Frozen Ghost Domain
The towering ice walls, like two enormous ice walls, isolate the outside world.
The swirling snow fog obscured the view, making it possible to vaguely see only a few meters ahead.
Light seems to have lost its effect here; the canyon is always dark, with only the occasional faint ray of light shining through gaps in the clouds bringing a touch of brightness to this gloomy environment.
The surrounding ice walls reflected the faint light, creating an eerie blue-white hue that sent chills down one's spine.
A beam of light shone into the dim environment, illuminating a small area.
Xiao Wujie and Lu Zhufeng walked side by side in the dim canyon, with Lu Zhufeng's flashlight barely illuminating their path.
The cold wind blew across the ice, making a series of mournful sounds, as if countless ghosts were whispering.
The snow fog wandered like a ghost, changing shapes in the beam of the flashlight, sending chills down one's spine.
The ice beneath our feet was covered with a thin layer of snow powder, and each step produced a subtle crunching sound. This sound was exceptionally clear in the silent canyon, echoing in our ears, which was extremely eerie.
Lu Zhufeng hunched his shoulders, holding a flashlight in one hand and rubbing his arm with the other, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.
He felt that the air here was filled with an eerie atmosphere, as if an invisible hand was gently touching his back, making him feel terrified.
Suddenly, a loud "crack" sound came from the snow mist, extremely jarring in the silent space.
Lu Zhufeng shuddered violently and instinctively jumped up, moving closer to Xiao Wujie.
"What the hell is that sound?"
Xiao Wujie, however, was not as panicked as he was; instead, he looked thoughtful.
A faint shimmering light danced in his eyes as he gazed intently into the depths of the snow mist, searching for the source of the sound.
After a long while, the light in his eyes faded, and his face became silent.
Seeing his expression, Lu Zhufeng couldn't help but ask:
"what happens?"
Xiao Wujie took a deep breath, his voice filled with seriousness.
"That's the sound of ice breaking and moving. The ice here is constantly breaking, moving, and piecing itself back together."
"Like building blocks being manipulated, the terrain is constantly changing!"
After speaking, he looked solemnly back at the road he had come from.
Although the snow and fog obscured his vision, he could still clearly see that a tiny crack had appeared there.
I'm afraid this road will disappear soon!
"Holy crap, what the hell is this place? It's so creepy!"
Lu Zhufeng couldn't help but let out a strange cry.
As soon as the sound faded, several faint strange noises rang out from the snow and mist, and a few dark shadows flashed by before quickly disappearing.
"Oh my goodness!"
This sudden movement startled Lu Zhufeng so much that he immediately wrapped his arms around Xiao Wujie and pressed his entire body against Xiao Wujie.
Xiao Wujie slapped his hand away with a look of disgust, his voice full of speechlessness.
"It's just a few polar creatures, is it really that big of a deal?"
Watching the dark figure quickly disappear into the snow and mist, Lu Zhufeng finally realized that it must have been frightened by his voice.
Oh shit!
He thought it was something scary!
Meeting Xiao Wujie's disdainful gaze, he couldn't help but cough twice.
"Um... I just haven't seen it before..."
He glanced around a few times, then suddenly lowered his voice, which trembled as he spoke:
"Are there any of those monsters from the books here?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie nodded without hesitation.
Monsters, simply put, are things that people have never seen before. This is a place that humans have almost never set foot in, so naturally there are many things that are beyond human comprehension.
He has exceptional perception and can see things that ordinary people cannot.
He could faintly hear the deep, distant echoes from the depths of the canyon, as if some indescribable being was watching everything from the shadows.
Even God and his gang of lunatics dare not set foot here; there must be far too many untold secrets hidden here.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhufeng covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes trembling slightly.
It actually exists?
Was I just actively summoning a monster to eat him?
Are they afraid the monster won't notice?
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wujie couldn't help but sneer.
"What? Scared?"
This time, Lu Zhufeng didn't deny it and nodded tremblingly.
He was afraid of fighting, killing, bloodshed, and sacrifice, but it was precisely the unknown that was most frightening, and even someone as strong as him would instinctively feel afraid.
However, after glancing at Xiao Wujie's calm expression, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Why does this dog look so fearless?
Am I really just too bad at the game?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Xiao Wujie gave him a "practice makes perfect" look, then turned and walked forward.
Lu Zhufeng immediately felt that his noble personality had been insulted, and couldn't help but glare at his back.
After glaring at him, he quickly followed after him.
Damn it, wait for me!
I'm really scared~
In this forgotten land, even time seems to stand still.
Before them lay endless darkness, and the two walked for an unknown amount of time within it.
As time went on, Xiao Wujie's face gradually turned pale, his strength waned, and his steps became unsteady.
Lu Zhufeng, who was beside him, immediately noticed his strange behavior, pulled him to a stop, put the two supply bags on the ground, and helped him sit down.
Sure enough, he was still very useful!
He secretly praised himself, then took out a thermos from the side of his bag, poured a lidful of hot water, and handed it to Xiao Wujie.
"Take a rest! You're not feeling well!"
After tightening his coat and taking a couple of sips of hot water, Xiao Wujie felt a little better.
Seeing that he was unwell and reluctant to drink more water, Lu Zhufeng couldn't help but urge him:
"I'll leave you plenty of hot water; I'll just drink bottled water."
Xiao Wujie chuckled at him upon hearing this, then shook his head.
Although they brought a considerable amount of supplies, in such a desolate place, even the largest amount of supplies can be exhausted.
Especially in such a freezing environment, a sip of hot water can even save a life.
While resting, he was also thinking about things.
At this rate, he fears he'll never find Chu Liyue and Yun Mo in his lifetime. The supplies they carried, and his own physical condition, are unlikely to last long in this environment.
He gently tugged at the collar of his sweater, his eyes thoughtful, staring unfocused at his feet.
He had been searching for any trace of them along the way. As long as he could catch even a glimpse of their presence, he would have a way to quickly pinpoint their location.
I regret it now. I should have kept a strand of Chu Liyue's hair or brought a piece of her clothing. That way, I could have used the remaining scent to quickly locate her.
Just as he was momentarily distracted, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled, and a crack appeared out of nowhere, causing the ice beneath his feet to shatter instantly...
