The salt cave was pitch black.

At the innermost, there were about a dozen people waving their weapons, trying to pry up the fire crystals on the ground next to them.

When something happened, the leader of the Liehu and the leader of the Sen tribe were in a hurry to escape, and they did not have any hurry to take away the fire crystals that had been dug out. The basket of fire crystals placed next to them was kicked over. The fire crystals were scattered on the ground and frozen by the frost spreading out of the pit.

At that time, some people did leave with the leader of the Liehu Tribe, but some people failed to escape. They missed the best opportunity to escape and stayed in the cave. Some of them thought that staying in the cave was the safest, so they did not follow the leader out of the cave.

Now that the leader is not here, the people in the cave are dead, the wounded, and no one cares about them. After hearing the people who ran out and came back, a huge ferocious beast appeared outside, which was beyond the reach of force, so they had to come back and hide first.

Someone knew about the fire crystal, so he became interested. When he came here, he wanted to pry out all the fire crystals on the ground. The fire crystals were still very attractive to the totem warriors.

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

Next to the Fire Crystal Pit, the person holding a torch felt a chill around him even if he was close to the fire source.

The ground around him was covered with white frost. They did not see with their own eyes what was going on here at that time, but they could infer from what they saw in front of them.

"Hurry up!" the person guarding not far away urged. They felt that it was too cold around them, and it would be great if there were fire crystals that could be used.

"Just dig a fire crystal. Why is it so slow!" someone muttered.

"It's easy to say, do you know how hard these ice are?!" The people wielding the sword were gasping. They didn't understand why the closer they got to the pit, the harder the ice was. Moreover, the ice here was different from the ice outside. It was too hard. It was obvious that half of the fire crystals had been exposed, but it was still rare to pry them up. The copper weapons in their hands were not very good, they could only be considered ordinary, and they were the kind sold by the merchants in Ancheng, which was even more difficult to use.

The sword cut down, and the ice chips splashed on their faces, at their necks and mouths.

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

"Salty." said the man.

"No, the salt cave is of course salty."

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

Suddenly, a soldier guarding not far away shivered and said, "What happened outside the cave?"

The restlessness of the crowd in the cave made them very uneasy.

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

"The giant beast came in?" The people guarding there were panic.

"No. It cannot come in, it will definitely not come in." I don't know if it is comforting itself or convincing others.

"But the one in front..."

Before they could finish their words, they heard a roar.

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

In the lower salt cave, a soldier raised his hand to block the wind blowing towards him. The wind here was not as strong as above. After all, there were still many people in the upper cave, and they blocked most of the strong winds.

"Hey, the person in front. What happened?!" a soldier shouted in the wind.

No one responded.

Kakka--

They seemed to hear such a sound in their ears.

Next to the Fire Crystal Pit, the person holding a weapon to pry the Fire Crystal also stopped at this time. The torch next to him had already been extinguished under the gust of wind just now.

The heat source disappears and the cold is biting.

With the memory, the soldier holding the extinguishing torch quickly hid in a sunken place behind, took out the prepared ignition tool with the wind on his back, skillfully identified the glue applied to one end of the ignition rod, and then took out the flint to rub it.

call--

The flames ignited on the ignition rod. The ignition was not hot enough, so he wanted to ignite the torch. The wind became smaller and it should be able to ignite the torch.

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

"Ma!"

After cursing, the warrior felt the temperature around him getting lower and lower, breathing the air that was about to freeze his lungs, and asked the warrior who was digging fire crystals a few steps away: "Who else has the ignition stick on you? I have used up the last one."

No one responded.

There was a dead silence around.

What else the warrior wanted to say, but he found that consciousness seemed to have begun to leave the body, and the cold around him could no longer be felt. He only felt that his body was heavy and stiff enough to move until he completely lost consciousness.

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

A few steps away, the person who had originally dug the fire crystal was standing there in a position of holding a weapon, without any breath or life. The more than 20 people guarding not far away had no heartbeats.

The crackling sounds around continued, and 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 in Yanjiao.

The three leaders had wooden faces, and they no longer knew what expressions they should show.

They also heard the sound just now, and they could feel the murderous aura in it from this sound. Strangely, this murderous aura is not very strong.

This is a kind of intuition.

"Perhaps, it didn't take us seriously at all. He just wanted to take revenge on the person who disturbed it?" Shao Xuan said to the advantage. Although it had the purpose of comforting others, it was not a nonsense.

Just like when he got lost in the cave of the stone insect king insect, the stone stones around him were also changing. He was not too far from the king insect, and he didn't believe that the king insect had not noticed his existence. It was just ignoring it, just like people would ignore an ant at their feet when walking on the road.

"Or it's just that it's in a good mood today, so it's not very murderous?" Zheng Luo tentatively said. Shao Xuan just now said that the king beast was in a good mood.

"No matter what, just don't provoke it on your own." Although this king beast has a worse temper than the stone insect king insect, it is still better than the ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests. Just ignore it, it is a good thing for them.

Suddenly, there was a vibration, then another sound, another sound...but every sound was gone.

Shao Xuan quickly came to the entrance of the cave and didn't stay here for a while. The gap at the entrance of the cave was buried in the snow again.

Pushing away the snow, Shao Xuan looked outside.

He saw the snake-like figure in the wind and snow, jumping one after another, and his body crawled on the ground for a while and then jumped up again.

It's really... lively.

When the sound went away and could not be heard, the people in the cave couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

"Has it left?" Zhengluo asked.

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

"I'll go too." Zhengluo turned to Dokang and said, "Please take care of the people in the hole and don't let them run out."

Seeing Zheng Luo and Shao Xuan go out, the other two leaders also decided to go out and see. They also wanted to know what the outside was like, and took advantage of the absence of the king beast. This was a rare opportunity. If they could go back alive, they might be able to record this experience on the beast skin scroll, so that the backs behind the tribe knew that there was such a magical place where the king beast lived in this magical place. They had dug a salt mine for hundreds of years.

By the way, I'll be sure to leave here.

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

There was still strong wind and heavy snow outside, which was much colder than inside the cave.

The strange rock land has been flattened and covered with a thick layer of snow again.

"Go to the salt cave of Liehu, take a look." Zhengluo suggested.

"Um."

The four of them walked carefully over there, following the traces of the giant beast crawling over, and walked to the salt cave of the Liehu Tribe.

There was a layer of hard frost in the place where the giant beast crawled, and the coolness jumped up from the soles of the feet. When they saw the situation of the Liehu Salt Cave, they felt that getting frozen was nothing, it was better than these unlucky people.

A thick layer of white ice was covered with the entrance of the salt cave of the Fox. The frost also narrowed the entrance of the cave a lot. There was already a layer of ice nearly one meter high in the entrance, which was flush with the ground below.

Jump up and walk into the hole.

Zheng Luo took the glowing crystal and saw clearly the situation inside the cave.

Someone was frozen under the ice near the entrance of the cave, and he should have been stepped on here when he escaped.

Continue walking in and they see some fragments.

Yes, fragments.

The frozen people all cracked.

The cold chill rushed upward from the tailbone along the spine, and the hairs on the back of the neck stood up. Even the three leaders' hearts trembled suddenly.

Shao Xuan raised his foot and continued walking in. Some people were blocked there, all standing, intact, but they were frozen and covered with a layer of white.

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

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

Although there was no other breath of life when I found out, I couldn't help but feel fear when I saw it. It was covered with a layer of white frost, and the blurred expressions could be seen, and I could also guess what they wanted to do before being frozen from their movements.

"Fire Crystal?" As they got closer, Zheng Luo felt the existence of the Fire Crystal.

When he heard the "Fire Crystal", the other two leaders immediately threw the fear of the moment 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?
