Chapter 62: Special Digging Techniques
The moon hung high in the sky, and the silver Mia, the blue Lucia, and the blood-colored Lilith, the three ladies dwelled in the sky, shining with their own light on the mortal world, and through the mist, sprinkled on the empty and cold ice field. At night, there are still no creatures to be seen on the ice field, and there is still no sound, only a faint moonlight, silently watching everything on the ice field. The ice sheet looks the same as it did every night in ancient mythology, but if you look closely, you can see a slight difference.
There are several small icebergs scattered in this area, only about 20 meters high and about 20 meters in diameter. I don't know what the principle of the formation of these icebergs is, they are very unreasonable and suddenly emerge from the ice on the ground, like a short and thick thorn, pointing straight to the sky, freezing the ice that I don't know for hundreds of thousands of years, tough like steel, looking indestructible. However, now one of the icebergs has been partially destroyed, and a small hole has been dug diagonally down at the bottom of it, and a faint light can be seen from the opening. If you go deeper along the cave, you can see that in the deepest part of the cave, there is actually an igloo, the wall on the side of the igloo is facing the entrance of the cave, and the doors and windows are just facing the sides of the cave, so as to avoid the cold wind blowing directly into the house along the tunnel of the cave to the greatest extent.
I don't know who built this igloo, but it has obviously been a long time, and the surface is full of traces of time, and it looks like it is at least a hundred years old. The igloo is also built in a completely different way from the Ice Crystals, and it will certainly not be the work of the Ice Crystals. The ice crystals built the house, and they had to control the ice attribute elements, so that they could form directly on the ground, and the house looked like a day, and there was no trace of artificial construction. The igloo in front of you is the opposite, both on the outside and on the inside, there are traces of artificiality everywhere, and at a glance, you can guess that the igloo is a gift left by the forerunners of a long, long time ago.
Take a closer look at the igloo. It can be seen that it is made of hard and solid ice blocks, which are similar in size, and these ice blocks of similar size are probably taken from the nearby ice surface, and the builders cut the ice blocks of various sizes into rectangles that resemble masonry and stone-like building materials. Put them in a circle, and at the seams of the ice, you only need to pour a little water, and the two ice bricks can no longer be separated. The second layer of the igloo is stacked on top of the first floor, slightly further inwards than the first floor. In this way, the circle of the second layer is slightly smaller than that of the first layer, and the joints are also connected with water. On the ice sheets, this is the most effective way to do this. The second floor is topped by the third and fourth floors, and the first layer shrinks inward and finally converges to the top, forming a nearly spherical roof.
Entering the igloo, you can see a small crystal energy stove, the performance of the furnace is not very good, the heat emitted can't raise the temperature in the house too much, but compared to the cold night outside. It's already one of the best places to rest. At the Crystal Stove, Freya sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, her face buried in her knees, and the Crystal Gun was within reach of her reach. With her size, it wasn't easy to make this move, and it didn't feel comfortable, but she did it anyway, as if only by curling herself up in a ball could she provide enough security.
Just three hours ago, the girl gave up her intention to find food. Start concentrating on choosing a place to stay overnight. But in the open ice field, such a place is not easy to find, and each location is the same cold, which cannot provide the temperature that the maiden needs most. I searched for more than an hour. But nothing came of it, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Freya also felt that her steps were getting heavier and heavier, and the effects of hunger were finally beginning to show on her, and if she didn't start preparing for camping, I am afraid that after a while, even if she wanted to start preparing, she would not have the strength to start preparing. In desperation. The girl set her sights on several small icebergs, if she could dig a hole at the foot of the iceberg, even if it was only a small one, she could gather some heat for her a little, as for whether she would be frozen by the cold night after having this heat, it was only left to fate to decide.
So, Freya chose the largest iceberg in the vicinity and prepared to dig a hole at the foot of the mountain. As a crystal gunner, of course, there must be a special method of digging holes, which is simple and crude, but often receives good results. The girl walked to the foot of the mountain, chose the most sheltered position, and was just about to start digging, when suddenly the ice at the foot of the mountain not far from the law seemed to be a little strange.
In the case of being too bad to be worse, the appearance of any anomaly is worth looking forward to, because even if the anomaly will have a negative effect, it will not make the person's situation worse, and if the impact is beneficial, it may give the person a chance to survive the desperate situation. So when she noticed the anomaly on the ice surface, she quickly rushed over, lying near the location of the paresthesia, her face almost touching the ground, and observing the surface of the side wall of the iceberg centimeter by centimeter.
This anomalous sensation was not Freya's delusion, and while the ice was as flat and solid as the rest of the place, if you were careful enough, you could still see what was wrong. There was a slight difference in the color between the two places, and she thought that the unusual location was slightly lighter than the surrounding iceberg wall, and although the difference between the two was not big, it still couldn't escape the gaze of the Legendary Rank Professional.
Sure she wasn't mistaken, the corners of Freya's mouth curled up, she knew that if her guess was correct, behind this ice would be a cave that appeared many years ago, maybe a certain forerunner also chose this way as a way to survive the night when passing by.
"Looks like I'm going to have to say thank you. Freya expressed her gratitude to the possible Precursor, and then picked up the Crystal Gun and prepared to begin the digging.
That's right, it's just to pick up the crystal gun, the way the crystal gunner opens the hole is so simple and crude, whether it is to open a hole in a person or in the ground, the same method will be used, and it is also the most effective method - accumulate energy, activate the magic circle, and start shooting fiercely.
"Boom", the gunshot rang out, and a red energy mass with scorching heat erupted from the barrel of the black hole, bombarding the same ice surface, but the ice surface did not seem to be affected by anything, but under the dual action of high temperature and explosion impact, a shallow layer disappeared. But Freya was not discouraged, the magic circle inside the crystal energy gun continued to activate, and every few seconds a gunshot rang out, and the energy bombs continued to bombard the same position, making the depression in the ice deeper and deeper. (To be continued.) )
