Chapter 1411: Chapter 1411: No Hope in Sight
Qin Sisi peeked out from Ye You’s embrace, carefully observing one of the snown from the side, feeling quite puzzled.
The first ti these snown were burned, their bodies shrank, and after rolling in the snow, they almost without hesitation found their position and surrounded her and Ye You.
After she and Ye You escaped the encirclent, they could quickly lock onto them, relentlessly pursuing in the right direction.
So how exactly do these snown determine their location?
Snown have no eyes, so they don’t rely on vision; they have no ears, so they don’t rely on hearing; nor do they have a nose, so they don’t rely on sll.
They surely can’t be using sonar like bats!
Qin Sisi shook her head slightly; although sonar is precise, it’s not suitable for this environnt. Snowstorms continue unabated, and a snowflake could trigger sonar, causing too many interferences.
After a process of elimination, there was only one possibility left: they rely on temperature sensing.
In this cold environnt, anything warm is easily detected by sensitive creatures.
Snown are cold, and human bodies are warm, so it’s likely that the snown locked onto them through her and Ye You’s body heat, which is why they chased them without error.
However, this sensing has a distance limit, which is why only four snown pursued them while the others stayed in place.
If she guessed correctly, it should be the four snown closest to them when they passed through the snown’s ranks.
Thinking this, Qin Sisi quietly said a few words to Ye You.
Ye You’s eyes flickered a few tis, and suddenly he stopped in place.
Due to inertia, the four snown couldn’t control themselves and slid a distance forward.
Taking advantage of this mont, Ye You quickly released the Ice Attribute Magic Force, forming a Freezing Wall in front of him and Qin Sisi.
If the snown really use temperature sensing to determine location, then using sothing cold to sever their thermal link might make the snown unable to find them.
Qin Sisi guessed correctly. The suddenly appearing Freezing Wall confused the returning four snown, leaving them wandering helplessly near the ice wall.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye You conjured three more Freezing Walls, enclosing them on all four sides, ensuring their body heat wouldn’t leak out and be detected.
Ye You had just sighed in relief when Qin Sisi patted his head and pointed upwards.
Above was open, directly connected to the outside, and those snown’s magic power was strong. They might find them after so searching.
Ye You squinted, raised his hand, and continued to unleash the Ice Attribute Magic Force, sealing the small square of sky above with a Freezing Wall.
Now, he and Qin Sisi seed to be trapped in a semi-transparent ice crystal room.
After a thrilling and exhausting chase, Ye You felt a bit weary and sat down on the snowy ground inside the little room, observing the four snown outside through the semi-transparent Freezing Wall.
Qin Sisi also erged from his clothes, examining this silver-clad, perilous ice and snow land.
Sure enough, the four snown couldn’t find them. The Freezing Wall had entirely isolated their body heat, leaving the bewildered snown to slide back to their original positions in the ranks.
The Extre North Ice Field returned to calm. From a distance, the neatly arranged snown resembled a line of white-clad sentinels, guarding the Extre North Ice Field vigilantly, permitting no one to enter or leave.
Ye You and Qin Sisi stayed half a day in the tiny house made from the Freezing Wall. Due to the extre cold, even without infusing Ice Attribute Magic Force, the Freezing Wall hardly lted away.
After ensuring the snown no longer noticed them, Ye You cautiously released a small amount of Fire Attribute Magic Power to lt the Freezing Wall on the side facing away from the snown.
Then he and Qin Sisi left the small Freezing Wall house and headed north with determination.
Having safely evaded the invincible and powerful snown, both felt a rush of excitent, but it soon dissipated.
In the cold blizzard, in the endless white icy expanse, any excitent can’t last long.
They took out so food from the storage ring in their Portable Space to eat, replenished so strength, and after a short rest, continued northward.
Yet, on this boundless ice field, the further they walked, the more despair they felt.
This lonely and helpless feeling had not even erged in the dry, scorching Deep Pupil Desert.
Because in the Deep Pupil Desert, so Demonic Beasts would occasionally appear, whether they would end up encountering conflict or not; it was proof of life.
Here, however, it’s a seemingly endless white expanse, with no change in scenery no matter how far they traveled, almost as if they were moving in circles.
Moreover, they hadn’t encountered a single creature, as if they had arrived in a land of death, devoid of life except for them.
They trudged northward through relentless blizzards for three days and nights, exhausted, with no hope in sight.
They believed that on this harsh ice field, there must exist a Deity Guardian, but they had no idea how long it would take to find him.
If he floated like a snowflake, would they ever find him?
When they stopped to rest once more, Qin Sisi suddenly asked, "What do you think the snown would do to us if they caught us?"
Ye You paused slightly, thought, and replied, "I’m not sure, but their Ice Magic is formidable. Ordinary people or those with weaker magic power would certainly freeze to death."
Qin Sisi pondered aloud, "But we didn’t see any corpses in that area. Could it be that no one has ever ventured here over the years?"
Ye You shook his head, "Even if no one ca, there should at least be so Demonic Beasts."
Qin Sisi nodded, "It’s so cold here that even if creatures were frozen to death, their frozen bodies would remain, so why aren’t there any?"
The two exchanged a glance, a suspicion quietly arising.
If the creatures frozen by the snown didn’t remain where they fell, they must have been taken elsewhere.
Who took them?
Most likely the snown.
Where would the snown take those creatures who trespassed into the Extre North Ice Field?
Perhaps to the person using Ice Attribute Magic Force to control them.
Soone with such powerful Ice Attribute Magic Force is likely the Deity Guardian.
Even if not, they must have a close relationship with the Deity Guardian.
