Chapter 212: Digging Your Own Grave

I measured the gap in the ice sheet, it was not very wide, and if I was reluctant, I could get in, but because of the angle, it was difficult to see what was going on. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After thinking about it, I decided not to rush in, and went to other places first.

The so-called "Thousand Peaks Snow Mountain" actually refers to a continuous mountain range at the northern end of Long Island, of course, it is not as exaggerated as a thousand peaks, but there are naturally many peaks, and most of them stand thousands of walls and steep into the sky.

Today is my first day in the Snow Mountain~~ The top priority is to find a temporary place for myself to settle down!

Far out of the confines of this frozen lake, I wandered around the foothills for a long time, and finally found an abandoned bear nest - many bears will find themselves a suitable burrow when they hibernat, some are dead tree cavities, some are naturally collapsed crypts, and the latter is what I have found now.

Some pregnant she-bears give birth during hibernation, so the burrows are re-excavated to make them wide and large (relatively speaking, of course) and covered with shed fur and leaves, making them ideal habitats for humans, regardless of smell.

However, hibernating bears are slow to react, and will have a brief loss of consciousness for sudden light, which is often so easy to be captured, but fortunately, the female bear with cubs will always receive special care from the hunter, and after finding out that the female bear is pregnant or has just given birth, the hunter will consciously reseal the entrance to the cave and leave to find the next target.

This season is still a long time away from the hibernation of bears, so I swaggered into the bear's nest, and after more than half a year of wind and sun, there is basically no smell left here.

Before I figured out the situation, I would never dare to light a bonfire in a grand manner, but the stove was still necessary, I didn't want to be frozen to death in the wilderness on the first day, and even the thorns were summoned to press the quilt, and I fell asleep without a sense of crisis.

The real night soon came, but the pale and bright sky hung upside down in the dark night, and the pure and white snow-capped mountains in the day were only silent peaks; The cold wind swirled and whimpered among the thousand peaks, making a terrible whistling, bursting with heart-rending and heart-rending, like a child's cry; There was a hint of snow in the air, and all that was inhaled was bone-chilling, but with a bewildering smell of fireworks.

I slept very deeply, and I didn't feel any of this, but the thorn was left by me at the Matsumoto pharmacy for several days in a row, and at this time it was the most awake time, and there was an instinctive commotion trying to lean out of the cave.

Before I could show up, I heard what seemed to be someone moving in the distance, and it was so frightened that it hurriedly shrank back and lay down on top of me, trying to hide the traces of my existence.

If it can poke its head out, it will find that in the snowfield, a snow-skinned silver-haired woman, wearing a white kimono, holding a candle in her hand, is walking without touching the ground, followed by two long-haired imps, as if hypnotized, with her head down and quietly embellished behind the woman, but it is a real footprint step by step.

This strange combination soon walked near the cave where I was staying, and the thorn felt cold all over, as if the temperature had plummeted by more than ten degrees at once, and when the inexplicable fear had passed, it discovered another frightening fact—the woman's body seemed to have lost its temperature, and even seemed to have stopped breathing!

The thorn arched and scratched and licked, and finally woke me up, I just felt cold to the bone, although wrapped in a thick quilt, but there was no trace of heat, and I didn't know when the furnace was extinguished, and I felt like I would freeze to death the next moment.

Damn, what a shitty mission this is!

Hurry up and open the flame barrier, but even the flames are only a little warm, and they can't warm my body at all.

It was a terrible last resort, so I had to light a small bonfire, but fortunately it was in the crypt, and I was about to pounce on it, and I was not worried that the light would be revealed.

Thorn quickly told me about the footsteps that had just passed, and I was shocked: did this abnormal cold have anything to do with the footsteps?

Although I lit a bonfire, I couldn't sleep anymore in this cold place, so I had to stay up and wait for the dawn.

In the early hours of the morning, when the first rays of heavenly light shone on the snowy mountains, he arched his body suddenly, "There are footsteps again!" It looks like the person just now is back! ”

I blew out the campfire with an ice pick, covered it with snow, and clinged to the edge of the cave incognito, trying to hold my breath as much as I could, and swapped on the radar to find the target.

The thorn was also invisible, but at my command, he urgently spilled a soak of pee......

Sure enough, I soon felt the temperature around me dropping again...... It's cold...... In the awake state, the feeling is even more obvious, the whole body is shaking involuntarily, and even feels that the upper and lower teeth are fighting, making a crisp clicking sound, so I have to desperately clench my teeth so as not to expose my position, but it still doesn't work, the joints are frozen, the body shakes, and there is a sour friction sound between the muscles and bones, which is mad.

Probably sensing the unusual movement here, the footsteps were actually getting closer and closer, and I lamented in my heart that it was not good to be a teacher, and I prepared for battle.

Before the sound of footsteps, he finally put on a frost barrier, so that the temperature around the body was minimized, consistent with the environment, and then he stared at the sky outside the cave above his head, and soon a beautiful face was revealed, and the two bright eyes glanced at it flexibly, and he frowned, and then retracted.

"Is it just the aftermath of the beast's sleep......? Maybe I'm too careful, right......? The voice of self-talk faded away, and I saw a fading spot on the humanoid radar.

I really can't believe that such a perfect face can be possessed by human beings?

If I step out of the cave at this time, I will find that behind the woman, in addition to the two long-haired mountain ghosts, there is also a human child, the same chaos, walking towards the mountain step by step with his head down.

But naturally I won't do this, although I am in the extreme cold, but if I really need to fight, I believe it will not affect me too much, but I am not here to fight~! So the first thing to consider is how to try not to be detected.

So I'm still patiently waiting for this piece of cold to pass.

Fortunately, I opened the Frost Enchantment just now out of caution, but I found that the cold feeling in the Frost Enchantment would be better, so, after confirming that it was safe, I re-lit the bonfire, and while warming my body, I maintained the enchantment against the cold, and finally regained my normal consciousness.

"I'm still going to sleep for a while, please keep watch for a while!"

Thorn didn't have a problem, so I took the time to regain my energy, and then let it go back to the pet space to rest, while I wandered around the snowy mountains.

A day without words, well, nothing to gain.

In the evening, I went back to this crypt, according to Thorn, it should have been midnight to hear footsteps, before that, I had already climbed to the ground, found a high ground nearby to stand on it, and used the frost barrier to hide my breath.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the extremely beautiful woman in white appeared, and I noticed that she glanced in the direction of the bear's nest, and paused, as if feeling something, but then continued to walk the same way. This time I saw two mountain ghosts behind her, but due to the distance, I couldn't determine what those two mountain ghosts were.

I waited quietly until the early hours of the morning, when the woman returned, looking a little haggard and disappointed, still followed by two mountain ghosts.

I went back to the crypt, summoned the thorns to guard it, and got a good night's sleep.

If so, a few days. I finally understood that this woman was not a human, but a snow girl like Xue Lan of the Kotokui family, but because of the natural environment of the Thousand Peaks Snow Mountain, her ability was far beyond that of Xue Lan, and she would go down the mountain every night, occasionally bringing back one or two human children to come back with her, but for some reason.

It seems that there is an onmyoji behind the snow and no reason, which is not unfounded.

I also went to explore the frozen lake again, but I didn't find any traces of human infestation, everything is the same.

Finally, I decided to follow Snow Maiden in the early hours of the next morning to see where she had taken all those human children!

But the strange thing is that this night, the Snow Girl didn't come out~

In the middle of the night, it began to snow.

The snow flakes are thick and heavy, and they don't melt when they fall on your body.

I quickly realized that if I continued to stand here and wait, I would be a big target, and there was no point in stealth.

So I quickly fell down on the snow, secretly used chakra to clear the snow, and buried the whole person in the ground - for some reason, there was always an inexplicable sense of crisis in my heart, which cut off my idea of returning to the crypt to avoid the snow (of course, there is nothing to avoid without covering the eaves, but there is a nest that is psychologically comforting =. =)。

As the snow grows heavier, the snow on my body gets thicker and thicker, but with the magic spell, I don't need to breathe through my mouth and nose, and the uninterrupted frost barrier ensures that I can maintain basic bodily functions.

The whimpering sound from the wind and snow was even more dull, making people feel more desolate, and gradually, bursts of heartfelt coldness spread from the ground, and the hairs on the back stood on end, and there was a very unreal feeling of nakedness.

Something seems to be going to happen.

I couldn't help but feel creepy when I saw the red dot suddenly lit up on the radar - since the identity of the Snow Maiden was confirmed, my radar has been kept in the state of an elemental creature - this red dot actually appeared next to me, the location of the high ground......

The snow girl squirmed in her mouth, not knowing what she was muttering, and what made me feel even more terrifying was that this squirming sound, on the vast snowfield, seemed to be connected, and there was this mantra-like sound coming from all directions.
