To my frozen hometown

Chapter 25 Using the name of the god of beauty to describe a beast is disrespectful

For the "monsters" on the ice sheet, ordinary firearms are almost useless.If you want them to be injured or discouraged, you must use heavy weapons to focus fire.

And the current mercenary team obviously has no possibility of possessing heavy weapons.

All were in an incredible trance and fear.

In the face of the barbarism of nature, human beings can only feel their own insignificance and powerlessness.

"I can't die," said the only female employee in the car.

In a panic, she made an unwise decision to abandon the car and run away.

She immediately jumped off the stopped snowmobile and ran towards the other direction of the canyon, thinking that the snowmobile would attract the attention of the giant worm.Too bad she forgot that snow worms don't have eyesight, so are better at sensing things that move.

The next moment, the worm that covered the sky and the sun was already moving through the snow.

The canyon shook, and gravel fell from the cliff.The huge body of the worm did not slow down its movement, but instead made it cross a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, appearing above the female employer.

"Silk······"

A puddle of sticky liquid dripped onto the face of the female employee.

She stopped little by little, and finally raised her hand to touch her face, then raised her head in a daze.

At this time, half of her face had been dissolved by the mucus, and the blood-red muscle tissue was exposed, looking terrifying and disgusting.

On her head, a mouthpart full of sharp teeth snapped off and swallowed her into it in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

The loud sound made people's eardrums tremble.

The snow worm submerged into the snow again, and walked up and down, its huge body and mouthparts appearing and disappearing in the snow.

And everyone in the car just watched it bite the body of the female employer bit by bit.A severed arm fell on the snow covered with blood, and the fingers were still twitching, causing everyone's hearts to sink to the bottom of the valley.

In the cabin of the snowmobile, De Rosso's face was pale. He had never seen such a scene before. He wanted to scream, but his fear prevented him from even screaming.His hands and feet were weak, and he had no strength, so he could only sit motionless in his seat, unable to do anything.

He thought that he would not be afraid of death, but now he realized that it was only because death was not really approaching.

People are afraid, when they really face the fear.

The snow worms were still wriggling and crawling around the snowmobile, and the flesh and blood of a hired worker obviously couldn't fully satisfy it.

The captain of the employer finally regained some sense.

"Calm down, keep breathing, don't move, slow down your heart rate."

He stood in the car and whispered to the people around him.

He remembered something about snow worms.

If this "monster" snow worm is still a snow worm, then they may be able to use these characteristics to save their lives.

For starters, snow worms don't have eyesight. They sense their way through the vibrations and heat of snow, which allows them to avoid danger and also allows them to find fresh animal droppings for nourishment.

Most of the time, of course, they bury themselves deep in the ground, motionless, and grow by filtering microbes from the snow.And use this infinitely close to dormancy method to reduce energy consumption.

So in theory, as long as they are buried in the ground long enough, they can grow infinitely.It's just that after a year of growth, their growth rate will become extremely slow, which makes it almost impossible for anyone to see snow worms over two meters in length.

The "monster" in front of me may have a lifespan of 100 years.

Closer to home, the employers and De Rosso are staying in the car at this time, the heat cannot be transmitted to the snow, and the tracks of the snowmobile have stopped.Without the vibration, the snow worms would not be able to sense their exact location.

Now it only needs to wait until the engine is completely cooled down, and the snow worms will completely lose their perception of them.

That way, it might go away on its own.

The car fell silent, no one said a word, and no one made another movement.

While the hirers crouched or stood motionless on their snowmobiles, De Rosso sat immobile.

"Si, Si..."

The snow worm really seemed to have lost its direction. It walked through the snow, feeling the temperature in the snow, which had gradually ceased to be felt.

Unfortunately, the body of this worm is too large after all.

In the not-so-open canyon, its body finally touched the snowmobile.

"Silk!"

The head without eyes suddenly turned around, facing the direction of the snowmobile.

But at this time, it has not yet determined whether it is a rock or something else.

Its head slowly approached the snowmobile.

The people in the car held their breath, not daring to make any movements.

The balance of life and death seems to be upside down repeatedly during this period of silence.

"Ah." Finally, an employee couldn't hold back anymore, screamed and let out a gasp.

So the next moment, the snow worm's sharp mouthparts opened suddenly.

"Silk!"

It chirped and stood erect, as if it might jump straight at the snowmobile at any moment.

The employers in the shadows turned pale, because they all knew that they couldn't escape.

But at this time, a voice suddenly came from the canyon.

"Hey, you look very troublesome, do you want to help?"

The sound echoed in the canyon, causing a slight vibration, and the attention of the snow worms and the hirers was attracted to it for a while.

I saw a figure standing there, standing on the canyon more than 20 meters high, with his back to the sun, waving towards them.

Is it a passing traveler?

Employers think so.

Then they discovered that there seemed to be a short figure standing beside that figure, who looked like a child.

Can't leave, can't involve them, this is the last thought of the employer captain.

So the next moment, he fired a shot at the huge snow worm and shouted loudly.

"We have a 'monster' here, run!"

In his opinion, this may be the last thing he can do.

The bullet penetrated the snow worm's skin, but couldn't penetrate its muscle, so that it couldn't do any effective damage to it at all, but completely enraged the monster.

"Silk!" the worm screamed, and its huge body soared into the sky.

Looking at the sun that was completely blocked in front of him, the captain of the hirer gave a wry smile, and reloaded a bullet into the rifle.

Is this the end?

He sighed, but in the next moment, he saw a figure land on the snow worm's head.

"Monster"?

Liu Yuan stood above the snow worm, and pulled out his short knife from his waist.

She hadn't seen such a creature for a long time.

Huge individuals over 15 meters are very rare in the east and west of the ice sheet.

Because in order to ensure the safety of the living environment, human beings once launched an ethnic war called "scavenger".

Humans have used almost all available power to expel most of the "monsters" from the main living areas of people, that is, the east and west of the ice sheet.

So today, most of the giant creatures live in the north and south of the ice sheet.

Liu Yuan had participated in this war before.

Therefore, she is familiar with the hunting methods of most "monsters", and also knows which parts of their bodies are more delicious.

Snow worms, just like their food chain level, are also the weakest individuals among the "monsters", and they often become the prey of other "monsters".

The only tricky thing is that their acidic fluids are extremely corrosive, and it's best not to be sprayed on them if you can.

There is nothing delicious about him.

So, worthless.

Thinking like this, Liuyuan raised the dagger in his hand, and the moment the snow worm was about to pounce on the hired team, he stabbed the dagger into its muscle.

When the knife fell, there was almost no resistance. Although the short knife was broken, any "war" it had experienced could not be compared with the bug in front of it.

The radius of the snow worm's body is only [-] meters, and a [-]-centimeter short knife piercing it can already make it feel obvious pain.

"Silk!" The huge worm hissed and rolled over on the snow in the canyon.

That huge body turned up the snow, rolling it all over the sky.

In the white snow mist, Liu Yuan stood firmly on the front neck of the snow worm.Twirling the dagger in his hand, he used the pain to control the direction of the snow worm's movement, making it temporarily stay away from the snowmobile of the mercenary team.

The body of the worm hit the rock wall of the canyon, and the huge force made the canyon tremble.

Fortunately, there is no snow on the vertical rock wall, otherwise a huge avalanche will definitely be triggered.

How long has it been since I have experienced such a battle?

As Liu Yuan thought about it, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Let me reminisce, the feeling of the past.

But what exactly does she want to recollect, is it the cruel battle, or the belief in the battle.

Liu Yuan didn't know, and she didn't think about it carefully. She just took out the revolver in her bosom, pressed it on Snow Worm's forehead, and pulled the trigger without any scruples.

"boom!!"

The deafening gunshot woke up De Rosso on the snowmobile.

He looked at the snow and fog in front of the car, hissing, shaking, gravel, everything was so chaotic.

He thought he was going to die.

Until, he saw that "Venus" again.
