The atmosphere in the ranks is now very gloomy.

It's not just the tragedy of the death of a companion.

After such an encounter, everyone has to face and consider the question - how do they get out?

Forget about the encirclement and interception of all kinds of strange creatures.

Just now, in order to get out from under the ice crystal-like thing, Aride took the initiative to use explosives to blow up the entrance when they came in.

If there is no other entrance to enter and exit this ice ring corridor......

When the time comes, I'm afraid that they will have to rely on their manpower to carve out the road under the ice.

with normal human abilities.

The possibility of such a thing can be imagined.

It's just that in such an environment, Ronald is in a good mood.

On the one hand, he knew that it was just a trial constructed by the original text; On the other hand, it's because of the special sight in front of you, which is so unique and interesting!

Hidden under the ice, the Ice Ring Corridor is still in its original appearance when the tunnel was opened, as it is located in a fairly safe place.

For example, some of the more obvious tool carvings, and the occasional construction marks left by the workers, all made Ronald think that this place was wonderful!

If it's not really a special situation right now.

Then he really has the idea of taking a good look here!

"Arrow, can we get out of the underground if we continue walking here?"

After groping for a few minutes, Yanni asked again:

"Look at the position of the lighting rod here, you have also investigated this place before, you should know some about the terrain, right?"

“……”

Irion did not respond to Jani's inquiry.

Instead, Grady, who was in front, took the initiative to explain:

"Rest assured, there is still hope of going out. At the end of this tunnel, there is a hall that resembles a sacrificial ground, and there is a space in which several layers of frozen corridors are linked. ”

"Once there, we can go around the blast point through ice at other depths and then successfully return to the surface."

As a doctor, Ivy also interjected at the right time:

"But even if we manage to get back to the surface, those blue strange creatures won't be able to dodge?"

As soon as the doctor spoke, the atmosphere in the team fell low again.

This is indeed a difficult problem that they can't get around.

In the face of the number and danger of the blue creatures, it was indeed difficult for a team of only five people to escape.

Seeing that the mood of the team was so low, Ronald had to force his mouth to comfort:

"Guys, don't take things so absolutely."

"This kind of group activity animals lose their prey, and often do not stay in one place for too long, as long as we pay careful attention after we go out, there is still a good chance of escape."

Yanni probably guessed Ronald's thoughts, so he also helped on the side:

"Yang is right."

"You really don't have to think about things so desperately."

Ronald and Yanni are, after all, professionals sent by the company.

After the two of them were unified, the other people in the team did not question it at all, and the depressed atmosphere was almost visibly improved.

And so it goes.

Ten minutes later.

They came to the place that appeared in Grady's mouth, which resembled a sacrificial ground.

- First of all, it's quite spacious.

People in ancient times used tools to carve out an open area the size of a football field under the ground around this frozen lake. In accordance with strict geometric rules, craftsmen carved sculptures of different shapes directly from ice cubes everywhere, so that they directly integrated with the ground.

Just to see the scene in front of you.

The value of this place as a research site is clear.

Not to mention the orientation of these sculptures, which also has very obvious characteristics. They all face the core of the space, and at the same time, the importance of each is fully expressed in this most intuitive way of arrangement.

Keep your eyes on the objects and follow the instructions of the objects.

A statue made entirely of ice cubes stands at the center of their orientation.

The statue is depicted as an elderly man in a cloak holding a sleek, straight staff. Ronald can associate some of the more famous beliefs of ancient gods from this image, but none of them can fully match them.

"Yang, can you recognize its origin?"

Yanni on the side knew that Ronald knew more about the mythological system, so he immediately asked.

Ronald shook his head slightly to indicate that he could not confirm.

He then raised his hand and pointed to the wall around him.

"I haven't seen the figures in this sculpture, but I can still recognize some of the words on the walls around me."

Just like most ancient ruins.

On the interior walls of this building in the ice, there are also frescoes of artificial sculptures as well as textual descriptions. There's not even a cheating ability like linguistic literacy, and by the characters on the walls alone, Ronald knows it's runi, a common thing that modern humans almost do.

Look around the mural to find the starting point.

Ronald immediately began translating the above contents.

The first picture of the mural shows a humanoid figure slowly rising from a frozen lake.

"Under the light of the Heavenly Dimension, the ancient prophet of the Ice Age has awakened and returned from the eastern glacial lake."

In the second picture, the awakened prophet is standing in front of a crowd of people, holding a bright ring-shaped gemstone in his hand.

"The Prophet promised. With the selfless help of the Goddess, people will eventually attain eternal life, no more hunger, no more thirst, and no more sickness. And in order to receive such blessings, people must make their own choices. ”

In the third picture, there is no longer a prophet here.

A large number of people gathered around the front of a palace, and a man in a fine costume held the jewel in his hand.

"The great King Rocan has obtained this gem and has gained immortality under this magical power, ruling the people to build a great empire!"

Ronald translated the mural little by little, and several others listened quietly.

But in the process, some people had extra thoughts.

Grady walked alone, toward the sculpture in the hall, the statue of the prophet in the mural.

"Grady, what are you doing?"

Yanni spotted Grady's movements, and immediately spoke to stop him.

Yet the girl's cry.

In exchange for a subtle smile from Grady:

"Before, that guy in Angels said he wanted to protect the ruins and wouldn't let me move. Now that we've all fallen to this point, it's not time to pay attention to this kind of thing, right? ”

"I ......"

Click-

Before he could finish a sentence, Grady's feet were empty.

I only heard the sound of ice breaking, and his whole body immediately disappeared in front of people's eyes.
