Chapter 624: Iceland Shock (156)

The stickiness of the meat strips on the back of his hand made Wei Xun suffocate for a moment. He immediately shook off the meat strips and fished out the phantom cat from the eggshell, and then used the phantom cat's claws to pull out the meat strips. After emptying the lizard eggshell, Bingyi looked inside and found that the little lizard and the spider silk had really disappeared.

Amidst the crunching sound of crampons piercing the ice, Bing turned around and looked to where he came from. The snowy ice field was a vast white scene, and he could vaguely see the place where they temporarily camped during their lunch break. Now that the team has not gone far, they can still go back to look for it, but Bingyi knows that the little lizard may have dived into the vast magma river long ago, and it is futile to go back to look for it.

When did they disappear? Most likely it was after Bingyi woke up from his old dream and the little lizard saw the piece of ice he brought back. Bingyi guessed that it was definitely very interested in the Jin Lunga Gap, and was bound to get the legendary butterfly and cocoon shell. The ice he brought out from his old dream represents a certain possibility. As Wei Xun said, the primitive abyss that disappeared in the past may reappear in the world at Ragnarok.

The little lizard cannot enter the old dream and cannot act directly from the dream. It should have left the brigade in order to better search for the Jinlunga Chasm. The volcanic lava lizards wandering in the magma river deep in the cracks to collect flame crystals are most likely to be its subordinates.

The place where the flame crystals of the Fire Country collide with the river ice of the Mist Country is the Jinlunga Gap. If you find these two items, you may be able to sense the location of the gap. Even though the Chasm is not currently alive, there are likely to be items from the Chasm on this ice sheet, just like the piece of ice that Bingyi obtained.

The brigade in the old dream was in the same area as them. In the dream, they could find items related to the gap on this ice sheet. In reality, there are definitely deep secrets hidden deep in this ice sheet.

'It's not simple'

Yu Hehui warned: ‘It’s not just a journey’

Yes, Bingyi also knew it well. The little lizard knew too many things. It was not like a newly hatched lizard, but like an experienced traveler or tour guide who knew the journey well. Bingyi has been wary of it ever since it took the initiative to communicate with his spirit. Now that the little lizard is missing and the enemy is in darkness, Bingyi feels much more relaxed.

It has to stay dormant in the egg to make it difficult to attack. Now that the little lizard is missing, it has revealed quite a few clues. Neither the sleeping phantom cat nor Yu Hehui could notice it, so it just disappeared out of thin air from the eggshell. This made Bingyi suspect that it might have more than one entity.

‘Tell me, do hunters also have a mental state?’

Bingyi glanced at the fang hunter leading the way. The relationship between the fang hunter and various flame lizards made Bingyi think deeply. He believed that he could get first-hand information about the Jinlunga Gap in his old dream. The little lizard was so cunning that even if he decided to leave the team to find an opportunity, he would not be able to completely let go of the team's information.

It can simply disappear and leave, unless it leaves a back-up in the team who can know the news here at any time.

This made Bingyi think of himself and the phantom cat.

The phantom cat can also transform in the physical illusion, and because of its mental state, the phantom cat can teleport back to Bingyi at any time no matter how far it travels.

Is it possible that this little lizard is also the illusion of a tooth hunter?

‘Hunters can also have mental states’

Yu Hehui answered cautiously, his heart beating rapidly. Could it be that Wei Xun discovered the tooth hunter's problem? You can see that there are differences among hunters. There are also guides among the hunters?

However, he really didn't expect how unrestrained Wei Xun's thinking was. Hearing what Yu Hehui said, Bingyi immediately knew what he was thinking. But what he was most concerned about at the moment was not the little lizard tooth hunter.

Can one’s mental state actually speak?

Then why did the phantom cat never talk to him!

Bingyi picked up the phantom cat and rubbed its face while holding back his breath. He thought the phantom cat couldn't speak human language, but now it seemed like it didn't want to talk to him? Whether in reality or in dreams, it never made a sound. This was really, really true - Bingyi almost laughed in anger. The phantom cat fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. However, the gray-purple flesh strip still hanging on the phantom cat's paw couldn't stand the tossing, and jumped onto Bingyi's hand again.

This time Bingyi wore gloves on his hands and did not shake the meat strip away. He lowered his eyes to look at it. This thing is related to the black angel, and the spider silk is related to the little witch. Now that the spider silk and the little lizard have disappeared, why is it left behind? What else do you want from him?

Finally it was back in Bingyi's hands, and the meat strips were unambiguous. It secreted puppet filaments around its body, and used the filaments to leave writings on Bingyi's hand. The wind blew them away, and no one saw it except Bingyi, but it made his heart freeze.

【coach】

Bingben thought that the meat strip was about to tell news about small lizards and spider silk, but he didn't expect that it only left these two words. Then it became shriveled up and swayed by the wind, and returned to the eggshell.

Coach, is he hinting at the close connection between the little lizard and the tooth hunter, suggesting that the disappearance of the little lizard and the spider silk is related to the tooth hunter? But he had already guessed the connection.

coach……

Bingyi looked forward, thoughtfully.

In addition to the tooth hunter, there is also a coach on the team. His presence was very weak, and everyone almost ignored him during the glacier hike where conditions were frequent.

But it is undeniable that they have not been able to figure out the identity of this coach until now. Is he a hunter? Are you a native of Iceland? A believer in Thor?

Or is it……

Something else.

"Damn, the landscape has changed here."

The tooth hunter couldn't help but curse, hooked the ice pick next to him, and lifted himself out of the snow nest.

This is not the first time he has fallen into a snow cave. The ice road here is narrow and difficult to walk, and even he has to pay attention to his steps. The brigade had passed through a piece of thin ice just now. The ice looked solid and there was nothing unusual about it. However, as soon as the crampons stepped on it, the thin ice immediately collapsed. There were corroded snow pockets under the ice, as terrifying as a polar swamp! Moreover, the ice cracked extremely quickly, swallowing up almost all the passengers in the entire brigade in the blink of an eye.

But fortunately, everyone was not too dirty and their bodies were covered with the ashes and grease of the salamanders, so the whole army was not wiped out. It's just that the black grease stained on the bodies of the passengers crawling out of the snow nest fell off a lot. If this happens one or two more times, it will probably lose its effect.

The fang hunter's face was very ugly, and this was his wrong way. However, no matter how careful and meticulous he is, the changed landscape still catches people off guard. Naturally, we won’t touch the snowdrifts on the surface of the ice sheet, but the corrosive snow under the smooth ice surface catches people off guard! How can there be snow under the ice? The passengers also felt something was wrong.

"The temperature seems to be rising."

Shao Yuan frowned and took off his scarf, exhaled and looked at the leaden sky. The snow didn't stop, but the falling snowflakes became smaller and turned into snow grits like salt grains. They rustled on the jacket and turned into a puddle of water after a while. The temperature was indeed higher than before, and the ice underfoot was no longer so hard and a little waxy. Crampons can dig into the ice more easily, but if you use too much force, the ice will crack directly.

He glanced at the stopwatch. They had been hiking for more than 40 minutes since setting off at noon. These 40 minutes had been relatively uneventful except for getting stuck in corrosive snow a few times. They had not encountered any frost giants and no more snow zombies. I have walked through a few places on the exposed black basalt surface. Some have cracks in the ground and some do not. The cracks are very shallow, but they are only one or two meters deep underground. There are no traces of volcanic lava lizards. It is not a strange place. It is too peaceful and uneasy. , something strange appeared ahead, which made people feel relieved.

"What's the landscape ahead, and where have we gone?"

Miao Fangfei asked the tooth hunter.

"Ahead is a very peculiar natural ice crevice, which was once known as the 'Dwarf Corridor'"

The tooth hunter also frowned and explained the terrain ahead. This is a very special natural ice crevice. It is more than ten meters long and one meter deep. However, it does not crack directly like ice cracks. Instead, it is capped by a thin layer of ice. Because it is only one meter deep, I am afraid that only dwarves can Only one can pass through it, so it is named after this. If people want to visit here, they can only slide through this ice crevice while lying down like a water slide. It is very dangerous but also very interesting.

It is said that there are many wonderful and magnificent natural patterns on the capped thin ice, which cannot be seen on the ice surface. It can only be seen clearly inside the ice crevices. It attracts many tourists every year. There are also many local travel agencies in Iceland. This is the end point of the glacier hike. After visiting the ice crevice, you can return the same way. However, it was forced to close within a few years after it was opened because tourists mysteriously disappeared here almost every year.

There is no other exit in the ice crevice, and there are coaches at the entrance and exit. How can people who enter the ice crevice disappear? There are rumors that there are cracks under the crevasse, and tourists slipped through it. However, some people dared to slide face down through the crevasse. After coming out, it was determined that there were indeed many cracks at the bottom of the crevice, but the widest crack was only two centimeters. , there is no big crack, how can a two centimeter gap swallow a living person?

Some people say that the crack under the ice leads to the underworld. Hela, the god of death, will occasionally look up at the world. The souls of people caught in her gaze will return to the underworld, and the body will fall into the crack. Later, someone visited here again, but when they came out, their faces were pale, and they said they saw pale white severed fingers in the narrow crack, which caused quite a sensation for a while.

But no one dares to go to the crevasse again, and no one can confirm it. The ice crevice was narrow and it was far away from the hiking point, making it difficult for the rescue team to reach. Soon, this famous scenic spot was banned from visiting by the government.

A rift leading to the underworld?

The passengers secretly glanced at Director B in a tacit understanding.

"Why are you taking the road here? You're not going to this dwarf corridor, are you?"

Roger complained dissatisfiedly, but the fang hunter gave him a cold glance: "Aren't you looking for a weird place?"

"Why, don't you think it's weird enough?"

"That's not what Roger meant."

Betty smoothed things over and said, "Coach Ya, you are familiar with this place. Is the temperature here a little too high?"

"It's a bit high, but volcanic activity has been frequent in recent days, so it's still normal."

Another coach smiled and smoothed things over: "We don't have to go off the ice when we get to the front, and we can just visit the side. Don't you like taking photos of these strange scenes the most? It would be a pity not to go."

"The temperature is high, maybe there are volcanic lava lizards nesting here."

"More than that... the terrain here is very strange."

There is a thin layer of ice crust on the corroded snow. It is most likely that the snow on top turned into water and then experienced a sudden drop in temperature and froze into ice. And if there are frequent underground volcanoes, the corrosive blood near the surface should dissolve first. Why does the top layer of snow melt? Why does it freeze into ice again?

After discussion, the passengers decided not to change the route and continue moving forward. The main reason was that they found that the surroundings were surrounded by corrosive snow covered with ice shells. If they wanted to change their path, they had to go back the same way. Hiking on the left and right glaciers was inherently dangerous, so everyone was mentally prepared. After resting on the spot for five minutes with a tacit understanding, they each picked up their weapons, used their titles, and walked forward cautiously.

Since the coach spoke, Bingyi paid special attention to him. The temperature here has risen a bit, and the wind is not as cold as if it would scrape off people's skin. The snow falling from the sky gradually mixed with rain, and mixed with the grease and ash on people's bodies, like mud, emitting a strange and unpleasant smell.

But Bingyi faintly smelled a meaty aroma in this smell. Different from the aroma of flame crystals and the black liquid of giants, this meaty aroma has a rotten smell, as if the rotten meat was picked up, washed, stewed, and fried, and the rotten meat smell was covered with heavy seasonings, but there was still a faint nauseating smell in the aroma.

Bingyi wrinkled his nose. This smell came from under the ice. It was as if there was a layer of meat mud buried under the ice surface they walked on.

"We're here!"

A few minutes later, the two teams arrived at the place where the ice crevice of the 'Dwarf Corridor' was located, but the scene in front of them shocked everyone and made them feel physiologically nauseous.

"What is this?!"

The thin ice on the top of the ice gap, which was more than ten meters long, had melted completely, making it look like a shallow ice ditch. However, it was unimaginable that this ice ditch was filled with meat paste! Red meat, yellow fat and white bone residue were soaked in blood, half of it was frozen and the other half was like being roasted by fire, the smell of burnt and blood mixed together, it was disgusting!
