Chapter 160 The mysterious ice man!
But right now, Lin Bai has no better choice.
In this way, we chased each other and soon arrived at the foot of the ice tower.
Lin Bai leaped into the air and jumped into the tower like a big bird.
When he landed, he rolled over and over on the ice to relieve the impact.
Those wolves seemed relentless...
Lin Bai took a deep breath and bent his legs slightly, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
His taut muscles throbbed beneath his thin clothing, exuding a wild power.
Sweat slid down the knife-like contours of his face and dripped onto the ice under his feet, making a slight hissing sound.
"Awooo!" Behind him, the ice wolves let out a deafening howl, as if they were going to tear the ice field apart.
Their dark blue eyes burned with the flames of hunger, their fangs were sharp, and they couldn't wait to devour the living prey in front of them.
Cold sweat flowed down Lin Bai's back, but his eyes became more determined.
There is no way to retreat. Only by fighting to the death can we escape from this icy prison.
The next second, Lin Bai seemed to turn into the wind and suddenly leaped up.
His posture is graceful and powerful, like a falcon flapping its wings high in the sky.
The cold wind whistled in his ears and ruffled his hair, but it could not shake his resolute expression in the slightest.
Lin Bai spread his arms, drawing a perfect arc in the air.
He twisted his body flexibly and maintained a perfect balance.
The silver moonlight stretched his shadow very long, and it contrasted with the ice surface, as if performing an ethereal dance drama.
The claws of the ice wolves made a harsh sound on the ice as they chased after this bold intruder....
I wish I could tear him to pieces with my sharp teeth.
But the next moment, they all stopped in their tracks, as if they were under a spell of immobilization.
Lin Bai landed steadily in front of the ice tower and raised his hand to brush away the ice chips on his shoulders.
He looked back and saw the ice wolves trembling as if they had seen something extremely horrifying.
"Ouch..."
The leading wolf let out a mournful howl, as if begging for mercy.
It hung its head, revealing its fragile neck, and tucked its tail tightly between its legs.
The other ice wolves also retreated, their eyes full of fear, as if this ice tower was some kind of monstrous beast.
For a moment, Lin Bai even thought he was hallucinating.
How did these ferocious beasts suddenly turn into shivering sick cats?
But soon, he realized that this ice tower might have some unknown strange power.
The pack of ice wolves were shaking like leaves and stems killed by frost, and were about to scatter and flee.
The leading wolf let out a shrill howl, which seemed to be some kind of signal.
In an instant, white shadows flew all over the sky and quickly disappeared in the forest of ice shoots, and could no longer be found.
It all happened so fast, so fast that it seemed like a dream.
Lin Bai stared at the scene in amazement and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
When he finally recovered, he found himself standing at the foot of this huge ice tower, surrounded by coldness from all directions.
The interior of the ice tower is empty and deep, and the walls are covered with ice crystals of all sizes, sparkling in the pale moonlight.
These crystal clear hexagonal prisms, like natural crystal deposits, emit a faint blue light.
But this light was too cold, more like a ghostly light, which was creepy.
Lin Bai stepped into the tower carefully, fearing that he would disturb something that should not be disturbed.
The ice beneath his feet was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his vigilant face.
The cold air lingered like a shadow, and with every breath, white mist condensed in the air.
This ice tower seems to have its own life, emitting an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The towering tower reaches straight into the sky, and the top of the tower is hidden in the swirling mist, and no one knows where it leads to.
The air around seemed to be frozen, and there was deathly silence. Only Lin Bai's heartbeat was as deafening as a drum.
"call out--"
A biting cold wind suddenly swept through the bottom of the tower.
It was like countless sharp blades, cutting Lin Bai's cheeks and causing goose bumps.
The chill seemed to have substance, transforming into pairs of cold hands that were about to drag him into eternal night.
Lin Bai couldn't help but shiver, and quickly circulated his Qi to form a thin barrier on the surface of his body.
However, this weak resistance seemed so powerless in front of this ice tower.
The deeper he went, the more insignificant he felt, like a lone boat drifting in the endless icy sea.
I have been immersed in silence for so long that even the sound of my own breathing has become unfamiliar.
Lin Bai unconsciously slowed down his pace and pricked up his ears to catch every movement in the air.
Suddenly, he was struck by lightning, and all the hair on his body stood up.
In this dead silence, another voice was faintly heard...
It was the rustling sound of fluttering clothes, mixed with extremely weak breathing.
Lin Bai held his breath, turned slowly, and stared at the darkness deep inside the tower with his sharp eyes.
At first, he could only see the heavy shadows blending into the night and the faintly floating cold mist.
But gradually, as the field of vision adjusted, a vague human figure appeared in the darkness.
It seems to be integrated with the ice tower, exuding an obscure atmosphere.
The figure was motionless, like an ice sculpture.
But Lin Bai's intuition told him that it was definitely not a simple sculpture.
An inexplicable sense of crisis arose spontaneously, making him shudder.
Is he an enemy or a friend? The situation before us is confusing and full of unknowns.
Lin Bai was alert, curious, and at the same time, a little scared.
Reason told him that he should leave this damn place as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But his professional qualities as an extraordinary person drove him to find out the truth.
More importantly, this ice tower might be the key to the next level.
If we leave now, all our previous efforts will be wasted.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Bai finally gritted his teeth, suppressed his inner anxiety, and took a cautious step towards the direction of the figure...
The pale moonlight flowed along the tower wall like water, illuminating a small space.
With this faint light, Lin Bai was able to see the situation clearly.
I saw a figure sitting deep in the ice tower, like an ancient god.
He was wearing a plain monk's robe, with his hands clasped together, staring ahead in a meditative posture.
What surprised Lin Bai was that the monk's body was actually made of crystal clear ice.
From head to toe, there is not a trace of blood, reflecting a faint blue luster.
As the distance got closer, Lin Bai could see more details.
The Iceman was extremely thin, like a wind-dried branch. Under his monk's robe, there was only a skeleton, skin and bones.
But the most shocking thing was the broken wound on his right arm.
The ice there broke apart, exposing the white bones, which was a shocking sight.
The monk's wide robe sleeves moved without wind, and the ice at the hem was carved with dense patterns.
Lin Bai took a closer look and found that it was actually lines of Buddhist scriptures. These scriptures were arranged and combined to form an extremely complex totem.
