1719: Eerie Ice Corpses! The Reappearance Of Ancient Runes! (3)

Eerie Ice Corpses! The Reappearance Of Ancient Runes! (3)

A piece of ancient architecture stood tall amid the icy landscape. Everything was frozen. Eaves, corridors, bricks, and tiles were all covered in ice crystals, resembling a long line of crystal palaces.0

Fortunately, this place wasn't entirely frozen. If not, they wouldn't be able to enter.

"Let's go and take a look at that building first." The martial warriors exchanged glances with one another and cautiously walked towards the foremost ancient architecture.

The place was incredibly quiet as if no living creature existed.

However, Wei Na and the others didn't dare to relax for a moment. The eerie silence of the place sent shivers down their spines.

They arrived entrance. The stone door was frozen by the ice and snow. It emitted a chilling aura.

"Who wants to knock?" Wei Na and the others swallowed their saliva as they stared at the door.

"Why don't Yuan Bai and Tong En do it?" Bi Yao looked at the two of them and hesitated.

"Look at how timid you are." Tong En took out a lollipop and stuck it in her mouth. She licked it a few times and rolled her eyes at Bi Yao. Then, she pushed the door directly.

Bang!

The stone gate fell with a dull and loud sound.

Despite the impact, the frozen gate remained completely undamaged. Its icy surface remained intact.

Everyone jumped in fright and took a few steps back.

"???" Tong En felt a little awkward. She turned to look at everyone and said, "This door seems a little weak. I just gave it a gentle push!"

Silence.

A gentle push and it fell?

It must be a very gentle push.

"Cough, this door has probably been neglected for years and couldn't hold up any longer," Wei Na coughed and broke the awkwardness.

"Yes, that's right. That must be it." Tong En nodded.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look." Wei Na waved her hand. She sensed no danger so she walked through the door.

The group stepped into the building cautiously behind her.

Many of these ancient structures were in the form of palaces, but most appeared to be ordinary houses. They looked like living quarters.

The room they entered now seemed like a living space.

As soon as they stepped in, a tremor ran through the hearts of the group. Their expressions changed slightly as they looked at the ground before them.

A frozen corpse lay on the ground!

The corpse looked so lifelike as if it were still a living person!

That was why Wei Na and the others were startled.

Coming across a frozen corpse in such an environment was undoubtedly a chilling experience. One could imagine their emotions.

Their nerves were already on the edge and the slightest movement could make them jump. Thus, seeing this scene only added to their shock and fear.

Moreover, the appearance of the corpse was eerie. The entire body was frozen stiff, with its hands reaching out towards the gate in a struggling motion like it was trying to crawl towards it. The face was contorted with terror as if it had seen something extremely horrifying.

This image added to the ominous atmosphere.

Wang Teng was watching them from the side like a bystander. He was hidden in space, less than three meters away from the group. He, too, was shocked when he saw the frozen corpse.

How can there be someone here?

"Gulp!" Pilder suddenly swallowed his saliva. It sounded exceptionally clear in this quiet place.

The group regained their senses and exchanged glances. They crouched down in front of the frozen corpse to check if the person was still alive.

"The clothing on this frozen corpse is very antiquated. It looks like something from ancient times!" Wei Na exclaimed.

"Indeed, it's an ancient style." Tong En nodded. His eyes glinted in excitement.

Bi Yao and the others were familiar with this. They studied ancient artifacts in the past so that they could make accurate judgments during their explorations.

Combined with the architectural style, they finally confirmed that this place was indeed an ancient architecture. Their previous speculations weren't wrong.

Ancient people?! Wang Teng wondered to himself. Through his Real Eye, he could already see that there were no signs of life within the frozen corpse. However, when he tried to determine the cause of the person's death, he found nothing conclusive. He could only confirm that the person had died from freezing.

He could tell from its appearance!

But, the question was, how did this person freeze to death?

Wang Teng initially wondered if this was the doing of the Ice Nematode, but he didn't find any traces of it.

This made him even more puzzled.

Could it be that this ancient building was suddenly invaded by some extremely cold force, causing everyone to freeze to death?

At this point, Wei Na and the others also confirmed the situation. They searched the room but didn't find anything of value so they left.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, they continued exploring one room after another. They discovered that most of the rooms had frozen corpses inside. Even as they walked through the streets, they came across numerous frozen bodies on the ground. Some were frozen in a running posture.

The five martial warriors' expressions were grim. Along the way, they saw at least thousands of frozen corpses.

One or two corpses weren't shocking but seeing thousands of frozen bodies before them intensified their unease.

They all sensed an eerie aura permeating this place. Their hearts weighed down with worry.

"Nothing. There's nothing here besides these frozen corpses," Pilder said dejectedly.

"We haven't gone to the most important central area, the palace-style building. If there are treasures, they will be there," Wei Na looked towards the central part of this place and said.
