Chapter 654 Ice Animals
"Angel, Delat, what's going on over there?"
Hearing the exclamation coming from the communication, the mercenary Aerion walking in front of the team immediately tried to confirm the situation.
"Did you encounter any danger? Please tell me more details?"
"..."
The communication was silent for a moment.
After that, the panicked voices of the two people below continued to be heard in the communication:
"There... there is something down there. I saw something moving in the ice." "
But in just a blink of an eye, the guy disappeared again. ."
Erin frowned and continued to ask:
"Are you sure you are not dazzled? What is the approximate shape of that thing?"
As a mercenary, he has seen many visual and auditory hallucinations caused by fear. For example, the current environment can easily lead to such a situation.
"I'm not sure." Following Erin's inquiry, after the initial panic, the people in the ice below began to reorganize their language and try to come up with some useful answers, "The ice structure here is quite complicated. I just saw some vague shadows, and I can't rule out that they are the result of light and shadow being semi-reflected on the ice." "
..."
Several people were talking in the communication at the same time.
Ronald, who was in the center of the team, was speechless.
He now felt that he was not on a scientific expedition team, but on the filming site of a horror movie.
The expedition personnel responsible for supporting the expedition, the special and strange landforms and environment, the strange creatures that have never been heard of... these things are taken out one by one, and they are basically all ingredients used in monster movies or horror movies.
If you are serious about doing research, how can you have such fancy stuff?
But this is the case.
It also happened to inspire him to some extent.
According to the original content of "The Divine Comedy", the original trial he was in would never have such a strange environment. Instead, it should be a fantasy scene such as Hell and Heaven, or an important historical background when the poet Dante wrote this book. .
The current trial created such a scene...
Ronald believed in his heart that this must have its meaning.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Ronald's eyes began to focus on the surrounding environment.
After arriving here, he understood why the two members of the expedition insisted on staying and then selected the houses here for destructive excavation. Because just below this broken ice cave, there are circular corridors extending to both sides every few meters downward, and then surrounding the shape of the ice lake, forming a tunnel with no end at a glance.
Analyze through Ronald's eyes.
This kind of circular tunnel with a regular structure cannot be a naturally formed terrain. There should be some kind of 'builder' who plays an absolute interfering role.
After entering the ruins, if you discover the clues below through some weak ice structures, it is not incomprehensible that you will become curious after seeing such a shocking underground structure, and then continue to excavate.
At this time, Yanni, who was staying on the ground, suddenly spoke in the communication:
"Everyone, the situation here is not good."
"The blue animals that attacked the base just now appeared at the entrance. I probably can't stay where I am. ."
Erin ordered without hesitation:
"Yanni, you can find an igloo with an opening to hide in. The temperature here is low, so it's okay to be careful."
Yanni didn't even say anything in the communication There was time to reply.
Ronald intervened first and said:
"Yanni, I suggest you follow us down. These animals can successfully track here, and the temperature interference may not be enough to protect people's safety." "..." "
Lao
Yang , you wait for me to come down."
After only a short period of silence, Yanni told everyone her choice in the communication.
Ronald immediately turned his eyes to Erin.
He knew in his heart that this extremely controlling mercenary would probably be quite dissatisfied with his interruption. But the risk of staying up there was too great, and Ronald didn't want to continue losing men at this time.
The fact is the same as Ronald thought.
Hearing that Yanni refused his order and instead followed Ronald's suggestion, Erin looked quite unhappy now.
But when he noticed the vision cast by Ronald.
This guy still knew how serious the situation was, so he forced himself to give a very perfunctory smile.
"Haha, you are an expert. I heard your preparations." "
..."
After an uneasy interlude, the team continued downward.
Delat and Angel, who were in a deeper position, did not notice the same movement again.
The current situation.
It seems that they have returned to the smooth transition stage again...
Crack-Crack-Crack--
suddenly, the sound pickup function of professional headphones began to remind them.
As the positions of the upper and lower groups gradually approached under the ice, they were finally able to see the lights from each other's lighting systems. Just near the surrounding ice, there seemed to be a sound caused by some sharp object rubbing against the ice.
This was very similar to the sound that the two people described when they were panicking!
Ronald immediately asked:
"Angel, Delat, did you two turn on the sound pickup function of the headphones before?"
"Make up the sound?" Function? Why turn on that thing?"
The two explorers below sounded a little confused.
Considering the power consumption, this unnecessary function is usually turned off, and communication is the most important role of the headset. At this moment, under Ronald's questioning, they finally reached out and pressed the switch of the pickup function on the side of the earphones.
Chachacha—
a strange sound sounded.
At the location where Angel and Delat are.
This 'chacha' sound can be heard more clearly than Ronald and his colleagues.
In an instant -
the communication channel, which had been rarely talked about, fell completely silent again.
Anyone who has turned on the headphone pickup function knows that they are in big trouble now.
What Angel and Delat had discovered before was not an illusion caused by the crisis. It is in this strange underground ice environment that something is really moving!
Even listen carefully to the location of this sound.
You can be surprised to find one thing - the sound is getting louder little by little.
This thing is approaching them!
"Yang, I'm here."
It was also at this time that Yanni used the pulley set that Ronald and the others had arranged when they came down to reach the depth of the team.
Aerion is nominally in charge of commanding the team.
Almost immediately, he turned his attention to Yanni, who had just arrived here:
"Miss Yanni, do you know a..."
"No, I don't know!" Yanni answered Erin's question almost immediately, and then Not forgetting to describe the seriousness of the situation. "It's true that there are no animals living in glacial environments, but I've never heard of animals like this that can move freely in the ice." Click - When
Yanni
introduced, the team above and the two waves below The lighting lights just hit each other.
Right here.
They saw an extremely astonishing scene.
A crystal-clear creature made of ice-like material was piercing its sharp ice-like tentacles into one of the two people below!
