Chapter 269 Differences
However, what Cheng Ce worried about still happened. Just when the bridge was deformed and twisted to a certain extent, it suddenly stopped.
"It's probably almost there!" Cheng Ce frowned.
Xiao Jin did not answer. As soon as the bridge stopped sinking, her eyes began to scan all parts of the bridge.
After taking a few glances, Xiao Jin simply moved to the edge of the bridge, then she jumped directly down. When she jumped to a certain height, she decisively threw out the "magic carpet".
Then, the magic carpet carrying Xiao Jin floated under the bridge.
Her action really frightened Cheng Ce, and his heart was in his throat. He didn't know the existence of the 'magic carpet', so he ran over quickly.
As soon as he got closer, he saw that Xiao Jin did not fall down as he had imagined, but was standing on a blanket that violated Newtonian mechanics and floating in the air.
Although it was not the first time he had seen Xiao Jin's magical powers, he still wasn't used to seeing him again.
In the sunlight, Xiao Jin was dressed in black as ink. Because it was not cold, he did not wear a bulky coat. His figure was still standing upright on the edge of the crumbling bridge.
A long sword appeared in her hand, with a faint blue light on the blade.
"Shh!"
Xiao Jin's long sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sound of it cutting through the air was sharp and piercing. Several bright sword lights instantly burst out, and with an indomitable momentum, it smashed hard into the weak part of the bridge that seemed solid but was actually scarred.
The moment the blade touched the bridge, a deafening roar erupted. Under this violent impact, cracks quickly spread across the bridge and stones fell off one after another.
Finally, under Xiao Jin's attack, the bridge began to sink again, and disintegrated in mid-air and fell onto the ice on the sea.
Because the bridge was too heavy, Xiao Jin and the others didn't even need to break the ice, and a large area of sea space appeared under the bridge.
Xiao Jin's figure soared into the air at the moment the bridge collapsed, drew a graceful arc, and landed steadily on the other side.
The 'magic carpet' under her feet was also taken back by her.
Cheng Ce came over and said happily, "It's a success. Now it's up to Brother Jian and the others!"
………………
All day long, everyone in the shelter was in intense preparation.
The ice surrounding the entire island was also broken into pieces and sank to the bottom of the sea thanks to everyone's efforts.
Fortunately, although the temperature outside is low, it is not high enough to freeze the entire sea.
On the way back from the bridge, Xiao Jin used the beast bait and beast traps he got in the previous game to make some defensive devices.
Although I don’t know if it will be useful against the snow beast, it’s better than nothing!
The icebreaking plan was called off until eight o'clock in the evening. At that time, the maximum distance between the prison island and the ice surface on the other side was 15 meters.
This means that if anyone wants to go to the island, they must first cross this 15-meter distance.
As for the reason for the suspension, it was because it was already dark outside, it was unsafe to work at night, and the temperature was extremely low.
Shao Jing measured it and found that it was already minus 80 degrees Celsius.
They couldn't stay outside any longer.
Secondly, even if they took turns working, everyone couldn't hold on any longer.
All the players' props have also entered a cool-down period. In other words, they can no longer be chiseled. They really can't be chiseled.
So everyone retreated back to the Black Tower.
Because no one knew when the snow beast would arrive, no one planned to sleep that night.
After a hearty meal, Shao Jing and Deng Xing cleared the lower three floors and moved everyone in.
Although it's a bit crowded, I can't care about that at this time. I can keep warm by squeezing together.
It was extremely cold up there, and if the black tower was breached, they might be able to survive down there.
The older ones held the younger ones, the older ones looked after the younger ones, and all the men and women squatted together. The charcoal basins were also divided into layers of 10.
Jian Yiqiu also left enough food for them. As for the players, they were all concentrated on the upper level.
After everything was ready, the people above took turns watching the monitor.
Players who have reconnaissance items also take turns using them.
When Xiao Jin blew up the bridge before, she did not forget to take back the other eye. When she returned to the shelter, she placed it directly on the roof.
In the middle of the night, Jian Yiqiu simply slept in the monitoring room, holding hot water, his body curled up like a polar bear.
Even though he was fully armed with a hat and scarf, it still couldn't stop the coldness from gradually seeping in.
"Why don't you go down." At this time, Xiao Jin pushed the door open, pulled a chair and sat next to him.
All the natives were stuffed into the lower three floors. Logically, the current temperature was too much for Jian Yiqiu. Cheng Ce and Shao Jing had to go down to appease the natives.
Only Jian Yiqiu refused to wait for the warm place and insisted on staying there.
Jian Yiqiu put down the cup casually.
There's no way. In this weather, even hot water cools down quickly.
"Aren't you up there too?" he replied.
Xiao Jin turned and looked at the monitor: "It won't be long before these things are no longer useful!"
"Ah."
"...Leave. The next battle is not something you can participate in."
Jian Yiqiu remained silent.
After a while, Xiao Jin left, but left a protective suit on the chair.
........................
At about three o'clock in the morning, a player detected an unusual situation and decisively notified everyone.
The players had a premonition, and those who had fallen asleep woke up immediately and watched the images transmitted back together.
Five minutes later, Gao Ya and other big players gathered in the monitoring room, where Jian Yiqiu was also sitting.
Just as Xiao Jin said, the surveillance screen was pitch black and was completely damaged due to the low temperature in the second half of the night.
Everyone sat on both sides of the long table.
Jian Yiqiu was in good spirits at this time. Although he was still wearing bulky clothes, his complexion was no longer pale and there was a little redness on his face.
Xiao Jin retracted his gaze, it seemed that the protective clothing he gave was still effective.
What Jian Yiqiu was wearing was the advanced protective suit that Xiao Jin had discarded before. It was a common protective gear among players nowadays.
Not only in terms of defense, it can also withstand some high temperatures and severe cold.
"Okay, everyone has seen the situation, so tell us what your plans are." Gao Ya spoke first, breaking the silence in the room.
Recalling the scene they had just seen, everyone fell into deep thought.
"At a glance, the giant snow beast leading the group should be the cocoon that Boss Xiao saw earlier. There are also a large number of snow beasts around it. I prefer to avoid a fight."
"No, are you sure they won't find us?"
"But there are too many snow beasts. There are at least thousands of them in the picture. How can we kill them?"
