It felt like a thousand years.
But it also felt like a blink of an eye.
In the darkness of the abyss, Aisha walked forward aimlessly. There was no thought in her mind. She was like a walking corpse. Until a burning sensation burned her whole body. She felt a burning pain. Her mind was numb. Suddenly, a bit of consciousness appeared in her numb mind.
In the silent darkness of the ice cave, Aisha's eyelashes trembled slightly. She slowly woke up. She gently opened her eyes and saw the darkness. Her consciousness followed the source of the burning pain. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her abdomen. She was very familiar with this burning feeling. It was hunger. The acid in her stomach seemed to be tumbling, stirring the stomach wall violently. At the same time, her body felt like it was being swallowed by her abdomen.
She felt that if she continued, her stomach would digest all the internal organs in her abdomen. She struggled to support herself. Suddenly, her palm touched a cluster of cold and sharp things. She couldn't help but turn her head to look. Suddenly, her pupils shrank.
She saw a black-haired figure lying on the ice block in her hand. It was the previous Dean. At this moment, the latter's body was shrouded with a cold air. There was a faint layer of thin ice on his armor. The place she touched before was Dean's hair. The soft black hair had long been frozen as hard as steel needles.
"I'm not dead?" Aisha was startled, and the memory before the coma instantly flooded into her brain. Her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly reached out to support Dean. As soon as she touched him, her fingertips instinctively retracted, as if she was bitten by a poisonous snake. There was a kind of tingling feeling, which surprised her a little. Even ice cubes couldn't make her feel so cold.
Could it be that Dean's body temperature was lower than ice?
Although she didn't have any education, years of fighting in various environments made her understand that if the water temperature was lower than ice, it would freeze. That was to say, the blood in Dean's body had frozen!
If the blood was frozen, could a person still live?
Thinking of this, her face was a little pale. She hurriedly reached out to touch Dean's carotid artery. This was the place that could best reflect the state of suspended animation. However, Dean's carotid artery did not beat!
Dead?
Her hands trembled slightly as she stared at the youth in a daze. Very quickly, the cold air that invaded her caused her to return to her senses. She couldn't help but raise her head to look around and was immediately stunned. This place was actually a sealed barrier made of ice.
She was surprised and even a bit at a loss. In her mind, even the coldest day of the black snow season wouldn't condense so much ice. Black snow couldn't be kneaded into ice. Only the Monastery's cultivators could borrow the power of nature to fight with ice, fire, wind and thunder. The shape of the ice barrier had strong traces of manual production. It was obvious that it was built by Dean.
Could it be that he was a monk from a monastery?
She stared blankly for a while. Suddenly, she saw a seven to eight-meter-long heat source in the darkness in front of her. It looked like it was swimming in the air. Her gaze immediately fell on the frozen water in front of her. In an instant, she immediately understood what had happened before she fainted. She also knew why there was a sealed barrier made of ice here.
All of this was to prevent the smell of her blood from spreading!
She turned her head to look at the frozen Dean next to her. Her expression was a bit complicated, and she slightly clenched her fingers.
Crack!
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound in the silence.
Aisha was shocked. Her first reaction was to look at the frozen water, but soon she saw that there was no monster attacking under the water. At this time, the cracking sound rang again. She suddenly turned back and looked at the source of the sound — Dean's left shoulder.
She was slightly startled and quickly pulled off the shoulder pad on Dean's left shoulder. Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and her eyes revealed a bit of horror.
Dean's left hand was completely frozen. Unlike the transparent ice, it was pure white. In this snow-white arm, she could see blue lines, which were the meridians and blood vessels in Dean's arm!
The cracking sound came from Dean's arm. The cold condensed and slowly grew into ice-like spikes, which were caused by the spikes poking into the shoulder pad.
"Ice, Freezing Disease!" Aisha took a light breath. She was a little shocked. She didn't expect Dean to suffer from this terrible and incurable disease. Moreover, it was a legendary taboo disease.
"With Freezing Disease, he is more sensitive to temperature changes. He is most afraid of cold. For ordinary people, the temperature drops by one or two degrees, but for him, it is as cold as dropping by twenty degrees." Aisha's lips trembled slightly, and a trace of mist gushed out of her eyes. She slightly covered her mouth, and there was an impulse to cry. She could resist the temperature inside the barrier made of ice, but for Dean, even if his physique was doubled, he still couldn't resist it. Nevertheless, the boy still chose this most disadvantageous method to fight for a glimmer of life for her!
"Why, why did you try so hard to save me …" Aisha's eyes were a little wet, and she only felt a pain in her chest. Another person who was close to her was implicated by her. Even if there was no mischief in the middle, the ending was still like this. Why?!
She clenched her legs and clenched her teeth.
After a long, long time.
The sadness in her heart gradually faded, and then she thought of the injuries on her body. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she suddenly felt a trace of fatigue and sadness. No matter how great the sadness was, it seemed that it would eventually pass, be forgotten, or be endured.
Then continue to live.
The torn wounds healed day after day in endurance, until they were forgotten.
This seemed to be the innate talent of life.
Tenacious, cruel.
She silently reached out and touched her back. She felt that the wound was cold, and it seemed to have healed.
She looked at the ice bed beneath her and suddenly understood. In this low temperature, the poison in her body had permeated more slowly. During this slow permeation, her body's immune system had gradually adapted and improved while resisting for a long time. That was why she had been able to wake up.
The role of this ice barrier was not simply to block the smell of her blood, but to inhibit the spread of the toxin in her body. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone! However, it was not easy to think of such a method. Even if he thought of it, it may not be implemented in such a desolate world outside the giant wall. She didn't need to think to know that Dean must have painstakingly spent a lot of energy to do this.
