Chapter 247 Death Ice Gorge
It looks like this is a temporary stop.
As Chen Yao went deeper, he saw the figures of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor standing in front of him.
Their feet were now covered with dense white bones and corpses, as well as no less than ten pieces of soul beast skins, which were pulled out from the soul beasts alive. The painful and ferocious expressions of those soul beasts could still be vaguely seen when they were alive.
Facing such a tragic scene, both the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor looked unhappy.
Especially the Snow Emperor. At this moment, she looked with an ashen face at the still intact body in front of her. It was in the shape of a human being and was placed on a piece of ice rock without any obstruction. It had the same silver-white skin as the Snow Emperor. It is covered with dark clouds and bruises, as well as indescribable stains of filth.
Its limbs were irregularly twisted, and the cheeks that could still be vaguely distinguished from the delicate and beautiful ones before birth maintained an expression of despair and resentment!
It's hard to imagine what kind of inhuman torture she suffered during her lifetime.
This is the Snow Emperor's clan, the Snow Girl clan.
Logically speaking, the Snow Maiden clan lives in groups within the clan and rarely goes out alone. However, this clan member, for some unknown reason, was alone, and happened to be encountered by the Demon Dragon Palace group. The result is naturally conceivable. .
Snow Emperor slowly closed his eyes at this moment, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, astonishing anger and murderous intent burst out of his eyes!
At this moment, Chen Yao also knew that Emperor Xue was emotionally unstable. He didn't say anything to comfort her, but just patted her on the shoulder and said softly.
"I will bring these people back alive so you can vent your anger."
"Thank you!"
After hearing this, Emperor Xue trembled slightly and his mood gradually calmed down. Then he turned his head to look at Chen Yao and nodded slowly.
"According to the signs, these bastards entered this canyon, but"
Ice Emperor also spoke out at this moment. She was extremely angry and resentful towards this group of people, and wanted to cut these people into pieces immediately, but as if she thought of something, her voice suddenly became a little hesitant.
"But what?"
Chen Yao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This is not an ordinary glacier. It has a name that has been circulating in this far north for who knows how long. It's called the Ice Gorge of Death. The terrain inside is difficult and dangerous, and there is also a strange energy permeating the air, which can suppress the soul power. Even Titled Douluo are not immune, and even flying has become extremely difficult. Countless humans or soul beasts who have stepped into this ice gorge out of curiosity have been buried."
At this moment, Emperor Xue took over the conversation, and when Chen Yao heard this, his eyelids trembled, and then he asked curiously.
"There is such a place in the North, but haven't you ever gone in to investigate?"
When the Snow Emperor heard this, he actually nodded.
"Yes. When my soul power first exceeded five hundred thousand years, I wanted to explore everything inside. But when I stepped a thousand miles away, I suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in my heart, as if it was deep inside. There is something terrifying everywhere, threatening my life.
This feeling has never been brought to me even by Ditian, so I finally chose to retreat. If you must go in, please be careful."
As Chen Yao listened, his dark and deep eyes finally stirred up some interest, and he felt some interest in his heart. Although hearing what Snow Emperor said was a bit scary, with his current strength, even if a third-level god jumped out of the place. , he dared to touch it, there was really nothing on Douluo Continent that he was afraid of.
However, Chen Yao happily accepted the Snow Emperor's concerns and nodded.
"I will pay attention. You go back first so that no one sees you."
After saying that, Chen Yao's figure flashed with black light and disappeared.
After Chen Yao left, the Snow Emperor turned to look at the corpse on the ground. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly touched his hand. Suddenly, the miserable corpse was covered with a crystal white light. Then the body began to disintegrate, turning into tiny light particles like snowflakes.
These light particles floated in front of the Snow Emperor, flickering slightly, as if expressing some kind of emotion, including relief and gratitude to the Snow Emperor. Then as the light became weaker and weaker, they gradually disappeared into the air. middle.
After that, the Snow Emperor showed no nostalgia and disappeared into this dilapidated cave together with the Ice Emperor.
Shortly after they left, the entire cave collapsed completely and was buried under thick ice and snow
On the other side, Chen Yao has returned to the coalition forces and ordered the entire army to move towards the Death Ice Gorge.
At first, he didn't feel the strangeness that the Snow Emperor and the two said, but as he went deeper, Chen Yao did find that there was some kind of strange energy in the air.
Unlike the soul power from the outside world that can be absorbed into the body, this energy is vaguely repelled by the soul power, suppressing the soul power in their bodies.
At this moment, except for Chen Yao who could easily block the energy outside his body, the rest of Liu Erlong and others had solemn expressions on their faces, with cold sweat faintly dripping from their foreheads. Obviously, the pressure this energy put on them was not Not small, and these Titled Douluo are like this, not to mention the coalition forces in the rear, all of them are panting and looking at hardships.
When Chen Yao saw this, his expression was slightly solemn. The quality of this energy was indeed slightly higher than the soul power, but because Gu Yuena was with him, Chen Yao was very familiar with the power of gods. He was sure that this was not divine power, but why Did he feel familiar again?
Moreover, those in the Demon Dragon Palace, in addition to the high-level officials, must also have a large number of middle- and low-level soul masters. Otherwise, it is just the high-level officials who want to escape, and they will be broken into pieces one by one, hiding among the civilians of the mainland. It is not an easy task to find them, even if the entire Wuhun Palace is dispatched. Why take the risk and move to the far north on a large scale where there is almost no living environment?
He even risked his life to step into this death ice gorge.
Also, now that the coalition forces have only penetrated this far, they have begun to show signs of difficulty. I am afraid that if they go a little further, they will start to suffer casualties. How did the people in the Demon Dragon Palace get through unharmed?
Or is it that they didn't make a hasty decision to enter this death ice gorge? But this is the fundamental purpose? Come prepared? It is not impossible to think about it. After all, according to Liu Erlong, those powerful evil soul masters have been cultivating in the northern land for many years. I am afraid that those crazy guys have really figured out some tricks and can crack it. The strange energy of this death glacier is also reasonable.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao became even more curious. At his current level, there were not many things on the mainland that could arouse his interest. These evil soul masters were one of them. For a moment, he couldn't wait to know. These madmen, who are incomprehensible to ordinary people, have figured out some weird things.
Could it be the so-called evil god?
Chen Yao's thoughts were racing, but suddenly two figures jumped up to him, interrupting his thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he saw the two Contras leading the team looking at each other with sad faces. Holding Chen Yao, he begged.
"Master Chen Yao, this place is really weird. We really can't go in anymore. Many soul masters have already lost their lives because they couldn't bear it! Just have mercy on us!"
Their voices were desolate and their postures were humble, almost making those who heard it sad and those who saw them crying, but Chen Yao said with a cold expression.
"No war can be fought without bloodshed. What's more, this time, it's about the safety of the entire continent. It's clear that the troubles of the Demon Dragon Palace are just ahead, but you still want to escape? Could it be that your two huge empires can't even do this? Can't afford any loss? You don't even have this belief? How can you set an example for tens of millions of people in the mainland?"
After hearing Chen Yao's scolding, the two of them seemed to be grabbed by a big invisible hand by the neck. Their sobbing stopped abruptly, their faces were shocked, and then they turned blue and purple.
They knew clearly that Chen Yao's words were completely bullshit, but they didn't know how to refute them.
In the end, they could only return to their respective teams in despair.
However, this time, even if the two of them wanted to take the bitter pill, the people in the army were not happy. They shouted to leave the team and were unwilling to move forward. For a while, the entire coalition army was in an uproar.
No matter how much the two Contras tried to persuade, it was difficult to suppress this restlessness, and from the bottom of their hearts, they did not want to suppress it. They hoped to use this momentum to make Chen Yao give up on them and let them retreat.
But it's a pity that this group of cannon fodder is very important. You can't just say you don't want it, but Chen Yao didn't take any action to suppress it. People like Liu Erlong and Yu Yuanzhen around him showed their soul rings one by one. Several kinds of rays rose up at the same time, condensing into one force, like a landslide and a tsunami. The majestic pressure instantly made the mutinous coalition forces become extremely well-behaved and very quiet.
Afterwards, Chen Yao once again directed the coalition forces to advance, and the two Contras could only lead the coalition forces to follow them as if they were resigned to their fate.
There is no real road in this glacier gorge. Everywhere you pass is extremely steep, rugged, and even deep, bottomless ice pits frequently appear along the way. Don't know where it will fall.
But fortunately, here at this moment, there are some powerful soul masters. Although their soul power is suppressed, they are still barely able to walk on flat ground. However, as they gradually deepen, these soul masters are no longer as relaxed as before. Casualties gradually began to appear, and even Liu Erlong and other titled Douluo experts gave up flying and landed on the ground to preserve their soul power and cope with unknown dangers.
After all, this place is really weird and makes everyone feel uneasy. Even if Chen Yao is at the forefront, there is always a sense of crisis lingering.
With this feeling of uneasiness, everyone gradually stepped into the thousand-mile place that Snow Emperor told Chen Yao before. The moment they stepped in, a biting cold wind suddenly swept from the depths. It was like a sharp knife, scratching everyone's exposed skin until it was extremely painful.
At the same time, everyone, including Liu Erlong and other powerful Titled Douluo experts, suddenly felt a palpitation in their hearts and their hair stood on end, as if there was a pair of extremely terrifying eyes staring at them in the dark!
At this time, Chen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then snorted coldly.
"Hmph! You're just pretending to be a ghost!"
As soon as he finished speaking, nine soul rings bloomed behind him, and the black mist surged crazily around him. A kind of coldness that was completely different from the surrounding frost and snow, as if coming from the Nine Netherworld, began to spread.
This strange and ominous dark aura instantly shattered everyone's feeling of being spied on in the dark. Some were left with only the fear of the thin figure in front of them, filled with black mist, like an ominous center. Fear and horror.
"Keep going!"
At this moment, Chen Yao's voice was no longer as cold and plain as before, but overlapping with each other, carrying a sense of eerieness that made people shudder and dare not disobey.
However, not long after they regained their strength and traveled about ten miles, a sudden change occurred.
The ice walls on both sides suddenly began to tremble violently, and the ice surface under everyone's feet began to collapse without any warning. The scope was so large that they were caught off guard, and figures fell into the ground like dumplings without the ability to resist. After entering, only the frightening and shrill screams were left, echoing in the sky.
The people who reacted faster and escaped unharmed looked at the bottomless pit in front of them with lingering fear, dripping with cold sweat.
However, this is not over yet, the shaking has not stopped, and is even getting worse.
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, the ice wall on the right suddenly exploded. Countless huge broken ice rocks flew around and fell towards the ground. Some people who had not had time to disperse could only remain in despair. He screamed helplessly and was directly smashed into pools of blood.
Liu Erlong and others on the side had already sensed the crisis and jumped into the sky. After ensuring that they were safe, they looked warily at the ice wall on the right.
At this moment, Chen Yao looked at the place where a thick layer of snow mist had spread along with the ice explosion, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then as if he had discovered something, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, before he could think too much, an illusory silhouette covering the sky and the sun, about two hundred meters high, had already appeared in the snow and fog.
This huge figure was almost as big as the ice walls on both sides, like a towering mountain top, which made everyone feel extremely frightened. Yu Yuanzhen and others clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. , the mood is heavy and the scalp is numb.
Even if they are like this, not to mention the coalition forces below who have already suffered heavy losses, at this moment, each of them is extremely depressed. In their eyes, this giant shadow like a demon is not their manpower at all. What can be resisted!
And as thick shadows surged into everyone's minds, the dense snow fog gradually dispersed, and the giant shadow that lifted up into the sky was completely clear in everyone's eyes!
