Chapter 457: Increase Faith
In order to increase Huang Qiaoqiao's confidence, Yang Xianmao still gave the bottom and said: "You must be very worried that the extremely cold sea water under the glacier is too cold, right? Don't worry, I have a special oil, which is also the fat on the liver of this desolate god crocodile, according to the records, this thing can be frost-proof, but the quantity is relatively small, just enough for two people to use once." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The key is that I don't know how long its effect will last, so now I didn't take it out to give us two antifreeze, wait until it's time to dive, and apply it to both of us, and then it should be able to resist the extremely cold seawater, you have to believe it, because when the time comes, I will dive into the water with you, and if I don't have this grease body, my life will not be saved. My diving skills and hardiness are not as good as yours, and I will die before you. Therefore, whether this grease is effective or not is crucial for the two of us, so I won't lie to you about it. ”
When Huang Qiaoqiao heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and her voice was trembling, which was tantamount to telling her that her life was basically saved, at least she could avoid the ending of being frozen to death in the extremely cold water, which was something that she was worried about crying on the road before.
If Yang Xianmao said this before the scales appeared, Huang Qiaoqiao would have thought that she was comforting herself, but now that she had personally tested the magic of the crocodile scales of this desolate god, infinite hope suddenly rose in her heart. He completely believed what Yang Xianmao said, this special oil on the liver of this desolate god crocodile can also play a role in anti-freezing, so that her life can be saved.
What's more, what Yang Xianmao said in the end is also very reasonable, because Yang Xianmao himself also has to dive, and if he doesn't have this special effect of oil, he will also freeze to death.
So after getting the news, Huang Qiaoqiao's heart was settled, and she suddenly felt that the sky was suddenly much clearer, and this small tent was suddenly full of spring. smiled sweetly at the moment and said to Yang Xianmao: "Thank you!"
Huang Qiaoqiao's smile was really like a summer flower, which made Yang Xianmao's heart flutter, and he quickly turned his face and didn't dare to look at it. I thought that this chick was really beautiful, I had never seen her smile so brightly before. She's so cute when she laughs.
With this conversation, the estrangement in the hearts of the two disappeared. Huang Qiaoqiao blew out the light and got into the quilt, overjoyed, and only felt relaxed all around, so this time he quickly fell asleep.
Yang Xianmao was a little worried that the monster that had eaten their sled dogs would reappear and eat the rest of their sled dogs, so he kept his ears open and listened vigilantly to the sounds outside the tent.
After about an hour, there was nothing unusual, and there was no sound of chewing bones and meat as Huang Qiaoqiao said, because the next day had to travel a long way, and you must ensure adequate sleep.
Therefore, Yang Xianmao once again performed the five fowl plays, looking at the nose and nose and the heart, and soon fell asleep.
Although Yang Xianmao did not cultivate his true body, his five bird drama could still ensure that after he met the need for adequate sleep, he would wake up and would not be snooze and waste time. Therefore, he woke up almost accurately in the morning.
The moment he woke up, he seemed to hear the sound of the animal Huang Qiaoqiao described to him eating flesh with bones. The sound is a little fuzzy, a little distant, and not very real.
However, he suddenly sobered up, sat up violently, and before he had time to open the curtain, he directly broke the gap and looked out, only to see that under the reflection of the snow, he saw a pool of blood sprinkled on the snow in a large group of sled dogs tied not far away, and the stumps of the bitten sled dogs were scattered on the snow.
However, he couldn't see any monsters appear in front of him, and as he pulled open the crack to look out, the sound of snorting suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and he could no longer hear it.
Yang Xianmao tore open the door curtain, turned around and grabbed the black dagger placed next to the pillow, and rushed out of the door.
His action immediately woke Huang Qiaoqiao up, she got up and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xianmao didn't answer, and had already gotten out of the tent. Huang Qiaoqiao felt that the situation was not good, and grabbed the single knife on the head of the bed, although he rolled his mouth, he could still use it. When I opened the curtain, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Yang Xianmao quickly circled around the sled dog group, and did not find any monsters or animals, let alone people. There was only a howling north wind all around, and the snowflakes that rolled up hit the face, causing pain.
He didn't wear a fur robe, but soon felt the cold, and hurriedly crossed his shoulders and hurried back to the tent. Huang Qiaoqiao had already taken his robe out in his hand. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and handed it to him, helped him put on his belt, put on a thick fur hat, and said nervously: "How many sled dogs did that monster bite and kill?"
"I don't know, check it out. ”
The two immediately examined. After checking it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time I lost twenty-four. With the addition of yesterday's sixteen, it is exactly forty.
They lost nearly half of their sled dogs at once.
Yang Xianmao was very strange as to why the monsters ate their companions, while the other sled dogs did not struggle, resist, or even bark, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Xianmao squatted next to a sled dog, reached out and touched its head, and saw it looking at him blankly.
Huang Qiaoqiao squatted on the ground to check if there were any suspicious marks left near the stumps. But the wind and snow were too great, and they had solid ice under their feet, not like the fluffy snow on land, and the footprints left by their feet on the ice were not deep. The wind quickly swept away footprints or other marks. So there were no suspicious traces on the ground at all
Seeing Huang Qiaoqiao's traces on the ground, Yang Xianmao's heart moved, because after he woke up, he had heard the sound of gnawing meat with bones. If the sound came from the monster that had killed the sled dogs, it was near their tent, and the trail could not have disappeared in such a short period of time.
Therefore, Yang Xianmao immediately squatted down and carefully checked whether there were any suspicious traces on the ground. There is a reflection of snow on the ground, and you can roughly make out the traces on the ground, if there are any left.
But the strange thing is that there are no traces left on the ground, Yang Xianmao began to look around along the blood on the ground, and the traces are scattered in a very large and wide direction, up to dozens of zhang away, it is possible that the monster bit the sled dog far away to eat.
What confirmed this was the sound of chewing that Yang Xianmao heard when he woke up just now, which was relatively far away and relatively soft. If it weren't for his strong ears, he would hardly have heard. Therefore, Yang Xianmao immediately expanded his search into the distance, and sure enough, he found a few more blood stains and the severed limbs of the sled dog on the ice field dozens of steps away from the sled dog, and on the ground, he found clear traces.
It seems that the monster ate their sled dogs near the camp before, and then took the rest of the sled dogs here and continued to eat, and those traces before were blown away by the wind and snow, and now these traces found are left by the monster, and they were not buried by the wind and snow too late, so they were left.
Yang Xianmao carefully observed the marks left on the ground. At this glance, not only was he dumbfounded, but his heart tightened suddenly.
Because the marks on the ground he saw were the palm prints of several people!
Yang Xianmao turned his head to look at Huang Qiaoqiao next to her, and saw that her face was already pale with fright, so she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, and looked at the palm print on the ground in horror.
Could it be that it was a human being who bit and ate these sled dogs?
The human mouth is much smaller than that of bears and tigers, and the bite is almost the same, which is not enough to bite the sled dogs, so how did they bite these sled dogs to death?
Yang Xianmao stared at the few handprints on the ground, and when he looked closely, he found that these palms were much larger than his. He tentatively placed his palm on top of the mudra, which was nearly twice as large as his palm. Compared to this palm, it is like the palm of a five- or six-year-old child who is with an adult.
If it was a human being who bit the sled dog, it should be a giant. The man was at least a foot tall, had a bloody mouth, and his mouth should be about the size of a bear or a tiger's, enough to bite a sled dog to death.
What kind of person is this? Is this one person or several?
He immediately checked the palm prints on the snow again, and found that the palms were all about the same size, proving that it was probably the same person, and of course, it was not ruled out that there were several people of similar stature.
Yang Xianmao said to Huang Qiaoqiao: "Let's take a look around immediately, if there are any other traces that have not been found." Let's keep a visible distance from each other and don't get separated. ”
Although it is already the middle of the day, in Wu Yueguo's words, the sky is already dawn at this hour, but in the extreme arctic cold land, it is still night. There was no human figure to be seen from a distance of dozens of paces. They can't get separated, or they'll go in the wrong direction, and they'll die on the ice as they go farther and farther.
Huang Qiaoqiao's hand holding the single knife tightened and nodded. The two of them began to search the vicinity, one left and one right, while keeping an eye on the distance between the two at all times.
Not far away, Huang Qiaoqiao exclaimed: "There is also a pool of blood here, and there are also handprints!"
Yang Xianmao hurriedly ran to her side to check, and sure enough, there was a large pool of blood, and there were several clear handprints on the ground, which were about the same size as just now.
The two continued to search, and found several handprints of different sizes nearby, and the palms of the found hands also changed, some larger than the previous ones, and some slightly smaller ones.
After searching all the places within a hundred and ten paces of the vicinity, no other handprints were found. Yang Xianmao measured the handprints found.
After taking measurements, Yang Xianmao determined that there were at least three different sizes of handprints left in the vicinity. That is, at least three giants of different sizes ate their sled dogs.
These three giants can eat the sled dogs silently, so why not attack the two of them?
Yang Xianmao and Huang Qiaoqiao both saw fear in each other's eyes. The two of them did not cultivate their true bodies, and completely relied on physical strength and martial arts, and it was simply unimaginable to deal with three giants who were more than a foot tall.
