Chapter 856: Thrilling Summit
It is said that inside the glacier it is impossible to see anything, but under the light of the fire, it looks like a fantasy world. Chen Long and others entered the ice dome that reached as far as the eye could see, but could no longer find the exit.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at the dark dome, as if there was really a way out there. Chen Long was not willing to look back. He might have climbed up to the top of the snow-capped mountain. After a slight hesitation, a few people stacked up like Arhats. Chen Long finally climbed onto Feiyanxiang's shoulder, stepped firmly on it, and used all his strength to pull the rope up. The iron arrow shot towards the top of the cave.
The iron arrow buzzed and flew towards the top of the cave like a meteor, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The long rope hovering on the ground quickly rose up in circles, showing that the arrow was extremely powerful. speed.
The huge force of Chen Long's arrow reverberated, and everyone could no longer hold on and rolled to the ground like a gourd. Ma Chao was dumbfounded as he watched the long rope coil coiled on the ground rapidly shrink and suddenly disappear. The entire long rope was pulled up high into the sky. Everyone was caught off guard and watched as the tail of the rope flew towards the high altitude. It changed in the blink of an eye. As a small black dot.
Ma Yunluo was the first to react. He wanted to jump up and grab the end of the rope, but Chen Long held his waist to stop him. He didn't want to risk his beloved wife. Seeing the long rope flying higher and higher, the speed suddenly slowed down. The long rope fell from the air, and the tail of the rope hovered in the air, only as high as one person.
Chen Long was overjoyed and said excitedly: "It's done!" Everyone was overjoyed and came over. Feiyan hesitated and said: "Even if the arrow is temporarily stuck on the roof, will it be strong?"
Indeed, although the arrows inserted into the dome are temporarily fixed, this is not the reinforced concrete of later generations, but solid ice that can break at any time. If a weight is hung on a long rope, who knows if it can be fixed.
Chen Long was the tallest one. He clenched his back molars and grabbed the tail of the rope. He looked at everyone's expectant eyes, then he was heartbroken and pulled down with all his strength. This pull could not weigh more than a few hundred kilograms, at least two or three. With the weight of an adult, everyone looked at the sky with sad faces, as if they would see a powerful arrow falling down the next moment.
The long rope swayed for a while, and then returned to its natural vertical position in an instant, with no sign of falling off at all. Everyone clapped with joy. Who would have thought that Chen Long's arrow could penetrate so deeply into the dome that it was so strong.
Chen Long was afraid that the firmness would decline over time, so he immediately said: "The night is long and there are many dreams. You can just pay attention below. I will go up the rope first and look for possible entrances."
Yunluo and Feiyan immediately became worried. After all, falling from a high altitude was no joke, but Chen Long was the strongest in the art of lightening one's body, so there really was no other good way. Seeing Chen Long inserting the dagger and carrying the torch, he stood up lightly, climbed up along the long rope, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention that everyone was waiting in panic under the long rope. Chen Long climbed higher and higher along the long rope, and his body became heavier and heavier. The long rope was twisting under the force. Fortunately, there was no strong wind in the ice cave, and the swing of the rope was fully tolerated. Within the range, I just don’t know how long the arrow can withstand it.
Chen Long finally climbed to the dome and saw that the end of the rope was deep into the ice. He could not see the entire iron arrow. No wonder it was inserted so firmly. There was something strange in my heart, how could the power of an arrow from afar be so powerful? Can it really be inserted into thick ice?
Chen Long twisted the rope with his feet and freed his hands to light the torch. Within a few feet of the surrounding area, he could vaguely see the dome like an ice cap, extending towards the surrounding areas.
Chen Long's eyesight was so good. After searching around, he finally found that a few feet away, the firelight was slightly sunk into darkness. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. The sunken area was different from other places. It was obviously the entrance to a small ice cave. The man in black must have climbed up from the rope prepared in advance. After climbing up, he retracted the rope and cut off the only way to enter the ice cave on the dome.
Chen Long was very happy when he heard a slight clicking sound in his ears. This surprise was not trivial. If the ice cap broke at this moment, even if he was a Daluo Jinxian, his life would be in danger.
Chen Long pulled out the dagger and added internal energy. The dagger immediately became hot and inserted into the top of the ice with a pop. Chen Long temporarily stabilized his body, shifted his center of gravity slightly to the side of the dagger, and slightly relieved the pressure on the long rope. Sure enough, the sound of the ice breaking gradually stopped, but the ice melted due to heat, and the dagger immediately fell off. Chen Long quickly tightened the long rope again. The tiny cracking sound came again under pressure.
Chen Long was anxious, seeing that the entrance to the ice cave was very far away, and it was impossible to move through it with the dagger. He went down to shoot arrows again, but he was unwilling to do so. How could he have such good luck to nail the sword firmly to the edge of the ice cave?
Seeing the dagger slipping down, Chen Long caught it, and an idea came to his mind. He injected his inner strength again, and the dagger became hot again. Chen Long used the torch in one hand and started cutting on the spot with the other. The scorching dagger was like cutting into a block of tofu, and soon the ice chips fell down, digging a shallow pit the size of a shoulder. The sound of the ice breaking sounded again. It was obvious that the ice was thinning, which also reduced the strength of the surrounding ice. The arrow The ice around the arrow is already in danger.
Chen Long thought to himself that he had no choice but to bet on this shop. There is a high possibility that there is an igloo on top of the ice. Otherwise, it is difficult to imagine how the man in black discovered this vertical ice cave. It is most likely that there is another platform above the dome to create such an artificial entrance and exit, and to connect the rope. Fastened for access to and from the dome skylight.
Chen Long didn't hesitate to do anything. He chose the deepest spot in the shallow pit, took a good stance and stabbed the dagger upwards. He heard a pop sound and the whole dagger was submerged. Chen Long then turned the dagger and immediately twisted it. A deep circular groove as thick as an arm appeared, but it was obviously still ice, and there was nothing that could be done.
The dagger was too short. Chen Long's eyes immediately locked on the long torch, and he quickly changed his mind and extinguished the torch. Lock the long rope with both feet, remove the oilcloth wrapped around the top of the torch, use a dagger to dig a groove on the top of the torch, insert the dagger handle into it, then wrap the oilcloth tightly, and light the torch. The dagger heated up rapidly in the firelight and gave off a reddish luster. Chen Long raised the torch and thrust it into the deep trench he had just dug.
Without oxygen, the light of the torch dimmed quickly. Fortunately, the dagger was still hot, and under the pressure in Chen Long's hand, it stabbed all the way upward. Chen Long spread out his body and stretched his arms to the limit. Just when the whole torch was about to penetrate deep, Chen Long made a light move in his hand, and there was only a pop sound, and the dagger had penetrated the ice.
Chen Long was overjoyed, knowing that it was just as he expected. He didn't have time to think, and used all his strength to quickly expand the hole. Just when the long rope seemed to be crumbling, it finally opened a deep entrance that was as wide as shoulder width. Chen Long withdrew the torch, rubbed his sore right arm, removed the dagger, and stabbed it horizontally into the ice at the entrance. He pressed it still firmly, took a deep breath, let go of the long rope with both feet, and swung over lightly. It just hung on the edge of the entrance.
The ice is smooth and the dagger has no barbs. It cannot bear Chen Long's weight and will fall off if it cannot bite the ice. How could Chen Long hesitate at all? With the last bit of friction, the dagger flew up from the hole.
The dagger slipped and fell silently into the bottomless space below.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
