Chapter 87 Hard Times
Zhang Mu returned to the valley where the Xuemeng was stationed. A few mountains were separated by him. He saw a tall building in the valley, about ten feet high, completely made of ice stones, and about hundreds of people carved runes on it.
This is an altar that is about to be completed.
Xuemeng is indeed very efficient in doing things.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Zhang Muping's return.
Xue Ling came out to greet him in person, stared at the coffin for a few seconds before asking: "How is the situation? Is it successful?"
"Although I encountered some minor trouble on the way, it didn't have any impact." Zhang Mu kissed the Pluto Coffin behind him and said, "The Snow King has brought it back."
Xue Ling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she couldn't be happy no matter how she looked. She raised her head, looked at the distance, the fields were covered with snow and ice rocks, and the whole world was powerless white, without vitality and without vitality.
"I hope everything will end soon."
Xue Ling was very worried.
This month may be the most cruel and painful period in the history of Snow League.
Zhang Mu looked at Xue Ling. This young snow mountain elf was carrying too many things too early, so he had nothing to say, so he could only comfort him symbolically: "Everything will end!"
Xue Ling looked back at Zhang Mu and said, "If you win, humans, what are your plans?"
Zhang Mu was silent for a few seconds, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "How can I know? Maybe I will stay for a while, maybe I will go to a more distant place, or maybe there will be a more harsh task... The human race will do whatever it takes to survive," he said.
Xue Ling lowered her eyes and stared at Zhang Mu's side face, suddenly feeling that the human race was also very pitiful.
Although he has the talent envied by all races, he also has an innate mission.
Where will this destined extraordinary race be in the future?
Zhang Mu felt Xue Ling's eyes and laughed, "Are the snow tribes as sentimental as you?"
Xue Ling snorted and turned her head.
Zhang Mu continued: "It is still unknown whether the Snow League can survive the difficulties!"
Xue Ling smiled bitterly and said, the war caused the Snow Alliance to be hurt too seriously. Whether it is population, resources, or dignity, only by completely defeating the Frost Troll in the last battle can we save everything we have lost.
Zhang Mu returned to the Dawn and asked someone to protect the Pluto's coffin.
The first time to learn about the situation of the altar was that the Snow League had a large number of people and the construction speed was very fast. In less than two days, most of the altar was built. Zhang Mu also discovered that nearly 200,000 people who were originally stationed here have now been reduced by half. Those who left were nothing more than looking for food or looking for corpses.
Lei Ming looked at the altar that was gradually built and couldn't help but feel much more at ease. "With the King of Snow and the Three Faces, plus a huge army of undead, we have enough confidence to fight against Glacier City!"
Zhang Mu was not easy, "The corpse is not difficult to find, and the Snow League is not as good as the Ice King. The Ice King is a person four hundred years ago. He doesn't know anything about what happened in the past four hundred years. However, the Snow League can clearly remember where wars broke out in the past four hundred years, and where battles have been experienced, and enough corpses are buried on the ground."
"Yes, this is our advantage, but it will also cause some trouble." Lei Ming said a little worriedly: "Because the snow league knows, Ice River City will definitely know. If the ice city finds out that the undead king is dead, then it will definitely think of the snow league's plan. In order to find us, the frost troll will definitely squat at the site. If we are found, we will be terrible."
Of course, Zhang Mu thought about this question, "It is time to add some precautions. We create a large number of reconnaissance insects scattered around, and there are also teams looking for corpses to conduct timely reconnaissance and preparation."
The reconnaissance insects can find lurking enemies, and the reconnaissance radius is very large.
Zhang Mu continued: "Apart from the eye of Binghe City, our biggest trouble is the problem of insufficient food. If more than 200,000 people have no food, they will not be able to survive for nearly a month."
"In order to deal with the food problem, Xuemeng has dispersed most of the people and has been sent to different places to hunt, hoping to relieve it."
What prey can the Desperate Ice Field catch? Everyone knows that people will starve to death during this period, which is an unchangeable fact. Zhang Mu cannot change anything. Even if he has the ability to do everything, he cannot create food for more than 200,000 people out of thin air.
Zhang Mu gave Lei Ming the martial arts book of [Ice Mirror Secret Technique], and then returned to the Dawn to rest. As a result, his butt was not firmly sitting. Suddenly, his mental moment suddenly became restless, and then the black stone tablet appeared in his mind.
The stone tablet appears again!
Zhang Mu was happy and immediately focused.
Every time the stone tablet appears, it is a surprise for Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu stared at the black stone tablet and began to observe the complex and profound symbols on it. Just like the last time, as the observation time increased, the runes on the black stone tablet seemed to come alive, like hundreds of tadpoles, swam out of the stone tablet crookedly, slowly filling the entire spiritual world.
There is no repetition of the inscription, which contains the power of the great way!
Zhang Mu kept staring at him.
Although I was dizzy, I still stared at it.
"chaos!"
"chaos!"
The strange consciousness spread out in the spiritual world again. The inscription disappeared in an instant, and finally three were left behind, deeply imprinted in the spiritual world. If you add the three inscriptions you obtained before, Zhang Mu now has mastered a total of 6 inscriptions.
“Tip: Spirit 10!”
The Chaos Monument disappeared into the spiritual world.
Zhang Mu has gained a lot, so he has no regrets. He pays special attention to the six inscriptions left in his mind. Each one is difficult to look directly at, but it contains mysterious power, which is very attractive. Zhang Mu feels that there seems to be some connection between the inscription and the inscription, but it cannot be expressed.
Zhang Mu couldn't guess what the Chaos Inscription is of use.
He just simulated the inscription directly and used the mysterious power of the inscription itself to interfere with the opponent!
It's like there is a gun but I don't know how to operate it, so I can only use it as a stick. The Chaos Inscription contains mysteries and cannot be described in words. If the secret of the inscription can be really solved and the power of the inscription will be released, it will definitely have the power of ghosts and gods!
Five days in a flash.
The construction of the altar has been completed long ago. The Snow League retrieved several batches of corpses. In less than a few days, the scale of the Undead Army increased by nearly 20,000, and a total of 35,000 undead warriors. If the current growth momentum is based on the current growth momentum, the Snow League will be enough to build a force to completely destroy the Ice River City within one month!
Day 6.
The food supply of Xuemeng was exhausted and it was difficult to continue to maintain the demand of ordinary soldiers, and some people began to go hungry.
Day 7.
Xuemeng’s food cannot keep up with the consumption, and more and more people are hungry.
Day 10.
The Snow League has really reached a situation where the ammunition and food are exhausted. Almost everyone is hungry. The meager food he gets from hunting every day is simply a drop in the bucket and cannot meet the demand at all.
Day twelve.
Everyone was generally weak and the strength to hunt was almost gone.
Day 15.
Finally, someone was starved to death, mainly because of weak constitutions, young and old. Without food and supplies, the people of Xuemeng became more and more impetuous.
Day 17.
When Zhang Mu woke up, he felt that his internal organs seemed to be pulled by a rope. The pain of thrusting and thrusting made him feel very uncomfortable. Not to mention ordinary warriors, it was difficult for Zhang Mu to hunt monsters in the wild. In places like the Desperate Icefield, especially the ice and snow ridges that are rare in living creatures, luck is particularly important if you want to catch prey.
I haven't eaten anything in four or five days.
You must find something to fill your stomach today.
Zhang Mu felt that the value of the experience slot was falling back, which was caused by not eating for too long. If this continues, it may become weak and even a drop in level. Over time, life will be in danger.
Walk out of the Dawn.
There was a depressing scene outside.
Everyone was unwilling to move, so they were all curled up in the temporary residence, each of which was weak and without any vitality. Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel worried. The current state of the Snow League, even if they lasted until the decisive battle with Glacier City, could these soldiers still fight?
The number of undead troops reached more than 70,000, but the number was not enough, far from enough. Undead people were transformed with corpses that had been dead for many years. These corpses died for too long. Even if they were transformed into undead, their combat capabilities were not strong and they could not compete with the army of the Frost Trolls.
"What happened!"
"What happened there!"
While Zhang Mu was walking in the snow, he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him, and there was a mess. Zhang Mu pulled out the ice river sword and ran over. A large group of people gathered around and talked, not knowing what he was saying.
Xue Ling and a group of people stood among the crowd.
Zhang Mu went over and asked, "What happened?"
Xue Ling said with a painful expression: "More than 200 people committed suicide collectively."
“What… suicide?”
Xueling sighed, "They left their last words, hoping to become undead after death and participate in the decisive battle with Glacier City!"
Zhang Mu was silent.
Since the Battle of Ice and Snow Pass, the entire Snow League has been shrouded in grief and depression. After hiding into the Ice and Snow Ridge, it has lost its home and no food. This depression and pessimism naturally spread even more severely. There are always some people who cannot bear it and do some extreme things.
Suicides are the best examples.
"This incident may be just a precedent!" Xue Ling frowned and said, "I'm worried that someone will imitate it, that's bad."
This is undoubtedly.
When you cannot see the hope of survival and are eager for revenge, many people from the Snow Alliance choose to commit suicide. Doing so can retain the greatest power to facilitate the war to directly join the battlefield. If you continue to drag on it, people will become weaker and weaker, and eventually starve to death. At that time, they are using rituals to transform into undead, and it is difficult to make much progress in strength.
It's a tough problem.
When Zhang Mu was thinking about a solution, Lei Ming suddenly sent a message.
"Mu, the situation is not good!"
"It seems that Glacier City has discovered us. An army gathered outside the ice and snow ridge, which may be coming for us!"
Zhang Mu was shocked. The morale of the Snow League was dispersed and could not gather combat power. He could not resist the army of Glacier City at all!
Chapter completed!
