Chapter 370: Not good, retreat quickly!
Zhao Jingyi nodded slightly, her eyes falling on the area marked as unknown on the map, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.
"Brother Afeng, should we wait a little longer and see if there's a safer way? This whole road is filled with snow-capped mountains and unknown snowy areas. It's icy and snowy. If we run into any more danger, it'll be troublesome."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It's always like this in extremely cold places. Even if we wait here for ten years, there's nothing we can do."
At this time, Irina also woke up. She heard the conversation between the two and quickly walked to the driver's seat and said:
"I agree with Lin Feng. We can't wait any longer. Although there are many uncertainties ahead, we have powerful weapons, transportation, and sufficient warm clothing. We can definitely deal with any emergency."
Wang Shuxue and Yang Mi also came over with sleepy eyes and said, "No matter what happens, I believe in Brother Feng. We will face it together."
Lin Feng looked at the woman beside him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's get ready to set off after breakfast."
So after Lin Feng and the girls had a simple breakfast, they got out of the RV with Zhong Ning, turned around and put the house into the space.
Lin Feng's mind moved again, and two synthetic Bobcat all-terrain vehicles were taken out from the space again.
After the girls and Daha and Erha got into their cars, Lin Feng took the lead in driving the Bobcat car and slowly headed southeast.
The wheels rolled hard on the snow, making a "crunching" sound.
The scenery outside was also receding rapidly, and the continuous snow-capped mountains were flashing with cold light under the sunlight.
After driving for two or three hours, an ice field appeared in front of us.
The ice on the ice field was thick and smooth, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. Lin Feng slowed down the car, carefully observed the surroundings, took out a paper map from the space, compared it with the geology here, and began to study it carefully.
At this time, Zhao Jingyi and Wang Shuxue, who got out of another Bobcat car, also quickly came to Lin Feng.
Zhao Jingyi asked, "What happened to Afeng?"
Lin Feng looked up and observed his surroundings again before he slowly said, "If my guess is correct, the Earth Crystal might be nearby."
Zhao Jingyi and Wang Shuxue looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and expectation.
Wang Shuxue jumped up excitedly: "Really, Brother Feng? Then let's go find it quickly!"
Lin Feng, however, looked solemn. He pointed at the ice field beneath his feet and the surrounding snow-capped mountains and said:
"Don't be too happy. The terrain around here is too complex. This ice field may seem peaceful, but it actually hides dangers. There might be a bottomless ice hole underneath. Besides, we don't know if there are any other dangers nearby."
Zhao Jingyi observed her surroundings carefully and nodded, "Afeng is right. With such a large ice field, if you're not careful, you're very likely to miss it."
"So for safety reasons, everyone has a rope tied around their waist, connected together, to prevent anyone from accidentally falling into the ice hole."
Just as Lin Feng said, he quickly took out a bundle of tough synthetic nylon rope from the space and skillfully divided it into several sections.
Then he tied one end of a rope tightly around his waist and tied a knot. After making sure it was secure, he handed the other end to Zhao Jingyi.
Zhao Jingyi took the rope, tied it in the same way, and then walked towards Wang Shuxue.
Wang Shuxue also cooperated obediently, wrapped the rope around her slender waist twice, fastened the knot, and handed it to Irina, and then to Yang Mi.
In just a short while, everyone was connected to the same rope, forming a tight "life chain".
Lin Feng checked the knots on everyone and reminded them:
"Everyone, be careful. Don't stray too far from the group. If you notice anything unusual under your feet, make a sound immediately."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, their eyes revealing tension and determination.
When everything was ready, Lin Feng took the first step carefully with two snow poles in hand.
I just stepped onto this seemingly peaceful but dangerous ice field.
The ice under my feet made a slight "crunching" sound, as if issuing a warning.
Zhao Jingyi and Wang Shuxue followed closely behind, holding their snow poles tightly in their hands and moving forward cautiously.
Irina and Yang Mi were also concentrating, while Daha and Erha followed closely at Lin Feng's feet, with their ears erect, ready to deal with danger at any time.
They moved forward slowly and arduously, taking every step carefully.
However, at this moment, the ice under his feet suddenly shook violently, and a crack quickly spread from under Lin Feng's feet.
"No, get back!"
Lin Feng shouted and pulled the rope hard, trying to lead everyone back.
However, the cracks spread too quickly, cutting off their retreat in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Lin Feng and the girls were trapped together on a gradually shrinking ice surface, surrounded by bottomless ice cliffs. The cold wind whistled past, making people shiver.
What's worse is that as the ice surface continues to shrink, the weight of the crowd begins to overwhelm the ice surface, making a "cracking" sound.
Every sound seemed to strike at everyone's heart, causing their heartbeats to accelerate rapidly.
"Damn it! It was fine when I got here, but now I can't go back."
Lin Feng, the girls, and the Husky were squeezed on this narrow ice surface, and they felt mixed emotions.
But what he didn't expect was that a low roar suddenly came from the distance, and a huge ice beast slowly walked out from the snow-capped mountains not far away.
This giant ice beast was covered with thick white scales, its sharp fangs flashing coldly in the sun, its blood-red eyes staring at the trapped people, and it was approaching Lin Feng and the others step by step.
Lin Feng and the girls, who were already in a desperate situation at this time, suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this scene.
Daha and Erha even barked wildly at this giant beast on the ice.
Lin Feng frowned, his brain working rapidly. He stared vigilantly at the approaching ice beast, while quickly scanning the surrounding environment, trying to find a hint of life.
"Afeng, what should we do now?"
Wang Shuxue's hands were tightly gripping the rope around her waist, and her knuckles had turned white from the force.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly came up with an idea and said to the giant ice beast on the opposite bank:
"Brother, can you please help us and pull us over?"
But what Lin Feng never expected was that the giant ice beast on the other side of the river was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily and pounced towards Lin Feng and the others from a distance of more than ten meters...
