Chapter 371: Re-entering the Ice and Snow World
The three wolves probably had found that Liu Danqing was staring at them, and shrunk back one by one, looking like they were a little scared, it seemed that it was really possible to have seen humans.
However, these three guys are really persistent enough, insisting on the strategy of not moving the enemy and not moving.
This is also the most common trick used by wolves to hunt, they have enough patience, as well as enough stamina.
Xiao Weiwei lay down for a while, but she couldn't sleep, so she got up and let Liu Dan sleep for a while, stared at the three arctic wolves by herself, and chatted with the audience by the way, nonsense.
It wasn't until dawn that the three arctic wolves slowly left and disappeared from their field of vision.
"It's a new day, we're on our way, let's go!"
Liu Danqing packed a lot of dried venison with deer skin, rolled it up, carried it behind his back, and then tied a knot on his chest, picked up a antler, and said.
Xiao Weiwei also picked up a deer antler, followed Liu Danqing out of the "hot spring hotel", and continued to march towards the east.
After walking forward for a while, Liu Danqing felt that something was wrong, and looked back at the back, but there were still hot springs and tundra, and nothing was found.
"Little three, elevate, expand the search area. β
As Xiao San ascended, about seven or eight hundred meters behind Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei's sides, three arctic wolves appeared on the screen.
It seems that these three guys are not dead yet, and they are still following Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei, I don't know if they want to attack the two of them, or if they want to pick up some leftovers and cold rice.
Xiao Weiwei held her mobile phone, looked at the three wolves on the screen, and asked, "Qingqing, what should I do, have they been following us?"
"It's okay, let them follow, if you dare to come up, you and I will take care of them, anyway, the fur of the arctic wolf is a good thing, not only is it warmer than the wolf skin mattress we got last time in Burma, but the color is also beautiful. β
This is said to be domineering, and he didn't take the three Arctic wolves in his eyes at all.
This tundra is not large, and before noon, the two of them have already walked to a new ice and snowy land.
Stepping on the creaking ice and snow again, Xiao Weiwei said distressedly: "Hey, it's on the snow again, originally I like snow very, very much, and it doesn't snow much, but every time it snows, I will rush to the middle of the snowflakes." β
"But now, I feel like I've got tired of getting up in the snow, especially when walking on the snow, every foot sinks, it's very uncomfortable. β
"Well, walking in the snow requires at least three times more physical energy than walking on the tundra, and this still doesn't count the slowdown in speed, and the combination of the two phases is estimated to be ten times more than enough. β
While walking, Liu Danqing also complained about the difficulty of walking in the snow.
"The width of the entire Vatona Glacier is about 130 or 40 kilometers, and we landed in the center, which means that if we go all the way east, we are only about 70 kilometers from the sea. β
"These distances, if you walk at a pace of about seven to eight kilometers per hour, can be covered in just ten hours. β
"But as you can see, it's the fifth day and we don't know how far we are from the sea. β
This time, the reference object that the two of them were looking for was a gap between the two mountains, and they were going to pass through the gap, and then see what was going on in front of them before making a decision.
As we moved away from the shelter of the tall icebergs to the west, the wind became stronger, but fortunately, Iceland was basically a northwesterly wind, which was biting, but it did not bring resistance to the two of them, and even brought some thrust.
After walking in the snow for more than three hours, Liu Danqing saw a small snow mound in front of him, so he turned back to Xiao Weiwei and shouted: "Weiwei, let's go there to rest, drink some water, and eat some food." β
The small snow mound was not big, but it still helped the two of them block most of the cold wind.
The two of them sat downwind, took out the flask and strips of venison from their inner pockets, and ate them.
"There's a note here. Liu Danqing explained while eating: "Walking in the snow, we must store the necessary food close to our body, so as to ensure the temperature and softness of the food. β
"In the past, in the north, people, especially those with handlebars, would put a few pieces of bread close to their bodies when they went out, and they could eat them directly when they were hungry, relying on this method to replenish energy and calories. β
After one person nibbled on a strip of meat and drank a jug of water, the two filled a jug of snow again, put it in their inner pockets, and continued to set off.
Walking into the gap, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two looked at the sun in the sky and couldn't help but speed up their steps.
Walking to the other end of the gap, the two were stupid.
In front of them is a "slide".
A pure ice slide with a length of two or three hundred meters.
Below the slide, there is still a small plain of ice and snow, and in front of the small plain, there are still glaciers and snowy mountains.
Looking at this slide, Liu Danqing scratched his head in distress.
"Comrades, trouble is coming, this glacial belt is very embarrassing to us!"
"If it's sliding down, then we're miserable, this kind of slope, sliding down directly, is not much different from jumping a hundred meters high building, but if we don't slide down, we have to go around a big circle, from the snow mountain over there, waste a lot of time. β
Xiao Weiwei looked at Liu Danqing in a tangle and asked, "Then can you go down from here?"
Liu Danqing shook his head and replied, "No, it's too dangerous." β
"Then what are you hesitating about? β
Xiao Weiwei tugged at the safety rope between the two and said.
Liu Danqing looked at this ice slide and said unwillingly: "We should really bring ice axes, so that we can slide down from here, but unfortunately, this kind of place can not be found!"
Co-authored, this guy is not bothered by detours, but by the pity that he didn't have the opportunity to try this natural giant slide.
When Xiao Weiwei, who had a girl's heart, heard this, she was immediately interested, and asked, "If there is an ice axe, can you slide down from here?"
Liu Danqing nodded and replied: "Technically, it is possible, but it requires great arm strength and reflection ability. β
"The most important thing to slide down from here is to control the speed, what we lack now is something that can slow down, relying on the Viking knife and these two antlers, it will definitely not work. β
Speaking of antlers, Liu Danqing took out his mobile phone and asked, "Dear audience friends, have you noticed that the three arctic wolves are still following us?"
"Leave early!"
"It didn't take long to follow you into the snow and then left. β
"You think they're stupid, running into the snow and starving. β
β¦β¦
A long list of replies jumped out, telling the two of them the good news.
The two of them walked along the slope of the mountain to the north of the glacial belt, and slowly began to descend along the snow.
On the snowy mountains, it is much more difficult to go down than to go up.
But fortunately, the two of them have now mastered the skills of hip skiing, so in places with suitable slopes, the speed of the two of them going down the mountain is still relatively fast.
And with the antlers, in some places with a slightly gentle slope, the two of them can also use the antlers as oars to give themselves extra strength.
The difficulty is the slopes with very narrow slopes, where the two can only walk diagonally to slow down the slope.
There are even places where the two of them are facing the slope, putting their hands in the snow to fix their bodies, and slowly moving down.
Hurrying slowly, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei finally came to the bottom of the mountain before dark.
At this point, the natural thing to do is to dig a snow hole.
In the white ice and snow world on one side, there are snow caves in the shelter, which are both warm and safe.
Now, even if there is an ice cave in front of them, Liu Danqing will not choose to use it as a shelter.
Who knows if the ice cave will collapse in the middle of the night, the mountaineer buried in the blue ice cave told everyone a lesson with his life, don't use the ice cave as a shelter.
Relatively speaking, the two of them still slept comfortably in the ice cave, at least there were no arctic wolves to disturb people's dreams.
There may be more living creatures in this white world, but the big one is estimated to be the two of them, and even the most hardy Icelandic sheep will not come to this barren land.
And they now have a deerskin, and when the venison is taken out and set aside, the deerskin can be used as a mattress.
Padded deerskin to insulate from the cold underneath their bodies, and venison provided enough energy and heat, the two slept especially comfortably this night.
In the middle of the night, there was another strong wind, followed by a blizzard, but because the shelter of the two was a depression to the east of the iceberg, the blizzard had little effect on the two, and it didn't even wake them up.
"Good morning to the audience, and welcome to the Land of Ice and Fire, the wilderness couple, as we survive on VatnajΓΆkull for the sixth day. β
"Good morning, dear friends, I slept so comfortably last night, warm in deerskin. β
After the opening remarks, the two took out the venison and flask that they had placed in their inner pockets before going to bed and ate breakfast.
"Huh?" was chewing venison, Liu Danqing looked at the glacier and said in surprise: "It's snowing at night, we didn't find it, it seems that our shelter is too well located, and we sleep too comfortably." β
"It's snowing?" Xiao Weiwei asked suspiciously, "There is snow everywhere here, how do you know that it snowed last night?"
Liu Danqing pointed to the glacier belt and explained: "If you look at the ice slide, there is a faint layer of white on it, which proves that it is snowing at night, because the ice slide cannot store snow, or it will not be long before the snow on it will be carried away by the wind." β
"Oh!" Xiao Weiwei nodded, and gave Liu Danqing a thumbs up, indicating that she had gained knowledge again.
After breakfast, the two continued their journey for a new day.
Over the snowfield, over the iceberg, another day passed.
In the evening, Liu Danqing explained in his spare time digging a snow cave: "Today I feel that I have dropped a lot of altitude, and it seems that the altitude is constantly getting lower, which means that we should not be far from the sea, slightly, victory is ahead!"
