Chapter 291 Ice Abyss
Everyone rested on the gentle slope for about half an hour, ate some food to keep away the cold, and then set off again.
This sloping permafrost tunnel extends underground in all directions and is as dense as a spider web. Chen Yulou is at the very back. Every time he turns a corner, he marks the passage.
The main road and side roads of this tunnel are clearly layered. As people keep going down the main road, they can see some spells, marks, and eyeball patterns from time to time.
Not long after, everyone stopped in front of the Ice Abyss. Once there, there was no way.
The ice abyss is not too deep, and the bottom can be seen with the naked eye.
In the deepest part, there are countless dots of light blue fluorescence, which converge into a shimmering river, meandering under the glacier.
Everyone couldn't help but admire the beauty of this scene, which is rare in their lives.
The only pity is that the way forward is cut off.
There are still some ruins of broken wood at the entrance of the tunnel. There may have been a wooden bridge leading down a long time ago, but it has collapsed over time.
Chen Yulou visually measured the height. The bottom of the glacier was a hundred meters away from the fluorescent river. He was not sure about this height.
He turned around and asked Partridge Whistle: "Second brother, how are you doing? Are you sure?"
The partridge whistle didn't answer for a while. He held a flashlight and probed the terrain under the ice abyss, trying to find a safe way.
"This ice wall is slipperier than a mirror. If you are not confident, let's find another passage. Anyway, there are so many branches in the tunnel behind, so there must be other exits."
Jin Abacus is not sure about letting Partridge Whistle take risks, after all, he is his nephew.
The Jiang siblings stretched their heads and looked down. Although the scenery was beautiful, they felt dizzy when they thought of climbing down.
"Nothing."
The partridge whistler is a man of great courage. Although the ice wall is smooth and steep, it cannot stop him.
After taking Chen Yulou's small sword, Partridge Whistle tied the Sky-Diamond Rope around his waist, and then turned over and climbed down the ice wall.
When they got to the bottom, Partridge Whistle discovered that the ice wall was slippery and there seemed to be no friction at all.
Partridge Whistle's body fell rapidly, and he quickly took out the small magic blade and inserted it into the ice wall to slow down.
The speed slowed down, but the ice wall under his feet was fragile, and a large piece fell off. Seeing this, Partridge Whistle quickly stepped on the ice wall and pulled away.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yulou's worried voice came from above.
"It's okay, go back to the slope and don't stand outside."
Partridge whistled in response, knowing that although the ice wall here is hard on the outside, there may be various cracks inside, and excessive external force may cause the ice wall to collapse.
The small sharp edge is too sharp and cannot be used.
Partridge Whistle had no choice but to insert the small Shenfeng into his leather boots, pull the mechanism on his arm, revealing a row of metal barbs, and flexibly climbed over the ice wall.
Jiang Chanyi saw the partridge whistle hanging on the ice with its arms and climbing like a monkey on the ice wall, so she curiously asked.
"What does Brother Partridge Whistle use?"
Jin Abacus explained patiently: "This thing is called Dizi Mountain Climbing Armor. It is a scale armor made of earth shark skin. It is unique to the mountain-moving leader. You can't see it clearly here. In fact, my nephew's arm is
There is a thin and tough stainless steel hook hidden on it. With the help of the digger, the climbing armor can climb on the cliffs as if it were on flat ground."
Only then did Jiang Chanyi understand the mystery, and was amazed in her heart.
There were partridge whistles paving the way, and soon, everyone descended into the ice abyss one after another.
The water flow under the ice abyss is gentle, not deep, and the water quality is extremely clear, reaching the height of everyone's calves.
There are many freshwater jellyfish and crystals in the water, and they emit fluorescence.
Partridge Whistle knew that large gatherings of jellyfish were very dangerous, so he asked everyone to stay away from the river and walk as close to the shallows as possible.
But these jellyfish seem to have seen strangers, gathered together, and followed them wherever the crowd went.
There seemed to be no shoals on the road ahead, so he had to tread water to move forward, but Chen Yulou had no choice but to muddy the river water and disperse the swarms of jellyfish.
Jiang Chanyi also took this opportunity to pick up many beautiful crystals from the water.
She didn't give up until she couldn't fit it in her backpack.
The river valley seemed to have no end. Everyone walked along the direction of the water and found a cave under the cliff covered with crystal stones.
The entrance to the cave is spacious and neat, with traces of manual work.
Chen Yulou turned on the flashlight and looked inside. There was a cave of crystal light. It seemed that there were transparent crystals in the cave.
But the deeper parts seem to be extremely winding and deep, making it difficult to see the depth.
"Let's rest here for the night. It's already dark outside." Chen Yulou suggested.
Everyone nodded and prepared to set up camp.
The cave is not like a place where wild animals roam, but for safety reasons, Chen Yulou and Jin Abacus are still prepared to go deep into the cave to investigate.
After going five or six meters deep and turning a corner, the space behind it was more than twenty square meters. This seemed to be more suitable for camping, so Jin Abacus called everyone over and changed the camping place.
Then Chen Yulou and Jin Abacus continued to go deeper. The stone pillars in the cave were rugged and the high ground was uneven. Not long after walking, they came to an open area again.
The two of them looked around with flashlights and found some ancient stone platforms on the ground. There were also white and withered cow heads in the corners, and there were black humanoid wooden statues on the stone platforms.
Jin Abacus said: "This is probably the place where demons worship."
Chen Yulou nodded.
Afterwards, the two searched for a while and returned to the camp after finding nothing.
Everyone didn't bring much fuel, so they could only simply heat the cans and eat them.
After the meal, Chen Yulou looked at the small amount of food in the ring space and felt helpless. How could this Jiang boy eat so well? It seemed that he had to control the distribution of food for the next meal and not waste any more.
Jiang Yu, who was seriously injured, burped with satisfaction. He had no idea that his next meal would be arranged.
Jiang Chanyi was separated from the rest of the men and women, and was given a separate tent and many blankets.
Late at night, when everyone was feeling sleepy, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle took turns keeping watch.
The first half of the night was uneventful, but in the second half of the night, trivial sounds came from around the cave wall, as if something was drilling inside the wall.
The partridge whistle that kept watch at night immediately opened its eyes and woke everyone up.
"Where did this sound come from?"
Chen Yulou tried to identify the source of the sound, but the sound seemed to come from all directions and could not be located.
The partridge sentry stabbed the small sharp edge into one side of the stone wall.
The stone wall seemed to be empty, and a big hole was soon dug out by the partridge whistle.
Everyone used flashlights to illuminate it, and a green vine was revealed.
The vine seems to be alive and is still shaking slightly. It turns out that it was the one that was rubbing against the wall just now.
This green vine has phototaxis and slowly moves towards the golden abacus’ flashlight.
Jin Abacus was not in a hurry, and leaned the flashlight forward. He saw the vine stopped in front of the flashlight light, and suddenly the buds poured out, and a red flower as big as the mouth of a bowl bloomed.
