Chapter 105: A Drop of Blood Causes a Story 7
Wood was not in a hurry to care about Mante, but carefully looked at everything around him. There is indeed a hole in the ground, and it looks very deep, and it is not known where the passage leads.
Wood broke off a vine beside him, lit a fire on it, and a makeshift torch was made. Then there was a faint light, and Wood walked forward with a shallow foot, and the two of them forgot to speak, but just stared intently ahead.
The air around was damp, so humid that the torches crackled. Only the sound of torches could be heard in the air at this time, followed by the sound of deep breathing, which Mante had made.
He followed behind Wood, and when he saw that Wood didn't say a word, the look on his face was a little nervous, and Mante, who was already very nervous, was even more worried. He didn't dare make a sound, but his heartbeat began to slowly accelerate as they moved forward. Before he knew it, his breathing was so heavy that Wood felt stressed.
I don't know how long it took the two of them to walk like this, but at last Wood stopped, which caught Mant, who had already begun to desert, off guard, and ran straight into Wood.
"Why did you stop suddenly, is there something wrong?" Mante struggled to get his body back into balance, and then looked at Wood in confusion.
"It's okay, I'm just tired of walking, but it looks like we don't have time to rest, so let's get out of this place quickly. Wood said indifferently, but what Mante didn't notice was that in Wood's eyes, a trace of horror crossed over.
At Wood's suggestion, they quickened their pace, and Mante was eager to get out of here as soon as possible. I don't know if it's because the air in the cave is too humid, but the atmosphere here always feels a little uncomfortable.
It's just that this hole is really long, so long that their legs and feet are numb when they have already walked, but they still don't see the end. Wood had to even think they were in an endless abyss, knowing that it was only when the air around them was no longer so humid that Wood had a hint of relief on his face.
"Mante, we should be nearing the end of our rope. Wood said excitedly, and even Wood himself didn't realize how excited Wood was to be able to get out of this hole.
Mante looked in Wood's direction, and there was indeed a faint glimmer of light in front of him, but this light was a little dazzling for the two Wood and Mante who had been groping in the dark for a long time.
When they walked out of the hole, they were stunned by what they saw. There was ice everywhere in front of me, and between the ice, there was a strange light reflected from the ice, and the eyes of the person who illuminated it could not be opened.
"Could it be that this is the Ice Kingdom you are talking about?" Mante held his hand in front of him, squinting at everything around him. If this wasn't the Ice Kingdom, he couldn't think of a place with more ice than here. Not only is there ice all around here, but even there is ice under their feet.
There is nothing superfluous here except ice that is ice. And strangely, although there was a lot of ice here, Wood didn't feel the cold at all. It reminded Wood of the last time he had met the lady. Although there wasn't so much ice at the time, and there was snow everywhere, Wood didn't seem to feel any cold at the time.
It wasn't cold, but there was no life in the air, and it was so dead silent that they could even hear their echoes.
"Where do you think Su Rui will be, it doesn't look like someone is going to live in this place for long?" Mante asked, if he was allowed to live in a place like this for a day, he would probably go crazy. It was so quiet that they didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Wood didn't expect them to come to the Ice Kingdom as soon as they came out of the cave, which made him wonder. But thinking of Su Rui's situation at this time, Wood didn't dare to delay in summoning the little butterfly. With the little butterfly to guide them, Wood and the others were able to quickly know where Su Rui was.
The little butterfly seemed to have never been to such a place, so she shuddered unexpectedly, and then staggered ahead of her. Wood had lost it once last time, so this time he didn't dare to take it lightly, and his eyes were always on the little butterfly.
The ice here has accumulated over the years, and now it has gradually formed a variety of strange shapes. These strangely shaped blocks of ice make the terrain look a lot more complicated. In order to be able to keep up with the little butterfly, Wood's body would touch the ice cubes around him from time to time.
The Wood Ninja was in pain and kept moving forward, and Mante stumbled after Wood. The reason why he stumbles is entirely due to his balance problems, and the ground under his feet is so slippery that Mante almost fell to the ground on several occasions.
The little butterfly kept going all the way, and Wood followed closely behind, Wood didn't notice the changes in his surroundings, just stared at the small figure in the white air. Knowing that the little butterfly was perched on a very beautiful petal, Wood noticed that the illusion around him was no longer a piece of ice and snow.
The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and there is a small stream around, and the stream is flowing endlessly, and you don't know where it leads. The trees here are very green, and the flowers here are beautiful and colorful. A breeze was blowing in the air, and Wood could even smell the petals.
"What kind of place is this, is the little butterfly taking the wrong way, aren't we going to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, but where is the ice here?" said Mante very puzzled, but he still liked it in his heart. His eyes lingered on everything around him, and he couldn't help but say something that he didn't say.
"I have a gut feeling that Su Rui should be around here. Although Wood is now a little estranged from Professor Shivara, Wood has never doubted the little butterfly he gave to Wood, and he believes that the little butterfly will not lead the wrong way.
So the two of them searched nearby, but although the surrounding illusion had improved, Wood still didn't dare to shout Su Rui's name too rashly. They searched for any possible place to hide, but it was like a flat field, and everything here was almost at a glance. Even if there is a person hiding here, it is still easy to find it.
