"There are people down there," she whispered.
"Other teams? How many?" Li Changzhou asked.
"The icicles were falling too fast, I couldn't see clearly, but it looked like there were three."
Li Changzhou nodded.
They moved slowly, in groups of four, with only one person moving at a time while the other three acted as 'anchors' to prevent the person from falling.
Once the four reunite, Li Changzhou and Yete, who are in the lead, will continue downwards, and this process will repeat.
At this speed, they won't run into other teams.
However, they still encountered each other; the other party was climbing upwards.
"Something ghost is coming up!" Yete's face twitched with tension, because he couldn't look down and couldn't tell if it was a living person or a frozen corpse.
But whether it's a living person or a frozen corpse, it's deadly in this kind of place.
The old man's voice also became tense: "Captain!"
He couldn't read any further. Li Changzhou was also unable to fight. It was alright if it was an ice corpse, but if the opponent was a holder of 'great power,' especially that child...
We need to change the terrain.
The dark serpent poked its head out from behind Li Changzhou and bit into the ice wall beside him, chewing away at the solid ice to create a hole.
The dark serpent swung its tail, unleashing seven tails that hooked Yang Qinglan, Tali, the old man, Andy, and the others.
The dark serpent darted into the cave, its tail following it in. By the time the seven people came to their senses, they were already standing inside the cave.
"Captain!" Yete shouted to Li Changzhou outside the cave.
Darkness cannot pull Li Changzhou up out of thin air, just as he cannot ascend to heaven by stepping on his right foot with his left and vice versa.
A black hand rose high from behind him, and with a loud bang, it gripped the ice wall above his head like a claw. He gently pushed against the ice wall with his feet, and he landed in the cave like a swallow.
“The captain’s skills are even better than before,” Berts said.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The old man drew his curved sword, and the others also took out their weapons.
The old man and Andy stood close to the ice wall at the cave entrance.
Yete and Booz, both wielders of steel swords, stood in front, drawing the enemy's attention.
"What if it's a human? Should we kill them?" Andy asked excitedly.
"If you lay a hand on us, we'll kill your father and mother too!" Berts shouted, the usually quiet but burly man seemingly trying to bolster his courage with his voice.
Stonefist, shield in hand, took a deep breath in tension. Despite being a shield bearer, he wasn't at the front; behind him was Tali.
"Tali! Light the fire!" the old man whispered.
"I'm doing it!"
"Fast!"
"Yes!" Tali lit the arrowhead.
"No matter what it is, remember to light your bow and arrows immediately. If it's an ice corpse, only fire and the abyss can kill this kind of monster," the old man instructed the newcomer. "Ice corpses are incredibly strong. It's impossible to knock them down from a vertical ice wall."
“Yes!” Tali replied.
Everyone held their breath.
As the sounds of climbing grew closer, a nameless fear welled up inside me, like a body that had been submerged in icy water being suddenly lifted up and then blown by a cold wind.
"It's an ice corpse!" Yete shouted.
Three corpses rushed into the cave!
"Andy!" the old man shouted.
Andy and he both crouched down, aimed at the corpse's legs, and handed over their curved knives.
laugh!
The blade pierced the flesh, severing both legs.
Two bodies fell to the ground with a thud, and a rocket hit one of them precisely.
"Back off!" the old man roared again, quickly retreating.
Yate and Berts stepped forward with steel swords, while Tally nervously ignited the second rocket.
Three corpses might be a near-death experience for a warrior like the old man who had spent his entire life fighting on the ice wall, but they posed no threat in the cave that Li Changzhou had created.

However, Andy was slowed down by the cold, and he was a step too late in retreating.
The corpse, whose legs had been severed, used its frost-covered right hand to clamp around his right ankle.
"Got him! I've got him!" The corpse exclaimed with elation, extending his left hand and then clasping his hands together.
It erupted like a powerful flood.
"Ah!" Andy screamed violently, his face contorted into a grotesque shape for a moment due to the excruciating pain.
Andy!
The old man's legs, which had been retreating, suddenly pushed off the ground.
"Old man!" Yete shouted and followed, with Berts close behind.
"We've got him! We've got him!" the three corpses shouted, their voices filled with wild joy.
The burning corpse dissolved in the flames like a liquid.
Kacha~
The neck, melting in the flames, could no longer support the head, which rolled to the ground like a fireball, yet it continued to scream.
"Take him back! Take him back!"
The only remaining standing corpse, like a wheelbarrow, scooped up the legs of the body that was grabbing Andy's ankle and walked backwards out of the cave with a look of satisfaction on its face.
The scene of jubilation before my eyes was utterly bizarre.
The old man drew his scimitar once more, his eyes bloodshot, and pounced like a hungry wolf, cleanly severing the corpse's hands and rescuing Andy.
"Huh?" The corpse was stunned for a moment.
"Give it back! Give it back to him!" The two corpses went mad.
The corpse with its limbs intact tossed aside the legs of another corpse in its hands and crashed into the old man.
The old man charged forward relentlessly, and now he had nowhere to retreat.
"ah!
"Yet and Bert roared, their voices cracking from the shock."
