The Nine Chapters of Mystery Chapter 43: Bitter Cold Land(2/2)
Su Wangting held the long knife behind his back with both hands and slowly raised it above his head.
His sharp eyes were fixed on the ice beneath his feet.
"ha!!!"
Shout again!
The long knife stabbed the ice body under my feet fiercely!
The falling snow was blown back into the air by the air wave that burst out again!
Su Wangting was kneeling on one knee, still holding the handle of the knife tightly with both hands.
The long knife has been completely submerged in the ice body.
After a moment of silence, only a faint rumble could be heard coming from the iceberg.
Gradually, Su Wangting's feet began to tremble slightly. As the rumbling became louder and louder, the trembling under his feet became more and more intense.
Suddenly, Su Wangting whipped out his long knife, shouted softly, and raised it high.
"Boom!"
Snow dust is flying.
The lotus-picking man and his companions all screamed in surprise, panicking to avoid the falling ice cubes from the sky.
Half of this snow mountain collapsed in an instant!!
After landing, Su Wangting returned the sword to its sheath.
When the snow and dust settled, I saw only half of the iceberg's cross section, the light blue crystal ice reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
"Sir, look!!!"
The man picking lotus suddenly pointed at the section and screamed.
Su Wangting, who was brushing off the ice and snow on his body, was startled and followed the hand of the man picking lotus.
I saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow in the cross section of the iceberg!
"That is?" Su Wangting frowned.
At this time, the man picking lotus shouted again: "Sir, that... seems to be a person!!"
"people!?"
Su Wangting was startled and hurried over, putting his face against the iceberg's cross section and looking into the ice.
"Um!!??"
Su Wangting took a deep breath, and the hairs all over his body suddenly exploded!
Then cold sweat slid down his cheeks.
It’s human!!
Inside the iceberg, there is a man sitting cross-legged frozen!!
"A person who froze to death?"
Su Wangting took a deep breath and looked into Bing's body again.
But this time when he took a closer look, he felt more and more incredible.
The man inside the iceberg looked lifelike, showing no signs of dehydration or decay. Judging from his calm facial expression, he seemed to have just fallen asleep.
"The lotus picker who died in the snowstorm?" The lotus picker and his companions also came over.
Su Wangting slowly shook his head: "It's not like that. Look at what this person is wearing."
The lotus-picking man looked at the cross section and nodded: "It certainly doesn't look like lotus-picking people. When we lotus-picking people come to this bitterly cold place, we must be wrapped in thick clothes three layers inside and three outside to keep out the cold.
, but this person is wearing seemingly thin clothes."
Su Wangting added: "It's still a very finely crafted piece of clothing."
The man picking lotus sighed: "I don't know how many years this man has been frozen here. Hey, just like us poor lotus pickers, we don't know when we will never be able to go back and will be frozen here forever."
It’s a bitter cold land.”
Su Wangting said with a smile: "That's what I said, just don't be greedy for this money. No one is forcing you to come to this damn place."
"Hey, isn't this so that the mother-in-law and children at home can live a better life?" the lotus-picking man said with a sneer.
Su Wangting stared at the man inside Bing's body and murmured: "Could it be that... the green fluorescence you saw is related to this person?"
The lotus-picking man shook his head repeatedly and said: "Impossible! It's okay to say that in the tombs in the mountains in the south, you can occasionally see green will-o'-wisps in the summer, but here there is no rotten corpse, and it is frozen in the iceberg.
How can the things inside shine?"
"That's true." Su Wangting touched his chin, his brows knitted into knots, "But what exactly is that green light you saw?"
While Su Wangting was pacing back and forth and thinking hard, he heard a "plop" sound.
Su Wangting turned around and saw that the lotus-picking man fell to the ground, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his face turned visibly white.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The lotus-picking man's lips were trembling, and he stretched out his trembling fingers towards the cross section of the iceberg.
"What's wrong? This is a shock." Su Wangting looked back at the cross section of the iceberg following his finger in confusion.
But at this sight, Su Wangting's mind buzzed!!
"This...this is!?"
I saw the man frozen in the ice, and I don’t know when he opened his eyes!!
"Ghost... ghost..."
The man picking lotus rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.
