Chapter 700 Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom
Dragging the body of a wild wolf, Lin Zhen returned to the cave.
Cut off a piece of meat and eat it raw before it is completely frozen.
In order to survive, this little bit of suffering is nothing for a warrior.
But Lin Zhen's heart became heavier and heavier. He couldn't even smell the fishy smell of the wolf meat in his mouth.
His stress did not come from the taste of these things, nor from the cold and scars, but from loneliness.
If he continues like this, his body won't be able to hold on for long, but Lin Zhen has not yet found the motivation to keep going.
It was impossible for him to find fire here, nor was there a warm place for him to heal his wounds. Chris analyzed that he had less than a month to live, and if he wanted to hold on, he had to stimulate his life potential.
The potential of life is not so easy to stimulate. There must be something, an event to give him strength. Lin Zhen knows this very well.
As night fell, the sound of wolves howling could be heard again from the distant snowfield.
This time the night was particularly long. Lin Zhen had even eaten all the blood of the wolf, but it was still dark outside.
In addition to wolves and bears, there are also fast-running deer on the snowfield, but Lin Zhen can't catch them. Only wild beasts like wolves that actively attack can become his food.
In the past nights, the snowfield was an extremely cold place with howling winds and flying snow in the dark. Lin Zhen could only curl up in the cave and shiver.
But this time, Lin Zhen didn't want to stay in the cave any longer.
He wanted to go out and take a look in the dark. Staying here would only mean waiting for death. Since he was going to die, he might as well go and see some places he had never seen before. This time, the long dark night was coming, and if his guess was correct, it should be the polar night.
The polar night is the coldest period in the polar regions and may last for several months. He cannot wait to die here.
"Since that voice told me that this is the northernmost part of the God's Punishment Star, then it should be similar to the North Pole on Earth, and there must be a North Pole."
"Go to the North Pole instead of staying in a sheltered cave!"
This is an extremely difficult decision. Few people would dare to walk out of the relatively warm cave and into the dark, snowy night to look for an unknown hope.
Wrapping the wolfskin tightly around his body, Lin Zhen did not go to the snowfield in front of the cave this time. He saw that the snow wolves and other animals were all going to the back of the cave, so the other side of the mountain should be the farther north.
The cold stone in his hand gave him some strength, and dragging his bruised and battered body, Lin Zhen began to climb over the mountain.
*********** "What did you say? The queen is missing?" Liang Zhihuan was stunned when he heard Shi Xiaomao's report.
"Your Majesty, she is not missing. She left the palace three months ago. It's just that we have been kept in the dark and no one knows about it."
As he spoke, Shi Xiaomao took out a video clip from three months ago. It was the day after Lin Zhen disappeared. Ning Qingxuan closed the palace gates, saying that she wanted to practice and would not see anyone. She also notified Liang Zhihuan at that time.
Liang Zhihuan didn't say much, as long as Ning Qingxuan was still there.
But unexpectedly, Ning Qingxuan left the palace that day, and the guards were fixed on her from a distance. Only a high-powered surveillance camera in a corner captured the scene of Ning Qingxuan leaving.
A person rode her five-colored deer and left the palace.
Later, Ning Qingxuan appeared in another picture taken by a planet explorer. Ning Qingxuan rode a deer across the starry sky and went straight into the depths of the galaxy. No one knew what she was doing.
"Endless Starry Sea, did she go to the Endless Starry Sea?"
Liang Zhihuan didn't speak for a long while. Although the Endless Starry Sea was also the Metaverse, in the consciousness of the people in the Metaverse, the Endless Starry Sea was another world, which was full of risks and unknowns, and even had alien tribes. The people living on the ground were somewhat afraid of the Endless Starry Sea.
It was too big and too vast, what was Ning Qingxuan doing there? After thinking for a while, Liang Zhihuan asked Shi Xiaomao, "Have you found any clues?"
"Your Majesty, the day before the Queen left, she seemed to have looked up a lot of information. She even borrowed books from the Royal Library. They were all star maps. She seemed to be looking for some planet, but I really can't guess which planet she was looking for."
The more Liang Zhihuan listened, the uglier his expression became. Finally, he snorted coldly, "No need to guess. She is looking for the Star of Divine Punishment!"
"What? How can we find the Star of Divine Punishment?" Shi Xiaomao was shocked.
"Nothing is difficult for a person who sets his mind to it. Since she dared to go out, maybe she found some clues. But I don't understand, if she goes out, what will happen even if she finds the Star of Divine Punishment? Can she find the missing Lin Zhen?"
Shi Xiaomao remained silent. This topic was really difficult to continue. Was the Queen planning to have an affair?
"We must find the queen back."
Liang Zhihuan said this in a decisive tone, and then closed his eyes: "This is something that ordinary people can't do. Go to Qingye Sect and invite Aunt Tie, the master of the Queen, to come over. Now the Queen can only be found by her master and shocked."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
************ Another month has passed since the battle on the Divine Punishment Star.
Of the 100 million people a month ago, only 30 million remain now.
Evenly distributed among 400 small war zones, each zone has less than 100,000 people, which is a huge difference compared to the hundreds of millions of people in one war zone at the beginning.
Jun Mo, who had just killed several Undead Knights, answered the phone.
"I am Qin Jianfeng!"
"Ah! So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daqin. Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Jun Mo, your Fire Phoenix clan's territory borders my Great Qin. We are neighbors, so we can be considered neighbors. In this battle on the Divine Punishment Star, I did not take the initiative to kill your Phoenix clan members, but you'd better restrain your Saint. I don't care how presumptuous she is, but you can't use my Great Qin warriors as a target. This is forcing me to take action."
"Ah! Qingluan actually attacked the Great Qin warrior?"
"That's right. Just now, she ambushed one of our teams and killed hundreds of people. Jun Mo, I don't like killing women, but if there is a next time, I hope you can make a decision and not bring disaster to your Phoenix clan!"
After the call was hung up, Jun Mo's face was gloomy. It was true that he liked Feng Qingluan, but he was also the young master of the Phoenix clan. For the sake of the interests of the entire clan, he could not let her continue like this.
********* Lin Zhen stabbed the bar of rock in his hand into the ice and snow, using it as a leverage point, and finally climbed the last high mountain.
Holding on to the edge of the mountain with both hands, Lin Zhen showed his head.
Night, still night! But the night at this moment is different from the previous ones.
At the horizon ahead, green, blue and cyan light poured down from the sky and landed on the ground in the distance.
Aurora! It's the Northern Lights!
Unlike the auroras on Earth, these lights seem to fall in one place. No matter how they twist in the sky, they will eventually fall on the same point.
"What is that? What is attracting the Aurora?"
Lin Zhen grabbed some ice and snow from the ground and put a little into his mouth. The cold made his lips numb, and his hands and mouth were covered with cracked chilblains and festering wounds, proving that his physical condition was extremely poor.
His skin was an unhealthy blue color and he was almost frozen. Lin Zhen couldn't even feel his blood flowing.
But he persisted. Chris said he could only hold out for twenty-five days, but he persisted for a month. In a month, he walked out of the vast snow-capped mountains and saw the northern lights.
Perhaps there will be some surprises waiting for him beneath the northern lights.
I stumbled forward. The ground was no longer snow, but thick ice. When I stepped on it, one of my toes broke easily, making a crisp sound of fracture.
Lin Zhen, however, didn't feel anything at all and continued to move forward with an expressionless face. He had suffered too many injuries and didn't care whether it was a little more or a little less.
It took us more than ten days to walk this journey.
When the scenery at the point where the northern lights fell appeared before his eyes, Lin Zhen was so cold that he couldn't even blink.
His entire body was covered with a thick layer of frost, and he even made a robot-like clicking sound when he walked.
Bathed in the aurora, Lin Zhen looked at the extremely beautiful flowers on the ground.
That's a snow lotus!
The beauty of this flower goes beyond the concept of normal flowers. Its entire body seems to be made of ice and snow, with rays of light flowing on it. Although it has not yet bloomed, it is already breathtakingly beautiful.
"Ice! Light! These two elemental energies are actually manifested to their ultimate perfection in this flower."
When he reached the flowers, Lin Zhen felt extremely cold, and his internal organs seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The aurora flowed slowly above the flower bud, and the pure light element made Lin Zhen palpitate.
"It's so beautiful. This flower is a combination of the spirit of heaven and earth. The extreme coldness and the pure light element are combined. It represents the ultimate of the two powers."
"One is the speed of light, and the other is absolute zero!"
"Now that I'm here, I must ensure that this flower blooms smoothly. As for whether I can comprehend the power of ice and light, that depends on fate."
Lin Zhen quickly found an excuse for himself. He must see the day when this magical snow lotus blooms. He will not die unless he sees that scene.
A crack appeared in the ice, and a twisting ice silkworm appeared.
Its target was the snow lotus and it crawled over quickly.
Just as it approached, an ice sculpture next to the snow lotus suddenly moved, and a rock smashed the ice silkworm hard on the ice! The ice silkworm bit the man fiercely before dying, injecting a powerful toxin, but the ice sculpture-like man did not move.
The breathing method, which was originally a skill only used by beginners of martial arts, has now become Lin Zhen's means of saving his life.
Using a breath to protect his heart, Lin Zhen no longer cared about the pain in his body.
He was waiting here, guarding, and waiting for the moment when the flowers bloomed! In the blink of an eye, more than nine months had passed since Lin Zhen disappeared! (End of this chapter)
