Chapter 861: The Kingdom of Ice
will talk about normal conditions.
It is reasonable for ordinary people to lose their balance on slippery ice and immediately fall to the ground.
It’s just that Nicole is not an ordinary person.
Even though this guy's character is naturally out-of-the-box, and he is currently in a cartoon world composed of "Maze Picture Book". But after losing her balance for just a moment, the investigator girl quickly regained her balance, then straightened her posture and stood firm on the ice.
Just because the ice was too slippery, she had no choice but to move forward a certain distance.
Then, Nicole glanced around.
The curiosity that gathered in his eyes was finally passed to Ronald:
"Ronald, come and experience it too!"
"It's so slippery here! Even on the frozen surface of Denkris Lake in winter, It's not as good as... No! This is the smoothest ice I've ever seen!"
"..." "
Nicole, our mission now is to escape."
Although Ronald didn't want to interrupt Nicole's interest, he had no choice but to The situation at the moment was extremely urgent and there was no room for them to waste time on such a matter.
"Hurry up... huh!"
He warned while walking towards Nicole, but Ronald also slipped under his feet.
Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his body's balance and didn't stumble like Nicole just now.
"This is too slippery..."
Ronald couldn't help but complain.
Although all means of force were prohibited, neither he nor Nicole had developed abilities that were incapable of dealing with smooth surfaces.
——So there is only one answer.
The ground of this ice world is no longer simply smooth.
And inherent factors like environmental settings.
Not to mention strong people like Ronald or Nicole, even professional explorers wearing non-slip shoes would probably have to slip up a bit.
"Ronald, isn't it interesting!"
At this time, noticing the changes in Ronald's movements and expressions, Nicole also kicked off her feet and slid directly in front of him, and then asked with interest:
"What about your book? The original book is great!"
"When we have time, let's find some free time. Can you play with me more?"
Ronald nodded, then reached out and grabbed Nicole's palm, and then led her directly to Sliding forward:
"Let's continue on our way now."
"Next time I have a chance, I will definitely take you to play..."
[The great mother who gave birth to all things is about to wake up from her slumber! ]
[However, there was a murderer who imagined that she would fall into a deep sleep and never wake up again. ]
[Children, the enemy is above. ]
[Catch them and eat their flesh and blood before they escape from this continent! 】
Ronald and Nicole are continuing to explore into the ice.
But just at this moment.
A voice full of indignation appeared from the void, as if it was accusing some unforgivable sin.
When Nicole heard this voice, she was a little confused for the first time.
But Ronald, who had experience in a maze chase game, knew it very well.
This sudden voice-over is the announcement that the pursuit of the pursuers has begun. And just like what he and Nicole saw before leaving, Baichuan gave birth to more than one predator. This escape mission was definitely full of hardships.
"Ronald, is this our pursuer coming?"
On the other side, Nicole, who was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted and then asked Ronald the meaning of this announcement:
"Are we going to lose ?" Already? Now..."
[The scary monster is awakening! ]
[Brave adventurer, escape from here before those demons catch up, and bring this secret treasure back to the civilized human world. ]
[The choice that determines the fate of the world—right now! ]
...
Ronald and Nicole looked at each other.
Just when the investigator girl was about to confirm the situation with Ronald, the voice just now appeared again in the void, but the tone changed accordingly.
And who it is targeting this time.
It was not the predatory individuals responsible for the pursuit, but Ronald and Nicole who were escaping at the moment.
Snap——
Then, almost at the same time, it was announced that it was over in the void.
A luminous key appeared out of thin air in front of Ronald. Its metal surface was covered with simple and beautiful oak patterns. You could tell at a glance that it was a treasure.
Snap -
Ronald subconsciously held it in his hand.
And with this action, he also understood the significance of the key.
This is the sealed secret key given to him as a fugitive by "The Maze Book". As long as he and Nicole successfully escape from the Arctic continent in this game, this key will also appear in the real world.
At that time, this will be the key item to maintain the seal on the dust monster.
As long as the key itself exists, this dust beast will remain in dust under the North Pole for hundreds of years as stipulated by the spell.
During this hundred years, if Ronald goes back on his word, the key can be destroyed.
At that time, the seal of the dust beast will also disappear simultaneously.
"..."
"This is quite humane..."
Ronald muttered something in a low voice, and then turned to Nicole to inform her of the situation:
"Nicole, the meaning of the notification just now is that the pursuers we captured have already set off. Meaning."
"Now we need to continue to speed up."
"..."
There is no need to discuss the facts.
Naturally, Ronald and Nicole's progress continued to accelerate.
Because Baichuan's predators had just woken up, they were still climbing up the crack below. Without being prompted, these guys have not yet tracked the location of Ronald and the other two.
As Ronald and Nicole continued to move forward, a few minutes passed, and finally there was a difference in the ice realm that had not changed around them.
"Ronald, there seems to be a team ahead."
Nicole, who was already excited, immediately pointed to the thing in front and shouted.
What appeared in their sight were actually the cave creatures they had seen before.
It's just that these guys are now in groups, marching forward in a long queue, and at the front of the team, it seems that a narrow ice crevice can be seen standing on the team's path.
"..."
The two continued to move forward, the distance became closer, and the situation gradually became clearer.
At the entrance of this crack, there are some strange guys whose bodies are made entirely of ice. They are stopping there to inspect the cave creatures passing through. The efficiency is very slow and visible to the naked eye.
"This...should be the test we have to pass."
Ronald quickly made a judgment on the scene in front of him.
At this very moment.
The voice-over in the void came to the ears of the two people just right -
[The team of refugees planning to escape underground are struggling to move forward in the land of ice. What they face is an uncertain road ahead, and a tragic and desperate fate that will follow! 】
【Brave adventurer! ]
[If you want to reach the ground from here, you must pass the test of the Ice Kingdom! ]
[Satisfy the king's requirements and get permission to pass. ]
[Or choose another way to escape from here! 】
