Chapter 997 Ice Queen 7
"Just wait and see, maybe it will sprout later," Brian said.
Eric frowned, nodded, and could only continue to wait.
I don't know how long it took to wait.
The flower seedlings of Cheng Weicai, Brian and Ed gradually broke out of the ground and spread out their tender cotyledons, but Eric's flower seeds remained silent.
"It doesn't make sense." Eric became impatient, "We all planted the seeds together. It doesn't make sense that you all sprouted, but mine didn't sprout..."
As he spoke, he stopped slowly, as if he thought of something, and his face gradually turned pale.
Brian frowned and asked, "What? Have you thought of the reason?"
"I...I don't know if it has something to do with that..." Eric looked dazed, "When you went out to look for supplies, I stayed here alone because it was too cold and my hands were frozen. , I don’t know if the flower seeds have fallen off, and when I found it, I don’t know how long it has been... maybe the seeds were frostbitten, which affected their germination?"
"Will seeds be frostbitten?" Ed raised an eyebrow, "I seem to have seen some news about low-temperature storage and the like..."
"Ordinary seeds cannot germinate in just a few hours." Brian reminded him, "We are in a game, and our seeds are not seeds in the ordinary sense."
After a pause, he continued: "And...even if the seeds are not frozen, Eric may have stepped on them while looking for them."
Eric's face turned even paler. He stared blankly at the dirt in the lid of the cup, and the memories of the search kept flashing through his mind...
The seeds were too small, and he couldn't find them in time after they fell to the ground. He shivered and felt unbearable from the cold. Later he found them, and he was still looking for them. How long did this process take? Did you step on it accidentally? Did you touch it properly when you planted it? Are the seeds sure they are full? No cracks?
...It seems too late to think about this now.
We have to face the fact before us, that is, his seed, only his seed! No germination!
The air dropped suddenly.
The flames in the brazier also trembled.
Everyone looked in the same direction, where a woman in a white robe seemed to appear out of thin air and was watching them silently.
The fox fur collar hugged her jade-like face, the hem of her skirt reflected the shimmering light as she walked, and the cold aura that could not be ignored lingered around everyone unconsciously.
They subconsciously held their breath and kept their voices low as they watched the woman walk step by step——
The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at Eric.
Eric froze immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the woman raised her cane, and a burst of ice-cold air swept towards Eric! Eric's eyes widened, and a layer of white frost formed on his whole body at a speed visible to the naked eye! Then came the broken ice! The sudden increase in ice and snow! Until it turns into a humanoid ice sculpture!
With another wave of the cane, Eric's body fell down, slid into the circular pool in the middle of the hall, splashed with waves, and then sank to the bottom of the sea...
Everything is calm.
The remaining three did not speak, only the panic on their faces showed all their emotions.
The woman didn't speak either.
She looked at the buds that had just sprouted in their hands with a thoughtful expression. She looked at them quietly for a long, long time... She said: "I will come back in 6 hours."
Then, he turned around and left...
Like snow, there is no movement when it comes and no sound when it leaves.
But the changes in the surrounding temperature made the survivors understand that she had left.
Ed sat down as if exhausted, holding the flower seedlings in his hands with all his strength, "It's another 6 hours... In 6 hours, if we can't save the flower seedlings, will we... be like Eric and be frozen to death..."
Now, it is no longer time to think about seizing the sword. If they are not careful, they may only have 6 hours left...
