I was immediately stunned. What speed was this? How could it run so fast? My eyes never left it for a moment, but it disappeared under my eyelids. The veins on my forehead were all there.
Jumping wildly, this is definitely an extremely dangerous creature.
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Jiao Ba looked around and asked a little confused.
"I didn't see it either. Where is that person?" Chang Shan kept looking in the direction of my finger, but the place was already empty.
"It disappeared. It disappeared in an instant. I couldn't see how he ran away at all. Before, it was a nearly transparent figure, almost the same color as the city wall. If it weren't for the fact that I was standing at this angle, I would
Guess I still can’t see it.”
I took a big breath and felt a little tight in my chest. My head even started to hurt. I must have looked very bad at this time. I pressed my temples with my hands. I don't know why, but I always have headaches recently.
"It didn't run away at all, it might still be up there." Chang Shan stared at the urn city above and said coldly.
"Ah? It's still up there? Damn it, I'll shoot it down." The big man said, holding the rifle and about to shoot.
Chang Shan held down the muzzle of his gun and said, "Calm down, don't be so impulsive. That thing is probably an ice demon. You don't know where it is hiding. Shooting will only waste bullets."
"Then...what should we do?" Shunzi interjected and asked.
Chang Shan took one last look at the top of the urn and said, "Don't worry about it. Let's keep moving forward. When it's time to come out, it will naturally find us."
After we walked through Wengcheng, what appeared in front of us was a wide ice continent, with ancient houses and buildings on both sides. The two-story ancient buildings were usually used for inns, pharmacies, or
Pawn shop, but the only difference is that these ancient buildings are all almost transparent in color. It is obvious that these buildings are also made of ice.
This is actually an ice city. This is something none of us expected. We didn’t dare to stop, but continued to walk forward. Although there were houses on both sides, we could never see anyone. The streets of the entire city were lifeless.
Yes, nothing can be seen.
There was no wind or fog, everything was still. I couldn't hear anything except our footsteps. It was no exaggeration to say that this place was almost like a cemetery, it was dead silent.
"My mother, where on earth is this? I feel like I have really traveled through time." The big man looked around at us, with confusion written all over his face.
"I...I'm a little scared." Tie Mian dragged his tired body and said beside me.
"I...oh my god, this is an ancient city. Could it be...that this is the legendary...lost ancient city of Loulan?" This Shunzi's thinking is so advanced that he thought this was the lost ancient city of Loulan.
Well, the imagination is really rich.
"You are really ridiculous. This is not the ancient city of Loulan. This is just an ice city, an ancient ice city. Judging from the buildings, it looks more like the buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but... this
It’s also a miracle in the world.”
I looked around as I walked. These ancient buildings vary in size. Some even have plaques hanging on them with the names of pawn shops or restaurants. Most of them have four-character plaques. These plaques are also made of ice.
If you look closely, it's hard to tell.
This is almost a completed city, but this white scene makes people feel very uncomfortable. White represents the symbol of death. People who wear linen and mourn are all made of white cloth. The hospital morgue also uses white cloth to cover the body.
, I suddenly felt a sense of disgust.
But at this moment, not long after we walked in, suddenly, snow began to fall in the sky without warning. What surprised us most was that the snow was actually red, which was completely different from the scene we had encountered before.
Likewise, this blood-red snow will disappear if it falls on you or on the ground.
This strange snow is falling all over the city. Red snow spots are floating everywhere, but there is still no wind. I look up at the sky, but I can’t feel the snowflakes falling on my face at all. It’s like a hallucination.
We can't feel it, but the snowflakes can interfere with our vision.
"It's this kind of strange thing again, but I can't feel its existence at all, it's like an image." I don't know what it is, but it definitely can't be snow. An ominous premonition arises spontaneously, and I
It feels like the danger is getting closer and closer to us.
"This is not a good sign. You'd better be careful, it's extremely dangerous here." Jiao Ba's eyes were moving around, and his head was swinging back and forth.
"Mom, should we find a tavern to have a drink first? Don't waste this great time." The big man still wanted to drink at this time.
Shunzi sneered and said, "You can imagine it, this place is just like a cemetery, there is not even a ghost, and they are still drinking."
"I don't know if these buildings are real or not. They may just be an illusion, an illusion that interferes with ours. Please pay more attention to your surroundings." Chang Shan reminded us.
Everything here is weird and completely unconventional. It would have been weird to have such a place on the sea. Now an ice city appears here. This is completely beyond all of our expectations.
"We've been walking for so long and we can't even see a ghost. Where are we going to find Mr. Mai and the others?" Shunzi complained, looking very bad.
"Yeah, just walking like this is not an option. Where are Mr. Mai and the others?" The big man couldn't hold it any longer.
Chang Shan stopped at this time and said, "How about... let's go into the house and search it. Maybe they are hiding somewhere."
"Isn't it? There are so many houses here. If we search one by one, how long will it take to find them?" This is a city. If just a few of us want to search here, it will take years and months.
"But there is no other way." Chang Shan looked at me, he was also helpless.
I sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Let's divide into two groups. One group will be responsible for one side and carefully check each room. If you encounter danger, you must find a way to exit. Don't fight forcefully.
"
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, we have to find other people quickly."
We then divided into two groups. The big guy and I were wearing iron masks, and Jiao Ba and the others were in a group of three. The big guy was a little stronger, and he and I were wearing iron masks. If we were really in danger, at least we could run fast.
a little.
The first place the three of us searched was an ancient inn. An ancient inn is the same as a restaurant. Downstairs is the place for eating and drinking, and upstairs are the guest rooms.
The three of us walked in cautiously, and I scanned everything inside. The room was a bit dark, with only weak light, so the sight was not very good.
We turned on the strong flashlight and glanced around the door. The tables, stools, stairs, shopkeepers, and all the furnishings inside were all translucent white, which proved that everything was made of ice.
, looks like a huge freezer.
Then I made a gesture to spread the meaning. It would be a waste of time to search together. In order to save effective time, I can only spread it out.
The big man nodded, holding the rifle, and went upstairs with Tie Mian. Although it was a dispersed operation, Tie Mian had to have someone follow him. Although the big man was a little more reckless, he was very loyal and had good physique.
It can play a big role at critical moments.
I searched around downstairs, but didn't find anything. There were wine jars displayed downstairs, but they were all made of ice. Anyway, no matter what they were, as long as they could be seen, they were all white.
, except white, there is no second color.
This is a lifeless inn, more discreet than a morgue. The cold here is absolutely cold, the kind of cold that goes deep into the bones. Many times I feel like someone is staring at me from behind.
This feeling is very strong. My intuition tells me that there must be someone behind me, but every time I look back, I can't see anything. I am almost tortured crazy by this intuition, and I even doubted it for a while.
Are you too nervous?
Where are Mr. Mai and the others? Looking for them in this huge ice city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There is no certainty at all, and I don’t know how Li Xin is doing now? I have been worried in my heart, and I can’t calm down.
.
I planned to go upstairs and have a look. According to the usual practice, the upstairs should be all guest rooms. I stepped on the icy stairs and walked up step by step. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the space.
This ice staircase is quite strong when you step on it. I have been worried about whether it will collapse. Originally, these things were supposed to be made of wood, but now they are made of ice. It looks really weird.
After I walked upstairs, I shouted first, "Big man, where are you?" In order to ensure safety, I had to know where they were first.
But I waited for a while and didn't hear any answer, so I shouted again, "Big man, Iron Mask, where are you?"
"Zhongyi, we are here, don't worry, everything is fine." The big man hurriedly walked out of the guest room opposite me and flashed his flashlight at me.
The upstairs is just like our current shopping mall. There is an empty space in the middle, and the guest rooms are located in a circle. I am standing at the top of the stairs, and the big man is on the opposite side of the stairs.
I deliberately shined the flashlight to take a look, and it was indeed the big man himself. After experiencing the previous horrific incident, I didn't dare to be careless anymore. The ice demon can look like anyone, and can also imitate anyone's appearance.
sound.
So it must be confirmed. It can only be seen from the appearance. Even if the ice demon turns into a human, its cold body cannot be changed. This is the only way to distinguish the real from the fake when the person is not frozen.
