The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Arduous Trek (1)
Clicking sounds came more and more frequently. Xin Zhaolun was also more cautious. He was exploring the path ahead. Even if the glacier cracked and smashed down, as long as he noticed it, it would be impossible for him to be injured. With his strength, there was no problem resisting the shattered ice.

Boom!

An ice block about three meters long and one meter wide was smashed into the air by Xin Zhaolun. Then, it was smashed into pieces one after another by Xin Zhaolun.

Everyone hurriedly resisted. XinFeng also waved his shield and smashed the ice above his head.

Very quickly, everyone left the collapsing ice wall and turned to another road. Everyone turned to a new road and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. There was no ice on their heads. Unless they fell down like a mountain, it would be very difficult for them to be threatened. However, if they were not careful, it was not impossible for them to be injured if the ice that kept falling from their heads was not defenseless.

Boom!

Another ice wall collapsed, instantly blocking the way forward. Fortunately, most people were cultivators, and even local natives weren’t inferior. Without any hesitation, the group of people stepped on the shattered ice and quickly moved forward.

A faint cry for help came from afar.

“Fast speed!” Xin Zhaolun shouted.

Lei Xingfeng understood that he had to leave as soon as possible to call for help. Who knew what those people were encountering? With their strength, although they were not afraid of anything, once they were entangled, it would be a big problem.

Everyone understood this logic in their hearts. Therefore, when Xin Zhaolun said that he was accelerating, no one objected. He accelerated his pace one by one. Some of the gullies flew straight over. Feng Ying and Shi Hu protected Lei Xingfeng one after another. Although they absolutely couldn’t fly over here, they could directly jump over if they encountered a big crack in the ice. There was no need to worry about falling into it.

With a rope for seven people, even if someone was brought off the ground by a strong wind, they would still be pulled down by others.

At first, the seven of them walked along a line that was slightly bumpy. Not long after, the seven of them gradually came to a tacit understanding. If anyone saw them in the air, the seven of them would be like a multi-legged centipede. They moved extremely smoothly on the ground, moving at an extremely fast speed. They were extremely harmonious and tacit understanding.

A dense rumble could be heard from afar. Everyone could feel the tremors beneath their feet. Xin Zhaolun couldn’t help but curse. He turned around with the crowd. Clicking sounds echoed in the surroundings, causing people’s scalps to go numb. This was an instinctive fear. Even if the ice wall collapsed, the fear from the bottom of their hearts would still involuntarily emerge.

As they quickly left, the surrounding ice walls gradually calmed down. Only the whistling of the wind and the crackling of snow still lingered in their ears.

After walking about ten miles, Xin Zhaolun raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He said, “There’s a big crack in the ice. Let’s take a rest.”

The seven of them squeezed into the cracks in the ice. Immediately, their ears became a little clearer, and the whistling sound was no longer so ear-piercing.

Everyone felt slightly better being able to avoid the bone-piercing cold wind.

Xin Zhaolun said, “Eat something before you leave. Unfortunately, you can’t drink any hot soup. It’s too fucking cold.”

Even Xin Zhaolun was called cold. One could imagine how low the temperature was.

XinFeng said, “How far can I go?”

“We made a slight detour,” said the hammer. “We’ll be there soon.”

XinFeng said, “Good fellow, this is the first time I’ve seen such a cold climate.” Even when Tiger Cliff Castle was at its coldest, it wasn’t so cold that it caused one’s heart to tremble. Not to mention ordinary people, even a True Body True Body True Body True Body True Body True Body True Body wouldn’t be able to last long here.

This rest lasted only about 15 minutes. There was nothing he could do about it. This place was too dangerous, so he had to go through it. There wasn’t much time to delay. Fifteen minutes was enough for everyone to eat a little bit of food. XinFeng had only eaten ten pieces of steamed meat the size of a fist. Of course, this piece of meat was only a little bit more, and it was still far from being full.

Actually, Lei Xingfeng also knew a way to replenish his physical strength. It was to eat sweets, or eat sugar directly. However, there was very little sugar in this world. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but he couldn’t find it. Of course, there were still sweets. Most of them were made from honey. There were many places in this world that produced honey, and there were also many varieties.

Everyone came out of the ice crevice and went back on their way. Everyone clearly felt much better. If there was a lack of food in their stomachs, they would not be able to withstand the cold in this climate. They had to consume their own wheel seals or seals in order to avoid freezing. This was also the reason why they ate frequently.

He didn’t know how the hammer found the right path. XinFeng had already lost his way along this path. If someone hadn’t guided him, he wouldn’t have found the right path. And if he got lost here, even if you were a Nine Ring True Body, you would have almost died.

This was also the reason why the local natives were able to live so nourishingly. Otherwise, even if their bodies were strong and their combat strength was high, they would still be killed clean by outsiders. In this region, these natives were living maps, and outsiders could not leave them at all.

Even though the outside world was so cold, everyone was still sweating slightly.

Finally, Hammer Head cried out joyfully, “Haha, we’re about to leave … Ah, we almost got diverged …” Hearing this, everyone’s hair stood on end. If this fellow got lost, everyone would be doomed.

Everyone entered a very large ice crack. Following this ice crack, an ice wall appeared very quickly. The most puzzling thing was that there was an ice wall in front of them. There was no way.

“Do you want to go up or down?” Xin Zhaolun said.

The hammer said, “We can’t go up. The snow is too heavy. It’s too difficult to go up. Let’s go down.”

“Did you find it?” Xin Zhaolun said.

After discussing with Wild Axe for a while, Hammer Head led everyone down the ice wall.

In a short while, the hammer found a smooth ice wall. He reached out and lightly tapped on the ice wall. He nodded and said, “This is it.”

Wild Axe said, “I’ll do it.”

The hammer nodded and retreated, saying, “Let’s retreat a little.”

Wild Axe untied the ropes and carried his huge axe forward. After inspecting it for a moment, it suddenly turned into a big axe. In an instant, the huge axe emitted a faint golden light. With a loud shout, Wild Axe slashed into the ice wall.

The axe slashed down and the mad axe quickly retreated.

Boom!

The ice wall suddenly exploded and a hole appeared. Wild Axe said, “Alright, open it! Let’s hurry up and enter.”

XinFeng noticed that this ice wall was very strange. The ice wall that the giant axe had sliced apart was rapidly closing. In a few minutes, this hole would probably disappear.

The hammer head was in front, leading everyone into the cave.

This was an inclined cave entrance. The entrance was small, but the inside was large. Because it was filled with ice, some light refracted in, so the cave wasn’t dim. XinFeng was surprised to discover that the ice cave seemed to have been constructed by man, because the ice on the ground was like a staircase down a very regular ice staircase.

XinFeng asked, “You dug this?”

The hammer said, “Not exactly.”

Xin Zhaolun said, “Half-natural, half-renovated. This kind of cave is only grasped by local natives. Outsiders can’t find it. If you don’t believe it, you should have already closed the cave entrance.”

XinFeng turned around and saw that the cave entrance had indeed been closed.

The temperature in the ice cave was very comfortable. Everyone let out a long sigh of relief when they entered. In the cold climate, even if there was fur covering their mouths and noses, the cold air still strongly stimulated their noses. They needed to slowly inhale and exhale. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to adapt to the extreme cold.

XinFeng grabbed his hat, took a deep breath and said, “Sigh, we can finally breathe comfortably. Shall we rest here?”

Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “I originally planned to stay here for at least a night. Haha, this is the first real resting point to cross the glacier. We’ll know if we go a little further.”

This underground ice path is very long, Everyone walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at an empty ice hall. Ice ribs hung down from above. However, the ice hall was very large. It was over three hundred square meters. Everyone could see a stone fire pond in the corner. There was still charcoal ashes in the fire pond, and there were also a few pieces of tattered animal hides that had been discarded.

Feng Ying smiled and said, “Alright, we can start a fire. I didn’t expect there to be a fire pond here. Haha, I don’t know who left it behind.”

Hammerhead smiled and said, “This is left behind by my clansmen … this …” His eyes were fixed on Lei Xingfeng again.

Lei Xingfeng said, “Don’t look, there will be food!”

Hammerhead and Wild Axe both revealed satisfied smiles.

After being cold for most of the day, being able to eat a hot meal and drink a large bowl of hot soup was definitely a great enjoyment.

XinFeng didn’t use charcoal this time. Instead, he used oilwood to burn the fire. The oilwood was especially resistant to burning. Three larger oilwood could boil a large pot of water. This was a good fuel. With some charcoal, it was enough to heat and cook food.

Braised chowder had already become XinFeng’s specialty. It was simple, convenient, practical, easy to operate, and especially delicious. Everyone also liked it.

The temperature in the ice hall was much warmer than outside. When the oilwood in the fire started to burn, everyone took off their fur coats.

XinFeng asked, “Where are we going tomorrow?”

Xin Zhaolun said, “We still need to cross a snowy mountain … and then we will arrive. Haha, if nothing unexpected happens, the two-day journey will be very fast …”

XinFeng nodded and said, “Was it the mining mentioned last time?”

Xin Zhaolun smiled bitterly and said, “I had no choice but to wait. Originally, I wanted to wait. However, I felt that the limelight wasn’t right. I was always a little uneasy. I was afraid that something unexpected would happen. You should know that this material is quite rare. It is also the area that has output. If I lose this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a material next time.”

XinFeng said, “Can’t you buy it?”
