Chapter seven hundred and seventieth underground iceberg
There is a dividing line between Beihuang and Lengshan Plateau, called the Bujong River. The Bujong River is always fast and never freezes. There are ice cliffs of 100 feet on both sides. The narrowest part of the river is 50 meters. This is the North River.
The natural boundary between the wilderness and the Lengshan Plateau. When the Black Yuezhi decided to build a second line of defense here, they made full use of the natural ravine of the Bufrog River and destroyed the seven buildings that originally existed on the Bufrog River.
bridge.
Cao Chengguang looked down at the rapid river below the ice cliff and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He looked at the opposite side again. He was sure that his short legs could not cross such a long distance at once. Not only him, but also the Gale Wolf.
It may not be possible.
Cao Chengguang secretly glanced at the Snow Girl not far away, and whispered to Huang Qitai: "Old Huang, there is no road here at all." It was the Snow Girl who was responsible for leading the way, and it was she who led everyone to this place.
Huang Qitai said: "There used to be a bridge, but it was later destroyed by the Black Yuezhi's army. The exposed stretch of this ice-free river is about 800 miles. There used to be seven bridges, spanning the north and south.
, we will pass by the bridge when we go to Lengshan Plateau for business. The Black Yueshi want to build a second line of defense here, so they destroyed all the bridges, mainly to prevent Netherworld from going south."
Zhang Chi said: "The Great Wall of Ice and Snow is still there, but if they do this, it is equivalent to abandoning the Feng Family."
Snow Girl said: "The Black Moon clan has harbored evil intentions from the beginning. While other clans were fighting against Netherworld, they secretly developed their power in the rear. They are even more hateful than Netherworld."
Cao Chengguang said: "You brought us here, but there is no bridge. How can we get across?"
The snow girl said: "Aren't you good at escaping from the ground? Drilling through the ground?"
Cao Chengguang was caught off guard by her, and rolled his eyes. He wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was Zhang Chi's woman, and she was good at manipulating ice and snow. He would inevitably suffer from going against her, so he smiled and said: "It's a pity that it is.
Ice, if it's all soil, I can crawl through it."
Zhang Chi quietly communicated with Lightning: "Can you jump over this distance?"
Lightning said to Zhang Chi: "Master, I think you are obsessed with sex and your mind is not clear. This is too far and my jumping ability is not that good. Do you want me to carry you and jump into the river to take a bath?"
Zhang Chi said: "I thought you could jump over, I look up to you."
Lightning's mouth crooked and he stopped talking. Why are you so irritating when you speak today? After holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Master, you are so awesome, why don't you jump? Let me see how you jump over?"
Zhang Chi chuckled. It was impossible to jump over directly. However, if he sewed a hot air balloon, he could help the hot air balloon float over. After using his brain, the next step was to find materials. Although the method was feasible, where could he find the hot air balloon for a while?
go?
The snow girl glanced at them and said, "Fly over."
Zhang Chi shook his head: "It doesn't have that function."
Lightning's mouth twisted again: "Master, aren't you quite powerful?"
"Shut up!"
The snow girl smiled and said: "There is a way!" She took a step forward, and the snowflakes on the ground spiraled up and wrapped around her delicate body. When the snow girl appeared again, she already had two wings on her back.
, the transparent wings seemed to be carved from ice. Zhang Chi touched them out of curiosity, feeling as soft as feathers.
Cao Chengguang opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a fist into it. He sighed inwardly, it was amazing, this guy fucked an angel.
The Snow Girl picked up Zhang Chi and flew into the air. She easily crossed the Bifeng River in front of everyone's attention, and slowly landed on the other side with Zhang Chi. The other side was already within the scope of the Lengshan Plateau.
Cao Chengguang grinned. He stretched out his two short arms. I have never hugged an angel in my arms. Feel the feeling. Eat meat. Let's smell some meat.
Xue Nu had already anticipated what Lao Cao was thinking, so she threw out a rope and said to Cao Chengguang: "Are you going to catch it or hold it in your mouth?"
Cao Chengguang looked at Xue Nu depressedly, resenting this beauty with angel wings even more.
Of course, Cao Chengguang chose to hold on to the rope, and it was the Gale Wolf who held it in his mouth.
Cao Chengguang was the second to step on the snow on the Lengshan Plateau, and gave a thumbs up to Zhang Chi, who was the first to reach the other side: "I'm convinced, I'm convinced."
Zhang Chi said: "Old Cao, please be more sunny and don't think too darkly."
Cao Chengguang said: "I finally understand now that Netherworld Ruins is your private land. No matter how colorful flags are flying here, the outside world won't know. You are so happy. You are so happy."
“There are too many women and it’s tiring.”
Cao Chengguang looked at this guy's pretentious face and felt his teeth itching: "When will you make me tired again?" After saying that, he felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he added: "When you do that, they both have wings."
Where to put it?"
Zhang Chi really wanted to kick this guy down, but Cao Chengguang saw his thoughts from his eyes and quickly took a step back to a safe distance. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of squeaking through the air, and raised his eyes
Looking over, I saw fireworks shooting out from below.
The snow girl was still dragging the lightning in the air, looking down with her beautiful ice blue eyes. Fireworks exploded around her body. Along with the gorgeous fireworks, there were colorful smoke everywhere. The snow girl used all her strength to throw the lightning to the other side.
, when he fluttered his wings and flew upward, he suddenly felt dizzy, let out a sweet cry, and fell straight down.
The incident happened so suddenly that Zhang Chi did not react. In fact, even if he did, he would have been too late to rescue Xue Nu. He rushed to the edge of the ice cliff and looked down, only to see that Xue Nu had already fallen straight down. There were two slender rivers on the ice-free river.
There were people in the black boat, and the fireworks just now must have been caused by them. Yuki-onna fell into the river between the two boats, and soon they saw them dragging Yuki-onna out of the water with a fishing net. One of them even raised his head.
Look up.
Zhang Chi roared: "Let her go!"
The people on the boat gave Zhang Chi a middle finger, and then quickly headed downstream with the snow girl.
Huang Qitai and Xue Nu's five followers had not had time to be transported to the Cold Mountain Plateau. Seeing the scene in front of them, they all broke out in cold sweat. If it was not lightning but them that Xue Nu had just sent over, they might have fallen down together with Xue Nu.
Zhang Chi turned over and climbed onto Lightning's back, and Lightning burst out with an angry howl, leading Zhang Chi to run wildly downstream along the unfrozen river. Not far after chasing him, he saw the two small boats entering from the ice cave near the river.
The tributaries of the ice-free river are hidden in the ice caves, and their shadows are lost in relaxation.
Huang Qitai from the other side also rode a wind wolf and followed him, shouting loudly from the other side: "My boss, Colorful Wolf Yan, they are members of the Huangfu family."
Zhang Chi was startled when he heard this. The Huangfu family is the most powerful family of the Shanman clan. Ever since the Black Moon clan unified the Northern Wilderness, Huangfu Xiu has been exiled. His whereabouts are unknown these years. Could it be that this old guy went to hide in the Bu Dong River area?
Zhang Chi asked Huang Qitai: "Is there their lair here?"
Huang Qitai hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said: "This non-freezing river eroded the ice and rock, dug out the ground, and formed criss-crossing tributaries. The bottom is like a maze. I heard that the Huangfu family came to this area to avoid disaster.
But I don't know where they are specifically." He had been working for the Huangfu clan in the past and was very familiar with Huangfu's methods, so he recognized Huangfu's colorful smoke at a glance. Along the way, he was saved by Zhang Chi many times.
In times of crisis, if you don't say sorry, it's your conscience.
Cao Chengguang rushed over from a distance with short legs. Fortunately, he didn't run too far, otherwise he would never be able to catch up. He panted and said, "Wait for me, wait for me."
Zhang Chi came to the edge of the ice cliff and looked down, and he quickly made a decision.
Lightning had already understood what he meant and said respectfully: "Master, go ahead and rescue the Snow Girl." At the last moment, Snow Girl threw Lightning to a safe place, otherwise Lightning would fall with her.
Zhang Chi said to Cao Chengguang: "We have to go down."
When Cao Chengguang heard him use the term "we", his head shook like a rattle: "If you want to get down by yourself, I don't have the ability. I can escape with earth, but not with water. Don't force others to do anything."
Zhang Chi thought for a while and realized that he was telling the truth, so he said: "You guys wait where you are, I will go down alone."
Cao Chengguang said: "Think carefully, there are many enemies hidden down here, and we...we can't help." This was a bit guilty.
Zhang Chi said: "It doesn't matter, I will act according to the circumstances."
He reached out and patted Lightning on the head.
"Master, I will go with you."
Zhang Chi shook his head, strode towards the ice cliff, and climbed down with his body close to the ice cliff. Cao Chengguang thought he was going to jump off without hesitation, but after a closer look, Zhang Chi used two short knives and used heat energy to insert the daggers.
The ice rocks are moving downwards in turn. I don’t know how many years this ice rock has existed. If I just use a knife, I am afraid that even if the tip of the knife is broken, I will not be able to penetrate even a single inch. However, all things in the world are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Immortal Zhang can easily deal with this situation.
Not long after, the body had descended to the surface of the ice-free river.
Cao Chengguang sighed in his heart, is this kid going to swim over? He couldn't help shouting: "You must be careful!"
Zhang Chi made an OK gesture to Cao Chengguang and stretched out his hand to test the water temperature. The water in the non-freezing river was not as warm as expected and was a bit cold to the touch. Zhang Chi secretly thought that if he just swam in like this, he would probably consume a lot of energy.
The ice cave that the two small boats entered before is about 300 meters downstream. It would be great if there was a bamboo raft. It would be easy to reach there by drifting along the current.
Thinking of the bamboo raft Zhang Chi had an idea, aren't there any ready-made resources around him that can be used? He took out his short knife again and inserted it into the ice rock.
Cao Chengguang and Ling Ling both looked down and saw that Zhang Chi had reached the river surface, but was not in a hurry to get down to the river. They didn't know what the boy was doing. Suddenly they saw a flash of white light on the ice cliff. When they looked closely, it was Zhang Chi who was jumping from the ice cliff.
An ice cube the size of a double bed was dug out.
Cao Chengguang immediately understood what this kid was trying to do. He wanted to use ice cubes to make a raft.
Sure enough, Zhang Chi had already arrived on the ice raft. The ice raft floated downstream with the water. Zhang Chi took out his long knife and plunged into the water. This time, he did not release the heat energy in his body outward, but did the opposite, absorbing the outside world.
The river water lost heat and condensed around the long knife. After a while, an ice paddle was formed. Zhang Zhang used the ice paddle to adjust the direction of the raft and guide the ice raft into the ice cave.
The tributary of the Unfrozen River formed a whirlpool where it had just entered the ice cave. The ice raft began to spin violently in the whirlpool. Zhang Chi finally managed to control the raft. After passing through the whirlpool, the speed of the water flow began to slow down obviously. Zhang Chi was slow to maneuver the ice paddle.
Slowly move forward along this underground river.
It was pitch dark inside. Zhang Chi took out a spirit stone and used the light of the spirit stone to illuminate the surroundings. The water surface in front became open. It turned out that there was a lake hidden in the belly of the glacier. Zhang Chi secretly sighed at the merit of nature and remembered that the Huangfu family had also
The Shanman clan is the most powerful, but it's a pity that Huangfu's cultivation is not correct, and that's why he ends up hiding in Tibet today.
A blue light loomed in front of him. Zhang Zhang put away the spiritual stone to prevent the light from alerting the enemy too early. He drew an ice raft and slowly approached it. The place where the blue light flashed was an iceberg floating in the lake. Dozens of small boats were shuttled back and forth around the iceberg.
There was a tinkling sound in his ears. The sound was clearly coming from the iceberg. Judging from the sound, it should be the sound of digging. Zhang Chi secretly wondered in his heart, could there be any treasure hidden on the iceberg? The Huangfu family chose this underground place not only for
Is it to hide? Are there any other motives?
Zhang Chi quietly approached a small boat far away from his companions. The small boat was full of things, and a man in black was operating an oar to transport it. Zhang Chi took advantage of him and suddenly jumped over before the man had time to make a sound.
He was killed by Zhang Chi with one knife.
Zhang Chi quickly put on the man's clothes and saw that the boat was filled with blue crystals. He picked it up and felt it. The crystals were as cold as ice and were very different from ordinary spiritual stones. It seemed that they were on an iceberg.
This is what is mined from the sea.
Zhang Chi stared at the man's face carefully for a few times and tried to use mimicry to look like him. Although he couldn't be as lifelike as Bai Xiaomi, he was still 70% similar. He should not be exposed under such light conditions. He would
The man's body was thrown down, and then the spar in the boat was thrown down. He noticed that there was a shining symbol on his chest, thirty-six, which seemed to be the number of the man just now. Zhang Chi rowed the boat towards the iceberg.
At the northwest corner of the iceberg, there is a pier. Small boats shuttle back and forth here, transporting blue crystals. Zhang Chi looked left and right, but did not see any sign of the snow girl. While he was looking for it, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Twenty
one……"
Zhang Chi was startled. He was thirty-six. If he couldn't keep it, he would be counted. As expected, his number was quickly called on the shore, but it was time to change shifts. Zhang Chi originally wanted to go to the iceberg to see the iceberg, but this happened to him.
wish.
Those whose names were called all docked their boats at the dock, which was completely carved out of the iceberg.
A man who looked like a foreman wearing black fur came over and counted the number of people. At this time, twenty people came down from the iceberg and changed shifts with the twenty people named.
These people did not communicate with each other, and did not even look at their companions. In fact, Zhang Daxian was not similar at all, but no one paid attention to this matter and only regarded him as the original No. 36.
Zhang Chi noticed that the twenty people who had just come down from the iceberg were tightly wrapped, and their bodies were all covered with a layer of frost. This showed that their work was very hard, and they should be working at low temperatures, so they could not last for too long.
Exchanges are required every once in a while.
Zhang Chi took his tools, put on his leather jacket and trousers, put on his hood, and followed them in a neat queue, walking up the steps built on the iceberg. After walking about three hundred steps, he arrived halfway up the mountain.
There is a mine here, and he can follow the mine into the interior of the iceberg. The blue crystal he just saw was mined from the interior of the iceberg.
Zhang Chi originally thought that Xue Nu was most likely to be brought here, but when he walked deep into the mine, he discovered that this was probably just the construction site where the Huangfu clan mined crystals, not their home base. His purpose was to save people, not to hunt for treasure, so he immediately thought
I turned around and went back, but the passage was narrow and there were more than a dozen people lined up behind me, so it was not easy to turn around.
Zhang Chi could only follow the crowd and walk in, waiting for the right moment to think about getting out. He walked along the downward slope for more than 200 meters. There was a clanking sound in front of him. It turned out that there was another person inside.
There are two teams at work, which means that the excavation work inside the iceberg is non-stop.
The blue light was emitted from the belly of the iceberg. Due to years of mining, there was only an icicle about ten meters in diameter left in the center. Zhang Chi was surprised to find a naked man frozen in the icicle. The man had a strong body.
The muscles are plump and the arms are clasping the knees, just like a baby in the mother's body.
The gray-haired man couldn't see his true face due to the posture of his head. I don't know when this person was frozen here, and I don't know why.
One person patted Zhang Chi and motioned for him to come over and take over the work. Zhang Chi followed the example of the others and walked over. He was assigned to a group that transported crystal stones. When the two groups were handing over, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.
Someone walked in.
The foreman in charge of the scene quickly stopped working, and everyone stood respectfully in two rows. From the behavior of everyone, it was inferred that someone important must have arrived.
Zhang Chi quietly took a look and saw a young man. To Zhang Chi's surprise, the man's appearance was almost exactly the same as that of the dead Huangfu Xiong. Zhang Chi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Huangfu Xiong had returned from the dead? Then he thought about this possibility.
His nature was very small. He had sprayed Huangfu Xiong to death with Samadhi True Fire, and later destroyed his body and destroyed all traces of it. There was no way that Huangfu Xiong, who had been reduced to ashes, could be reborn.
Zhang Chi stared at the young man carefully and felt that he was still a little different from Huangfu Xiong. He was younger than Huangfu Xiong, and his face was a little less sinister.
This young man was actually Huangfu Wang, Huangfu Xiong's younger brother, and he was also Huangfu Xiu's favorite youngest son. Especially after Huangfu Xiong's death, Huangfu Xiu placed all his hopes on this youngest son.
Huangfu looked at the man in the icicle and said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work." After saying that, he turned to the old man in black robes with white beard and hair next to him and said: "Teacher, is this the Netherworld?"
The old man in black robe nodded and said: "Yes, he fell into the netherworld of the ice field from a foreign country."
Huangfu looked at him and asked, "Is he dead?"
The old man in black robe said: "He has been frozen here for more than a thousand years and is already dead. His blood has penetrated the ice crystals here and given them energy."
Huangfu Wang sighed: "If he is still alive, maybe no one can be his opponent, right?"
The old man in black robe said: "Perhaps only Netherworld King can rival him." After he finished speaking, he looked at Huangfu and said: "Young Master, it's too cold here, we'd better leave."
Huangfu Wang glanced around the naked man in the icicle again, and had no intention of leaving immediately.
He told everyone not to be polite and to work quickly. The foreman directed everyone to mine ice crystals. Mining ice crystals is not easy. It usually takes three hours to mine an ice crystal the size of a brick. Zhang Chi secretly thought that at this rate, he wanted to dig to the position of the naked man.
It is estimated that it will take quite some time.
Zhang Chi has no interest in mining. He also walked in by mistake. The main purpose of this trip was to rescue Xue Nu. When he saw Huangfu Wang, he had an idea. It would be the safest way to catch this kid and use him in exchange for Xue Nu.
.
With such an idea, Zhang Chi was ready to put it into action immediately. When the foreman was not paying attention, he put down the work at hand and was about to act quietly when he saw Huangfu Wang walking towards him. He was secretly happy and it would be better to take the initiative to send him to his door.
.
Huangfu looked in front of the icicle, clasped his hands and said to the naked man in the icicle: "Senior, please forgive me, we did not intend to disturb your tranquility, but we did it out of necessity."
Zhang Chi felt that this guy was quite polite.
Huangfu Wang took out a leather bag, unscrewed the cork, and poured the light red wine in it along the icicles. Zhang Chi frowned, this guy is quite superstitious, he dug up all the graves of others, so pouring some wine is enough.
Make some compensation?
Immortal Zhang was ready to attack, ready to catch this boy off guard.
At this time, Huangfu Wang suddenly let out an exclamation. Zhang Chi's heart sank, thinking that he was exposed, but when he saw that no one around him was paying attention to him, Huangfu Wang stared at the ground, and saw that he was pouring red wine on the ground.
Penetrates into the icicle at a slow speed.
The old man in black robe heard the sound and rushed over. He looked in the direction of Huangfu's finger, frowned and said, "Huh? How could it be like this?"
Zhang Chi secretly sighed, this naughty boy had polluted the fine ice crystals.
The slowly permeating red wine dispersed inside the icicle like smoke, but quickly gathered again to form a thin red line, which spread towards the center of the icicle at an alarming speed.
Huangfuwang held the wine bag in his hand and stopped pouring wine, and said in astonishment: "How could this happen? How could this happen?" He really couldn't figure out why this happened.
puff!
Light red wine spurted out from the wine bag. The man in black robe looked at Huangfu. The first reaction of the people around him was that Huangfu was too nervous and squeezed the wine bag too tightly, causing the wine inside to spurt out.
However, Zhang Chi felt that it was not that simple, because he felt a powerful cold air suddenly expand from the icicles to the surroundings.
