When Chen Ran and the others poked their heads out from the cracks in the rocks to look out, they were stunned by what they saw. It was as if they had seen a ghost, or even more frightened than seeing a ghost. **pao
!*
This can't be blamed on them. In fact, what they saw was indeed more shocking than seeing a ghost. It can be said that even if they really saw a ghost at this moment, they would not be so shocked.
and shocked!
Guess what they saw?
Ice cave! This is actually a huge ice cave!
It can be said that this is a world of ice!
Mountains, trees, rocks... everything is made of ice.
The entire world of ice illuminates the entire ice cave, allowing people to see clearly what is going on inside the ice cave without using the light of a flashlight. The dome of the ice cave is like a lid on a pot, and the highest point is far away from where Chen Ran and the others are.
The location is nearly 100 meters away.
The ground inside the ice cave is undulating. Inside the hinterland of the ice cave, countless huge icicles stand towering. There are also many icicles hanging upside down from the dome, like swords pointing at the earth. They are more like icicles than icicles.
Mineral crystals have regular square, pentagonal, hexagonal and other shapes. The high ones are like spears reaching the dome, the low ones are like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, like flower buds blooming, and there are many pyramid-shaped ice.
At a glance, the sky and the earth meet from tip to tip, giving people an indescribably shocking momentum!
There are countless holes in the rock walls around the ice cave, which are cracks like the one where Chen Ran and the others stuck their heads out. However, there are very few as big as the cracks where Chen Ran and the others stuck their heads out. Most of them are.
It is a pit the size of a fist, like a hornet's nest, riddled with holes.
In this ice cave, the black light emerging from the cracks in the rocks formed a sharp contrast with the entire white world of the ice cave, which had a great impact on Chen Ran and the others' vision.
This was not the only thing that shocked Chen Ran and the others' vision.
If it were just the scene in front of them, although it would surprise Chen Ran and the other three, it would not frighten them. After all, the ice cave in front of them could only be regarded as a spectacle, and neither Xiaoyu nor Wu Bing were.
Ordinary people, not to mention Xiaoyu, Wu Bing is a soldier. Even if he has never seen such a spectacle, his ability to accept it is definitely better than ordinary people.
Not to mention Chen Ran.
What emerged from the crack in the stone was an ice cave. This was completely expected by Chen Ran. In Ding Dian's memory, there was such an ice cave here, and there was even another ice cave in this ice cave.
The name is called Ice Cave.
Wherever there are people, there are fights, especially when resources are scarce. Ding Dian and other hard workers dare not fight with the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion, but there are fights among the hard workers. The fights between these hard workers are like
It's as common as daily meals, and the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion generally turn a blind eye, because they still need hard workers to work. Therefore, even if these hard workers make mistakes, they will not be executed. The only punishment is
The method is to lock the erring person into an ice cave and starve him for a day or several days. In such a cold place, it can be said that even a strong man cannot withstand a few hours, even if he is trained on his body.
Traditional martial arts cannot last long without eating, drinking or replenishing energy. Therefore, in the eyes of hard workers like Ding Dian, the Ice Cave is a terrifying and demonic place.
The crack in the stone that Chen Ran, Xiaoyu and Wu Bing drilled just now was accidentally discovered by one of Ding Dian's brothers when he was imprisoned in the Ice Cave. The first time Ding Dian was imprisoned in the Ice Cave, it was because he was beaten to death.
Someone, the people above locked him in an ice cave, and even locked him up for a week. Although he was a master of internal affairs, he couldn't bear it without eating or drinking, and at that time he was about to bear it.
When he was not staying, his brother sneaked through the cracks in the rocks and brought him some dry food and hot water, which allowed him to overcome this difficulty. Later, after he went out, he was in the big bathhouse.
At that time, his brother proudly pointed to the stone crevice on the roof of the cave with him.
An ice cave emerged from the cracks in the rocks. This was what Chen Ran expected, but what he didn't expect was that the ice cave now was different from before.
The difference is that now there are thousands of corpses piled up in this ice cave, piled on the ice, hanging on icicles... There are corpses everywhere, as if they have been transformed into corpses.
Like the ocean, the whole scene is like an abyss leading to hell.
What frightened Chen Ran and the others was the mountains of corpses. If it weren't for the mountains of corpses, they might have been fascinated by the spectacular ice cave in front of them, but seeing the mountains of corpses at a glance was really terrifying.
It was hard for them to focus on the ice cave anymore. Their eyes were attracted by the ocean-like bones in front of them!
The three of them were stunned by the sight in front of them, and could not even speak for a while. It took a long time before Chen Ran came back to his senses first.
After Chen Ran came back to his senses, he immediately looked at Xiaoyu and Wu Bing who were standing on both sides of him. Wu Bing was still stunned, but Xiaoyu came back to his senses, but his face was a little pale.
Seeing Xiaoyu's frightened look, Chen Ran quickly reached out and held her hand.
Feeling that her hand was held by Chen Ran, Yan Ruyu glanced at Chen Ran and unconsciously squeezed Chen Ran's hand a little tighter, as if she felt safe in this way.
Before this, based on her experience, she had never been afraid even when she encountered those agencies and monsters in Ghost Bear Ridge. However, although the scene in front of her did not seem to be dangerous to them for the time being, seeing this
After this scene, she couldn't help but feel frightened.
You can't blame her. Anyone who sees this scene will be frightened. There are at least thousands of bones piled up here, and it can be seen that these bones are all human bones. This also means that
They used to be living people, but now they are just bones...
And based on the scale of these bones piled up, how many people must have died to have so many bones? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
"What happened here before? Why does it feel like I have returned to an ancient battlefield?" Wu Bing came back to his senses, wiped a cold sweat, and quickly retracted his head to look at Chen Ran.
Yan Ruyu also looked at Chen Ran. The two of them obviously wanted to find peace of mind from Chen Ran.
But Chen Ran couldn't give them a reasonable explanation, and he was even more surprised than them in this matter, because he was the only one present who knew that there were no bones in this place decades ago.
These bones were obviously found later.
He himself couldn't imagine what happened to this place. Why did so many people die here?
Who is the owner of these bones? How did he die here? Could it be that after Ding Dian died, the place where Prince Qi's treasure was hidden was leaked and attracted other large forces to attack this place? Just look at it.
It doesn't seem like the situation, and if it was such a large-scale operation, it should be recorded in the history books, so where did these bones come from?
Wu Bing looked at Chen Ran, and Yan Ruyu also looked at Chen Ran. Chen Ran remained silent, just thinking.
After standing there for a long time, Chen Ran finally looked at the two of them and spoke: "Let's not talk about this issue now. You have also seen that we have two choices next. One is to stop and go back, and the other is to continue moving forward. I will tell you in advance
Let’s make it clear first that if we continue to move forward, we are not sure whether we will encounter any danger or whether we can get out from here.”
Chen Ran was telling the truth. Although he knew about this crack, he couldn't say whether he could walk out of the ice cave. He only knew that the entrance and exit of the ice cave were not the same as those of the hard workers.
The places where they live are connected. He thought of this stone crack just now because he thought that if he wanted to get out of the place where the hard workers lived just now, he could go to the Ice Cave first. If he could get out from the entrance of the Ice Cave, then
That means leaving the cave where the hard workers lived.
But this is under the premise that you can get out of the ice cave, and where will you be after you get out of the ice cave? Can you get out from that place again? Chen Ran doesn't know.
Ding Dian has lived here for eight years, but Ding Dian is only familiar with the place just now. He may be familiar with other places, but he has no idea about the exits and entrances.
After Chen Ran said these words, Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, and her lack of expression was undoubtedly her biggest expression, indicating that she and Chen Ran were one, and she would do whatever Chen Ran did.
Chen Ran didn't let Yan Ruyu express it, because at this moment, they both had the same idea in their hearts. If they live together, they will live together, and if they die, they will die together.
"Brother Chen, I listen to you, just do whatever you say." Wu Bing simply passed the choice to Chen Ran without even thinking about it.
"Okay, let's move on." Chen Ran was not surprised by Wu Bing's answer, and if he was given a choice, he would naturally choose to move on.
He was not someone who gave up easily before, but after dying once, he was even less likely to give up easily.
Wu Bing and Yan Ruyu were also not surprised by Chen Ran's choice. After hearing Chen Ran's words, they both nodded.
Now that this was said, there was nothing more to say, and with the choice given by Chen Ran, it didn't seem so scary when they faced the mountain of bones in front of them again.
In fact, the reason why Chen Ran said that just now was to embolden them. It is extremely dangerous to fall down from this rock crevice. If you accidentally fall, you may be stabbed to death by an ice pick, so you must first let them overcome their fear of the corpses in front of them.
psychology.
It was Chen Ran who was the first to get out of the crack in the stone. As soon as he got out of the crack in the stone and entered the ice cave, a bone-chilling cold wind hit him. It blew his exposed skin like
It's like a pain like being scratched with a knife.
Chen Ran quickly stopped Xiaoyu from getting out of the crack in the stone, and helped her cover up all the exposed skin and her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Wu Bing also followed suit. Because he didn't wear a coat, he put the sweatshirt he had just put on over his head and wrapped it up. Chen Ran also wrapped himself up in the same way.
Holding Bingzhu on one side, he first hugged Yan Ruyu down, and then pulled Wu Bing down. The ground was too slippery to stand on. The three of them were squatting and leaning on the ice wall. Even so, moving forward
Even if they take a step, they will slip and fall. The most important thing is that it is too cold, and the clothes they wear are still summer clothes. Their hands are extremely cold, but they still have to hold a large piece of ice, and the
The ice cubes also seem to be different from the ice cubes outside. I always feel that there is an indescribable cold air in the ice cubes. The cold air suddenly penetrates into the body when it comes into contact with the ice cubes. This is simply torture.
Although Chen Ran was still recovering from a serious illness, his Qi and blood were extremely smooth. The smooth Qi and blood would undoubtedly bring warmth to his body. Therefore, he could still bear it, while Yan Ruyu and Wu Bing could not bear it.
No more.
As Chen Ran walked forward, he turned around and kept an eye on Yan Ruyu and Wu Bing. When he saw Yan Ruyu shivering from the cold, he felt heartbroken. After walking forward for a while, he turned back and held her hands in his hands.
Rub it and put it to your mouth and blow on it.
Yan Ruyu looked at Chen Ran who was blowing her hand, and kept crying, but she was crying and laughing at the same time. She hugged Chen Ran while crying and laughing, and Chen Ran also hugged her tightly to warm her body.
Wu Bing was also shivering from the cold, but he did not receive the same treatment as Xiaoyu, but Chen Ran did not forget him, reminding him and encouraging him all the time.
Although Wu Bing was so cold that he couldn't stand it, and even his body became stiff even when he was crawling, but whenever he thought about the three of them, they still persisted in sharing the difficulties together for a long time, or even already.
He had forgotten what it felt like to have his blood boiling. He felt that even if he died here, it was worth it. When he saw the deep relationship between Chen Ran and Yan Ruyu, he even thought about what if
If there was danger, he would risk his own life to let the two of them escape.
If he was only grateful to Chen Ran when Chen Ran saved his life, now he fully recognizes Chen Ran.
In this way, the three of them braved the severe cold, encouraged each other, supported each other, and tried their best to step forward on the bones step by step, accompanied by the "creak" of stepping on the frozen bones.
Under the "squeaking" friction sound, in this ice cave, the three of them acted like the undead returning from hell. On top of the mountains of bones, they passed through the depths of the ice cave for more than a mile.
After a long journey, we finally came to the end.
But when they reached the end of the ice cave, what appeared in front of them was a palace wall. With this palace wall, you couldn't see the top of the palace when you looked up, and you couldn't see the corners when you looked around. There was only a huge door in front of you.
The copper-skinned red door stands tall, with an array of copper nails the size of a sea bowl on the door.
Seeing this door, Chen Ran, Yan Ruyu and Wu Bing suddenly thought of one word at the same time: majestic.
