The wind howled, and a layer of snow had already accumulated on the ice. Knight walked on it with one deep foot and one shallow foot, closely following Wen Tao in front.

Charlie tried to search for Snow's smell, but all he could smell was cold, and as Wen Tao said, he couldn't smell anything.

It was dark all around, and after walking for more than ten minutes, but still couldn't find Snow, Charlie became more and more anxious, and threw himself into Knight's ear and shouted: "Did he fall into the ice crevasse?"

They went out and checked all the crevasses near the camp. Most of them were shallow and narrow, and even if Snow really fell into it, he would be easily illuminated by the light.

What concerned Knight was that Snow had absolutely no reason to leave camp and walk into the snowstorm, unless he suddenly went mad.She worried that there might be other reasons for Snow's disappearance.

Wen Tao led them to search in front of and behind several ice walls, and shouted very worriedly: "I can't go any further, there are more and more ice cracks ahead."

Knight was not reconciled: "Look for it again, you can't just go back like this."

The closer you are to the Great Ice Valley, the more dangerous it is.Wen Tao roared: "No, there is almost no ice wall in front of us as a reference, and I'm afraid you won't even be able to find the camp if you walk any further."

He didn't say any more, turned around and walked back, which meant that it doesn't matter whether you go or not, I'm going back anyway.

Knight turned around and stared at Wen Tao's back, feeling a dull pain in the cracked bone, and dared not take a big breath.She stood and adjusted her breath, and followed in the direction Wen Tao left.

Wen Tao is a local, with little altitude sickness, and walked very fast. Knight had to speed up, staring at the back that was getting farther and farther away in the wind and snow.

Suddenly, Wen Tao's figure disappeared in a flash.Charlie rubbed his eyes: "Hey, where are people?"

Knight ran over quickly, only to find Wen Tao slumped on the snow when he got close.Charlie burst out laughing with a "poof": "This fall on the flat ground is really beautiful."

Nate frowned.This authoritative guide fell down for no reason, probably passed out.She was about to step forward to check, when Wen Tao's body suddenly moved.

Nate breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay."

Wen Tao didn't answer, but kept trembling.Charlie felt something was wrong: "What's wrong with him?"

As soon as the words fell, a "tail" protruded from between Wen Tao's legs.

"Wow!" Charlie grabbed Nate's shoulders, "Did you see it, did you see it!"

The tail was white, and it was extremely difficult to identify in the snowstorm. If it wasn't for Knight's flashlight shining on Wen Tao, he might not have seen it at all.The thing is nearly one meter long, with a section-by-section structure and a certain arc. At first glance, it looks like a human spine.

Charlie covered his mouth in astonishment: "Wen Tao's spine fell out!"

Knight took out his gun and said, "Shut up."

Although before entering the glacier, the guide repeatedly emphasized not to shoot, so as not to cause an avalanche.But Knight never leaves his gun, even as a lucky charm.But in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she installed a silencer.

The "spine" swayed and quickly retracted into the snow. Knight became tense and kept an eye on his feet.After a long time, there was no movement, so she rushed over and turned Wen Tao over.

His eyes were closed tightly, and he didn't know whether he was fainted or dead. Nate slapped him several times. He barely opened his eyes and uttered the word "snow demon", and then collapsed loosely and completely.

Only then did Knight realize that a large amount of blood was flowing from under his coat, staining the snow beneath him scarlet.She tore off Wen Tao's coat, found a blood hole in his abdomen, and almost stabbed him through.

Charlie shivered: "This... this, what's going on, isn't the snow demon and ice ghost a legend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another "spine" stood up in the snowdrift nearby, and it was quickly approaching them.Only then did they discover that there was a sharp hook at the end of the thing, which looked like a large scorpion tail. No wonder it easily opened a hole in Wen Tao's body.

Knight shot the bottom of the thing, and the "spine" fell over.There was only a shrill hiss resounding through the night sky, and a strange thing sprang out from under the snow.

Its whole body is white like a human bone, and its body is covered with layers of shells or scales. Its body is as thick and thin as a python, with a pair of claws growing under its chest and abdomen.

The pain of the broken tail made it go crazy, and its two claws quickly crawled towards the two of them, opening its mouth to reveal three rows of sharp teeth.Knight immediately shot. Unexpectedly, the monster's body was extremely hard. After being hit by bullets, it staggered a few times, and rushed over unrelentingly.

Charlie held his head and screamed, and Knight threw him far away, and rushed towards the monster's mouth, and stuffed the muzzle of the gun into its mouth. After three gunshots, the monster stopped thumping.

Charlie, still in shock, sat on the snow panting.Knight picked up the monster's tail and looked at it. The hook at the end was very sharp and the whole body was hard. She probably hit the weak point where the tail was connected to the monster's body by luck just now, otherwise it would be difficult to break it off easily.

"Nate..." Charlie whispered.

Knight didn't hear it clearly, so he turned over the monster's body and checked it. He really couldn't figure out what the hell it was, it looked like a snake and a scorpion, and it was still so hard.

Charlie: "Nate!"

Knight said impatiently: "What's the name, isn't this monster dead?"

Charlie wanted to cry, but pointed behind her in despair.Nat turned his head to look, and his heart suddenly became cold.

The ice field behind them seems to have turned into a cemetery, with "spines" protruding from the snow, shaking and trembling just waiting for an opportunity——

In the haze, Du Leding felt as if someone was crying, and the tears fell on his face, turning into white smoke.He thought his face had melted, he struggled to open his eyes, the top of his head was pitch black, and his eyes were filled with white.

The snowflakes fell on his face and soon turned into snow water.He was not very conscious and called out "Little Susu" before realizing that he was not in the tent.

But he is moving.

He lay on the snow, raised his head and looked at his feet, and there was a trail of snow where he passed.His body was so hot that he unzipped the zipper and turned his head to look back. A white thing was hooking his collar.

He woke up in an instant, broke free from his jacket and jumped up, the guy who was hooking him and snaking on the ground suddenly turned around, showing his mouth full of fangs and pounced on him.

Du Leding squinted his eyes against the wind and snow, and grabbed the monster's neck—if the place under the head that was as thick as the body could be called the neck.

The monster's tail bent, and the sharp point pierced him between the eyes.Du Leding threw it out, his gaze suddenly flickered, and the Celestial Spinning Body started to spin.

As soon as the two claws of the monster hit the ground, it pounced again, knocked Du Leding to the ground, and opened its mouth to bite his head.

In desperation, Du Le Ding stuffed his hands into its mouth, grasping the upper jaw with his left hand and the lower jaw with his right hand, gritting his teeth and holding on desperately.The monster was extremely powerful, and it was assisted by its tail. Du Leding dodged left and right, suddenly a violent anger arose in his heart, and he snapped his hands fiercely, tearing the monster's upper and lower jaws and tearing off half of its head.

Scarlet warm blood sprayed all over his face and body, he shook off the monster's head and body, and struggled to get up from the ground.It was freezing cold, and the blood plasma on his body quickly condensed into ice. He was wearing a thin T-shirt, and he didn't feel cold at all.

He subconsciously licked the blood on the corner of his mouth, and the cold bloody smell made him inexplicably excited.Looking around, he was dragged into a forest of ice towers. The ice towers of different shapes are tens of meters high, and there are ice lakes and ice ditches scattered among them, like a natural labyrinth.

After a while, his sight stopped shaking, his thoughts and consciousness seemed to be separated from his body, his brain stopped working, but his body's senses became extremely sharp.

The blurred outlines and shadows in the wind and snow gradually became clear, and the smell of blood on the ground kept pounding his nostrils, making him feel restless, and there was a constant impulse in his body—an impulse to tear something apart.

Not far ahead was an ice-free lake. He walked over quickly, squatted by the water and dipped his hands into the icy water, staring blankly at the water surface in a daze.

The water of the lake is icy blue, clear and transparent. Under the water surface, the silhouettes of roofs and mythical beasts are faintly emerging, which seems to be the roof of a temple.

Du Leding washed off the plasma on his face, then leaned forward, inexplicably wanting to get into the water, when he suddenly smelled a familiar smell from the cold wind.He raised his head greedily to catch the faint breath, turned around and walked out of the ice tower forest.

"Snow!" Zhou Ruxu shouted loudly, but his voice was swallowed by the wind in a blink of an eye.

Rong Cuo took out a small jug from his arms and took a few sips to stop Zhou Ruxu from yelling: "It's useless, except for the snow demon and the ice ghost, no one can hear your voice."

Su Teng: "Mr. Rong, is there any basis for this legend? Are there dangerous creatures on the glacier?"

Rongcuo explained: "There is a reason why the wolves do not want to go deep into the glacier. A long time ago, there was a creature called Xuejiao in this area, which is the legendary snow monster. They appear elusive when it snows. When the base was built nearby, almost all the snow dragons were killed, and there has been no sign of them surviving in recent years."

Su Teng felt that there was a flaw in these words: "After the army and the base disappeared, no one would go to the Great Ice Valley anymore. How do you know that the Xuejiao is completely extinct?"

Rong Cuo glanced at him, and said with a rough smile: "Anyway, when the army was there, all the snow dragons disappeared. Maybe some of them hid deep in the ice crevasses, in ice caves under the ice layer. If that's the case, We have to be careful, maybe your friend was dragged away by Xue Jiao."

Zhou Ruxu's heart seemed to have been frozen and stopped beating.He covered his chest and said with difficulty: "What about the ice ghost?"

"Well," Rong Cuo restrained his smile and said tensely, "That thing... I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Wolves are afraid of snow dragons, and snow dragons are afraid of ice ghosts. It can be seen that ice ghosts are the masters of glaciers, the most powerful thing .”

Zhou Ruxu wanted to ask more details, but suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell downwards.Su Teng and Rong Cuo had quick eyes and quick hands, each grabbed his arm and hung him in the air.

Zhou Ruxu felt cold from head to toe in an instant, looking down tremblingly, there was a long and narrow crevasse in the ice, bottomless.After being pulled up, he knelt on the snow and gasped for breath, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.

The sky was too dark, and the wind and snow covered his eyes. Maybe Snow fell somewhere as he was walking, and the sky should not be called the earth.Thinking of him being in a dangerous situation and not knowing whether to live or die, Zhou Ruxu's heart felt like a knife was twisted, his eyelashes became wet in an instant, and a layer of frost hung on them in an instant.

Su Teng turned on the brightness of the flashlight to the maximum, and shined it into the crevice of the ice. The ice surface was smooth and steep, and the crevice was so deep that it could not be illuminated to the bottom.He pulled out the rope and the retainer and said, "I'll go down and have a look."

Rongcuo stopped him: "The ice layer under this kind of particularly deep ice crevasse is unstable, and accidents are easy to happen."

Su Teng placed the fixer in a suitable position, and turned on the automatic piling and fixing function: "I walked all the way, only this ice crevice can't see the bottom, just in case my friend..."

"Are you sure your friend really walked this far?" Rong Cuo interrupted Su Teng, "What is he doing hundreds of meters away from the camp in this weather?"

Su Teng also doubted that it was impossible for Snow to come here by himself, but if he didn't search for any possible places, he couldn't feel at ease.

During the dispute, Zhou Ruxu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly shouted: "There is a person over there!"

The three flashlights chased after them, only to see a face on the cliff in the ice crevice, looking up suspiciously as if hearing their voices.

That face flashed under the strong light and then disappeared. Zhou Ruxu thought he was dazzled by the flying snowflakes the size of his palm, but the other two also saw it clearly. The scene just now was definitely not an illusion.

That face does not belong to Snow, nor does it belong to any one of them. Zhou Ruxu was full of doubts: "How could there be people in that kind of place?"

Su Teng grabbed the rope: "I'll go down and have a look."

Rongcuo couldn't stop him, so he had to let him enter the narrow ice crevasse.

The anchor slowly lengthened the rope, and Su Teng stepped on the ice with his feet and gradually descended. The lights fixed on his shoulders were reflected by the ice, making his eyes glow golden.He turned off the light, but he could see it more clearly.

Rong Cuo said on the top, "Why did you turn off the flashlight?"

Zhou Ruxu pushed away Rongcuo's downward flashlight: "His eyes are good, but the light is too strong and it won't work."

Rong Cuo muttered, "It's really evil."

In the dark gap, there is only the shrill sound of the wind, which makes people feel restless.Su Teng descended to the position where the human face appeared just now, paused the machine and looked behind him, meeting a pair of gloomy gazes unexpectedly.

He pulled out the ice ax hanging from his boot so quickly that he was almost chipping away at the ice when he suddenly realized that the face was behind the ice.

Zhou Ruxu looked into the ice crevice very worriedly, Su Teng was hanging on the rope and didn't know what he was doing.He shouted: "What did you find? Did you find the person just now?"

Su Teng: "There are many corpses in the ice, the one we saw just now may be one of them."

When he said this, he didn't quite believe it himself.Although there are corpses frozen in the ice below, they cannot be seen from above.So the face they saw before was not in the ice layer, and probably protruded from a certain gap.

Do humans hide in places like that?

He was looking into a nearby crack when he heard voices from above, and it sounded like something was happening.He looked up and asked, "What happened?"

Soon, someone poked his head out from above the crack in the ice, and it turned out to be Du Leding.

Su Teng was taken aback, and shouted angrily: "Why are you here? Didn't you let you rest in the tent... Where are your clothes?"

Du Leding's expression was a bit weird, his eyes were fixed on Su Teng with fanaticism and excitement, but he remained silent.

Zhou Ruxu took off his coat and put it on Du Leding: "You found it all the way from the camp? It's a miracle that you didn't freeze to death."

Du Le Ding looked over with a strange expression, Zhou Ruxu shuddered with his eyes, and felt a sense of fear of being targeted as a prey.He suspected that Du Le Ding was frozen stupid, and hurriedly urged Su Teng to come up and send Du Le Ding back.

Su Teng took another look at the corpses on the opposite side, and started the machine to rise slowly.The rope had just been retracted less than one meter when a person fell from the top of his head.He reached out to grab it, but was in a hurry. When he looked up, Du Le Ding was looking down intently, as if to make sure that the person had fallen into the bottom of the ice crevasse, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
