It was the third day in the woods, and at five o'clock in the morning, Jacques took over from Alyssia, and half of the sky to the south had been dyed red by the morning glow, and the sun had not yet jumped above the ground.

Jacques sat by the campfire in the makeshift camp, flipping the broth with wild onions and mushrooms with a large spoon, and about to smell the aroma of the broth, Fabian twitched his nose and sucked back the shiny saliva that flowed out.

Emma flips her small body again, and Jacques knows that she is not asleep, and sleeping in the wild is an ordeal for a person like Emma who is a relatively light sleeper.

However, the conditions will be worse tonight!

After discussing last night, the team decided to go above the snow line today, and hunted in the middle for two consecutive days, even with Fat Tangerine's long-range perception ability, the whole team only found two spirit plants, and did not find any strange beasts. At this efficiency, the top 10 is hopeless, and now there are three options to choose from:

The first is to continue to hunt in the mid-mist area, and if you're lucky, you can encounter high-value spirit plants and exotic beasts.

The second is to wander back to the low zone and intercept the other teams returning with a full load.

The third is to venture above the snow line, where there are fewer teams and more exotic beasts and spirit plants, but they are more dangerous and the environment is harsher.

Jacques offered to climb the snow area, and everyone agreed to it.

Jacques, who was bored at night, took out a map and studied the route by the light of the fire and the morning glow of the morning sun.

The Starlov Mountains are more than 800 miles long, most of them are covered by forests, and there are no forests in the area close to the snow line, and the trees cannot survive on the ground covered with snow all year round, so there are still some mosses and plants on the ground near the snow area, and there are no plants in the snow area, only some lichens. However, the animals and plants that share the source energy are scarce, and this area produces more spirit plants, and at the same time, the activities of alien beasts are more frequent, including many alien beasts with strong sculptor strength.

Jacques planned to walk east for ten days near the snow line to reach the Purim Pass, and descend the pass to find a supply station.

At seven o'clock in the morning, everyone woke up one after another, packed their bags, sorted out their equipment, and set off with confidence.

A group of people walked on the slope full of rocks and withered yellow hay, two or three miles away on the right slope is a crystal white, snow that does not melt for ten thousand years, and under the slope on the left, less than five miles away is a perennial cloud-covered forest.

In mid-September, the southern port of Mousse is still warm, but it is already the end of autumn, and the first snow will arrive in less than a month, and the area beneath their feet will be covered with heavy snow again. If you want to find spiritual plants that are often between the rocks, this is a rare window of time.

Under the guidance of Fat Orange, the Minority Alliance succeeded one after another, and harvested three spirit plant primroses in one morning, and it was indeed correct to choose to come to the Snow Line Area.

In the next two days, they harvested more, and the spirit plant bag that Emma was in charge of had been stuffed with more than a dozen spirit plants of various kinds, and the team also walked nearly 100 miles eastward. The only difficulty is at night, the wind is strong and the temperature is low on the unsheltered mountain, it is difficult to find a sheltered campsite, and Emma, who is not well rested, is getting worse and worse.

At noon on the fifth day of the march to the Pulin Pass, the group was lucky enough to find a cave, the entrance of the cave was not large, but there was a flat and dry area of dozens of square meters in the cave, and there was no sign of wild animal activity.

Jacques decided to use the cave as a base and rest for two days before moving forward, so that he could explore the area covered with snow all year round.

In the afternoon, Emma rests, Alyssa and Jacques guard, Fabian and Natasha go out hunting.

As the setting sun shone into the cave, Fabian and Natasha returned with a hunted rock sheep, and brought back the good news that there were traces of the rock sheep more than two miles to the east.

There is a high chance that some exotic animals will appear in the large herbivore community, and staying here for a few days may have a greater harvest.

There are no fire supernaturals in the team, and this shortcoming is revealed when you need to make a fire to cook. There was a lack of materials to light the fire on the snow line, and the small amount of wood that had been prepared was certainly not enough to roast the sheep.

Jacques took Alixia's axe, summoned his horse, and ran down the hill to the woods a few miles away in search of dead branches, while the others gathered the rock sheep and waited for Jacques to come back and make a fire to roast them.

When he arrived in the forest, the sun had already set, Jacques found a dead tree, cut it down by two, and then cut down some suitable branches and tied them to the horse, feeling that it was not enough, Jacques walked next to the dead tree and prepared to cut some more.

There was a rustle from the trees behind him, Jacques watched vigilantly, and the whistling sound suddenly approached, and from the crown of the pine tree more than ten meters high, a gray-white beast swooped down, with pointed ears, short tail, thick limbs, thick hair, and a body size similar to that of a war horse.

Luckily, its target turned out to be a war horse transformed by source energy!

The horse turned to avoid it, and although it didn't let the lynx ride on it, it was also grabbed by the claws.

So something happened to the lynx, and the milky white horse, unscathed, was only slightly dimmed if anything.

Taking advantage of the fact that the lynx was confused and did not dare to approach the horse, Jacques ran to the horse, turned over to the horse, and rode the horse up the mountain.

When it was dark, against a strange beast of unknown strength, Jacques did not dare to take risks. I came out to cut wood without a fat orange, I have already made a mistake, and now I just need to run away.

The lynx was good at ambushes, and the pursuit was really not good, because he hesitated to miss the opportunity, Jacques had already ridden his horse and ran away, and after chasing a few steps, the lynx stopped and disappeared into the forest with a roar.

Jacques looked back at the lynx, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the dead branches on the horse's back, though not many, at least useful.

Back in the cave, everyone learns that Jacques has been attacked, and they are glad that the lynx attacked the war horse first, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

The firewood for roasting the whole lamb was not enough, but the roast of lamb chops and lamb skewers was enough, so Fabian continued to be on guard, and the others were busy for dinner.

......

When the lynx attacked Jacques, another group was traveling a short distance down the hill, looking for a suitable place to spend the night.

A roar of a fierce beast came from the mountain, and the six of them immediately became nervous, grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle.

The team leader was a tall ponytail girl, judging the direction of the beast's roar, and said softly: "On the mountain, it may be a bobcat, the voice is loud, it should be a strange beast." We went and collected it!"

Seeing that everyone else agreed, the ponytail girl quickly assigned the task, and several people quietly went to the mountain.

Soon they discovered the location of Jacques' logging, and one of them, after examining the traces, said: "One man, one horse, was attacked by a lynx, but it seemed to be fine, and ran towards the snowline area of the mountain." Eldest sister, do you want to go and see it?"

The eldest sister was puzzled: "There are horses, where are the horses? I haven't heard that horses are allowed." It could be a hunter, if it was a hunter, ask what materials you can exchange with him, Ciel, it's up to you to negotiate the price. ”

"No problem, I have a family background in this area. The boy named Hill replied.

"Go, follow the horseshoe prints!" said the eldest sister.

Following the horseshoe prints, the six of them soon walked out of the wooded area, and soon saw a bonfire lit on the hillside in the distance.
