People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 404 One thing brings down another thing

Everyone else's attention was focused on the wolf corpse. At this moment, they were reminded and discovered that there was an additional ice cave here.

However, they had the same idea as Hu Bayi, and they all felt that the ice cave was related to the disappearance of the wolf corpse.

This sudden change disrupted the plans of Chen Ziyan and others, so he had to take everyone out of the fortifications again and go outside to check the situation.

Fortunately, the wind and snow have subsided now, which means that the wolves are unlikely to attack again tonight, otherwise going out rashly will be a huge safety hazard.

After arriving at the ice cave, they discovered that although there was only a small hole on the ice, there was actually a huge crevasse underneath.

Chen Ziyan did not use a flashlight to challenge the ice crevice, but directly brought a searchlight. However, even the searchlight's ultra-long range did not allow them to see the bottom, which shows how deep the ice crevice is.

But when he cast his searchlight on the nearly vertical ice wall of the crevice, Chen Ziyan's eyes suddenly froze, and he saw several scarred giant wolf bodies hanging there in a way that went against the laws of nature.

.

When Wang Kaixuan saw this scene, he thought that these giant wolves were still alive, so he raised his head and shot them without thinking.

This time the fat man was so fast that Hu Bayi next to him didn't even think about stopping him.

"This place should be connected to the underground. It may be the so-called underground world." Hu Bayi expressed his guess.

After all, he knew very well what the situation was like in this place, that is, the current season and climate were suitable, but he couldn't feel anything.

"Does Xue Maitreya have any weaknesses?" Black Glasses asked.

He has never personally come into contact with Xue Maitreya, and all he knows is from his previous life. How can he know what the principle of this thing is.

And because this kind of corpse occupied by monsters looks like a chubby snowman from a distance, the people in the snowy area named it Xue Maitreya.

Immediately everyone started to work. They first put aside the equipment they carried, and then cleared away the snow in this area. After the dark blue ice layer below was exposed, they evenly applied ginger juice on it.

After the ginger juice has penetrated, you can start digging.

It can be clearly seen through the beam of the searchlight that the corpses of these giant wolves have been changed beyond recognition at this moment. The entire head has turned an eye-catching pale white, and it also presents a bloated and swollen posture, and all the sharp teeth are exposed outside the gums.

, the eyes and nose have long since disappeared.

Chen Ziyan didn't hide anything, and nodded lightly: "Although I'm not sure whether I will encounter him, Xue Maitreya has been showing up a lot in recent years, so I made some preparations just in case."

After taking a few more glances at the sudden ice crevice, Chen Ziyan and the others did not stay any longer and quickly returned to the fortifications.

A vivid fantasy brought into reality series!

The location calculated by Hu Bayi was not far from the fortifications, only about thirty meters, and he had arrived within a few steps.

As soon as Hu Bayi said these words, everyone's interest was immediately aroused. If this is true, it means that they will have one more choice next, and it is also a choice that can save a lot of time.

Chen Ziyan said that the current appearance of this thing is really more ferocious than the zombie dogs in the movies of the previous life!

With the help of the Guge Silver Eye and the Golden Tower coordinate map, although there is no way to directly locate the location of the nine-story demon tower, we will not only get a general area. This kind of expansion is the most correct now.

When they dug five or six meters, a large piece of wood similar to a Qilian log appeared in front of them.

The monster will get into the corpse and manipulate the corpse to start moving. This manipulated corpse will bite all creatures it can see. As more humans and animals are devoured, the occupied corpse will become larger and larger.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Master Chen, have you already had Xue Maitreya here?"

In fact, before coming here, Chen Ziyan really thought about Xue Maitreya, but after entering the mountain, a series of things came up, which made him ignore it for the time being.

So now that there is an ice crevice that goes straight to the ground, it's actually not that hard to accept.

This situation is more disturbing than the so-called exhumation.

Under such a premise, he will naturally not come unprepared. Anyway, bringing a bag of salt will not increase the load much. It is fine if you don't use it, but as long as you use it, you will earn it!

"This is really good. Each of us can share some. If that Xue Maitreya dares to come again, I won't make Fatty into a skinny person and make him want to bulge. I asked Fatty if he did it!" Wang Kaixuan!

Hearing this, he immediately became eager to try.

"Mr. Chen, this should be the area." After Hu Bayi studied it for a while with the ancient silver eye, he circled an area of ​​about ten square meters, raised his head and said to Chen Ziyan.

Especially after the accident of the last mountaineering team, it is said that all nearby forces were mobilized and they searched the mountain for five days before giving up.

What else could he have to say about this?

Big salt.

Although he has experienced many similar things, such strange situations are rare.

Chen Ziyan didn't say anything, but took out a cold firework and threw it down. It seemed that he wanted to test the depth of the ice crevice in front of him again.

After telling this legendary story, Chen Ziyan added: "It is said that seven hundred years ago, Xue Maitreya once caused a huge disaster, causing countless casualties to the people in the snowy area. This is mentioned in "The Biography of the Supreme Master Tsongkhapa"

Detailed records.”

"Then let's start." Chen Ziyan was also very satisfied with the result and nodded.

"It's probably not a corpse..." Black Glasses shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "This has completely transformed into another species!"

Others heard the words and saw the ice surface, and found that it was really like that. Although it only took a short time, the ginger juice had completely penetrated into the ice surface.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the next morning. Chen Ziyan and the others simply tidied up and ate something. Then, under the leadership of Hu Bayi, they went to the location he had obtained through Tianxing Feng Shui last night and began to search further.

"Okay, please save it for me." Hu Bayi suppressed the guy helplessly, then looked at the ice and said, "The ginger juice has almost seeped out, we can start working."

But during the melting period, which is the most fragile stage of the main glacier, this place is not the endless glacier like it is now. What you will see at that time will be countless natural ice buckets, ice leaks, ice crevasses, and many artificially constructed ones like before.

Regarding the ice cave, there is nothing wrong with saying that the ice at that time was like a hornet's nest.

Compared to Hu Bayi's somewhat confident guess, Chen Ziyan was very sure of what was underneath.

Now that the time has come, everyone immediately stopped hesitating. After leaving Shirley Yang to pay attention to the surrounding movements, they worked together to start digging out the ice.

"That's unknown." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly.

The sound of bullets coming out of the barrel alarmed the wolf carcasses hanging on the ice wall. They all turned their heads to look up. But just like that, everyone at the edge of the ice cave felt a chill go down their spines. At the same time, they also saw these giant wolves.

The strange state of the corpse.

Now that the wind and snow have completely stopped, if their guess about the source of the wind and snow is correct, it means that the wolves will not make any moves tonight, so the few of them did not wait any longer and began to take turns to rest in an orderly manner.

Regardless of where this ice crevice is connected, as long as it really passes through the area where the nine-story demon tower is located, it is equivalent to directly opening the road to the nine-story demon tower from the side, which is easier than digging from the ice surface.

Much more.

However, we can only wait until tomorrow to verify whether this is feasible.

After cleaning up the area around this piece of wood, we saw that there was no solid ice underneath, but had been replaced by a special structure that combined square wood, round wood, and rammed earth.

Several people were very energetic, and with the assistance of Ginger Jue, they dug very quickly, and the ice in this area was lowered by several meters in a short time.

One thing brings down another thing, it’s really not just talk!

"In terms of weaknesses... Xue Maitreya has two weaknesses. One is that they can only move at night and do not dare to show up during the day even if it is windy and snowy. The second is that they are particularly afraid of salt." Chen Ziyan said slowly.

.

If this were the case, then there would probably be no other living creatures in this snowy area.

"These wolves must have raised their corpses, right? I've heard people tell the story of the big white-haired rice dumplings in the snow-capped mountains!" Wang Kaixuan guessed.

However, not everyone can do this. If it weren't for Hu Bayi, the golden captain, the scale of this circle would have to be expanded at least ten times.

Wang Kaixuan frowned and asked: "Mr. Chen, you haven't made it clear yet. What on earth is this Xue Maitreya?"

Although he didn't read many books, he knew that this statement was unreasonable.

The meaning of this statement is not difficult to understand. It means that this ice crevice is likely to pass by the area where the nine-story demon tower is located.

But to maintain this situation, nutrition must be replenished at any time. If it is not replenished within a few days, the swollen corpse will shrink again. At this time, the monster inside the corpse will re-burrow into the ice and hide, knowing how to find it.

It will not appear again until the next suitable target.

However, Chen Ziyan and the others were not given too much time to observe. The strange wolf corpses below quickly turned their heads and began to crawl deeper into the ice crevice.

He is not a complete layman, and he knows what it means that Hu Bayi can narrow the scope to this extent.

Other than that, Hu Bayi couldn't think of any other explanation.

Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this.

When you see this, you can tell that the subsequent civil work will probably be more troublesome than digging through solid ice.

Even if the original plot is not mentioned, Chen Ziyan will bring something to prevent Xue Maitreya. After all, there have been many accidents in Kunlun in the past two years. The geological team, the archaeological team, the exploration team, and it is said that there is also a multinational mountaineering team.

There were problems in the Kunlun realm, and the culprit was Xue Maitreya.

According to what Chen Ziyan meant, wouldn't it mean that Xue Maitreya would expand without limit after receiving sufficient nutritional supplements?

"Huh?" At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly exclaimed: "This ice crevice... seems to lead to the location I guessed before?"

In the blink of an eye, these giant wolf carcasses escaped from the range limit of the searchlight beam and hid in the deep darkness that was difficult to reach.

An ancient horror legend has been circulating among the nomads in the snowy area. According to legend, in the majestic and mysterious snow-capped mountains, there is a monster living under the ice. Whenever it is quiet at night, this monster will come out of the ice and sneak around.

Loot the recently deceased corpse.

If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a bag of this stuff among the supplies they carried, but he didn't expect it to be used on Xue Maitreya.

Now that the general area has been drawn, it’s time to take the next step!

Compared with how Xue Maitreya swells, he is more concerned about the weaknesses, because it is related to their vital interests.

Chen Ziyan was already paying attention to this information when he planned to come to the Snowy Region, so he knew about it.

It's useless to say anything else right now. It's more important to clear the ice here first. It's more important to determine the specific location of the nine-story demon tower.

And she felt that this guess was more realistic than the unlimited expansion of the corpse.

This is also the fundamental reason why Chen Ziyan chose to come at this time, because at this time, it will not be difficult to break the ice due to the cold wave, and he does not have to worry about the thin ice falling into the bottomless abyss anytime and anywhere. This is the best time.

The time to take action.

As the legendary "Sea of ​​Disaster", accidents of this level can only be regarded as sprinkles, and are completely within the acceptable range.

Not to mention the depth of the ice crevice, we didn’t even see much of the conditions along the way.

Hearing that he was carrying targeted weapons, he no longer had any fear at all, and now he wanted to directly fight with the opponent.

While waiting for the ginger juice to penetrate, Chen Ziyan also briefly explained the information he knew about Xue Maitreya.

Chen Ziyan nodded slightly: "It should be."

She felt that this behavior pattern was very similar to that of some special fungi, or maybe some special insects.

But after the cold fireworks fell, there was some effect at first, but as the cold fireworks fell, they could only see a smaller and smaller bright spot, until this weak bright spot was completely swallowed up by the darkness below, and there was no trace of it.

Can you see something of value?

"Is this Xue Maitreya not a separate individual? Maybe the so-called expansion is not a change in the body, but more Xue Maitreya gathering together?" Shirley Yang put forward her own idea.

Fortunately, they had a lot of manpower and prepared enough tools. Although it was a little more troublesome, it was not a big obstacle. After digging for about half an hour, they finally reached the edge of the nine-story monster building.

Looking at a small piece of the nine-story monster building in front of him, Hu Bayi turned to look at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, should we continue digging downward, or start from the ice crevice?"

There is no doubt that the current situation has reached the time to make a decision.

If you choose to start from the crevice, there is no need to put in more effort here.
