48. Iceborne
Jessica smiled slightly, stretched out her hand, the ice spike just extended, and suddenly melted away as if it met the warm sun, and then she pointed with her hand, and a dark red ray, which was a scorching ray, was shooting directly on its head.
The ice bear screamed wildly, and then fell to the ground, a small hole had appeared in his head, Jessica stepped forward, and with her handprints, she performed the nucleus, and then put it in the ring.
"It's not early, let's find a place to rest, and it's time to set up camp. Wang Qinian looked at the sun and saw that he had shifted in many directions, and said.
When I got off the boat, I had already eaten lunch, and I had walked dozens of miles, and according to the normal time, it was almost dark, but in the polar day, I couldn't see the sunset at all.
Jessica gestured to a flat ground over there, "We're resting over there." ”
When they got there, the two took out the mage's mansion from the ring, and after unfolding it, they arranged a simple defensive magic array on the periphery, and the two of them entered the mansion of Mingzi, Wang Qinian waved his hand, and the mage's mansion automatically turned black, blocking the sunlight outside, sitting cross-legged on the bed, and entering a meditative state.
Jessica rested for a while, took the ice bear and the workbench from the ring, and began to dissect the ice bear.
In his meditation, Wang Qinian felt that there were spatial fluctuations hundreds of miles away, who was using the door of space, magicians generally teleported and would not use the door of space, but not necessarily, the door of space could not be opened below, in other words, this person must be above the magician, but the fluctuations were too far away to make Wang Qinian unable to identify who he was.
After a night's rest, Wang Qinian and Jessica set off again, they still hurried with the speed technique, the purpose of their coming was to make that strange place, but not only. Along the way, you can also see the scene of the ice field, such as Jessica caught an ice bear yesterday.
Hearing the roar of a bear in front of them, and hearing the roar of a dragon and a non-dragon, Wang Qinian and Jessica glanced at each other, they had not heard the roar of this animal, and the two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Over a hill. There is a scene in front of him, three ice bears are besieging an animal, this animal image is peculiar, with wings on its back and four legs, but its two hind legs are very thick, its front legs are very short, and there is a single horn on the top of its head, which is a bit like the rhinoceros in Wang Qinian's impression. However, the front and back feet do not match at all, and the back is covered with thick hair, and the hair looks white.
It obviously had the upper hand, and the single horn on its head emitted ice light, but the ice bear also seemed to be angry, dodging left and right, but kept spraying ice and snow balls, taking advantage of the gap to hit it. It seems to be fine, with a mouth. Another roar, a stomp under my feet, and the ice cracked.
Although it had the upper hand, it was not so easy to get rid of the three ice bears, and Wang Qinian and Jessica both looked up the name of the animal in their minds. There is no record on the "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures", Wang Qinian suddenly remembered, he had seen a record of this kind of magical beast in a magician's travelogue, what is his name, right. It's called the Flying Ice Rhinoceros Beast, and it lives in the northern extreme cold zone, and when the magician saw it, it flew in the air, and there was no other record except for this record.
"It's the Flying Ice Rhinoceros, a cold beast that resembles a dragon but not a dragon, and its characteristics are unknown. Wang Qinian said.
"Flying Ice Rhinoceros? Jessica said, "Doesn't look like it's on the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures?"
"Yes, there is no record, I saw it in a relatively partial magician's travelogue, I'm afraid it only appears in that book, and I haven't read it anywhere else. Wang Qinian said.
As soon as the two of them appeared on the hill, the battle between the Ice Bear and the Flying Ice Rhinoceros continued, but it slowed down significantly, as if both sides were guarding against the two of them.
Not far from them, there was a plant, which did not look like a plant, but like a tree made of ice, the trunk was transparent, but strange, the leaves were red like fire, and there were five red fruits on it, like the five petals of a plum blossom, which was very attractive.
Wang Qinian and Jessica's attention was focused on it, according to the "Encyclopedia of Magical Plants", this fruit is a flame ice crystal fruit, people can take it, they can improve their own qualifications, especially the affinity of the fire element, if the water element attribute of the monster eats it, it can stimulate its own potential and make the water element to a higher level.
It seemed that they were fighting for the Flame Ice Crystal Fruit, Wang Qinian smiled, and said to Jessica: "I'll step forward to get rid of the Demon Beast, and you go and collect the Flame Ice Crystal Fruit." ”
After speaking, he stepped out and appeared in front of an ice bear, a dark red light flashed, and an ice bear roared halfway and fell to the ground.
Wang Qinian suddenly made a move, the Flying Ice Rhinoceros Beast and the Ice Bear were already on guard against him, but Wang Qinian shot too fast, they hadn't reacted yet, one Ice Bear had already fallen to the ground, and then the other two Ice Bears reacted, turned around and pounced on him, and the Flying Ice Rhinoceros Beast also pounced on him at the same time.
At the same time as Wang Qinian, Jessica appeared in front of the Flame Ice Crystal Fruit in one step, and was just about to reach out to pick the Flame Ice Crystal Fruit, when a white thread jumped up from the ground and rushed straight towards her hand.
Although Jessica was unexpected, she didn't panic, but with a slight flash of blue light around her, a magic shield appeared, and the white line hit her magic shield headlong, revealing her true body, which turned out to be an ice mouse, Jessica pointed at her left hand, and a thin needle flashed, and immediately shot it through.
Reaching out to pick the fruit, sealing it, putting it in the ring, and also putting the body of the ice rat into the ring, she suddenly heard the sound of the sound, looked back, and was startled, countless ice rats suddenly appeared in the ground, Jessica's field outside the body appeared in an instant, and the ice rats that entered her domain grew old in an instant, but the ice rats still followed.
Wang Qinian watched two ice bears and a flying ice rhinoceros beast pounce on him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the black light flashed around him, they were suddenly stunned, and then fell down, Wang Qinian showed the ring, and the corpse disappeared.
At this time, I heard Jessica shouting, turned my head to look, and saw that somehow, the mountains were full of wriggling ice rats, Jessica rushed towards Wang Qinian's place, Wang Qinian saw it, his hand was drawn, and a door to space opened, the two did not stay, and directly plunged into the space, and the space fluctuated together, and the ice rat lost its target.
The ice rat is not a powerful magical beast, but there are too many of them, so Wang Qinian simply got rid of them together.
Dozens of miles away, two people stepped out of the space, and Jessica said with palpitations: "I didn't expect that there are so many ice rats in this ice field, although the individual is not strong, but there are too many of them. ”
"Maybe they live underground, we didn't pay attention, the ice sheet looks like it's lifeless on the surface, but life is so tenacious, and in this environment, there is such a population, they must constitute a whole ecosystem. Wang Qinian said, "I'm afraid we will encounter all kinds of creatures, so pay attention to them ourselves." ”
The two of them walked while talking, the sun was still turning in circles in the sky, Wang Qinian suddenly raised his head, Jessica also looked up, and in the sky, a huge bird flew by, but ignored the two.
"It looks like a snow vulture, it's so big, I don't know why, it's so big?" Jessica said.
Wang Qinian fell into deep thought, it is impossible to reason, in the Antarctic region, food is scarce, there is such a big bird, is there a rich source of food, Wang Qinian found that he was a little puzzled.
Wang Qinian shook his head, feeling incredulous, he temporarily got rid of the interference of this question.
Wang Qinian and Jessica got a large number of samples of ice field creatures, which was really unexpected to them, Wang Qinian became more and more sure that there must be something in this, on the earth, there have never been so many creatures in Antarctica, because the ice field ecosystem can not be supported, similarly, here, Wang Qinian believes that the food chain of the ecosystem still exists, which is a truth, but things are more and more unexpected Wang Qinian.
"How can the ecosystem here supply these creatures?" Wang said.
Jessica was also puzzled, she was the proposer of the doctrine of the ecosystem of this world, it can be said that except for Wang Qinian, no one can surpass her in this aspect, but she was also confused, she sighed and said: "Either the ecosystem theory is wrong, or there must be some other reason." ”
"What are you going to do?" Wang Qinian asked Jessica.
"If I find a theory that can replace the theory of ecosystems, it makes more sense than my ecosystem, I say obey it, but so far, I still support my theory of ecosystems, I tend to have reasons that we don't know, and ecosystem theory should work in ice sheets. Jessica said.
"I'm also inclined to believe that the ecosystem theory is correct, but what is it?" Wang Qinian couldn't help but be distressed.
From the beginning, the road they walked was different from the previous group of people, the previous group of people were cautious, and when they landed on the shore, they were not at the same landing site as Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian was to select a site for the research station, and for him, he did not take into account the bad situation in Antarctica at all, but fortunately, in the past few days, except for two occasional short-term snowstorms, most of the timetable was very good.
But the good luck came to an end, and they were confused in the distance, and Wang Qinian and Jessica saw that it was the wind and snow coming, and the sky was gray, and even the sun could not be seen.
"Find a sheltered place from the wind. Wang Qinian said.
Jessica looked around and pointed behind the hill in front of her, "Go over there." ”
The two of them turned to the hill and went around to the back of the mountain, at this time, the wind and snow had come, if it was an ordinary person, they might not be able to see the road clearly, but under Wang Qinian's spiritual awareness, it was still clear.
"Strange, there's a huge cave here, go to the cave. Wang Qinian said.
The two of them entered the cave, the cave was very large, the more they went inside, the wider it became, and gradually went deeper into the ground, Wang Qinian released his divine sense in order to see the entire cave clearly, and for a moment, he was stunned. (To be continued......)
