Chapter 615: Icelandic Horror (147)
Where did the phantom cat go? When did it come back? Why did it travel alone? Was it his brother or was it just related to his brother?
On the way to leave the ice crack and continue hiking on the glacier, Bingyi kept thinking about this question. The sleeping phantom cat did not respond at all. Bingyi put it on his shoulder and wrapped it around his neck. The little lizard in the lizard egg can communicate with people mentally and pull cat hair. He was worried about putting the phantom cat back.
"The road is too difficult to walk."
B1 sighed. Since the frost giant's head collapsed, they have been walking on the vast glacier for more than an hour. However, compared with the previous mostly smooth roads, the area they are walking in is full of ice grooves, ice cracks, ice leaks and snow nests. If you are not careful, you will fall to death if you step on empty air.
Even with the Fang Hunter and another experienced coach leading the way, the group did not advance much because they had to take detours frequently. Fortunately, after the frost giant's head cracked, the large group of snow zombies all scattered. If they chased after them, the team would have nowhere to escape.
"We can let her come down for a walk."
Bingyi smiled and looked at the deformed little girl sleeping on B1's shoulder: "Children like to play in the snow."
"No, this place is too weird."
B1 shook his head helplessly. Speaking of the crack filled with mist just now, even he was terrified. His body turned into a dead spirit out of control and was almost dragged into the crack. His mental illusion fluctuated violently, and he was extremely afraid of the ice crack, which affected him.
"I'm sorry, I really can't see what's wrong with it."
B1 apologized. He knew that Bingyi cared a lot about the phantom cat, and now it was sleeping and made Bingyi very anxious. B1 also had a phantom sister who was always sleeping, but his phantom was different from Bingyi's. He sensed it again and again, and felt that the cat was simply asleep, and nothing else could be sensed.
"Thank you for helping me, it's with me, I don't have any special sense, it's normal that you can't feel it."
Bingyi shook his head slightly, the phantom cat seemed to be sleeping non-stop as before, and he couldn't feel any other problems. Bingyi tried many methods but none of them worked. Before this, he had always walked with Wei Xun, but the phantom cat that had a special reaction to Wei Xun before still didn't move this time.
Coming to talk to B1 was the final helpless move. In fact, Bingyi knew in his heart that his illusion was different from B1's, and B1 couldn't see anything. He pondered in his heart, holding a handful of cat hair in his hand. This was left next to the thermos cup. When he picked it up, the dragon hunter's scales flashed a faint colorful light, indicating that it seemed to be related to the dream.
He had never seen his father in his dream... Was this the dream related to his father?
Bingyi wanted to see it, but he would not rush to explore it before dealing with the little red lizard, figuring out what the black liquid was, and reaching the next safe resting point.
"We have only walked for less than an hour since the start of the hike."
Feeling the low atmosphere on Bingyi's side, B1 changed the subject. He took out a stopwatch and looked at it, frowning: "At this speed, I'm afraid we will have to spend the night on the glacier tonight."
The team was slow, not only because of the rugged terrain, but also for another reason.
"The ice crack in front is a bit special."
Miao Fangfei supported her body with an ice pick, squinted her eyes and looked into the distance: "Black... looks like the ice and snow have melted."
"The temperature is so low, it's unusual to have melted ice and snow, there is a high probability that there is an underground heat source over there."
Miranda said in a deep voice: "Maybe it is - we have to go and take a look."
After a brief discussion, the two teams adjusted their direction of travel and walked towards the exposed black volcanic rock. Along the way, whenever there was rock land above the ice layer, the team would give priority to exploring. Walking on volcanic rocks is not considered glacier hiking. Time stagnation makes their overall hiking time slow.
The reason they did this was that after the frost head broke, all the people in their two brigades automatically received a team mission.
Unsolvable main mission!
[Prepare for Ragnarok]
The name of this mission gives people a sense of crisis.
[Main Mission: Prepare for Ragnarok]
[Mission Level: Unsolvable]
[Mission Description: Since ancient times, the most evil frost giants have been suppressed under the Vatnajökull glacier. They have been suppressed for countless years. But the eruption of the Snæfell volcano caused the most evil and dangerous corpses (Ymir's flesh) to fall into the nine worlds, leading to a series of strange events. The seal was broken, and the evil giants are about to revive]
[The gods are working hard to clear the corpses in other worlds, but the human world cannot be taken care of for the time being. Once the giants fully revive, Ragnarok will come early. Warriors, please deal with as many strange events as possible to delay the revival of the giants! 】
Normal travelers receive this kind of task prompt, but the tasks received by the ‘heroes’ who received the hero medal after the horse race last night are different. Two more tasks are added on top of the normal tasks -
[1. The body parts of the evil frost giant ancestor Ymir are scattered on the earth. Please collect as many body parts as possible and give them to the Thor believers]
[2. The outer gods are very deep and are ready to move. Perhaps they will cooperate with the evil giants. Once you find any clues, please give them to the Thor believers as soon as possible! ]
Both tasks come with extremely high rewards, even involving artifacts, becoming a god (title of the pantheon) and various divine objects! In addition, they will also be blessed by the gods after completing the tasks. The person with the highest degree of task completion will be sworn by the gods to protect him from falling in the Ragnarok and become a survivor after the Ragnarok.
Norse mythology is a very special mythology worldwide. Many myths only have creation, not destruction. Even if there is destruction, it is the destruction of human beings. God is eternal. But Norse mythology is different. It not only involves the birth of gods, but also the death of gods! This is a complete logic from life to death. Ragnarok, the fall of gods, if you can participate in it and survive, you will definitely get unimaginable benefits.
God's flesh, god's blood, artifacts, divine power, and even god's corpse, that is not only the burial place of gods, but also the most precious treasure, which gradually pushes the atmosphere to a climax!
The audiences running around in multiple live broadcast rooms know that not only in the Iceland live broadcast room, but also in the other four Nordic countries, the brigades have received similar team tasks, but with different focuses!
Some focus on preventing invasions from the outer gods, some focus on restarting the parliament to rekindle the divine fire, and some focus on finding lost miracles and artifacts in the past. Even if other teams did not encounter the old dream, the difficulty of this four-day journey was extremely terrifying, but at this time no one was willing to give up! Everyone knew that the current warm-up competition had entered a white-hot stage. The hotel threw away a lot of treasures and dangers like raising a Gu, just to raise a leader who could far surpass his peers and have amazing strength in the next ten years!
It is said that the year-end celebration at the end of the decade is the most exciting, but the real old-brand teams and tour guide alliances attach the most importance to the warm-up competition before the celebration. An Xuefeng, who returned from the past, completely rose to the top in the warm-up competition, swept the year-end celebration with an unmatched momentum, and ascended to the throne of the first person in the hotel in the next ten years!
Those who can be selected for the warm-up competition are the most promising tourists and tour guides in the hotel. Weak tourists are not weak, as long as they survive the competition, they will definitely rise straight up. As long as the strength is in place, the hotel will never be stingy with points. Before participating in the competition, they were just high-level passengers, but after the competition, they jumped to the top. This leap in strength and class can make everyone crazy.
Even if all the warm-up competitions in the past ten years are added together, the opportunities may not be as good as the competition in the last year! The two teams in Iceland are the most optimistic by everyone, but they are also most worried that they will be wiped out.
Compared with other countries, their mission is the most difficult, and it involves the final enemy, the Frost Giant. And on top of this, there is also the old dream, and the dangers encountered are doubled. The most important thing is that there is a Bingyi in their team.
Bingyi is Loki, who obtained Loki's flame and cultivated his children. Behind him are the peak snow zombies, and in his hands are the black liquid from the head of the Frost Giant. From the beginning of the competition, he led the team to achieve the highest daily task completion. He was far ahead of others, but after the brilliant and glorious peak, there was a cliff. In the old dream, he corresponds to two people. He is not on the side of the gods in Ragnarok, and the whole world is his enemy.
The most disturbing thing is that when the day of Ragnarok comes, all the top warriors will probably recover their memories. Will the werewolf Walker Heydrich and other Western District bosses in his team give him a fatal blow after remembering everything? At least Walker, who has an extremely bad temper, will definitely not look good when he remembers everything.
This makes countless viewers both excited and worried. Since the unsolvable main task was released, there have been endless discussions in the private chat groups of the hostel forums. Can Bingyi make it to the end? Can he survive to the end?
…
Bingyi walked slowly with B1 at the end of the team, watching Miao Fangfei and others carefully explore the black rock area. The one walking in front was Charlie, who had the second lowest presence in Miranda's team. He has the title of lizard man, and he is constantly spitting out letters and sniffing the air.
But he finally shook his head hesitantly. Although everyone still went to the volcanic rock to check, they no longer had much hope.
"It's too difficult to find the real cave of the volcanic lava lizards."
B1 sighed: "There are so many abandoned nests, they are just digging holes everywhere like Australian rabbits."
The prompts of the main quest say that the body parts of Ymir erupted from the volcano, carrying a strong smell of volcanic flames, which will attract volcanic lava lizards.
Once the lava lizard's nest is found, there is a high probability that the body parts will be found in the nest! The large-scale gathering of volcanic lava lizards will cause the glacier snow to melt, exposing the volcanic rock - this is not the volcanic rock under hundreds of meters of ice, but the pure black stone formed by the collision of the magma splashed out by Snaefell and the glacier. It is extremely polluting and very dangerous.
But the greater the danger, the more opportunities. Miao Fangfei and others have always faced difficulties and are not afraid of dangers. What's more, they are well prepared - there are anti-pollution shuttle parts, Fenrir wolf and lizard Duke warning (Duke:?), Lizardman Charlie can sense the breath and communicate with lizards, and there are light and dark elf maggots lent to them by Director Bing.
They were born from the pieces of Ymir's flesh and are most sensitive to the smell of the pieces of flesh. If you are so well prepared and still don't want to take the risk to get the supreme treasure, you might as well go home and suckle instead of coming to the competition.
However, even so, it is difficult to find the real lava lizard nest. There are frost giants under the Vatnajökull glacier. The pieces of Ymir's ancestor flesh can be easily transferred among them, and the lava lizards also migrate with them. Most of the places they found were abandoned nests.
“Huh!”
But this time was different. During the chat, Bingyi suddenly felt the violent fluctuation of the flame. He looked over immediately and his pupils shrank suddenly. He saw the raging flames on the black rock where the team was located, rising more than ten meters high like a fountain. The flames burned the air and made a sharp sound of airflow. Even those who were far away could feel the scorching temperature!
Miao Fangfei and the others retreated quickly. Bingyi saw that the werewolf Walker, who was dressed in black and gray, was holding a person in his arms. It was the lizard man Charlie. He saw that his facial features and hair were all gone and he was burnt black. The safety helmet fell off with a click, and his burnt head rolled to the ground. Charlie was already dead!
