king of black mist.

Chapter 406 Abyss Safe Zone

The abyss was right in front of the eyes, and the eight people were separated by a pile of messy ice cubes—it seemed like a giant fell from the sky, smashing the ice sea, and pieces of broken ice were thrown and fell here.

The ice cubes have different shapes, because there is no snow and no dust, it is clean and beautiful, like a dream.

"Is this the 'place to leave a name'?" Tully asked infatuatedly.

Yeter walked up to her and deliberately frightened her: "It's also called 'Retention Land'."

With information like this, Li Changzhou would reveal himself as soon as he opened his mouth, so he remained silent.

"Old man," Andy turned to look at the old man, "Where is your name?"

The old man didn't speak, and walked forward on foot, and everyone followed.

"Captain, me, Bozi, the names of the three are all written with the old man." Yate said.

"We made a lot of money last time we came here," Paz said, "although six people died."

"The share of those six people also belongs to us." Yeter said again.

"Little Tully, when you see the ice is solid, dig a little more." Baz looked at Tully maliciously.

The two tease her together.

"Hmph, Yate, Bozz, you two should dig a little more." Tully countered.

The old man stopped before a block of ice half buried in the ground like a tombstone.

There are many names of many people written on it, except for four, the rest of the names are engraved with a scratch, which represents death.

"I brought all these people down," the old man said.

He stood in front of the ice monument for a while, and made way sideways.

Andy, Stone Fist, and Tully stepped forward and left their names on it.

Li Changzhou took a look. The former captain of the shadow team, who was replaced by him, was named 'Ming Zhou'.

It's very interesting, but it is called "Mingri" who holds the "great power" of darkness. Does it mean that only light can defeat darkness?
On the surface, Li Changzhou is very similar to the captain of 'Mingzhou', but there is an essential difference. His instinct is [Black Mist], named 'Long Day', but in essence it is darkness.

The captain of "Tomorrow" may have been silently swallowed by his "great power-darkness" on the way to Della's Tavern. The stars will be extinguished one day, and mortals can only illuminate them for a while with their lives. .

"All right!"

"Brother Andy's name is too big!"

"The bigger you write, the better your luck and the longer you live!"

"Even if you're dead, everyone can see you at a glance." Yeter said.

"Yate-"

"Let's go, hurry up." The old man interrupted the young man's frolicking with a solemn expression.

The eight moved on.

Tully took a deep breath, she was really about to enter the abyss now, she clenched her hands, only four names on an ice tablet were still alive, could she survive?
The abyss is a deep pit.

As far as how deep it is. No corpse that fell to the bottom has ever climbed up.

The old man unfolded two bundles of ropes, the old man, Andy, Yate, and Bozi were in a group, and Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, Tuli, and Shiquan were in a group.

"Remember," the old man confirmed the firmness of everyone's rope, "if someone's foot slips and he can't hold it, he should cut the rope. Don't hesitate—from here, there will be no teammates, relatives, or friends."

"Don't worry too much," Yate comforted Tully, who was so nervous that she was trembling all over, "There will be a long 'safe zone' for you to familiarize yourself with, you need money, and you only need to go a little deeper into the 'fall zone' to find hard ice that you can't hold .”

"With the captain here, the 'Fallen Belt' is nothing." Bozi said.

Tully pursed her lips and nodded.

"Yate! You first!" the old man shouted.

"What!"

Tully noticed that Yate's fingertips were trembling slightly as he walked into the abyss, and he was also afraid.

For some reason, Tully felt relieved, even Yate was afraid, so what's the use of being afraid?
Yeter pierced the iron spikes on the toe of his boots deep into the ice wall, smashed the ice ax in his hand to the ground, and slowly lowered his body inch by inch.

Then came the old man, then Andy, and finally Bezzy.

In Li Changzhou's group, he was the first.

He has no experience in climbing ice walls, but he has the courage to walk on cliffs in the rainstorm and low temperature, and the skills to fight Guanyin and Monkey King.

Before his body completely clings to the ice wall, he is already familiar with it, even more subtle than the old man in the force technique.

The second is Yang Qinglan, the third is Tuli, and the last is Shiquan.

The eight people were divided into two groups, and moved down the ice wall like worms.

The ice wall is very cold. When using ice spikes and ice picks to dig into the ice wall, the hands and feet themselves are like tools. They have been completely frozen and unconscious, and they are separated from the brain by a long distance.

"Don't look down!" roared the old man, "Don't look into the abyss!"

Ding!Ding!Ding!
After trying three times, Yang Qinglan chiseled the ice ax into the ice wall, and the fine shards of ice rolled down, turning into a villain halfway, and falling irretrievably into the abyss.

All the way down, 10 minutes, half an hour, one hour, three hours.

The sun rises gradually, and the temperature, on the contrary, falls sharply.

"Be careful!" the old man didn't know how many times he said, "The only danger in the safe zone is yourself!"

Tully looked up at the sky, the sun was above the abyss, cold as if it had been frozen.

The rope around her waist was gently pulled, and she came back to her senses, knowing that the lone traveler had descended to the limit that the rope between the two could reach, she took a breath with her lips (just went down the abyss, used her nose Inhalation is already like a knife cut), and it also starts to go down.

After stopping, Yang Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and saw Li Changzhou next to her with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. He wasn't afraid at all in such an environment where he was walking on thin ice.

"There's someone down there." She whispered.

"Other teams? How many?" Li Changzhou asked.

"The falling speed of the icicle is too fast, I can't see clearly, it seems that there are three."

Li Changzhou nodded.

Their speed is not fast, in groups of four, only one person is moving at a time, and the remaining three act as 'anchor' to prevent the mover from falling.

When the four get together again, the leading Li Changzhou and Yate will continue to go down, and so on.

At this speed, there will be no encounters with other teams.

However, I still met, and the other party was climbing up.

"A ghostly thing is coming up!" Yate was so nervous that his face twitched, because he couldn't look down, and couldn't confirm whether it was a living person or an ice corpse.

But whether it is a living person or an ice corpse, it is fatal in this kind of place.

The old man's voice also became tense: "Captain!"

Can't look down, Li Changzhou is also unable to fight, it's okay to be an ice corpse, but if the opponent is the holder of 'Great Power', especially that child.
The terrain must be changed.

The dark snake poked its head out from behind Li Changzhou, and bit the ice wall beside him, chewing like a hole in the solid ice wall.

The dark serpent swung its tail and threw out its seven tails, hooking Yang Qinglan, Tali, the old man, Andy and others.

The dark serpent burrowed into the cave, followed by its tail, and when the seven recovered their senses, they were already standing in the cave.

"Captain!" Yate shouted to Li Changzhou outside the cave.

The darkness can't pull Li Changzhou out of thin air, just like he can't rely on his left foot to step on the right foot, and the right foot to step on the left foot to go to the sky.

A black hand raised high from behind him, and with a bang, it clasped the ice wall above his head like sharp claws. He pushed lightly against the ice wall with his feet, and he fell into the cave like a swallow.

"The captain's skill is better than before." Bozi said.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man drew out his scimitar, and the others also took out their weapons.

The old man and Andy stood close to the ice wall at the entrance of the cave.

The two steel sword users, Yate and Bozi, stood in front, attracting the enemy.

"What if it's a person? Are you going to kill him?" Andy said excitedly.

"As long as you attack us, your father and mother will also kill you!" Bozi shouted, this slightly silent strong man seemed to want to use his voice to embolden himself.

Shi Fist was holding the shield, breathing deeply nervously. He was obviously the shield bearer, but he was not in front. Behind him was Tully.

"Tally! Start the fire!" the old man whispered.

"I'm doing!"

"high speed!"

"Yes!" Tully ignited the bow arrow.

"No matter what it is, remember to ignite the bow and arrow at the first time. If it is an ice corpse, only flames and the abyss can kill this monster." It is impossible for the ice wall to shoot down the opponent."

"Yes!" Tully replied.

The crowd held their breath.

As the sound of climbing got closer and closer, an inexplicable fear welled up in my heart, as if my body, which was soaked in ice water, was suddenly picked up, and then the cold wind blew.

"It's an ice corpse!" Yate shouted.

Three dead bodies rushed into the cave!

"Andy!" the old man yelled.

Andy was short at the same time as him, aimed at the corpse's leg, and handed out the scimitar in his hand.

laugh!
The blade cut into the flesh and cut off both legs.

The two corpses fell to the ground with a thud, and a rocket hit one of them accurately.

"Back!" The old man roared again, and retreated quickly.

Yate and Baz stepped forward with steel swords in hand, while Tully nervously ignited the second rocket.

The three corpses, for a soldier like the old man who had endured all his life, might have narrowly escaped death on the ice wall, but in the cave opened by Li Changzhou, they were not really a threat.

However, Andy moved slowly because of the cold, and he took a step back.

The corpse whose legs had been cut off put his right hand covered in frost around his right ankle.

"Caught it! I caught him!" The corpse was ecstatic, stretched out his left hand, and clasped his hands together.

The powerful force erupted like a flood.

"Ah!" Andy screamed violently, because of the severe pain, his face stretched into a strange look for a moment.

"Andy!!" The old man's legs that had been retreating suddenly kicked the ground.

"Old man!" Yate yelled and followed, followed closely by Baz.

"Catch him! Catch him!" All three corpses shouted, their voices ecstatic.

The ignited corpse disintegrated in the flames like a liquid solution.

Kacha~
The neck that melted in the flames could not support the head, and the head rolled to the ground like a fireball, even so, the head was still screaming wildly.

"Pull it back! Pull him back!"

The only corpse that was still standing, picked up the legs of the corpse that grabbed Andy's ankle like pushing a wheelbarrow, and walked backwards out of the cave with a harvest expression.

The elated scene in front of him was really weird to the extreme.

The old man's scimitar was unsheathed again. The old man's eyes were bloodshot, and he pounced on it like a hungry wolf. He cut off the corpse's hands neatly and rescued Andy.

"Huh?" The corpse froze for a moment.

"Bring it back! Bring him back!" The two corpses went crazy.

The corpse with intact limbs threw away the legs of another corpse in its hand and bumped into the old man.

The old man rushed forward without hesitation, and at this time there was no way to retreat.

"Ah!!" Yate and Bozi roared violently, and the trembling made them break their voices.

Two steel swords were drawn out.

Tully's face turned pale, and she wanted to scream, but her voice was blocked in her throat. The two steel swords were aimed at the old man!

At this moment, the old man curled up his body as if disappearing.

laugh!
The head of the corpse flew into the sky, and the crotch was cut off directly.

The upper body without the head and legs still grabbed the clothes on the old man's chest with both hands before landing.

"Caught it! Caught it again!" The corpse that was holding Andy's ankle before opened its mouth and bit its upper body with its teeth, twisting and crawling out of the cave.

"Grab him! Grab him!" The head of the upper body drummed on the edge of the cave.

When the corpse retreated, it pushed the head into the abyss, and the voice of "grab him" still came from far away from the abyss.

Yate and Bozi took a big step, stepped forward again, and slammed down the steel sword like a heavy hammer.

Half of the corpse's arms were broken, and the two of them backed up with each arm supporting the old man.

"Tully!" the old man raised his head and roared.

Tully regained her senses and let go of the bowstring.

The rocket, which was flying in the air and was about to be extinguished, landed on the corpse. With a sound of "Hoo!", the flame rose half a meter high.

The fire was shining, and the people who had recovered their lives were panting violently, but the horror of the abyss, like their shadows reflected on the cave wall, did not leave, staring at them all the time.

"Ah" Andy leaned his back against the ice wall, pressed his ankle and moaned in pain.

The old man got up panting, walked to him, took off his thick shoes and socks, and checked the injury.

"Fortunately," he breathed a sigh of relief, "I have enough clothes on, and no bones are hurt."

The indifferent eyes of Yate and Bozi eased. If Andy really failed, they would abandon him.

The old man took off his gloves, took out a piece of ice from his waist, melted it in his mouth, sprayed it on Andy's ankle, and pressed his hands hard.

"Ah!" Andy's face twitched.

"Does it hurt?" The old man didn't scold, but smiled happily.

"It hurts me to death! Lighten the old man!"

"It hurts, this lesson is very heavy, and you didn't really get injured, very good! You will know how to restrain yourself from now on!"

"If it wasn't for my hands and feet being frozen, I—ah!!!"

The old man wanted to rub the flesh on his ankle as if it was boneless, then turned to Yate and said, "Yate, tell him what we will do if his foot is useless."

"You want me to be a bad guy?" Yate was not very happy, but he still said, "Andy, if you break a bone, we will leave you here."

Very simple way of handling, very calm tone, without the slightest guilt or heaviness.

Andy's screams became weaker and weaker, his face was painful, and he gasped violently, but his mouth fell silent.

"No. Is there a captain?" Tully whispered.

"Tally," Baz turned back, "We need the captain, not the captain. Do you understand? With the cave the captain made, we can't deal with the ice corpses, we are just a burden."

"In the face of the boss's 'great power', even if we can solve the ice corpse, isn't it a burden?" Shi Quan was puzzled.

"Brother Stonefist," Yate put his elbow on Stonefist's shoulder, "'Great Power' is strong, but not invincible under all circumstances, especially in the abyss.

"For example, just now, the boss also needs us younger brothers to stand in front, first observe the enemy, in case the kid playing with the green light comes up, we can use our lives to make a shield for the boss.

"If it is another 'great power', it can also obtain information through the other party's killing methods."

"Don't call me so cold." Li Changzhou walked out from the depths of the cave.

Yeter shrugged.

Li Changzhou walked to the old man's side: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, little—" the old man turned his head, met Li Changzhou's staring eyes, and paused, "——hurt."

Li Changzhou nodded, and suddenly said, "You and Andy go back."

"Boss! I can go on!" cried Andy.

Li Changzhou continued to look at the old man.

"We can go on," said the old man.

After a moment of silence, Li Changzhou walked towards the entrance of the cave: "Your life is your own."

Yang Qinglan followed beside him.

Yate, Betsy, Stone Fist, and Tully followed closely, and Andy, afraid of being left behind, put on his shoes and socks in a panic, gritting his teeth and catching up.

"Slow down, you little bastard, don't use force on that foot for the time being, and use more force when fighting!" The old man who was still squatting on the ground scolded.

He turned slightly to the depths of the cave, and looked down at his chest. The place where he was caught by half of the corpse, the blood and clothes were frozen together.

"Old man! Follow up!" Andy shouted.

The old man stood up slowly, his head was buzzing, and his eyes were black.

As if he was fine, he walked towards the exit of the cave in the dark, and his vision gradually recovered.

"Yate, change it, I'll go to the bottom." The old man said.

"what ever."

The two switched places.

Li Changzhou and the old man went down first. When they fell to the limit of the rope and were waiting for the next person, the old man said, "Captain, if something happens to me, don't save me."

Li Changzhou turned to look at him.

The sun was getting smaller and colder, and the abyss was watching them from below, and there were only the two of them on the ice wall for the time being.

"With my injuries, even if I go back now, I may not be able to get out of the snowfield." The old man said with a relaxed tone, "I won't die in front of Andy, if I give him enough shock, he won't live to be 20 years old."
