Chapter 628: Icelandic Horror (160)
"Crack!"
The lightning was so shocking that even passengers who were some distance away from the tooth hunter felt a tingling current on their faces, which turned into a stinging pain like needles. Some people had long paid attention to the Danlin side, but the lightning was not struck by the "Thunder God's Blessed" Danlin. Instead, it fell directly from the sky, which made people's hearts sink.
Today is the day of the God of Thunder, and this glacier was transformed by Slud, the daughter of the God of Thunder. He dared to talk about liberating the frost giants and letting them eat blood. Even Director B, who was thinking so in his heart, did not say it directly. Only the fang hunter dared to charge hard.
"Have a chance to kill me if you can."
The dazzling electric light hunter with middle teeth was still sneering, and his voice sounded quite energetic. But An Xuefeng sniffed and smelled a burnt smell. The violent temper of the god of thunder meets the violent temper of the fang hunter. I am afraid that the temper will become more and more intense at any time. His heart moved slightly, and the sun giant Xiao Sha followed his order and vomited out a large ball of blood food full of pollution.
"Boom!"
The sound of thunder, accompanied by the sizzling sound of electric current penetrating the air, the fierce hunter's lightning struck the mass of flesh and blood in a threatening manner, splitting it into burnt black powder in an instant, leaving traces on the ice-covered ground. There were several dark marks, and then the thunder finally subsided, but in the deafening thunder just now, most of the ice wall next to it collapsed, and all the nails that the passengers had worked so hard to hammer were buried in the ice. In pieces of debris.
This was Thor, God of Thunder, warning them through his anger that they must deal with the contaminated sacrifice ice trench, and no other way would work. The air was filled with a special ionized smell, and the scene was silent. After a while, a burnt black figure sneered coldly and said with a smile:
"This strength is not enough to scratch the scales on my body."
It was the fang hunter who spoke. All his clothes and equipment were chopped into charcoal, and he fell down when the wind blew. The charred skin rolled up to reveal scarlet wounds, but they were not deep and not fatal.
"Okay, stop talking."
Bing said expressionlessly, smelling the smell of roasted lizards coming from the fang hunter, he felt a little hungry again: "Go to the tent and change into spare clothes, I'll freeze you to death in a while."
"I'm not as afraid of the cold as some people."
The tooth hunter is very tough on the mouth, but his body is still honest. When the cold wind blew the charred crumbs of his clothes off again and he was really running around naked, he still wanted to be embarrassed and went to the tent to change clothes.
"A favor."
When he passed by Bingyi, Bingyi heard a whisper. He looked at the fang hunter calmly, but the fang hunter looked normal, thinking that these words were not what he said.
‘What are you doing with the tooth hunter coming out? ’
Almost at the same time, Wei Xun's voice sounded in Bingyi's mind as if he and Ya Hunter had a tacit understanding. He complained: "Yu Xiangyang can also be attacked, I have already told him."
That's right, the brigade has two camps to choose from from beginning to end, the camp of the Nordic gods and the camp of the Frost Giants. If one path doesn't work, you can try the other. Since Ragnarok is inevitable and there is no absolute winner in this twilight, there is actually not much difference between giants and Norse gods to travelers.
But with the God of Thunder watching, on the glacier transformed by Slud, there will definitely be a high price to pay for blatantly surrendering to the giants. The passengers were not that stupid, and it was not acting at all in the beginning. But if it really comes down to the decision of whether humans should eat blood food or giants should eat blood food, everyone will still let the giants eat.
In particular, the rune corresponds to the White Lotus layman. If the layman is allowed to eat flesh and blood, it is very likely that he will be 'forced to death'... The word 'forced to death' is outrageous when applied to the White Lotus layman.
Therefore, except for Roger and other straight-minded people, the other passengers were thinking about how to join forces on both sides. It would be best to fake an accident and get the Frost Giant out. Before that, we must first see how much Thor pays attention to them, whether he only uses Dan Lin's eyes or other means, and whether he can make small moves after making Dan Lin unconscious.
This requires one person to come out and speak nonsense - ah, just like what the tooth hunter did just now.
Now they also know the result.
First, the God of Thunder is paying close attention to this place, not only through Dan Lin’s eyes, he is also watching this ice sheet from ‘the sky’.
Second, the lethality of Thor's lightning is less than expected, as if it has been weakened. It was clear that there were dozens of lightning bolts striking at the same time in the sky, but only two or three struck the fang hunter.
‘...Who knows if it’s because the Tooth Hunter was the chosen hero that Thor showed mercy? Just say that Yu Xiangyang is more suitable than him and ask him to muddy the waters. ’
An Xuefeng said bluntly that Yu Xiangyang's zombie horse performed poorly in the horse racing and was not rated as a 'hero'. It was appropriate to use him to test the power that Thor could exert here.
That's right, Thor can't show his full strength here.
‘The Lizard Duke is testing the power of Thor, right?’
No one dared to discuss this openly anymore, everyone had their own private chats. Shao Yuan and Miao Fangfei chatted secretly through spiritual heart Gu. The Lizard Duke is by no means a reckless person, and he certainly has a purpose in doing so.
‘Are you testing what stage Ragnarok has reached? How much more power can Thor, God of Thunder, have to share? ’
‘Maybe it’s because of this croissant cup’
Miao Fangfei secretly thought: 'In the Nordic mythology, the God of Thunder lost the match with the frost giant. ’
From the communication between the devil merchant and Slud, about the croissant cup with unlimited capacity that could be connected to the sea hidden by the frost giant under the ice ditch, Miranda and others had some vague guesses. Seeing that Thunder God's lightning was weakened when it struck down, I felt even more confident.
There is a very classic story in Norse mythology, recorded in the Prose Edda, in which Thor and Loki went on an adventure to Jotunheim. Jotunheim is the home of the Mountain Giants and Frost Giants of the Nine Worlds. During the adventure, a giant frequently stole their food. Thor was so hungry that he tried to kill it but failed. Later, he found out that this giant was actually the lord of the outer castle, the frost giant Utgar Lodge.
They challenged the frost giant, but all failed. Utgar Lorch challenged Thor to drain a glass of wine, wrestle with a giant old woman, and lift a cat.
Thor, the god of thunder, failed to win in the three games because the horn cup holding the wine was connected to the sea and could not be drunk dry; the old woman was the embodiment of aging (all the gods in Norse mythology will age, and only the goddess of youth can be eaten regularly) Only the golden apple can stay young), aging cannot be shaken; and the cat is the transformation of the earthly python Jörmungandr, it can surround the world, even though the God of Thunder has divine power, he can only lift one cat's foot*
‘…The corn snake already looks a bit like Jörmungandr. When it smells the flesh and blood, it feels the power of the horn cup, and that’s why it says that even if the God of Thunder comes, it won’t be able to finish it.’
Bingyi told the story to the corn snake who was still a little confused. Compared with the progress of Fenrir Little Wolf and Xiao Cui, Corn Snake's progress in gaining authority and recognition is still a little behind.
‘Thor’s power will be limited in areas that have failed. ’
An Xuefeng said, so since arriving at Binggou, the God of Thunder has taken action twice, not only in anger, but also in a deterrent manner. He wanted to scare them with his divine power and make them fearful and awe, so that they would not dare to play evil tricks.
‘Thor attaches great importance to this place’
Bingyi was thoughtful, is it because the Binggou Blood Food is related to the resurrection of the Frost Giant, or is there another reason?
"Come and see, these dark scorch marks are the messages left by the God of Thunder!"
At this moment, Dan Lin, who had been staying at the place where Thunder God's lightning chopped the meat, checking the scorch marks left on the ice field and snow, made a new discovery.
"'As long as you can take away the croissant cup under the ice ditch and light up the runes, Thor will appear and destroy all the blood food' - that's probably what it means."
Dan Lin said that at first glance, the scorch marks on the ice sheet were just scorched black. Except for him, who was a follower of the God of Thunder, no one could tell that there was such a message hidden in it.
"Take the croissant cup? How do you take it? It contains all the blood and food. Don't you have to eat all the flesh and blood?"
"Light up the rune letters? How to light them up? We don't have anyone who specializes in this."
Everyone is talking about it. From this message, it can be seen that the weakening of Thor's power in this area is probably related to the croissant cup that once failed him. But it itself is a container for blood food, and it is not easy to just take it out.
"The person who ties the bell needs to untie the bell."
White Lotus layman said: "I should go to light up the rune letters. The golden apple juice we got before and the corn snake in Director Bing's hand may be the key to taking out the croissant cup."
Just like a fairy tale repeating itself, the challenge of White Lotus layman to finish an ice ditch (goblet of blood) of blood is no different from the ancient myth of Thor, the god of thunder, to drink up a goblet of wine. But the current situation is different from before. Thor once failed in various challenges, but now the Jörmungandr represented by the corn snake is incomplete and weak. Back then, they obtained golden apple juice, which clearly stated, 'Drink it when you are awake and you will return. Youth', this is simply a clear statement.
Thor has lost three times in three battles, but if the White Lotus Master can lift a corn snake and drink golden apple juice to resist aging with youth, will these two victories also allow him to usher in a third victory and successfully eat an ice ditch? Eat blood and still survive?
"I want to give it a try."
Lay Buddhist Bai Lian smiled, as calm as ever. He could understand the hidden meaning of Miao Fangfei's words, but it was too risky to wake up the Frost Giant when Thor had been paying close attention to this side.
"Then try it."
The others were hesitant to speak, but Wei Xun said in a very calm tone: "Try it, and if it doesn't work, come back."
An Xuefeng also gave the drop of golden apple juice he got to White Lotus layman. It was obtained at the evening story gathering, and everyone had it. Seeing that he gave it first, Yu Xiangyang gave him his golden apple juice without hesitation, followed by Roger.
"Hey, you have to come back alive."
Roger's tone was rare and solemn. Layman Bailian smiled, clasped his hands and thanked everyone. A drop of golden apple juice is an opportunity to save life, which can be called the delivery of life. But he didn't take everything, only eighteen drops, and then took the corn snake. When picking up the snake, layman Bailian exchanged a look with Bingyi.
"Bring your wealth with you."
An Xuefeng said that he and Wei Xun had discussed it privately. On the surface, it is said that Wangcai is now regarded as the dog of the underworld. If Master Bailian really dies unfortunately, first try to see if Wangcai can bite his soul into the underworld without being directly taken away by the old dream. But secretly An Xuefeng knew that the dog Wangcai came from the council and was considered the 'Son of Listening'. It could be considered to be related to Buddhism, so it might be useful if White Lotus layman brought him there.
"We really don't have much time, God willing everything goes well."
Another coach said helplessly that he was the one who started to frequently check the stopwatch after the tooth hunter left: "We must complete the glacier hike today, at least we have to climb the ice slope."
Bingyi noticed that he said he was looking at the stopwatch, but in fact, he always used the time to look at the stopwatch to glance at the stone with runes. And... God bless?
In a tense and slightly subtle atmosphere, under the gaze of everyone, Bailian Jushi led Wangcai Dog and Corn Snake to the ice ditch filled with blood food. As everyone expected, Bailian Jushi was less affected by the corn snake than when he approached the ice ditch alone. He started drinking golden apple juice when he was about 35 meters away from the ice ditch, one drop after another, and drank nearly ten drops in a blink of an eye, which made people anxious.
"Hey, why didn't he bring more? Is this only eighteen drops enough?"
"Normally, there are twenty people in a tour group, not counting the tour guide. It would be safest for Bai Lian to bring twenty drops."
"Eighteen is a good omen. The group... Bai Lian should be able to sense it."
Yao Jinghe whispered. Eighteen is a very special number. The Buddha has four wishes, and the eighteenth wish is to hope for peace in the world.
"Eighteen drops are enough. As long as it can exceed ten drops, it will be enough."
An Xuefeng said, staring at Bai Lian's back, his eyes became colder. He knew best what the tour group would do. One group, two camps, ten to ten, and to deal with the issue of sacrifice normally, it was obviously the camp of the Nordic gods. As long as Bai Lian had ten drops of golden apple juice and half of the people supported him, he would succeed.
Sure enough, as he expected, Bai Lian moved forward again after drinking the tenth drop of golden apple juice, and this time he stopped beside the ice ditch. Along the way, he kept chanting to offset the pollution, and a golden light appeared behind his head. Not only him, but also Wangcai, who had been following Bailian, also had a golden light behind his head. It seemed that there was a chanting sound coming from the sky. Wangcai should have been excluded by the blood food, but he and Bailian went forward together, and they all walked to the front of the ice ditch.
"Hiss, that stone is lit!"
Someone gasped in surprise, and saw that at the moment when Bailian walked to the side of the ice ditch, a half-buried stone in front of the ice ditch actually flashed a faint light. It was the stone engraved with the rune! Is this what Thor said about "lighting up" the rune? It seems that this letter really corresponds to Bailian.
The passengers were all in a state of confusion, and they couldn't tell what they were feeling. Roger hugged Betty tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones. Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Lian, who was standing by the ice ditch in the distance. He put down the corn snake he had been holding all the way, held Wang Cai and pondered for a moment, and then put his ears close to the ice and snow with Wang Cai, as if listening to something. Then he suddenly inserted his hands into the blood and flesh mud in the ice ditch!
"He wants to pick up the 'ram horn cup'!"
Yu Xiangyang, who had been paying close attention to the distance, had his eyes lit up. They had been discussing how to find the ram horn cup in the ice ditch. It would be difficult to find it unless they had eaten all the blood and flesh. But if the myth is repeated, 'drinking' naturally means picking up the cup to drink! If Bai Lian could really do this, then maybe he wouldn't have to eat blood food!
"Can he find where the cup is? The blood food has submerged the cup completely"
"The pollution is too heavy, Bai Lian's hands are starting to melt!"
The travelers became worried in excitement, but An Xuefeng knew that Bai Lian could find it. Because Wang Cai was there, and the son of Di Ting was there. It likes to eat all kinds of pollution. The most concentrated and concentrated place in this pool of blood and flesh is, of course, the location of the goat horn cup.
[Success! Bai Lian Lay Buddhist raised the goat horn cup! ]
At this moment, the barrage in the Iceland live broadcast room was also swiping the screen frantically. If it was not blocked, it was almost impossible to see the screen clearly. Bai Lian Lay Buddhist's hands had been polluted into bloody bones. His pair of bone hands were shrouded in Buddha's light, and he could still move normally. In his bone hands, he was holding a huge wine glass filled with blood and flesh, and where the ice ditch was originally located, there was only a bottomless crack, with some scattered blood and flesh on the edge.
[Does the lay Buddhist really want to drink this cup of polluted blood and flesh? Will this violate the precepts and weaken his title strength? ]
[There is too much pollution in the blood and flesh! Eating it will definitely kill people! ]
[What is Bai Lian Lay Buddhist doing? ? Is he going to take the goat horn cup away? ! 】
That’s right, on the screen of the live broadcast room, Bai Lian, who was holding the goat horn cup filled with blood and flesh, made a move that no one expected - he actually picked up the cup and walked away! There is no specified position for "drinking" in mythological stories. Normally, he can of course take the wine cup away. This is also a bold adventure made after communicating with An Xuefeng, Yu Xiangyang and others.
If the goat horn cup filled with contaminated blood and food can really be taken away from the range covered by the power of the Rune letters and destroy the already incomplete formation, then this problem will be solved by itself, and they can get this goat horn cup filled with blood and flesh and the Rune letter stone without even Lei Shen’s help!
Normally, the formation cannot be broken by such brute force, but on the one hand, the stone engraved with the Rune letters is already incomplete, and on the other hand, Bai Lian is not a weak tour guide. He calls himself Bai Lian, but his complete orange title is "Vajra White Lotus", a guardian Vajra, who is immortal and indestructible, and invulnerable to all laws. The hardness is comparable to Yu Xiangyang!
A faint golden Buddha light appeared on his body, his handsome face was extremely resolute, he carried a corn snake on his shoulder, held a sheep horn cup in his hand, and every step was extremely heavy, almost exerting enough force to shake the ice surface, and he was really getting farther and farther away from the rune character. As the distance increased, the light on the stone was indeed getting fainter and fainter.
Is it going to succeed! Everyone held their breath and focused on the actions of Bai Lian, but at this moment, an unexpected incident occurred during the journey. Bing Yi, An Xuefeng, Yu Xiangyang and others suddenly took action and forcibly subdued the coach who had never shown up! Without giving him any chance to explain, Bing Yi lifted the goggles and scarf on his face, revealing the coach's true face, and An Xuefeng stepped on his right wrist, forcing the coach to open his fingers in pain, and a black bone rolled out of his hand.
"George!"
The passengers and audiences who saw the coach's facial features twisted in pain all exclaimed that this coach looked very similar to the Georges that Director Bing and his friends met on their journey a few days ago - perhaps because of the messy beard.
"This bone has the power of famine."
Dan Lin stared at the black bone in An Xuefeng's hand, but his face was not surprised, but had an expression of "as expected". The death of the Death Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse last night was not the end. The extraordinary attention of the Thunder God, the coach who had been hiding his identity, and the Rune letters representing "harvest" all made the sharp-minded travelers smell something unusual.
The fourth Death Knight appeared in the Apocalypse. Before him, the third Apocalypse Knight who appeared was the Famine Knight riding a black horse! If the harvest is destroyed, famine will come! If everything was just speculation before this, but after Dan Lin felt the breath of the "Outer God" and revealed the true face of the coach, all speculations were realized.
This is not only a blood sacrifice that can revive the frost giants, but once it is not handled properly, the already damaged Rune letters representing the harvest will be destroyed, and it will immediately become the scene of the Famine Knight's god's descent! An Xuefeng asked Yu Xiangyang to hold down the struggling coach's hands and feet and began to search his body. Sure enough, he found a cross in his clothes, as well as the "God bless" that he had inadvertently said before.
This time, George was a believer hiding among the local Icelanders!
