Solo took a half step back in shock and looked around.
"Who on earth is it... come out!"
He didn't notice that the right half of his face was wide-eyed, filled with panic and shock.
Robb recognized the voice that rang out.
It was this thing that asked Robo questions when he was about to give up, and it was this mysterious thing that gave him Solo's memories, which to some extent helped him realize his dream.
[I'm not giving you a favor so that you can do this kind of thing in front of me.]
The sound echoed around again.
[Your existence blasphemes me.]
[Now, I am taking back that gift.]
“Wait—Uwaa ...
Before he could argue, the aurora burst out from the ice again.
Compared with the previous ones, this ray of light was so brilliant that it directly broke through the ice walls and hit the ceiling of the ice palace hard, causing countless refractions and condensing into a beam that flew into the night sky.
Robo's body screamed in the light. The left half of his face, which belonged to Solo, froze in the light and then suddenly shattered into ice chips.
what is that?
Hitzfeld and his group, who were moving forward, saw the beam of light rising into the sky.
They ran straight to that location.
It’s not too late to pray in your heart.
Chapter 50: Heir to the Wheel of Time (Two in One)
The aurora shines into the dark sky like an experienced fisherman casting a net into the sea.
The beam of light spread out in the night sky like a fishing net, expanding from a vertical line into a floating band of light, with the color changing from green to blue and then from blue to purple, gradually disappearing and merging with the pitch-black night.
People on the road dare not look at such a beautiful and dazzling scene.
Except for Hitzfeld who dared to stare at the light curtain with his left eye, everyone else, whether it was Xia Yibing or Heidi, stared at the ice beneath their feet, restraining the desire to look up.
It was obvious that this aurora was not normal.
In all likelihood, it was the cursed aurora. Of course, they couldn't look at it. If they did, there would be a risk of having their inner memories copied.
And they had to prevent other people from seeing - Heidi also covered Esther's eyes, and Xia Yibing checked from time to time that Griman, who was lying on the sled, did not look up.
Even though this guy had been tied up and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, she had to be fully prepared, but she was unsure what might happen.
Gradually, they saw shadows ahead.
A huge ice crystal palace.
What's happening here?
How could there be such a palace in the center of the lake?
At first, Hitzfeld guessed that it was the manifestation of someone's memory.
It is very likely that such a palace exists in someone's memory, and he/she is so obsessed with this palace that he/she still misses it until the last moment of his/her death/becoming another life, and then due to some coincidences, the palace was condensed out of ice and snow.
These thoughts were all subconscious... they came to her mind before she could react. Hitzfeld began to feel a little absurd. After all, Bingxue was not a skilled craftsman. How could he carve out such an exquisite building out of thin air?
But she soon realized something was wrong.
I thought of it subconsciously. Why did I subconsciously think in this direction?
It's like something was instilled in me...
Is it the Aurora?
Aurora couldn't copy the memories in my brain through the gaze of the divine eye, so it turned to instilling them in me? Instilling the answers to the questions directly into me?
This thing is a bit too weird.
Hitzfeld first lowered her head to avoid looking into Aurora's eyes, but soon she raised her head firmly again.
——She was very sure that the aurora could not take anything away from her. If they still didn't dare to contact it, how could they solve the mystery of the ice lake?
The source of the aurora is that palace. When you enter the palace, you will always be in contact with the source.
The light from the source must be stronger and more dazzling than the refracted light, and the mysterious and unknown power contained in it is also stronger.
If they couldn't even handle this level of difficulty, she felt that there was no need for them to handle the case now.
...rushing quickly to the palace entrance, Hitzfeld was temporarily distracted and looked at the human ice sculptures beside him in the light of the aurora.
Her eyelids twitched slightly because she actually saw one of the ice sculptures holding a child.
How could anyone bring a child to this damn place?
Before I had time to think too much, my body had already stepped into the palace.
At this moment, she ran faster than Lily. She was basically the first to run in the front and see the "Ice Crystal Honeycomb".
What a magnificent and gorgeous scenery...
Blue-green gradient light shot up into the sky from under the ice surface. Above them, endless ice crystal walls formed honeycomb-like ice crystal cabins. These ice walls not only blocked their way forward, but Hitzfeld also discovered that they themselves possessed some kind of "rubbing" power.
By the time she realized this, it was too late. She braked suddenly in front of the "Ice Crystal Honeycomb" and slid for a long distance. Then she saw her figure reflected on all the clear cut surfaces of the ice wall in front of her.
Like a mirror.
She broke into a world formed by ice crystal mirrors.
"Snapped!"
There were countless crisp sounds of ice crystals breaking, and the "Hitzfeld" in the mirrors broke out of the ice one after another, just like real ice men... those below ran towards her, those above fell towards her, and each of them opened their arms to hug her. The momentum looked extremely terrifying.
Hitzfeld's face was grim. She had no time for these poor imitations.
The dead bone ice needles cut through the air, and perhaps because of her accumulated anger, they burst out at a speed several times faster than usual. After the long shuttle of ice needles flew past, a sharp whistling sound was heard from afar, and it pierced through the heads of all the ice men at lightning speed.
"Boom!"
One by one, the ice men's heads exploded and their bodies turned into ice powder.
But this is not the end but the beginning, because the "ice crystal honeycomb" is too large and too thick. The ice wall that Hitzfeld shattered is only the outermost one. As she continues to go deeper inside, she will encounter the same situation.
"Clap!"
Another series of ice walls shattered, and once again, countless ice men that looked similar to her pounced on her.
The dead bone ice needle shuttled through the crowd and shot all the imitations to pieces. She continued to advance at a steady pace and finally saw someone leaning against the ice wall in front of her.
Use the momentum to kick forward.
The kick was powerful enough for Hitzfeld, but the ice wall didn't move at all.
"I come!"
A flash of knife light flashed from behind.
The Changxia knife stabbed into the vertical ice surface fiercely, and stopped at the handle. The next moment, the woman twisted the handle hard, and a large circle of cracks spread rapidly from the insertion point to the surroundings, and suddenly a large piece of the ice wall shattered.
"It's them!"
Xia Yibing shouted, he saw Vera, Grande and Nette slowly sliding down as the ice wall shattered.
There seemed to be someone lying in front.
who is it?
Looks like Robbo?
A few seconds later, Heidi, Esther and Lily also pulled the sled through the ice dust and saw the same scene as them.
"Nette!"
Esther recognized the fallen person at a glance. She quickly rushed to her three friends to check on their condition. When she looked up, she saw the man lying on the ice in front of her.
"Robo!?"
She called out tentatively, and ran over to try to turn the man over.
"Ace touched him especially..."
Vera barely managed to call her.
But it's too late.
Esther had already turned Rob over. She let out a sharp scream, threw the man aside, and crawled backwards using her hands and feet.
Hitzfeld took a quick look over there and saw that Robb had a horrible wound on his face.
From the forehead to the philtrum, a large piece of flesh was dug out, even the nose.
It’s hard to imagine how painful this is, especially since it exposes the fragile airway.
Rob should be aware of the consequences of doing this in the Arctic, in such an ultra-low temperature environment.
He wants to commit suicide?
His mind is really not normal anymore...
"Tell me." Xia Yibing approached the three students who were lucky enough to survive and not turn into monsters, and looked around at them, "What happened here just now?"
Vera and the other two were in very bad condition at the moment and were unable to answer the questions at all.
The woman walked to the center of the palace and stared at her feet.
The aurora had retreated at some point.
Look at the ice walls ahead that have not been broken yet? Ice crystal honeycombs?
Including the ice man bred inside, all of this disappeared silently.
Just like melting or breaking into ice powder, they retreated along with the aurora and melted into the curtain of light.
This place is weird...
Xia Yibing frowned.
In theory, when encountering such an unknown and strange area, one should drag the person outside before considering rescue.
But listen to what's happening outside.
As soon as they entered, a blizzard suddenly descended. The shrill whistling could be clearly heard even in such a deep place. If they didn't want these children to freeze to death, they had better treat their injuries first.
He pulled a medical bandage out of his backpack and handed it to Heidi, who nodded and squatted down to rip open Vera's pants.
By the way, she also checked the others and found that the only serious injuries were Vera's leg and Rob's nose. The other two, Grande and Nate, had no external injuries.
But their spirits seemed to have been severely damaged.
She plugged Robo's exposed nostrils with two balls of cotton and covered them with a bandage. While hoping that this crude explosion could save him, Heidi wondered what had happened to these people in the palace.
The worst case scenario is that they received a large amount of memories belonging to other lives in the aurora.
In other words, their memories are contaminated. Referring to the Arctic wolf pack, they are likely to begin to mutate their flesh and blood in the next few hours.
"No……"
Maybe it was because Heidi and Xia Yibing's eyes were too sharp, and among the three, Vera struggled to defend herself.
"We are not... not contaminated..."
"We were just a little bit... just a little bit away from being contaminated..."
"But it didn't..."
"Someone saved us..."
"I guess it saved Robbo too."
anyone?
save?
They could understand the words he said, but they didn't understand what they meant when put together.
Looking around, there was nothing but an empty hall.
save?
