While Wu Xie was stuffing sanitary napkins into the soles of his shoes, he asked Zhang Haixing in a low voice, "You didn't explain clearly just now, why can't we walk along the lakeshore?"
"And you said something terrible would happen here after the sun goes down. What is it? How did you know? Zhang Haike never mentioned this to me before setting off."
Zhang Haixing said with a cold face, "Wenbu Gongga Lake is a holy lake in the eyes of the Kangbalu people, but after a long period of research, we, the Zhang family, discovered that this is a demonic lake that eats people."
The fat man didn't quite believe her words, so he interjected: "What is the devil lake? There are two strange fishes and it is called the devil lake? What Bai Ci, a Kangbalo person, doesn't know, but you, the Zhang family, know very well? It can't be so.
You're just talking nonsense."
Zhang Haixing sneered and raised his chin towards Zhang Zhuxun, "You should ask him to see if what he said is the same as what I said."
The fat man didn't believe her, so he moved two steps closer to Zhang Zhuxun, who was surrounded by low pressure, and said hello in a low voice, "Hey, buddy, you heard what the old woman said, right? Is what she said true?
Are you trying to bluff us?"
"Kangbalo people will not cross the lake after the sun sets." Zhang Zhu said.
The fat man's eyes were confused, "Ouch?"
Seeing his confused look, Zhang Zhuxun paused and added: "But I heard the elders in the tribe mentioned it before, saying that every night, fog would form on the entire ice surface of the holy lake and around the lakeshore.
, covering the entire area like a white cloth falling from the sky. Once someone tries to get close to the lake, they will hear miserable screams coming from the mist, like ghosts and resentments, but when the sun rises the next morning
When it rises, the fog disappears very suddenly."
"Didn't anyone try to walk in and take a look at it at that time?" Wu Xie asked.
"Yes." Zhang Zhuxun suddenly smiled strangely and lowered his voice, "But none of them came out alive."
Wu Xie was shocked by his sudden change of tone. He always felt that there was some profound meaning in his words. He turned around and saw the panic on everyone's faces, so he tried to explain this with scientific basis.
A phenomenon.
"Surrounded by mountains, there is no wind to dissipate the water vapor evaporated by the sun into the air during the day. At night, the temperature drops sharply, and the temperature in the air is lower than under the ice. The water vapor will condense into large amounts of
Tiny ice crystals, so this kind of fog is also called ice crystal fog."
Zhang Haixing nodded and agreed with his statement, "We have also considered this situation, but what about those people who disappeared in the fog? What about the screams."
The fat man stood up and brushed off the broken snow on his pants, and sighed, "Isn't it easier to explain this thing? It's such a heavy fog that you can't see your fingers, and people are walking around in the dark in the dark. If they disappear, they must have fallen into the lake.
Go ahead, if you are not stupid after falling in, you will definitely have to shout for help, and then you will probably be eaten by the big strange fish that came out after hearing the noise."
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat convinced by his reasonable reasons.
"Stop talking nonsense, the most important thing is to hurry up and hurry up." Zhang Haixing urged, "If we don't want something to happen tonight, we must either go through the canyon in front, or we can only exit the mass burial ice..."
Before she finished speaking, her voice suddenly disappeared. When Wu Xie and others looked at her in confusion, they found that she was looking behind them in astonishment at the place where they had walked when they came.
Zhang Haixing exclaimed: "Why is the entrance to the cave missing?"
Wu Xie and others were shocked, and quickly turned around to look, only to see that the hole that had been blasted suddenly turned into a solid ice wall, and everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Damn it, what happened to this special girl? Where is the road? Where is the big gap we came out of when we came here?"
The fat man rubbed his eyes, frowned and stared, only to find that it was not his eyes that were dazzled, but that the hole that had been blasted by the Germans had really disappeared!
The original gap is now completely integrated with the frozen mountain wall, and there is no trace of any previous cracks.
But the broken ice and frozen stones on the ground were still there, which meant that the ice wall filling the gap suddenly appeared here, as if plants were growing silently, and no one present noticed anything unusual.
Zhang Haixing quickly ran to the ice wall and knocked on it, trying to find traces of the existence of the mechanism. After a while with no results, he immediately returned to Zhang Zhu and the others and said calmly: "Although I don't know what is going on, I am very sure.
This should not be some mechanism, but some force beyond natural understanding that prevents us from retreating, which means that we have no way out."
The fat man was very puzzled, "Why is there no way out? Why don't we just blow it up? It's impossible for the passage inside to become solid."
Zhang Haixing did not answer his words, turned around, picked up the equipment, raised his chin at Zhang Zhuxun, "There is no time, let's go quickly." After saying that, he stepped onto the ice first.
"Put away the long guns and replace them with pistols." Zhang Zhuxun whispered to Wu Xie and the two men behind him.
Rifles are far less convenient than pistols in close combat. Pistols have better short-range killing effects, are more flexible, and can be operated with one hand in crisis situations.
And with the physique of that thing in the water, if it grows some scales or something, it will be enough to withstand bullets. Holding a pistol is to embolden you, and secondly, just in case, so that it can be easily used in the animal's mouth and when attacked.
The shooting can be completed in a small space between the ice sheets, and it can take a while.
Zhang Zhuxun stuffed Feng's mouth with rolled gauze in advance, warned him not to scream later, and then grabbed him to follow Zhang Haixing in front.
The fat man looked at their backs and was shocked by his own thoughts. He muttered, "It won't really become solid..."
"Let's go, time waits for no one." Wu Xie patted the fat man on the shoulder.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two took off the guns hanging on their chests, folded them and put them in their backpacks, and replaced them with pistols and put them on their waists.
A group of people lined up and walked onto the ice cap quietly.
Zhang Haixing walked at the front. Every time she took a step, she looked carefully around the bottom of the ice board to confirm that there were no black shadows before continuing to move forward.
Zhang Zhuxun dragged Feng to the second position, almost following the footsteps of Zhang Haixing.
We walked almost without any danger to the center of the lake. The ice here was relatively thin and could not bear the weight of five people at once.
After the ice surface under his feet made a crunching sound, Zhang Haixing had no choice but to choose to go around and bypass the unfrozen water in the center of the lake from the left.
Zhang Haixing turned around and gestured to the people behind him to express his thoughts, and no one had any objections.
The next section of ice was very difficult to walk on. The ice near the center of the lake was very weak. If you step on it for a moment, you will see white cracks on the ice spreading rapidly from under your feet.
Zhang Haixing was angry and depressed. There was not much time left for them. She didn't want to take a long detour. In order to rush for time, she could only move forward tentatively step by step.
Just like this, each step made a crisp sound, as if stepping on a thin biscuit. Although the sound was slight, it was like a countdown to death in such a silent environment. No one even dared to breathe loudly.
Just when they thought everything was going well and they could finally enter the canyon ahead before dark, something unexpected happened——
Zhang Haixing, who had been walking in front, didn't know what he saw. Suddenly he shouted excitedly and ran forward.
Zhang Haixun, who was following behind, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, but she shook her arm hard and broke away. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Haixing had already ran ten meters away.
Zhang Zhuxun felt something bad, and immediately turned around to remind Wu Xie and the two people behind him to pay attention, but they saw that the two people had begun to look in a trance. Neither of them realized that Zhang Zhuxun had stopped due to an unexpected situation.
Still moving forward.
Zhang Zhuxun quickly let go of Feng's hand and turned around to grab the two of them. As a result, in this wasted time, Feng suddenly turned pale and exclaimed in German, "It's on fire, it's on fire!" After shouting, he rushed forward.
He ran away in the direction of Zhang Haixing.
Zhang Zhuxun's two hands were holding people respectively, and he had no time to care about others. From the moment he saw the expressions of Wu Xie and Wu Xie, he had already realized that they were in an illusion, which was the same as when he first entered the snow mountain.
Like the Germans traveling with me, fleeing was an instinctive reaction under the influence of the illusion.
But fortunately, Wu Xie and the others still had their own subjective consciousness. When they heard Feng's shouting, they thought it was noise and frowned. They did not lose control and ran out like Zhang Haixing and Feng.
The Maponim in the lake had been disturbed by the noise of the mountain explosion not long ago. The slightest commotion on the ice cap would immediately arouse their vigilance. Seeing that a black shadow was gradually swimming up and chasing Zhang Haixing and the two of them.
, Zhang Zhuxun immediately took Wu Xie and Fatty and ran straight to the nearest lake shore.
At this time, there was no need to worry about the strange fish in the lake. Of course, the most important thing was to escape.
But before they could run very far, the ice beneath the feet of Zhang Zhuxun and the others shook violently, and the ice cracked. At the last moment, Zhang Zhuxun led Wu Xie and the others to jump forward, narrowly avoiding the attack.
A huge animal head bitten up.
Fortunately, due to this hasty jump, the three of them lost their balance and fell into a ball. The pain of hitting the solid ice accidentally woke up Wu Xie and Fatty who were half in a dream.
The moment the two of them woke up, they saw a wide and long red dorsal fin stuck on the ice in front of them, and a huge animal head lying across the ice, looking like a fish but not a fish, with a forehead that looked like a fish.
It has a bronze head that looks like a dragon's horns, and its eyes as big as lanterns are like cold pearls from the underworld, emitting a shimmering light that is breathtaking.
This fish beast was much smaller than the black shadow that patrolled the shore before. Because it was eager to break through the ice, it got its dorsal fin and head stuck in the ice hole. Its long tail immersed in the water was like a python.
It is covered with scales and is several times thicker than a python's tail. It constantly beats the ice from bottom to top in an attempt to escape.
The impact force of this tail could be measured in several tons, and the originally thick and hard ice soon became unable to support it and cracks appeared.
The biting cold air that surged up made Zhang Zhuxun and the others shiver. Although they escaped the fatal blow, the overwhelming water spray still drenched their bodies.
More black shadows slowly gathered under the ice, and the Mabonim in front of him was about to break through the ice. Zhang Zhuxun gritted his teeth and climbed up, grabbing one with one hand and dragging it to the shore.
"Run!"
Boom——
Another huge wave swept over, sounding like thunder. Large chunks of ice beneath the feet of Zhang Zhuxun and the others began to break. The thick ice floes were shaking violently with the water waves and could be overturned at any time. It was impossible for anyone to stand on it.
I couldn't even stand firmly, let alone run. As soon as I lifted my feet, I fell into the cracks in the broken ice.
As soon as Zhang Zhuxun fished Wu Xie out of the ice crevice, a loud roar like a thunderous roar suddenly rang in the ears of the three of them. Their eardrums buzzed and trembled, as if a loaded truck was speeding over and hit them hard.
on their backs.
Wu Xie's eyes suddenly felt dizzy and black, and his muscles all over his body were paralyzed and stiff. He couldn't control himself and fell over. His heart was shaking wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his chest in the next second.
The ice collapsed, and Wu Xie watched helplessly as the three of them were knocked apart and fell into the ice cave. The biting extreme cold instantly enveloped his whole body. He tried hard to move his limbs, but his whole body seemed to be tied up with ropes.
Generally numb, stiff and unable to move.
"Innocent!"
Countless black and white spots flashed in front of his eyes. When his forehead fell, he didn't know where he hit it. The pain was excruciating. He vaguely heard someone calling him.
Wu Xie held his breath and tried his best to move his hands to float up, but the cotton clothes on his body were as heavy as lead after being soaked in water, and he kept sinking.
He felt someone paddling towards him, put a hand on his face and groped for a moment, then immediately hugged him around the waist and lifted him out of the water.
Just as he was about to open his eyes, a stream of fishy-sweet liquid splashed onto his face, and the blood mist instantly blurred his eyes.
But this smell was very familiar to him, it was blood!
Who is injured?
An endless panic surged in his heart for no reason. Before he could think about it, Wu Xie felt someone pushing him with great force and pushing him onto the ice floe.
Wooden fish? It must be wooden fish.
The wooden fish is injured!
"Run forward! Quick!"
Zhang Zhuoxun gave him a shove and immediately turned around and swam towards the fat man who fell into the ice lake for the second time and was sandwiched between two large ice slabs.
As soon as the fat man was washed down the ice by the water column, he used his crisis instinct to pounce forward and avoided the second impact. His body was also pushed far away by the residual power of the water wave, and he, Wu Xie, and Zhang Zhuxun were separated.
Come on.
Although his internal organs were hurt by the loud roar, the fat man gritted his teeth and opened his stinging eyes. In the blurred blood light, he saw the hideous beast's head opening its bloody mouth, sharp and
The fangs bit directly at him.
The fat man suddenly came to his senses. He held his breath and jerked his body downwards, falling three to four meters. The sound of the sharp teeth above his head chopping the ice made him tremble.
He hurriedly dived deeper before the Maponim found him. After bypassing the area where the Maponim was, he immediately swung his limbs wildly and swam toward the ice in the distance.
