Chapter 048 Ice Cave

I suddenly remembered the story of the evil mother that Ran Xu told me under the Dragon Burial Pit. Among all the methods of eternal life, only the method of attaining enlightenment through the evil mother requires a very huge sacrifice, and will eventually become The appearance of humans and ghosts is what I call "insect symptoms" in my heart. In fact, there is no such species in the world. After thinking about it, I know that there are no exceptions in the world of cause and effect. Once I understand this, I can naturally Look away a lot.

When I saw the mural of Ni Mu, I heard from Ran Xu that the painting was broken and that its original appearance should be mainly red and yellow, which symbolized that Ni Mu had been tempered by countless karma and had transcended reincarnation. Si Weiqi had told about the legend of the Demon King at the time. Later, according to Ran Xu, it was confirmed that almost all of it was fabricated. Of course, this legend had been designed from the beginning. Although there was no such thing as a Demon King, in the legend of the Evil Mother , that fictional country was called the "Demon Country".

Suddenly, there was a scream.

I saw one of Oulan's men standing on a steep slope, his body frozen in ice. Before I could rescue him, he fell from the top and broke into pieces. This kind of death is something that no one has ever seen before. I subconsciously took a few steps back and saw an ice crystal-like butterfly flying out of the ice cave, flapping its wings as blue as the ocean, translucent, When the wings flap, crystal powder will be scattered, making half a circle in the air, fluttering and flying towards the nearest me.

There is no doubt that this butterfly is the ancient black ice butterfly described in the mural.

I threw myself on the ground and took in the sight of the man's tragic death. I knew that this ancient black ice butterfly was not someone to be taken lightly, so I didn't dare to neglect him at the moment. The dim cave was slightly illuminated by the tracer light of ancient butterflies. At this time, I shot a flying knife and shot down the ancient butterfly in the air.

"Lin Kun, are you okay?" Si Weiqi immediately helped me up.

"fine."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that although the ancient black ice butterfly was hit and shattered into more than a dozen small ice crystals in the air and fell to the ground, it was not completely dead. After squirming a few times, it actually gave birth to wings again. .

"Your sister." I opened my eyes wide, took a breath, and said, "No wonder you want to hide Ye Heping in this damn place. These ancient butterflies seem to be monsters. Just one of them almost wiped out our entire army. If there are more than a dozen of them, we may die without a burial place in this narrow ice cave."

"Don't be as ambitious as others!" Si Weiqi said as she took out a small powder packet from her pocket, crushed it and sprinkled it into the air. I had seen this trick before and knew that Si Weiqi was going to burn these ancient butterflies with dust, so Step aside immediately.

Si Weiqi sprinkled the powder bag, unscrewed the fire folding bag, and threw it into the air. There was a "boom" and a blaze of fire passed by.

I fully thought that this fire could burn the Ancient Black Ice Butterfly to pieces, but the most unexpected thing happened. I saw the Ancient Black Ice Butterfly on the ground. Its body suddenly changed from a flickering blue color to a fiery red color. Its body was still transparent, and even the blood vessels in its body could be clearly seen.

"What the hell is this?" I was horrified to see it, and the veins on my forehead were popping. The terrifying aura spread to every corner in an instant. Although all I smelled in my nose was the burning aura of flames, my body But he felt so cold that he was almost completely suffocated.

"尐歾鬼蛉." At this time, I heard Si Weiqi speak a dialect that even I couldn't understand. Si Weiqi spoke standard Mandarin, and suddenly changed to the authentic Wuyue dialect. There is a mystery in it. Inside, it’s just that I’m elusive for the moment.

"What the hell?" I looked at Si Weiqi in confusion.

"I only heard Uncle Seven speak once. This is a kind of monster insect in the ancient Vietnamese language. It lives in the black ice, and its body turns into ice when it touches it. This thing does not die when exposed to fire, but can change its shape and become a fire insect. , and burn it to ashes."

In the ancient Yue language, the ghost flies (note 1) are monster insects that emerge from the underground demon kingdom and cause harm to the world. These monster insects are not afraid of water and fire, and have evil power that can crush the souls of ordinary people. The ghost flies are transformed from the ancient black ice butterflies when they encounter fire. The ancient black ice butterflies live in the black ice all year round and rarely appear in the human world. Unless the world is in chaos and evil obstacles are rampant, they will wake up. Their whole bodies look like Transparent crystal, the wings are even more crystal clear. When dancing in the air, they are like tiny sparkling ice crystals, which can instantly freeze anyone who comes in contact with them into frost, and then shatter into ice dust. However, once they encounter fire, they will turn into ghost flies. They emit blue flames that are absolutely impossible to extinguish if a person comes into contact with them, and will be instantly burned to ashes.

A dozen or so ghost flies on the ground have already circled and flown up, setting off eerie blue tracers in the dark space. They will soon disperse and pounce forward.

"Sister Qi, what should I do?" I ran out of ideas.

At this suffocating moment, Si Weiqi made several bold decisions. She took out a handful of peach sawdust from her pocket and sprinkled it on the ground. Those ghost flies really liked this trick. When they encountered the peach sawdust, they stayed in place for a while, not daring to cross the thunder pond even half a step.

Seizing the opportunity, I hurriedly signaled to Si Weiqi and asked her to rush out with Ou Lan. The space in this ice cave is very large. No one can tell exactly where Ye Heping was hidden in the corner of Gada, but what is certain is that it is no longer safe to be blind here. This ghost fly suddenly turns ice and fire, and it is not In common sense, fire and ice seem to be the energy brought back from hell by the souls of the dead. They cannot deal with it at all. They can only retreat while trying to find the opponent's weaknesses.

"Professor Ou, there will be no way out below, you have to think clearly!" Si Weiqi said to Ou Lan.

"I know this very well, but if I can't find peace, I won't go back!"

"Sister Qi, hurry up!"

Si Weiqi pulled Ou Lan and rushed out quickly, but the peach sawdust she left behind was not a long-term solution. The ghost flies were not afraid of the peach sawdust, but they were unfamiliar with it and were at a loss for a while. , so they stopped attacking. Once they realized that the peach wood chips were not a threat to them, they would start attacking.

I didn't dare to neglect and immediately climbed to the bottom. In this secret base buried deep under the floating corpse courtyard, there is such an ice cave made of thousands of years of black ice. No one would have thought of it unless they saw it with their own eyes. The further you go, the thicker the ice inside, and the less obvious the artificial traces are. Once you go deeper, you will have the illusion that you have entered a world of ice and snow, and everything is covered with ice. Strictly.

"We have to speed up. The temperature here is very low and we won't last long." Si Weiqi reminded.

"Where is Professor Ye?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise above his head, and a large piece of ice and snow fell down. I happened to be standing underneath. Thanks to Si Weiqi's quick eyesight and quick hands, I was pushed. Even so, I was still hit.

I hurriedly ducked back and looked at the fallen things. There were two holes on a large piece of crystal clear ice. When I looked up, I found two barbs on it. The ice should have passed through the barbs. hanging on it. Thousand-year-old ice is extremely special and difficult to melt, so as long as it is hidden underground without refrigeration equipment, it can be guaranteed to last for thousands of years.

"Sister Qi, look."

I suddenly found two or three yellow and blue cables exposed above my head. Since there is no need for refrigeration equipment in the ice cave, there is no need to think too much. These cables must lead to the place where Ye Heping is imprisoned.

Ou Lan was overjoyed. He followed the cable and found Ye Heping naturally without any effort. Sure enough, after searching for a long time, I found that the cable was connected to an ice wall. There must be a cave behind this ice wall. Both I and Si Weiqi were able to handle this kind of thing easily. Si Weiqi was able to figure out the details of the mechanism. After a little fiddle, the ice wall sunk into a large area, and then it rose. Going up, an entrance appeared.

"opened!"

A few people went in and took a look, and saw a cage suddenly appearing in the white ice cave. This cage was suspended in mid-air by iron. Once they saw the person in the cage, they knew that it was the peace we were looking for.

Ou Lan was so lovesick that before he had time to look at her a second time, he had already pounced on her. At this time, a sound of wings vibrating suddenly came from the cage. I was frightened out of my mind by the sound, and I felt like the hair on my body was covered with frost. He immediately followed the sound and didn't expect that there was an ancient black ice butterfly hovering above Ye Heping's head.

This ancient butterfly with its dark blue scale wings is about to fly out carrying evil power that can freeze the soul. Ou Lan knew that if he approached rashly, it would definitely lead to tragedy. As long as Gu Die touched Ye Heping even slightly, he would be shattered into mist-like ice dust just like his subordinate.

Si Weiqi was worried about Ou Lan's safety and was just about to step forward to pull her back. Unexpectedly, a red light suddenly flashed on the ground and pierced into her eyes. When she lowered her head, she saw that a group of fiery red ghost flies had already appeared. Surrounded Oulan. And the ancient black ice butterfly braving the cold light, like a silver whirlwind like ice chips, flew out of the cage and rushed towards Oulan.

But at this moment, Xuan Bing Gu Die suddenly stopped in the air, not as neatly as he killed Ou Lan's men. I vaguely felt something was wrong, but the distance between life and death at this moment was thinner than a hair. My mind was completely blurred and I couldn't figure out what was going on. There was only one thought in my mind, and that was to save people.

Lin Kun shouted, "Squat down!"

"Sister Qi, save Professor Ou and leave Heping to me!"

After saying that, the two of them jumped out together.

The Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly failed to succeed in one blow and used all its strength to deal with me. At this time, Si Weiqi was able to break Oulan's siege first. Fortunately, Na Shi's ghost was not very fast. After Si Weiqi rescued Ou Lan, she quickly dodged, which did not seem difficult. On the other side, I have also opened the cage. Perhaps the person who kidnapped Ye Heping did not expect that anyone could take people away from this ice cave. The cage chain was not locked.

With Ye Heping, who was sleeping heavily, on my back, I ran away. Although the Xuanbing Ancient Butterfly chased after us, it failed to catch up with us in the end. Si Weiqi gave Ye Heping a shot of the cardiotonic drug she had prepared in advance, finally bringing him to life. Seeing him open his eyes, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
