Zhang Heng witnessed the death of the seahorse with his own eyes. The tough guy that fought him for more than a quarter of an hour finally died in front of him in a muddled manner.
Of course, considering the seahorse's physical condition, it was not surprising that he died in such a manner. After the seahorse died, Zhang Heng immediately took out a kerosene lamp from his backpack.
[Name: Explorer's Light]
[Grade: C]
[Function: A kerosene lamp that never goes out, the ultimate equipment that all explorers dream of. Not only can it provide you with light, whether you are on land or underwater, but it can also help you control the surrounding temperature. By adjusting the Explorer's Light's brightness, you can adjust the ambient temperature within the light's range.]
This Grade-C game item was one of the rewards Zhang Heng obtained from the Chernobyl quest. He did not expect it to come in handy at this time.
This seemingly ordinary kerosene lamp had a rather magical effect. Within the range of the light's illumination, it could ensure a constant temperature. Zhang Heng had relied on the heat emitted by this lamp in his backpack to withstand the cold air above his head. When he took out the lamp, the temperature around him instantly warmed up, and the chill from before had completely disappeared.
After that, Zhang Heng adjusted the kerosene lamp and adjusted the surrounding water temperature to 40 degrees, which was also the temperature inside the human body.
Zhang Heng felt like he was soaking in a hot bathtub, and the scene in front of him was amazing. The terrifying chill was still freezing the pool water, and the ice layer was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the temperature of the area illuminated by the Explorer's Light was maintained at 40 degrees, and it could not be frozen. At the same time, the ice layer at the edge of the pool was rapidly melting and disintegrating.
…
Beside the pool, although the players on the second front line still did not like the young man wearing the Beats headphones, they surprisingly did not attack him like they did before.
In fact, after the Ghost of Arctic spoke, most of the players present fell silent. Even the players on the second front line could not help but have some strange thoughts in their minds.
Although everyone had expected this battle to be tough before it started, losing so many players in such a short period of time still exceeded their expectations.
Especially when a master like the Ghost Twins could not even stop Zhang Heng for a few minutes. This made everyone more aware of the terrifying combat power of the top player.
Although Seahorse was not ranked as high as the Ghost Twins, he was recognized as invincible in the water. If even he could not defeat Zhang Heng, what should they do next?
The Ghost of Arctic's question struck a chord in everyone's hearts. Even the players at the second line of defense began to ponder whether it was worth it to sacrifice Seahorse to kill Zhang Heng once and for all.
In reality, many players had already agreed with the Spirit of Frost's words. However, Seahorse was a member of the Three Great Guilds' second frontline. Only, as the players on the second frontline fell silent, nobody stepped forward to stop the Spirit of Frost from freezing the entire pool.
When the Ghost of Arctic saw this, he smiled and did not say anything. He simply put on the headphones again, and the players on the shore saw the chill spreading at an alarming speed. Although they could not see the bottom of the pool, they could tell just how terrifying the chill was just by looking at the slowly freezing waterfall.
Previously, some players thought that the Ghost of Arctic meant to freeze the pool's surface. Now, however, they realized that the Ghost of Arctic meant to freeze the pool's water into a block of ice.
In just a short moment, the layer of ice was thick enough for an overloaded truck to pass through normally. However, the Ghost of Arctic did not stop there. After a while, everyone suddenly felt a tremor beneath their feet.
Someone was knocking on the ice, trying to escape!
Thinking of Zhang Heng's terrifying combat power, everyone's nerves immediately tensed up, and they raised their weapons one after another. Only the Arctic Ghost, who was squatting by the pool, remained calm. Seeing that someone was aiming at it, it waved its hand. "Don't be nervous. The people down there can't come out."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that. However, there were a few people on the second front line who wanted to say something. Some of them thought of the possibility that the seahorse was trying to break through the ice, but before they could ask the question, they swallowed it back down.
Since they had tacitly agreed to the Ghost of Arctic's attack, they naturally knew what to do in the face of such an uncertain possibility.
Fortunately, the tremor did not last for too long. The bottom of the pool returned to normal, and this time, it seemed to be a permanent calm.
The Ghost of Arctic crouched by the pool for another two minutes before it stood up and clapped its hands. "Alright! The matter has been resolved. Everyone can go home now. "
The man wearing sunglasses frowned slightly when he heard the Ghost of Arctic's words. "Are you sure he's dead?"
"Of course," the Ghost of Arctic said with certainty. "I have frozen the entire pool. The person below has no way to escape. If you don't believe me, you can try to break the ice and see if you can dig out his body. But don't say I didn't warn you. It's going to take a lot of work."
The man wearing sunglasses breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the Ghost of Arctic's words. However, he immediately made a phone call and said, "I need explosives. A lot of explosives. Enough to blow up a pool. Hurry up."
After the man wearing sunglasses put down the phone, he did not immediately disband the team as instructed by the Ghost of Arctic. Instead, he divided the players into three teams. Each team would stay for eight hours, and they would take turns to stare at the frozen pool.
His excessive caution caused some people to complain. After all, there was nothing in this deep mountain. There was no electricity, no signal, and it was not a pleasant thing to stay here. However, most people still agreed with the man wearing sunglasses' decision.
After all, the person they were dealing with this time was Simon. Perhaps only when they saw Simon's body would they believe that Simon was really killed.
To the man wearing sunglasses' surprise, the Ghost of Arctic did not leave. Instead, it chose to camp in this deep mountain with them. At first, the man wearing sunglasses thought that the Ghost of Arctic was worried that the ice blasting would cause an accident. He did not expect the Ghost of Arctic to be interested in the game items on Zhang Heng.
