Endless route

Chapter 160 67. The adventure is over [The copy is over! 】

Everyone waited in the Fairy Cave for more than 20 minutes. There was no abnormality in the transparent tank in front of them. Hanxian did not eat plastic. After eating the frozen meat, he gathered and moved around in the tank.

After a while, he turned into a human form.

It will circle around the tank for a while.

The entire tank is sealed, Hanxian cannot get out of the gap, and this new material is extremely hard, definitely much stronger than ice, so there should be no problem.

After confirming this, Zheng Yun relaxed slightly and observed for a long time before letting the ghost general move him back to the secret realm.

This thing is still too dangerous. It is best to find a suitable place to store it and let Jidao look for it in Tiangong.

There are many underground caves in the Heavenly Palace similar to the Immortal Worship Cave. Let’s seal them inside and observe them for half a year before talking about other things.

I'll buy some solar panels later, and with batteries and refrigeration equipment, I should be able to simulate the environment here.

"Master Immortal, how many lanterns do you want to take?"

Ji Dao asked with a jade lantern in his hand.

"Take two." Zheng Yun nodded. If something happened to Han Xian, they would at least have backup options to deal with it.

"Okay." Ji Dao immediately followed the instructions.

Looking back at the outside of the thief's cave, I saw that the will-o'-wisps had dissipated completely. After the oxygen was exhausted, nothing could burn.

"Pack your things and go back."

Zheng Yun looked at the other little Taoist priests and asked them to take all the miscellaneous things in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave back to the secret realm. The fragrant sand on the ground was also put back into the cloth bag with his hands and brought back with them.

After a while.

There are not many human traces left in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. All the things left before have been moved back to the secret realm. Only Zheng Yunjidao and a few people are left in the wide space, and the environment has returned to deathly silence.

"Let's go, be careful."

Zheng Yun turned his head to check everyone's oxygen reserves. After that, there should be an oxygen-free environment all the way. After confirming that everyone had enough oxygen to get out, he walked to the entrance of the robbery hole and pried the iron sheet.

A few sleds down.

The iron sheet was completely lifted.

Everyone looked very nervous. After confirming with their own eyes that there was nothing unusual, they hurriedly got out of the gap and immediately closed the iron sheets. Ji Dao lifted the bucket he had been holding in his hands and immediately poured water into the gap to start pouring.

Zheng Yun put down the ice melting board, opened the fairy gate again, and then returned to the secret pool in person to bring water over again.

Been busy for a long time.

The robbery cave here is also blocked by ice. It is still the same as the previous robbery cave. It was sealed with a thick layer of ice before it ended.

"Now it's foolproof."

Ji Dao scratched his scalp. His forehead was covered with sweat inside the oxygen mask, and the heat could not be dissipated, making him very uncomfortable.

"Go back."

Zheng Yun nodded and put away the black jade pillow.

Everyone returned along the original route. There were also traces of damage left by the scientific expedition team and the archaeological team in the corridor of the connected ancient ship. These traces were difficult to repair, and the abnormality was not big.

Just leave it alone.

As for the Han Immortals left in the outside world, there probably aren't many left, and even if there are some, they probably won't survive.

"It's completely safe now, Master Immortal. I plan to lock the Han Immortal to the rock wall stone chamber next to the Immortal Burial Valley." Only then did Ji Dao have time to say other things.

"Okay." Zheng Yun nodded.

There was no words to say all the way, and they kept going back along the way they came, and soon returned to Broken Ice Lake through the gap in the Robber's Cave.

Zheng Yun opened the Immortal Gate again and first dealt with the traces and theft holes on the Broken Ice Lake, erasing all human traces.

The white-coated rescue team discovered this place using a drone, but if the abandoned camp was burned down, even if another drone came over, there would be no problem.

By the way, block the gap here as well.

Then there was another burst of busyness, fine flakes of snow fell leisurely, and many Yin soldiers and Taoist priests continued to walk out of the secret realm, taking full protection and using the snow curtain to 'destroy the corpses and eliminate traces'.

Toss for half an hour.

Their maintenance and cleaning team had just finished their work. There was no trace of anyone in the entire Broken Ice Lake, and the holes in the wall had also been blocked.

Zheng Yun rubbed his sore arm, led Ji Dao and others to tear off the plastic wrap in the secret place, sorted their clothes a little, then packed up their things again and drove back on the snowmobile.

…

Ice corridor exit.

The rescue team's camp exudes warm yellow soft light, each small tent is illuminated by camping lights, and the bonfire continues to burn. The firelight illuminates the ice cave brightly and very peacefully.

But there was no one in the camp.

Zheng Yun saw this scene through the front windshield, and his heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that something would happen here, but it happened anyway. The situation in front of him was not optimistic!

"Master Immortal, what's going on?"

Ji Dao was also stunned. He had been eating and drinking in the camp for a long time just now, but now there is no one there?

Zheng Yun looked serious and said nothing as he drove the snowmobile forward slowly. The light beam of the vehicle stretched straight ahead, along the lane left by the camp, and passed through most of the camp.

The campground was really deserted.

But there was someone in the snowy curtain illuminated by the headlights.

The snow outside became much lighter, and the visual distance became farther. Zheng Yun could see many colors in the snow. They were all members of the rescue team wearing warm clothes, standing upright in the snow.

They all held their heads high.

Staring straight in the air.

This scene is creepy. Why are they standing under the snow? It's like being controlled by something!

As the car lights illuminated the cracks in the ice and shone on them, the figures suddenly moved. Hu Ruihua wore black cold-weather clothes, Song Wan wore pink cold-weather clothes, and Hu Zi and the others quickly ran through the snow curtain towards the ice corridor. Come.

Uh-huh.

Ji Dao slowly drew his sword with a solemn expression, and opened the car door with his left hand, opening a gap so that he could take action at any time.

He suspected that these people were being controlled. Although he felt sad, if there was a threat, he must take action to suppress it.

"Look again."

Zheng Yun also opened the car door.

The running postures of these figures were very natural, and he could vaguely hear Huzi's voice. He didn't know what they were shouting, but they probably weren't being controlled by 'things'.

Not a few seconds passed.

They ran back to Kou Shang from the snow curtain.

Huzi and Xiaohu said excitedly:

"Brother Zheng, the iceberg is on fire!"

"The iceberg was full of will-o'-the-wisps just now!"

Zheng Yun had a strange expression, and before he had time to react, Huzi ran to the snowmobile, picked up a tablet and put it in front of Zheng Yun, showing the video they had just taken.

The scenery on the video is amazing.

Fine snow curtains fell from the sky, covering the entire glacier mountain range. Everything in the field of vision was dim, but at the end of the field of vision, there were several icebergs emitting blue-green light!

These icebergs are small mountains

But they are actually hollow.

The blue-green light seeped out from the inside of the iceberg, just like the aurora shining from the ground, reflecting the entire iceberg strangely.

This picture is extremely terrifying.

Deep in the vast snow-capped mountains, an inaccessible forbidden area, they were trapped here by heavy snow and unable to get out. As a result, ghost fires ignited inside the continuous icebergs, which was as terrifying as hell.

It scares everyone.

There were also screams of exclamation in the background of the video. They basically knew about the glacier on the bow of the ship, what happened to Senko, and the horror of the will-o'-the-wisp.

And Zheng Yun and Ji Dao are both inside.

The burning iceberg is deep in the crevasse!

Therefore, they were mainly worried about Zheng Yun and Jidao. They were deeply afraid that Zheng Yun and others would be burned by the fire. Like Senko and others, they would be burned to death without first aid.

When Song Wan and the others discovered this scene, their first reaction was to immediately drive in to look for someone, but fortunately Hu Ruihua was still calm and knew that even if they went in, they would be looking for trouble.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Did that fire get to you?"

Hu Ruihua and Song Wan immediately asked about the situation, and Sister Wang took out the first aid kit from the side, ready to treat them at any time.

"It's okay." Zheng Yun shook his head.

He also didn't expect that the fire would burn so fiercely that it could even burn to the top of the iceberg. Fortunately, they were in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape from all directions.

This series of ancient ships and will-o'-the-wisps.

The momentum was so huge.

What secret does it hold?

The chain of ancient ships stretches from east to west, from the bow glacier to here, on the circle drawn by my adoptive father, spanning hundreds of miles!

It can be understood that the chain of ancient ships is a mechanism guarding the Immortal Cave, but this guess may not be accurate. Perhaps the truth can only be known by going deep along the corridor of the ancient ship.

Actually think about it carefully.

My adoptive father never draws circles blindly.

When he was in Qianfu City, the circle drawn by his adoptive father encompassed an entire deep alley. Not only did he draw the statue of the demon-suppressing god, he also drew Zhang Ergou's Blood Monkey Dojo, which were all key clues.

The circle that the adoptive father drew on the weather cloud map this time was so large that it was probably not just Hanxian's problem.

At present, they only know that the reason for snow in extremely cold mountains is that water vapor from the extreme day area flows to the extreme night area, and is blocked and gathered by the mountains. At the same time, snow will cause the temperature to rise.

The temperature will cause ice melting.

At the same time, the water level in the underground river is raised.

There are no clues here. It doesn't seem to have much to do with Hanxian. I don't know where it points.

The circle drawn by my adoptive father.

Any information is useful.

Maybe even people are included.

The culprit of this problem is Kedester's wife. She may have discovered some unknown secrets. Only by finding this woman can we have a chance to continue the investigation.

You can put it aside temporarily.

Let’s talk about it after we find someone.

"But you smell of burning." Song Wan came closer to Zheng Yun, sniffed and wrinkled her nose, and quickly came to a conclusion, overturning Zheng Yun's words of comfort to them.

"It got caught in the ancient ship."

Zheng Yun subconsciously patted his clothes. Every time he set a fire, he was discovered because of the smell, which was quite embarrassing.

"Brother Zheng, this is too scary. What did you see in the ancient ship?" Huzi asked with lingering fear.

"What can you see in the ruins?" Ji Dao took back his sword.

"Maybe it's an underground volcano or biodegradable methane?" Hu Ruihua glanced back, and other members of the rescue team also returned to the cave, so he asked in English.

This is a deliberate attempt to cooperate.

to quell the curiosity of these Westerners.

"It should be. It's very dangerous inside. Those gases are toxic." Zheng Yun answered in English. After speaking, he and Hu Ruihua looked at each other and smiled. Their trick was too clumsy.

"It's too dangerous, let's evacuate! This is a dangerous place in nature. We shouldn't go in. Senko is wearing full equipment, but he is still lying in the hospital until now."

"The snow has lightened up. Let's go out of the mountain. We can't save the people here. When we get back, I will inform the rescue association of the situation and ask them to cancel the mission directly."

The two captains believed it, and they all spoke with solemn expressions, not wanting to stay here any longer.

Old rescuers like Senko have been tricked. This is a real example, enough to persuade them all to retreat.

Hu Ruihua, Song Wan and others did not answer, but all looked at Zheng Yun, wondering if his matter was over. If it was not over, they could not leave.

Look at everyone's eyes.

Zheng Yun looked at them one by one, then forced out a smile and said: "Go back, it's over here for now."

"Okay." Hu Ruihua nodded.

"Is this the end?" Huzi had a strange expression.

"Alas." Xiao Hu actually sighed at this moment.

The reaction of the two of them was very inappropriate, not at all happy, and even a little regretful and lonely.

They only knew that the four of Zheng Yun had gone in twice, and had no idea what they had done or what was inside. When they walked out of the cave, it was over.

It’s heart-breaking and heart-wrenching.

I am so curious.

"You two want to go in and take a look? Will I take you for a walk in the depths?" Zheng Yun said with a smile and teased the two of them.

"I really want to go." Huzi's eyes lit up.

"It's not impossible." Xiao Hu nodded frequently.

"Stop talking and go pack your things." Hu Ruihua knocked on the two of them, and even Zheng Yun couldn't tell that he was joking.

Zheng Yun said no more.

He looked back and saw that there was darkness deep in the crevasse, and it might come again later, and more than once.

"Brother Zheng, thank you for your hard work."

Song Wan handed over a thermos cup and food.

Jidao happened to be by the campfire, rummaging through the remaining water and food. Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt like a beggar, and there was a big gap between him and the immortal master.

Sure enough, I still need to learn more and watch more.

After all, he is a person who oversees the Immortal Division. How can he pick up the things left by others and completely embarrass the Immortal Master...

"You worked hard too."

Zheng Yun patted Song Wan on the shoulder.

They are guarding here, and they must be on tenterhooks every second. This period of time must be quite difficult.

"Get in the car and get some sleep."

Song Wan stared at Zheng Yun's face carefully. His face was full of fatigue and he had not rested for a long time.

Zheng Yun nodded, walked out of the crevasse and looked at the icebergs behind him. He took off the oxygen mask on his face and took a deep breath.

The air has a unique smell.

Inhale the coldness of the ice into your lungs.

There was the smell of snow and icebergs, as well as a faint burnt smell, coming from the clothes on my body.

No wonder Song Wan could smell it.

It smells like plastic, so it’s strange that the stuffing is not exposed.

While everyone was packing up the camp, Zheng Yun stared at the iceberg in silence for a long time. This expedition was actually not very dangerous, mainly because there were many mysteries and it also involved Triton.

It's really hard to imagine.

It also makes people feel a little emotional.

There is actually an exit to the abandoned land hidden deep in such a glacier, and it is probably the only exit. It is the only intersection between the people of Hongwu Ancient City and the human world.

This extremely cold glacier isolates the inside and outside.

The ancient battlefield was frozen deep underground.

Perhaps the real purpose of Haiwei's building of ancient serial ships is not to prevent ordinary people from entering.

They may have been defeated in the ancient battlefield, to prevent the fall of the ancient city of Hongwu, to prevent the Hongying City from being completely destroyed by an unknown enemy, and then sweeping disaster into the world...

Endless icebergs and a chain of ancient ships.

They are all the last barriers left by Triton.

Even if all the soldiers in the ancient city of Hongwu were slaughtered, they could mobilize their troops and horses to fight to the death on the iceberg.

The circle drawn by my adoptive father.

The painting is of the ancient city behind the iceberg.

The painting depicts the critical war situation in the ancient city.

This circle was not aimed at scientific expedition teams or archaeological teams, or even anything. The information it provided had nothing to do with these troubles, and I had always guessed wrong.

This circle is the battlefield.

A battlefield located in the human world, located in W-08, deep in the extreme cold mountains, at the end of heaven and earth.

The Han Immortal in the Immortal Cave.

Ancient city walls in the Rift Valley.

Like a maze of cracks in the ice.

A vast chain of ancient ships.

None of this is directed at the intruders, but at what's behind the Black Jade Gate, Triton's last line of defense.

This circle even contains a hidden tip.

When the situation is irreversible and the ancient city is defeated, you can open the fairy gate on a snowy day with surging clouds, and use the ancient ships to cooperate with the surging will-o'-the-wisps to fight to the death in the decisive battle...

"Brother Zheng, get in the car."

Hu Ruihua's voice suddenly sounded.

"Brother Zheng, are we still looking for pirate treasures? The Pirate Festival is not over yet." Huzi muttered.

"Go back and rest first. Do you want to exhaust yourself to death?" Song Wan glanced at Hu Zi coldly and said.

"Haha, let's talk about it when we get back."

Zheng Yun's wandering thoughts suddenly returned. He opened the door with a smile and got into the car. He sat in the back seat of the vehicle. As the snowmobile started, the glaciers and mountains slowly receded outside the window.

Not long after.

They leave here completely.

It’s finally over!
