Ye Zhongming saw a piece of crystal white ice crystal in front of him and asked his father next to him.
After slaughtering the fish nest, the team walked for two more days. After passing through the territory of an eighth-level lifeform and being hunted by Genting's young army, they arrived at one of the most dangerous sections of road leading to Yakutsk.
"Yes." Dad said. He looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze, because he had never been here before.
As the saying goes, take advantage of others' shortcomings and take advantage of others' shortcomings. Dad really wants to complete this task well, so that he can be worthy of the things Genting gave them.
Now everyone in his team has changed their weapons. Not only have they all become five-star evolutionaries, but their equipment has also changed from gray and white to mostly silver. Everyone even got a piece of green equipment.
These things are what they dream of.
After receiving the reward, Dad couldn't wait to send Ye Zhongming and others to where they were going immediately.
But only halfway through the journey, we arrived at the Ice Crystal Swamp.
Dad knew it was a dangerous place here, and even knew exactly what was inside, but he really didn't know how to get through it.
He pondered for a while and decided to tell Ye Zhongming everything he knew. As for what others do, that is their business.
"Ice crystal swamps were not so big originally, but in the past two years, their area has expanded greatly." Dad pointed at the slanted area in front of them that looked like a crystal forest.
"This is a dead land. I don't know about other forces, but at least no one dares to come here to hunt in Xingwo." Dad continued: "There are three main dangers here. One is that it is called Sitting in the Swamp because
A lot of the ground here is hollow, and you will fall if you are not careful. This is not natural, but caused by a mutant bug called a white tiger beetle. They leave only a thin layer of ice.
The ground is completely opened up, and when there are living beings who step on it and fall down, they will be attacked."
"Because this place is always covered with snow, every inch of the land looks the same, which is really hard to guard against."
"White tiger beetle?" Ye Zhongming repeated the name.
"Yes, it is said to be a variant of the king tiger beetle. Don't worry, you may laugh. When I first heard about the king tiger beetle, I thought it was related to tigers. Later I found out that it is a beetle similar to longhorned beetles."
Dad smiled and rubbed his hands. It wasn't that he was afraid of the cold, but it was a habitual action developed here.
"These little things have become bigger now. They are all like domestic cats. The chelae on the front of the head and the claws on both sides of the body are very sharp. What is even more frustrating is that it is covered in white armor.
It is extremely hard, and basically any attack that is one evolutionary level higher than it will be ineffective."
Ye Zhongming showed a slightly shocked expression.
Dad just said that these little things are basically four or five levels, and occasionally there are six levels. Doesn't that mean that if you encounter the king of white tiger beetles, you have to take action yourself?
"Also, these big beetles live in groups. The traps they make are all made by families. The number varies. Some are said to be more than ten, and some may be more than fifty or sixty."
The others nodded after hearing this. With the size of these white tiger beetles, they probably wouldn't be able to dig a big ice pit. Humans would definitely not be able to perform well after falling in, and being attacked by them again would definitely be a disaster.
"But I don't know why, these white tiger beetles never come out of the ice crystal swamp." Dad shook his head, not sure why. If this kind of bugs did not have such restrictions and were found on the entire ice sheet, then when humans hunt, casualties will be higher.
Very tragic.
"The second danger is ghost fog. There is no ice storm in the ice crystal swamp, but there is a kind of ghost fog. I heard people say that it appears very strangely and disappears very strangely. When it appears, it is silent, no matter where it passes.
Evolutionaries and other life forms will all disappear. Very few people can escape."
Speaking of this matter, Dad still has some say. In the past two years, a compatriot from the country once took his own team to the ice crystal swamp for adventure. Before he encountered the white tiger beetle, he encountered this
Plant ghost mist.
Most of the dozens of people in the team were gone in an instant. Others fled frantically, but in the end only five or six people were able to escape.
Later, this man's combat effectiveness was reduced due to the psychological trauma caused by the ghost mist, and he was killed due to a trance during a hunt not long after.
Ghost fog?
Ye Zhongming touched his chin. There were really all sorts of weird things happening in this place. He had never experienced it personally, so he really couldn't imagine what the ghost fog looked like.
"What's the third one?"
Ye Zhongming was now a little more curious about this place, so he took the initiative to ask with interest.
"Blow Dart Doll."
This time, even the people from the Red Makeup Guards and the Youth Army couldn't help but look at Dad.
"There is a special kind of life here. It looks a bit like a human, but it is only about fifty centimeters tall. It has white skin and blends in with the environment here. If it weren't for its black eyes, it would be difficult to detect."
Dad has seen the body of the Dart Doll. It was hard to identify it in the ice and snow.
"They are very thin, and their combat power alone is not very strong. However, they are very fast, very light, and have excellent agility. It can be said that they are invisible in this ice crystal swamp."
Drawing a pattern like a little ghost on the snow, Dad continued: "It probably looks like this. These little things have a kind of bone tube in their hands that they were born with. During the growth process, they
There will be bones in their bodies that stick out of the body. When they need to fight, these guys will break off the bone needles on their bodies, put them into the bone tubes, and then blow them out with their mouths, very, very fast.
, it can even change its direction slightly, making it extremely difficult to dodge.”
"Another thing that is very annoying is that this kind of bone spur contains highly toxic substances. So far, except for a few people who are said to have released this toxin on their own by relying on their strong physique, all other evolvers who have been infected by bone spurs have been poisoned.
He died in a very miserable and horrific manner."
They are fast, agile, quick to attack, and poisonous. In this place where they have natural protective colors, this kind of dart doll that specializes in long-range attacks is really difficult to deal with.
"Are there many of them?" Ye Zhongming asked.
"I don't know about this, but it's definitely not too little." Dad replied.
Nodding, Ye Zhongming asked another question, but he was shocked when he heard his father's answer.
What he asked was, do these dart dolls have a high evolutionary level? And Dad's answer was... they have no evolutionary level.
