Chapter 677: Iceland Shock (204)

flesh……

Thinking that he had just climbed over it, Bingyi's face darkened, especially when Xiaocui confirmed that the flesh and blood stained on the black sand was real.

‘I don’t feel the presence of flesh and blood’

Bingyi thought to himself, he was careful not to make a sound in this ice cave tunnel, he just communicated mentally: "corn shoots"

‘Father, I didn’t smell anything delicious just now! ’

The corn shoots that had stopped obediently said confidently, with a little bit of curiosity and doubt that was eager to try: 'But the bamboo shoots can smell it now! There is actually food. How did this happen? Father is so awesome! ’

The corn shoots don't lie, and these words are enough to prove that when Bingyi and the others passed here, there was indeed no flesh and blood on the black sand. All changes occurred after the tunnel collapsed.

‘Is this an illusion or reality? ’

Bingyi thought to himself, if he alone didn't find the problem, it might be an illusion that deceived him. But none of Corn Bamboo Shoots, Xiao Cui, and Xiao Long warned them, which meant that there was nothing strange about the tunnel when they passed by. This is a test for travelers and tour guides only. He was not swallowed by the sinking tunnel and passed the test, and the truth was revealed here. If you fail the test...

‘Father, it will be fine soon! ’

Xiaocui Xiaocui is working hard to analyze the genes contained in this flesh and blood. She is an expert in this field. Before, she could only collect and extract the genes of fused demonic insects. But now that she has the authority of Hela, the God of Death, she has also been involved in the human aspect. However, she is not yet proficient in the mastery and cannot fuse human-insect genes. Class projects.

In order to practice this skill before, she collected passengers from the two brigades Bing 1 and B 1, but now it comes in handy. Soon Xiao Cui came to the conclusion: 'Here are the flesh and blood of Yin Guangyuan, Walker, Miranda and Lisa! ’

Neither Walker nor Lisa passed the test? Bingyi felt a little depressed. As a tour guide, he didn't feel that there were any extra cuts in the team. But this ice cave can block the connection between him and Wei Xun, Tong Hege and others, and it may also be able to blind the tour guide's perception. But if it's all a test of the sudden subsidence of the tunnel, there's a chance that Yin Guangyuan and Miranda will fail, but there's no reason why Walker and Lisa didn't pass?

Are the tests different, or...

‘Xiao Cui, check the surrounding ice walls for several signs of damage. ’

Just then, thinking of the scratch marks on the ice walls on both sides of the tunnel, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Bingyi's heart, and the results of Xiaocui's next test confirmed his thoughts. There are a total of five kinds of man-made traces on the ice walls on both sides of the black sand tunnel covered with flesh and blood. There are three kinds of claw marks, such as Yin Guangyuan's tiger claws, Walker's wolf claws and Lisa's devil claws. In addition, there is a trace of corrosion from the potion and a mark left by the crampon.

If danger suddenly appears in the tunnel, the first reaction of passengers will definitely be to fight back. Escape in such a cramped and narrow tunnel that makes it impossible to turn around will only lead to faster death. Danger like sudden collapse of the ground can be easily avoided by anyone outside. But here it is difficult to use your hands and feet. Bingyi was able to drag the corn shoots and escape from the collapse area effortlessly, but when he brought other passengers in, he had to use various methods.

In particular, the collapse did not mean that the entire bottom of the tunnel collapsed, but only collapsed from the waist down. It was more like giving people a chance to struggle and react. And still in the middle of such a dark and depressing tunnel, people's spirits have been stretched to the limit, and it is difficult to stay calm in this situation.

In a life-or-death crisis, some people will forget the rules.

‘Except for blue ice, no ice surface in the ice cave can be damaged, and we must take action to protect natural attractions’

The crushed flesh and blood left in the black sand may be the price for breaking the rules, but——

'Keep moving forward'

As soon as Bing gave the order, he wanted to take another look.

It's like the difficulty level suddenly increased. The next half of the tunnel is far more dangerous than the first half of the tunnel. The ground collapses, ghost hands behind the ice wall, the earth suddenly shakes violently, the cries of ghosts and howls tear people's spirits, etc., not only It was Bingyi, and even the corn shoots and Xiaolong were seriously affected. By the time they climbed out of this tunnel, Xiaolong's body was so illusive that it was almost invisible.

"It's the wind, be careful of the wind!"

After hastily leaving this reminder, Xiaolong's figure shattered like a bubble in a dream, and the dragon scale as a medium also became a little dull, and was carefully kept in Bingyi's arms. Outside the tunnel is a smaller ice cave, which is also not very spacious. As soon as Bing stood up, his head was almost touching the roof of the cave. In the small area covered by the light of the headlight, the blue ice reflects a strange and bright light, like a cave full of blue diamonds. The clear blue is mixed with wisps of dark blue and almost black cracks, like deep sea waves.

Even after reaching this point, they were still unable to communicate spiritually with Wei Xun and the others. The winding trail of blood extended from the entrance of the tunnel to deeper parts of the ice cave. Bingyi found some traces of fighting in the ice cave, but the ice surface was not damaged too much. Apparently the passengers began to strictly abide by the rules. However, there are still a lot of blood stains left here. Not far ahead, there are even piles of black-red material that has been frozen hard, looking like internal organs and flesh.

This seemingly quiet ice cave contains murderous intent, and the passengers have entered deeper. Bingyi did not explore immediately. He leaned down and looked at the tunnel he came from, rubbed his fingers, and his nails turned into sharp devil nails. He reached into the tunnel and carefully scratched the ice wall. He controlled it well, and the sharp devil's nails only made a mark about two centimeters long and two millimeters deep. Then he waited for a moment, but nothing happened, and he didn't feel anything strange in his body.

Of course, after all, Bingyi has no sense of pain, but there are corn shoots that are very sensitive to the smell of blood. The worm shrunk its body and obediently coiled around his wrist like a golden python. It sniffed everything and found nothing wrong. Bingyi was surprised, and then suddenly blew air at it. His body temperature was very low, and there was no white mist even when he breathed in the extremely cold ice cave. The corn shoots moved their tentacles like the tongue of a snake, and then it eagerly came over to probe: "Father, it smells so good! There is food... No, it's the smell of blood! '

Sure enough, there was a break in his body, and Bingyi understood it. Destroying the ice wall will indeed have the same reaction on the human body, which is simpler and more brutal than he originally thought. However, this counter-injury does not seem to be random. Bingyi tried a few more times, and there was still no scar on his body, but the smell of blood coming up from his throat became stronger and stronger. He could smell it himself without the corn shoots.

Do different places in the ice cave correspond to different parts of the human body? The tunnel corresponds to the internal organs... If we only look at the outline, the long and narrow tunnel corresponds to the human intestines?

If this is true, according to the deep scratches on the ice wall of the tunnel, Walker and his team may have torn their intestines.

"The situation is not good."

Bingyi sighed lightly, with more interest in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, he found a piece of black and green plant stem in his hand, which was a contaminated parasite he had cut off before! Or rather, it was not cut off. Since he found that the parasite was full of liquid and it would splash out if cut off, Bingyi changed from cutting to digging up the roots.

When digging, the ice surface where they "rooted" was also taken along, trying to ensure the integrity of the parasite as much as possible. Then the question is, if destroying the ice surface will be punished, then he cut a large piece of ice surface at that time, why didn't he have any reaction? Even if he has no sense of pain, if such a large range of damage really feeds back, Bingyi would at least vomit blood.

Did the parasites' pollution and destruction shield the 'rules', or did the parasites take root and 'destroy' the ice surface first, so the backlash has already come to them?

Bingyi simply crushed a small piece of ice at the root of the stem, and there was a faint light flickering in his eyes. He saw many crystal-like filaments like light dust, interspersed and entangled in the ice fragments, which were tiny mycelium. The tiny ice filaments were entangled in the tiny ice particles, and each ice particle had a very small round hole like a grain of sand, like the traces left by tiny bubbles frozen in the ice.

"Wind?"

Bingyi thought of Xiaolong's words "be careful of the wind" before he left. He did not suffer any backlash when he destroyed the ice particles entangled by mycelium. With a turn of his brain, Bingyi directly stabbed the parasite on the ice wall! The parasites, which were still extremely docile in his hand, stood up as soon as they fell on the ice surface, and the mycelium quickly spread to the ice surface. Bingyi took the opportunity to draw his sword and cut it down, before this small piece of ice surface was completely contaminated by the parasites.

Then he saw the ‘wind’ from the cut surface with his own eyes. It was an extremely light cyclone, but it was filled with a breath of destruction and death. It rushed into Bingyi’s body at a speed that was difficult for people to react, but it was wrapped and swallowed by the hyphae and absorbed completely. So there were only round holes in the ice that looked like they were eaten by insects, which looked very creepy.

If I hadn’t known it earlier, I would have thought that this was the place where parasitic fungus spores or some kind of insect eggs lived, or that there were indeed other things accumulated in the ice layer before, but now they were all replaced by wind. No wonder I could always hear the sound of wind when I crawled through the tunnel just now. It turned out that the wind was hidden in the ice wall. If I didn’t find this, I thought that there must be a passage to the outside world when there was wind, and I would probably be misled into a dead end in the end.

“The power of the wind is getting stronger.”

Bingyi pondered. At the place where Betty and Roger died, the edges of the parasitic fungi that grew in the place with less blood had begun to wither. Obviously, the wind in the ice could not provide them with enough power. But now, the parasite that Bingyi had stuck on the ice was still intact, and even more hyphae emerged.

"It is indeed the winter of wind."

Bingyi sighed. Previously, major events happened in Iceland, which brought chain reactions to other Nordic countries. This time, they finally encountered a chain reaction. In Norse mythology, before the Ragnarok came, there were three years of severe Fimbul winter. This long winter came because of the death of Baldur, the god of light, and the nine worlds of Nordic lost the blessing of the god of light. Spring, summer and autumn all disappeared, leaving only winter.

This winter was described in "Edda: The Prophecy of the Female Seer" - brothers will kill each other and become each other's mortal enemies; sisters' young girls will be abused by their relatives.

This was a difficult era, and adultery was rampant.

This was the age of axes, the age of swords, and shields were split in two.

Before the destruction of the world, it was the age of wind and the age of wolves.

There were three consecutive winters, the first of which was the Winter of Wind, the Winter of Sword, and the Winter of Wolf. The harsh cold wind caused the temperature to drop sharply, killing all crops. The lack of food caused the order of the world to begin to collapse. The cold and brutal cold wind made magic and curses unstable, releasing many enemies that the Norse gods had imprisoned. Nothing could resist the harsh cold wind.

Nothing could resist it?

Looking at the black-green parasite that took root in the ice and tried to spread, still very docile and intimate to him, Bingyi smiled.

He has found something that can prevent wind and solidify ice. As for the spread of pollution, this parasite originally came from the original abyss, and it can be regarded as something that originally existed in this ice cave. When the wind in the ice can provide them with nutrition, it is only a matter of time before it spreads.

The blood-sucking knife pierced the parasite, and where the black-green fungal juice spread, a batch of black-green mushrooms grew up, covering the crystal ice surface. The energy provided by ice cannot be compared with the pupa juice. These mushrooms did not grow to the top of the ice cave, but only grew to the height of a person's calf. The large patches of black-green mushrooms made people's scalps numb. This ice cave was like it was transformed into an abyss in advance!

Bingyi used the blood-sucking knife to control the growth range of the parasite. When they grew all over the ice cave, Bingyi was about to cross the ice cave, but he was suddenly stunned and took out the butterfly-sized pupa with his backhand. Just now, the butterfly-sized pupa suddenly moved! After taking it out, Bingyi was surprised to find that cracks appeared on the human-shaped pupa shell, as if it was about to break out of the pupa!

Could it be that the parasites from the primordial abyss have affected the butterfly pupa? Are they really one of the foods of the butterfly? The butterfly pupa senses that the food is rich enough, so it wants to break out of the cocoon? The thought only lasted for a moment, but the next moment Bing Yi snorted and squeezed the pupa shell tightly, forcibly pinching the crack on it and holding the poor butterfly pupa in his hands like a devil.

Do you want to break out of the cocoon? No way!
