Chapter 177
This also confirmed the terrible fact that the cold wave is coming.
The temperature outside has dropped to a terrifying level.
“We have no retreat now, we can only dig out the nine-story demon tower.”
“This blizzard will probably get even bigger, so we need to avoid the wind and snow there. ”
"We can still hold on, but Axiang..."
Yang Shirley looked at the girl Axiang with pity.
She is delicate and frail, and cannot adapt to such a cruel natural environment. She is already turning blue from the cold.
But there was no way, her godfather forced her to come with him, and she couldn't refuse.
As for "outsiders" such as Hu Ming and Hu Bayi, they naturally had no stand to refuse. After preparing the climbing ropes, they stopped inking and slid down one by one.
But the good thing is that this glacier fissure is diagonally downward, so even Axiang, who doesn't know anything about rock climbing, can get down.
Hu Ming and Chu Yi walked at the front. Hu Ming held a rope in one hand and a knife in the other.
He always felt that there was something else inside the glacier.
As expected! After the others had fallen more than half the distance.
Suddenly, from the blind spot of everyone’s vision, a creature that was all white and had an inflated body like a cute doll climbed the ice wall and rushed towards everyone!
"Snow Maitreya"!*2.
Seeing this thing, Hu Ming and Chu Yi shrank their pupils and exclaimed.
This thing is a bit bloated, but judging from its appearance, it should be shaped like a giant wolf.
"What is Xue Maitreya?"
The others were stunned, looking at the serious eyes of Hu Ming and Chu Yi, and couldn't help but ask.
"It is a strange parasitic organism, a unique organism in glaciers."
"Whenever the melting period is about to end and the cold wave is about to come, this thing will wake up from the glacier and come out to hunt. "
"Looking at its bloated appearance, it is still very fresh. It must have been parasitized by a giant wolf just last night, right?" Hu Ming explained casually.
At the same time, Hu Ming stabbed the dragon-patterned cirrus knife in his right hand into the ice wall, grabbed the rope and stood up, stepped on the back of the knife with his feet, and leaned against the ice wall to stabilize his body.
At the same time, he turned over his backpack and took out a small bag, from which he grinded out a handful of white crystal sand.
That's table salt.
This thing called Xue Maitreya is harmless and cannot be traced to slimes.
No knife or gunshot wounds are of any use to it.
The only weakness, and the biggest weakness, is salt!
Hu Ming's eyes were like lightning, staring at Xue Maitreya's figure.
Strangely enough, every time he went to the tomb, Hu Ming was mostly regarded as the first target of those dangerous moves.
It made Hu Ming wonder if he was born to be at odds with these ghosts, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Three, two, one,
When the thing was almost in front of his face, Hu Ming suddenly raised the salt in his hand.
Suddenly, Xue Maitreya's figure was covered with salt from the sky's elites.
"Ahhh!!"
Suddenly, a sharp howl came.
Xue Maitreya was clasped on the ice wall with all four legs, and his whole body was sprinkled with salt. Suddenly, the whole body began to contract violently. At the same time, the swollen body seemed to melt, and transparent liquid continued to drip.
In just a few blinks, the thing shrank into a ball as big as a fist and fell down the glacier, revealing the wolf corpse wrapped inside.
The wolf corpse had long been used as nutrients by Xue Maitreya, and he extracted it unscrupulously all night long.
The once huge body has become unbelievably shriveled, and the skin is ulcerated.
Without the support of Xue Maitreya, the wolf corpse swayed feebly on the ice wall twice, and then fell down.
"Be careful, no one can say for sure if there is nothing else down there."
"In short, be careful and you won't make a big mistake!" Hu Ming turned over and jumped off the back of the knife. Hold on to the rope to stabilize your body.
After the Snow Maitreya melted, the faint sense of danger subsided.
But despite this, Hu Ming did not dare to be careless.
God knows if something dangerous will pop up.
The nine-story demon tower itself is very demonic!
Not long after, the group of people had successfully and safely arrived at the top of the nine-story demon tower.
This is covered with a layer of blue ice, and most of the tower is buried deep in the glacier.
Only this part of the tower top is exposed in the cracks.
Without further ado, ginger juice is still the way to go.
After waiting for a few minutes, the ice layer on the top of the tower was dug through before the engineers shoveled it.
The skeleton of the nine-story demon tower is built with materials similar to Qilian juniper.
It is a structure of square wood, round wood and rammed earth.
This place is covered by glaciers all year round and knows how to make porcelain solid.
But fortunately there were so many people, it didn’t take long to open a big hole in the top of the tower.
Hand down the rock climbing station, everyone entered one after another.
On the top floor, there is a huge ice disk occupying a huge space in the center of the small space.
The ice tray is transparent and has a wolf-headed statue carved on it.
That is a statue of a military commander with the head of a wolf and the body of a man wearing battle armor.
"If you ask me, we won't keep any news."
"Since we have reached the inside of the demon tower, we might as well dig through it in one go!"
"According to the Whatever secrets there are about the customs passed down from ancient times in Western Xinjiang should be at the bottom!"
Hu Ming pondered for a moment and then suggested something.
In his intuition, he has not found any danger yet.
"Okay, Mingzi, I've been waiting for your words!"
Hearing this, Fatty and Hu Bayi immediately became happy and entered the nine-story demon tower. My hands have been itching for a long time.
Now that Hu Ming has spoken, several people can no longer bear it.
He immediately swung his engineer shovel and smashed it towards the ice tray in the center.
What a wolf-headed statue, they don’t believe it!
At this time, Lei Xianming waved the reincarnation sect scroll in his hand, as if he had something to say.
