Chapter 160 Countdown 3
With huge chunks of ice exposed above the water, it's easy to wonder why something so heavy wouldn't sink.If you are a student who has a lot of research in physics, you will probably give an answer such as "ice is less dense than water" in a serious manner; while a student who knows a little about geography will tell you, because there is land below.

Antarctica is not a small continent. Because it is close to the pole, half of the time here is kept dark for a long time every year, and even in the other half of the daytime, the angle of sunlight is very oblique.Therefore, it is covered by snow and ice all year round, but only a small part of the land will be exposed in rare times.

For a long time, this is the home of creatures such as penguins and seals. Even human beings with footprints all over the world have no way to get involved in this land cursed by the cold.To this day, human beings still do not live here for a long time, and the close contact with here still stays at the level of "scientific research and exploration".

For most people, this is still a completely unknown dark field.Therefore, it is not so unusual even if an astonishingly high and huge mountain range suddenly appeared—that is naturally impossible.

[It looks like this is the setting of "Crazy Mountains".In the mountains of madness, there is an abandoned ancient city hidden.Under the city, beyond the lairs of the incompletely evolved snow-white penguins, the former servants of the Old Ones, the formless shoggoths gathered in the deepest part of the city, destroying the lives of creatures they didn't know with malice or curiosity. 】

Appearing in mid-air and discovering that there was a piece of sea below, Golden Libra decisively used teleportation, and successfully moved horizontally above the ice sheet before dropping to sea level, and fell steadily.

On the other hand, although her elder sister Jin Xing does not have the ability to teleport, she doesn't seem to have the intention of performing a down jacket wet show. After chanting the spell, she somewhat reluctantly created a piece of ice floe below before entering the water, and stood there. above.

"I don't want to fall into the water by myself. Really, how can I do it like this?" A man who was so tightly wrapped that he couldn't even see his face stood beside the golden scale at some point, looking at different people. Talking and commenting from a distance.

【This guy—— also has a very bad neurotic aura lingering all over his body. 】

Golden Libra, who was also wearing very warm clothes, turned to look at this tall and mysterious figure, and asked calmly, "What were you talking about just now? Who are you?"

The man in the suit spread his hands and let out a burst of laughter suppressed by the thick fabric: "I am the guide."

[We don't need a guide, I probably already understand the setting of this ghost place.Running over with an NPC is a drag instead.Even if you don't consider the issue of protection during battle, in the past, he couldn't keep up with your speed, Little Gold.Now that the preliminary competition may end at any time, I think it is better for us to hurry up. 】

After hearing Lin Qing's words, Golden Libra nodded, raised his head, and opened his mouth——

"Don't refuse yet. I won't be a burden. Besides, if you go with another group of players, it will be more secure to collect points, isn't it? Please follow me, your candidate companion is here." The guide didn't wait for the gold Libra speaks and responds.

Golden Libra was stunned for a while, blinked, and nodded silently.

[This bastard—he didn't see what we were going to say at all.It's not the first time he's taken on this kind of job, these are all clichés he's used to!Little Gold, do you understand? 】

Listening to Lin Qing's annoyed explanation, Golden Libra smiled and nodded.This kind of Lin Qing made Golden Libra feel easier to contact, and at the same time, it also made her feel cuter.Although Lin Qing doesn't like the evaluation of being cute.

Venus finally walked ashore on the ice floes she made to barely support her.

Golden Libra bowed to Jin Xing cautiously: "Thank you, sister, for helping me."

Jin Xing smiled awkwardly, obviously, she was not good at lying, nor did she have the thick skin to accept thanks for defrauding others as if it were a matter of course.Her expression made the people in the suit beside him shake their heads involuntarily.

[Well, with bad intentions.Although the shape of Shoggoth is very similar to that of ordinary slimes, its combat power is not clear.According to the urine nature of the Cthulhu mythology, this kind of indescribable things that lose three values ​​​​when they see them are not something humans can deal with... Your sister probably knows this, so she introduced you here, right?Now it's starting to squirm again. 】

Although I probably thought of it myself, but hearing Lin Qing say that made Golden Libra feel a little uncomfortable, so he stopped talking to Jin Xing, turned to the guide classmate, and said a little bluntly: "Then, let's go. "

The guide looked at the golden scale for a while, and seemed to raise an eyebrow or smile at her, because the whole face was tightly wrapped, so the golden scale could not see clearly.After a while, the guide let out a strange laugh covered under a thick cloth: "Heh - sorry for keeping you waiting. Miss, do you want to come together?"

Venus rejected his symbolic invitation as a matter of course, and the guide had no intention of taking her with him at all, and without waiting for her to respond, he turned around and left with the golden scales.He seems to have completely given up trying to deceive the golden scales, and the reason why he still asks this question is entirely out of habit or out of his professionalism.

There are few people on the ice sheet, even if there are a few people on it occasionally, it will not affect the overall feeling.Desolate, cold, without even a breath of life, any animal living on it has to do its best, and will still be crushed to pieces by its even slightly serious power.

Walking in such a place, it is easy to feel lonely, and indulge in loneliness, not wanting to say a word.

But this is only for ordinary people. For some neuropathy whose thinking is different from ordinary people, they simply cannot appreciate the so-called mighty power of nature, let alone be shocked by such scenery.For example, Lin Qing, for example, the guide.

"Have you thought about how to go back?" The guide who had been chattering suddenly popped up a topic that Golden Libra cared about, but Golden Libra didn't know how he said "Scott's Antarctic expedition" from 2 minutes ago What's involved here... Seeing the dumbfounded reaction of the golden scale, the guide continued: "With all due respect, you don't seem to have thought about it?"

Golden Libra hesitated for a while, didn't speak, just nodded.

"I noticed that when you came, you were brought here by the lady's global teleportation ability. But now the lady seems to have gone back. In any case, she used her teleportation times at least twice." The guide's tone was like It's a salesman who joined an MLM organization, "so she can't possibly pick you up again."

Golden Libra nodded, and suddenly asked a very strange question: "Speaking of which, all teleportation can bring people?"

The guide stopped and turned his head to look at the golden scales for a long time, until the golden scales were a little hairy, then he smiled twice: "Yes. Nice to meet you. I used to be resident in A The geographer at Monson-Scott Station, Richard Manson. Well, although I have the same name as the murderer in history, I am a decent person, just call me Richard."

…………

Lin Qing was lying on a water bed that was too big, with a lollipop in his mouth, and muttered a little unhappily: "Damn, this thing is too sensitive. Even if you are a player, ask something like this The question is not surprising, is it?"

Uncle Thief was studying how to use the TV and computer with great interest—even though the TV was always full of snowflakes because of no signal, it didn't dampen his high interest: "Little friend, what's wrong?"

"Huh..." Lin Qing curled her lips, "A person who was wary of a certain character and introduced himself very limitedly, suddenly changed his attitude towards this character, and made a new self that doesn't make much sense. Introduction, what do you think is the reason, Uncle Thief?"

"Yeah." Uncle Thief responded, touched the power button inadvertently, saw the computer screen on the side lit up, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and threw the Snowflake Point player, which he had been enjoying so much, aside, After tossing and turning in front of the computer for a long time, he opened his mouth absent-mindedly and replied, "I think it's probably because I fell in love suddenly?"

"What! This guy is trying to snatch the little gold from me without even showing his face!" Lin Qing jumped up suddenly, let out a roar of extremely high decibels, and then Lin Qing came to his senses and shook his head, "No, let me You're getting it wrong. Blame me for not explaining things clearly. Don't worry about these things, agree to my conditions—"

Speaking of this, Lin Qing realized belatedly that Uncle Thief had left from the computer at some point, stood behind him, and gently pressed his right hand on his throat. "Conditions? Do you really think I will fulfill the conditions I promised?"

Lin Qing has been in the dark for these days, and has a general understanding of the methods of these thieves. What's more, even on earth, it is not without the skills that thieves can do. Lin Qing knows very well that although Right now, only fingers are pressing on his throat, but as long as Uncle Thief thinks, if he presses down a little more, the blade will stab into his throat.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Qing felt that she had only one way to deal with it.So he twisted his neck, grinned, and said calmly: "Well, uncle thief, although the owner here is not here, it is also very bad behavior to step on someone else's bed with shoes on?"
