Tick –

Glacial meltwater falls on the ice and water surface of the tunnel with a crisp sound.

In the dim ice world, the faint light of the torches is refracted by the surrounding environment, revealing the wonderful and dreamy blue color of the glacier.

Accompanied by crystal clear roads, as well as winding underground structures.

It's like a dream, like a fairytale wonderland.

It's just that Lindsay and Red have no intention of admiring the beauty here, they are walking cautiously one after the other.

Lindsay, who was walking in front, held the [Handheld Radar] and did not dare to let go of any changes that appeared in perception.

He also checked the map from time to time.

Where the two had not yet set foot, the world below the Black Mountain was still pitch black, and no terrain had been discovered.

But there is good news.

Wherever they walked, the map returned to its normal recording function.

It's like the fog of war or the map unlocking feature in the game. The map must be there for the player to be able to do what it was supposed to do.

Tick –

At the sound of meltwater falling, Red followed closely behind Lindsay.

She held the [Wood Poison Javelin] in her hand, and while providing a warning to the two of them, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Lindsay, your probing abilities are severely limited?"

Lindsey nodded and replied:

"That guy called the Abyss, if he dares to get these things under the feet of the dragon beast, he must have done the corresponding concealment methods. Even though I have a lot of skills, I can't escape the limitations of my skills. ”

"It's reasonable that this will happen."

Red accepted the statement and continued to ask:

"And what if we suddenly bump into the enemy in a moment?"

Lindsey replied:

"Then I'll tell you in advance."

"Large-scale reconnaissance of the map is ineffective, but I still have small-scale reconnaissance methods."

Speaking of which, Lindsay mentioned one more thing:

"By the way, I just need to remind you, and when the time comes, I will do it immediately, without waiting for other orders."

"You're not going to cheat you?" Hong's tone was a little teasing, "The resuscitators here definitely know much more information than the guys outside!" ”

Lindsay replied without the slightest hesitation:

"Then you'd better let him not even have time to speak!"

It's a good thing to get more information.

But Lindsay knew in her heart that the situation they were in was too dangerous. He felt that ensuring covert operations was the most important thing compared to obtaining intelligence.

……

The topography inside the glacier is very complex.

Meltwater has a fairly steady flow trend though. But the winding tunnels and caves don't make sense. Coupled with the fact that Lindsay and Red were moving forward with extreme caution, the speed of the trip was greatly slowed down.

Almost a day passed.

They were only about a third of the way horizontally in the middle of the glacier.

It will take at least two days to reach the bottom of Montenegro.

And in order to keep the movement as low as possible, they stopped digging tunnels.

Unless it's a dead end that you can't get around.

They all relied on the natural terrain as much as they could.

Of course.

It's not all a drag.

A day had passed, and Lindsay's map had recorded a considerable area of the area. At least as far as they could already see, they didn't have to worry about being hit directly by an enemy that suddenly appeared.

That night, Lindsey retreated with Red to the open area that had been explored on the map, and picked a low-lying ice cave.

There are three tunnels that lead to different directions in the glacier.

Even if something unexpected happens, they can slip away quietly.

Sitting in the cold ice cave, Red immediately began to urge:

"Lindsay, make a fire!"

"I need a campfire to warm myself up right now."

Lindsey didn't have any intention of taking action.

He just laid two layers of wood on the ground to make sure he wouldn't sleep on the ice tonight. As for urging him red, Lindsey just asked rhetorically in a flat tone:

"Didn't I give you accessories that will keep you from the cold?"

Red reached out and tapped on the glacier beside him:

"It feels different!"

"Sleeping where there's fire and where there's no fire is a completely different experience!"

Lindsay decisively refused:

"Torch lighting is already dangerous, let alone lighting a fire for cooking."

The red expression immediately becomes hard to look at.

But soon, she realized something else, and her expression was even more ugly.

"Wait! Don't make a fire? ”

"So what are we going to eat tonight!"

Lindsay's tone did not fluctuate:

"How about eating the meat crackers I prepared, are you happy?"

“……”

The girl's eyes widened and her mouth opened, but she couldn't even speak.

Even though there are 10,000 reluctances in my heart.

But Red also understands that Lindsay is right.

Bitterly eating the meat biscuits with Lindsay, the two fell asleep on the board.

Nor is the rest of the night a good night's sleep.

The glacier itself makes some weird creaking noises.

This could be due to ice cubes rubbing against each other, breaking, new cracks, or the movement of meltwater as it flows.

And some of the ice melts.

The air bubbles trapped in the glacier will also release and even burst, which will also make a sound!

Ordinary people may not be aware of it.

But for the two awakened ones who are already perceptive.

The sound sounded every few moments, as if the glacier itself was alerting them to the danger here.

Click-

Click, click, click

Woo——!

"Lindsay, is this getting louder?"

“……”

"I don't think you heard it wrong."

"But unless you evaporate the entire glacier, there's not much we can do."

"Your messy abilities ......"

"I suggest you save those thoughts and go to bed quickly."

"But don't you also sleep?"

“……”

Early the next morning.

Both woke up almost at the same time.

It's not because they've had the same routine during the long journey, but it's not a good experience to rest in the glacier.

After a short rest, the two continued on their way.

Continue in the ice tunnel that was explored yesterday.

Half a day passed, and the two stepped into a large ice cave again.

Having been exploring for more than a day, they are quite skilled.

Lindsey takes the lead in holding the radar and jumps down to scout the environment; Red from behind also jumped down after him.

Click-

Immediately, there was a crisp sound on the ice under the feet of the two of them.

Lindsay instantly turned her head to look at Red, and found that the girl was already a head shorter than herself, and her body was falling rapidly downward.

- The ice here is thin and brittle, and the red has fallen!

The next second, Lindsay realized one more thing.

- I fell too?!

The ice cave looks perfectly normal, but the structure of the ground is not.

The fragile ice is very fair to the two of them, and they fall down in the air one after the other.

Because it's so far away from the wall, there's no way to even use the cushion here!

In desperation, Lindsay immediately pulled out the rattan whip from his bag and threw it around.

Whoosh –

Syllable!

If it were a normal whip, it would not be able to wrap around a smooth ice wall.

But Lindsey has the help of [gamer] abilities.

He equips the bow and arrow on the attribute panel, and then throws out the rattan whip, and the tip of the whip has the piercing ability of the bow and arrow.

With a pop, the rattan whip plunged firmly into the ice.

Lindsay then swung her strength and scooped the red in her arms, and the two of them leaned against the ice wall.

"There are caves in this place too, what the hell!"

The two of them cursed, stuck their weapons on the ice, and finally stopped the trend of falling.

Lindsay looked down.

The broken ice that the two stepped on continued to fall, and there was no end to the dark cave at all!

"Lindsay, let's hurry up and climb up."

Red immediately confronted to leave, but Lindsay interrupted the girl's movements:

"Don't, you wait!"

"We might be able to go down and try it."
