Chapter Seventy-Six: Popsicles

The howl of the wolf spread through the ice field, seeping into the bones.

When all the Kochi heard the wolf howl, they looked surprised. Because they had lived in the ice field for so many years, the wolf cubs only dared to bark beside them, and almost never offended them.

"Grandpa, won't the wolves attack us? Gu Fan listened to the wolf howls, thinking that there should be many members of this wolf pack, but this group of Kochi people didn't react at all, so they asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's normal to run into a wolf, don't care. Zhao Zhuo said in a flat tone.

"Grandpa, we've been wandering around the outer circle of this ice cave for a long time, and today may be in vain. Wei Qianyi looked at the empty vast snowfield and said worriedly.

"Well, one of the three elements of successful hunting is luck, if you don't go far and don't touch your prey, even a skilled hunter can't use his fists and feet. "

The howl of the wolf gradually subsided, and the surroundings returned to their former calm.

Zhao Zhuo looked around at the rest of the team, and saw that everyone was almost rested, so he beckoned the team to continue marching.

The sled team shuttles through the vast snowfield like a long dragon.

They spent the afternoon wandering the rest of the hunt, but found nothing.

Zhaozhuo stared at the old sun, and turned his sleigh back towards the ice cave.

All this was expected by him, because he still did not see the snow eagle.

Gu Fan watched them return in vain, and couldn't help but sit on the sleigh and sighed.

"Grandpa, apart from the fact that there is a snow eagle in the sky means that there is prey around, is there anything else that can be observed?" Today's sleigh trip, the careful Wei Qianyi always looked at the sky with hope, but the sky was always so calm.

"And the Icewolf, these guys have a very smart nose and are also good guides for us. "

"Hey, didn't that grandpa hear a wolf howl today, so why haven't we touched a bird for a day?" Gu Fanteng stood up and said.

"And what do you say we are?"

"We... Are we also prey in their eyes?!" Wei Qianyi said thoughtfully.

"Not bad. Zhaozhuo smiled, this girl is really thinner than the kid.

"What are you playing! They still dare to covet our lives? Grandpa, didn't you say that the Kochi people are very strong in combat? Give them a stick to single out the big bear, and this wild wolf still dares to care about us?" Gu Fan said with wide eyes, and his tone did not take the wolves in his eyes at all.

"That's true. It's just that this ice wolf was originally a short snow wolf, and then it became the current ice wolf after bloodline mutation, and its size and intelligence are not comparable to the past. "

"Could it be that there are strange beasts here? If that's the case, wouldn't it be too dangerous, and this tribe doesn't have the protection of the city's high walls, so it's too dangerous for them to come and go freely?" Wei Qianyi said in surprise. She thought that this remote place was a pure land, but she didn't expect that she could not escape the rampant virus.

"It's okay, although the Kochi people have not activated the bloodline, but he also has the bonus of his own bloodline, and they have a lot of hunting experience, so those wolf cubs dare not take offense easily. Zhaozhuo said soothingly. In all his years here, he had never seen a wolf who dared to attack the Kochis. Maybe it's the only one who dares to attack them, right?

Meng Fei, who was in the ice cave, heard the noise of the clansmen inside, and ran out of the cave with his men excitedly to greet their warriors, scanning their sleds with anticipation and eager eyes, but after sweeping around, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Didn't touch the prey. Zhaozhuo looked at Meng Fei and the disappointed eyes of the people and said. This hunter who can't complain about going out to hunt, everyone has bad luck.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be a few days. Meng Fei said with a wry smile. Perhaps, he will pass by empty-handed tomorrow, if he is aggressive now, how will he explain tomorrow?

Everyone returned to the ice cave to rest, tonight's snowy night was not as lively as yesterday's, it was very quiet, perhaps because of the frustration of the hunt, they had no intention of chatting.

In the evening, after dinner, everyone lay down in their sleeping bags, and occasionally a few faint whispers came out, and the only thing left in the ice cave was snoring.

Gu Fan and the others didn't say anything all night, they all lay in their sleeping bags in a daze, their eyes were a little stunned and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Time passed like quicksand in the dreamland, and when Gu Fan opened his eyes, there were half fewer people in the ice cave, and Meng Fei and the others left very early, an hour earlier than they were yesterday.

And Zhaozhuo beside him didn't know where to go, leaving only an empty sleeping bag. Seeing that Wei Qianyi was still asleep, Gu Fan got out of the sleeping bag lightly and went to the luggage to take two pieces of palm-sized dried venison.

One piece was placed next to Wei Qianyi, and one piece was chewed by himself.

This dried venison chews like beef jerky, and the aroma of the meat stimulates the taste buds, and it is a simple taste.

"Ahh At this time, Wei Qianyi stretched her waist, yawned lazily, rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up.

"Lazy cat. Gu Fan looked at Wei Qianyijiao's face and said with a smile.

"Cut, it's okay today, why are you up so early. Wei Qianyi sat up, looked around and found that Grandpa Zhaozhuo's sleeping bag was empty, and he couldn't see his figure when he looked around. "Where's Grandpa Zhaozhuo?"

"I don't know. Giving, eating something. Gu Fan handed the piece of dried venison to Wei Qianyi.

The two of them had breakfast together, and the dried venison in their hands had just been eaten. Zhao Zhuo's strong voice came from outside the cave along the ice wall, you know, there is still a distance from the entrance of the cave, and it can be said that the strength in Zhao Zhuo's body is not trivial.

"You two are not up, come out quickly. "

Gu Fan and the two looked at each other and hurriedly trotted out.

When I arrived outside the entrance of the cave, I saw two thumb-thick popsicles stuck into the snow and stood in front of Zhaozhuo, who was standing with his chest crossed.

"Grandpa, what is this?" Gu Fan asked puzzled as he looked at the gray-bearded old man in front of him. What kind of tricks are you playing?

"From today onwards, you will be practicing sticks with popsicles every day. Zhao Zhuo said loudly. This popsicle can become so straight, it is Zhao Zhuo grinding it with his hands for a long time, he rubbed the popsicle with his hands to heat it up and gradually melt it to its current appearance.

"What?" Gu Fan shouted in surprise at the same time. Both of them were thinking in their hearts at the moment, did they hear me right? Practicing with popsicles? Freezing off their hands before they finished practicing, right?

"Time is short, there's no time to talk nonsense. With that, Zhaozhuo pulled the popsicle out of the snow and threw it at the two of them.

The two hurriedly took the popsicle, and as soon as the popsicle was started, the cold as bone marrow went down their palms and into their bodies.

"Grandpa, how are you practicing?" Gu Fan threw the popsicle one after another, and the popsicle at the moment was as difficult to hold as the hot potato.

"Spinning stick flowers. With that, Zhao Zhuo walked towards the cave with his hands behind his back.

"How long will it take?" Wei Qianyi shouted. It had only been a short time since she got started, and she was already feeling a little numb in her hands.

"Go to Hua!"
