Chapter 98: Underground Mist
Click, click, click
Underground, two pickaxes, one white and one red, are alternately operating.
Lindsay and Red dig tunnels, and while repetitive labor, Red does not forget to complain about the current situation:
"Lindsay, I thought we could have a better way to deal with this kind of problem!"
Lindsey replied unceremoniously:
"Unless we can fly through the sky!"
"Otherwise, you will have to swim through the river except to go underground."
“……”
There is no reason to jump into the obvious traps, of course.
But Red still asks another question:
"What if we dig and dig and the top of our heads leaks?"
Lindsey replied decisively:
"Then I'll turn around and run, and hopefully you'll be able to get out before I block the tunnel."
"Hey, can't you just wait for me at that time!" Because nothing happened, Red still wanted to kick Lindsay. But at this moment, she felt a little soft under her feet.
"Wait! Lindsay, the soil here is a little wet. ”
"Stand back, I'll plug it!" Lindsey dragged Red and pushed it back a few meters, and at the same time, a few pieces of dirt were pasted in front of him, completely blocking the possible leakage here, and then continued to point downward, "The depth here is still not enough, let's dig deeper!" ”
Dark and icy underground, Lindsey and Red continue to dig down.
Work something out.
Sometimes this simple and cumbersome approach is needed.
The melting snow of the glaciers converges into a wide river, which is undoubtedly a means of the dragon beasts, and they must definitely avoid contact with these bodies of water!
……
Below the riverbed, a tunnel stretches silently forward.
Two powerful awakened people, working tirelessly, the speed of this task is not bad.
Half a day later, the two of them had already arrived at the other end of the river.
Lindsay also opened the map from time to time to check the distance between them and the body of water above their heads, so as to be on the lookout for possible trouble.
Between repeated labors.
Red also began to think about other things, and immediately raised a doubt:
"Lindsay, do you say that the river above is the only way for the dragon beasts to stop us?"
Lindsay thought hard before replying:
"I think it's possible."
The red eyes were raised, and the surprised tone was mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"You said it really resigned itself to its fate? Don't even want to stop me? ”
Lindsey shook her head in the negative:
"It's not that I give up, I'm more inclined to spend my energy on other things."
"It's been a long time since we left Thousand Mountains and Stone Ridge."
"With its ability, it can definitely do some tricky obstructions. But now there is no movement, which means that it must have other plans. ”
Speaking of which, Lindsay pointed to the girl in front of her:
"Like how to devour you, or how to solve the abyss that is calculating it."
Red wasn't frightened at all, but rolled her eyes angrily:
"Okay, you're going to have to fight with things you can't see, right?"
Click-
Suddenly, a different sound came from the front of the pickaxe.
Lindsay and Red stopped almost at the same time, and their heads followed by a torch.
A crystal cold plane appeared before their eyes.
The chill emanating from it suddenly lowered the temperature around him by a few points.
"It's ice!"
"We're digging under the glacier?"
Lindsay opened the map for the first time to view.
Above the surface, there is actually some distance from the glacier.
But the glaciers near Montenegro have a much larger volume below the surface. He and Red dug too deep, so they hit the underground part of the glacier ahead of time.
Next to Lindsay, Red has already begun to analyze the next action:
"Lindsay, let's dig all the way?"
"Didn't those resuscitators say that there are some means hidden under Montenegro? We just slipped in without even noticing! ”
Lindsay nodded approvingly:
"Okay, let's move on."
Now going back to the surface, it's really not a good idea.
This place is too close to the Black Mountain, and when it appears on the ground, there is a risk of being immediately discovered by the dragon beast.
Moreover, from the analysis of some means set up underground in the abyss, the dragon beast's surveillance here should be greatly reduced.
Digging tunnels is definitely the best choice of the moment!
The two pickaxes continued to swing, and the digging in the dirt turned into a advance through the glacier.
It's a very different experience than digging tunnels.
It's not just the surrounding environment that has become cold to the bone.
While digging, they will also inexplicably dig through some crevices in the glaciers, and sometimes they can see frozen corpses in the ice.
Wait until they advance about 500 meters.
Something unlucky happened.
Lindsay dug into the ice wall in front of her with a pickaxe, and the corresponding ice fell naturally.
Peng ——!!!
In an instant, a violent stream of water gushed out.
Behind the ice wall is not the glacier itself, but a cold current!
Red subconsciously rushed up, wanting to block this place with his body:
"Huh? Lindsay, are we digging in the wrong place? ”
"Goo-dong-hiccup!"
The girl accidentally poured a sip of ice water and couldn't help but burp.
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as Lindsay pulled the red open, the resourced ice cubes went up to the gap.
Zizizi——
There were some subtle sounds on the glacier, but the current was finally blocked.
At this time, Lindsay and Red glanced at each other, and both of them became wet, as if they had just taken a shower with their clothes on.
"Whew-"
"Hehe......"
Under each other's gaze, Lindsay and Red breathed a sigh of relief very tacitly, and each leaned against the glacier beside them.
Because the worst didn't happen.
The current is different from the raging river on the surface.
It is meltwater within a true glacial environment, unaffected by any drake abilities.
The moment the water gushed out just now, the two of them really had a heart in their throats.
Once these currents are related to the drake.
Their previous concealment was in vain, and they would even face a huge threat from above them in the next second!
The two slowed down for a few seconds, and Lindsay also analyzed the current situation:
"This is probably the meltwater flow system inside the glacier, red, let's dig up."
As soon as the words landed, Lindsay swung her meteorite pickaxe again and began to dig upwards.
Red also followed to help, and said tentatively:
"You seem to have an idea again?"
Lindsey nodded and replied:
"There are indeed such flowing systems inside glaciers, and their presence often means relatively large ice caves and tunnels."
Red immediately understood Lindsay's thoughts:
"So if we find a place like this, we can follow the tunnel instead of digging here!"
Lindsay was noncommittal:
"If you can save a little effort, you can save a little bit."
A few minutes after that.
Lindsey and Red were forced to take a few more showers with their clothes on.
But they also managed to find a tunnel in the ice with meltwater flowing and found a place to settle inside.
The two of them groped their way forward on the ice mixed with meltwater.
Coming to a new location, Lindsay naturally has to open the map to scout the environment
"Huh?"
As soon as the skill panel opens.
Lindsay's face darkened.
The map, which has always been very useful, turned out to be blurry in front of it, as if it was shrouded in a layer of fog!
Something is stopping the map's discovery!
