Chapter 76 Quickly Transmigrate! Fate of the Ice Star (Twenty-Eight)
Just when the team was fully prepared and about to set out for the ruins again, Shu Yang received an anonymous letter. There was no signature or address on the envelope, only the words "Shu Yang personally wrote".
He opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. Lines of beautiful handwriting came into view:
"Don't go near the ruins again. That is not a place you should set foot in, or you will suffer the consequences!"
Shu Yang's pupils suddenly shrank. Who wrote this letter to him? Was it a kind reminder or a malicious warning?
He clenched the letter in his hand, and scanned the faces of each team member, finally landing on the worn-out "Ice Field Records" on the table. An ominous premonition surged in his heart...
"Get ready to go!" He gave the order decisively, with a resolute tone, as if he had made some important decision.
The biting cold wind blew, sweeping up the ice and snow on the ground and hitting the entrance of the ruins. Shu Yang led the team, fully armed, and stepped into the giant ice cave that had been sleeping for a thousand years with a serious look.
"Everyone be careful, keep in formation, and watch your feet!" Shu Yang reminded in a low voice, illuminating the road ahead with the searchlight in his hand.
Ancient and mysterious patterns were carved on the ice walls on both sides of the passage, as if telling a forgotten history. While identifying the direction, Guide Wu explained the stories behind these patterns to the team members, trying to find clues about the ruins from these legends.
"Wait!" Technician Zhou, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped. He used the detector in his hand to scan the ground in front of him. The pointer on the dial shook violently. "Something's wrong!"
"It's an energy reaction!" Researcher Ma adjusted his glasses, with a hint of excitement in his tone, "It looks like we're getting closer and closer to our goal."
However, Shu Yang did not relax his vigilance. He signaled Officer Sun to come forward and check. Officer Sun carefully pushed away the snow on the ground, revealing a metal plate with complex patterns engraved on it.
"It's a machine gun!" Shu Yang recognized it immediately. He had seen similar records in "Ice Field Chronicles" before. "Everyone retreat!"
In a flash, the metal plate suddenly sank, and dozens of sharp ice arrows shot out from the surrounding ice walls. Shu Yang reacted quickly, pulling Feng Ziang beside him, and narrowly avoided the attack. The other team members also showed their skills and quickly found cover.
"Let me try!" Engineer Zhou calmly observed the operation of the device. With his rich experience and superb skills, he quickly found a way to crack it. He took out the tools from his backpack and began to disassemble it precisely.
After the mechanism was lifted, the team continued to move forward. However, the danger did not end there. During an exploration, Feng Ziang accidentally touched a protrusion on the wall. There was a tooth-grinding friction sound, and the ice walls on both sides of the passage suddenly cracked. Countless unknown creatures with sharp teeth and a foul odor rushed out from inside and rushed towards everyone frantically...
"Oh no! It's the Ice Spider!" Director Wu screamed in shock, his face changing drastically, "Everyone be careful, these guys are extremely poisonous!"
"Icefield Demon Spider!?" Feng Ziang shouted in surprise while fending off the attack of the Demon Spider, "How can there be such a thing?!" These creatures have an ugly appearance like a spider, but have poisonous tails like scorpions, and green liquid dripping from their mouthparts, which are obviously full of poison.
"Calm down! They are afraid of high temperatures!" Guide Wu waved the signal stick in his hand and reminded everyone loudly. The top of his signal stick was burning with a special flame, which was the summary of his many years of experience on the ice field. He knew that he could not panic when dealing with these creatures, and he had to find their weaknesses.
Shu Yang made a prompt decision and pulled out a special energy gun from his waist. This weapon can fire high-temperature rays, which is just right for restraining the ice spiders. Blue light flashed in the narrow passage, and several spiders fell to the ground. Feng Ziang also reacted and pulled out the dagger he carried with him. Under the blessing of the flame, the dagger seemed to turn into a burning sharp blade, chopping down the spiders that came up one by one.
"Ah!" A cry of pain was heard. Technician Zhou was unable to dodge and was scratched on the arm by the sharp claws of a demon spider. The bright red blood instantly dyed the white snow red.
"Technician Zhou!" Researcher Ma exclaimed, and wanted to step forward to help, but was held back by Shu Yang.
"You protect Technician Zhou, leave this to us!" Shu Yang pushed Researcher Ma to Technician Zhou's side and turned around to join the battle.
Although Technician Zhou was injured, he still endured the pain, took out a small device from his backpack, and began to debug it. "This is my latest sonic repellent, which should be able to temporarily repel these monsters!"
"Well done! Technician Zhou!" Feng Ziang waved the dagger and took the time to give a thumbs up to Technician Zhou.
As a burst of high-frequency sound waves were emitted, the Icefield Demon Spiders hissed in pain and retreated one after another, not daring to approach. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu Yang, Feng Ziang and others quickly gathered around Technician Zhou, forming a defense circle to protect the injured Technician Zhou and Researcher Ma.
However, just when everyone thought they were temporarily safe, an extremely huge Demon Spider King crawled out from the depths of the tunnel. Its eyes were fixed on the horse researcher at the back of the team, with greed in its eyes...
When Officer Sun An saw this, he rushed forward without hesitation and stood in front of Researcher Ma, "You run! I'll stop it!"
The Demon Spider King roared, and its eight thick spider legs rubbed against the ground, making a sound that made people's teeth ache, and it suddenly rushed towards Officer Sun An. Officer Sun An did not retreat but advanced, and the energy gun in his hand sprayed out a scorching beam, hitting the Demon Spider King's head. However, this seemingly fatal blow only left a shallow mark on the Demon Spider King's head. The Demon Spider King roared, and its sharp spider legs pierced towards Officer Sun An like lightning.
"Be careful!" Feng Ziang shouted in surprise, and wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Shu Yang. "You protect Technician Zhou, I'll take care of this!" Shu Yang's eyes were firm, and he fired the energy gun in his hand continuously, forcing back the attack of the Demon Spider King and saving Officer Sun from the critical moment.
"Ahem..." Officer Sun An was injured internally by the powerful force of the Demon Spider King, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care. He struggled to stand up and continue fighting.
"Don't move! You're injured!" Researcher Ma shouted anxiously. He didn't expect that this usually taciturn man would burst out with such great courage in a critical moment.
"I'm fine! My duty is to protect everyone's safety!" Officer Sun said, enduring the severe pain, his eyes firm.
