Endless route

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 is the ice-covered attic ahead. Two floors are 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 afar.

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. The scientific expedition team seems to have entered." Ji Dao pointed his flashlight at the ground.

On the ice beneath their feet, there were traces of many people walking through it, and it was certain 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 the Broken Ice Lake, but they did not pass by the Broken Ice Lake on their way here. Until now, the altitude is not up to par.

The broken ice lake and the glacier behind it 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 Shattered Ice 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, turned to Zheng Yun and whispered to Zheng Yun.

"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." Things like this still retain their ancient 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 have a look.

The ghost general strode forward towards the attic, followed closely by Zheng Yun and Jidao. They cautiously walked to the door of the attic, raised the flashlight and looked inside, only to see 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.

When 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 to the bottom, and it was impossible to tell which level 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."

Nobuyoshi guessed based on the sound.

Zheng Yun raised the flashlight and took a look, and then he found 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 type of building in ancient books. It may have a special function." Jidao also frowned, but he couldn't find any clues 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 and quickly slid down to around the second floor to see what was going on on the second floor.

The results were unexpected.

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

A dozen flashlights.

They saw irregular ice holes one after another on the left and right walls of the ice channel. The sound of ice tapping came from their left hands, and there was a very clear sound of breathing.

These ice caves are very suspicious.

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

What are they doing making holes here?

Could it be that the sound of knocking on the ice 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 was shined to the end, it was found that there was nothing in the ice cave except for some residual electric pick marks. It was certain that this hole must have been dug by a scientific expedition team or an archaeological team.

The ice layer at the end of the sight has been artificially polished to create a very smooth section. The purpose may be to penetrate the section and observe the situation behind the ice layer.

They have done this kind of thing all the way.

But the problem is, there is really a figure behind this section. Looking through the transparent ice, you can see a man smashing the ice, and behind him is the shadow of a boat.

This man tried to break through the ice cave and immediately danced after seeing Ji Dao and Zheng Yun's flashlights!

The ice between them was twenty meters thick, and their vision was hazy. They couldn't even tell whether he was a man, a woman, a human, or a ghost. All they knew was that he was holding a tool in his hand, and he could smash it in a moment. Not wearing this solid ice.

"Master Immortal, there is something wrong with this person!"

Ji Dao spoke quickly.

Needless to say, Zheng Yun also felt that something was wrong. The sound of the man smashing the ice could be heard, but his first reaction when he saw the man was not to shout for help?

In addition, there are actually ancient ships here.

Then these ice caves are probably stolen caves dug by scientific expedition teams or archaeological teams! They dug holes in the ice one by one and stopped when they could see the shadow of the boat.

Their target was definitely not an ancient ship, otherwise they would have penetrated these ice holes long ago instead of changing places halfway through.

It's not an ancient ship.

So what is their goal?

They searched for a long time. Did they finally break through a certain ice cave and create a passage to enter?

If the man inside can't get out, does that mean the scientific expedition team didn't penetrate the tunnel? But if it wasn't penetrated, how did this person get in? Still trapped inside? Where did the scientific expedition team go? Did they go to the depths?

Too strange.

I couldn't figure it out for a while.

Woohoo!

A cry rang out.

Zheng Yun was startled by the sound, because the sound was the one he had heard in the crack before, and was considered by Ji Dao to be the cry of a taboo living creature, a 'tongueless creature'.

The cry came from the other side.

It was this man who was knocking on the ice who made such a sound. Then he was probably the tongueless thing mentioned by Ji Dao. Once discovered, he should be reported immediately. The Tritonians would use all their resources to exterminate and slaughter him at all costs. !

Because this sound is very weird, it cannot be screamed by humans, it 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, making everyone's head and cavity numb.

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

But he was very courageous. Not only did he not retreat, he even took a few steps into the ice cave to try to see it more clearly and to see what it looked like.

But it's really not that dangerous.

This layer of ice is not something that this tongueless thing can break through in a short while, and it seems to be very strong and can use tools, but it doesn't feel like it has much lethality.

Zheng Yun observed its behavior and speculated that it should be a living creature with a physical body, not some godly or ghostly thing. Moreover, it had a mortal body, not steel and iron bones.

A ghost general can be killed with one strike.

If not, just shoot yourself and use bullets.

"Master Immortal, it's so weird. There are such living creatures in this place. How can they survive without food or drink? This is incredible." Ji Dao exclaimed.

After all, the Pregnant Demon Tower is in the water, and its area is very large. There are always some small fish and shrimps for the Kraken to prey on.

Moreover, male sirens also show a very obvious characteristic of bringing human corpses back to the Pregnancy Tower. They will go out to hunt and bring food back to feed the female sirens.

But this place is obviously different.

A tongueless thing can't get out of the ice. No matter how big the space in the iceberg is, there won't be enough food.

"Are you sure it's not human?"

Zheng Yun still asked.

The shadow at the end of the ice has been dancing. It also has two hands, two feet and a head. Its proportions are almost the same as those of a human. At a glance, it feels like it is a human.

Although its cry is very strange, it is not impossible that no one can do it. What if he is a human, but he was attacked or injured in some way, and his tongue was pulled out?

"It can't be a human being, Master Xian. People don't call like that." Jidao walked a few steps further.

Zheng Yun was slightly silent.

Then this thing is even weirder.

To the left and right of the passage on the second floor of this attic, behind the thick ice, there is actually a space, as well as an ancient ship and a tongueless thing. Is it related to the ancient ship with the iceberg on its bow?

How does this come together?

"Master Immortal, it can't come out for the time being. Let's go forward and have a look." Ji Dao exited the ice cave, glanced forward, and said with doubts: "The tongueless thing is screaming here, but it can still Living to this day, this place may have nothing to do with Hanxian Cave, otherwise it would have been eaten alive by Hanxian."

"..."

Zheng Yun was still silent.

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

Why did Triton build a loft here? To guard these tongueless things? Didn't they say that they should all be eradicated? Why should the seeds be left behind? Moreover, how could these tongueless creatures multiply in extremely cold places for hundreds of years?

"What taboos does this tongueless thing have? Is there another possibility that the tongueless thing is the Hanxian?" Zheng Yun suddenly opened his mouth and made a guess.

"..."

Ji Dao was also silent.

He waited for a while before guessing: "The tongueless thing is rarely mentioned in the records, and there is no positive description, but it can be roughly seen from some details that this thing is widely distributed, and it will be the enemy of human beings in ancient times. .”

"As for Han Xian, this thing is a bit more mysterious. Ancient books have never written about what it looks like. Master Xian, I really can't say for sure, and I don't have a clue."

"But I feel it shouldn't be the case. The Tongueless Thing is a taboo monster, and the Cold Immortal is an immortal. It shouldn't be difficult to confuse the two. After all, the types are different."

"Forget it, let's look forward."

Zheng Yun shook his head. He was both a fairy and a demon, and he had to consider the type. This was a debate on the scriptures, and he couldn't come up with the result even in one night.

The two continued to move forward.

There are a lot of irregular ice holes on the left and right, and it is obvious that the scientific expedition team is looking for something.

I saw 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 might also be connected by iron cables, which is exactly the same thing as the ancient ships connected by an iceberg on the bow.

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

Shine the flashlight over.

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

See this scene.

Zheng Yun suddenly thought of the video from 20 years ago. A group of people squatted in an ice cave and said they couldn't get out. Many people were sent out, but no one came back...

Not this hole.

But the environment is very similar!
