Starting From Zero

Chapter 93 The Lake of Terror

"Are you sure you can imitate it?" After thinking for a long time, Nobunaga suddenly said this. The result was that Matsumasa didn't know how to answer.

"Why are you so obsessed with this?"

"It's not that I'm obsessed with this, but this point is very important." Ghost Hand Nobunaga suddenly said: "If you can imitate the Frost Rose Alliance's liquefied magic crystal steam missile, it means that we may be able to use this to do something. "

"Take advantage of this?" Matsumasa looked at Nobunaga's ghost hand in surprise. He just explained to Nobunaga Nobunaga that it was not unbelievable that the group of people on the opposite side had liquefied magic crystal steam missiles, but what he didn't expect was that Nobunaga's mind jumped to the liquefied magic crystal for some reason. The steam missile went up, and this guy actually planned to use this thing to plot against us.

"To be honest, I really doubt your proposal, but as long as it can cause trouble for the Frost Rose Alliance, I am willing to do it." Song Zhenghe said in a deliberately generous manner: "So about this That's it. Now let's see how long the gunman can last there."

The Gunslinger's combat effectiveness is indeed pretty good, but unfortunately, facing an entire well-trained special combat team at the same time is obviously beyond his ability, especially since the weapons of both sides do not actually reflect that ability. The difference in reversing the tide of battle.

The Gun God's gun is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it can only kill with one shot, and the weapons used by this combat team can actually have a similar effect on the Gun God. Although the weapons used by these people cannot directly kill the gun god with one shot. However, the power of these weapons is enough to cause the Gunslinger to lose combat effectiveness after being shot. Losing combat effectiveness without support is very bad for a profession like the Gunslinger. Fortunately, he was the president of a guild, so he had a lot of medicines and other supplies, otherwise he would never have been able to survive for a minute under the crossfire of these people. However, this situation obviously will not last long, because the medicine carried by the gun god is always limited, and it is impossible for him to use it without restriction.

Just when the Gunslinger was in danger, during the mission, we finally succeeded in digging a tunnel and getting into the inside of the storm circle. fine. This thing is like a wall. The high-speed rotating airflow and the broken ice only formed a ring-shaped belt with a thickness of less than five meters, but the inside was completely calm, without any strong wind, and it could even be said to be sunny and windy. It even felt like the temperature had climbed back above freezing.

"What's going on in this place? Is it a paradise?" Jin Coin asked in surprise after entering the storm circle.

"This is not a paradise. It's someone's garden." Christina said while looking somewhere ahead. And our eyes quickly focused on it.

The inner edge of the storm circle was still relatively warm, but further inside there were huge lakes. The water in this lake is obviously hot because it is emitting warm water vapor. But what we are focusing on is not this lake, but an island in the middle of the lake.

To be honest, these things seem a bit abnormal, even irrational. The Ice Continent itself is a continent composed of floating ice. It is not even a continent in the true sense. It is just like the Arctic Ocean in reality. The so-called continent is just a huge floating ice.

On such a continent, things like lakes should not exist at all, because it is not a real land, and the temperature here absolutely does not allow the existence of lakes. Besides, even if there is a lake here, it shouldn't be a warm water lake. You must know that hot springs are caused by geothermal heat, but where can you find geothermal heat in a place like this? There is just ice below. Even if you break through the ice, you will hit the sea water first, and then go down very, very deep before you hit the sea bed. Even if there is a volcano crater under the sea bed, how can this temperature be separated by the sea water? What about the ones passed up by the ice layer?

Even if we don't consider the above, we still have a very real problem that needs to be considered, and that is...where is his grandfather's family? Didn’t we follow the mission to find the high-energy crystal mining area? What could come in here? This thing shouldn't appear at all, okay?

"What should we do now?" Zhenhong asked.

Rose walked forward and said, "What else can we do besides going up and taking a look? We can't go back in, right?"

"It seems like this is the only way." Christina nodded and followed, and Gold Coin and True Red had no choice but to follow. As for me, of course, I followed Rose when she started walking forward.

The lake ahead looked not too far away from us, and it was quite strenuous to walk. After finally reaching the shore, we were finally able to confirm that this was indeed a hot spring lake.

"It looks pretty good." Zhenhong said and wanted to squat down to test the water temperature, but I grabbed her just as she squatted down. Zhenhong looked back at me in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Don't touch that water."

"What?" Zhenhong asked and stood up. She just wanted to know the reason, not doubting my judgment.

I looked left and right very seriously, and then said: "The breath of the undead. I felt a lot of the breath of the undead. There are all undead under the water."

"Undead? Is this a hot spring for the dead?" Zhenhong asked in surprise.

The so-called hot spring of the dead is not a special setting, but a legend on this frozen continent in this mission space. We heard such a legend by the way when we were inquiring about the mission at the port, but we didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, the game "Zero" is too realistic, so there will be a lot of background information. The purpose of these things is to make the game closer to reality, but they actually have no practical significance for the player's mission itself.

However, apparently we got the positioning of that message wrong. That is not background information, but mission instructions.

"It looks like we need to handle this thing with caution." Rose said as she picked up her staff, and Christina and the others also started to be on guard.

The reason why we are so careful is not because we are timid, but because this hot spring of the dead is not a good place. According to the legend here, the hot spring of the dead was actually a mysterious movable living hot spring, and this hot spring had been moving randomly on this continent before. However, the original hot spring of the dead was not an evil place. On the contrary, this place was a place similar to a desert oasis. In this cold place, adventurers often get lost, and being lost on this continent is almost like death. In this case, some lucky people will find this hot spring, and then they will replenish and rest here for a while. After a while, you can leave here safely. Moreover, no matter where you enter this hot spring, you will definitely be in a place not far from the city when you come out, which means that you are basically saved after you come out.

Such a hot spring for the dead has always been regarded as a paradise-like place and was longed for by people. However, a very strange thing happened after that. It is said that a pure girl was brutally murdered by people from the area in this hot spring of the dead. Of course, like most stories, the bad guys always did something to the girl before the killing, and in the process, The girl began to resent and curse those who had hurt her. Later, when the girl died, these people found that they could never get out again, and eventually they all died here.

After that, the paradise in the original ice field completely turned into a man-eating ghost. No one who entered it could leave alive. This place gradually changed from a desirable place to a feared place.

Because we heard such information, we at least know that this place is not safe, otherwise those people would not be able to leave. At least I think it's very simple to get out of this place. After all, although it is difficult to open a hole in the ice, it is not impossible.

"If we can't touch the water here, how can we get to the island in the middle?" Jin Coin suddenly asked.

Christina looked directly at me and asked: "Boss, have you brought your bribery supplies?"

Jin Coin looked at me doubtfully and asked: "Bribery? Who are you trying to bribe? The system?"

"Of course not." As I said this, I took out a small bag from my body, then took out a handful of black sand and threw it towards the lake in front of me.

The black sand disappeared into the lake as soon as it touched the lake surface. I didn't even see them sinking. It felt like the lake surface was like a portal. The sand was just transported to other places through the lake surface instead of sinking to the bottom of the lake. .

Although the black sand disappeared after entering the lake, their effect was revealed after waiting for a few seconds. The originally calm lake surface suddenly began to ripple, and then the waves became bigger and bigger, and finally even washed up on the shore. However, the "water" automatically disappeared into the air after flying out, and did not splash on us. When they looked at the beautiful and dreamy lake again, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps, because the hot spring of the dead had turned into a huge mass grave. There is not a drop of water in the huge lake, and all that can be seen are bones and corpses that are not rotten. This is not a lake but a mass grave, a super mass grave. (To be continued...)
