Chapter 11


     Chai Yong and the others walked in front.

Li Chengyan took care of Fang Ziyue, letting her walk in the middle while he walked at the back. Even so, Fang Ziyue still felt her hair stand on end. The ice sculptures on both sides of the road were so lifelike that she felt like they could come to life at any time.

The NPC said that the ice sculpture garden contained the snow woman's secret, so Chai Yong asked them to carefully examine each ice sculpture. There was a high possibility that the secret was hidden in the ice sculptures.

But no matter how Fang Ziyue looked at the ice sculptures, she felt that they were terrifying, especially the human-shaped ice sculptures. The pair of eyes looked real. They were clearly just ice sculptures, but the more she looked at them, the scarier she felt.

Fortunately, Fang Ziyue heard the sound of hammering behind her, which made her feel that the ice sculpture garden wasn't as quiet as it seemed. The ice sculptures in front of her were just man-made works of art. They could be easily broken with a hammer.

For the first time, Fang Ziyue felt that Lin Xinghe, who she thought was crazy, was useful. At least he made her feel less scared. She even understood why Tang Xin wanted to follow Lin Xinghe.

It was obviously a horror movie atmosphere, but Lin Xinghe had the ability to turn it into a comedy.

Fang Ziyue quietly turned her head to look.

Tang Xin was still talking and laughing with Lin Xinghe.

Lin Xinghe had a smile on his face, but his hand mercilessly cut off half of an ice sculpture's head. "Clang!" It fell onto the stone pavement.

Fang Ziyue couldn't help but feel envious of such an atmosphere. But once her fear was diluted, she wasn't as scared anymore. She began to carefully examine the ice sculpture in front of her.

It was a little girl, about three or four years old. She had two braids, a dress, and small leather shoes.

Probably because her fear was diluted, Fang Ziyue couldn't help but touch the little girl's ice sculpture.

With this touch, Fang Ziyue saw with her own eyes that the ice sculpture's lips curled up slightly.

She shrieked in fright.

Chai Yong turned around and scolded, "You only know how to scream all day. Women are so troublesome. You're scared of such a small thing." When Chai Yong saw the little girl in front of Fang Ziyue, he sneered, "A little girl's ice sculpture can make you scream? Is she going to eat you or do you? "

Fang Ziyue stammered, "She, she, she smiled."

Li Chengyan said, "You're just being paranoid. There's no such thing."

In order to encourage Fang Ziyue, Li Chengyan reached out and patted the little girl's face. Then, he clenched his fist and touched her lips. "Look, nothing happened, Brother Chai. Girls are all like this. Let's continue to look for clues. Clues are important."

Chai Yong glared at Fang Ziyue before turning back to continue searching for clues.

Fang Ziyue was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She tugged at Li Chengyan's sleeve and said, "I … I really saw her smile. Her lips curled up just now."

"It's just your imagination."

"No, it's true. I … I really saw her …"

Li Chengyan interrupted her and said, "Okay, stop talking. If you keep talking, Brother Chai will be unhappy. Let's hurry up and find the snow woman's secret. Kill her and let's get out."

Fang Ziyue had no choice but to agree.

However, after this small episode, Fang Ziyue didn't dare to look at the ice sculptures anymore. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground.

They had been in the ice sculpture garden for more than half an hour. Chai Yong had seen at least 20 ice sculptures of various sizes. The NPC said that the ice sculpture garden wasn't big. There were only 30 to 40 ice sculptures in total.

However, Chai Yong still didn't find anything even after looking at more than half of the ice sculptures.

The ice sculptures in the garden were no different from normal ice sculptures.

There weren't many ice sculptures left in the ice sculpture garden. After turning a corner, they would see the end of the road. However, they still didn't have a clue, especially since they didn't have a way out. They were looking for clues in front of them, while Lin Xinghe was knocking the ice sculptures behind them.

Chai Yong was a bit impatient. He turned around and saw Fang Ziyue cowering in the same spot. She didn't do anything. He immediately got angry.

"Didn't I tell you to …"

However, before he could finish, he heard Fang Ziyue scream again.

"You f * cking only know how to scream. What else can you do besides screaming?"

Fang Ziyue suddenly looked up and said in a panic, "No, no, I really saw the ice sculpture move. It … it just moved. It was clearly standing here before. It moved a step. It really moved a step …"

"Shut up! B * tch, you only know how to drag us down! How can an ice sculpture move? You've watched too many horror movies. If it could move, I'd twist my head off and let you kick it like a football. It … "

Before he could finish, Chai Yong saw Li Chengyan looking behind him with a panicked expression and said, "Brother Chai, it … it moved."

Chai Yong was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Both of you are stupid teammates. Why would it move? I'm going to knock its head off right now …"

Chai Yong suddenly felt a cold sensation on his fingertips. He looked down and saw the ice sculpture dog, which was seven or eight steps away from him, was now right in front of him. It even opened its mouth, revealed its sharp teeth, and bit his hand.

There was a crisp sound.

Blood flowed.

Chai Yong's wrist was bitten off. Bright red blood splattered all over the ground.

The ice sculpture dog's mouth, nose, and eyes were all red with blood. Like clockwork, it pounced on Chai Yong.

At the small book pavilion.

Chai Yong had some experience. He endured the pain, rolled on the ground, and dodged the ice sculpture dog's attack. However, before he could stabilize his body, he felt a chill behind him. The ice sculpture holding a sword revealed a sinister smile. The sword in its hand fell and stabbed straight at his right shoulder.

Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan were scared out of their wits. They wanted to run away in a panic.

However, the ice sculptures around them all surrounded them at this moment, blocking their escape route.

Lin Xinghe and Tang Xin, who were hammering the ice sculptures, saw this scene and stopped what they were doing.

Tang Xin asked, "Why aren't they attacking us?"

Lin Xinghe said, "Because we haven't been marked …" She quickly looked behind her. All the ice sculptures that she and Tang Xin had destroyed were moving. However, probably because of the damage, their movements were extremely slow. They were like a bunch of old and weak soldiers. They didn't attack the two of them. Instead, they all rushed toward Chai Yong and the others.

Fang Ziyue was the first to notice that the ice sculptures weren't attacking Lin Xinghe and the others. He immediately thought of what Lin Xinghe said this morning. He asked them if they smelled anything strange.

Fang Ziyue didn't care about anything else. He shouted, "Lin Xinghe, please save me. As long as you save me, I'll tell you all the clues I know."

Lin Xinghe asked, "What clues?"

Fang Ziyue immediately told him everything that the NPC told them this morning.

Lin Xinghe had a thoughtful look on his face.

Tang Xin asked in a low voice, "Should … should we save them?"

Lin Xinghe said, "Yes. My teacher said that I have to be kind and stop doing evil. Only by helping others can I show my repentance and sincerity."

She took out a waterproof liquefied flamethrower from her bag.

Tang Xin was dumbfounded. "There's such a thing in the supermarket?"

Lin Xinghe said, "Yes. It's an outdoor appliance. It's a type of outdoor cooking utensils. However, the one I bought is an upgraded version. It's hotter and closer to an industrial product. Just hold the handle, pull it open, and press …"

A half-meter long flame immediately spewed out.

The ice sculptures in front of them gradually melted.

Lin Xinghe also gave Tang Xin one. She said to Tang Xin, "Go find some flammable dry branches nearby. Leave this to me." As she spoke, she lifted her flamethrower and walked toward Chai Yong and the others.

The flames burned fiercely.

Lin Xinghe's entire body was illuminated by the flames. Her sweet and delicate face curled up into a smile. She looked very excited.

[Ice sculptures, run! The demon king is coming to kill you!]

[She's coming! She's coming! She's coming with flames all over her body!]

[Ice sculptures in front, be careful. You're all alone!]

[Am I the only one who's curious about Lin Xinghe's past villainous setting? Not only is she a European queen, but she's also a black-bellied one. Even now, I think she has a sickly attribute.]

[I feel sorry for Lin Xinghe. She's the main character in the novel. They must have been brutally abused.]

Lin Xinghe confirmed that her guess was correct.

Although the ice sculptures were alive, their physical attributes made them afraid of fire. The ice sculptures that were circling around Chai Yong, Li Chengyan, and Fang Ziyue just a moment ago all moved away from Lin Xinghe when she came over.

They seemed to want to get closer to Chai Yong and the others, but they were afraid of the fire in Lin Xinghe's hands. They were like blind flies, circling around in place.

Lin Xinghe said to Fang Ziyue and Li Chengyan, "Come over here. Pour all the alcohol in my bag over to them. I want to burn all these ice sculptures with fire."

At this moment, Tang Xin came back with a pile of dry branches.

Lin Xinghe said, "You came back just in time. Light the fire."

Tang Xin did as she was told.

As soon as the flames touched the alcohol, a chemical reaction immediately took place. Flames rose from the ground and surrounded all the ice sculptures. As soon as the flames touched them, they began to burn one by one. The ice sculptures gradually melted in the raging fire.

Lin Xinghe licked her lips and smiled brightly.

"The entanglement of ice and fire is so beautiful. Look at how beautiful they look when they melt. It's like a work of art."

Fang Ziyue looked at Lin Xinghe in a different light.

… This is the scariest demon!
