Chronicles of Primordial Wars

It was pitch black inside the salt cave.

In the innermost place, where the fire crystals were dug, a dozen people were waving their weapons, trying to pry up the fire crystals on the ground next to them.

When the accident happened, the leader of the fierce fox and the leader of the forest tribe, because they fled in a hurry, they didn't have time to take away the fire crystal that had been dug up, and the basket containing the fire crystal was also kicked over. The crystals were scattered on the ground, frozen by the frost that spread out from the pit.

At that time, some people did follow the leader of the fierce fox tribe, but some people failed to escape and missed the best time to escape, so they stayed in the cave. Some of them felt that staying in the cave was the safest. , so he didn't follow the leader out of the hole.

Now, when the leader is not there, the people in the cave are dead, wounded, and no one cares about them. I heard from the people who ran out and came back. There was a huge beast outside. Hide first.

Someone knew about Huo Jing, so they moved their minds and came here, wanting to pry out all the Huo Jing on the ground. Fire crystal is still very attractive to totem warriors.

Four people were digging, a person next to him was holding a torch, and more than 20 people were guarding not far away, preventing others from coming to grab it. Fortunately, although some of the people who escaped into the cave also entered the lower salt cave, they did not rush to the innermost. They were worried that the innermost would not be safe, because there was a lot of frost and people who were frozen to death. . If it was safe, the two leaders at that time would not have run away.

Next to the fire crystal pit, the person holding the torch, even if it is close to the fire source, feels that the surroundings are chilly.

The ground around him was covered in white frost, and they hadn't seen with their own eyes what was going on here, but they could guess from what they saw.

"Hurry up!" urged the person watching not far away. They feel that the surrounding is too cold, if there is a fire crystal that can be used.

"It's just a fire crystal, why is it so slow!" someone muttered.

"Easy to put it, do you know how hard these ices are?!" The sword-wielding people gasped, and they didn't understand why the ice was harder the closer they got to the pothole, and the ice here was different from the ice outside. The difference is that it is too hard. Even though half of the fire crystal has been exposed, it is still hard to pick it up. The copper weapons in their hands are not very good, they can only be regarded as ordinary. They are the ones sold in large numbers by the merchants in Ancheng, and it is even more difficult to use.

The sword slashed, and the shards of ice splashed on their faces, necks, and mouths.

A soldier shrank his neck, shook, and stretched out his tongue to lick the ice chips that had just splashed on his mouth.

"Salty," said the man.

"Nonsense, of course the ones in the salt cave are salty."

"Hey, it's so cold!"

Suddenly hearing the movement, a soldier who was not far away shivered and said, "What happened outside the cave?"

There was the commotion of the crowd inside the cave, which made them very uneasy.

I vaguely heard someone shouting: "It's just outside, it's outside!"

"That giant beast came in?!" The person guarding there panicked.

"No, it can't get in, it definitely won't get in." I don't know if I'm comforting myself or persuading others.

"But the person in front..."

Before they could finish speaking, they heard a growl.

For the people in the upper salt cave, at this moment, they seemed to have encountered a strong wind with frost, which made people's breathing stagnate, and their eyes could not be opened, as if they were in a blizzard outside the cave.

And in the lower salt cave,

A soldier raised his hand to block the oncoming wind. The wind here is not as strong as above. After all, there are many people in the upper cave, and they blocked most of the strong wind.

"Hey, the people in front, what happened?!" a soldier shouted into the wind.

No one responded.

ka ka ka-

They seemed to hear such a sound in their ears.

Next to the Huojing Pit, the person holding the weapon to pry the Huojing also stopped at this time, and the torch beside it had been extinguished by the gust of wind just now.

The heat source disappeared, and the cold was biting.

The soldier holding the extinguishing torch, based on his memory, quickly hid in a recessed place in the back, took out the prepared ignition tool against the wind, skillfully identified the gelatinous substance smeared at one end of the ignition stick, and then took out a flint to rub it. .

call--

The flame ignited on the ignition rod. It's not hot enough, he wants to light the torch. The wind is getting smaller, and the torches should be able to burn.

However, before he could ignite the torch that had just been extinguished, the fire on the ignition rod went out instantly.

"Ma's!"

After scolding, the soldier felt the temperature around him getting lower and lower, breathing the air that was about to freeze his lungs, and whispered to the soldier who was digging for the fire crystal a few steps away: "Who among you guys has a spark stick on me? The last one has been used up."

No one responded.

There was dead silence all around.

The soldier wanted to say something, but he found that his consciousness seemed to have begun to detach from this body, and he could no longer feel the cold around him. He only felt that his body was heavy and stiff, and he couldn't move until he completely lost consciousness.

If there is light, you will find that this warrior has been covered with a layer of hoarfrost from his face to his feet.

And a few steps away, the person who originally dug the fire crystal, maintained the posture of holding the weapon, and stood there stiffly, without a breath or breath of life, and the more than 20 people guarding not far away did not have a heartbeat.

The rattling sound continued, the frost covered the upper and lower layers of the entire salt cave, and all life stopped.

On the other side, in the salt cave of Yanjiao.

The three leaders were dumbfounded, and they no longer knew what to show.

They also heard the voice just now, and they could feel the murderous aura from the voice. Strangely, this murderous aura is not that strong.

It's an intuition.

"Perhaps, it doesn't take us seriously at all. He just wants to take revenge on the person who disturbed it?" Shao Xuan said to the good, although he had the purpose of comforting others, he was not talking nonsense.

Just like when he lost his way in the cave of the stone worm king worm, the surrounding stones were also changing, he was not too far from the king worm, he didn't believe that the king worm didn't notice his existence. Just ignore it, just like when people walk on the road, they ignore an ant by their feet.

"Or is it only in a good mood today, so the murderous aura is not strong?" Zheng Luo tentatively said. Shao Xuan said just now that the king beast was in a good mood.

"No matter what, don't take the initiative to provoke it." Although the temper of this king beast is worse than that of the stone worm king worm, it is still better than the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests. Just ignore it, it's good for them.

There was a sudden vibration, and then another, and another... but each sound was gone.

Shao Xuan quickly came to the entrance of the cave, and did not stay here for a while, the gap at the entrance of the cave was buried by snow again.

Pushing the snow away, Shao Xuan looked outside.

He saw the snake-like figure in the wind and snow, jumping up and down, his body crawling on the ground for a while and then jumping up again.

Really... lively.

When the sound was far away and could no longer be heard, the people in the cave couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Is it gone?" Zheng Luo asked.

"I should leave here temporarily, but I don't know when I will come back. After all, this should be its lair." Shao Xuan said, "I'll go out and have a look."

"I'm going too." Zheng Luo turned to Duo Kang and said, "Take care of the people in the cave, don't let them run around."

Seeing Zhengluo and Shao Xuan going out, the other two leaders also decided to go out and have a look. They also wanted to know what was going on outside, while the king beast wasn't there now. This is a rare opportunity. If you can go back alive, you may be able to record this experience on the animal skin scroll, so that the descendants of the tribe know that in this forest, there is such a magical place where the king beast lives. They are here. Magical place, salt mines that have been dug for hundreds of years.

By the way, make sure you can get out of here.

Listening carefully, Shao Xuan pushed the rock away and walked out quickly. When the other three leaders came out, he pushed the boulder at the entrance of the cave back again.

It was still windy and snowing outside, much colder than inside the cave.

The Rocky Land has been leveled and once again covered with a thick layer of snow.

"Go to Liehu's salt cave and have a look." Zheng Luo suggested.

"Um."

The four of them walked over there carefully, following the traces that the giant beast had crawled over, all the way to the salt cave of the Liehu tribe.

The place where the giant beast climbed was covered with a layer of hard frost, and the coolness jumped up from the soles of their feet. When they saw the situation in the Liehu Salt Cave, they felt that it was nothing to be frozen, it was better than these unlucky ghosts.

The entrance of Liehu's salt cave was covered with a thick layer of white ice. These frosts also reduced the entrance of the cave a lot. The entrance to the cave that was flush with the ground under his feet was already covered with a layer of ice nearly one meter high.

Jump up and go inside the cave.

Zheng Luo took the glowing spar and saw the situation in the cave clearly.

Some people were frozen under the ice near the entrance of the cave, which should have been stepped on when they escaped.

Continuing inside, they saw some debris.

Yes, pieces.

The frozen people are cracked one by one.

The cold chill rushed up from the tail vertebra along the spine, and the hairs on the back of the neck stood up. Even the three leaders trembled in their hearts.

Shao Xuan lifted his feet and continued to walk in. There were some people blocking them. They were all standing and their bodies were intact, but they were all frozen and covered with a layer of white.

Passing through the gap between these people, four people came to the lower salt cave.

I thought the lower level would be better, but found that it was not much better.

Although there is no other life breath here, but when I really see it, I can't help but feel fear in my heart. Covered with a layer of hoarfrost, you can vaguely see their expressions, and you can guess from their movements what they want to do before they are frozen.

"Huo Jing?" As they got closer, Zheng Luo felt the existence of Huo Jing.

As soon as they heard "Huo Jing," the other two leaders immediately put their fear aside.

After discovering the frozen fire crystal on the ground, the three leaders came enthusiastically.

The king beast is not there, there are no other living people in the cave, and there are fire crystals on the ground, what should I do?

dig! ! (To be continued.)
