Chapter 112: Dragon Ridge Snow Monster (Medium)

As for where the 'evil' of this place is, Xu Tianchuan couldn't say for a while.

Half from the inner hunch, half from the strange dried corpse I saw during the day.

Although Xu Tianchuan also agrees with Guan Xunshan's speculation, there are still many things that cannot be explained.

If the purple smoke on the corpse was really frostbitten, it would at least need to be above minus 30 degrees, otherwise it would not have been able to show that color.

This is Luoyang, which belongs to the central region, and the lowest temperature in winter is about minus 10 degrees, which can not achieve this freezing effect at all, which is the most treacherous place.

So it's better to let Jiao San be careful, after all, everyone is used to going out day and night, even if they don't sleep all night, it doesn't matter.

Jiao San naturally understood what Xu Tianchuan meant, since Xu Tianchuan was so cautious, then Jiao San definitely didn't dare to relax in the slightest, so he turned the 'try as much as possible' in Xu Tianchuan's mouth directly into an order, ordering his subordinates to all cheer up tonight, no one can sleep, and the person in charge of the vigil must be at least five people together!

Under the shroud of the smoke night, overlooking from the sky, the entire Longmen Mountain Range is silent, only a vast col flat in the hinterland of the mountain range, a dozen bonfires are burning with raging fires, and the large firelight illuminates the dozen or so tents gathered, and at the same time brings some warmth in this cold winter night.

More than a dozen people from Wugumen gathered around the campfire, drinking heated soju and roasting the raw beef they had brought in.

Xu Tianchuan and Jiao San gathered around another campfire, also drinking heated soju to warm up, but eating canned food, which was not much worse than them.

However, some of these subtleties can be seen from this.

The Five Ancient Sects have a sense of superiority, and they don't look down on Jiao San at all, and it is absolutely impossible for Jiao San to integrate into their circle.

As for Jiao San, since he followed Xu Tianchuan, he also looked down on them Wugumen.

The same is true for Xu Tianchuan.

What kind of ancient tomb robbery sect family inheritor, in Xu Tianchuan's eyes, is bullshit!

At least after a short period of contact, Xu Tianchuan felt that the inheritance of tomb robbery skills by these people was only secondary, and the most important inheritance was the 'thief spirit' on the tomb robbers!

"The Third Master ......"

Xu Tianchuan and Jiao San were drinking soju to warm up their bodies, when suddenly a shout from his subordinates came from a distance, as if he had made a new discovery.

Because everyone themselves had a sense of depression, they suddenly heard such a shout, and they all stood up one after another, and turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came.

Xu Tianchuan and Jiao San also hurriedly ran over.

I saw that more than ten meters away from the tent, several dried corpses were faintly seen buried in the snowdrift, because the snow was exposed during the day, and the night froze into ice, and under the illumination of the miner's lamp, several dried corpses showed different postures, in the snowdrift or only one head was exposed, or only one hand and half of the body were exposed, which looked a little panicked, which made people feel creepy.

"Third master, I just wanted to come over to pee, and then I saw this ......"

The subordinate who first discovered these dried corpses pretended to be calm, but from his face just now, it could be seen that he must have been really frightened just now.

Obviously, this is also a group of peers, who were wiped out by the group.

In addition, Xu Tianchuan also noticed that all those whose heads were exposed outside the snowdrifts had the same painful and hideous expressions, exactly the same as the dried corpse he saw during the day, and the way of death must be the same.

Sure enough, Guan Xunshan immediately asked people to dig out all the dried corpses frozen into ice in the snowdrift to see what was going on.

There were seven dried corpses in total, and no obvious external injuries were seen, and all of them were in the same smoky purple color similar to frostbite, but the parts were different, some were on the upper body, some were on the lower body, and some were only part of the chest.

This made everyone even more confused and weird.

If it was really frostbite, how could it be that only a part of the body was frozen?

"How the hell is this?"

There was a huge question mark in everyone's heart, and looking at the seven dried corpses on the ground, their expressions were extremely solemn.

"Guan Ye...... You said before that ten years ago, you spent six months with the other masters in order to find the entrance to the ancient tomb below? ”

Jiao San subconsciously gasped and cautiously asked Guan Xunshan.

Guan Xunshan nodded: "But I came at the beginning of spring and left in autumn." ”

"Brother Guan, why don't we wait until the beginning of spring next year? Anyway, he can't run from this tomb below......"

Tie just followed the weak inquiry.

Among all of them, only the largest one is the largest, but I didn't expect it to be the most cowardly.

Guan Xunshan glanced at Tie with a deep gaze.

Woo......

However, Guan Xunshan had not yet spoken, and suddenly there was a whistling sound between the dark mountains.

It's the wind!

And it seemed to be a very strong wind, whistling between the mountains, and the sound was not only low, but also had a strange sound, like the roar of some wild beast lurking among the mountains.

This is a kind of natural weather, because of the topography, there are many mountains and mountain streams around, and when the wind blows against the mountain stream, it is this kind of sound.

"It's actually windy at this time?"

Xu Tianchuan frowned subconsciously, because he stood on the mountain next to him during the day and overlooked the whole surrounding terrain, so Xu Tianchuan remembered very clearly in his mind that his current position, that is, the mountain col, was a huge tuyere.

It's normal for the wind to blow, but if the wind blows out from the mountains......

That is, when Xu Tianchuan was thinking about this problem, he already felt the cold wind blowing from the mountain stream between the two mountains in the north, blowing the cotton coat on his body and making a hunting sound, feeling like an ice knife on his face.

Even the flames of the campfire next to the tent were blown and sparks flew wildly.

"San'er, is our tent firmly anchored?"

Xu Tianchuan asked Jiao San loudly.

Jiao San's face was a little ugly, and he didn't answer Xu Tianchuan's words for a while, because Jiao San himself didn't have the confidence in his heart, and he had never encountered this situation, and when he set up a tent at that time, he didn't consider the problem of wind protection, so he used four one-meter-long iron rods to hit the ground and fixed the four corners of the tent with ropes.

"The shopkeeper, I'm afraid it's a little unbearable!"

Jiao San also seemed to feel that the wind gathered in the mountain stream was very strong, and if it really blew over, those tents might not be able to withstand it.

"Then hurry up and put the tent away first!"

Xu Tianchuan hurriedly shouted again, at least this can keep the tent from being damaged, and it can be held up again when the wind blows, if there is no tent, this winter night is really not easy to survive.

"Hurry up, put away the tent!"

Jiao San immediately yelled and ordered his subordinates to quickly collect the tent.

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

At this time, the wind came from the mountains in the north and became louder, and the sound seemed to come from the sky, and it had an overwhelming momentum.

At least just listening to this sound, you can feel how strong this wind is, and it is estimated that it is also a strong wind of seven or eight levels.

The first night I encountered such bad weather, I am afraid that no one was lucky.

As for the people of the Wugu Gate, their expressions were also solemn, and they also knew very well that the position they were in was the outlet, so they were all mentally prepared to prevent the wind.

If it's just an ordinary gale, it basically won't cause much damage.

But when the roaring wind approached, everyone looked at the landscape due north, and they were all dumbfounded.

Under the hazy moonlight of the smoky night, I saw that the northern sky was white, and the wind was like a wave, like a white barrier on the edge of the sky, roaring and rushing in.

"What the is this?"

"Blizzard?"

This snowstorm is menacing, Xu Tianchuan has an ominous premonition in his heart, this is simply a natural disaster!

But it's not snowing yet, where is the blizzard?

It is believed that after the hurricane formed in the mountains, it wrapped the snow on the rock walls and branches, thus forming the current snowstorm phenomenon, and it happened that this was the location of the wind outlet.

"All lie on the ground, take out the Luoyang shovel and support the ground! Come on! ”

Xu Tianchuan still has a certain sense of leadership, and immediately yelled, it must be too late to run now, the snowstorm is approaching, even if he has wings, it is too late to fly.

Under Xu Tianchuan's order, everyone lay on the ground and inserted the Luoyang shovel into the ground as a support.

This is also the only and best way to prevent the wind, lying on the ground can minimize the wind resistance and avoid being blown away, and there are not many snowflakes wrapped in this storm, Xu Tianchuan looks at the past with night vision, that is, it presents a fog, so there is no need to worry about lying on the ground will be crushed to death by snow.

Wugumen also used this windproof method, but Tie Wuwu actually took out a special shovel from his body and dug a pit on the ground to lie down, to a greater extent to prevent the wind.

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

A blizzard howled and raged against the ground.

Xu Tianchuan could feel it personally when he was lying on the ground, and the wind volume was at least seven or eight levels, and his eyes couldn't be opened for a long time.

And this snowstorm was not only wrapped in snowflakes, but also some blown branches and small gravel.

Because the blizzard came too quickly, the tents behind him had not had time to be put away, and when the blizzard swept over, he directly blew up more than a dozen tents behind him, along with the bonfire, including some sundries on the ground, almost nothing left, and then went south with the storm after flying in the air for a while.

It seems that we will have to endure the wind tonight.

Because the storm was formed by the convergence of mountain streams, it did not last long, at most it was just such a fierce force.

As long as you can withstand this fierce force, there is basically no danger.

But at this moment, Xu Tianchuan suddenly saw a strange huge white shadow appear in the blizzard!

Because Xu Tianchuan has night vision, he can see very clearly, this is not a white snowflake, because the snowflakes are scattered in the storm, and it is completely impossible to get together.

But because the storm was too fast, the strange huge white shadow in the storm only flashed in front of his eyes, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't see what it was at all.

"Ah......h

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianchuan suddenly heard a hysterical scream behind him, which merged with the whistling sound of the blizzard.

Xu Tianchuan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and immediately followed the voice and turned his head to look back.

I saw that at a distance of more than ten meters behind him, a guy held the Luoyang shovel on the ground with both hands, lying on the ground stiff, and screaming with pain and fear on his face.

And in this guy's lower body, covered with a layer of snow.

It stands to reason that it is very normal to be covered with a layer of snow, after all, such a big storm is wrapped in snowflakes and swept over the ground, and everyone is covered with a layer of snow, as long as it is not covered too thick by the snow, there will be no danger to life.

But what shocked Xu Tianchuan was that the layer of snow covered by the lower half of this guy's body was actually squirming, slowly squirming on his body, Xu Tianchuan could see very clearly with his night vision!

"Snow monsters?"

Xu Tianchuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't help but pop out these two words in his heart.

"Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and "Dragon Shaking Decision" include all the knowledge related to tomb robbery that Xu Tianchuan knows, is there any record of 'snow monsters'.

But Xu Tianchuan still has memories of his previous life in his mind.

Although the superstitious legends have been dispelled in the previous life, there are still some miscellaneous rumors, and what Xu Tianchuan knows and hears is about the 'snow monster'.

It is said that snow monsters will appear in places where snow is covered all year round, and will cover people's bodies like snowflakes, and after a period of time, they will frostbite people into dark smoke, and because of the lack of blood circulation, the internal organs will lose their function and die.

Although this is only a superstitious legend that appeared in later generations, it is very similar to what is happening in front of us.

The guy behind him stiffened and let out hysterical screams of pain, as if he had been frostbitten.

"Third Master...... Third Master ...... Help me......"

The guy behind him began to ask Jiao San for help in fear.

Jiao San also heard the screams of his subordinates for the first time, and grabbed the Luoyang shovel on the ground with one hand, took out the miner's lamp with the other hand and shone it behind him, shouting loudly: "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

Because of the snowflakes wrapped in the storm, even the light pillar of the miner's lamp has a very low effective range, and it can't be illuminated at all.

.jsshcxx. "Third Master...... My legs, my legs seem to be frozen, they hurt...... Yes...... It hurts......"

The guy didn't seem to be able to determine what was happening to him, but he felt a sudden chill freeze his lower body, like an ice pick digging into his flesh.

Really!

The few dried corpses I encountered earlier were frozen to death like this!

The culprit is the 'snow monster' that comes with the blizzard and can cover people's bodies!

It looks like normal snow, but there are 'ghosts' in it!
