Chapter 19: 19
Mark stood in the ice cave, his hands emitting a faint blue light, which was a testament to his newfound power. Under Karl's guidance, he was making progress every day, mastering this power better every day. However, there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
Karl stood opposite Mark, and there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes. "Mark, you have done well, but we must continue to work hard. The power is strong in its control, not in its release."
Mark nodded, he took a deep breath, and concentrated again. He felt the power flowing through his body like a warm torrent. He guided the power to his hands and then slowly released it. A weak beam of energy shot out from his palm and hit the wall of the ice cave, leaving a deeper mark.
"Good, Mark." Karl's voice echoed in the ice cave, "Now, let's try some more complicated techniques."
Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the ice cave. Karl and Mark quickly exchanged a vigilant look. Carl quickly extinguished the torches in the ice cave, and they fell into darkness.
"Carl, what's that sound?" Mark's voice was a little nervous.
"I don't know, but we have to be careful." Carl's voice was low and powerful, "Maybe the people from the Rebirth Organization have discovered us."
A fear surged in Mark's heart. He knew the power of the Rebirth Organization. He held the survival knife in his hand tightly, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Mark and Carl held their breath. They could hear footsteps wandering outside the ice cave. Suddenly, a strong light shone into the ice cave, and someone was peeking inside with a flashlight.
"Carl, Mark, we know you are here." A voice came from outside the ice cave, with a hint of coldness in the voice, "You have nowhere to escape."
Carl and Mark looked at each other, and they knew that they had to leave here immediately. Carl quickly packed some necessities, and they quietly moved deeper into the ice cave, hoping to find a way out.
However, just as they were about to reach the end of the ice cave, a deafening roar sounded, and the entire ice cave began to shake. Mark and Carl were shaken to the ground, and they felt a strong force pushing them back.
"No, the ice cave is going to collapse!" Carl shouted.
They turned and ran out, and the ice cave collapsed behind them, and ice and snow fell from their heads. Mark and Carl shuttled through the ice cave, avoiding the falling debris.
Finally, they rushed out of the ice cave and returned to the ice field. Mark panted and stopped on the ice field. His hands kept shaking, and his heart was full of fear. He knew that they had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the people of the Rebirth Organization would find them.
Carl quickly observed the surrounding environment and pointed to an iceberg in the distance. "Let's go there, there may be a hiding place there."
Mark nodded, and they began to run on the ice field. The wind and snow hit their faces like a knife, but they didn't dare to stop. They knew that they had to reach the iceberg as soon as possible, otherwise they would have nowhere to escape.
However, just as they were about to reach the iceberg, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared in front of them. These shadows were wearing black cloaks, with cold masks on their faces and strange weapons in their hands.
"Mark, Carl, you can't escape." A voice came from the shadows, with a hint of pride in the voice.
Mark and Carl stopped, they knew that they had been surrounded by the people of the Rebirth Organization. Carl quickly pulled Mark behind him, and he was ready to fight.
"Carl, we can't fight here." There was a hint of anxiety in Mark's voice, "We have to find a chance to escape."
Carl nodded, he knew Mark was right. They must find a chance to escape from here.
At this moment, the people of the Rebirth Organization began to approach them. Carl and Mark watched them nervously, ready to escape at any time.
However, at this moment, the iceberg suddenly made a low roar, and the entire iceberg began to shake. Mark, Carl and the people of the Rebirth Organization were shaken to the ground.
"What's going on?" There was a hint of panic in Mark's voice.
"I don't know, but we must escape now." There was a hint of determination in Carl's voice.
They began to run on the ice field, trying to escape from here. However, as they were running, the iceberg suddenly broke apart, and a huge black shadow rushed out of the iceberg and rushed towards them.
Mark and Carl stopped, and they looked at the huge black shadow in horror. The black shadow had huge wings, its body was covered with thick scales, and its eyes flashed red.
"What kind of monster is this?" Mark's voice was filled with fear.
"I don't know, but it must have been done by the people of the Rebirth Organization." Carl's voice was filled with anger.
The monster let out a deafening roar and pounced on them. Mark and Carl quickly dodged to the side and barely avoided the monster's attack.
"We must find a way to deal with this monster." Carl's voice was filled with anxiety.
"I can try my strength." Mark's voice was filled with determination.
Carl nodded, he knew that they had to act quickly. Mark concentrated, he directed the power to his hands, and then pushed forward with force. A dazzling beam of energy shot out from his palm and hit the monster's body.
The monster let out a painful roar and was knocked back a few steps. However, it quickly regained its balance, with a fiercer light flashing in its eyes.
"We have to find its weakness." Carl said calmly.
Mark and Carl stared at the monster nervously, ready to attack at any time.
