Chapter 1961 Exploration in the Far North!

"Ah! Be careful!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded, and the cavalrymen on guard duty suddenly discovered something. It was a giant snow-white bear that was a head taller than an adult and weighed one or two thousand kilograms. This bear bared its teeth and looked ferocious. He looked ready to jump out from behind the tree and attack everyone at any moment.

Polar bear!

This kind of snow-white giant bear is no longer unfamiliar to everyone. We have encountered these behemoths that go south to look for food before. They are huge and powerful. With one slap, they can smash even rocks, even well-trained war horses. , if you are slapped by such a polar bear, your skull will be broken and you will fall to the ground and die.

If it was before this, everyone wouldn't have cared about it, but running all the way, everyone's physical energy, including Gang Qi, was greatly consumed, and they were no longer in peak condition. This cold place was originally the home ground of polar bears. Be careful, casualties are really easy.

"Be careful, don't anger it, approach slowly!"

"Everyone approaches slowly, cooperates together, and kills it as quickly as possible!"

"Those who have shields take out their shields and prepare to resist in the first row in front!"

…

The leading cavalry captain was very experienced and quickly issued a series of orders. Soon, more than a dozen elite cavalry formed a formation and immediately slowly surrounded the polar bear.

Everyone was tiptoeing and their pace slowed to an extreme.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Ten feet, five feet, two feet...

"No, Captain, there's something wrong with this polar bear!"

Soon, the scouts in the team felt something was wrong, and soon after, others also felt something was wrong. After everyone had been advancing for so long, the huge polar bear still maintained its previous posture, baring its teeth and looking ferocious. , but remained motionless.

Everyone had moved so far, but the beast didn't even blink its eyelashes. This was not what a living creature should be like, at least based on everyone's previous contact with such a vicious creature, this was definitely not normal.

"puff!"

Soon, a crossbow arrow shot out, hitting the polar bear in an instant. The polar bear remained motionless, maintaining its original posture, and when the crossbow arrow shot in, the sound that came out was not the sound of flesh and blood, but the sound of flesh and blood. It was faintly accompanied by an abnormal crisp sound.

Soon, everyone gathered around the polar bear. One of the cavalry reached out and touched it. The polar bear was extremely cold when he touched it, and even the hair on its body was as hard as steel needles.

"died!"

One of the cavalrymen spoke, and his whole body was shocked:

"This polar bear has been frozen into an ice sculpture!"

As soon as the voice fell, the cavalryman got lucky. He patted it casually, and with a crisp sound, half of the neck of the polar bear, which was taller than a human, disappeared. The fur and flesh on the body were all turned into fine pieces of ice, and what was exposed on the incomplete neck was not normal flesh and blood, but large blood-red "ice cubes".

The blood, meridians, blood vessels, muscles, and bones in its body all turned into ice.

For a moment, everyone looked at this strange scene in front of them, and they all looked at each other, speechless.

Polar bears have thick fur, fleshy palms and fat, and their ability to withstand extreme cold is far better than humans, and even much stronger than many human warriors.

Moreover, this huge polar bear had a fat body and did not die of starvation at all. It is really hard to imagine under what circumstances it would turn into an ice sculpture.

"Captain! There is something here, look!"

Before everyone could think deeply, the next moment, there was an exclamation in front of them.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the cavalry captain, and he quickly led everyone forward.

"Captain, look, look, there are a lot of frozen wolves here!"

Ahead, next to a huge cedar tree, an elite cavalryman pointed to the road ahead.

Everyone looked around and saw more than a dozen direwolves forming a huge arc, scattered in various places in the forest. Each of them had different expressions, either crouching or crouching, or hunched up, or huddled up, completely different. A pre-hunting pose.

"Snapped!"

One of the cavalry stretched out his hand and pushed, and one of the snow wolves immediately fell to the ground, his body breaking into several pieces.

Looking at the ice slag on the ground, everyone suddenly felt a creepy feeling. What could be the situation that could cause so many snow wolves to die just before hunting?

"Everyone, be careful, there is something unusual about this place!"

The cavalry captain looked alert and suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Along the way, everyone saw more and more animals that had been frozen to death. A snowshoe hare huddled in the grass, its eyes had been frozen blue. Under a cypress tree where two people hugged each other, an adult sika deer was frozen. He died there, his body connected to the ice and snow on the ground.

Arctic foxes, squirrels, deer, hedgehogs... As everyone went deeper, they found more and more animals that had been frozen to death. All the animals seemed to have been frozen to death in an instant.

"Captain, look, there is a house here!"

Soon after, everyone quickly made a new discovery. It was a simple cabin, several feet in diameter. The entire cabin was made of fir, cypress and other logs, and it was very rough.

"Be careful, there are barbarians!"

One of the troopers immediately became alert.

Along the way, everyone had already known that there were some tall barbarians living in tribes in this far north land.

These people eat hair and drink blood, wear animal skins or some simple cloths around their bodies, and live in extremely harsh conditions. Because they often fight with wild beasts and eat a lot of meat, most of them are tall and tall if they survive. They are born with supernatural powers, have a ferocious temperament, and are very good at fighting. Even the Turks are reluctant to provoke them.

Although the Turks are often regarded as barbarians by the Tang people, saying that they eat hair and drink blood, and are not at the same level as the farming culture of the Middle East, but to the Turks, these "savages" wandering in the far north are the real barbarians. people.

"Don't worry, they're dead!"

The cavalry captain's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. Before anyone could react, he pushed open the wooden door and walked straight in.

Barbarians are not fools. There are so many people advancing in the snow, making a crunching sound. If they were still alive, they would have rushed out long ago, and they would not be as quiet as now.

"…And even the polar bears are freezing to death. Do you think anyone can survive here?"

The captain's voice came from inside.

Everyone was startled, then understood something immediately, and followed him in.

Sure enough, the entire wooden house had been completely turned into an ice cellar, and next to a wooden table, everyone saw a family of three who had long been turned into ice sculptures.

They were wearing simple animal clothes, and there were dried lean meat on the table, as well as some simple tools. However, the three of them were wrapped in thick ice, and they were frozen there, with different expressions, motionless, and they had already It's a long time to be out of breath.

"There is a lot of meat on the table, and there are a lot of wild fruits they collected in the food tank, as well as a lot of dried meat. They are not short of food at all. This is not a normal death!"

A very experienced scout spoke.

This time to carry out the mission of the prince, everyone is an elite selected from thousands of people, but the scene in front of them is getting weirder and weirder.

When people encounter danger, they will make an emergency response. They will never stay still, let alone maintain the same movements as before eating. All the hunting wolves in the forest will be killed in an instant. , all of this is like a ghost, giving everyone an extremely uneasy feeling.

Having been in and out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood for a long time, everyone was a determined person. Even if the sword hit their brows, no one would blink, but the scene before them was completely beyond explanation with common sense.

Coming out of the wooden house, everyone was silent and extremely depressed.

"So... the prince has expected this scene a long time ago. Is this the real reason why he asked us to investigate?"

A cavalryman broke the silence and suddenly spoke.

This place is simply a restricted area of ​​life. Grass, trees, animals, and polar savages all died in a strange way. If it hadn't been for this time, everyone went out collectively, and one person, or several people, would have been scared to death. And escaped.

"Crack!"

While they were talking, suddenly, a continuous crisp sound came from their ears. Everyone turned their heads and looked around, just in time to see a giant tree nearly 100 meters tall. The crown of the tree shook, and large amounts of flying snow fell. The thick trunk As if he had lost his balance, he fell heavily.

Boom, snow and fog rolled into the sky, and large trees in the forest were squeezed and fell one after another.

But the next moment, with a huge roar, the nearly 100-meter giant tree suddenly broke into two parts under the violent impact. Countless debris flew into the sky, and it was actually filled with crystal clear ice crystals.

"!!!"

At that moment, time seemed to have stopped. Everyone was shocked as they watched this scene, the big tree falling, and the ice crystals filling the sky.

They only noticed that the animals and savages in the forest were frozen into ice sculptures. The house was wrapped in thick ice and was as cold as a cellar. However, no one expected that so many trees in the entire forest would also turn into ice sculptures. Ice sculpture.

This is a world of ice sculptures of death.

"Boom!"

When everyone was still shocked by this discovery, suddenly, the ground around them shook violently, and some ice crystal fragments were even thrown several inches high. And soon, the cavalry captain’s roar reached everyone’s ears:

"Go! Go quickly, everyone get out of here!"

The voice was different from before, with a hint of anxiety and urgency.

boom! Although they didn't know what was going on, everyone instinctively chose to follow the captain's wishes, and everyone flew quickly towards the place where the horses were tied.

And just for a moment, the roar behind him became more and more intense, like a sea tide, and the vibration of the earth became more and more intense. With the sound of rattling, large trees were knocked down, and the sound of falling to the ground came from behind. Come.

In a hurry, a cavalryman suddenly looked back with strong curiosity, but in that glance, as if he had been stabbed by a needle, his whole pupils shrank and his face changed.
