Behind the running people, the smooth caverns and ice cracked to the sides for no apparent reason, and with the tremor beneath their feet, it was like a giant beast of frost opening its mouth. Under the crack is a dark deep space, on both sides of the ice wall, there are broken ice layers everywhere, the cross-section of these ice layers is very sharp, as if it is a sharp knife, if anyone accidentally falls, I am afraid that before they have time to fall to the ground, they have been cut into countless pieces by the sharp blades composed of these cold ice.

The fractured ground stretched quickly, and the cracks in the ice spread like cobwebs along a cracked main line to both sides, and large chunks of frozen snow were torn open by the force of the earth, falling rapidly towards the depths of the cracks, and finally smashing against the raised rock wall, making a dull crashing sound.

The scene in front of me seemed to be as terrifying as the end of the world, the feet were trembling, the earth was roaring, and even the fog on both sides seemed to be rolling, and no one could have imagined in advance that such a terrible thing would suddenly happen on the seemingly calm ice field.

Even during the run, the members of the party remained in basic formation, with Catherine at the front of the group, taking on the task of leading the way and blazing the trail. Years of experience had an effect here, and the knight was not thrown into confusion by the chase and roar of the rift, and she still managed enough energy to look backwards while running as hard as she could, and after confirming the direction of the rift, she led everyone to the side and ran out in a direction close to the vertical of the rift. Rather than running, everyone seems to have finally found a way to move forward at high speed in freezing snow and ice, that is, simply squatting or sitting on the ice, holding a sharp weapon as a tool in their hands to support themselves on the ice, and using the strength of their arms to propel themselves forward.

The timely turn finally paid off, and after seven or eight minutes of racing, everyone was finally out of the crack of the ice, and the roar was being heard in their ears. But no one dared to stop, and no one was sure that after such a large-scale movement, the ice near the nascent rift would remain solid enough. If you stop now, maybe there will be a tragedy that escaped the devouring of the large-scale rupture, but due to negligence, it was finally covered by the remnants. Therefore. Even though they had gotten rid of the pursuit of the ice cracking, the six of them continued to run for five or six hundred meters before they stopped and looked back in fear. In the rear, the ground seems to be calming down. The sound of the ice breaking became quieter and quieter, and the position that everyone had just walked through was already occupied by the rift, and if they didn't escape in time just now, they would inevitably fall through the middle of the new rift, and there could be no exception.

"What is that. Lina's thick cotton clothes were covered with snow and ice ballast, panting and sitting on the ground, in fact, under normal circumstances, she would not feel too tired even if she ran with all her strength for this distance, when the scene just now was too amazing, and the strong psychological pressure made her consume a lot of extra physical strength. At this time, I had to hurry up and adjust my breathing. But even so, she still couldn't control her curiosity, and asked fearfully, "How could the ice suddenly break?" and it was so intense. ”

"It's kind of a natural phenomenon. Catherine did not sit down to rest, but commanded Eva, and the two of them protected the two casters who sat down to rest, one on the left and one on the right, in case of another emergency. The female knight held her shield in front of her in a very awkward posture, her eyes patrolling vigilantly in the mist, and she didn't forget to say to Lina: "Before I came, I sorted out all the information I could find about the permafrost ice field, and it was indeed mentioned in it. Occasionally, unexplained ground fissures occur on the ice sheet, but they are not frequent, and being encountered by us can only show that our luck is too good. Hey. What about Pennis and Vivien, where did they go, I remember they were there a minute ago, why did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"It's not going to fall, well, I'm just kidding. "Everybody knows that. Freya was joking, no one would believe that several of her Legendary Professionals had escaped, but Pannis, a demigod, was swallowed by the rift, but even though she knew it well, Catherine still glared at Freya fiercely. Freya was reinstalling the metal equipment on her boots, and waved her hand to Catherine absently and said, "Don't be so nervous, I saw him dozens of seconds before we stopped, and he was following us, so it can't really fall, don't worry." What's more, even if he is really caught up by the rift, don't forget that he still has an inherent spiritual realm, and the power of the domain is enough for him to escape. ”

"Well, I can already hear Vivien's footsteps. Catherine nodded, staring into the depths of the mist behind the group, and it wasn't long before Pannis walked out of the mist with one hand on her hand and her waist on her waist with the other. Seeing Pannis's embarrassed appearance, the corners of Catherine's mouth wrapped in a thick scarf curled, and she forced a smile and asked, "Why are you so slow, and you look like you were beaten up by a group of people in the middle, what happened?"

"Don't mention it. Panis pulled Vivien back into the group, and then began to sort out the cotton hat that had almost fallen off her head, muttering and complaining, "I don't think you even noticed that there was so much broken ice coming at you from behind." ”

Pannis was right, due to unexplained changes, the ice was not only forcibly torn apart at first, but also constantly collided with each other, the force of this collision was incalculable, under the impact, the broken ice was pushed by a huge force, and shot out in all directions, the hardness and speed were enough to create a considerable killing effect.

Previously, Pannis had been following Vivien at the end of the line with Vivien on his back, and after sensing a lot of broken ice flying from behind, he had to adjust the position of the mage girl, holding her in front of him with his left hand, and wielding a one-handed sword with his right hand, trying his best to knock down the incoming ice. It was not difficult to deal with these ice cubes with the strength of a demigod, and the dense broken ice was knocked down one by one, and it could no longer have any effect on the girls in front of them. However, tragedy happened at this time, due to over-focusing on the ice behind him, Pannis finally felt the malice from the ice field, slipped on the smooth ice, and rolled down a small slope with Vivien in his arms. He rolled to the bottom of the slope before patting the frozen snow on his clothes, and then dragged Vivien, who was happily laughing at his miserable condition, from the ground, and struggled back to the top of the slope, chasing in the direction of Catherine's four.

"It's pathetic. Catherine covered her mouth and suppressed her laughter, and walked over to help Pannis, slapping the crushed ice on her clothes, and whispered, "Good work,"

"Then I've worked so hard, is there any reward? Pannis's voice immediately became obscene, and he grinned, "There must be a reward." ”

"Yes. Catherine raised her eyebrows, and although she knew that Pannis couldn't see it, she still said with a smile: "The next time you do a pervert, I'll just cut you to death and take a breath, how about it, this reward is very satisfying." ”

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Pannis hung his head and whimpered, "Please take a breath." ”

"Stop making a fuss and get down to business. Catherine rolled her eyes and punched Pannis in the shoulder, pointed to the rift and said, "That should be what the information says, the ice displacement phenomenon, have you encountered it before?" ”

"I wasn't so lucky. Pannis shook his head vigorously and denied: "This thing is on the ice field, it is said that it only happens once or twice in ten years, and it is generally not large-scale, but it is not so easy to see." Who knew that as soon as we came in, the ice field gave us such a big gift. But fortunately, there was no loss, this natural phenomenon of natural disaster level, even if the ice crystals encountered, it is very likely to return to the state of the elemental core, and even the elemental core will be destroyed, not to mention the flesh and blood creatures like us. ”

"Will ice crystals die when they encounter them?" Catherine said in surprise: "Aren't they made of ice, even if they do fall, it's fine, how can they die?"

"Because some ice displacements don't end so simply. "Sometimes the ice displacement is divided into two phases, and what we see is the first stage, because for some reason, the ice on the ground is twisted and torn," Pannis explains. Generally, after the first stage, the ice crystals will be severely damaged on the surface of the body at most, and there will be no problems with the inner core. However, sometimes there will be a second stage, the cracked ice will soon come closer to each other, and after hitting each other, they will crush each other, and that kind of power, even the demigods will be crushed when they encounter it, enough to completely destroy the core of the ice crystal, and in this way, the long life of the ice crystal will finally end. ”

"Wait. Lina abruptly interrupted Pannis's explanation and asked cautiously, "You just said that there may be a second stage?"

"That's right. Pannis nodded, "This is what I heard from the ice crystals, and no one can say which time it will be and which time it will not be." ”

"I don't think it matters where you hear it. Lina shook her head and said, "There is only one key problem, if the ice closes again with great force and collides together, there will be many places that will collapse and shatter." ”

As soon as Lina's question came out, there was an eerie silence between the six people, everyone look at me, I look at you, looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly quickly sorted out the equipment and clothes on their bodies at the same time, and walked quickly in the direction away from the newborn rift without looking back, as if there was an army behind them with weapons chasing at full speed, lest if they took a slow step, they would be caught up by the enemy.
