170. Frost flowers
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
Holding Chenggong pitted two bags of jerky, and walked towards the destination she was going to go, chewing on the jerky in her mouth.
The little tiger cub who got the fruit followed behind the broken one like a little bodyguard, although this bodyguard is a little unhappy now, but he still has to endure it for the sake of water.
Yes, the purpose of strolling out is very simple, in addition to coming out to exercise, I also want to go to the east to find out what suitable food and water there is.
Water is a nuisance in winter. Except for a few warm holes that do not freeze and have clean water sources, other exposed rivers and lakes will be covered with a layer of ice so thick that there are no friends, and even Ermao's psychedelic pool can't escape the terrible temperature in winter.
When the first winter wind blows, the temperature of this world will begin to drop at a rate that the flesh can sense, and this winter wind will last for a day. At the end of the day, you will notice that the trunks of the trees, which were still green, are slowly turning white, and drinking water is the biggest problem in winter.
When a winter wind passes, most of the water surface will produce something called frost flowers, which are formed under special conditions, and only the temperature on the surface of the water is lower than the temperature below the water. Frost flowers also need a special trigger for them to form, and that is a poisonous organism from the bottom of the water. These creatures are invisible to the naked eye, and they will gather in large numbers in the frost flowers, which contribute to the formation of the frost flowers. The creatures usually sleep under rivers and lakes, and only emerge from the surface at night in winter to start their own revelry.
Whenever you see frost flowers in the section of the river, basically the water in it is undrinkable, because when they wake up, they will unconsciously emit toxins, which will make the beasts lose their way after drinking water, and even more seriously, they will lose their sight. The only fortunate thing is that the creatures in the frost flower are harsh on the living environment, so the frost flower creatures are regional, have a fixed range of activities, and will not spread.
This means that if traces of frost are found in the middle reaches of a river, it is possible that suitable drinking water will be available upstream. Of course, the worst possibility is not ruled out, that is, there are frost flowers upstream, but they haven't had time to bloom yet, and you can't see them.
If you want to drink water, you can either search the rivers or find the caves below that the warm frost flowers can't reach. The former is very difficult, because the frost flowers only appear at night, which means that the beast will not only have to resist temperatures that are more than ten degrees lower than during the day, but also may face hail and heavy snow.
And the latter is not easy, but compared to the dangerous night search, the water source of the underground warm cave is not only free of frost flower creatures, but also clean. If you're lucky enough to find a hot spring, you can take a beautiful bath without worrying about polluting the water, and you can enjoy one of the few wonderful times in winter.
Now all the warm holes that are found by everyone can't go to pieces, because she can't squeeze in, so she usually sleeps directly in winter, but this time she doesn't have the mood to sleep. Because she left her familiar nest, without a familiar breath, she couldn't sleep peacefully, so she wouldn't fall asleep anytime soon.
"Do you know where there are underground caves?" "Unfamiliarity is trouble, and now it's so troublesome to find some water to drink, what to do in winter?"
Shatter actually thought about going back to find Hum, but Hum told her that if she was accidentally thrown somewhere, she would stay there quietly and wait for him to come to her, and don't run around. Even if it's close to his house, don't move it!
As for why, let's talk about her natural paradoxical luck. Just like Murphy's Law, bad things always happen. She fell into here in a daze, and then she was chased and killed in a daze, and she was finally picked up by Hum and lived a comfortable life, and now she fell here in a daze. She thought, if she falls here and can't find it, then how sad she is!
Is it bad to cook salted fish?
Why refuse to make salted fish?
Why take the initiative to break the life of salted fish?
It's not stupid to be broken, no matter what the purpose of humming is to take her in and teach her, she still feels those true feelings.
If you spend a long time with something, it will be difficult to leave them because they will become a part of your life.
Although the presence of humming is not necessary for her like air, it is also a habit. It's like if you sleep with a quilt on your sleeve every day, but one day the quilt is gone, and you will feel strange and uncomfortable.
But this discomfort is a little less important before the great difficulty of survival. Anyway, she is also a wandering beast, and she also has a wealth of knowledge of survival in the wild, right?
Hey, that's just now that there's a problem.
I don't know if the blessed land of Ermao is still growing, or if this blessed land that came from east to west is not quite conventional.
According to common sense, there should be no warm holes in the central area of Ermao's blessed land. But there are indeed these well-known large warm holes.
Hell yes!
Other than a few, she couldn't find a brand new warm hole here that could be used.
Winter hasn't arrived yet, and she's not short of water yet, but it's not a few days away.
As for the problem that Shatter is worrying about, the little tiger cub is also at a loss, if it is in his territory, let alone a warm hole with a hot spring, he can tell you which ones are there to drink. But it's hard to say about this, a pure newcomer can't be pure, he can't even touch anything delicious, let alone water!
"I don't know, I only arrived yesterday. The little tiger cub looked at the broken pieces with an innocent face, and was still a little puzzled, "Why do you have to look for water here? Don't you go back? If you don't know the way, I can take you back!"
"If I could go back, would I consider making a home here?" Shattered glanced at the little tiger cub angrily, "It's not far from our home, it's a few days of travel." ”
"Why are you sick?" the little tiger cub was even more confused.
"I'll just ask you a question, if you want Xiaomi Mi to show you the way and go home with you, are you willing?"
"Uh...... I'm not stupid...... "It's fine if you take Mimi out to play at this time, but if Mimi leads the way back, he's afraid he won't be able to return home until winter......
"There's no difference between taking me home and Mimi leading me home alone...... But in comparison, I'm still a little better than Mimi. ”
Are the "......" lost cubs living in groups?
The little tiger cub couldn't laugh or cry, looking at the broken pieces that were holding the fruit and gnawing happily, and asked curiously, "What's strong?"
"She's lost, she'll always find her way. I'm lost, and I'll never find my way. Stopping the action of gnawing on the fruit, he looked at the little tiger cub with a sincere face, and continued seriously, "Because I may get lost to an alien planet......"
"......" hehe.
Can you find a better excuse when you lie to the cubs?
