Chapter 388: Self-awareness is too clear
Similar scenes are playing out in the polar regions.
Most of the monks who can come to the polar regions to experience are very experienced.
After discovering that it was raining on the Arctic Ice Field, which had been splashed with water, they all felt that something was wrong, and they all activated certain protective measures to a greater or lesser extent.
However, not everyone is in a position to dig a snow cave.
Some of the man's protectors were quickly scrapped by the rain, and the man was amazed at the power of the rain and wanted to sacrifice a second one.
However, he only slowed down for a moment before the rain broke through his protective aura and touched his skin directly, transforming him into a zombie.
The companions on the side were not aware of this, and were discussing the strange rain with the other party.
Suddenly, he was bitten by the other party on the neck, and he was also assimilated into a zombie.
There are also monks who are fighting with demon beasts, and Yuyun touches the demon beast and immediately transforms it into a zombie, and its combat power soars.
The monk who had just gained the upper hand suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
The only thing to be thankful for is that because they are coming from the polar regions, most monks will choose to carry some fire with them, regardless of whether they have a fire spirit root or not.
Some bought magic weapons that could use true fire, and some directly bought a lot of true flame talismans.
After discovering that these demon beasts or monks had turned into zombies and that ordinary attack methods were useless, everyone thought of fire attack and burned them to ashes.
The Arctic Ice Sheet covers a vast area, and most of the monster beasts have scattered habitats.
The rain clouds quickly dissipated after appearing for a while, and some people had turned into zombies who only knew how to kill, while others knew nothing.
Only the rain in Shengxi is continuous, and it doesn't stop.
Sheng Xi and Yuanxian finished pranayama and found that the rain was still falling, and they couldn't help but wonder: "How long will it rain?" ”
Xiao Liluo stood at the entrance of the cave, looked at the heavy dark clouds outside, and sighed: "I don't know, I always feel that it wants to trap us here." ”
Sheng Xi feels the same way.
During her pranayama, Wen Zheming was already experimenting with the second zombie monster.
Sheng Xi walked over and asked, "Is there any progress on the second senior brother?" ”
Wen Zheming said slowly: "There is not much progress. I suspect that it is these dead silences that drive these zombie monsters to move. ”
"As long as these breaths can be purified, these zombie monsters will lose their ability to move and turn into ordinary corpses."
"But even so, the corpse of the demon beast after the zombie transformation has been seriously corroded and damaged, and it can no longer be used as a refining tool or alchemy material."
Burning with fire is one way to purify the breath of dead silence, but only with real fire.
The so-called true fire is a flame that contains a certain amount of spiritual power, like the phoenix fire of Sheng Xi, the ignorant fire used by Wen Zheming for alchemy, or the Vermilion Bird fire used by Lu Xiang to refine the weapon, all of which are real fires.
The flames summoned by the True Flame Rune drawn by Yan Che also belong to a type of True Fire.
At the mention of purifying the breath of death, Sheng Qi's eyes couldn't help but look at the thick snow outside the ice cave.
The snow doesn't seem to be anything special, but it's strange that the rain with a dead atmosphere dissipates when it touches it.
The three zombie monsters that were captured alive, and the last one was frozen in place by Squidward.
Sheng Xi thought for a moment and said to Squidward, "Squidward, throw it outside in the snow and try it." ”
After watching the rain in the ice cave for so long, Squidward also saw that there was something wrong with the snow outside.
He guessed Sheng Xi's thoughts, and even threw this last zombie demon beast out.
As soon as the demon beast was thrown out, Squidward withdrew his spiritual power.
Without confinement, the zombie demon beast rushed over again regardless of it, and was bounced away by the formation at the door.
This was repeated several times, and when the zombie monster beast rushed towards the ice cave again, it suddenly fell to the spot and could not move, as if an invisible force in the snow was pulling him.
The force was so great that no matter how the zombie monster struggled, it couldn't break free, and it was quickly dragged into the snow and disappeared.
The snow where it disappeared was flat, leaving no trace of the monster being dragged into the snow.
Seeing this scene, Sheng Xi and the others were stunned.
Xiao Liluo was the first to ask: "Aren't these snows just ordinary snow?" When I was digging a snow cave, I never noticed anything wrong. ”
"It's not just the snow outside, it's the ice here." Wen Zheming's tone was slow, with incredulity.
In front of him, there were originally two half-studied zombie monsters, one suspended in the air, and the other trapped in the formation on the ground.
Now, the zombie monster suspended in the air remained the same.
But the zombie monster beast that was locked on the ground was dragged by an invisible force on the ice, and disappeared into the depths of the ice like a phantom.
The zombie monster disappeared without a trace, and the ice was still flat and bright, as if nothing had happened.
These layers of ice are all 10,000-year-old ice formed by the continuous accumulation of snow in the polar regions for thousands of years, and they are very hard.
Only in the Yuan Infant Stage can he strike with all his strength to leave a mark on it, and only in the Transformation Stage can he have the ability to destroy the ice surface.
And if these ice layers are to break up on a large scale, it may affect the stability of the entire Far North Ice Sheet.
If the ice cave collapses, Sheng Xi and the others will have to face the rain outside, so they can only dispel the idea of letting Squidward break the ice to see the situation.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what to do for a while.
Sheng Xi carefully sorted out all the clues about this matter, and gradually came up with an idea.
Since the Frost Clan has a word of mouth saying that "if it rains in the polar regions, you must avoid it", it means that their ancestors are very likely to have encountered this situation.
But the outside world has no record of these zombies and monsters.
These zombie monsters did not form a large-scale zombie tide and were not known to the outside world, probably because of the special mechanism of the polar region that can drag zombies under the ice.
It's just that I don't know if this is a special self-purification mechanism in the polar regions, or if someone has set up rules or formations here.
Sheng Xi told his brothers what he thought.
Lu Xiang shuddered: "Little junior sister, if you guessed correctly, how many zombies are hidden under these ice layers under our feet?" ”
In the past thousands of years, who knows how many times it has rained in the extreme, and how many demon beasts or monks have been transformed into zombies?
The thought of the countless hideous zombies lying under their feet made everyone tremble in unison.
No matter what the matter is, at least the news must be brought out, so that the monks who enter the polar regions in the future can have a precaution.
Sheng Xi took out the communication charm and wanted to tell the master about it, but he couldn't contact Jingchen Yuanjun.
She could only give up this plan for the time being, and explain this matter to Jingchen Yuanjun after she left here.
"By the way, could this have something to do with the sleeping Merge Stage Demon Beast that Master mentioned?" Xiao Liluo asked.
Sheng Xi didn't think so.
Although the master occasionally made some skin, when they came to the polar regions, they even remembered to remind them of such trivial things as wearing sunglasses, and they would not miss the life-and-death event of turning into zombies when it rained.
The rain outside the ice cave is pouring non-stop, and I don't know when it will stop, and it is not a way to wait here.
Burning the last zombie monster, everyone discussed it and decided to go down the ice cave to have a look.
If there is wind blowing in the ice cave, it means that there is an exit at the other end, and you may be able to leave there to avoid the rain here.
The ice cave tilted slightly, not knowing where it leads.
The ice-blue 10,000-year-old ice constantly refracted the light above the snow surface, and there was a faint light inside the ice cave.
Brother Octopus opened the way in front, Yuan Xian and Xiao Liluo Palace, Sheng Xi escorted the three craftsman brothers in the middle.
As they walked in, the light around them became dim and dim.
This means that the light in the ice is getting weaker and weaker, and they are getting farther and farther away from the ground.
Sheng Xi and others took out the night pearl lighting one after another.
The further down you go, the more cramped the ice cave becomes.
The ice on both sides of the ice cave resembles a tall isosceles triangle, reaching a height of twenty or thirty meters, but the bottom is getting narrower and narrower.
The road, which was wide enough for three or four carriages to travel in parallel, gradually became a small road for only two people to run in parallel.
In such a comparison, it becomes more and more insignificant that people walking in the ice cave are insignificant.
Suddenly, Squidward stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yan Che poked his head out from behind him, and when he saw the picture in front of him, he froze in place for a moment.
The senior brothers and sisters went over to check the situation, but they were all stunned in place, and even their breathing became cautious.
On the ice walls on both sides of the road ahead, there were giants frozen in the ice.
These giants are all more than 5 meters tall, dressed in old animal skin clothes, armed with halberds or giant axes, and look down into the ice cave with a hideous expression, as if they can break free from the ice at any moment.
Xiao Liluo shuddered, subconsciously held the sword, and asked in a low voice, "Is it my delusion?" Why do I think these giants are all staring at us? ”
Sheng Xi also felt this way, and even had another bad conjecture.
It is rumored that the Frost Giants are brave and good at fighting, and have few opponents in the polar regions.
How did such a powerful race become extinct?
She and Wen Zheming searched through all the materials in the polar regions, but they didn't find any clues.
Even now, many people in the Southeast Spirit Realm feel that the Frost Giant does not exist at all, and it is just an ancestor fabricated by the Frost Clan in order to highlight their abilities.
But now standing here, stared at by countless giants in the ice without saying a word, Sheng Xi knew that the frost giants really existed, and they were right in front of his eyes.
Not only the Frost Giants, but also many larger monsters and even demon plants in the ice.
There are some demon beasts or demon plants inside, Sheng Xi has never seen in the existing polar materials.
It's just that I can vaguely see the shadows of some polar demon beasts from these demon beasts, which may be the ancestors of these demon beasts.
But there are two zombies that she is very familiar with, and they are the cool zombie monsters that were used by Wen Zheming for experiments before.
Lu Xiang hugged his puppet nervously and asked in a low voice, "Are these zombies?" ”
"Possibly." Sheng Xi's voice lowered unconsciously, as if he was afraid of waking up these zombies in the ice.
According to the scene I just saw in the ice cave, all the zombies will be dragged under the ice by the mysterious power here after a certain period of time.
It seems to be the sleeping place of these zombies and monsters.
The big two heads poked out their small heads from the spirit beast bag, looked at the frozen monks curiously, and asked in confusion, "Why are the other Huahua also locked up here?" ”
Sheng Xi speculated: "It should be that after the demon plant has spiritual wisdom, it will also be affected by the rain, turn into zombies, and be pulled into the ice together." ”
The big head let out a long sigh of relief, and said to the two heads with great joy, "It's good that we don't have intelligence. ”
The two heads nodded vigorously: "Yes!" ”
Others: "......"
For a while, I didn't know if the two of them were too self-conscious.
