light ahead!
"Are we almost going out? That's great!" The white fox was most afraid of getting lost, he had been walking under the ice for so long, he once suspected that everyone was lost with him, but now there was a bright light in front of him, which made him secretly relieved.
"Be careful, you don't know which side of the exit is ahead. Huo Chi took out the pistol and pressed the super dagger into the palm of his hand, and the four of them walked slowly and quietly towards the bright place.
"Here it is... When they reached the edge of the passage, Huo Chi couldn't help but put down his pistol, and in front of them, it was not any side of the snow-capped mountain that brought light.
At this moment, they did not cross the snow-capped mountains, but they found a strange place.
Huo Chi looked at the huge space that suddenly opened up in front of him, and realized that they were most likely standing in front of the ruins of an undiscovered ruin now.
However, the ruins of this place were both similar and very different from the ruins they had seen before.
Similarly, there is a lot of glowing moss and a huge space with no people, but the buildings here are not very tall and there are no skyscrapers like the ones you've seen before.
The most surprising thing is that the buildings here seem to be all made of ice, and all the houses look like ice sculptures, crystal clear!
"Wow! This is definitely a ruin that has never been discovered!" Su Qingqing walked out of the passage, looked at the "ice sculpture" in front of him and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, are these buildings all made of ice? These buildings look like ancient buildings in China." ”
Huo Chi nodded slightly, as Su Qingqing said, in addition to the special building materials of this strange ruin, the architectural style here is also quite similar to the ancient buildings of the Celestial Empire.
The pavilions and carved beams and paintings, the intrigues and caissons, are all exquisitely made, and everyone walks through them, as if they have walked into a time and space tunnel, back to the ancient times of ice crystal making.
"Judging from the architectural style, the ruins here are at least a thousand years old, but why are these buildings made of ice? Doesn't ice melt gradually? Why does this ice seem to have no intention of melting at all?" Su Qingqing put her hand on the outer wall of the building, and the cold touch made her more and more puzzled.
"Yes, it's really ice! But it's so strong!" Patassas chiseled through the ice with his dagger, and found that it was almost impossible to chisel out the ice slag.
"This ice may be the kind of ice that resembles the element of ice, which does not melt easily when exposed to high temperatures, and is also very strong. Huo Chi guessed: "The people who built this city may think that this kind of ice is easier to obtain than other materials, right?"
"Perhaps, but we've found a ruin, but we still haven't found an exit. The white fox walked on the same ice-paved road, trying to determine the direction: "You say, could it be the south over there?"
"Why does Mr. White Fox think that direction is south?" Huo Chi was trying to judge the direction, but heard White Fox's guess.
"Because the ruins of the ruins are generally due south and north, although the architectural style here is different from other ruins, it is also the architectural style of ancient China, and it can be judged from the orientation of the buildings that it is likely to be south. The white fox smiled slightly.
Huo Chi didn't expect this road idiot to analyze the direction from the direction of the buildings, however, what the white fox said seemed to be very reasonable, if these buildings were really built according to the pattern of sitting north and facing south, then the direction that the white fox was pointing to now was likely to be due south.
"Will the location of the ruins change under the ground?" Huo Chi asked cautiously, will these ruins be displaced if they are buried under the ground for hundreds or even thousands of years?
"I don't think I've seen any changes in the ruins at the moment, and they're all oriented in a fixed direction. The white fox thought for a moment and became more determined.
"Then let's head south, hoping to find an exit. Huo Chi turned around and walked into the depths of the city. Walking south, he had to walk through this ruin, he touched his stomach, feeling that after a night of tossing, the food given by Captain Su had been exhausted.
"Are you tired, do you need to stop and rest?" As he walked, Huo Chi found that everyone's footsteps were a little heavy except for him.
"Tired is not tired, but hungry... Patassas's stomach was already growling, and when she heard Huo Chi's question, she immediately said that she wanted to stop and eat something.
