It should be said that there should have been a settlement with human existence in the space under this ice dome a long time ago.
But later, for some unknown reason, this settlement was completely ruined...or was it destroyed due to some external factors?
The area of ​​space under this ice dome is huge, and there are several caves under the ice connected to each other, and the guarding formation of each cave maintains minimum operation, and the vitality of heaven and earth required to maintain the formation is only
Originating from the ground of these subglacial cavities.
When Shang Xia entered the space under the ice dome, he already discovered that this place was clearly a high-quality spiritual land, and it was even possible to build a mysterious realm directly in this area.
These subglacial caves are carefully divided into different areas according to their functions. The largest subglacial cave in the center is a place of residence, and most of the surrounding caves have been opened up as planting areas.
There are other areas for smelting, breeding, etc.
When Shang Xia walked in the caves under the ice, he could still clearly feel the breeze containing water vapor, which shows that the space here is not closed, and the source of air circulation is probably located in a water source, although this exists everywhere
All snow and ice can be regarded as water sources.
Shang Xia tried to find a source of water along the direction where the breeze was blowing, but after passing through two caves, he was suddenly blocked by two half-buried caves side by side after collapse.
On the way when Shang Xia came, the holes he saw also had many signs of destruction.
This made him think to himself that maybe this was the reason why this settlement under the ice was finally abandoned.
Shang Xia looked at the two half-buried caves in front of him after the collapse. While he was still thinking about whether he should open them and find the water source, he suddenly felt that the entire space under the ice had become
It became unusually quiet.
At this moment, with two muffled sounds of "dong, dong", Shang Xia suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, with a somewhat surprised look on his expression.
At this time, Shang Xia didn't care about the possible water source deep in the collapsed cave behind him. When he walked back through a cave along the way, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something before.
When he raised his head to look at the ice dome above his head, he found that there were stars of different colors twinkling in the thick ice above.
Compared with the starlight observed above the ice and snow "desert" before Shang Xia, the starlight seeping out of the ice was softer, and it was essentially different from the cold air that existed in this hidden world.
On the same level, and having the same source as the "Star Power" and the seventh-level power of "Star Fire Refining" that Shang Xia had come into contact with, the Star Source Power is even more secretive in this cave under the ice.
If Shang Xia had not been attracted by the underground water source just now, they would have almost ignored the existence of the power of these stars in the caves under the ice.
However, just like the Qi of the Cold, the existence of the power of stars is also extremely thin, and it is not worth it for Shang Xia to force the Sifang Monument to absorb it at the cost of depleting its own original Qi.
But this was obviously not the time for Shang Xia to pay attention to these things. After two muffled sounds came from the hole under the ice behind him, two unknown strange things were following his breath.
Approach him quickly.
"Is it some kind of strange beast like ice and snow?"
Shang Xia thought to himself.
Because he suddenly discovered that the two entities that were rapidly approaching could actually hide their own aura. If Shang Xia's own divine perception was not strong enough, it might not be easy to discover them.
The moment Shang Xia walked through an ice tunnel that was only about ten feet long and stepped into another cave under the ice, two cold air machines suddenly hit him from the ice walls on the left and right sides.
.
"What a messy Yuan Sha. Is this a fourth-level alien beast?"
Shang Xia had thoughts in his mind, but it did not hinder his response.
Although his personal strength was greatly suppressed here, and the effect when he took action was half the result with twice the effort, in the end they were just two fourth-level alien beasts. He was hit by two thunderbolts drawn out by his backhand volley, and the two looked like
Some strange-looking beasts fell from the ice wall, twitching with their burnt breath.
"What on earth are these two things?"
Shang Xia frowned and looked at the two dogs on the ground, which looked a bit like dogs, but were almost two or three times larger in size. There were ulcers in parts of the body, but most of them were covered with a thin layer of skin.
A layer of ice looks like transparent armor at first glance.
"Is this a living thing? Why does it look like two frozen zombie dogs?"
Shang Xia walked up to the two beasts that had gradually become silent and kicked the fragments of ice armor that were blown away by two thunderbolts. However, he discovered that there were faint blood lines on the inside of these ice armors.
These ice armors not only grow together with the flesh and blood of these two beasts, but have even begun to connect with the blood vessels in their bodies.
Well, bloodline...
If there is still blood flowing in the body, then these two monsters cannot be called "zombie dogs"...
It's just that I acted too hastily and didn't sense whether the two monsters had heartbeats.
But since there is blood flowing in the body, there should be a heartbeat... right?
Sensing the lifeless corpses of the two monsters, the evil spirit that originally penetrated the body was quickly dissipating.
Those evil spirits were not only turbid but also mixed. After Shang Xia made a rough distinction, he found that these muddy and mixed evil spirits could be roughly divided into two categories. One category was mostly various cold evil spirits, while the other category was mostly stars.
Damn!
Shang Xia was not unfamiliar with star evil spirits, but it was after Tongyou Academy owned a star observation platform and began to establish and cultivate its own inheritance system of star observers that it really started to pay attention to the types of star evil spirits.
Thinking that after entering this world, what Shang Xia saw was a world of ice and snow, as well as the cold air that permeated this world that could be regarded as the origin of heaven and earth, and the stars that were like stars contained in the ice and snow.
With his strength, he seemed to be able to understand the mixed evil energy present in these two strange-looking beasts.
I just don’t know whether these two beasts evolved under the influence of the environment of this world, or whether they were twisted creations caused by the forcible interference of some external force.
Shang Xia followed the traces left by the two beasts and soon came to the place where they first entered the cave under the ice.
Seeing the first claw marks left on the ground, Shang Xia frowned and looked up at the ice hole in the center of the ice dome that he had dug before. The two beasts seemed to have been attracted by him.
It's just the endless "desert" of ice and snow above. I wonder where these two beasts originally hid?
But now it seems that the formation arranged in the cave under the ice is not entirely used to support the cave from being crushed by the ice. Perhaps it is to resist the invasion of this type of beast?
Shang Xia originally planned to continue tracking where the two monsters just emerged from. It would be best to find their lair, where he might be able to answer more questions about this world.
But just as he was about to leave the cave, he suddenly looked back at the two collapsed caves. There should be a water source behind the collapsed ice.
He wanted to see what was in the water source behind the collapsed cave. The collapse of the two ice and snow towers was obviously caused by man. The water source might hide the land that might have been home to human existence.
The secret of the final ruin of the settlement.
Because of the relatively strong supplement of heaven and earth vitality, although it is still a drop in the bucket for a sixth-level real person like Shang Xia, in the end, the original energy in his body is no longer passive water. Therefore, Shang Xia is clearing these two
When he saw the collapsed ice in a cave, he no longer had to chip away at it like an ordinary person did before. Instead, he walked straight forward, and the ice and snow in front of him was squeezed to both sides by his original domain.
, it looked as if it had opened up a passage for him to enter and exit on its own.
However, after only traveling a few feet, Shang Xia suddenly felt that the origin field extending forward suddenly stagnated, as if it had hit some obstacle.
After squeezing the surrounding ice and snow to both sides, an ice wall covered with array auras that was identical to the array patterns on the surface of the ice dome appeared in front of him.
However, there was no thick layer of ice or snow behind this ice wall. Shang Xia could even see through the ice wall in front of him that there was a fluorescent cave behind.
Not only that, the ice wall itself is not tight, and many areas around the edge have been eroded away. The breeze and moisture that Shang Xia had previously felt were also leaked from these places.
But the strange thing is that although this ice wall has been fused and eroded in many places, the formations carried on it do not seem to have completely failed, especially those places that have been eroded and hollow, except for the breeze and moisture that can penetrate through.
In addition, it still has the effect of isolating others.
However, Shang Xia obviously would not let go of the ice wall because of this. He could also guess that there must be some dangers in the cave behind the ice wall, otherwise he would not have deliberately set up this ice wall in the first place.
The cave is isolated from other caves, and for this reason, the two adjacent caves collapsed, completely submerging the place in ice and snow.
But Shang Xia himself came here to explore the secrets behind the ice wall, not to mention that he did not think that the danger behind the ice wall could endanger him.
The origin field advances forward, as if the entire ice wall and the isolation formation will be annihilated under the erosion of the origin power of his virtual realm in the next moment.
At this moment, the spiritual light of the array patterns that appeared on the ice wall suddenly began to flicker on its own, and then the array patterns began to swim on their own, pieced together into fonts, and finally formed three paragraphs.
"What can we do if we are invaded by the outside and forced by the inside?"
"The source has mutated, and it's impossible to save even one's life!"
"Those who come after us should stay away!"
After the three paragraphs were maintained for a while, the formation patterns that made up the font dispersed and returned to the formation pattern again.
Shang Xia squinted his eyes and thought over and over the three paragraphs on the ice wall. It was not that he was frightened by the meanings of these three paragraphs, but he felt that he might be able to infer something from these three paragraphs.
useful information.
First of all, from the perspective of the person who left these three paragraphs, this person should be an aborigine of this world.
At the same time, the appearance of this ice wall formation seems to prove that the indigenous people of this world not only mastered martial arts, but also made achievements in the formation.
Just like the first sentence, "Invasion from outside leads to internal pressure", then who is "invading from outside"? And in what way?
To be continued...
