Chapter 443 Snowfield
The big sacrifice ended with the carnival of everyone.
After this joint sacrifice, Xicheng had a total of more than 900 new soldiers, and none of the reserve soldiers died because of a failed awakening. This is very rare.
The most important piece of good news is that the White Tortoise Witch has become a great witch, which makes Xicheng have two great witches at once, greatly increasing their strength.
The weather became colder after the ceremony.
Winter has officially arrived.
After heavy snowfall, Xicheng was submerged by white snow.
Row upon row of stone house roofs, unfinished city walls, gray-black stone brick floors, green grasslands… are all covered with a thick and soft snow blanket, which looks beautiful and quiet.
A thick layer of ice formed on the surface of Xinghu Lake, and the fish and star algae sank into the warmer bottom of the lake, and their movements became much slower.
The outside world has also become silver-clad.
It has not yet reached the coldest month of the winter, so there are still many animals in the forest moving in the snow, such as squirrels, wild foxes, snow rabbits, bighorn deer…etc.
Therefore, hunting teams often wear thick animal skins, ride on beasts, and hunt together in the cold forest on days when the snow is not heavy.
Of course, the number of prey is definitely not comparable to before.
But cold weather also has its advantages.
At least you don’t have to worry about preserving food anymore. Unfinished prey is buried in the thick snow, and you can dig it out after a few days if you want to eat it. You don’t have to work hard to make dried meat.
…
One month later.
In the wind and snow.
A dozen miles away from Xicheng.
Cangwu, who was covered in icy blue sharks, looked as pale as snow, walked weakly in the snow for a few steps, and lowered his head to support the trunk of a giant tree covered with snow and frost.
A ten-centimeter-long blood mouth was broken in her belly, and bright red blood continuously flowed out of the horrible wound like spring water, quickly staining the snow under her feet.
But there was no pain on her face, and she didn’t even cover the wound. She just frowned slightly, looking a bit distressed.
“Now I have to rest for a while…”
She lowered her long eyelashes, and took out the thin, blood-stained brown branch from her arms.
This branch looked ordinary, but it kept making a crisp buzzing sound in the wind and snow, like a wind chime. It sounded quite pleasing and very magical.
Cang Wu was injured this time because of it.
During this period of time, she and the horrend team have been looking for the source stone outside.
On the way, she accidentally heard that there was a huge wind-sounding tree growing on the high mountains in the distance. This tree is very magical. When the wind blows over the treetops of this huge tree, its branches will make a very pleasant sound. , Like spring water dingdong, silver bird spreading throat, everyone who is fortunate to hear is intoxicated and lost.
She became interested in the wind-sound tree, so she immediately threw down the shark team and her mount, looking for the wind-sound tree very casually.
The sound of the wind sound tree would instinctively fear the weak insects, but it was particularly attractive to the powerful insects. The wind sound tree found by Cangwu was unfortunately occupied by a nest of fierce giant sand bugs.
Cang Wu fought fiercely with them.
Although the mackerel tribe is a top inhuman race, it is not the most powerful species on this wild land, and the mackerel tribe’s home game is the deep sea, and its strength will be greatly reduced when it comes ashore.
This giant sand bug has a fierce temperament, and each of them is no less powerful than the top king-species fierce beast. The most terrible thing is that they hear too much sound of the wind tree and are immune to the singing of the sharks.
So Cang Wu hung the color this time, but in the end, she killed the group of giant sand bugs and successfully broke down a wind noise branch.
But at this moment, she was holding this wind-sounding branch that was so hard to get, and listening to the sound it made, she was only disappointed: “…You haven’t made the sound of the flute as pleasant as it sounds.”
After all, she threw the wind-sounding tree branch into the snow without hesitation.
Because of excessive blood loss, her eyes turned black.
After a pause, she lightly jumped onto the big tree beside her, brushed off the snow from the branches, and lay down on her back.
In fact, she could use the unique method of the Shark to call the Shark, but she did not do so, just letting herself sink into the darkness and completely fainted.
at the same time.
Ye Xi and the Aphid were riding on more than a dozen brown bears, galloping in the snowy forest.
These brown bears are huge in size, with thick fur, squirting white air in their noses, running fast in the thick snow, and not afraid of the cold at all.
In a pine forest, the team stopped.
The Aphid jumped off the bear’s back and walked under the pine trees under the snow with one foot and one foot shallowly. He carefully took out the white jade aphids from his arms and handed them to the trunk.
The white jade aphids swiftly climbed up the branches along the tree trunks, their tiny feet picked up the pine needles, and gnawed up, looking extremely satisfied, and the black bean eyes narrowed.
Ebony was very excited to see this: “The babies love it!”
The face of an iron-blooded tough guy showed the tenderness and comfort of a motherly kind in an extremely contradictory manner.
“Hehehe!”
“Hey…”
The dozen or so people around him all grinned silly and looked content.
There are only two kinds of trees in Xicheng, mulberry and insect willow. The mulberry is Azhi’s ration and cannot be moved.
Not to mention the insect willows. The Aphid people never bring aphids near, and basically see them walking around. Every time they go out of the city, they are cautious and walk out of the specially left openings, for fear of insects willow branches. Baby aphids are swept away.
The Aphid people are not willing to eat the stale leaves, so they always bring them out for food even in wind and snow.
“Crack, click!”
Huanshi eaten by white jade aphids.
However, since the end of the great migration, the aphid’s squeamishness has risen again. After eating the tenderest pine needles on the pine tree, they stopped eating, and quickly crawled back to the Aphid.
The group of aphid slaves, the Eyphi people, were not angry at all when they saw such “doing” aphids. They showed a petting look on their faces. They happily carried them, rubbing their frozen red hands with the white mist, and walking on the snow. Trekking in, looking for more tender pine needles.
“Aw–!”
The stupid brown bear grabbed Ye Xi’s clothes, shook his big ass, and pulled him toward Fenglin.
Ye Xi looked at it and raised her eyebrows: “Want to eat honey? It’s too cold to cut honey now.”
In winter, the bees will shrink in the hive, huddle together to warm each other, and survive the cold winter by relying on the warmth of the hive. If the hive is destroyed at this time, the bees that have nowhere to spend the winter will freeze to death, and the honey will be reduced in the coming year.
This stupid melon didn’t know if he didn’t understand, he still persisted in tugging at the corner of Ye Xi’s clothes, gurgling coquettish sounds in his throat, and drooling in the corners of his mouth.
“This fool…”
Ye Xi looked at his sleeves wet with saliva, his face was full of black lines, and he read the mantra that the owner of the dumb melon, Tudou, often said.
Of course honey is impossible.
Ye Xi decided to hunt some other prey to relieve the big idiot.
He took off the longbow on his back, took out a giant bone arrow weighing a pound from the quiver, bent the bow and set the arrow, aiming at a winged goshawk in the sky.
The bowstring is gradually drawn into the shape of a full moon, the thumb is pulled, and the index finger is gently lifting the tail of the arrow.
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow whizzed forward, like a black light shooting towards the goshawk.
However, this fierce arrow shot empty.
“It’s been a long time since I shot an arrow…”
Ye Xi shook his head and took an arrow down from the quiver and set the arrow on the string.
The second bone arrow pierced the air and whizzed towards the goshawk, which directly penetrated the goshawk’s chest.
However, this goshawk has strong vitality and flew slantingly for a while before it fell from the sky with a weak whisper.
The place where the goshawk fell was some distance away, and Ye Xi took the dumb melon and a few brown bears to the deep forest to get prey.
The dumb melon was very happy when he had something to eat, and grabbed the giant goshawk corpse with a few brown bears, shaking his head for a while.
The snow was covered with bright red blood beads and fragments of feathers.
“Roar!”
The dumb melon gnawed off the goshawk’s claws, and an excited bear roar rolled across his throat.
Ye Xi dug out his ears and was about to say something. Not far away, there was a cracking sound of a branch breaking, followed by two bangs.
