Chapter 792 Whispering
Boom!!
At the moment when the wave of snow was about to pour into the ice cave, I struggled to drag the huge ice block to seal the gap that Lao Bai had just opened.
Even so, some snowflakes still stubbornly got in through the gaps around them, and then there was a "crackling" sound like fried beans, mixed with a violent "clicking" sound in the middle. It was a piece of snow that we had previously
The ice cubes left behind when digging the ice cave were swept up by the strong wind, mixed with countless flying snow foam and ice particles, and smashed hard on the huge ice used to block the entrance of the cave. The fierce force directly caused the ice cubes to collapse.
After the explosion, the giant ice also cracked, and the cracks spread very long.
This scene was too dangerous. If the giant ice blocking the entrance of the cave was smashed, I would be the first to bear the brunt, and you can imagine the consequences.
Fortunately, the strong wind only lasted for a moment. After that, although the wind direction was still directed towards us, it would not roll up some huge ice cubes. However, it was still white outside, and people could not get out, otherwise
The outcome will still be miserable.
I tensed up and stared for a moment, confirming that we were still safe hiding in the ice cave. Then I breathed a sigh of relief, and my legs felt a little weak. In front of such divine power, people are still too small.
After coming back to my senses, I looked at Lao Bai lying at my feet.
Fortunately, this guy was still breathing, but he was just knocked unconscious. There was a bump as big as a fist on his forehead. His forehead was more protruding than the big horned deer that had just died. It felt like his brain was deformed.
.
After patting his face, the guy grunted twice and didn't respond.
I pressed the bag on his forehead, and the guy let out a scream, turned over and sat up.
“There’s something wrong with the wind, absolutely something is wrong!!”
Brother Yaozi looked around with a gloomy face and said, "Don't you see it? This wind seems to be deliberately hitting people."
Not just the wind!
Everything here feels wrong!
However, I couldn't figure out the root cause, so I could only turn my attention to my master.
My master pondered for a moment and said: "A very interesting thing is that when the big horned deer died, the wind outside happened to stop, and then it started to snow. When Lao Bai went out, the wind picked up again."
"Dead man, the wind rises..."
I thought about the connection here, and after pondering for a long time, I couldn't figure out any way, so I said, "Are you suspicious that something caused all this?"
My master was silent. After a moment, he only said one word: "Wait!"
It seems like this is all it can do for now.
I glanced at Xiaozhi who was curled up next to Wushuang, walked over and touched his head. Seeing that his complexion was much better, I asked softly: "Can you still feel those things that scare you now?"
Xiaozhi nodded.
I asked again: "Has there been any change in the way those things make you feel?"
"No, it's still the same..."
Xiaozhi thought for a long time, even closed his eyes and felt it carefully before giving this answer.
"Does this weird glacier and murderous wind have nothing to do with what Xiaozhi feels?"
I thought about it for a while and couldn't decide what to eat, so I stopped thinking about it and found a place to sit down. I took some food from my backpack and distributed it.
It seems that this windy wind will not be able to pass for a while. Fortunately, there is still a lot of dry food, which should be able to last for a while. The clear water is empty, so it does not matter. My master carefully looked at the ice here and found that there is no problem.
It's normal. I just smashed a bunch of it off the wall casually. Every time I gnawed on some dry food, I held a piece in my mouth. It felt chilly to my heart, and it was quite quenching my thirst.
After eating something hastily, the ice cave fell into silence again.
After the big-antlered deer incident, no one dared to sleep now, even if someone was watching around them.
The cold environment is a huge test for the human body. The rate of heat replenishment and loss is not proportional, and collapse is only a matter of time.
This is a long process of confrontation. No one would jump up and exercise vigorously to maintain body temperature without freezing to death.
I began to consciously relax myself, and followed the example of Brother Harrier and Crazy Bear. I took out everything I could to keep out the cold from my backpack, wrapped my head tightly, put my hands in my sleeves, and hugged my knees with my arms.
Everyone curled up, and their breathing gradually slowed down. They looked like they were asleep, but in fact they were very awake, just closing their eyes and concentrating.
Except for my master who was meditating, almost everyone else remained in this state.
The wind and snow never stopped and lasted for a long time.
If you close your eyes and meditate for a long time, your mind will gradually become completely blank, and you will feel sleepy without even realizing it.
Just when my spirit was shaky, a whisper fell into my ears without any warning.
At first, it was a subtle "rustling" sound, which felt like the sound you hear when a cotton swab is inserted into your ear.
Thinking of the death of the big-horned deer, I felt a little hairy, but I didn't feel anything strange in my ears. I dug it out with my fingers and found nothing unusual, so I felt a little relieved, and the rustling sound didn't stop.
It was weird, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, I took no further action.
Soon, a thin mosquito buzzing sound sounded in my ears. The other person first let out a "haha" sound, as if he was blowing into the palm of his hand. Then he paused and then spoke, with a clear and crisp voice.
It was a young boy: "Hey, the weather is so cold!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear girl's voice sounded in the other ear: "Yes, yes, it's really too cold, I feel like I'm about to freeze to death."
"It's okay now. This place is very warm. Let's take shelter here first."
The boy comforted softly.
The girl didn't seem to agree with this view and snorted coldly: "It's dark here, what's the point? I don't like such a dark place!"
The boy hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Just be patient. We will leave when the wind and snow outside stop."
"..."
The two of them chatted about each other.
I heard it clearly, but I didn’t hear any reaction from my master or the others, nor did I feel anything different about myself. I secretly felt surprised in my heart. After a slight hesitation, I didn’t alert the snake, but calmed down and used my energy to start observing.
The situation in the ice cave.
What's even more surprising is that under careful observation, the ice cave is still empty and nothing special has been noticed.
"I'm so hungry..."
At this time, the girl spoke again. After a moment's hesitation, she added: "I'm still a little scared. It's dark here. I feel panicked when I can't see you!"
The boy didn't respond. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "It's winding here and it's inconvenient to get in and out. Why don't I open a door and go over to find you?"
The girl could no longer hold back and immediately cheered: "Okay, okay, come to me quickly, I'm so hungry, take me to eat meat!"
"Okay, okay, let's eat meat!"
The boy said: "Just wait, I will go over and take you to eat meat!"
At the end of the sentence, the boy's voice already had a serious meaning, especially the word "eat meat". He said it through gritted teeth. I even heard the sound of teeth clashing!
I searched for a long time while watching, but to no avail. The more I listened to these two people talking, the more I felt something was wrong, and I immediately sat up.
It was at this moment that I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my ears, and I covered my "ears" and screamed in pain.
Then I heard the boy shouting: "No, I've been discovered. I can't eat the meat. Run!"
Nothing happened after that.
I endured the pain in my ears and stood up suddenly, looking around, but there was nothing all around.
I took off the hand that was covering my ears, and there was a little blood on my palm.
Brother Yaozi and the others were alarmed and asked me what was going on.
It seemed that only I could hear the boy or girl talking in my ears just now.
"Two things just got stuck in my ears. If I hadn't been awake, I might have been killed like a big-horned deer!"
I looked around with a gloomy face: "However, I couldn't see anything, and I didn't feel anything strange in my ears. Those two things obviously ran away under my nose, but I didn't see any ghosts."
The sound of "Pap-Pap-Pap-Pap" continued one after another, and the other people turned on their flashlights one after another, and the entire ice cave was illuminated clearly.
Then, Brother Yaozi said "Huh", rubbed his eyes fiercely and glanced at me again, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Okay, it turns out they are these two things!!"
