…just like this.
Amid Lily's crazy barking and everyone's stunned stare, the surrounding ice cones and ice forests were suddenly sprayed higher into the sky. They would be blown seven or eight meters high, then carried by the strong wind and bound by the gravity of the planet...they would begin to fall again.
That's why they never thought of riding on the solidified icicles to avoid them.
When the first wave of ice cones rose to the critical height, fluid gushed out of the holes in the ice caves on the ground again. They were quickly frozen into ice by the cold wind, and then paused for about a second. At the moment when the first wave of ice cones began to fall, the second wave of ice cones rose into the air again.
No one can survive in this icy purgatory!
Heidi's body quickly rose and swelled, her skin turned purple with beautiful light patterns, her toes turned into sharp roots that pierced the soles of her shoes and the ice, taking root deeply to keep her stable, and her entire upper body starting from her shoulders turned into large branches and vines, which looked like wings formed by branches and vines at first glance. She used these wings to wrap everyone inside, intending to forcibly resist the storm.
This won’t work…!
Xia Yibing saw what she was planning.
It’s a good idea, but can she really stick with it?
Even though she is not afraid of being pierced by ice cones in this form, as the ice cones become more and more numerous and dense, she will be crushed by their weight!
"tutor!"
But Heidi at least bought time. Hitzfeld made sure that no one in the team was seriously injured - even Lily was unharmed. She immediately held down the left strand of hair and growled at the red headband for help.
"I'm just waiting for your words."
The headband instantly turned into a blood crystal crow, floating in the air and flapping its wings.
"Give me your real blood!"
Hitzfeld reached out synchronously, allowing the crow to peck at her wrist.
"you--"
Xia Yibing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and she subconsciously slapped the black bird.
But a huge force pushed it away.
If the Death Ice Forest is a great force bestowed by nature, vast, boundless and unrivaled, then what happened to the Blood Crystal Crow at this moment should be called a human miracle.
It was as if a blood seed exploded, and in an unknown amount of time, the Blood Crystal Crow completed its shape.
She first shrank her body and condensed into a "singularity", and then continued to spread the power with an explosive trend. It was endless flesh and blood tissue... They were generated out of thin air and condensed into basic structures such as bones and flesh. In just a blink of an eye, the outline of a giant over ten meters tall, with only the upper body but no lower body, broke through the branches and appeared above.
This is not a wooden golem created by a curse.
If you observe carefully from a neutral perspective, you can find that the outline of the half-giant is much thinner and tougher. Its chest is slightly bulging, indicating that it belongs to another gender, and countless blood filaments and granulations form a heavy and gorgeous blood crystal armor on its body surface.
From the breastplate to the shoulder armor, and finally pulling off the visor with a clang, the giant waved his hand and swept forward: "Get out!"
His five fingers were as sharp as knives, tearing apart all the ice crystals, icicles and even some of the snow and wind, whether they were rooted on the ground or falling from the sky. He actually created a short-lived safe zone.
There was no need for Hitzfeld to remind them this time. Even Esther had no time to be surprised by such means. The four people and the dog ran madly on the frozen ice surface, running more than ten meters away. They lost their balance and slipped on it. Only then did they have the leisure to look back.
The Armored Titaness has been sent.
In the end, well... the raw materials are insufficient, and this advanced flesh and blood spell is still too strenuous to perform. Ms. Yusilian refreshed the fashionable value for who knows what three seconds, and then the huge body began to shrink, like a flower withering and collapsing.
She won’t be crushed to death, right?
Xia Yibing was terrified, but fortunately... soon a swift black shadow flew out from the wreckage. She cleverly took advantage of the wind and snow to fly high enough to avoid the ice crystal storm below, and then she struggled, almost using all her strength to squeeze over here.
Hitzfeld hurried over to catch her. She held the blood crystal crow in her arms and complained, "I need to sleep for a while to regain my energy."... The crow then turned into a headband again, wrapped around her hair and tied it tightly.
It's safe for now.
The ground was still shaking, but standing on the ice of the lake, all the disasters had nothing to do with them.
Hitzfeld couldn't help but feel that the ancient legend that the Ice Lake People lived by the lake made sense. With such damn living conditions, wouldn't the Ice Lake be the patron saint?
The icy lake provides them with food and protects them when disaster strikes.
It is no wonder that the locals have formed traditional beliefs, as Xiyang's teachings simply cannot be spread here.
We huddled together like this and waited for about ten minutes before the vibrations nearby gradually subsided.
This does require a process - just like a bumpy ship pressing on the waves, always pressing down due to weight and rising due to buoyancy. These two situations will alternate for a while until most of the ice caves are completely filled with frozen sea water and the ice sheet will return to peace.
I guess the topography of many road sections has changed drastically again?
Hitzfeld was also a little worried about others.
Whether it is Kurum and others who were left behind to wait for rescue, or Xintara and others who were cut and separated, can they escape safely from this terrible disaster?
Such a violent tremor would definitely affect more than just the ice sheet. There would definitely be an avalanche on the mountain, and would the dark forest below the mountain be swallowed up by the snow?
Are the residents of Ice Lake Town all right?
She was not sure whether a collapse of this magnitude was "routine" or "once in many years". Sintara was unable to break down his experience and tell them about it. She began to worry whether the Arctic plate would one day be torn apart by such a disaster.
If that day really comes, the heavier ice sheets will surely drag the entire land and turn it over in the water, which will be a real disaster for Binghu Town... She estimated that if a hundred people could escape by then, they would be lucky.
After waiting for a while, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
"Aisun."
Xia Yibing came over and grabbed Hitzfeld, pulling her left hand, revealing a small part of her white wrist.
There was a small wound there, a puncture wound, no flesh was lost, and the blood had completely coagulated at the wound. It didn't look scary at all, just a mottled blood spot.
Hitzfeld was about to say it was okay when he saw the woman lower her head and put the wound into her mouth.
Warm and moist.
She could even feel a soft little tongue swirling around her wrist.
Xia Yibing didn't care what she was thinking. She had no choice but to do this to prevent her tongue from sticking to something. Then she quickly pulled out a roll of medical bandage that had been warmed by her body temperature and wrapped it around the girl's wrist.
Hitzfeld blinked.
"I won't say thank you?"
"of course."
The woman looked up and raised her eyebrows seriously.
The extremely polite Earl Xieyang, if there is anyone who can make her not do this, then there is no doubt that person must have entered her heart.
"I didn't know you had this skill?"
Heidi came closer.
"What was that just now?"
"The evil magic of Aishazhou?"
"We'll talk about this later..."
Hitzfeld tried to evade the question.
The snow stopped and the aurora began to appear in the sky.
She tried it and it was the real aurora. The beautiful halo of light illuminated the night sky and the ice surface. Looking north along the light, the vast ice lake stretched as far as the eye could see.
Robo and his team should still be ahead of us, which means they are most likely on the lake, so they should be safe.
Thinking in her mind, the girl suggested that the team speed up.
Whatever lies deep in the Depp-Valtina glacial lake, they are here.
Secrets under the aurora, a curse frozen in time.
And with that mysterious sixth sense, she wants to see through it all.
Her speculation was indeed correct.
On the surface of the deeper icy lake, Vera poked her head out of the tent.
The terrible storm finally passed.
It was so rare... Cursing that the snowstorm over the ice lake actually stopped for a moment. He couldn't help but stand up and look up at the aurora above his head, marveling at its beauty, marveling at the beauty of the aurora, the ice lake, and the whole world complementing each other in this quiet moment.
Mr. Dimo, who teaches Sara language, always tells them that danger and beauty always coexist in nature, and only after experiencing the most extreme storm can you see the most beautiful rainbow.
Vera felt that she finally understood the meaning of these words.
That's it.
Just to see this scenery, the trip to the Arctic is worthwhile.
"Wow!"
Following closely behind were Grande and Nette. They came out of the tent one after the other, ran and cheered in the windless environment, and rushed out for a while, floating and gliding on the ice surface by inertia. They were as happy as two people from Nanxinze who saw snow for the first time.
“What a sight!”
Grande gathered some snow and made a snowball. He threw it at Nette and laughed towards Vera.
"Come on, idiot!"
"Let's attack her together!"
But I'm not as naive as you.
Vera hugged her chest, and the next moment she was hit on the head by a snowball thrown by Grande.
He angrily joined the battlefield and directly defected to the girls' camp.
The zipper of the tent was opened, and several backpacks were piled up in front of him on the Robo carpet.
There was a notebook spread out on the backpack. If Hitzfeld and the others were here, they would immediately recognize that this notebook was exactly the same as the one they had dissected from the Iceman's stomach.
They are just a group of kids after all...
Robo looked outside, listening to the noise coming from there, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
But his brows were tightly furrowed.
His eyes fell on the notebook, staring at the text written in the middle.
[Memory is not just memory.]
[When the various memories are pieced together, when all the cognitions are gathered together, the dead personality will be reborn.]
[This is a miracle that can only happen in that environment, and we must seize it.]
[…Use this to rescue Esther.]
[Relieve her from endless suffering.]
Chapter 44: The Three-Faced Man (Two in One)
"It's time to leave."
After letting the three children play with each other for a while, Robbo came out to remind them.
"Now you should have figured out where we are going. Compared to the distance we have traveled all the way, it is not that far now. I will give you one last chance. You will choose - to come with me or to stay here."
"If we stay, will you give us the tent?" Nette blinked and asked very directly.
"Yes." Robbo nodded, "Because I don't need it anymore."
"Not only the tents, I can give you all the backpacks and supplies. You can stay here and wait for rescue."
What on earth does he want to do?
The three people felt a little creepy after hearing these words... Without these things, even if he successfully achieved his intended goal, how would he get back?
"Of course I want to go with the professor!" Vera said firmly.
He has a special feeling for Esther, which means that one day in the future, his relationship with Robo will change profoundly. Of course, he can't just watch Robo go to his death, otherwise how will he explain to Esther if he meets her again? He has no face to face her!
Rob stared at him seriously: "What if I don't agree with you and Esther being together?"
The boy's face turned pale. He kept repeating in his mind that this was a test, and continued to emphasize: "Then I will follow you too! You are our teacher and professor! I will not let you die!"
"Me...me too!" Grande was a little tongue-tied, so he could only stand firmly on the same side as his friend, while winking at Nette frantically, "I believe Watson thinks the same way!"
Nette glared at him and silently swallowed her rebuttal.
It takes courage to say no, especially when everyone else in the team holds a different opinion. Her character is still a little soft, and even though she always feels that something is not right, she still can't say no.
"Then pack your things quickly." Robbo made way for them. "There is no wind now. I'll give you five minutes to pack your things."
The elder's authority was still there, and the three did not dare to disobey him. They quickly packed their backpacks and folded up the tent, and followed him as they accelerated towards the center of the lake.
Speaking of which, they are indeed on a path of exploring legends or even myths, right?
