Chapter 4161 The Island Under the Ice Field
The employer finally stabilized the situation through coercion and inducement. Even though everyone was unwilling, they could only endure the bad breath.
In the following time, the big ship moved forward, gradually approaching the legendary sea of eternal freezing.
This is a frozen sea where ordinary people cannot survive, but it is a paradise for many monsters and demons.
At first, there were scattered ice cubes floating on the sea surface. After a while, they turned into huge icebergs.
From time to time, you can still see broken ships and the frozen corpses of crew members. It is said that they were all tempted by the devil and were eventually left in this desperate situation forever.
There is more and more ice on the sea surface, making travel more and more difficult.
When the sea is completely frozen, even the legendary ship can no longer move forward.
At this time everyone had to get off the boat, stepping on the thick snow and walking slowly on the frozen sea.
The seemingly endless sea is actually very dangerous, hiding huge cracks and some indescribably weird cold monsters.
Once a living creature is discovered, it will launch a frenzied attack.
Fortunately, everyone has extraordinary methods. Even if they are in danger many times, they can still resolve it without any danger.
Traveling in the snow is difficult, and the distance you can walk every day is limited. Every once in a while, you have to stop and rest.
At this time, I would dig holes in the snow and try to keep warm.
If a mortal were here, they would definitely fall into a desperate situation, and they might not be able to survive even a day.
Even though the mysterious scholar in the team was wearing special fur clothes, he was still shivering from the cold.
In order to prevent people from freezing to death, the employer distributed an item that looked similar to a miniature heater.
I don’t know what is hidden inside, it can continuously release heat. If you put it on the heart, it can circulate to all parts of the body.
With this kind of heater, the biting cold wind is no longer so scary.
The food is simple. It is a compressed biscuit that can be cooked into porridge in a pot.
In addition to the food carried, you can occasionally find various monsters hidden under the ice from hidden snow caves.
In order to breathe, the underwater monsters will punch holes in the ice sheet, and ventilation will appear every day.
Whenever everyone encounters them, they will kill them directly and use these monsters as supplementary food.
Some people like to stew, some like to grill, and some people eat it raw.
Cut the meat and put it outside. It only needs to be frozen for three to five minutes. When you get it back, you can cut it into thin slices with a knife.
Then he threw it into his mouth and ate it with a smile on his face.
The flesh and blood of these monster beasts on the ice sheet melt in your mouth. If they were brought back to the civilized world, they would definitely be delicacies that dignitaries would compete for.
In this special world, a monk developed a demon recipe, which is said to prolong life and double the reproductive capacity of men and women.
A demon feast is worth 100,000 gold. Even so, the supply exceeds the demand.
Just like this day after day, constantly moving forward, the team finally stopped one day.
It turned out that a big hole appeared on the ice sheet, and mist kept rising.
A thick white solid cloud formed above the ice cave, and it was in a slowly rotating state.
If you look down from the air, the clouds and white snow merge into one, making it impossible to discover the existence of the ice cave.
“Thanks to the goddess of wisdom, we are finally here!”
The mystical scholar in the team let out an excited cheer, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
The monks looked at the big pit, their eyes full of expectation, wondering what secrets were hidden underneath.
The destination has been reached, the next step is to find a way to get there.
Although the edges of the ice cave are extremely smooth and the height is incalculable, it still cannot stump a group of practitioners.
They dug a passage at an angle on the edge of the pit, and then continued digging in the opposite direction. The stepped passage took on a zigzag shape.
Continuously descending along the slope is not very slow, and it will be easier when you return. The monks took turns to attack, digging very quickly, slowly approaching the bottom of the pit.
After nearly three thousand meters deep, we finally saw the scenery at the bottom of the cave, but the result surprised the team members.
It turns out that beneath the ice cave is a rather large island, with dense woods covering the ground.
Now this island is covered by a huge ice shell, and the ice cave is just a hole in the cover.
Although we have reached the bottom of the ice cave, it is still very far from the ground, probably at least 10,000 meters high.
Everyone felt a little headache when they saw this scene.
Falling from an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, one's life will be lost if one is not careful. Even practitioners cannot bear the impact.
Even if it can be dropped, returning will be a problem.
When everyone was at a loss, Tang Zhen suggested making a simple version of a parachute.
The tent ropes carried by the team can be modified to help ordinary people in the team land on the ground.
Other practitioners can make simple gliders, and with careful operation, they can also land on the ground.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the updraft here is very strong, which is definitely a coveted advantage for everyone who is landing.
Tang Zhen’s suggestion was reasonable and well-founded, not to mention that everyone was helpless and could only choose to take the risk and try it.
In order to obtain enough space, the monks dug horizontally on the stairs and dug out a large enough ice cave.
Then according to Tang Zhen’s instructions, all the tent fabrics were spliced together to make a special parachute.
This large parachute can carry more than a dozen people, including practitioners and ordinary people.
After the production was completed, everyone came to the edge of the ice cap to make final preparations before parachuting.
Everyone knows that if the skydiving fails, more than a dozen team members will inevitably lose their lives.
But when things came to a head, they couldn't allow them to back down, so they had no choice but to persevere.
According to Tang Zhen's request, the participants lined up in a row and connected each other with a rope.
Following the order, everyone jumped down one after another and joined together in a chain under the fixed rope.
After the last person jumped, the huge parachute bag also fell and opened smoothly under the impact of the airflow.
A group of people falling at high speed were dragged by a huge parachute, and their descent became very slow.
A strange scene appeared. If it weren't for a dozen people dragging it down, the parachute would even rise upwards with the airflow.
Now, affected by gravity, it continues to fall towards the island below.
The skydivers who were prepared to die could not help but cheer excitedly, knowing that they had escaped death.
The other monks who were waiting were equally happy when they saw this, convinced that Tang Zhen could solve the predicament at hand.
Using the remaining materials to make a glider, Tang Zhen rode on Hans and was the first to jump out of the air.
Using the rising airflow, Tang Zhen controlled the corpse to rotate and fly, gradually approaching the land below.
Seeing this, the other team members imitated Tang Zhen's actions and jumped down from the air one after another.
Like a circling goshawk, it kept spinning in the air and finally landed on the ground with dense vegetation.
After the employer landed, he immediately released the agreed signal and asked everyone to gather together quickly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden scream, and someone was attacked by a monster.
This mysterious and unusual land hidden under the ice fields indeed hides terrible demons or slaves of gods.
The God Slaves are lower level than the God Servants and are equivalent to the cannon fodder soldiers of the gods, but they are still powerful beings that cannot be underestimated.
The lost temple that the employer is trying to find is located on the land below. The monster that suddenly appears is probably the loyal guardian of the temple.
