Chapter 248 Underground Mist
Crack, crack, crack——
Under the ground, two pickaxes, one white and one red, were working alternately.
Lindsay and Hong were digging a tunnel. While repeating the work, Hong did not forget to complain about the current situation:
"Lindsay, I thought we could have a better way to deal with this problem!"
Lindsay replied bluntly:
"Unless we can fly over from the sky!"
"Otherwise, except for walking underground, we can only swim across the river."
"..."
There is no reason to jump into an obvious trap.
However, Hong still raised another question:
"What if we are digging and the water leaks above our heads?"
Lindsay replied decisively:
"Then I will turn around and run, hoping that you can run out before I block the tunnel."
"Hey, can't you wait for me at that time!" Because of something that didn't happen, Hong wanted to kick Lindsay. But at this moment, she felt the touch under her feet was a little soft.
"Wait! Lindsay, the soil here is a little wet."
"Back off, I'll plug it up!" Lindsay pulled Hong back a few meters, and at the same time, a few pieces of soil were pasted in front of him, completely blocking the place where water might leak, and then continued to point downwards, "The depth here is still not enough, let's dig deeper!"
In the dark and cold underground, Lindsay and Hong continued to dig down.
Solve the problem.
Sometimes this simple and troublesome method is needed.
The snow water melted from the glacier converges into a wide river. There is no doubt that it is a method created by the dragon beast. They must avoid contact with these water bodies!
...
Under the riverbed, a tunnel extends forward silently.
The two powerful awakeners work tirelessly, and the progress of this task is also good.
After half a day, the two have come to the other end of the river.
Lindsay also opens the map from time to time to confirm the distance between them and the water above their heads, and beware of possible troubles at any time.
Between repeated labors
Hong also began to think about other things, and then raised a question:
"Lindsay, do you think the river above is the only way for the dragon beast to stop us?"
After thinking seriously, Lindsay replied:
"I think there is such a possibility."
Hong raised his eyes, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his surprised tone:
"You said it really accepted its fate? It doesn't even want to stop me from passing?"
Lindsay shook his head and denied:
"It's not giving up, I'm more inclined to think that the dragon beast has spent its energy on other aspects."
"We have been away from Qianshan Stone Ridge for a long time."
"With its ability, it can definitely create some more difficult obstacles. But now there is no movement, which means it must have other plans."
At this point, Lindsay pointed at the girl in front of him:
"Like how to devour you, or solve the dark abyss that is calculating it."
Hong was not scared at all, but rolled his eyes unhappily:
"Okay, it's going to start scheming with invisible things again, right?"
Kacha——
Suddenly, a different sound came from the front of the swinging pickaxe.
Lindsay and Hong stopped almost at the same time, and two heads followed a torch and moved forward.
A crystal cold plane appeared in front of them.
The chill emanating from it immediately lowered the temperature around them.
"It's ice!"
"Have we dug under the glacier?"
Lindsay immediately opened the map to check.
Above the surface, there is actually still some distance from the glacier.
But the glacier near the Black Mountain has a larger volume under the ground. He and Hong dug too deep, so they hit the underground part of the glacier in advance.
Next to Lindsay, Hong has already begun to analyze the next action:
"Lindsay, let's dig all the way over?"
"Didn't those resurrectors say that there are some means hidden under the Black Mountain? We can just sneak in without anyone noticing!"
Lindsay nodded in agreement:
"Okay, let's continue."
It is indeed not a good idea to return to the surface now.
This place is too close to the Black Mountain. When it appears on the ground, there is a risk of being discovered by the dragon beast immediately.
And from the analysis that the Dark Abyss has set up some means underground, the dragon beast's surveillance here should be greatly reduced.
Digging a tunnel is definitely the best choice at the moment!
The two pickaxes continued to swing, and the digging in the soil turned into advancing in the glacier.
This is a completely different experience from digging a tunnel.
Not only did the surrounding environment become freezing cold.
While digging, they would inexplicably dig through some cracks in the glacier, and sometimes they could see frozen bodies in the ice.
When they advanced about 500 meters.
Something unlucky happened.
Lindsay dug into the ice wall in front with a pickaxe, and the corresponding ice block naturally fell down.
Bang——! ! !
In an instant, a violent stream of water gushed out.
What appeared behind the ice wall was not the main body of the glacier, but a stream of cold water!
Hong subconsciously rushed up, trying to block it with her body:
"Ah? Lindsay, did we dig in the wrong place?"
"Gudong——hiccup!"
The girl accidentally drank a mouthful of ice water and couldn't help burping.
"Get out of my way!"
Lindsay pulled Hong away, and the resourced ice block pushed up to the gap.
Sizzle, sizzle—
Some subtle sounds were heard on the glacier, but the water flow was finally blocked.
At this time, Lindsay and Hong looked at each other, and both of them became wet, as if they had just taken a bath in their clothes.
"Huh——"
"Hehe..."
Under each other's gaze, Lindsay and Hong breathed a sigh of relief very tacitly, and each leaned on the glacier beside them.
Because the worst situation did not happen.
This water flow is different from the surging river on the surface.
It is meltwater in a real glacier environment, and is not affected by any dragon beast skills.
The moment the water flow came out just now, the two people's hearts really came to their throats.
Once these water flows are related to dragon beasts.
Their previous concealment will be in vain, and they will even face a huge threat from above in the next second!
The two of them paused for a few seconds, and Lindsay also analyzed the current situation:
"This is probably the meltwater flow system inside the glacier, Hong, let's dig up."
As soon as the voice fell, Lindsay waved the meteorite pickaxe again and began to dig upwards.
Hong also helped, and asked tentatively:
"You seem to have another idea?"
Linsey nodded and replied:
"There is indeed such a water system inside the glacier, and their existence often means relatively large ice caves and tunnels."
Hong immediately understood Linsey's idea:
"So if we find such a place, we can follow the tunnel instead of continuing to dig holes here!"
Linsey did not comment on this:
"If we can save a little effort, we will save a little effort."
A few minutes later.
Linsey and Hong were forced to take a few more baths in their clothes.
But they also successfully found a tunnel in the ice with meltwater flowing, and found a place to stay inside.
The two of them groped forward on the ice mixed with meltwater.
Arriving at a new place, Linsey naturally had to open the map to scout the environment.
"Huh?"
As soon as the skill panel was opened.
Linsey's face darkened.
The map that had always been very useful became blurry in front, as if it was covered with a layer of fog!
Something was preventing the map from being detected!
