Volume II, Chapter 110
Once fully entered the forest, the antelope footprints on the ground could no longer be distinguished. In addition to the footprints of other animals and the snow cover, it is also because there are many herbaceous plants growing on the ground here. This snow-white plant, which looks like a weed, does not seem to have entered the food chain at all, and even the ice-armored herbivorous dragon, which can be described as a plant, is not interested in it at all, as if it had seen sand.
Shi Leiyin took one and ate it into his stomach with some curiosity and analyzed it, and found that there was no toxicity that could be feared by animals, and there was no special taste that affected the consumption, and even the taste could be called good. Just when Shi Leiyin was puzzled, the whole grass was completely digested by Shi Leiyin, and the mutation occurred. This grass seemed to have turned into a pure snow elemental crystal, condensed for a while, and then it was completely absorbed by Shi Leiyin.
Taken aback, Shi Leiyin, who originally thought that there would be some special changes, carefully checked his body and found that there was nothing else except for a trace of energy, so he was relieved and recalled the change in the white grass just now. After carefully reviewing the process of the change of the white grass in the body, and even eating a few more white grasses, Shi Leiyin finally knew why most animals, including the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon, did not use this white grass as food. Although this white grass looks and tastes similar to or better than ordinary weeds, it does not contain the energy and nutrients needed for biological activity.
At the same time, once the biomass on the surface of this white grass is destroyed, it will immediately release the ice element contained in it, so that the eater needs to consume energy to fuse or resist the ice element, although a single amount is insignificant, but it is enough to cause an energy balance. In short, unless you are a creature that relies on ice elements to survive or need to replenish ice elements quickly, eating this white grass will only waste your energy in vain. It's no wonder that the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon completely ignores this white grass.
The characteristics of white grass are simply described and the water is quiet. Shui Jing also specially took one and tried it, and found that Shui Jing, who was very close to the existence of ice spirits, absorbed the energy consumed by the ice element contained in these white grasses was far less than that of Shi Leiyin, almost to a negligible level. It's just that in terms of quantity, if Shui Jing wants to rely on these white grasses to improve his ice element level, I'm afraid that even if he eats up the white grass of the entire forest, it won't be enough.
Out of curiosity, Geria and Zird also tried to bite a piece of white grass, but as an elemental spirit, Geriya was better, but she felt frozen, and then completely rejected those ice elements. But Zilde was not lightly frozen, the ice element that was nothing in Shi Leiyin's eyes, Zilde's magic power had no effect at all, and his physique could not absorb the ice element, and these ice elements tossed in Zilde's stomach for a long time. It wasn't until Shi Leiyin couldn't stand it anymore and stopped to boil a pot of hot water for him to drink, that he eased up.
Zilde's reaction also made Shi Leiyin understand that this white grass was probably not only because it had no nutrients and consumed energy, but if it was not a creature that could absorb the ice element, it would also be harmed by the ice element.
Getting hot water for Zilde to drink can be a hassle, especially in a place like the polar environment on Earth. With no way to ignite a fire and boil water, Shi Leiyin ignored Zilde's objections, melted the ice and snow into water in his body, and then directly heated it into warm water with the fire element, and then used a tentacle to form a pipe, which was directly stuffed into Zilde's mouth and poured into his stomach. It is precisely because this is warm water heated directly with the fire element that it successfully neutralizes the ice element that rebelled in Zilde's body.
It's just that the process of being infused with liquid by a slime with tentacles is really too much of a psychological blow to Xiao Zhengtai. Zilde, who was in an awkward mood, refused to move on, and for the first time, he had to stop to build a snow cabin for the first time, shortly after noon.
Due to the abundance of time, Shi Leiyin found a large natural tree hole. It is said to be a tree hole, but it is not a hole made by other creatures in the trees, but a kind of vine hole formed by some vines that rarely appear in cold areas are intertwined with each other between several trees. The roof of the cave is made up of a large number of vines, and the walls of the cave are flanked by huge tree trunks and roots that are exposed to the ground. The other side was blocked by a huge rock. The result is a cave with only one entrance.
Shi Leiyin entered and checked it, and after confirming that this vine cave was not without the director of the previous person, he simply dealt with the various gaps in the cave, and then turned around to call someone.
The location of the cave was still hundreds of meters away from the place where Zilde was awkward and refused to continue, and Xiao Zhengtai seemed to be really angry, so he just stayed where he was and refused to move, and he didn't even want to go up on the back of the ice armor herbivorous dragon.
Shi Leiyin was not bored by Zilde's awkwardness, but felt that this was the temper that a child of his age should have. You must know that Zilde has had some youthful and mature appearances since he met Shi Leiyin, although he and Jie Liya sometimes quarrel like children, but when facing Shi Leiyin, and even Shui Jing, they are very formal and formal, and they feel like they are treated as adults. At first, Shi Leiyin also thought that this was because Aluma was too childish as a stepmother, causing Zilde to have to 'take charge of the poor child's house early', but later found that Zilde was a little too respectful of him and Shui Jing, but he completely regarded himself as an 'outsider'. So this time Zilde was able to lose his temper with himself, apparently because he had already begun to stop treating himself as an outsider, and although Shi Leiyin felt that it was troublesome to comfort a vexatious child, he was a little happy.
Under Shi Leiyin's flattery and Jieliya's help, Zilde finally gave up, agreeing to ride Shi Leiyin alone to the cave where he would stay overnight, and the condition that he could give priority to the most comfortable location of Shi Leiyin's waterbed at night, and gave up his plan to stick to his current position and continue to be angry.
It's just that seeing this Zirde sit comfortably in a specially made position above Shi Leiyin's head, which has become several times larger, enjoying the feeling of high and low as he advances. Shui Jing and Jie Liya actually used the same methods as Zilde. As a result, Shi Leiyin could only change two more seats above his head that were suitable for the two girls to sit in.
From the leader of the team to the same mount level as the Ice Armor Herbivorous Dragon who was led behind him, Shi Leiyin could only sigh that he was really too good to the three little guys. Fortunately, it was only a hundred meters away from the vine cave he had chosen, and even if he advanced in the form of a giant slime, he would not waste too much energy on Shi Leiyin.
Just as Shi Leiyin arrived at the vine cave and discussed with Sanxiao whether to go down to the ground by himself or continue to carry them around, a huge roar that looked like a dragon and not a dragon, and a wolf and not a wolf came. Shi Leiyin was surprised to find that even when he encountered an antelope much larger than his own size, the ice-armored herbivorous dragon that unceremoniously put on an attack action actually lay down with a wail, and refused to move no matter how Shi Leiyin pulled.
