Spiritual world.
The cold wind is biting, the endless forest is covered with white snowflakes, and the earth seems to be covered with a thick quilt.
The cloudy sky continued to produce goose-feather heavy snow, which fell one after another, making the entire sky look hazy.
"call……"
"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."
A gust of wind blew, and the surrounding bare trees were swayed from side to side, making a scalp-numbing sound.
Looking at these violently swaying trees, it seems that in the next second these swaying trees will be unable to withstand the strong wind and be broken at the waist.
"What are you looking at?" An investigator wearing a thick winter coat slowly came to his companion and asked.
"I feel like that big tree will be broken by the wind soon." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses raised his hand and pointed to a tall tree in the distance with a diameter of more than one meter and said.
The investigator, who was wearing a thick winter coat, turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by his companion's finger. He saw a large and dangerously swaying tree in the distance.
If we can't return before dark, we will have to spend the night outside. If we don't bring some supplies with us, we will be hungry at night..."
The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses laughed heartily and said proudly, "Look! I said this big tree will break..."
"Fortunately, I don't feel cold at the moment." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said with a smile, and then he asked the investigator in a thick winter coat curiously.
The investigator wearing a thick winter coat nodded, then recalled what he had learned from a friend before, and spoke.
"Huh?" The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses was very surprised when he heard this, because he had never encountered such a situation before when he went out to perform similar tasks several times.
After feeling the temperature of the stream, the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses showed a very surprised expression on his face, and his eyes followed the stream upstream.
Therefore, it was very easy to go downhill, and we arrived at the creek without any effort.
Under the cloudy sky, below where the two investigators were, was a stream that was about to freeze.
The spiritual weapon that absorbed the spiritual energy and was activated trembled, emitting invisible energy fluctuations all around.
The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses heard what his companion said and knew that he was on a mission. So he was bored and said happily, "Did our superiors give us any mission?"
"Don't worry, as soon as there is any abnormal situation, I will retreat immediately." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said.
He took off his gloves and reached out to touch the stream.
"I heard before that there was a meeting at the base camp to investigate the large collapsed pit where strange beasts kept coming out. Is this news true?"
"You wait here, I'll go down and see what's going on in that creek." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses thought for a moment and said to his companions.
The two investigators moved forward, climbed over several hills, and arrived at their destination.
If an ordinary person were to move in such snow, they might not be able to walk far in half an hour.
"Okay, don't waste time here anymore, come with me." said the investigator wearing a thick winter coat.
The two investigators quickly returned to the stronghold. Their current location was very close to the stronghold, so it took them four or five minutes to return to the stronghold.
"There are a lot of problematic places in the spirit world! The weather is so bad now. There is no need to go to places that are too far away. Is the location we are going to this time not very far from the stronghold?" said the man wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The investigator said.
"What do you mean, should we go to the front and see what's going on?" The investigator, who was wearing a thick winter coat, thought about it for a while, but without making up his mind, he asked his companion.
Upon hearing this, the investigator wearing a thick winter coat immediately took off his gloves and put his hand into the stream.
"It's actually warm water?"
"Okay." The investigator wearing thick winter clothes also felt that it was necessary to use a spiritual weapon in another place for investigation.
"How is the situation? Did you find anything unusual?"
Then one person stayed on the hillside and walked down the hillside alone.
"Yes, the place we are going to this time is about ten kilometers away from the stronghold, just over a few mountains." said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"They said they found a problematic area and asked us to go investigate." said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"That's true of you. Before the cold wave came to the forest, our people had already checked the surrounding situation and found no hot springs." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said.
"This stream flows continuously. How big a hot spring is needed to supply such a flow of water?" said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"Someone led a team to provide support before, and now they have to go to the big pit to explore. There will be fewer people staying in that stronghold at that time. They should send more people to support in the future." Wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The investigator said.
And now it’s snowing day by day. If I want to start exploring, I must find a time with good weather.”
Every time you take a step, a snow pit will appear on the ground.
Then the two investigators stepped forward. Because there was a lot of snow here, it was a little difficult for the two people to walk in the snow.
"Be careful on the road. If you find anything strange, you must ensure your own safety and conduct an investigation." Before leaving the stronghold, the person in charge of the stronghold seriously warned the two investigators.
"Yes, you will know after you try it," said the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"There is such a thing, but the specific implementation time has not been determined yet."
The investigator walking in front, wearing a thick winter coat, took out a spiritual weapon from his backpack, mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to concentrate on his fingertips, injected it into the spiritual weapon, activated it, and then began to explore the surrounding area.
"There's nothing to do! It's boring, but it's something to kill time..." the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said with a smile.
"Is the stream water warm?" said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"This place is not a place that ordinary people can come... By the way, you are wearing a little less, don't you feel cold?" The investigator wearing a thick winter coat said while looking at his companion who was wearing thinner clothes than him.
As far as the eye can see, there are trees covered with ice crystals. If the clouds disperse at this time and the sun comes out, the golden sunlight will shine on the ice crystals on these trees, which will definitely shine brilliantly.
"What's going on?" asked the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
It took a few minutes to reach the edge of the downhill slope. The two investigators looked down, with surprised expressions on their faces.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a click, and the violently shaking tree broke.
"..." The investigator wearing thick winter clothes had just judged that the big tree would not be broken by the wind a second ago, but this happened the next second, and he was speechless for a moment.
The investigator wearing a thick winter coat said to his companion while walking towards the stronghold.
"How about we go over there?" The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses raised his finger in one direction.
"Buzz..."
"How are you doing? Did you find anything?" The investigator wearing thick winter clothes standing on the hillside shouted loudly to the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses standing by the stream.
"Yes." The two investigators nodded, and then left the stronghold carrying backpacks containing supplies.
The investigator wearing a thick winter coat raised his head, looked at his companions, and replied, "According to the feedback from the spiritual weapon, no abnormalities have been found so far."
The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses thought for a few seconds and then said, "It's quite dangerous to explore that bottomless pit...
You know, the current surrounding environment is more than 30 degrees below zero. It is really strange that this creek has not been completely frozen in such bad weather.
"What do you want to get?" the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses asked.
After two or three minutes, the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses standing by asked his companion.
There was thick snow on the hillside. When the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses went down the slope, he slid down.
"There may be a hot spring upstream." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said his inner guess.
Being hungry for one or two meals is not a big problem for investigators, but if you can afford not to be hungry, why suffer that pain?
"That's pretty close. Let's go! It's been boring to stay here on duty. Now you finally have something to do?" the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said excitedly.
"The weather is really bad. If you walk in the forest on a windy and snowy day like this, you will quickly lose your way and freeze to death in the snow," said the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
After the dozens of meters long tree trunk was broken, it immediately fell to the side and hit the snow heavily, causing snowflakes to cover a large area.
The investigator wearing a thick winter coat quickly adjusted his attitude and shrugged.
The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses listened to what his companion said and nodded immediately. During these days of traveling in the spirit world, although he had never encountered such things as his companion said, others were out on missions.
It has happened sometimes.
"What's so interesting about a broken tree? You stand here and stare at it for a long time. It's really boring."
Then he also came down the hillside and walked to the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"Yes, as far as I know, the reason why we decided to go to the big pit to investigate but didn't start immediately was because of the weather." said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"The spiritual weapon fed back a message. The density of spiritual energy ahead is very high." said the investigator wearing thick winter clothes.
"It's okay! I feel that although the big tree is shaking violently, it is unlikely that it will be broken by the wind."
The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses who was looking upstream of the creek immediately turned his head when he heard his companion's shout, "The water in this creek is warm."
"Go back and get some supplies! Although the place we are going to is not far from the stronghold, if we don't have enough supplies, something might happen on the way and delay us.
"Shall we go inside?" said the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The expected cold feeling did not exist, but instead was very comfortable and warm.
Although the weather is now gloomy and the wind and snow have not stopped for a moment, for the two investigators, although the weather is harsh, it is not unbearable.
At this time, the detective spirit weapon held by the investigator wearing thick winter clothes trembled violently. Both investigators noticed this and quickly looked at the spiritual weapon.
Now we find that there are some situations ahead. If we don't take a look, wouldn't it be in vain for us to come?" The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses made a decision quickly.
"Before we leave, let's go back and get something..." said the investigator wearing a thick winter coat.
"The water is really warm! No wonder there is heavy snow all around, but this creek is not frozen."
The creek is so long that you can't see the end at a glance. If you want to know what's going on at the source, you have to explore along the creek bank.
The investigator wearing thick winter clothes felt the temperature of the stream, shook off the water stains on his hands, and then put on gloves.
"Be careful," the investigator wearing thick winter clothes warned.
When the two investigators arrived at this place, the surrounding wind was obviously much lighter, but the snowflakes still fell from the sky non-stop.
The investigator wearing thick winter clothes looked around and found a downward slope in the distance. As for the details below, he could not see clearly due to the angle.
"Warm?" The investigator, who was wearing a thick winter coat, felt confused when he heard his companion's response.
"Go ahead, we came out this time to investigate the anomalies in this area.
They went to the logistics office to pick up some supplies, and then they set off to the destination to investigate.
"I don't know about this. If it unfolds like this, people will definitely be sent to support in the follow-up. It is impossible to send people out to explore the deep pit, and then the defense force of the stronghold will be vacant." said the investigator wearing a thick winter coat.
The trickling stream does not feel cold at all, and the water temperature is about 25 to 30 degrees.
"Okay, let's go over there and have a look."
"Uh..." The investigator wearing a thick winter coat hesitated for a moment, and then agreed with the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.
The two investigators walked upstream along the creek. The further upstream they went, the less affected the creek was by freezing.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two of them found that the wind around them was much lighter. Now the two of them were walking on the bank of the creek. The most obvious thing they felt was the snowflakes falling from the sky, but they didn't feel the wind at all.
How big.
The two investigators, who originally looked relatively relaxed, began to look a little serious when they noticed changes in the scene environment.
