Crown Dead

"Three meters underground? Is it hard...?"

Cadoc froze for a moment.

——That means being frozen in the ground! ?

Chapter 01. Ancient Encounters of the Fourth Kind

Damn...!

"Bah! Bah!"

Accompanied by two gunshots, the Roaring Beast pounced on me was pierced through the chest and head, and the dark one spewed out from the gap, but it immediately turned into a hard block under the pouring of cold air.

There are only the last two bullets left in the magazine, but the number of roaring beasts that are forming an encirclement and approaching me is definitely more than five times the number of remaining bullets.

It's so weird, I was smug at first because I found howler beasts on the fringes of the hunting grounds, but the number of those things far exceeded my expectations.There is nothing that can be used as food, so why are there so many roaring beasts gathered here?

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The Roaring Beast that was facing me suddenly roared, which was used as a signal to produce a chain reaction. Countless Roaring Beasts roared together. This was not only a way of demonstration, but also a signal for them to start hunting.

It is meaningless to worry about why this group of things gathered in such a ghostly place. Now that I have appeared here, it means that the position between the hunter and the prey has been reversed.

"Have you been completely surrounded... If that's the case, then come—!"

This is a world of the jungle, as it has been in the past, and it will be the same in the future.The so-called living is nothing more than relying on one's own strength to deprive the weak of everything.

I want to live, no matter what.

"Bah!"

The bullet penetrated the lungs of the first Roaring Beast, and in the next hour, it would be slowly eroded by the cold air and finally stiffened to death.

Every shot can delay the roaring beast's encirclement, if the next bullet can kill another one, maybe it can escape from the encirclement "click"

"Well!?"

As if someone was deliberately joking with me, the moment the trigger was pulled was not the sound of gunpowder bursting from the rifling, but a dull jamming sound.

Although I know that no matter how much I check, the weapon will eventually go wrong, but why is it at this juncture!

I immediately grasped the barrel of the rifle with both hands, and swung it like a club against the head of the roaring beast.The dull sound of blows came along the body of the gun, but after all, the impact of the stick was more deterrent than the explosion and impact of the bullets.

Several other roaring beasts surrounded me, I let go of the spear in my hand, and took out the dagger pinned to my waist.

Even Yaga, whose physical ability is far superior to that of the "old species", would not have any advantage in fighting Roaring Beasts at close range, not to mention the situation where four or five Roaring Beasts attacked together.

There is no "end of life" among Yaga, most of the young Yaga will die of severe cold and hunger, the old Yaga will be abandoned by the village, and the young Yaga - most of them will die in accidents during hunting .

Is it my turn, but don't think that you can simply tear a piece of meat from me, even if you gather together to act, there will always be weaker stragglers, and my dagger will be stuck in that guy's throat .

I held the dagger tightly and took a stance, waiting for my final arrival.

Born into this world knowing nothing, dying meaninglessly in the wilderness.If this kind of life is what the world should have in the first place... Then this kind of world, this kind of world where the strong slaughter the weak and natural disasters slaughter everything, simply "Huh?!"

Before I had time to swing the dagger in my hand, the originally extremely hard snow ground under my feet suddenly shook for some reason.Not only that, but a crack appeared on the white ground. I don't know if it was luck or bad luck. I happened to be standing on that crack.

"Wow!"

Whether it was a dagger or a rifle, they were all thrown out. Although I tried to grab something, it was in vain. I could only let my body continue to bump into the cracks on both sides of the crack.

Hush, boom, boom!

There was a dull sound from the back, and it felt like the internal organs were almost spit out from the mouth because of the impact.But at least this pain can also tell the brain that it is not dead yet.

"The ground will crack... I haven't heard of such a thing before. But it's not particularly surprising."

After all, this world has been designed to exterminate all creatures from the very beginning, and no matter what happens, the existence of bastards should be taken for granted.

Leaning on the solid ice protruding from my side, I got up slowly, and after confirming that I didn't seem to be able to die for a while, I observed the surrounding environment.

The surrounding area is surrounded by frozen walls with extremely low visibility, and above the head is a crack about five meters high.The perennial howling blizzard could not erode this underground world, but the ears got the long-lost peace.

The distance of five meters does not seem too high, but it is obviously not enough to climb up by manpower. The surrounding ice walls are not even considered as footholds, not to mention that there are no tools at hand.

From being torn apart by the roaring beast to starving to death in this natural tombstone... For a while, I couldn't tell which way to die was more unlucky.

Since this will be his own grave, at least choose a slightly better place to die.

With this kind of mentality, I wandered in the underground crack. Unexpectedly, the space inside this crack was unexpectedly larger than I imagined.Not only that, but there seemed to be something hidden in this crack.

My eyes, which had already adapted to the darkness, noticed the extremely faint light. Because I had no other choice, I started to move towards the light along the gap. After I barely squeezed through a gap, the space suddenly became much wider. The light that comes has also become closer at hand.

Looking at the pale blue light, I finally saw "that thing" behind the ice wall - an old species frozen in the wall.

That guy should look like a "male", and there is no fluff all over his body. The light blue fluorescence is coming from the stone hanging around the other's neck.

Why is there an old species that is almost extinct frozen here?Why is that stone glowing?

"Crack-"

While I was shocked by the picture I saw in front of me, the ice wall that had been frozen for more than 400 years in front of me broke apart.

The old species shackled by the glacier came out of the fragments, and it was only then that I noticed that the old species in front of me still had life.

"Well!"
