"Me too, I don't plan to go back! I would rather be buried in the heavy snow than go to the camp to seek death. If I freeze to death in the snow, at least I can leave a whole body."
As the topic turned to the white devil, for a while, the trembling people suddenly felt chilled again. They were frightened by the white monster that seemed to be a devil. They shook their heads one after another to express their determination, and they did not dare to return to the camp even if they were beaten to death. There is certainly nothing wrong with throwing yourself into a trap, but staying here is not an option after all, so naturally, when everyone shook their heads and said they would not go back to the camp, and kept trembling, the boy named Sol said again: "The camp is really good. It’s dangerous. You definitely can’t go there. The two buses parked at the edge of the camp were also driven away by others, and it’s too cold here. Since we can’t go anywhere, what should we do?”
Faced with Saul's soul questioning that was like rubbing salt into a wound, several people who were already panicking couldn't sit still. Before Saul could finish speaking, a student who looked the calmest suddenly stood up and glanced at He glanced at the goose feather snowflakes still scattered around him, and then urgently ordered to the others: "Let's go! Let's leave quickly and leave the snow-capped mountains immediately!"
"Eh? Monitor, didn't you say you would wait until dawn before leaving? Why do you do it now..."
Obviously, because the camp was too far away from the outskirts of the snow-capped mountains, and the bus was driven away early, after several people fled the camp in a panic and met a gathering by chance, the squad leader with a leadership temperament quickly assessed the situation. In the end, it was concluded that the few people could not walk out of the snow-capped mountains at night when the temperature was extremely low. Not to mention anything else, the cold wind brought by the blizzard alone was enough to freeze them to death on the way. Yes, considering that the night temperature was too low, the squad leader decisively stopped them Others had the idea of leaving to escape the snow-capped mountains immediately, but instead asked everyone to avoid the cold first and wait until the temperature rises at dawn or until the snow stops falling before leaving.
First of all, it is certain that the squad leader's assessment is completely correct. This harsh environment with low temperature and blizzard is indeed extremely unsuitable for personnel movement. This is what the squad leader said. Everyone who is not an idiot actually followed the squad leader's suggestion and finally found someone who could reluctantly The grove that shields the wind and snow, I thought I would not be able to leave until dawn. Unexpectedly, I only stayed for half an hour. The squad leader who initially proposed to wait for dawn unexpectedly changed his mind? This change of mind may seem inexplicable to other students, but it is not so to the monitor personally. As for the reason for leaving now?
Somehow, as time passed, he gradually discovered a phenomenon, a strange phenomenon that became increasingly obvious as time passed, and that was...
The longer time passes, the colder the surrounding environment becomes! ! !
……………
The longer you stay in the snow-capped mountains, the colder the environment becomes and the lower the temperature drops. Although this cooling is very subtle, it is real. At first, the squad leader did not notice it, but as time passed, he gradually became aware of it. He felt something was wrong. After half an hour of personal experience, he vaguely discovered this phenomenon. The reason was definitely unknown, but the drop in temperature finally made him realize that the situation was dangerous. If the temperature continued to drop, they would never survive until dawn. .
"I don't have time to explain. I'll tell you the reason on the way. Hurry, let's set off immediately and leave the snow-capped mountains as quickly as possible!" Ignoring the confused questions of other students, the monitor frowned and urged everyone, seeing that he always had great ideas. The squad leader looked nervous, but the few familiar classmates obeyed the order, so they got up with doubts and planned to leave the snow mountain now.
"Okay, since you said so, let's leave now!"
Under the urging of the squad leader, the six people hurriedly packed their bags and extinguished the bonfire with snow in a very safety-conscious manner. However, while the few people were busy packing, Saul was the first to hear the movement. The silk is different from the strange sound of howling wind and snow.
Swish, swish, swish.
The sound was very rhythmic, a bit like the sound of objects sliding on the snow. When Sol heard the sound, he subconsciously thought it was the sound made by the classmates next to him. He thought someone was rubbing the snow with his feet, so he didn't pay attention to it. However, as the luggage was packed, he finished packing. , when Thor turned around to see how others were doing, he accidentally saw a strange scene:
About ten meters away from him and the squad leader, a pile of slightly protruding
The small snow patches on the ground were winding and circling towards them like living creatures, and then made a series of "rustling" sounds from far to near.
"Huh? What, what is this?"
The blizzard has not stopped since the moment it started falling, bringing extremely cold temperatures and also bringing some kind of expected trouble.
"Brother Peng, I, I'm cold, and... I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore..."
Trampling on the thick snow that was currently close to her calves, Tao Mei's face turned pale and her lips trembled. In addition to being choked by the low temperature, the woman was panting and moving slower and slower. Perhaps the continuous walking exhausted the woman's physical energy, and finally , walking, she explained the facts to Peng Hu next to her, saying that she could no longer support herself. Seeing that Tao Mei was about to die, Peng Hu, who had been frowning the whole time, frowned even more tightly.
Like other fleeing enforcers, he and Tao Mei had been running around since they escaped from the camp and followed He Fei's reminder to disperse, trying to find a place that could shelter from the wind and snow. The purpose was naturally to prevent being killed alive. Frozen to death. Unfortunately, they searched for half an hour, but found nothing. No matter how they searched, the surroundings were always covered with snow, and there was no place that could provide protection from the cold. If this continued, they probably wouldn’t have to wait for the Snow Ghost to take action. , they will be frozen to death by the low temperature and severe cold.
"What's wrong, sister, are you tired?" Seeing Tao Mei panting and walking slower and slower, Peng Hu asked with some concern as he glanced at the heavy snow around him. Tao Mei nodded noncommittally. Fortunately, Peng Hu's physical ability was different from As an ordinary person, although he is also cold and tired now, his strong physique can still allow Peng Hu to continue to persevere, so...
[In view of the general environment,
"Ah! Brother Peng, what are you..."
"Hehe, you're welcome. Brother Peng and I are very physically strong. For me, it's not too tiring to carry someone on my back."
As soon as Tao Mei nodded, Peng Hu bent down. Without even waiting for Tao Mei to refuse, he forcibly carried the woman on his back. Then he grinned and continued walking. This actually proved with his actual actions that he had a good impression of the woman. , of course, good impressions are not the point at the moment. The point is that Peng Hu’s efforts were not in vain. After carrying Tao Mei on his back, he continued walking in the snow for about 5 minutes, and appeared in front of him.
A forest.
"Huh? I looked for it and found it! It's a nice place there!"
Sure enough, when they saw the woods ahead and it was getting colder, the two of them were overjoyed! The moment Peng Hu saw the woods, he ran straight to the opposite woods. Yes, although a mere forest is not enough to completely block the strong wind and heavy snow, it can reduce the coldness to a certain extent. What's more, with the woods as cover, he was afraid of being The two people who didn't dare to light the fire the whole time after being discovered by the ghost were basically able to use local materials to keep themselves warm!
This is described, and it is also true. I ran all the way into the woods. The originally howling and harsh cold wind gradually decreased, and the bone-chilling low temperature seemed to have receded a lot. Soon, after arriving in the middle of the woods, I just put down the pottery. Mei, Peng Hu hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Sister, hurry up and pick up the branches. Let's light a fire now!"
"good!"
With the woods as cover, the two of them can safely light a fire to keep warm. At present, just as Peng Hu ordered, in order to raise the bonfire as soon as possible, the two of them are bending down to pick up branches. Next...
Picking it up, Tao Mei saw something. Just when she was looking around for branches, she instinctively moved slowly in a certain direction. After passing a certain big tree, a large piece of human footprints came into view.
Because the woods can block the heavy snow to a certain extent, the footprints are very clear. They are not covered by snow yet. They are clear and there are many. No matter how you look at them, they look like the footprints of a group of people. There are a lot of footprints in the woods, even if she is just an experience. As a newcomer, Tao Mei was still surprised and didn't care about picking up branches. She quickly turned around and shouted to Peng Hu: "Brother Peng, come and see!"
"What's wrong?" The result was positive. Under Tao Mei's somewhat nervous greeting, Peng Hu quickly rushed over and saw these rather messy human footprints.
At this moment, looking at the footprints in front of him, Peng Hu didn't speak for some reason. He just stared at the footprints without saying a word. He was obviously thinking about something through the footprints, while Tao Mei
Then he guessed decisively: "These footprints should belong to those students, right?"
"Well, that's it. After all, the snow ghost has appeared in the camp before. We can find the snow ghost. The students must have seen the snow ghost, and then they were The snow ghosts were so frightened that they fled in all directions, and some panicked students ran into the woods." Touching his stubble-covered chin, Peng Hu nodded and agreed with Tao Mei's guess, and also added a personal analysis. Finally, It is determined that these footprints most likely belong to students, that is, the group of camp teachers and students who were scared away by the snow ghost like the executor.
As for why Peng Hu is sure that all the footprints are from students and not from executioners? The reason is too simple. That's because Peng Hu is not blind. He knows exactly what kind of shoes the executioner is wearing. Through careful inspection of the shoe prints just now, there is no familiar shoe print on the scene.
Seeing that Peng Hu said that these footprints were from students, Tao Mei nodded in agreement, but felt quite disappointed. She thought she would meet other enforcers in the woods, but unexpectedly the footprints were all those of characters in the plot. After learning that the footprints came from characters in the plot, Tao Mei Mei didn't think much about it, but subconsciously thought that those students had left, and the footprints at the scene were those left by the students before. The overall situation was not a big deal, at least it had nothing to do with herself who came here later. Thinking of this, Tao Mei planned to continue picking up Branches, however…
"Huh? Brother Peng, what's wrong with you?"
When Tao Mei planned to continue busy, Peng Hu did not simply ignore the footprints like she did. Instead, he frowned and continued to observe. He first came to the center of the open space and looked down, then raised his head slightly and looked forward, observing the surroundings on the left and right. As far as the eye can see, except for the open space in the center, there are no footprints around, or there are no extended footprints on any distant ground that can connect to the outside of the woods. All the footprints stop abruptly after extending to a certain distance, and there are no footprints. What does it mean? Quite simply, it means that unless these students can fly, they haven't left at all, definitely not out of the woods!
Since they had never left the woods, why were these students missing? Why are there only footprints but no human beings?
Unlike Tao Mei, who was just a newcomer, as an experienced veteran, Peng Hu discovered the unusual details after just watching for a moment. Seeing the bald man frowning and not moving for a long time, Tao Mei was a little confused, so she turned to Peng Hu curiously. Ask, as for Peng Hu...
He did not answer or speak. Instead, he continued to move after discovering the abnormality and began to walk along the footprints. He randomly picked a footprint extending north and followed the footprints slowly until he came to the place where the footprints stopped abruptly.
After arriving at the location where the footprints disappeared, Peng Hu bent down and took a closer look, and then...
He saw ice shards, a collection of ice crystal particles that were extremely difficult to spot because they were exactly the same color as the snow.
Ding!
The moment he discovered the ice slag, Peng Hu's pupils instantly tightened, and his heart suddenly hung high in his chest. In addition, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his smooth head!
Seeing that the bald man's back was turned to her and there was no movement, Tao Mei became more and more confused. Then, driven by curiosity, she walked up to Peng Hu. When she came closer, she was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Peng Hu suddenly shook his head to signal for silence. In addition to signaling to Tao, In addition to Mei's silence, Peng Hu also took the initiative to hold Tao Mei's right hand which was next to him.
(Um?).
The bald man's inexplicable behavior made Tao Mei completely confused, and she stood motionless beside her. At the same time, while the woman was lost in confusion, behind a nearby tree, a small pile of snow began to move slowly. At an almost silent speed, he quietly left the tree, walked slowly towards the open space in front, and quietly approached Peng Hu Taomei who was gathering opposite!
Not long after, Jiuxue came behind the two of them, and then...
burst!
"ah!"
Suddenly, there was a strange noise, and just as it moved behind the two of them, the snow suddenly exploded into a cloud of snow and fog. Because the change happened so suddenly, Tao Mei was frightened when the snow and fog rose, and her body was frightened. She shivered and screamed, and at the same time looked back in panic to look behind her. Unfortunately, it was too late to look back now, because before the woman could turn her head, a pure white body had already appeared in the swirling snow and mist! This wasn't over yet. As soon as the pale body appeared, two slender and terrifying arms struck through the air, grabbing at Peng Hu who was in front of him and couldn't turn around no matter how he looked.
Tao Mei!
But the strange thing is...
Wow!
It was obvious that the white body appeared very quickly, and the movement of the probing hand was even faster, but just when the terrifying palm was about to touch the two of them, it was not even close.
At the last moment when they were just a few centimeters away from touching their necks, there was only a crashing sound, and snow and fog began to rise again! Following the explosive snow mist created instantly by the white body due to its appearance, another similar wave of low-temperature cold air suddenly emerged, but the difference is that this time the snow mist was not created by the white body, but by the white body. Made by Peng Hu, it suddenly appeared from under Peng Hu’s feet!
It is worth mentioning that when the second cloud of white snow mist rises under Peng Hu’s feet, if someone looks carefully, they will see a stone. A transparent stone with basically the same shape as a diamond has just fallen from Peng Hu’s feet. The tiger's palm fell straight down, but precisely because of the sudden fall of the transparent stone, a large amount of fog instantly rose from the ground. A huge amount of white fog spread instantly, lightning spread, and frost appeared extremely clearly in the middle, and the white fog spread to Wherever it was, frost covered it. For a moment, as the white mist spread, everything within 15 meters around it was frozen except for Peng Hu and Tao Mei, who was caught by it! There was already snow all over the place nearby, but in the face of the even lower temperature frost, even the snow was frozen, along with the white body sneaking up from behind!
The white body representing the abnormal low temperature was frozen, and was instantly frozen by another equally terrifying and unknown low temperature! At the last moment when he was almost touching Peng Hu and the two of them, his body froze!
Then……
As the white body suddenly solidified, Peng Hu moved in front of him. While Tao Mei was still screaming in fear, he quickly bent down to pick up the stone, and then quickly turned back to observe. The result was exactly as expected. Looking back, Ying What caught the eye was white, and it was a terrifying body that was nothing but white. The height of 3 meters, the hair that covered the head, all the appearances proved the identity of the other party...
Snow ghost!
The snow ghost had just attacked him, intending to freeze himself and Tao Mei into ice slag by touching him. He actually tried to kill the two of them instantly in the most trouble-free way. Fortunately, Peng Hu had been prepared. In fact, when he discovered the ice slag on the ground From then on, the bald man understood the truth and knew why the students who had come here to take shelter from the snow left the woods without leaving any footprints. It turned out that those students never left the woods at all! Instead, they died, all frozen into shards of ice! In addition, since the student died in the woods, doesn't that mean the snow ghost is also in the woods! ?
Thinking of this, Peng Hu was horrified on the spot. His hair stood on end, stimulated by the growing desire to die. He wanted to take Tao Mei and run out of the woods immediately. Although the idea of escape was strong, Peng Hu was an experienced veteran after all. Through his previous experience in the camp, he knew that this snow ghost likes to make sneak attacks and is used to killing humans in a silent way. If the snow ghost really hides in the woods, the opponent's attack method will most likely be a sneak attack. In this kind of situation, When the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, blindly running away will only lead to faster death. After all, no one knows how the snow ghost will attack.
Ever since, in order to avoid being attacked and killed by ghosts during his escape, Peng Hu thought of a countermeasure, suppressed the idea of escape immediately, and then deliberately stood there and pretended to be in a daze, and used a flaw to lure the snow ghosts to show up and attack him, and he I had already quietly taken out the props and took out the frozen stone that was said to be able to freeze everything!
Yes, this is Peng Hu's plan. It is a strategy that only experienced people dare to use. It is also a life-threatening gamble. The reason why it is described as life-threatening is because Peng Hu knows that the snow ghost cannot be killed. He has witnessed it with his own eyes. Having experienced the Snow Ghost resisting Chen Xiaoyao's ultimate move without getting hurt, he is well aware of the Snow Ghost's power. It can be said that, except for some props that have the effect of expelling or imprisoning ghosts, which may have an impact on the Snow Ghost, no props can harm the Snow Ghost. When it comes to snow ghosts, it naturally includes the golden light talisman he is used to using. The golden light talisman can only protect himself for a short period of time and has neither the ability to expel ghosts nor the effect of imprisoning ghosts. If you want to truly escape from the woods from the threat of snow ghosts, , there are only two methods, either to expel the snow ghost, or to trap the snow ghost. First of all, you can be sure that you do not have the tools to expel the ghost, so...
Frozen stones that can freeze the spirit body for a long time become the only choice!
Not only that,
In order to prevent Tao Mei from being frozen together, Peng Hu also deliberately grabbed Tao Mei while taking out the stone. Yes, as the owner of the prop, Peng Hu knew all the characteristics of the frozen stone. Although this stone can freeze It blocks everything except the user, but if someone comes into physical contact with the user, they are actually immune to the ice seal, so he grabbed Tao Mei's right hand in advance before using the prop.
Of course, considering the characteristics of the Snow Ghost, Peng Hu was actually a little flustered when he planned to use the Frozen Stone to deal with the Snow Ghost. There is no denying that the Frozen Stone has extremely terrifying freezing abilities, but the Snow Ghost also has a perverted ability. The low-temperature characteristics of the snow ghost, what should we do if the snow ghost is immune to freezing?
The above worries are all true, but Peng Hu has never been the kind of person who looks forward and backward. In other words, his essence is the same as He Fei, a person who dares to gamble with his life at critical moments!
As a result, Peng Hu thought he had won the bet.
At this moment, as Peng Hu turned to look at Snow Ghost, he saw that Snow Ghost was frozen! This ghost, whose whole body was filled with abnormally low temperatures, was actually frozen. A large sheet of frost enveloped its body, turning it into a solidified ice sculpture! Unexpectedly, the Snow Ghost, who always likes to use ice to kill people, would also be frozen one day, but there is a difference. Compared to the Snow Ghost who freezes a human being with only frost all over his body, the freeze made by the frozen stone is more obvious. With the snow, The ghost is covered by other low-temperature packages that do not belong to it. Its body is not only covered with frost, but also covered with a very thick layer of transparent ice. Currently, the Snow Ghost is sealed in the ice!
only……
Seeing the snow ghost unable to move due to the ice, Peng Hu was overjoyed! He planned to take the opportunity to run away with Tao Mei, but just when the bald man was about to turn around, he stopped. In addition to the sudden stop, the look of fear on his face that was full of joy just now also appeared again!
As for the reason?
The reason was that he saw an unexpected scene. He saw with his own eyes that the thick ice surrounding the snow ghost began to thin. It began to reduce in thickness at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if it was being dissolved by high temperature and quickly thinned and faded. , No, that is not dissolution. When ice cubes dissolve, water will always flow out, but the ice cubes that are disappearing now have no water stains flowing out at all, so this is not dissolution, but...
absorb!
At this moment, under Peng Hu's eyes that were opening wider and wider, the thick ice cubes surrounding the snow ghost were thinning and decreasing little by little, and were suddenly sucked into the body of the snow ghost! ! !
