Chapter 164 Snow Girl

Chapter 164 Snow Girl
Everyone looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing did not kill any contaminated bodies along the way and was as weak as an ordinary person.

But he is good at divination and has strong physical fitness. He always walks at the front of the team with Feng Ling, so the hunters assume that he is an auxiliary card holder.

No one would have thought that he was an alien.

Just like when Feng Ling first met Li Qing, he never thought that an alien would send him a red envelope.

Li Qing said: "I searched for some information online. This forest maze is likely to be constructed with Slavic mythology as the main element. In Slavic mythology, there is a monster called Zima. They usually look like beautiful and thin women. They will confuse humans in heavy snow. Once humans curiously follow them into the mountains, they will be frozen by their icy breath. Zima likes to suck human corpses, and will freeze and store what they can't finish in one go."

After Li Qing finished speaking, everyone shuddered.

Even Feng Ling felt extremely uncomfortable.

She felt that this way of dying was too painful, and it would be more painful than having the Queen Mother of the West dig out her heart and stomach.

Besides, the Queen Mother of the West only kills people, she doesn’t eat them.

If he was frozen by this monster called Zima, and his flesh, blood, and bones were all melted into a paste and sucked away, Feng Ling felt that even if he had the mother nest card with the strongest vitality, he would not be able to survive.

"Zima's name means winter when translated. Some translated versions of folk tales also refer to them as snow demons or snow maidens." Li Qing looked around and continued, "There are many icicles here. I guess there is more than one snow maiden. Everyone should be careful."

——The shadow of the Snow Girl can be found in many myths and legends. The image of the Snow Girl varies greatly in different regions.

Xu Yiming said: "It would be great if we could know what this monster looks like, so that we can warn other hunters."

He turned around and asked the hunter behind him: "Xiao Hai, can you use your ability again?"

Xiao Hai looked embarrassed. "My ability is to read the residual images stored in the brain. These corpses don't have brains..."

The inside of a corpse turned to mush.

Of the other body only a thin layer of skin remained.

Xu Yiming's request was really too much for Xiaohai.

Everyone stayed where they were, hesitating to move forward.

Su Yuqing didn't want to waste any more time, so he tightened the shoulder straps of his bag and walked into the maze.

"Lao Su? Hey! Lao Su!" Xu Yiming hurriedly chased after him, "Wait for me!"

At a distance of about ten steps, the figures of Su Yuqing and Xu Yiming were quickly covered by the wind and snow.

Feng Ling glanced at the hunters present and said, "That's it. Those who are willing to enter the maze follow me. Life and death are at your own risk."

She turned and walked into the maze.

Li Qing, Huangfu Miaomiao, Cat Spider and Cat Owl all followed.

In the maze, the biting cold instantly surrounded Feng Ling.

The snow and wind were so strong that she could hardly open her eyes. At this moment, she couldn't help but appreciate the benefit of wearing a mask to block the wind.

Feng Ling looked behind him and found that three hunters followed him in. He felt very complicated.

What are you drawing?

So selfless and great?

The hunters who came in saw Feng Ling standing there in a daze, thinking that she was moved, so they raised their fists and made a gesture of encouragement to her, with each of them having a firm expression.

Feng Ling: “…………”

To be honest, she was a little impressed.

She knew herself very well that the reason why she was so actively searching for Ye Zheng's whereabouts was partly because of the interests of the country and family, and partly because of saving lives and helping the wounded.

The remaining seven points were that she saw her own shadow in Ye Zheng's experience. If she allowed Ye Zheng to become a contaminated body, Feng Ling would feel angry as if she was defeated by an alien species.

So, rather than saying that she was going to save Ye Zheng, it would be more accurate to say that she was competing with the alien species.

Her purpose is far less pure than those hunters.

Feng Ling caught up with Su Yuqing and Xu Yiming in front.

The two men were still arguing, one was stubborn and wanted to find Ye Zheng, while the other one disliked the other's poor health.

Feng Ling stepped forward to interrupt their conversation and said, "There are three hunters who volunteered to come in."

Xu Yiming was stunned for a moment, "…It should be Liang Jiaqin and Zhu Yu. They promised to help me find someone. Who is the other one?"

Xu Yiming turned his head curiously and finally saw the three hunters gradually approaching in the wind and snow.

The expression on his face was stunned, and he was dazed for a moment before he came to his senses.

Of the three people who came in, he only knew one of them, Liang Jiaqin, and the other two were strangers.

Zhu Yu did not come in.

Did he suddenly regret it? Was he frightened by the bodies in the ice cones?
Xu Yiming subconsciously wanted to ask Liang Jiaqin, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. He felt that he was not in the position to question.

——It is a favor for a friend to be willing to help. If a friend doesn’t want to help anymore, you can only accept it. After all, it is a matter of life and death, and it is normal for a friend to regret it.

Xu Yiming took a breath silently and tried his best to adjust his mentality.

"... Let's get to know each other again." He said with a smile, "My name is Xu Yiming, and I came from Jingnan City."

Several people made brief introductions to each other.

The three hunters who came in were two men and one woman. Except for Xu Yiming's friend Liang Jiaqin, the other two were named Wu Wei and Wen Xiuyan.

The weather was too cold, and even standing there and talking was painful, so they didn't talk for much before continuing to head deeper into the maze.

The snowstorm was very strong.

Because the terrain is an undulating slope, unlike the dense trees in the forest, there is no shelter here, and the heavy snow hits our faces directly, and everyone's eyelashes and eyebrows are quickly covered with frost.

Xu Yiming joked in a humorous way: "I don't even need to meet the Snow Girl, I can be frozen into a popsicle."

Feng Ling narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky. "It's getting dark. We have to find a shelter as soon as possible to spend the night."

——The sunset time in this area of ​​Daling Forest is very late. In June, the sun will not set until around 8:30.

They set out at noon and had been wandering around for most of the day. If they wanted to continue exploring Area B, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

But where is the shelter here?
Xu Yiming looked around and vaguely saw a forest at the foot of the hill.

He asked Feng Ling: "How about going to the woods?"

In fact, the woods is not a good choice, because there is a high probability that unknown creatures will appear in the woods, but Xu Yiming really can't find a better place.

At least the wind and snow in the woods will be less severe.

Feng Ling was about to agree when Huangfu Miaomiao pulled her sleeve gently, pointing in the completely opposite direction.

It was already a little dark, and with the heavy snow, the vision was hazy. Feng Ling didn't know what Huangfu Miaomiao wanted him to see, so he bent down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huangfu Miaomiao was afraid of being heard by others, so she mouthed three words to Feng Ling silently: "Safe, District."

Feng Ling's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Li Qing, his eyes seemed to ask: If the maze has been breached, will the safe zone still be effective?

Li Qing seemed to understand her look and nodded at her.
