Austin did not fall, because the ice wall in front of him also cracked a gap that was barely enough for one person to pass. The moment the ice under his feet completely shattered, he jumped in without hesitation.
He fell hard to the ground. The soil had long been frozen as hard as steel, and it was almost impossible to knock Austin unconscious.
The ice on the inside of the iceberg exudes a little light blue fluorescence, barely able to illuminate the way forward.
[Is this a road? ] Doug asked.
The crack that Austin had just rushed into continued forward. Looking ahead, he could only see darkness, and he didn't know where it led.
"It's like an emperor's mausoleum." Austin said with emotion as he looked up at the ice walls on both sides that were so tall that one couldn't even see the ends.
[Let’s go ahead and take a look. It’s too uncomfortable here. ] Doug didn't feel how grand it was here, he just felt depressed and uncomfortable.
Austin nodded, clenched the pistol in his hand, and moved forward slowly.
As he went deeper, the ice walls on both sides began to change. They were no longer crystal clear as before, and some impurities gradually appeared inside.
At first, it was just small pieces of wood and gravel, and gradually became larger and larger. After walking for about ten minutes, Austin saw a fish he had never seen before in the ice on the right.
Stopping, he opened his eyes and tried to look forward. He could see the huge black shadows looming in the ice on both sides.
[This is……]
"In the legend of Poseidon Church, Poseidon fought with the outer gods, and the divine power exploded, freezing the entire ocean. This may be a piece of ice in it." Austin explained, "It is said that the creatures frozen in it did not die. As long as the ice melts, they can return to the world."
Doug shuddered and looked back at the way he came, only to find that it was also pitch black and he couldn't see the entrance at all. At this point, no matter what lies ahead, I can only bite the bullet and move forward.
Moving forward, the things in the ice became larger and larger, and there were more and more, and some strange and terrifying creatures even appeared. A large part of Doug had only seen pictures in books.
Further forward, Doug could only see a certain part of some huge creatures. The main body was obscured by thick ice, and only a vague outline could be seen.
"I feel like they're looking at me." The corner of Doug's mouth twitched slightly, and he moved his gaze away from a tentacle with yellow-green eyes on the left, and couldn't help but speed up his pace a little, "What will it be like at the end?"
[It has been hinted before that this place is related to Benjamin, and maybe in the end we can find the so-called Benjamin's treasure. ]
"It better be there, it's so creepy in here."
[Wait, stop, did you hear that? ]
"What did you hear?" Doug didn't know why, but he still stopped and looked around cautiously.
[There are strange sounds. ]
Doug closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, and sure enough he heard a faint "click" sound, like someone tapping on the ice wall.
The pistol in his hand tightened, and Doug stared at the general direction of the sound.
It was not very clear at first, but since Doug really heard it, the knocking sound became louder and more obvious. After more than ten seconds, it evolved into like someone knocking on the ice wall in front of him. Same.
Doug shuddered involuntarily, and when he looked intently, he saw that there was an unknown figure in the ice wall in front of him, and he was gently tapping the ice wall in front of him.
Doug's eyes narrowed, and he confirmed that he had seen correctly. The figure was indeed in the ice wall, only two or three steps away from him.
Tuk tuk - tuk tuk -
The rhythmic tapping sound became louder and louder, as if it was hitting Doug directly on his skull.
As soon as such thoughts came to his mind, the back of his head suddenly started to hurt, and it got worse. Doug couldn't help but close his eyes and hit the back of his head with his hand, trying to relieve the pain.
Danger perception was triggered almost instantly, and Doug wanted to react, but it was too late.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already inside the ice wall, tapping the ice wall with his hands, while the "Doug" standing outside looked at him with a cold smile.
Doug wanted to curse, but he couldn't make a sound at all. He wanted to break the ice wall with all his strength, but his hands didn't obey him at all. He could only look at "himself" with his eyes and waved mockingly.
How could it end like this? How could I just be trapped and die here? Doug felt anxious, but suddenly he had a strange feeling in his heart - it seemed that there was a thin thread on his body, connected to "himself" outside.
Doug shouted in his heart and concentrated on "holding" the thin line. At that moment, there was a response from the other side of the thin line, and Austin's voice came from the other end: "How could it, how could it end here? "
The next moment, Doug and Austin shouted in unison: "You damn guy, get out of my body!"
But this did not completely get rid of the predicament. Doug only felt that his awareness of the body had recovered a little, and he seemed to be able to barely control a few fingers.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
The "self" outside the ice wall seemed to be stuck, the expression on his face kept switching directly between anger and ridicule, and the fingers of his left hand that was not holding the gun twitched slightly.
A cold light flashed in "Myself"'s eyes. He held the gun in his right hand against his temple and pressed his index finger on the trigger.
Doug almost squeezed all his strength into the thin line, and the same happened to Austin outside. The barrier between the two was getting thinner and thinner. The intuitive manifestation was that the index finger that pulled the trigger was never able to press down.
"Not enough!" "Myself" outside the ice wall suddenly burst out with an angry shout. Doug was delighted - it was Austin's voice.
So he worked harder, and while "holding" the thin line, he kept calling Austin's name, so the black shadow inside the ice wall also made a hoarse sound, and the hand tapping the ice wall gradually stopped like a rusty machine. .
The trembling left hand finally lifted up and moved towards the right hand with difficulty as if it were lifting a thousand kilograms of weight. At the same time, the index finger on the trigger of the right hand was also under tremendous pressure, and it was trembling and unable to fall down.
Doug was delighted. He and Austin worked together, and the power of the black shadow was obviously no match for them.
But the joy didn't last long, as the mocking expression on "myself"'s face became distorted, and he suddenly hit the ice wall with all his strength.
Bang——
Blood immediately flowed down his cheek, and Doug felt the thin thread in his hand shake. The perception on the other side disappeared for a moment, as if Austin was affected.
"You bastard! You never want to get my body!" Doug was heartbroken. He concentrated all his strength to regain control of his right index finger and pulled the trigger hard!
The black figure was startled and subconsciously leaned back to avoid the bullet.
"Hahaha, you really can't let go of this body!" Doug laughed, controlling the index finger to pull the trigger repeatedly.
At this time, Austin seemed to have finally recovered. Doug heard himself shouting "loudly" outside, and his left hand tightened around his neck, and he kept tightening.
The black shadow was completely panicked and used all his strength to stop these two lunatics. He had waited here for so long to finally find a body, but he couldn't just die like this.
With the situation in disarray, Austin and Doug's opportunity comes.
"You guys, don't underestimate the bond between us!"
After an angry shout, Doug grabbed hold of the thin thread and pulled it. His vision went dark, and he returned to his body in a spinning world.
