Chu Zihang paused and said: "As for Yan Ling... it's still Jun Yan as before, but it feels easier to release and control."
In fact, Chu Zihang still had some concerns that Fingel had not said before. The problems caused by the violent bloodshed had disappeared, and now the golden pupils could be turned on and off freely.
During the battle, he felt that he could still use the violent blood technique to strengthen, and there would no longer be any side effects. Faintly, he seemed to feel that he had embarked on an unknown evolutionary path.
Fingel suddenly grabbed Lu Chen's arm with a serious look on his face, "Junior brother, next time you go to engage in that mysterious organization, please be sure to take me with you."
He glanced at Chu Zihang again and complained: "Isn't this bullying? I am no match for Junior Brother Chu even if I use Shangyan Ling to fight."
As he spoke, he added: "Oh, Yan Ling, Bronze Throne, Junior Brother Chu should have seen it just now."
Having used the Word Spirit in an emergency, Fingel knew that he could not hide it. Besides, they seemed to be trapped in the snowfield now, and they didn't know what kind of battle they would face. It would be better for everyone to know each other's combat capabilities.
"So, senior brother, you are the Bronze Throne. Isn't this a very powerful word spirit? How did you get to E level?"
Lu Chenxiao glanced at Senior Brother Fingel, thinking that the reason why he never graduated was probably not just because of failing the class, but probably for his own purpose.
"Hey, do you think everyone is a top student like Junior Brother Chu? I'm not like you, Junior Brother, who can earn points through difficult tasks, so I can only keep repeating the grade."
Fingel looked helpless.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Now that Brother Chu is awake, we should get back to the topic."
Lu Chen put down the empty can in his hand. The supplies were said to be enough for a few people for half a month, but after the battle, he opened his stomach and ate, and one meal was enough for Chu Zihang and Fingel for several days.
And he glanced at Chu Zihang, who had finished one can and opened another, and found that the other person also had a tendency to be a foodie like himself.
Fingel and Lu Chen roughly recounted what happened in the past few days, and Lu Chen concluded: "In short, it seems that we are not in the Nibelungs now, but we are trapped. The situation is somewhat similar to what we did in Kinlunga before. When in the cloister.”
After hearing this, Chu Zihang pondered for a moment, "Brother Lu, did you say that just after the battle, you could still contact the execution department using a satellite phone?"
Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, we asked the execution department to prepare the serum at that time, but it is no longer needed now."
Chu Zihang glanced at the high-hanging sun, then took the mechanical watch and looked at the time.
"According to my observations, we should still be in the Arctic and have not entered the Nibelungen. There was still a signal on the satellite phone at the end of the battle, indicating that our encounter with the black snake group was not due to intrusion or being pulled into the Nibelungen. ”
Chu Zihang looked at the group of giant python corpses not far away and said, "Use the rest."
Fingel expressed doubts: "This doesn't make sense. If these guys are not dragons in the Nibelungs, then how come there are such hordes of monsters in this area of the Arctic? The biggest Hydra, on the satellite Don’t be too conspicuous, okay?”
Chu Zihang analyzed: "Then this means there are two possibilities. One is that these black snakes live deep in the Arctic and usually hide in places that cannot be photographed by satellites. The other possibility is that... they come from Nepal. Coming out of Bolongan.”
As he said that, Chu Zihang seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, the Hydra you fought with, and the word spirit used later, is the Eye of the Wind King?"
They were far away at that time, and Chu Zihang was not 100% sure. He wanted to confirm rigorously.
"I'm actually not sure. I just feel the power of the spirit. It should be from the wind system."
Lu Chen said that this was the first time he had seen this kind of word spirit. He felt that the college should actually open classes for everyone for practical purposes, so that students could see the characteristics of various kinds of word spirits. This was far more useful than just talking about it in textbooks.
Chu Zihang nodded, "Senior Brother Fingel and I have seen a few giant pythons, and have also used Word Spirits. There are all types of spirits, but the dragon blood in their bodies is very thin, the Word Spirits are weak, and their body size is They are dangerous places."
"Junior Brother Chu, what's the use of asking these questions?"
Fingel was a little puzzled.
"I just think that if these giant pythons come out of the Nibelung roots, I can't say for sure, but most of them should be from the lineage of the Dragon King of Bronze and Fire, but now almost all of them are Yes, this means that the place they came from may not be the same place as the Nibelung we are looking for.”
Chu Zihang reasoned.
"What!?"
Fingel stood up from the ground, looking surprised, "You mean, there is more than one Nibelung in the Arctic! Or even more than one Dragon King!?"
"Senior brother, please calm down. It doesn't matter how many there are. I don't want to wander around on the ice field now. Whoever you love, just pull me in."
Lu Chen yawned, feeling very bored these days.
"Brother Lu is right. No matter where these snakes come from, it is a good thing for us. As you just said, we have been running on the ice sheet these days and haven't even seen polar bears or other creatures. We Maybe it was trapped in a gap, or maybe the Dragon King sent out some kind of field, which dispersed the creatures in this area and interfered with our direction. "
Chu Zihang is also eager to try now. Finding the Nibelungen is their only breakthrough point now.
Otherwise, when there are no living creatures, after they finish eating the food, they will not be able to catch game even if they want to eat it. They cannot eat those disgusting and poisonous pythons.
"I felt that I had not taken the wrong path before. I compared the direction of the sun and returned along the road we started, but ended up returning to this snake cemetery."
Lu Chen frowned slightly. If the Dragon King didn't accept the guests, they seemed to have nothing to do now.
Chu Zihang pondered for a while and said, "Brother Lu, have you tried... to continue walking in?"
Fingel was confused: "Going in?"
"Just go in the opposite direction of the way back."
Chu Zihang realized that Lu Chen had previously said that he was taking him in the direction of the Gurfaksi, but he did not go in the opposite direction.
"Going a hundred or two hundred kilometers further, it should be the extreme, right?"
Lu Chen estimated in his mind that if they didn't run around in circles after setting off, this place was indeed not too far from the pole.
"Now we have no way out. Instead of continuing to turn back and eventually circle back, we might as well try going in the opposite direction. If we can get to the extreme, we may be able to find some other clues."
After Chu Zihang finished speaking, he glanced at Senior Brother Fingel, "Brother, do you still need to continue to rest? If you have enough energy, let's take a walk first and try while the daylight is better."
Fingel raised his hands and said, "I have eaten and drank enough, but 'walking' is not an option. But we have two coachmen now, and I think you, Junior Brother Chu, can run quite well now."
Lu Chen said: "I'll do it. It's still very heavy, including the black mystery."
The job of pulling a cart is a bit cheap, but they should consider the overall strength of the team. It doesn't take much effort for him to run, and Chu Zihang had better think more about how to get out of this ghost place.
After a few people decided, they set off. Since Chu Zihang was fine, Fingel had experienced snow racing this time. In just one hour, Lu Chen ran more than 200 kilometers.
Chu Zihang got off the sled, looked at the sun in the sky, compared the time on the mechanical watch, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the extreme."
Fingel came down and rubbed his hands and stamped the ground, "But there is nothing here, only a tattered American flag."
The tattered little flag in front of Lu Chen, which had been frozen tightly, could still be seen as the American flag, which also proved in disguise that they were on the right track.
This was left behind by the explorer Peary after he led his team to the North Pole at the beginning of the last century. It is said that this is the American flag made by his wife, which means that they completed this great conquest.
Lu Chen reached out and pulled out the flag, but he didn't expect that the accumulated ice and snow had made it very brittle and it broke.
"Junior brother, does this count as destroying cultural relics?"
Fingel laughed.
Lu Chen threw the flag to the ground, "What kind of cultural relic is this? It's like an enclosure. It's more like leaving a personal adventure flag."
It turns out that they ran in opposite directions without making any circles. According to the distance he ran, they arrived here without taking any detours.
And he had a strange feeling in his heart along the way. The snowfield scenery around him was supposed to be the same, but for some reason, he felt as if he had seen it before.
Lu Chen thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Brother Chu, you said that the earth is round. Since running in the opposite direction does not spin, if I continue to walk forward, can I leave the North Pole from the other side?"
Chu Zihang squatted down and inspected the nearby glacier, then raised his head and replied, "You can try it."
After making the decision, Lu Chen took Chu Zihang and Fingel and continued running forward. About an hour and a half later, Lu Chen stopped.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"
Chu Zihang got off the sled and observed the surrounding environment. He had an excellent memory and thought about whether he had walked the same path again.
"It's nothing, it just feels a little strange. Just be prepared and I'll run a little longer and have a look."
Lu Chen shook his head, then pulled up the rope and continued moving forward.
After running for another hour, Lu Chen frowned. He couldn't see any living things. There was only the whistling of wind and snow in the sky and earth, and he felt that the nearby environment was becoming more and more familiar.
This time it was not because of the weird feeling from the first time, but because he was really familiar with it, because he had just seen it not long ago. He ran for another five minutes and saw the flag he threw on the ground, and knew that they were there again. Circling back to the source.
"Brother Lu, please rest for a while. If you just run, you can't get out."
Chu Zihang persuaded, Lu Chen nodded, and they set up camp and began to rest and eat.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Chen looked at Fingel who was walking aside and wondered.
"Didn't your hometown say that if you encounter this kind of situation, you only need to pee to solve it? Let me try."
Fingel untied his belt and carefully poured out the water in the sharp cold wind. He still held his dirty long knife in his hand. Under Lu Chen's stern eyes, he poured out the water and knocked it, in order to prevent it from freezing. Just freeze his good brother.
Lu Chen was a little speechless, "We had this issue last time at Jin Lunga Corridor. It was related to the Dragon King. How could there be such an unreliable solution? Besides, Brother Fingel, what our hometown said is Want the baby to urinate."
After listening to Lu Chen's words, Fingel's trembling body paused for a moment, then carefully lifted up his pants, turned around and asked tentatively: "How about... Junior brother, can you try?"
The veins on Lu Chen's forehead were exposed, and Fingel quickly made a "shut up" expression.
"It's not an option to continue like this. Even if the bodies of those giant pythons can be eaten, we can't live here for the rest of our lives."
Chu Zihang's eyes were also serious.
Fingel came over and said: "What are you afraid of? We now have food, ice and drink. Originally, fuel was a big problem, but now, Junior Brother Chu, you are just a human gas tank. As for saying that we have finished eating, don't forget at our feet."
Fingel said, pointing to the thick ice.
"Catching fish? Is there a place so cold?"
This is Lu Chen's knowledge blind spot again.
Chu Zihang nodded and said: "Theoretically, it is possible. The average thickness of the ice in the Arctic is between two and three meters. Below is the ice sea, where many kinds of fish such as Arctic cod live."
But Chu Zihang's words changed, "But now we can't see any creatures on the shore. The bottom of the sea is probably also affected by this strange field. The possibility of finding fish is very low."
Lu Chen didn't care about this. Since he knew a possibility, he wanted to try it first. He carried Hei Xuan and ran a distance, found a place with thin ice, dug a big hole with his knife.
Fingel also came over curiously, and the two of them stared at the ice cave for more than ten minutes without seeing a single fish.
Chu Zihang came over, took a look and shook his head: "Probably not. Once the ice opens in a place like this, if there are fish, they will tend to oxygen and they will slowly gather around. This is also one of the principles of ice fishing. one."
Lu Chen didn't believe in evil, so he dug holes in several places, but found nothing. When he was about to dig another hole and give up if there were no fish, he let out a light sigh and leaned down to look at the cut corners on the ice.
"Brother Chu, come and take a look."
Hearing this, Chu Zihang ran over all the way, while Fingel lay down beside the ice cave without giving up, waiting for a miracle.
Lu Chen turned the blade and cut off the ice. There was something green in the ice more than one meter wide.
Lifting it up and using the sunlight, Lu Chen and Chu Zihang saw clearly what it was. It was a bronze statue with the head of a snake and a body. Both of them had happy looks in their eyes.
They may have found some clues.
Chu Zihang controlled Jun Yan, carefully melted the ice cubes, and took out the bronze statue inside. This bronze statue was made with meticulous workmanship. Even the folds between the robes and the golden threads on the collar were lifelike. They were definitely not cast with a mold. , but the carvings are all for gypsum wood, how could anyone start with bronze
In addition, this thing looked very old, Chu Zihang speculated that it might be something revealed from the legendary bronze city.
They found it, maybe near the pole!
