Chapter 240 Exploring the Ten Thousand Years Glacier 10
Chapter 240 Exploring the Ten Thousand Years Glacier 10
As they gradually penetrated into the bottom of the glacier, the scene in front of Wu Xiajiu, Fang Zi and others changed again.
The faint blue light deepened, refracting waves of light.
And the ice walls around them began to decrease, and the field of vision gradually became empty.
Until, Wu Xiajiu's eyes couldn't help changing, his footsteps stopped in place, he looked forward, and said in a low voice: "Your people..."
To be precise, it is the members of your clan who have been frozen.
I saw countless ice sculptures of different shapes erected in front of them, and these ice sculptures were all members of your tribe, without exception.
And looking at the movements of the people of your clan, they all face outward, their expressions vividly staying at the moment before being frozen, panic, despair, panic...
It seems that he is running for his life.
But they did not escape from the glacier in the end, but were instantly frozen in place.
The skin color of these You people can be seen to be normal skin color, just like the You people who were just salvaged on the polar Iceland where the research station is located.
But they are all sealed in the ice layer. If they thaw out, I am afraid that these You people will become ice sculptures.
Therefore, Wu Xiajiu, Fang Zi and others did not approach for the time being.
After looking at it twice, Zhong Nan couldn't help saying: "The ice sculptures here seem to be different from the ice sculptures salvaged from the research station."
"The postures of those ice sculptures are very peaceful? In short, with their eyes closed, they seem to be in deep sleep."
Unlike the ice sculptures they see here, they have different expressions and postures.
Tang Yunsi nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Indeed, and I don't know how the ice sculptures salvaged from the research station drifted past the glacier."
"This place is at the bottom of the glacier. Since the ice sculptures of your people are all underground, it is impossible to float away from the glacier."
"But it's even more impossible if there are loopholes in the bottom of the glacier."
If there is a loophole, it means that the seawater is pouring back, and eventually the ice layer at the bottom of the glacier will gradually shatter and melt in the seawater.
How the ice sculpture man salvaged from the research station drifted over is temporarily unclear.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but raised his head and looked up. As they got deeper and deeper into the glacier, the height from the top to the bottom of the glacier became deeper and deeper.
At this moment, Wu Xiajiu looked at the space above where the ice sculptors of the Ni clan were located. He couldn't see the end at a glance, and couldn't see the top, as if he reached the upper layer of the glacier.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning, and then looked down at the ground around those ice sculptures of your tribe, covered with snow particles, not completely ice.
Seeing Wu Xiajiu standing where he was, looking thoughtful, Fang Zi couldn't help asking, "Brother Jiu, what are you thinking about?"
Wu Xia came back to his senses for a long time: "I was thinking that the people of your tribe should have lived on top of the glacier, that is, in the ice cave we first walked in."
"Or, even if it's not on the glacier, it shouldn't be possible to live in such a deep place as the glacier."
Otherwise, the cold will be irresistible in the first place.
"Unless, after these people of your clan suffered the catastrophe of genocide, the place where they lived also began to sink gradually, until it sank here from above."
"And those members of your tribe who were salvaged in the research station did not sink with them."
After all, it is impossible for the entire area where the people of the You people once lived to sink, and there will always be some caught fish.
It is also possible that when these You people were instantly frozen, another part of You people escaped.
But not long after, the escaped members of the You tribe also suffered some accidents or disasters, and were frozen and died in their sleep...
It's been a long time, and no one can guess exactly how your people perished at that time.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiajiu couldn't help squinting his eyes. If these Ni people were not frozen at the same time and someone escaped...
So, in this world under the car, will there be descendants of your people?
Wu Xiajiu expressed his doubts.
Tang Yunsi, Lu Nan and the others couldn't help thinking for a while.
Lu Nandao: "If there are really descendants of your clan, it is easy to see from the height that the person who is suspicious is most likely...Wei Guan."
Xie Pang and the others agreed with Lu Nan's words.
Wei Guan's height is indeed more obvious.
After observing for a while, no abnormality was found.
Wu Xiajiu, Fang Zi and the others decided to pass through the ice sculptures of the Ni people and continue walking inside.
I didn't meet any other passengers when I walked here. Wu Xiajiu estimated that they were all divided by the ice road and went to different places.
During this period, there are likely to be other unexpected situations, so the distance between them is getting farther and farther.
And if they can't meet other passengers, it doesn't mean others can't meet them.
Wu Xiajiu walks ahead, be careful not to bump into the surrounding You people. Your people are much taller than them, and walking among them will easily block your sight.
But fortunately, the Ni people are tall and strong, and the gap left between them is enough for Wu Xiajiu, Fang Zi and others to walk through.
The further you go, the fewer ice sculptures of your people, but then there are more black scale fish.
They disagreed with the black scale fish that was frozen in the ice layer. The black scale fish they saw this time were all on the ground, and the surface was not covered with any ice.
It is to the extent that you can touch the body of the fish with your hand.
And these black scale fish are all small in size.
Up to now, the longest black scale fish that Wu Xiajiu has seen is only one leg long.
When we got here, the ice sculptures of the You people had disappeared, and all the ground around them were the corpses of black scale fish. You can almost meet one every step you take.
Stopping in front of the corpse of a black scale fish, Wu Xiajiu said, "Do you want to dissect it?"
There is nothing wrong with the black scale fish from the outside, but maybe there is something or clues inside?
Wu Xiajiu squatted down to touch the black scale fish. Suddenly, the bracelet became hot and the panel popped up. He raised his eyebrows and raised his head to signal Fang Zi, Lu Nan and others.
There is a situation, there is information.
Lu Nan immediately reacted, took out the prop "Dragon Scale Dagger", cut open the abdomen of a black scale fish, and began to dissect it.
After a while, Lu Nan snorted, pointed at something and said, "You look at this, does it look familiar?"
Yellowish and reddish, irregular in shape, the size of a palm.
Wu Xiajiu said: "It's very similar to what He Peng ate in the surveillance video."
Although the size is different, it feels right to them.
Fang Zi said: "So, what He Peng ate was from the black scale fish?"
"You people wear this thing as an ornament. He Peng thought it was a life-saving thing, and he ate it in his mouth in that situation..."
However, He Peng turned into a strange black shadow because of this.
"Tsk, this is not a good thing." Fang Zi smacked his lips.
Xie Pang asked Lu Nan: "Aside from this, is there anything else in this black scale fish?"
Lu Nan shook his head and said: "Not anymore, but only dissecting one black scale fish can't find anything, and there is no way to compare it. I will continue to dissect a few more."
Next is the second and third.
When it came to the third black scale fish, Lu Nan actually found another familiar object in it—the black stone-like object that Xiao Xiao and Zigua once got, with black lines on it.
This thing can slow down the speed of turning into an ice sculpture man.
It is actually in the body of the black scale fish, but some black scale fish have it in the body, and some do not.
In order to verify this, Lu Nan dissected five more black scale fish, as expected, three did not, and only two black scale fish found this stone-like thing in their stomachs.
Wu Xiajiu said: "Be prepared and find more."
Xie Pang: "That's right, so even if we are accidentally touched by the ice sculpture man, we won't be afraid."
After almost gutting all the black scale fish in the vicinity, Wu Xiajiu, Fang Zi and others harvested a total of twelve black scale stones.
That is, the stone in the body of the black scale fish.
And there are still these yellow and red things in the belly of every black scale fish. Wu Xiajiu raised his eyebrows after collecting the black scale stones, and then gathered the dissected fish carcasses and scattered yellow and red things in the Together, use props to put the fire out.
After the fire is extinguished, and then covered with snow particles, there will be no traces at all.
Wu Xiajiu stomped on it with his foot, and just about to say that it was done, he suddenly heard a terrified cry from ahead.
someone.
There was no time to say anything more, and the few of them ran forward with a tacit understanding.
Not long after, Wu Xiajiu saw the situation ahead.
He couldn't help opening his eyes—a small lake unexpectedly appeared in front of him. The surface of this lake was not frozen, but smoke was slowly rising upwards.
This is not what surprised Wu Xiajiu the most.
Surrounding the lake are many tall skeletons of the Ni people, and skins are hanging on the skeletons.
Now, some skin bags floated up, attacking the passengers inside.
Wu Xiajiu didn't know who was inside the skin, but Nie Su, Ai Wei and others were all there.
And the people inside the skin were all wrapped up, and the next moment, the skin twisted like a twist, and the people inside naturally twisted their bodies along with it.
Wu Xiajiu heard a wailing scream, and immediately, there was no more movement inside.
Then the skin was pulled away from the top, revealing the face of the person inside, the purple melon in Ivy's team.
Ai Wei and Kuka were busy dealing with other skins, distracted to see the tragic death of Zigua, and couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation.
But they have no way to withdraw, because they are also very dangerous at the moment.
And A Miao was about to be wrapped in a skin bag.
The skin bag was very close at hand, one of A Miao's arms was pulled in by the skin bag before and twisted off, now he could only slam on the side of his body, and the prop in the other hand was seriously damaged, and it was about to be pulled in by the skin bag.
She was already desperate.
But at this moment, a flash of fire appeared, and the leather bag struggled and twisted in an instant, rolling back and forth on the ice, trying to extinguish the flame above.
But the fire didn't show any signs of weakening. Instead, the scorched marks became more and more obvious, and even began to tear the entire skin.
In the end, the skin smelt of burnt stench and turned into ashes.
A Miao was still in shock, she raised her head and saw that it was the temple master who saved her.
"Are you okay?" Wu Xiajiu said.
A Miao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "No, nothing, thank you, Guanzhu."
Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi and others used props to deal with the engulfing skins. With the addition of new passengers, the pressure on Ivy, Nie Su and others was greatly relieved.
Wu Xiajiu also went to help.
It didn't take long for the surrounding skins to be removed, and they were finally able to breathe for a while.
Wu Xia took a long look at performer No. [-], that is, Mi Zheng, and he showed his true face again, which meant that the "painted leather mask" had failed.
And Mi Zheng must have "died" once before, so he peeled off his real face.
Mi Zheng stayed by the scientist Nie Su's side, but Wu Xiajiu didn't see Lao Xiao, so he couldn't help asking.
Mi Zheng lowered his head and wiped his face.
Nie Su pointed to a direction not far away, and said, "Old Xiao, over there..."
Wu Xiajiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the scientist's finger. There was a torn and broken skin lying on the ground, which was bulging, revealing a human figure.
Nie Su said: "Old Xiao was wrapped in a skin bag, and he didn't have time to save him..."
Only a little bit, Lao Xiao was able to get out of trouble by himself, but wrapped in a skin, another skin came.
What Wu Xiajiu saw now was the second layer of skin on the outside, and inside, there was a torn skin.
If it wasn't for the two together, the old xiao would have survived.
pity……
Zhong Nan sighed and turned to look at Ivy and the others.
Before the separation, there were Xiao Xiao, Man Wen and others in Ivy's team, but now, besides Ivy and Kuka, there is only A Miao.
What about the rest?
Could it be that he died like Lao Xiao and Zigua?
Wu Xia looked at A Miao for a long time and asked, "What did you meet on the road?"
Hearing this, Ah Miao burst into tears again, thinking of Xiao Xiao's death, she couldn't stop it.
She whispered about the situation she encountered after sliding down the ice track.
Xie Pang gritted his teeth after listening to it. Compared with them, Ivy's team must be a bit unlucky.
They walked all the way, except for the corpse of a survey station personnel, the rest encountered nothing.
And there are other harvests, black scale stone.
Xie Pang couldn't help but held his chin and thought, yes, Brother Jiu seemed to have said jokingly before that with Zhong Nan around, they would be a little lucky.
I haven't encountered anything along the way, isn't it just luck.
Thinking of this, Xie Pang couldn't help but look at Zhong Nan, and rubbed his hands at the panda brooch on his chest.
Zhong Nan couldn't help but be bewildered by Xie Pang.
Wu Xiajiu said: "So, you suspect that something wrong with the Manchu script was taken over by ghost He Peng?"
That is to say, He Peng had long been attached to Man Wen's body, and they left the research station together, boarded the glacier, and took the opportunity to kill Xiao Xiao.
Amy nodded.
Ivy's expression was gloomy at this time, and she had long since lost the calmness she had when she first came to this world under the car.
She said: "I don't know where Man Wen ran to. Not long after, we met scientists and the others, and then came all the way here..."
Immediately afterwards, Wu Xiajiu and others arrived.
Wu Xiajiu: "Which direction did you come from?"
The direction of the bottom of the glacier can be said to be in all directions.
Ivy pointed.
Wu Xiajiu turned his head to look, and it was a little to the left of the direction they came from.
He said: "Let's rest here for a while, this is not the end of our stay, we have to keep going."
Although the lake and the bones of the Ni people in the forest are somewhat strange, Wu Xiajiu did not find any clues about the personnel of the research station such as Professor Smith and Professor Zhang here.
He thought about it, and estimated that the traces of the two professors and the personnel of the research station were likely to be in the direction of the ice cave passage chosen by A Zuo and Professor Zheng Yu.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help blinking his eyes when he thought of this, but he didn't know which one met first, A Zuo or Wei Guan Qiuzhe.
A Zuo pretended to be an NPC and completed some information about the world under the car. There must be clues in his hands that they didn't know.
But Wei Guan is very likely to be a descendant of the Ni tribe, and Qiu Zhe, that is, Ji Siyi also pretended to be an NPC, maybe he also completed the information, and the one in his hand also has clues.
Wei Guan and Ji Siyi might be able to find Professor Smith, Professor Zhang and others earlier than they did.
However, so what if you find someone, you have to find a way to get out of this glacier world.
What's more...Wu Xiajiu couldn't help squinting his eyes. In the previous world under the car, Ah Zuo gave Yang Gonghe a "good thing".
Wu Xiajiu stood by the lake, with Xie Pang beside him. He was squatting on the shore and looking down into the depths of the lake. However, this lake is not clear and bright, but dark blue. have what.
Xie Pang couldn't help muttering, "How could there be such a small lake under the glacier?"
And it's still in the glacier, in the sea... This is too incredible.
After hearing this for a long time, Wu Xia couldn't help but look at the lake. He had heard that there might be ice-free lakes or hot water lakes in places with extremely low temperatures.
This is due to the higher temperature of the lake water.
For example, there are ice-free lakes in Antarctica.
However, such an unfrozen lake appearing under the glacier is a bit weird and weird.
Could it be, what's under the lake?
I don't know how deep this lake is, and it can't see the bottom at a glance, so it's best not to explore it lightly.
At this time, Wu Xiajiu caught a glimpse of A Miao's lonely figure, thought for a while, and walked away from the lake.
Since coming to this world under the car, even though he met A Miao again, he never had a chance to talk alone.
"A Miao."
Wu Xiajiu stood by A Miao's side, and after she raised her head, she asked what had happened since they parted at the first stop.
A Miao looked gloomy, and said: "I don't know how Mi Tai is, but Qianqian and I have been boarding the reincarnation train together."
"But on one of the reincarnation trains... Qianqian died."
Li Qianqian, Mi Tai, and A Miao are also new passengers who left the world under the car with Wu Xiajiu at the first stop.
A Miao looked at Wu Xiajiu, and smiled wryly: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful now."
But think about it, when they were all new passengers at the first stop, she, Li Qianqian, and Mi Tai were able to leave the world smoothly thanks to the Lord.
"You are now... which station of the reincarnation train is this?" A Miao couldn't help asking.
Wu Xiajiu told her.
A Miao couldn't help shaking, and then sighed: "Then you must have not rested in the real world for a long time, and you quickly entered the next reincarnation train without wasting your life time."
Unlike some people who stay in the real world until the end of their lives, they will enter the reincarnation train to fight and prolong their lives.
Although she didn't wait until her life was running out before coming in, she also escaped in the real world for a long time until Li Qianqian's death.
Sometimes death will make people decadent, and sometimes it will inspire people to be strong.
A Miao looked away, he was dead anyway, why not get on the reincarnation train and go through all the stations faster.
Wu Xiajiu was talking with A Miao.
Over there, Xie Pang stood up from the lake. He looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, so he planned to turn around and leave, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he found that there seemed to be fluctuations on the lake in the distance. In the past tense, it was peaceful again.
"Misunderstood?" Xie Pang muttered, then shook his head and walked towards Wu Xiajiu and others.
After staying for a while, it's time to leave.
