Chapter 138 45 The Ice-Knocking Man and the Tongueless Thing [Two in One]

Chapter 138 45. The Man Who Knocked the Ice and the Tongueless Thing [Two in One]

Zheng Yun and others looked around in the space. Except for the attic in front, half of the surrounding area was rock walls and the other half was ice. This kind of terrain must have been specially found by the ancients.

There is no danger in sight.

There is nothing in the six-meter-high mezzanine except the attic, and there are no other entrances and exits on the ice walls.

The only way forward was the frozen attic ahead, with two floors not frozen by the ice.

Shine the flashlight down into the attic.

There are many impurities in the ice layer under the feet, and the texture is not very transparent, but you can vaguely see that there are at least several attics in the ice layer, and I don't know where it leads to.

The same goes for looking up.

This attic may have ten floors up and down. The main body is made of stone, with stone carved beams and brackets and decorations. The whole body is dark in color, and the architectural style is very sinister.

Zheng Yun looked from a distance.

The color of the attic is a bit strange. Black stone is actually not common. Either similar stone is produced locally, or it has been smoked by fire, similar to the bow glacier.

"Master Xian, the sound is from below. It seems that the scientific expedition team has entered." Ji Dao pointed his flashlight at the ground.

There were many traces of people walking on the ice beneath their feet, which could confirm that people with modern equipment had entered.

Then they didn't come out.

There are several problems here. The scientific expedition team fired a rescue shot at Broken Ice Lake, but they did not pass by Broken Ice Lake on their way here. Until now, the altitude is not up to par.

The broken ice lake and the glacier behind him should be about the same height. In other words, the broken ice lake is still under the attic.

Maybe you have to go into the attic to get to the Icebreaker Lake.

But since they could go to Shattered Ice Lake, why not retrace their steps and escape along the way they came in?

What made them all enter the attic, and none of them could get out, so they had to keep going deeper to find their way?

And the body that went out along the river before. Where did he fall into the river? It shouldn't be here.

Recalling the previous clues, Song Wan said that the video from twenty years ago was found from the corpses of the archaeological team. The corpses of the archaeological team were frozen into ice and flowed to the outside world...

"Master Immortal, this attic is our sea guard's route. This is our sea guard's place." Ji Dao scanned the attic up and down, then turned to Zheng Yun and whispered.

"Can I come in?" Zheng Yun asked.

It is Triton's place that is even more dangerous. Who knows what weird things Triton has done here.

"I don't think it's a big problem. The ruins left by our sea guards have codes and marks that only the sea guards can understand. If we encounter a dangerous death door, there will definitely be a reminder."

Ji Dao took the flashlight and scanned it up and down again, and continued to Zheng Yun: "Master Immortal, this place is different from the Pregnant Demon Tower. The Pregnant Demon Tower was restarted by someone with ulterior motives. This place should not exist." Such things still retain their original appearance, and the path to life and death is clear.”

"It's Triton rules."

"This place is built with such grandeur and importance. Even if it's the treasonous supervisor of the Sea Guard, he has to act according to the rules. Besides, the probability of treason in such an important place is not high."

After listening to Jidao's words, Zheng Yun also felt that this was indeed the case. Haiwei's rules were strict, and even the Pregnant Demon Tower had secret passages that people could walk through, allowing people to escape.

That being the case.

Then go in and take a look.

The ghost general strode forward to the attic, followed closely by Zheng Yun and Jidao. They carefully walked to the door of the attic, raised the flashlight and shined inside, but saw that the attic was empty.

There are no furnishings.

There's just a big hole in the middle.

There is an iron rope fence around the entrance of the cave, about five meters long and wide. There are many modern backpacks and supplies placed next to the iron rope. Looking around, you can also see tents and other items in the corners.

This is what the scientific expedition team left behind.

I walked to the iron chain fence and looked down. I saw a deep hollow below, about three or four stories up to the bottom. There was some sound of water and a continuous sound of ice being knocked.

Each floor of the four-story attic has the same layout, and seems to have roads that can lead to other places.

The scientific expedition team used rock climbing ropes to go down. The ropes hung down to the bottom, and it was impossible to tell which layer they went to via the ropes.

Zheng Yun wanted to shout and ask if there was anyone alive, but he was afraid of violating Han Xian's taboo, so he could only reason through details.

"It seems to be on the second floor."

Noriichi guessed based on the sound.

Zheng Yun raised his flashlight and took a look, and then he discovered that the attic was actually roofless. There were two or three attics above, but there was also a large square hole in the center of the dome.

This hole extends straight to the highest point, the height is shocking, probably hundreds of meters high, like a star-gazing pavilion, but the highest point seems to be a dead end, with no access to the outside world.

"What is this attic used for?"

Zheng Yun turned to look at Ji Dao with doubts in his eyes.

He had never heard of this type of attic, and he couldn't understand why it had a hole running through it.

"Master Immortal, I don't know either. I have never seen this kind of building in ancient books. It may have a special function." Jidao also frowned, but no clue could be found no matter how hard he looked.

If this place is the Demon Locking Attic, and the lock is Hanxian, then this hole must have something to do with Hanxian, but the problem is, they can't imagine the reason at all.

"This place is right next to the glacier, but there is only the sound of water at the bottom of this attic. The body that floated out just now should have floated out from other places." Zheng Yun scanned around carefully again, and if he couldn't find the answer, he simply Go down and look.

The ghost will be the first to grab the rope and go down.

Ji Dao and Zheng Yun followed closely behind, quickly sliding down to the second floor to check what was going on there.

The result was unexpected.

Right in front of the second floor of the attic, there was an ice passage, three or four meters high and wide, leading to the depths of the iceberg.

With a flashlight.

They saw irregular ice holes on the left and right walls of the ice passage, and the sound of knocking ice came from their left hands, and there was a very clear panting sound.

These ice holes were very suspicious.

Because Zheng Yun could see a lot of broken ice scattered around the ice cave, which was obviously made later. Maybe it was made by the scientific expedition team, and some professional equipment was used.

What are they doing here?

Could it be that the knocking ice sound is someone digging a hole?

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao looked at each other, walked to the ice cave where the sound came from, looked to the left, and then their pupils shrank.

This narrow ice cave is seven or eight meters deep. When the flashlight shines to the end, it is found that there is nothing in this ice cave, only some residual traces of electric pickaxes. It can be determined that this hole must have been made by the scientific expedition team or the archaeological team.

The ice layer at the end of the line of sight was polished by humans, making a very smooth section. The purpose may be to penetrate the section and observe the situation behind the ice layer.

They did this kind of thing a lot along the way.

But the problem is that there is really a figure behind this section. Through the transparent ice layer, you can see a person smashing the ice, and behind him is a boat.

This person tried to smash through this ice hole, and immediately danced after seeing the flashlights of Ji Dao and Zheng Yun!

The ice layer between them is 20 meters thick, and the vision is hazy. You can't even tell whether he is a man or a woman, a human or a ghost. You only know that he is holding a tool in his hand, and it will not be able to smash through this solid ice layer for a while.

"Master Xian, this person is not right!"

Ji Dao spoke quickly.

Without him saying it, Zheng Yun also felt that the situation was wrong. The sound of this person smashing the ice could be transmitted, but his first reaction when he saw people was not to shout for help?

In addition, there are ancient ships here.

Then these ice holes are likely to be stolen holes made by scientific expedition teams or archaeological teams! They dug holes in the ice one by one, and stopped when they saw the shadow of the ship.

Their target must not be the ancient ship, otherwise they would have dug through these ice holes long ago, instead of changing places halfway through.

It was not an ancient ship.

So what was their target?

They searched for a long time, did they finally dig through an ice hole and create a passage to enter it?

The person inside couldn't get out, does it mean that the scientific expedition team didn't dig through the passage? But if they didn't dig through it, how did this person get in? And was he trapped inside? Where did the scientific expedition team go? Did they go to the depths?

It was too strange.

I couldn't figure it out for a while.

Woo!

A cry sounded.

Zheng Yun was startled by the sound, because this sound was the same as the cry of the forbidden living creature, the 'tongueless creature' that Ji Dao thought was in the crack before.

The cry came from the opposite side.

This person who knocked the ice made this sound. He is probably the tongueless thing mentioned by Ji Dao. Once he is found, he must be notified immediately. The Sea Guard will do everything it can to kill him at all costs!

Because this sound is very strange, it is impossible for a human to make it. The sound is too loud and too weird!

Zheng Yun knows so many people, and I am afraid that only Ji Dao's voice can compare with it, and it makes people's heads numb.

"Hiss, Master Xian, this thing is really a tongueless thing. Where did it come from?" Ji Dao was also shocked.

But he was very brave. Not only did he not retreat, he even walked a few steps into the ice cave, trying to see it more clearly and see what it looks like.

But it is indeed not very dangerous.

This ice layer is not something that this tongueless thing can smash through in a short time, and it looks very strong and can use tools, but it does not seem to have much killing power.

Zheng Yun observed its behavior and speculated that it should be a living creature with flesh and blood, not some kind of god or ghost, and it is a mortal body, not made of steel and iron.

The ghost general can be killed with one knife.

If it doesn't work, just shoot it yourself with bullets.

"Master Xian, it's too weird. There are such living creatures in this place. How can they survive here without food or water? This is too unbelievable." Ji Dao exclaimed.

The Pregnant Demon Tower is in the water after all, and the area is very large. There are always some small fish and shrimps for the sea monsters to prey on.

And the male sea monsters also showed a very obvious characteristic of bringing human corpses back to the Pregnant Demon Tower. They will go out hunting and bring food back to feed the female sea monsters.

But this place is obviously different.

The tongueless creature can't get out of the ice layer. Even if the space in the iceberg is large, there is no way there will be enough food.

"Are you sure it's not a human?"

Zheng Yun still asked.

The shadow at the end of the ice layer kept dancing. It also had two hands, two feet and a head. Its proportions were almost the same as those of a human. At a glance, it felt like a human.

Although its cry was very strange, it was not impossible for someone to do it. What if it was a human, but was attacked or injured in some way and had its tongue pulled out?

"It can't be a human, Master Xian, a human wouldn't cry like that." Ji Dao walked forward a few steps and said.

Zheng Yun was silent.

Then this matter was even more strange.

Behind the thick ice layer, on the left and right of the passage on the second floor of the attic, there is actually a space with an ancient ship and a tongueless creature. Is it related to the ancient ship on the bow iceberg?

How are they connected?

"Master Xian, it can't come out for the time being. Let's go forward and take a look." Ji Dao exited the ice cave, glanced forward, and asked with doubts: "The tongueless creature is calling here, but it can still survive until now. This place may have nothing to do with the Hanxian Cave, otherwise it would have been eaten alive by the Hanxian long ago."

"..."

Zheng Yun was still silent.

At this time, Ji Dao suddenly came to such a conclusion, but instead raised more questions. Since there is no Hanxian, what was the purpose of the archaeological team burning the car twenty years ago?

Why did the Sea Guard build an attic here? Specially guard these tongueless creatures? Didn't they say that they would wipe them all out? Why did they leave seeds? And how did these tongueless creatures reproduce in a very cold place for a hundred years?

"What are the taboos of this tongueless creature? Is there another possibility that the tongueless creature is the Hanxian?" Zheng Yun suddenly spoke out of the blue and made a guess.

"..."

Ji Dao was silent.

He paused for a while before guessing: "The tongueless creature is rarely mentioned in the records, and there is no direct description, but from some details, it can be roughly seen that this thing is widely distributed, and it would be hostile to humans in ancient times."

"As for the cold fairy, this thing is even more mysterious. There is no description of what it looks like in ancient books. Master Xian, it's really hard to say about this matter. I don't have any clues."

"But I feel that it shouldn't be. The tongueless creature is a taboo monster, and the cold fairy is a fairy. It shouldn't be difficult to confuse the two. After all, they are different species."

"Forget it, let's look forward."

Zheng Yun shook his head. It's both a fairy and a monster, and it's also necessary to study the species. This is a debate, and it's impossible to say a conclusion even if you talk all night.

The two continued to move forward.

There are many irregular ice caves on the left and right. It can be clearly seen that the scientific expedition team is looking for something.

I have seen many ice caves in succession.

None of them are connected.

But at the end of four of the ten ice caves, you can see the shadow of an ancient ship through the ice.

These ships may also be linked by iron chains, which is really the same as the linked ancient ships on the iceberg at the bow.

With many questions, several people walked to the end of this passage, and then they suddenly found that the second ice cave on the right was connected, and there were tools of the scientific expedition team on the ground!

Shine the flashlight over.

This ice cave is 30 meters deep and connected to a very narrow path leading to a deeper place.

Seeing this scene.

Zheng Yun suddenly thought of the video from 20 years ago, a group of people squatted in an ice cave, saying that they couldn’t get out, and sent many people out, but none of them came back...

It’s not this cave.

But the environment is very similar!
