Vol 8 Chapter 15: Hard trek (Part 1)

The clicks came more and more frequently, and Xin Zhaolun also got a little more careful. He explored the road in front, even if the glaciers cracked down, as long as he noticed, it was impossible to hurt him, with his strength, to resist the cracks The ice layer is not a big problem at all.
boom!
An ice block about three meters long and one meter wide was smashed into the sky and was crushed directly by Xin Zhaolun, and then one piece after another was dropped.
The crowd hurriedly resisted, and Lei Xingfeng also waved his shield, smashing the ice falling above his head.
Soon the people left the ice wall that kept crashing and turned to another road. The people turned to the new road and suddenly relieved that there was no ice on the top of the head. Unless the thing fell like a mountain, it would be It's hard to threaten them, but the ice that keeps falling from the top of your head is not impossible if you are not careful without defense.
boom!
Another ice wall collapsed and immediately blocked the way forward. Fortunately, the average person is a cultivator, even if the local indigenous people are not bad, the group of people walked directly on the broken ice block without hesitation.
A cry for help came from a distance.
Xin Zhaolun shouted: "Fast speed!"
Lei Xingfeng understands that he must leave the cry for help as soon as possible at this time. Who knows what those people encounter, with their strength, although they are not afraid of anything, but once entangled, that is a big trouble.
Everyone also understands this truth, so when Xin Zhaolun said to accelerate, no one objected, speeding up the pace one by one, some of them were flying directly, and the crazy eagle and the tiger lover protected Lei Xing in tandem. Feng, although it is absolutely impossible to fly over the sky here, but if you encounter a bigger ice crack, you can leap past without worrying about falling into it.
Seven people with a rope, even if someone is taken off the ground by the wind, it will be pulled down by others.
At the beginning, the seven people walked in a line and there was a little bump. It didn't take long for the seven people to gradually understand each other. If someone saw it in the air, the seven people were like a multi-footed centipede, very smooth on the ground, very fast The speed of movement, very harmonious, very tacit.
Dense roar came from far away, everyone felt the shock under their feet, Xin Zhaolun couldn't help but cursed, and led everyone to turn, the surrounding rattle sounded continuously, heard the scalp numb, this is an instinct Fear, even if the collapse of the ice wall does not threaten everyone, but the fear that comes from the heart will still come out involuntarily.
As he left quickly, the surrounding ice walls gradually calmed down. Only the murmuring wind in the sky and the crackling snow fluttering still lingered in his ears.
After walking for about ten miles, Xin Zhaolun raised his hand to stop the crowd. He said, "There is a big ice gap here. Let's take a break."
Seven people squeezed into the ice crack, and suddenly their ears were clear, and the roaring sound was not so harsh.
Being able to avoid the biting cold wind, everyone felt a little better.
Xin Zhaolun said: "Eat something before you go, but unfortunately you can't drink some hot soup, it's too cold."
Even Xin Zhaolun is also called cold, and one can imagine how low the temperature is here.
Lei Xingfeng said: "How far can I go?"
Hammer said: "We have detoured a little bit and we can pass by soon."
Lei Xingfeng said: "Good guy, this cold climate, this is the first time I saw it." Even when it is the coldest in Huyabao, it is not so cold and thrilling, let alone ordinary people, even if it is A real person from a real body will definitely not be here long.
This rest is about fifteen minutes, and there is no way. This place is too dangerous. It must be crossed. There is not much time to delay. Fifteen minutes is enough for everyone to eat a little food. Lei Xingfeng will eat it. Ten pieces of braised pork with big fists, of course, this bit of meat, but a little bit of padding, still far from full.
In fact, Lei Xingfeng also knows a way to supplement physical fitness, that is to eat sweets, or to eat sugar directly, but there is very little sugar in this world, it is not unaffordable, but not found, of course, there are still some sweets, mostly It is made of honey. There are many places in the world where honey is produced, and there are many varieties.
After coming out of the ice cracks, everyone is back on the road, and everyone obviously feels better. Once there is a lack of food in the stomach, in this climate, it can't resist the cold. It must consume its own wheel force or force to avoid freezing. , This is also the reason for frequent eating.
I do n’t know how the hammerhead found the right way. On this way, Lei Xingfeng had long lost his way. If someone were to lead the way, he would n’t be able to find the right way. If you get lost here, even if you are Jiuhuan The real body is almost dead.
This is also the reason why the local indigenous people can still live so moist, otherwise even if their bodies are strong and their combat power is good, they will be killed by outsiders. In the local area, these indigenous people are living maps, and the outsiders simply leave Not for them.
It was another run, and even if the outside world was so cold, everyone sweated a little.
Finally, Hammerhead screamed with joy: "Haha, we are about to go out ... Hey, we are almost out of order ..." Hearing everyone's cold hair, if this guy is lost, everyone is finished.
Everyone entered a big ice crack. Along the ice crack, an ice wall soon appeared. The most puzzling thing was that there was an ice wall in front, and there was no way.
Xin Zhaolun said, "Go from above? Or from below?"
Hammerhead said: "It can't go over from above, the snow is too heavy, it's too difficult to go up, we still pass under."
Xin Zhaolun said: "Have you found it?"
Hammerhead and Mad Axe discussed a few words, and led everyone down the ice wall.
In a moment, the hammerhead found a smooth wall of ice. He reached out and tapped on the wall of ice gently, nodded and said, "This is it."
Mad axe: "I'm coming."
The hammer nodded back and said, "Let's step back."
Mad Axe untied the ropes, carried his huge axe forward, and checked it a little. Suddenly, the big axe was turned up. In a flash, the giant axe gave out a faint golden brilliance, and he heard the crazy axe slamming, ax Just split on the ice wall.
With an axe, the axe quickly backed away.
boom!
The ice wall exploded abruptly, a hole appeared, and axe said: "Okay, open it! Let's enter quickly."
Lei Xingfeng found that the ice wall was very peculiar. The ice wall split by the giant axe was closing quickly. It would take a few minutes for the hole to disappear.
The hammer head is in front, leading the crowd into the hole.
This is a sloping hole. The entrance is small and the inside is large. Because it is all ice, some light refracts in, so this ice cave is not dim. Lei Xingfeng was surprised to find that this ice cave seems to be artificially built. Because the ice on the ground is a ladder-shaped downward, very regular ice ladder.
Lei Xingfeng asked: "Did you dig it?"
Hammerhead said: "Not exactly."
Xin Zhaolun said: "Semi-natural and semi-trimmed, this kind of cave can only be mastered by local indigenous people, outsiders can't find it. You don't believe looking at the cave, it should be closed."
Lei Xingfeng looked back. Sure enough, the hole was already closed.
The temperature in the ice cave is very comfortable. After everyone came in, they all breathed a sigh of relief. In the cold climate, even if the fur covers the nose and nose, the cold air still strongly stimulates the nasal cavity, and you need to slowly inhale and Exhale, otherwise it will be difficult to adapt to the cold.
Lei Xingfeng grabbed his hat, took a deep breath, and said, "Ah, I can finally breathe comfortably. Are we resting here?"
Xin Zhaolun said with a smile: "I had planned to stay here for at least one night. Ha ha, this is the first real resting place to cross the glacier. Let's go forward and know."
This underground ice channel is very long. People walked for about twenty minutes or so before they came to an empty ice hall. An ice edge hung from above, but the ice hall was very large, covering more than 300 square meters. At the corner, everyone can see a stone-built fire pit, there are still charcoal ashes remaining in the fire pond, and a few pieces of broken animal skins were discarded.
Crazy Eagle said with a smile: "Okay, you can start a fire. I didn't expect there to be a fire pond. Ha ha, I don't know who left it."
Hammerhead smiled and said: "This is what my clan left ... This ..." His eyes fixed on Lei Xingfeng again.
Lei Xingfeng said: "Don't watch it, there will be food!"
Hammerhead and Mad Axe both smiled satisfactorily.
It has been cold for most of the day, being able to eat a hot meal and drink a large pot of hot soup is absolutely super enjoyment.
This time Lei Xingfeng did not use charcoal, but used oil wood to burn fire. Oil wood is particularly resistant to burning. Three larger oil woods can boil a large pot of water. This is a very good fuel. With some charcoal, it is enough to heat and Cooking food.
Cooking a hodgepodge, this has become Lei Xingfeng's specialty, simple, convenient, practical, easy to operate, and especially delicious, everyone also likes to eat.
The temperature in the ice hall is much warmer than the outside. When the oil trees in the fire pond started to burn, everyone took off their fur coats.
Lei Xingfeng was cooking a hodgepodge while asking, "Waiting for tomorrow, where are we going?"
Xin Zhaolun said: "We are going to cross a snowy mountain ... and then we will arrive, huh, if there is no accident, the two-day journey will soon ..."
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Is the mining mentioned last time?"
Xin Zhaolun smiled bitterly and said, "This is also a last resort. I originally planned to wait a bit longer, but I feel that the limelight is wrong. I am always a little uneasy. I am afraid that there will be accidents. You must know that this material is quite rare. Come out, if you lose this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such materials next time. "
Lei Xingfeng said: "Can't you buy it?"
