With a sinister smile, Wu Ming led Qi Zhenlong back to the group.
The two were genuinely frightened by Wu Ming's performance, after all, the tone of Wu Ming's voice didn't seem fake.
They didn't dare to move even after the main force had completely left their sight.
After a while, the sycophant finally felt scared: "Goddess, let's take another route, otherwise those people might really make a move."
That longsword was real; he still had wounds on his hand.
The goddess seemed startled as well, and nodded repeatedly.
Qin Bai didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all. He was thinking about something else: what was the use of the reward he received for completing the task?
He tried many methods, but none of them worked, as if he had gained nothing.
Qin Bai quickly put the matter aside and focused on his journey.
This time, however, they still hadn't seen any trace of the village by the time it was almost dark.
"That's not right. The map shows there should be a village nearby. How come there isn't one?"
Zeng Qiangguo took out a map, which showed that there was indeed a village here, but looking around, there was no sign of any houses.
Qin Bai frowned. If there was no place to rest, and they were exposed to the elements at night, some of them might really freeze to death.
Not only is the temperature lower at night, but if monsters like ice wolves appear, they will be constantly on the run.
"Keep searching and see if you can find a village. If you still can't find one, then you'll have to dig a cave."
Qin Bai said.
They set aside some time to search the surrounding area, but they couldn't find a trace of the village.
With only half an hour left before nightfall, Qin Bai immediately decided to have everyone with weapons start digging.
However, Qin Bai was soon slapped in the face by reality.
The hardness of frozen soil is surprisingly greater than that of ice; it's not that it's impossible to dig, but rather that the efficiency is too low.
With so many of them, even if they were all crammed together, it would still require a space of several tens of square meters.
Qin Bai made a decisive decision: "Dig underground!"
Sure enough, the ice underground was just as hard, but much better than the permafrost.
They started digging, digging downwards at an angle. After digging out an ice cave large enough to hold more than ten people, they started digging the next one.
Among them, Qin Bai's efficiency was the most astonishing, after all, he was a person with four superpowers.
His psychic abilities were useless this time; he only used his amplification ability to enhance his strength, and then added his sharpness ability.
Hard ice blocks are like tofu in front of his broadsword, but this also means that his superpowers are consumed more quickly.
However, this also led Qin Bai to discover something: doing this could actually train his control and consumption of his superpowers.
He gradually kept his energy consumption to a minimum, which would allow him to extend the duration of his special ability.
While a group of people struggled to dig out an ice cave, Qin Bai accomplished it all by himself, leaving the others in awe of his incredible skill.
It took them several hours, until late at night, to finally dig out ten ice caves, giving them a place to rest.
"This is the first time I've ever lived inside a block of ice. It feels just like the Eskimos described in books."
Qi Zhenlong had a good attitude; he was still full of energy at this moment.
Zeng Qiangguo glanced at Qi Zhenlong and laughed, "It's good to be young. I used to be like that too, full of energy every day. But I can't do that anymore, I'm old."
Because the ground and walls were made of ice, they couldn't rest directly on the ground. Fortunately, they had some other supplies with them.
They simply put these miscellaneous supplies on the ground and used them as mats.
Of course, it doesn't feel good, but it's much better than sleeping directly on ice.
Because of the Ice Wolf incident, Qin Bai now requires that someone must take turns keeping watch at night.
Qin Bai, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a scream.
His eyes snapped open, and he grabbed a large knife: "What's going on?"
"It's not here, it's in other ice caves."
Wu Ming immediately said.
Qin Bai rushed out. It was pitch black outside, and there were many chaotic sounds coming from an ice cave not far away.
He turned on his flashlight and ran over quickly.
Just then, a person climbed out from inside.
"What happened inside? Is it an ice corpse?"
Qin Bai grabbed him and asked.
Upon seeing that it was Qin Bai, the other person hurriedly explained, "Boss, I don't know either. I was sleeping soundly when I was woken up by a scream. I heard that woman shouting... 'A ghost?'"
His expression was quite strange when he said the last two words.
Is it a ghost?
In the past, Qin Bai would not have believed in ghosts or gods at all, but now it's hard to say.
"Everyone, come out!"
Qin Bai shouted into the room.
Upon hearing Qin Bai's voice, the people inside seemed to calm down, and then they crawled out one by one.
Qin Bai glanced around; the number of people was just right. He looked at one of the women; the scream he had just heard was from her.
What did you see?
Qin Bai asked directly.
"A ghost! There's a ghost! It's on the wall."
The woman was terrified and pointed down below.
Qin Bai looked at the entrance to the ice cave, and a cold wind swept over him, giving him a sinister feeling.
But if there really are ghosts, how come none of these people are alright?
Qin Bai sensed something was amiss, and he said to Wu Ming and the others who had just arrived, "You wait here, I'll go down and take a look."
"Brother Qin, be careful."
Qin Bai picked up the flashlight and slowly went down.
He quickly entered the ice cave, and the light illuminated the surroundings. Soon he saw a dark shadow on a wall.
He squinted, quietly tightened his grip on the Tiger Soul Blade, and slowly approached.
Once he got closer, he was finally able to see what the dark shape was.
That was actually...
A human face!
The face seemed to be embedded in the wall, and only a small part of it was visible, which is why the woman saw it and screamed.
To be honest, seeing something like this late at night without being prepared would definitely be frightening.
But he was puzzled. Logically speaking, the walls were dug out by people, so how could they not have seen this face at that time?
impossible.
If there were no faces at the time, but rather faces appeared later, what would that represent?
Qin Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he thought of this. He prepared to continue approaching, but just then, the face suddenly moved.
He opened his eyes, looked at Qin Bai, and then his face, exposed to the air, began to develop a layer of ice!
It was actually... an ice corpse!
