A dozen Frost Trolls escaped from the mountains in embarrassment and galloped 2 miles away on skateboards. Each human body was covered with a layer of ice that was difficult to melt. Although it was not thick, it caused serious frostbite.
Zanla stood in the middle of the frost trolls. The advance team's awkward appearance made him frown slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
A search centurion in the advance team stood up and said: "Master Zanla Corps, the ice attribute energy in the ice mist is very strong. Even if an excellent troll warrior walks inside, it will not take three to five minutes. It's frozen. This iceberg area is completely covered by ice fog, and we have to wait for the ice fog to clear before we can go in."
Zanla raised his head and stared at the iceberg with cold eyes. Now it was covered in blue ice mist for more than ten miles, so it was impossible to identify what was inside.
"Lord Commander of the Corps." This is another search centurion gliding over. "There are traces of armored vehicles driving near the iceberg."
"Is it the Snow Clan?"
"It's not ruled out, but it's unlikely. It's suspected to be an alien race. Judging from the track marks of the armored vehicle, it is suitable for traveling on land and mountains, which is relatively backward. The Snow Tribe improved the track device a hundred years ago and adopted a more efficient and lightweight track structure. .”
Zanla decided to go into the iceberg to investigate in person, but as soon as he stepped into the iceberg, the cold ice energy, like tarsal maggots, immediately covered his body and was constantly eroding his body. Zanla used the unique secret technique of the frost trolls to form a thick layer of ice on the body to protect the body from harm, but it had no effect.
The ice energy contained in the blue-white ice mist is like poisonous needles thinner than ox hair, penetrating the ice and acting directly on the body.
Life continues to diminish.
Zanla is powerful and has the confidence to persist for a while, but it is meaningless. The surrounding areas are obscured by ice fog, ordinary vision is greatly affected, and the heat vision ability is useless. This environment is not conducive to investigation. After staying for half an hour, I gained nothing and could only exit the iceberg.
The ice fog is gradually dissipating.
The frost trolls have no choice but to wait patiently.
Zanla issued an order: "Stay nearby!" He gave up investigating the strange phenomenon for the time being, but he could not delay the investigation of the treasure. "Immediately dig through the ice on the ground and find the location of the treasure palace!"
"yes!"
…
The ice world is vast, dark and deep!
Dozens of mercenaries walked for more than an hour.
Level-by-level ice ladders circle around the inside of the hollow cylinder and stretch down into the bottomless darkness. The magic torch burns feebly, and the crisp snapping sound of combat boots stepping on the ice is the only sound in the mysterious world.
Another hour of walking.
The frozen and dark world is almost crazy. The depth is increasing, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and there is a large amount of ice powder floating in the air that can be seen with the naked eye. At this moment, the ambient temperature was far lower than at night in the ice field. Everyone's hands and feet were numb, affected by the frost effect, and their activities were affected to a certain extent.
Chen Tingting and Qin Xiaoshi put on the snow bear skin coats they had prepared, but they still didn't feel warm and could only use torches to warm their little hands from time to time.
"Ah, what is that!"
Du Rongrong screamed in fright.
Lei Ming asked: "What's wrong?"
Du Rongrong pointed at the ice wall and said, "There is something in here!"
Everyone cast suspicious glances, and someone shined a torch at the ice wall. The ice wall was three feet thick and almost completely transparent. Under the light of the fire, it revealed a deep blue color, like a large piece of flawless and pure jade.
Du Rongrong scratched her head: "No, I obviously saw it!"
Huang Tian said to the priest: "Use lighting magic!"
Priests, including Lin Caiyan, all cast the F+ level light spell [Light Spell]. This spell has basically no attack effect, but it has a certain deterrent effect on dark and undead monsters. It is very suitable for lighting in dark environments.
Four luminous energy balls rose from the steps. Each light ball illuminated a 20-meter range. Lin Caiyan was the most spirited. The light ball could illuminate a 40-meter range. The whole piece was presented in front of the eyes, which was almost unobstructed.
No one saw anything, just when they thought it was a false alarm.
A huge black shadow swept across the ice wall.
"Huh?!"
Everyone clenched their weapons.
Sanggou frowned and said, "There's really something!"
Zhang Mu recognized the shape of the black shadow, nodded and said, "A fish!"
The fat man was surprised: "Can fish live in ice?"
Long Hao said: "Our current location is about 300-400 meters above the ground ice. The average thickness of the ice is about 200 meters. Obviously, we have passed through thick ice. If we cut through the ice, it will be cold. The bone-piercing sea water will completely submerge this in an instant.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Did you go so deep
If the ice wall breaks at this time, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, there will be only a dead end!
However, the ice wall is as hard as iron and is one to twenty meters thick. Unless the ice wall is severely impacted by external forces, there is no need to worry about being submerged by sea water.
Everyone continues walking down.
About another hour of walking.
"The current depth is 600-700 meters below the surface ice!" Zhang Mu's teeth were trembling in the cold, and his fingers were already frozen. "Finally... it's over!"
This spiraling ice staircase ended, and the mercenary walked into an underground ice cave. It is as big as a football field and is lined with icicles of different shapes, like a cave.
There are ice pools of different sizes on the ground, about fourteen or five, filled with a blue and shimmering water.
[Inferior frozen water], E-grade material, a kind of magic mineral water, can still maintain the form of water at ultra-low temperatures of minus 100 degrees.
"This is a good material. I have seen it in the library." Leng Yun whispered: "Drinking frozen water in moderation can effectively treat fire damage. In addition, this water is widely used in alchemy and forging, and has The effect of maintaining stability and increasing success rate.”
This water is not ordinary water, it is an alchemical material.
A dozen pools in total.
It’s worth at least several million gold coins!
If you don’t bring a container, you can only look at it, but you can’t take it away.
A few unreliable mercenaries put their hands in, but they were instantly frozen and their entire palms turned into popsicles.
"Pity!"
The mercenary felt very sorry.
If freezing water can be carried out, Zhang Mu can make a lot of money even if he sells it in batches to a mysterious businessman. This material can only be produced in extremely cold environments. It is a good medicine for treating fire damage and alleviating fire damage. The mysterious businessman buys it in large quantities and then resells it in extremely hot areas, and the value will immediately increase several times!
In addition, the use of frozen water in alchemy and forging can increase the success rate and improve the quality to a certain extent.
The wider the application range of materials, the easier it will be to sell!
More than a dozen pools of frozen water.
Who knows how many bottles it can hold, but the conservative estimate is over 2 million gold coins!
If placed in other areas, especially hot volcanic lava lands, the value will increase by about three times.
A mercenary asked: "Is this the treasure?"
"No, although it is very valuable, it is not a treasure." Long Hao replied: "It is just a naturally formed magic material in the environment."
Lei Ming couldn't help but sigh, "I have made amazing discoveries without entering the treasure. This trip is really worth it!"
Lin Caiyan was wrapped in thick snow and said outside: "Let's... let's leave quickly. It's too cold here. If we stay for one second longer, we will freeze."
Probably affected by the frozen pool and the depth of 700 meters, the temperature here is extremely low.
Every time you take a breath, there is an extremely fine white powder in the ice mist, which is also found in the surrounding environment. It is light and thin, like snowflakes. In fact, it is not snowflakes, but carbon dioxide turns into solid at extremely low temperatures, that is The so-called dry ice makes every inhalation painful!
If we had a human body on earth, let alone treasure hunting activities, our lungs would be frostbitten in less than 5 minutes.
The mercenaries should prepare some potions, scrolls or magic items that temporarily increase ice resistance in advance. Whenever they feel unable to hold on, they should immediately use the items to relieve themselves. It’s not a good place to stay for a long time, so find the treasure as soon as possible!
Dozens of mercenaries were groping in the dark space under the ice.
Outside the frozen pool, several types of ice crystals and ice magic crystals were found besides the mercenaries, which are about level 2-4 precious materials!
Because it was wrapped in thick ice, it was not easy to collect, so we gave up digging for the time being.
"Find a door!"
After a thorough search, the mercenaries found a metal door sealed by ice.
Because the metal door made of silver alloy is a completely different color from the ice cubes, it is easy to find. When the mercenaries broke the outer layer of ice, they burned the metal door with flames, causing the ice in the cracks to melt.
This door is more like it was made by goblins. It is very precise and meticulous, full of technology, and does not require violent cracking. A famous thief in China learned the [Super Lock Picking Technique]. After a few attempts, the door was opened, and a burst of ice water was released the moment it was opened. Rushing in, in this kind of environment, if you get wet with water, you will definitely not end well. Everyone quickly got out of the way. When the water in the passage almost flowed in, a long and narrow passage appeared in the field of vision.
Zhang Mu looked along the passage. The passage was like a thin crystal pipe, which seemed to be very fragile. It extended from the underground space into the endless dark ice ocean. At the end of the passage, there was a faint light, but he could not see what it was.
"The water is not drained."
"Step on the ice floes and try to avoid getting wet."
Dozens of mercenaries started to take action, and they all entered the crystal tube. There was darkness all around. The crystal tube was quite thin. If it broke, dozens of people would be submerged in the ice water in an instant, and they would be buried forever in the endless dark and cold ice sea world. .
There are black shadows shaking around from time to time.
Giant fish or monsters in the ice sea world are wandering around with eager eyes.
Dozens of people were cautious, not daring to use torches for fear of angering the mysterious creatures.
It was impossible to move forward in such an environment without getting wet at all. In fact, within ten minutes of walking out, most people were already half wet, covered in ice, and shivering from the cold.
"Hold on for a few minutes, we'll be there!"
The shimmering exit was getting closer and closer.
The mercenaries fantasized about the endless treasures of the Ice King, and could not help but ignore the physical pain. They all speeded up and moved forward.
The exit is close at hand.
