"When the tide comes, will all the monsters run to the edge of the polar region and outside?"
"Only low-level monsters would behave like this."
As they walked on the snowy plain, Mary felt that the plain was more empty than before. Because her physical strength could not keep up, they could not leave the lighthouse too far and had to turn back after walking a certain distance.
Murray told her that far ahead, there was a glacier that would never freeze, and that the glacier would still flow even in the coldest weather.
"Standing on the nearby iceberg, you can see blue water veins and cliff-like icebergs next to them." Murray discovered that Meili liked this kind of scenery. Although she didn't say it, she would open her eyes wide when she saw these strange scenery, looking at them carefully without blinking.
Meili was really interested in what he said, "Really? I really want to go and see it if I have the chance!"
Murray: "Go and see it. Go today."
Meili hesitated again, "It's too far. I can't get back at night."
Murray snorted and laughed, his tone confident and arrogant, "If you can't make it back, just sleep over there. With me here, everything will be fine."
Mary really prepared everything and followed Muri to see the polar glacier that would never freeze.
The scenery along the first part of the road was similar, but later on, she began to see scenery she had never seen before. A cluster of icebergs, some only two people tall, and some so large that she couldn't see the top even if she looked up.
These snow-white, hard icebergs of various sizes are piled up in a random pattern along the way. Each iceberg is steep and rugged and looks impossible to climb.
Passing by an iceberg, Mary saw a monster skeleton frozen on the wall of the iceberg, with many bone spurs protruding from the iceberg, like a tree growing out of the mountain.
"Muri, look, there's a monster skeleton frozen on that iceberg." Mary pulled Muri and shared with him.
Muri: "This place was all water before, but now it's frozen. The monster might have died in the sea, and was washed up by the waves, and then piled up into an iceberg, and then it froze there."
In fact, many of these icebergs contain frozen skeletons of various animals, and some contain frozen fish.
Seeing that the cluster of bone spurs was not very high from the ground, Muri pulled down the thick blanket on his body, pulled out the two bone spurs hanging around his waist, and suddenly jumped two meters high, and the bone spurs in his hand pierced the wall of the iceberg.
He used the bone spur to swing his body and jump to a higher place. He then stabbed another bone spur into the ice wall and stepped on it in a few steps to reach the middle of the frost-covered mountain wall.
Mary chased him to the edge of the mountain wall holding his thick blanket, touched the white mountain wall, and immediately withdrew her hand because she was so cold, and just looked up to see what he was going to do.
Murray shook the frozen skeleton of the monster in the mountain wall and shouted to the ground, "Get out of the way."
Meli stepped back and saw him raise his hand and casually break off the monster bones frozen in the iceberg, letting them fall to the ground piece by piece, making continuous crackling sounds and raising a cloud of snow dust.
He broke off the bunch of monster skeletons, looked at the high distance, and actually jumped down directly, not forgetting to collect the bone spurs on the way.
His new cape flew up behind him, and he landed on the ground, easily cushioning the pressure of landing by squatting.
Mary was frightened by him. She looked at the scary height, then looked at him, looked at him, and then looked at the height again.
Murray squatted down and fiddled with the pile of bones, saying casually, "I can jump higher."
Meili once again exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "You are so amazing!"
After sighing, I asked him again: "What are you doing?"
Every time Murray was praised by her, he was very easy to talk to, answering every question, and saying in a soft tone, "I'll make something for you to play with."
"Let me play?"
Mary didn't understand what was going on, but watched him snap a few bent bones together, quickly forming a shallow plate shape.
After finishing this thing, Murray excitedly put her on the plate, and when she looked confused, he pushed the big plate forward forcefully.
This area used to be all water, but now it is covered with a thick layer of ice, with only a thin layer of snow on top, which is quite slippery. The bone plate was stressed and slid out quickly on the ice.
Mellie: “Ahhh—”
Murray: “Hahahahahahaha—”
This was so exciting that when the big plate under her slowed down and then stopped, Meili let out a breath of shock. Murray's move was too sudden, and she was not prepared, and her heart was pounding.
Murray caught up with her and asked her, "Is it fun?"
This was by no means fun, but Mary had never played anything like this before. Thinking about it now, there was a certain excitement amidst the fear.
She was still hesitating whether to nod or not, but Murray had already held down the big plate and threw her out on the ice again.
This time was even more exciting than before. She slid forward in circles on the ice. She felt dizzy and suddenly lost her balance and fell forward, falling forward with the frisbee.
If she hadn't been holding a thick blanket, she would have probably gotten a big bump on her forehead.
When Murri saw her fall, he was also shocked and ran over to pull her out of the snow.
"Why did I fall?" He was puzzled.
Because she didn't have as good a sense of balance as he did.
Mary shook off the snow on her head, looked at Muri's excitement, and felt that maybe he wanted to play this more than she did.
She got up and said, "I don't want to play this anymore. Come on, I'll push you."
Muri felt that her thin arms were not enough to push him, but he still sat on the big plate as he was told and filled it up.
Mary stood behind him and pushed him with all her might.
Just now, Mary flew out as light as a fallen leaf, but now Muri is as heavy as a stone, unable to fly, and can only move slowly if pushed.
Muri faced the distance, quietly feeling the snail-like speed of movement.
Meili: "Whiff-Whiff-"
Murri heard her grunting behind him, turned around and saw that she had only been pushed out for a little more than two meters.
"Let's sit together," Murray suggested, and he followed through. He placed Mellie in front of him, stretched out his feet beside him, and began to skate.
They did slide out, but the speed was still very slow and inconvenient. What was worse was that after a while of struggling, the big bone plate that could not bear the combined weight of the two of them was shattered on the spot.
After sitting on a butt full of broken bones, Murray stood up, feeling a little regretful as he hadn't had enough fun.
After a while, Murray came up with a new way to play. He took the thick blanket that Meili was holding, put it on the ice, and slapped the blanket with his big hands. "Come up and sit here. I'll drag you along."
Meili squatted down as she was told, like a well-behaved red fox.
Murray grabbed the two corners of the thick blanket with one hand and ran out without saying a word.
Mary leaned back and somersaulted out. Muri, dragging the blanket with him, had run far away. Mary sat there in a daze, unable to recover.
Mary: “???” That’s it
Finding the weight on his hands lighter, Murray ran back swinging the blanket. He had not given up on this game yet, and he suggested to Mary very seriously, "You can lie down and grab the long hair on the blanket, so you won't fall easily."
Mary also thought this was the truth and it would definitely work this time.
She lay down, holding Changmao firmly, and told Murray, "It's OK!"
When Murray heard the signal, he rushed out like an arrow.
It was actually pretty good at the beginning. Mary only saw the rapidly retreating icebergs, but Muri seemed to be getting more and more excited as he ran. It was so fast that she could hardly catch his fur. Then, she felt her hands were empty and she naturally slipped away and lay down in the snow with a peaceful look on her face.
And Murray, who accidentally left her behind, went away again with the empty blanket.
Then he turned back to look for the lost Mary.
Murray ran back and saw Meili sitting with her back to him, her shoulders shaking. He was startled and thought, could she be crying because she was hurt from the fall
It's so scary.
He walked to her side with heavy steps, "You..."
But Meili looked up with a smile on her face. When she saw him, she even laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha!"
It was the first time that Murray saw her smile so happily. She usually smiled, but that kind of smile made people feel that she was very nice, but not very happy.
She was like a red fox, not as cunning as the other foxes, and more melancholy than the other foxes.
Murray squatted beside her and laughed at her for a while.
After a while, Meili stopped laughing. She looked at the long-haired animal in her hand, let it go, and tried to get up slowly. Her face suddenly turned bitter, and she whispered, "It hurts, hiss—"
Murray threw a thick blanket over his shoulders and picked her up skillfully, "Then we won't play anymore."
Meili leaned against his chest, rubbing her head and waist, "Let's play next time."
Murray pretended that he didn't want to play and agreed, "Okay, let's talk about it next time."
When he was very young, his grandfather seemed to have played a similar game with him, but this memory was also short-lived and he never had it again.
He could survive here alone, but he couldn't have much fun.
Meili saw the glacier that Murray had mentioned.
It was even more beautiful than she had imagined. Because it was so deep, it turned into a dreamy blue color. Against the white contrast on both sides, it was breathtakingly bright, like a solidified blue crystal.
They walked slowly along the bank of the glacier, walking on the clearest and most distinct boundary line.
The towering iceberg on the opposite bank is like a giant crawling snow beast, staring motionlessly at this land of ice and snow.
Everything seemed too clean.
Mary wanted to stay by the glacier for a little longer, but her body couldn't stand the cold and she was still shivering even wrapped in a blanket.
Muri was digging holes in the nearby small icebergs. These icebergs may have existed for tens of millions of years and were extremely hard. Under Muri's claws, the hard ice fragments fell down with a click.
After quickly digging the hole, Muri carried Mary in and crawled in. The entrance was blocked with crushed ice and snow, leaving only a small gap.
Mary returned to the state she was in when she first entered the polar region, hiding in Muri's clothes and relying on her warm white fur to resist the cold.
After she recovered, she moved. Murray let go of one of the hands that was holding her, put it behind his head, and looked up.
The snow cave was not dark. On the contrary, the broken ice reflected bright light like broken diamonds. The translucent ice itself was more like a hazy and solidified fog, wrapping them in the middle.
