Chapter 251 Ruins of Ice Abyss (23)

The process of walking on the ice abyss is actually quite difficult, even for sublimated people. Although it is not difficult to walk, it is enough to be called hard work.

From the hills down to the gentle ice sheet, the wind and snow are still raging, but compared to the high places, it is slightly calmer. Compared with the surrounding ice cliffs and countless ravines and deep valleys, the ice sheet is composed of pure ice shells, and the terrain is low and flat. Because of the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, ordinary ice is as hard as steel.

But the strange thing is that on such a flat and solid ice field, there are one or two from time to time, and even many huge ice leaks and ice holes, leading directly to the deep and dark underground. It is dizzying.

No one can figure out how these holes are formed, and why they are so smooth and flat.

If Ian falls into it, it's okay for Ian to have Fairy Wings, but Isengard and Master Gosser are definitely doomedIan can't crawl out of such a smooth and solid ice hole on his back.

But in the process of crossing this dangerous ice field, Isengard reported to Ian an unexpected information that he didn't even notice.

"You mean, under these glaciers, there are some huge steel structures that are releasing heat... Those caves on the ice sheets are melted by the heat released by the steel structures?"

It's not that Ian doesn't believe in Ethan.

The other party has walked along the way, and the growth along the way is also visible to the naked eye. This young master of the Ellen family is now strong enough and has enough will to push his strength to fight, and become Ian's comrade-in-arms in battle, not a burden to be protected .

However, after he seriously used the perception range of the extended foreseeing horizon and added the perception of the silver chip, he was surprised to find that at a depth of at least 1,200 meters below the glacier...there was really a person from Isengard's mouth. Said huge structure!

"I'm not lying! It's just that the steel structure is very strange, each one is as square as a big coffin, releasing boiling heat, it looks quite scary..."

At the beginning, Isengard was still a little proud, but his tone became lower and lower, and he seemed a little uneasy: "This place is really weird, Ian, Teacher Gosai doesn't have an instinctive source of body protection now, and he always relies on potions to protect him." There is no way to hold on... Let's get out of here quickly, shall we?"

Isengard relies on his own blood to instinctively perceive heat, and detects some subtle temperature changes under the glacier. Although Ian can also sense it, only the numbers on the silver chip fluctuate little, which is within the normal error range.

The scope of the foreseeable horizon is not very large, and he needs to use the method of constriction to actively perceive to barely sense the huge steel structure at the bottom of the glacier.

"It's just a heat dissipation conductor. This is not a strange thing, but it just proved my guess again."

Thinking in his heart, Ian stared at the ice layer under his feetit seems that the relic ice abyss here should have been a huge natural underground cavity in the past, and it was transformed into a huge cooling reservoir by the civilization of the pre-epoch.

But suddenly one day, the cooling water that was supposed to be transported from the fusion power plant stopped coming, and only the ordinary flowing water poured in from seawater time and time again condensed into ice here, forming an ice abyss...until now.

But even so, part of the heat dissipation structure is still in operation. The steel conducts heat, causing hot air to continuously gushes out from the bottom of the ice layer and enters the ice abyss, forming ice, snow and wind, which dissolves and solidifies the ice abyss, causing the Deep ice caves.

After figuring this out, Ian couldn't help noddingIsengard's suggestion was correct. Whether it was for Master Goser or his own safety, it was the best policy to leave this place. If everything was as he thought, then the strange cliff in the ice abyss The reason for the formation of the rugged ice wall may be because the ice sheet here will collapse and break again and again, melting and condensing intermittently.

Maybe there is Everfreezing, but so what if you find it? It's not like they plan to settle here.

And just when Ian praised Isengard a few words, and asked the other party to tell him as soon as possible if any abnormal situation like the present one is discovered.

Suddenly, both of them heard the sound of violent explosions coming from the depths of the ice field in the distance.

"... the sound of the alchemy cannon?"

Both of them were a little startled, they looked at each other, and then made up their minds together, and walked quickly towards the direction of the explosion without saying a word.

The sounds of the alchemy cannons are also different. They can all hear that there are two kinds of sounds in this series of cannons.

One is the latest standard alchemy artillery of the Central Empire... and the other.

It is the Canaanite cannon used by pirates!

However, before Ian and Ethan hurried over, they wanted to understand why the artillery of the Empire and Canaan Moore fired in unison, as if they were joining forces to fight against the enemy.

Ian was the first to see, on the snow hill not far away, there were two black spots running in a hurry.

"Take care of Master Gesai, I'll go and see the situation."

Ian handed Master Gesai on his back to Isengard, and the other party readily agreed: "Be careful."

And when Ian accelerated and urged the Fairy Wings to cross a long distance in the air and land directly in front of the two black dots, the two fleeing people had no intention of attacking at all, they just rolled over and looked at them in horror. The 'monster' that descended suddenly in front of you.

However, when they saw Ian's appearance and confirmed that it was not some hallucination, they immediately stepped forward and shouted joyfully.

"Guide!" "Guide, are you still alive?"

The only people who would call Ian a guide, apart from the merchants in Port Harrison and the cities of Nanling, were the members of the exploration team.

"Blue Sail? And you... aren't Yi Sen's guard?"

Ian Dingqing took a look, and was surprised to find that the other party was really an acquaintanceone was the skinny shell-picking captain on the exploration ship, and he was also the first explorer to discover the shimmering crystal shell, while the other was simply a One of Sengard's two Ascended Guardians.

Both of them were covered with icy blood, and there were many wounds on their bodies, but fortunately they were not infected by brain-eating worms. Such minor injuries are trivial to sublimators.

"What's going on, isn't there a battle over there?"

Ian didn't put down his weapon, and still clenched the heavy iron sword in his hand. He frowned and asked the two of them. Although the two didn't know that after Ian left the exploration ship with Isengard, he drove the armor to kill the big shaman. record, but he knew that the strength of the young man in front of him was not weak.

Especially the latter, Isengarde's guards knew very well that Ian was a 'genius' who could kill all the natives with an ordinary fine iron long sword in a whole team of firearms troops.

So in order to prevent the temporary partner of this operation from being stupid, he spoke first and gave a general account of the current situation.
