Chapter 1,165 Ice-walking Insect
The chill of the ice spread through her nails to Tai's body, making her feel slightly chilled. The ice here was just as Zheng Feng said, a bit unusual.
Zheng Feng's eyes were serious, and he raised his arm again. This time, a scorching flame appeared on his fist, and he began to show his anger.
Surrounded by raging fire, the iron fist struck again. The already cracked ice could no longer withstand a second heavy blow.
"Clang——!"
The sound of the ice breaking was like glass being shattered, but before the broken ice could fall to the snow, it had already been evaporated by the flames released by Zheng Feng.
Under the bombardment of Zheng Feng's fists, the ice layer, which was harder than fine steel, could only be quickly disintegrated, and an ice cave of several square meters was soon dug out for people to rest and stay.
…
In the ice cave, Zheng Feng sat with his back against the ice wall, tapping the hard ice with the back of his hand, and said, "I probably know where this place is."
Ya exposed a furry little head and asked curiously: "Master, what kind of place is this?"
Zheng Feng knocked on the hard ice and said: "If the information Bu Dingzi sold me is correct, this should be the 'Iron Iceland' among the eighty-one prefecture-level islands."
According to the introduction on the jade slips, there are always some special symbols on each island, such as specialties, maybe spirit beasts, or certain materials. If you pay careful attention to the unique specialties, you can determine the island you are on.
Of course, the premise is that Bu Dingzi's jade slips did not trick him...
Zheng Feng's luck is not too bad, at least he was not teleported to the four heaven-level islands at the beginning, but it is not too good, because Iron Iceland is among the prefecture-level islands, and the environment is one of the worst and dangerous.
To a very high degree.
Iron Island has 365 days a year, and there are no seasonal distinctions, because there are no other seasons except winter, and it is in the cold winter all year round.
Blizzards occur every two days, lasting at least several hours each time. It is extremely cold. Except for cold-tolerant soul beasts, it is impossible for ordinary soul beasts to survive in such a harsh environment.
It is precisely because the environment is too cold that the ice here has undergone some mutations. Its hardness is comparable to fine steel, just like the steel in the ice. Therefore, the ice here is named "Iron Ice", which is Iron Ice Island.
The origin of the name.
In terms of hardness alone, iron ice can even exceed some earth-level materials, but it has a fatal flaw, which is the temperature.
The hardness of iron ice is due to the fact that it has not melted for many years, but it is actually an ordinary ice cube. This extraordinary hardness can only be maintained in extremely cold environments.
If the iron ice is placed in a warm environment, it will melt by itself even if no one attacks it, which is why it looks so unbearable when faced with Zheng Feng's flames.
Therefore, the practicality of iron ice is greatly limited. Otherwise, Zheng Feng would like to scrape a large amount of iron ice and take it back to Youyou as materials. Mass production of prefecture-level mechanical beasts can be said to be easy, but it has fatal flaws.
Tie Bing was obviously impractical, so he had to give up.
Zheng Feng sat quietly in the ice cave, waiting for the snowstorm to pass. After all, the snow here affected visibility too much, and it was absolutely stupid to walk around in the white snow.
While waiting, Zheng Feng recalled the introduction to Iron Iceland and considered where to find the token after the snow stopped...
Zheng Feng's luck didn't seem to be very good. He encountered a violent snowstorm. Two hours later, the biting snow and cold wind had still not stopped, but had become slightly weaker. It would take some time until the snow stopped.
time.
Another time has passed, the heavy snow has not stopped, but the level outside the cave is still very bad.
At this time, Zheng Feng suddenly stood up and looked out of the cave, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity!
At that moment, he seemed to hear a faint scream mixed with the howling of the cold wind, and it was a human voice, but the wind was chaotic and noisy, and the scream was relatively vague, and he didn't know
Did you hear correctly?
Ya's fluffy cat ears twitched slightly, his tiger eyes were piercing, and he confirmed: "Master heard it right, Ya just heard it too, and said "meow" very clearly!"
Ya's hearing was many times sharper than his. Since even Ya said this, it was definitely not an auditory hallucination just now. He lowered his head and asked: "Human?"
"Yes, it's a human being." Ya nodded and replied. The sound wave frequency of human speech is slightly different from that of other creatures.
"When the storm stops, we'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, Zheng Feng sat back down again. Ninety percent of those who screamed had already gone to see the Great Bird Man of Light.
He could not see clearly the environment ten meters in front of him with his eyes open, so he had to move forward cautiously, looking for a place to wait for the wind and snow to subside. If a weak trialer dared to act in such a harsh environment, he would look like seeking death.
Big difference.
The key difference between earth-level islands and heaven-level islands lies in the spirit beasts on the islands. Under normal circumstances, earth-level islands will only see earth beasts and spirit beasts of lower strength, while heaven-level islands will have heavenly beasts.
Of course, this is not absolute. Heavenly beasts may also appear on some prefecture-level islands. Most of them are king beasts or group leaders, and their numbers are very rare.
If you want to act on any level of island, you must have the corresponding realm. Even if you have the strength, you must be careful in everything, otherwise you may be in danger of losing your life at any time.
Zheng Feng learned from the jade slips that on this iron ice island, because the material 'iron ice' is abundant, one must pay attention to a special spirit beast, the 'ice-walking insect'.
Ice crawlers feed on iron ice as their main food, so wherever there is iron ice, ice crawlers are likely to be nearby.
Iron ice is only the staple food of ice crawlers, and non-staple food is the creatures that intrude into their territory. No matter what they are, as long as they are sensed by them, they will eat them. They like cold environments and live in groups. They often go out in groups to hunt.
.
Don't think that ice crawlers have the word "worm" in them and like to live in groups, so you think they are weak soul beasts that live in groups. On the contrary, they are not weak at all, and have nothing to do with being small. They are iron icebergs.
Overlord!
Every adult ice crawler has the strength of an earth beast. The average length is about three meters, and the larger ones may even be five meters. If it stands up, it will be taller than an ordinary house. It can be said to be a giant omnivorous insect.
fear.
Because Iron Island has cold winters all year round, is rich in iron ice, has a superior living environment, and has no shortage of food, it is difficult for the ice crawler family to prosper. It can be said that it is the ruler of Iron Island.
The scarcity of soul beasts on the Iron Ice Island is largely due to this group of omnivorous giant insects. If an ordinary trialist encounters a team of ice-crawling insects that are out hunting for food, they will almost die.
Zheng Feng guessed that those giant insects may have already known about his appearance, but they may have sensed the vague aura of the king beast on Ya, so they did not dare to attack him.
As for the unlucky ghost who screamed in agony, it was probably because his aura was too weak to deter the ice-walking insects, so he was attacked and killed by the insects as soon as he approached the Iron Ice Mountains.
More than an hour later, the blizzard finally stopped, but the cold wind was still there, but the view was much clearer than before.
Zheng Feng searched in the direction where the scream came from before, walking through the thick snow, leaving clearly identifiable footprints on the ground.
"Ya, can you still find that person?" Zheng Feng lowered his head and asked. Even though the direction he was looking for was not wrong, the snowfall for more than an hour had already erased the previous traces, and everything in his sight was covered with white accumulation.
Snow, I can't see any difference at all.
Ya shook her body deftly, jumped out, and sniffed hard with her sharp nose. In addition to bursts of icy cold air, she also felt a faint smell of blood.
"Master's side..."
Ya ran, searching for the source of the smell of blood, and finally stopped on a piece of pure white snow. He lay down and brought his nose closer to the pure white snow. After a few seconds, he was sure, and his fleshy paws gently
Patting the snow beneath him, he turned around and shouted: "Master, the smell of blood is the strongest here, meow!"
If the time had been too long, more than two or three hours, Yaya might not be able to smell the faint smell of blood. Fortunately, it was only about an hour, and there were still certain clues left at the murder scene.
Zheng Feng naturally did not doubt Ya's nose and started digging into the snow...
