Volume 1 The Serial Chapter 90 Lost in the Ice Forest
It is said that everyone has finally embarked on the journey back, but a few people have accumulated a lot of cold qi in their bodies because of the great consumption in the battle of the cold and the cold qi has reached a critical point.
But Bai Zhimo couldn't get rid of the cold at this time, and when Bai Shaoqiu was in a dilemma, a person took the initiative to stand up.
"Mr. Sun?" Bai Shaoqiu raised his eyebrows, and the person who spoke was Sun Qixing.
It wasn't that Sun Qixing's identity surprised him, but the content of his words, he actually knew a shortcut to go back.
The map in Bai Shaoqiu's hand was drawn by the power of Heling Bo City after years of exploration, but Sun Qixing suddenly said that he knew another way, a road outside the map.
This can't help but Bai Shaoqiu don't think about it much, since you know why you didn't say it earlier, what are your intentions?
Sun Qixing's old face was full of helplessness, and he said with a wry smile,
"This is the first time I entered the cold cave, I found it by chance, when our team entered an ice forest, but got lost in it, although the team finally found a way out, but separated from the team. ”
"After wandering around in that ice forest for more than ten days, the old man finally walked out of the ice forest from another direction, and after passing through that ice forest, it was not far from the entrance of the cold cave!"
"But I don't think I've ever heard of this!" Bai Shaoqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a deep groan.
"Because the ice forest is too dangerous, only the ice forest is marked on the map, and its danger is recorded, and the old man was also selfish back then, so he didn't report this matter, so the map didn't mark the exit on the other side!"
Sun Qixing generously admitted that he was selfish back then, and his tone seemed to be a little helpless about what he had done before.
"That ice forest is indeed marked on the map, but it seems to be very dangerous, how can we pass through that ice forest!" Bai Shaoqiu frowned.
"Hehe, when the old man was able to get out of that ice forest, he took the stupidest method, making marks and hooking maps little by little, and it took a lot of hard work to get out of the ice forest!" Speaking of this, Sun Qixing's face suddenly sank,
"Back then, the old man did have selfish intentions in doing things, but at this moment, the old man is willing to contribute this map, just to be able to reduce the team's losses!"
As he spoke, Sun Qixing had already taken out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from his arms, and judging by the appearance, this piece of paper should have existed for a long time.
After Sun Qixing's explanation, Bai Shaoqiu relieved the doubts in his heart and accepted his statement, although this old man has selfish intentions, he can stand up at this critical moment, and his sincerity is still worthy of recognition.
Of course, Bai Shaoqiu's choice to believe in Sun Qixing is also related to his 'positive performance' in the past few days.
Bai Shaoqiu stretched out his hand to take the piece of paper, and found that there was a winding road map drawn on it, which was the ice forest road map in Sun Qixing's mouth.
Finding that Bai Shaoqiu was looking at the map in his hand, Sun Qixing immediately explained to him,
"Young man, the route in this map may not be exhaustive, but as long as you follow the red line above, it will definitely not be a problem to cross the ice forest! If we take this road, we will definitely be able to save half the time, and we can still gain some ...... in the ice forest."
"Well, I know that......"
Sun Qixing and Bai Shaoqiu gradually walked away, Bai Zhimo didn't follow, he always felt weird, Sun Qixing, the old man, didn't seem to be so simple.
"What? What were you talking about just now?" Fat Wang's sudden voice interrupted Bai Zhimo's thoughts.
"It's nothing, Sun Qixing seems to know a shortcut to go back, we seem to be going to take a shortcut to go back!" Bai Zhimo didn't express the doubts in his heart, but responded very casually.
"It's really weird, Old Man Sun usually has a very strange temperament, why did this suddenly change so much?"
Wang Fat Man muttered to himself in a low voice.
Hearing Wang Fatzi's words, Bai Zhimo realized more and more that there was something wrong with this Sun Qixing-
The first time he explored the Extreme Frozen Cold Cave, that is, two hundred years ago, he left a map, since he had been hiding it for so long, why did he suddenly take it out now!
The reason for reducing the team's losses sounds above board, but it's really unconvincing!
However, Bai Zhimo knew too little about Sun Qixing, and there was no way to find any clues through his changes before and after.
Therefore, he simply didn't bother with that brain, anyway, the sky couldn't fall, and even if it collapsed, there would be a tall man on top, what kind of salty egg heart did he!
The team continued on the road, although Bai Zhimo did not have a map in his hand, he also roughly remembered the distance when he came, and the route they traveled at this time had deviated from the route they came.
It seems that Bai Shaoqiu listened to Sun Qixing's words and chose that shortcut.
Following the directions on the map, three hours later, an icicle suddenly appeared in the middle of the icy road, more than three feet thick, from the ground to the top.
And it is obvious that the corridor here is much wider than before.
"Young boy, after this icicle, let's step into that ice forest!" Sun Qixing whispered beside Bai Shaoqiu.
"Well, it's finally here!"
Bai Shaoqiu nodded, and there was a trace of solemnity on his face, he turned his head slightly, and shouted to the people behind him,
"There is an ice forest in front of you, and there are many forks in the road, everyone follow the team, don't get separated!"
The danger in this ice forest mainly comes from its criss-crossing icicles, and once you get lost in it, you may have a very slim chance of getting out on your own.
Bai Shaoqiu silently put away the map in his hand, because the map only recorded that there was an ice forest in front of him, but the map inside the ice forest was completely unrecorded.
He took out the map given by Sun Qixing, and there was a red line on it, and there was a mark next to the beginning of the red line, which was an icicle.
Follow this red line to walk through the ice forest!
Bai Shaoqiu stepped forward, crossed the icicles, and continued to move forward, and everyone behind followed suit.
It's just that three or five zhang away, two more icicles appeared, and the icicles divided the tunnel into three parts.
Moving on, there are more and more icicles, some of which are directly connected to the ice at the top, some are slim cones, and some are inverted cones.
After they had traveled more than 100 zhang, the surroundings were already completely dense with icicles, and they couldn't see the boundary of the ice road at all.
They have completely entered the ice forest area.
Bai Zhimo looked at the dense icicles around him, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, he took two steps and followed the fat man in front of him, for fear of getting lost in this ice forest.
If you really get lost in this area, you may not be able to get out.
At first, Bai Zhimo could barely remember the route, but as the team went around three times and two times, he had completely lost his sense of direction, surrounded by identical icicles, and he didn't know the way out at all.
In such an environment, if there is no map, I am afraid that I can only run around like a fly without a head!
"Fat brother, this place is a bit evil!" Bai Zhimo whispered beside Wang Fatzi.
"It's really evil enough, and I don't know if you have noticed Xiaobai, since we entered this ice forest, there has not been an ice beast, and I always feel that something is secretly peeking at us!"
Wang Fatzi's observation was more careful than Bai Zhimo's, and he directly pointed out the evil.
"Yes, yes, yes, I also have a feeling of being stared at, the cold hairs on my back are standing up, but it seems that I can't find out where the peeping person is anyway!" Hearing Wang Fatzi's words, Bai Zhimo's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and added.
"For this ice forest, I have heard a legend that there are a large number of ice shoots growing in the depths of this ice forest, which can condense blood qi like the ice species, but the effect is far inferior to the ice species, and after picking the ice bamboo shoots, it seems that something terrible will happen, and there will even be personnel losses!"
Wang Fat Man sighed and continued,
"It's a pity that the person who told me this legend is only hearsay, and I can't know what horrors will be encountered!"
"In other words, the ice shoots here can't be moved!"
Bai Zhimo heard this statement for the first time, but according to this legend, the so-called ice bamboo shoots cannot be picked, otherwise something terrible will happen.
"But we're only on the periphery of the ice forest now, and we haven't found the ice shoots yet, right?"
Although they have not seen what the ice shoots look like, they are all tall icicles, icicles, and ice hangings all the way.
Ice shoots, since it's called that, it shouldn't be more than three feet tall, right?
Half an hour later, although I don't know how far they had gone, I thought it was enough to go deep into the ice forest.
Bai Zhimo followed Wang Fatzi's side, at the back of the team, and at this time he suddenly found that the front of the team seemed to stop, and there was even a commotion.
"There seems to be a situation ahead!" said the fat man, and his body had already walked forward.
This is not like the fat brother's style of action, Bai Zhimo frowned, groaned slightly, and followed behind Wang Fatzi and walked forward together.
Soon, they found out why the team had stopped.
A large cone-shaped ice object appeared in front of it, with a diameter of about seven feet at the bottom and more than two feet high, indicating that it was covered with grayish-white scales the size of a palm.
At this time, Sun Qixing was impassionedly introducing this matter to Bai Shaoqiu.
“...... The old decay doesn't know what this thing is, but it seems to have a certain living characteristic, and if you break this thing, you can also get the ice seed, and its effect is only a little weaker than the first-order ice seed!"
"Although the effect is a little worse, it is enough to make up for it in terms of quantity, there are still a lot of these things in it, and the most important thing is that it will not fight back, there is no danger!"
Bai Shaoqiu had heard that there seemed to be something in the ice forest, and he could easily get the ice seed.
If you can get a sufficient number of ice seeds, it will be a feat, and it may be able to make up for the losses caused to the team by the Battle of the Chills.
Bai Shaoqiu was a little tempted!
