Rebirth of the Viking King
Chapter 88 3.11 The last person in the array
The main purpose of this voyage north is to find the ships left behind by Xiao Lu's expedition team. At this time, I saw the sea surface solidly frozen by ice, but I didn’t see the ship.
This is not a good sign.
But the "living sacrifice" points to exactly the same direction. The next howl came from within the ice.
Loki knew that now was the time for him, the captain, to make a decision.
We have gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, but it is unjustifiable not to go ashore and take a look. After thinking briefly for a few minutes, he decided to let out the sled dogs and run toward the location where the sound came from to see what was deep in the smooth ice.
There are only 12 sled dogs and only two sled cars. The limited transportation space determines that most of the crew still have to stay on the ship. There are many fish in the nearby sea, and the glaciers that can be seen everywhere on the land are also made of fresh water.
The ship docked here, so there was no shortage of food and drinking water.
At this time, the sky was covered with stars. After the Vikings loaded a large amount of food and fresh water, dog biscuits for the sled dogs, and ravens for communication onto the sled, Loki found that only five more people could sit on the sled.
In the end, Loki, Emma, the ship's doctor Lawrence Nightingale, and Mr. Gore Marash, who was almost on the verge of death, accompanied Loki and set off. 4 of the 5 people are chosen by God, plus one explorer.
Of course, there was also the "living sacrifice" in the car who was responsible for shouting. A series of high-frequency shouts can accurately point out the direction for Loki. In this era without GPS, this thing is much easier to use than a compass.
It is worth mentioning that the ship's doctor Lawrence kept talking about carrying the huge cross behind him all the way. When he got on the sleigh, he did not put it down but continued to carry the weight.
"The light of the Holy Lord will eventually shine on this dark continent. At this time, the name of our Hanshui Village Evangelical Church will be spread in the mouths of all the Holy Lord monks."
Lawrence gave his own explanation, and Loki said nothing more.
Everyone officially started the adventure as the crew waved goodbye. The sled dogs, which had been suffocating in the cabin for nearly a month, were finally able to relax after being released. They were full of energy and ran tirelessly. Six sled dogs pulling a sled can reach a speed of almost 20 kilometers per hour.
They galloped all night. When the sun appeared the next day, they stopped.
Looking around, Loki found that after running all night, they were still on a slippery ice surface. There are no caves or vegetation here, just endless flat ice and a few icebergs frozen in place like hills.
After the sun appeared, it just made a small circle close to the horizon, and immediately sank under the frozen earth. Loki's intuition told him that even if this place was not within the Arctic Circle, it must not be far from it.
The sled dogs have been running for nearly 6 hours. They needed a rest, and after sitting in the uncomfortable sleigh for six hours in the cold wind, Loki felt like he was on the verge of collapse.
But there was nothing on the frozen sea. They could only find the foot of an iceberg to block the wind. Then everyone encountered another problem.
There is no firewood here.
In the severe cold of about minus 30 degrees, humans must rely on campfires if they want to rest. Otherwise, once they fall asleep in the ice and snow, whether they can wake up depends on the arrangements of the gods in the sky.
In desperation, Loki could only smash a large wooden box on the sled, and then tied the hands and feet of the "living sacrifice" with ropes into the shape of a large bowl and put the supplies inside.
In this way, everyone barely survived the first night.
When they woke up, the chopped wooden boxes had been burned long ago. The cold wind at night made the four of them shiver, and they only slept for a few hours. Loki huddled in the bearskin and thought for a long time——
Do you want to return here?
At this time, his situation was already much better than at the beginning. Hanshui Village has just annexed Wuya Town. It needs people, money, and two sailing ships that can go to the ocean.
According to the progress of ordinary online games, he has completed a copy and obtained the first purple equipment. It is now the time to decide to kill everyone.
Do I really deserve to come up to the hell of ice and snow and suffer?
But then I thought about it, I have come so far on this ocean voyage, maybe I can find the ancient city recorded in my account if I persist.
Give up, but feel unwilling to do so.
After everyone woke up, they quickly patted their bodies to warm themselves up. The sled dogs regained their strength after a night of adequate rest and food, and the group set off again, running forward following the roar of the living sacrifices.
This run lasted another 8 hours.
Eight hours later, there was still ice as far as the eye could see. The enthusiasm of Loki and everyone around him fell to the bottom. They discovered that the howling sound of this living sacrifice actually came from under their feet!
After bringing the torch close to the ice, Loki could vaguely see a vague figure frozen under the ice through the dim light of the torch. After the ship's doctor Nightingale released the Holy Light spell, he saw that the living sacrifice had been frozen under 5 meters of ice!
The dim light from the torch cannot penetrate the thick ice, but the Holy Light spell can. Lying on the ice, you can see that the cross of this living sacrifice was inserted into a snow-white iceberg.
Living sacrifices, crosses, and icebergs are already embedded in the ice. However, even in this environment, this "living sacrifice" can still vibrate his Adam's apple and howl!
Loki once had a rough understanding of the legends about the Mayan civilization. Their astronomical observations were unparalleled in the world, and they even invented the number "0". Their knowledge of basic mathematics and physics far exceeded all civilizations of the same era.
There are many records of ancient aircraft on the pyramid murals excavated by later generations. Some scientists made a 1:1 replica based on the proportions of the aircraft drawn on the mural. The strange-shaped aircraft actually conformed to aerodynamics.
The mysterious "living sacrifice" in this plane does have its own merits.
Apart from the living sacrifices under the ice, what made everyone even more pessimistic was that there were no other sounds coming from the front.
He urged the living sacrifice next to him to shout. Except for the shout from the one under the ice, there was dead silence in front of him, and there was no sound. On the dark, empty frozen sea there is only the biting cold wind blowing from time to time.
Other than that, it is a deserted land without any life.
"Boss, do you want me to dig out that old guy under the ice with a hammer?"
Among the five people, Emma and Mr. Gore still maintained the enthusiasm they had when they just set out. Loki waved his hand and leaned close to the ice to think.
According to the arrangement of the previous "living sacrifices", when Xiao Lu's fleet first entered this sea area, it should still be a flowing ocean.
Perhaps ten years have passed and the drop in temperature has caused this sea to be frozen?
There seems to be a saying that the permanently frozen ice caps in the Arctic Circle are responsible for regulating the global climate. When the climate is too hot, the ice layer melts, and when the climate is cold, the ice layer re-condensates.
If this is combined with the sound of shouting that there are no more living sacrifices ahead,
Their fleet is most likely just ahead.
