Chapter 131 A Blessing in Disguise
The huge black shadow was rushing toward me at high speed under the ice, but I didn't know what to do. Although with my speed it would be easy to dodge such an attack, the problem is that my whereabouts are exposed. Since the monster under the ice lives in this lake, it is impossible for the people in the Snow Demon Castle who are its neighbors not to know about the existence of this creature, and this kind of creature will definitely not get along with the ice. Yes, then once it attacks, I will definitely be discovered.
At the moment when the monster rushed towards me, countless plans flashed through my head, but none of them could prevent me from being discovered. In the end, I found that it was too late, so I had to dodge first and then talk. Now I don’t have to worry about whether it is exposed or not. As soon as I thought about it, a dozen sharp steel nails popped out from under my boots. They grabbed the ice in an instant and kicked the ground with me. The whole person jumped out in an instant, and just a few tenths of a second after I left the place where I was standing, I heard a loud bang. The place where I was standing before and the ice surface within ten meters around it all turned upward, huge. The ice cubes flew up into the air along with a large amount of lake water, and it felt as if a bombshell had been hit on the ice.
Although he successfully dodged the monster's attack, there was no hope of concealing his whereabouts now. Such a big movement would definitely be noticed even in the deep mountains, let alone on the unobstructed ice. Sure enough, after the monster blew away the ice, I noticed a white flash appeared on the Snow Demon Castle in the distance. Without even thinking about it, I knew that it was the reflection caused by the telescope lens. The other party must be observing here. What happened.
Since concealment was no longer possible, I no longer carefully concealed my whereabouts. Although I did not remove the illusion, I completely let go of my movements. The monster missed a hit and immediately turned around and rushed towards me. The dodge just now had obviously been discovered, but in the end, the monster was too fast and had no time to change direction with my movement, so it deflected. . But now after the kinetic energy was released, the monster immediately rushed towards me again. However, I did not dodge again, but rushed towards the monster fiercely.
The monster was always paying attention to my steps while it was rushing towards me under the ice. Now it feels strange to hear my footsteps approaching him quickly, but this thing itself is not very intelligent, so it is strange. Gui was surprised, but there was no pause, but he continued to charge forward. Just when our positions were about to overlap, the monster calculated the advance and suddenly slammed upward through the ice, sticking a huge head out of the ice. If I didn't make any reaction, at the current speed, it would be absolutely impossible. It will rush into its mouth. Of course, I didn't rush over to feed it, and of course I wouldn't be unresponsive. But I didn't dodge, but threw Eternity violently.
The eternity I threw out immediately transformed into a huge drill in the air, then rotated at high speed and crashed into the monster's mouth. I don’t know if there was something wrong with the monster’s eyesight. When Eternity flew into the monster’s mouth, it actually thought Eternity was me and bit it down. Naturally, there was a crunching sound and several of the monster’s teeth were broken. , However, Eternity did not slow down, and still moved forward, directly hitting the monster's throat, crushing the muscle tissue there, and going all the way in. Finally, it emerged from the back of the monster's head through a hole. As for me, Immediately following Eternity, I passed through the hole, and the bright red blood almost poured all over me. Fortunately, the illusion of Amynis will not be invalidated just because it is stained with blood on me, so It won't be discovered yet. Of course, when people from the Snow Demon Castle come to check later, they will definitely find that someone is trying to get close to the castle, but at least they will not directly discover my presence.
After passing through the monster's body, I didn't stop much. Instead, I slid all the way down the monster's body, jumped directly into the big hole opened by the monster, and entered the lake under the ice. Although the temperature of the lake water here is horribly cold, my Shenlong suit is thermostatic, so getting into the water is not a big problem for me. In fact, if you use a thermometer to measure it, you will find that the water under the ice is often much higher than the temperature in the air above the ice. The reason why people freeze to death when they fall into ice water is mainly because of the water in their clothes. It will lose its ability to keep warm. This is the main reason why people will freeze to death if they fall into ice water. It does not mean that water is really colder than air. After all, water freezes when it reaches zero degrees. No matter how cold it is, it is nothing more than that. Air can keep cooling. to sub-zero temperatures.
Since the Shenlong suit does not enter water, it is obviously much warmer under the water than above. Now that I'm in the water, I start to regret it. Why didn't I think of diving under the ice? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to crawl slowly on the ice, and it was covered by the ice. As long as I didn't break through the ice, I didn't have to worry about being discovered. It was much more comfortable on the ice. What? What should you do if you encounter a monster, you ask? At my current level, unless I run into a super boss, can ordinary things threaten me? You must know that the Snow Demon Castle is built on the lake. If there is an OSS in the lake, is it possible for players to build a castle on the lake?
"Little Dragon Girl. Come out and take me." Originally, I wanted to summon Auntina, but considering that the temperature here is too low, and mermaids are tropical creatures, I can only let Little Dragon Girl work harder.
In fact, in terms of underwater speed, Xiao Longnu is much faster than A Di Na, but compared to the huge size of Xiao Long Nu's body, A Di Na's target is obviously much smaller, and her echolocation ability is also very useful. Although Shenlong is also a semi-aquatic creature, it does not have a sonar system, so its pathfinding ability is not as good as A Dianna's.
As soon as the little dragon girl appeared in the water, she immediately swam under me. I instantly grabbed one of her horns and stood on her head, and then the little dragon girl accelerated and swam towards the center of the lake. Although the little dragon girl is not as good as Ah Di Na in terms of pathfinding ability and concealment, Shenlong also has the benefits of Shenlong, at least it saves me a lot of trouble. We encountered several waves of monsters underwater along the way, but those things were all gone in a circle from a distance. The breath of the dragon was too scary for these low-level creatures, and they didn't even have the courage to get close. He ran away directly.
Although my whereabouts were exposed on the ice before, I quickly arrived near the Snow Demon Castle after diving underwater. At first, when I was far away, I thought the castle was built on the ice, but when I got closer, I realized that it was not like that. There is a protruding part in the center of the lake, but this part does not extend above the water, so it cannot be regarded as an island. However, its top is only three or four meters deep from the water, which is enough to serve as the foundation of the castle.
It was very smooth to get close before, but after arriving near the island, I started to worry. How can I sneak in without anyone noticing? If I want to go up to the ice to find an entrance, firstly, there must be more defense there than below. Secondly, once I get out of the water, I will definitely have to make a hole in the ice. I can hide the hole, but I can't. It will be easy to be exposed. 'of. But digging a hole under the ice won't work. This is underwater. If I dig a hole in, the castle will be flooded, which will expose it faster than going in from above the ice.
After much thought, I finally came up with a solution. It is still possible to drill a hole under the water, but instead of drilling a hole through the wall of the castle, it will drill a hole on the same foundation as the island below. First dig a horizontal hole, then dig a small section upward, and then summon Shuangxue to let her freeze all the water in the hole into ice, so that the entrance of the hole is sealed. After completing this small project, I started digging holes upwards and soon reached the foundation of the castle. After digging through several layers of rock shells, I actually found ice cubes inside, and they were still big lumps of ice that were frozen into one piece. As a result, I had to take back the other magic pets and call Xiaofeng out. It is not possible to dig a hole in the ice by brute force. Melting a hole with high temperature is the best solution.
After burning through the three-meter-thick ice layer in one breath, only a thin layer of ice was left on it. For safety, I used Eternity as a heat transfer tool and asked Xiaofeng to open a slightly larger hole in the ice layer. , and then released a ghost insect. Through the eyes of the ghost bug, you can see that this is an empty area. The entire ice surface is a huge utility room. In addition to the surrounding walls and hundreds of support columns, the room is also filled with various supplies. It looks like it should be a warehouse.
After making sure there was no one up there, I enlarged the hole and drilled out, then took back Xiaofeng and summoned the darts. Xiaofeng is too conspicuous in this place, and a small magic pet like Dart is suitable for use at this time.
You can see much more clearly with your own eyes than the ghost bug. There is indeed a large amount of supplies piled up in the room, and the surrounding pillars and walls are covered with ice formations. The temperature in the warehouse can be about minus 100 degrees, which is slightly warmer than outside, but it is still absolutely cold.
After walking around in the warehouse, I quickly found the passage leading to the upper floor, but I was depressed when I saw this passage. The construction of this Snow Demon Castle is really unique. The connecting passage between the upper and lower floors is not connected by stairs, but a spiral staircase-like passage. Not only does it have no steps, but it is covered with a The layer is so bright that it can illuminate the ice shell of a person. With the smoothness of this spiral staircase and the inclination angle, I guess no creature walking on feet can hope to climb it, but it would be good if it could be used as a slide.
I looked helplessly at the spiral staircase and considered it for a long time. Finally, I had no choice but to take the risk. The spiral staircase is small and I can’t open my wings, so I can’t fly up it, but there are a lot of gadgets on my dragon suit. With a move of his wrist, the dragon's sinew rope immediately flew out and nailed into the cracks of the bricks on the roof of the building above with a bang. If you 'shoot' the bricks directly, someone might notice the marks on the bricks, so I focused on the cracks in the bricks. Of course, this is just me. Even if the average person has that kind of accuracy, they can't find a weapon that can 'shoot' those ice bricks.
He carefully hoisted himself up to the upper level with the help of dragon tendons, but an accident happened suddenly.
