Chapter 500 - One More Sidekick
It was said that Cruise was an orphan who had no parents. He came out to fight for himself at a very young age.
Therefore, he had a strong will and was quite experienced.
Looking at the river with ice debris floating in front of them, both of them were a little scared.
The entire river was very big, and there was no place to borrow strength from.
Not to mention boats or bridges, there wasn"t even a piece of driftwood.
And in the middle of the river, there was indeed an extremely exquisite Black Lotus Flower.
It emitted seven-colored rays of light, and its pistils were also multicolored. At a glance, one could tell that it was definitely not a common object.
This should be the legendary Black Lotus Flower.
The medicinal value of the Black Lotus Flower was very high. Other than being a raw material for the Immortal Divine Medicine, there are many other functional drugs that can be made.
Many people on the black market had offered high prices for the plant.
That was why a lot of people risk their lives to get it.
Klein touched his chin and lowered his head, trying to figure out how to get to the other side and get the lotus.
Young Cruise, on the other hand, was getting restless.
He didn"t believe that a glacier could have such a low temperature.
He even grew a finger and placed it in the water to test the temperature.
Klein didn"t have time to prevent the tragedy from happening before he heard a scream.
The teenager yelped as he was thrown out and fell to the ground with a thud.
He held his finger tightly and kept rolling around with a pained expression.
Klein sighed. He was still too young. Could he not be so rash and impetuous?
He grabbed the youth"s shoulder and ordered in a deep voice, "Stop rolling around. Give me your hand. I"ll take a look at the situation!"
Thankfully, only one of his fingers was injured. Cruise"s entire body wasn"t frozen.
However, his finger was already badly mangled, as though it had been severely frostbitten.
It turned out that the moment his finger entered the glacier"s water, it had been frozen solid.
The youth yanked out a layer of skin from his finger. Even Klein felt his heart ache when he saw it,
Helpless, he could only search his medical bag and think of a way to bandage the youth, Cruise.
Klein had mastered some healing-type spells. He placed his hand on Cruise"s finger, which could act as an anesthetic and temporarily alleviate the pain.
Cruise, whose face had turned pale from the pain and sweat on his forehead, finally calmed down a little.
He kept gasping for air. It was too terrifying. The water of the glacier wasn"t something that ordinary people could come into contact with.
Just a small amount of contact would cause a layer of flesh to peel off.
If he were to enter the water, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Klein sighed softly. "You should know how those people were frozen. Be careful in the future and don"t be so reckless!"
However, what made the two of them feel strange was that since they had already been frozen into ice after jumping into the river. Why were they thrown back into their original s.p.a.ce?
Could it be that there was a force in the glacier that would regularly clean up the trash that had sunk into the river?
After the process was completed, the youth"s embarra.s.sed expression due to the pain finally eased up,
He struggled to stand up from the ground, his face filled with embarra.s.sment,
Previously, he had vowed to risk his life with Klein, but he never expected to reveal his weak side. He felt a little guilty.
At that moment, Klein had placed all his attention on the glacier river.
He took out something that looked like a stone from his backpack and threw it into the river.
Without even hearing a thump, the moment it touched the surface of the river, it turned into ice shards.
One could even see the ice shards floating on the surface of the river, constantly rising and falling.
Upon seeing this, Cruise was already beginning to retreat.
His previously confident expression finally disappeared.
Cruise thought for a moment and said, "Klein, if there"s no other way, let"s go back. Although the Black Lotus Flower is extremely valuable, there"s no need to sacrifice our life here for this worldly possession!"
Klein reached out to touch his chin. He had different thoughts from Cruise. Since he was here, there was no reason to return empty-handed.
The Black Lotus Flower wasn"t the most important thing. If he couldn"t conquer the river in front of him, Klein felt unhappy.
Previously, Klein had wanted to use a special spell to leap over.
However, after a few attempts, he realized that the river seemed to have a powerful force.
Just like Earth"s powerful attraction, even birds couldn"t fly over the river.
If he didn"t walk over with his feet on the ground, he would probably be pulled into the river by the powerful attraction.
The consequences would be unimaginable. He could only think of a way to cross the river.
Cruise seemed to be thinking of a way for Klein as well.
"What if I use a boat?"
Klein shook his head quietly. No matter what the boat was made of, as long as it drifted above the river, it would immediately freeze and be unable to move.
As for a boat that had been frozen into ice, its ma.s.s would suddenly increase and it would immediately sink to the bottom. That would be the outcome of the boat being destroyed and people dying.
And many such solutions were rejected by Klein.
The situation was in a stalemate.
At that moment, Klein suddenly saw some withered gra.s.s growing around the glacier world.
It was likely that there were only signs of life left in this world.
Although the gra.s.s had withered completely and there was a layer of frost on it, it was still very firm and coiled in a corner.
Klein"s heart stirred as he suddenly thought of a bold idea.
"You can still hold on, right? If there aren"t any major problems, help me gather some of that withered gra.s.s!"
Cruise blinked, not knowing what Klein was up to.
"Why do I need to gather withered gra.s.s?"
But looking at Klein"s deliberately mystifying expression, it was likely that he really had some shocking method.
Cruise endured the intense pain and gathered a lot of withered gra.s.s, all piled up in front of Klein.
At this moment, Klein had already pulled out a few ropes from his backpack and connected them together.
These ropes were originally used for rock climbing, but he didn"t expect them to come in handy at this moment.
Cruise looked at Klein and asked, "Klein, what are you trying to do? What use can these ropes and withered gra.s.s have?"
Klein stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Cruise.
"You don"t know that, right? These two things can be combined to create a magical pontoon!"
Cruise"s worldview was about to shatter. He felt that Klein was always able to come up with unexpected methods.
With a face full of doubt, Cruise finally experienced Klein"s divine-level operations.
First, Klein discovered that there were a few pillars on both sides of the river that had been deeply inserted into the ground. After shaking them, they were considered relatively st.u.r.dy,
He flew the rope in his hand and wound it around a few of the pillars on the opposite side. Then, he added the binding on this side of the rope.
Because the rope was tied together, the embryonic form of a floating bridge that floated in midair appeared in front of Cruise!
