Now, apart from the two guides, there are only four people left in the group.

Lu Xiao, a male student, a freckled girl, and a middle-aged uncle.

The woman who stayed in place probably could only usher in the same ending as the man who went on a side quest.

Several newcomers had confused, panicked expressions on their faces.

The girl with two ponytails turned her head, looked at the crowd and said:

"Come on, newcomers. You're lucky, this Apocalypse of the White Frost is just a B-rank challenge, and by surviving this challenge, you'll be able to spend points on items that enhance you. ”

The crowd slid down the mountain along the snow.

When going down, it's much easier than going up, and you don't need to spend a lot of energy.

But just as everyone was descending the mountain, there was a sudden rumbling sound behind them.

What's going on?

A few newcomers looked back suspiciously, but found nothing.

And the two leaders did not stop in the slightest, and continued to walk down the mountain.

The newcomers did not dare to stay at all, and hurriedly followed the two leaders.

The crowd came to the village at the foot of the mountain.

The whole village was covered with hoarfrost and deserted.

The stone houses could not withstand the wind and snow that blew all day long, and they collapsed to the ground, and some debris was scattered on the ground, all of which were covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

The village looks like it has been destroyed by hoarfrost for a long time, and there is no trace of humanity at all.

The double-ponytailed girl casually kicked away a pile of planks next to her, and there was a corpse pressed underneath!

The male student who was following the girl was startled and jumped to the side.

Several newcomers were taken aback by the frozen corpse, and even the girl with two ponytails showed an unnatural expression.

Through the thin layer of ice covering the surface of the corpse, the corpse could also be seen with its mouth wide open and a frightened expression, as if it had been frozen in ice forever in an instant.

The taciturn leader didn't show any change in expression, he crouched down and tapped the corpse with his hand.

The ice on top of the corpse made a clattering sound and shattered to the ground.

And the corpse was shattered into several pieces, and no blood splattered out, because all the blood was frozen to ice.

The man reached out and felt his way into the pockets of the corpse's clothes, finding nothing, and then stood up.

The crowd continued to move forward and saw a pot on a shelf, the food in which had condensed into a lump of ice before it could be eaten.

There were also two people sitting next to the pot, maintaining the last movement of their lives - raising their wine glasses.

Everything here seems to be completely frozen in an instant.

The crowd felt a little heavy, and finally walked in front of the fortress called Midsummer.

The girl with two ponytails pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of the fort and walked into the midsummer fort.

The crowd followed the maiden into the fortress.

Lu Xiao hurriedly closed the wooden door of the fortress, but he still couldn't prevent the cold wind mixed with small snow particles from coming in through the cracks in the wooden door.

Tick tick!

The quest on the watch has been updated.

Main quest 1 has been completed.

Unlock the main quest 2: Explore the Midsummer Fortress.

Tick tick!

Two more rows of red letters appeared on the watch:

Xue Hongmei, death.

Cause of death: Avalanche.

The crowd was silent again, horribly silent.

It turned out that the loud rumbling sound I heard when I was going down the mountain was the sound of an avalanche.

Is it that as long as they walk a little slower, or choose to rest on the way up the mountain, they will be buried by an avalanche like the middle-aged woman.

Suddenly, the freckled girl broke the silence:

"If we want to live longer in this world and complete the challenges, we need to work together. Let's take advantage of the break to get to know each other. ”

None of the others had any opinions.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, the freckled girl said:

"My name is Wei Qiu, and I know the autumn of autumn. I'm an art specialist, good at watercolor and drawing, and I can also do some oil painting. “

"My family has always been not supportive of me studying art, so the family is always very discordant, I saw the invitation and thought it was a variety show about amateur transformation, and I wanted to come out to relax and relax, but I didn't expect to come over."

"My name is Zhuang Yu." Said the male student in the school uniform.

"I'm in my senior year of high school this year, and I was in a mess every day for three years of high school, and in the end I didn't even get into the junior college, and I felt like a failure, so I wanted to change myself."

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Lu Xiao, the dawn of dawn." I am a product manager of a company, as the saying goes, I am engaged in sales, and I have a good income, but I am very tired and bored. “

"I've always wanted to make music, but I don't have a musical foundation, and I don't have the time and energy to study."

"Well, I'm just ordinary. My name is Wang Gang, and the steel of the pole dance is to carry the steel pipe and stir the cement on the construction site. “

"I always wanted my son to live a better life than me, not to be tired and low paid day by day like me, but as a result, he was not angry at all, and he fought at school, and I wanted to discipline him and didn't have time. If he doesn't work the construction site, where will he get the money to go to school? Finally, when I saw the invitation, I signed it, and I thought about going to relax, and I ended up here. ”

In this way, several people who come here have a common characteristic, that is, they are dissatisfied with their current life situation and want to change their current life.

At this time, several people looked at the two guides.

"My name is Ziluo, if you call him Xiao Hei." The girl with the double ponytail said.

"Alright, it's almost time, let's start exploring this fortress." The two-ponytailed girl walked up the spiral steps and said to the crowd.

The crowd walked up the stairs to the top of the fortress, round and round, as if there was no end.

The extremely monotonous stone staircase spirals upwards as if there is no end.

Obviously the fortress is not very high from the outside, why does this stone staircase seem endless?

Violet took out a card, pinched it in his hand, his mouth moved slightly, and a ray of light emanated from the card.

"Illusion!"

After the light flickered, the entire staircase did not change in any way, and still spiraled upward.

Zi Luo's expression changed suddenly: "The illusion breaking spell actually has no effect!" ”

The whole fortress trembled, and on the stone steps, which had no railings, the people crumbled and clung to the wall.

Suddenly, the male student let out a scream.

"The stairs are disappearing!"

Lu Xiao looked down, and the black stone steps were constantly retracting into the stone wall of the fortress from the bottom to the top.

The stone steps disappear quickly, and it won't be long before the stone steps under their feet will disappear as well, and they will fall from them and fall to their deaths.

The crowd began to run up as fast as they could.

There are endless stone steps in front, while the stone steps in the back are constantly disappearing.

Everyone's physical strength was rapidly consumed, and soon they gasped for breath.

It was getting closer and closer, and just behind Wei Qiu, who was at the back of the line, the steps had disappeared to a few steps left, and the girl was about to fall from a high place and fall into a puddle of rotten meat.

Lu Xiao suddenly stopped, he staggered away from the male high school student Zhuang Yu, and ran in the opposite direction to everyone.

He continued to descend the stairs until he reached the last stone staircase that had not disappeared.

Xiao Hei, the leader at the front of the team, also stopped, turned around, and ran downward, following closely behind Lu Xiao.
