Chapter Eighty-Six: Ice and Snow Pandora

Three times a year...... In this enchantment, it is limited to only three times a year?

As the snow drifted away, an ethereal voice came from afar: "The children of the Yeti clan can only grow up when it snows......

There is actually darkness hidden in this white world, Zhang Ning has a guess in his heart, but it still needs to be verified......

On the third day, Zhang Ning was led by the tour guide Xuefeng and visited the "scenic spots" of Xueyuan Village with great interest——

It is said that the huge sculpture was carved by Xudong Laoxian himself.

Zhang Ning looked closely, and the sculpture of Xudong Old Immortal was cut and carved from a huge block of ice, and although it was eroded by the strong wind, it was still undamaged. Although the old immortal of Xudong made the Yeti clan call him "Old Immortal", the face on the statue is very young and has no beard. Of course, the age of a monk cannot be determined by his appearance, perhaps because he was still a young man when he practiced, so he always maintained the appearance of a young man.

The statue of Xudong Old Immortal has nothing unusual except for its youthful appearance, extraordinarily large, and durable.

Zhang Ning looked at Xuefeng: "What does Xudong Old Immortal have for you?"

Xue Feng replied: "The first thing that the old immortal of Xudong asked the Yeti clan to learn to say was 'The old immortal of Xudong has boundless mana', and he also left a few artifacts to be kept by the patriarch. Not the rest. ”

Zhang Ning asked again: "In addition to Xudong Old Immortal and me, have there been other monks here?"

Yukikaze shook his head.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but ask again: "Haven't you ever looked behind the snow mountain?"

Xue Feng shook his head again and said calmly: "Behind the snow mountain is nothingness. ”

Zhang Ning asked, "Then where do you think I come from?"

Xuefeng said: "Xudong Old Immortal is a savior, an immortal, an immortal, you ...... It should be the servant of the old immortal, it should be from the heavenly realm. ”

Zhang Ning decided not to answer.

With his cultivation in his infancy, he can't leave in this enchantment, which shows that the realm of Xudong Old Immortal should be even higher. And the worldview instilled by the old immortal Xudong in the Yeti is very suspicious, since he has saved them, it can be said that this is a protected area? But the Yeti Clan can't leave, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they are imprisoned here.

He will continue to explore ways to leave.

A few days later, Zhang Ning inspected the "customs" of the Yeti tribe -

The Yeti make a living from farming, fishing, and hunting, and the main food crops they grow are foggy wheat, ice potatoes, and wheel millet, which are the smoky barley-like crops, ice-mounds, and wheel-shaped seed crops that Zhang Ning helped harvest before. In addition to these three, there is a traditional crop called flail wing, which is said to have only been slightly toxic before, but who knew that in this Xueyuan Village, after many plantings, the toxicity became more and more great, and it was simply discontinued. These crops have a long growth cycle and are easily eaten by ice moths, snow butterflies, cicadas and other spirit insects, so they need to invest a lot of manpower to engage in planting and insect hunting, but these spirit insects can also be used as a delicacy for the yeti tribe.

Their staple food is the kind of lumpy pastry they gave to Zhang Ning last time, called ice honey cream, which is a mixture of foggy wheat seeds, ice potato flour and corn husks. Those spirit beasts that resemble mortal poultry and livestock are the Rainbow Chicken, the Anointing Cow, and the Wisp Pig. The spirit birds and rainbow chickens emit rainbow light all over their bodies when they lay eggs, but their eggs are very fragile and will break when touched; the meat of the ointment cow is paste-like and has a delicate taste; the wisp pig is thin and slender, and it is extremely difficult to feed, and there is not much left in the village.

Pets are particularly rare here, there are only six snow wheel cats in the entire Snow Source Village, they look like young leopards with large and bright black eyes, golden pupils that rotate rapidly when hunting, and a single food, feeding on the feathers of snow sparrows. The snow wheel cat is supervised and fed by a special person, and only those snowmen who have been rewarded for meritorious service are eligible to pet for an hour.

In the entire Yeti Clan, only the patriarch wore his costume - the smoky scarf and the wriggling scarf. According to Xue Feng, the big scarf was woven from the hairs of the fierce spirit animal in the snow-capped mountains, the Ice Mist Pig, and the wriggling scarf was actually a live snow snake, with long, soft white hair attached to the body except for the abdomen. The patriarch informs the clan that the Yeti don't need to be dressed, and although this status-based costume looks imposing, it is actually uncomfortable, and it is only because of his responsibilities as the patriarch that he must wear it. Whether the patriarch himself believes it or not, the Yeti clansmen believe it anyway.

Then Zhang Ning spent five days carrying Xuefeng to conduct a comprehensive scientific research investigation of the surrounding environment of Xueyuan Village. Xue Feng showed an unusual interest in the fluorescent green mushroom that shook his head.

On the snow-capped mountains, there are scarce spiritual plants such as snow piano wood, cloud electric pine, and ice string flowers. The snow qin wood will produce the sound of the guqin when the wind passes, the cloud electric pine will emit a strong lightning light when the snow falls, and the ice string flower resembles the crystal clear ice lily of the valley, exuding the "aroma" of ice and snow......

It is said that there is a magical fire tree in the snow-capped mountains, and whenever there is a flame burning, it emits a deafening noise. But no one in the Yeti clan knew what fire was, and no one had ever seen this legendary sacred tree.

In the snow-capped mountains of the snow and pine forests, there are fat deer, cypress rabbits, and shell tart squirrels, as well as a rare number of snow-ridged finch, whose spines are all snowy, and because their backbones are too soft to fly, they can only jump on the ground. At the top of the food chain is the tiger, and at the next level is the fox. Here, you need to be wary of entering the territory of the tiger, and you should also pay special attention to the snow cave scorpion, a highly venomous predator with a large size, hiding in the snow mounds and waiting for an opportunity to hunt.

There was no snow ferret group here, and Zhang Ning guessed that the snow ferrets had also been sucked in with him during the previous vibration. But he has no interest in paying attention to the snow martens, so let them live outside this mysterious snow source village, and with their speed, the snowmen will be extremely difficult to catch.

There is a frozen lake of dozens of square kilometers in the col of a snow-capped mountain, in which there are ice snails, snow clams, ice finch fish, ice frogs and other ice creatures, the Yeti clan will dig on the ice at a specific time of the year - when the ice spirits swim to the shallow ice layer to breed - dig on the ice surface, and each time they harvest a lot, but if someone mistakenly digs up two kinds of poisonous ice poisonous fish, the poisonous tongue and the chaeldivide, all the snowmen who are working must flee for their lives. The poison-tongued dolphin uses its long whip-like tongue full of stingers to paralyze its prey and then devour it, while the horseteadimile squirts poison powder to cover the corroded prey and suck the juice.

......

After these days of investigation, the speculation in Zhang Ning's mind has been further confirmed. He was now certain that this was not a fragment of space-time connected by a space-time rift—the secret realms he had been to before were all completely different planes. Xueyuan Village and its surroundings are still the landform of Beichuan as a whole. Zhang Ning speculated that this should be a small piece of land in Beichuan, shrouded by an extremely powerful formation, and formed a "snow source outside the world".

It was like a separate ecosystem, completely different from what he had seen in Beichuan, as if it had been forcibly moved from somewhere else. Due to the very small number of species, the ecological environment is extremely fragile. Therefore, it can be inferred that all creatures in and around Xueyuan Village, including the Yeti clan, are alien species.

When it comes to the attitude of most people of the Yeti clan towards him, they are in awe, and fear is greater than respect. Only Xuesuo has a normal attitude towards him, and he is not shocked, and it is very likely that he is an insider—do you want to take some unconventional measures against Xuesuo?
