Chapter 13: The Blizzard

After a good rest, Ansu told Simon what she thought. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to survive, they have to find a variety of foods. But where does the other food come from in the snow and ice?

Simon voiced his doubts, and Ansu pointed to the ground, if herbivores can survive on the snowfield, then the snowfield must have their food, and this food may be hidden under the snow or dirt.

Ansu decided to check out the place where long-legged rabbits frequented.

At first glance, it looks like the rest of the place, with white snow. If you look closely, you can see that there are some small paw prints left by them on the snow. Digging through the snow at the entrance of their holes, you can sometimes see the leftover grass roots they eat. Ansu tried digging in the mud, and dug out the white grass roots, which were a little sweet, but there were not many of them, and it was quite laborious to dig up.

Although they didn't get much out of their trip, they found two edible plants, one with grass roots and the other with a light brown lichen that looked like antlers. Ansu knew that some lichen mosses were edible in cold regions, but they had to be soaked and fully cooked, otherwise they would cause abdominal pain. Hopefully, the same goes for alien lichens, which don't add anything inexplicable.

I didn't see the long-legged rabbits when I came out this time, so I guess they already knew that there was a powerful predator nearby, so they were more cautious than ever. Ansu knows which hole they are in, but who knows which hole it will drill in the next second? This complex underground cave system is a headache for Ansu.

They farther north and found some wolf and deer footprints, probably wolves chasing the deer. They tracked them down, but the footprints were gone. A night of wind and snow had covered all traces, but at least I knew that there were other animals and other food sources in the wasteland.

Now one of the things they think about every day is how to get food and warmth, and how to survive in the cold environment with a lack of supplies has become their primary concern.

"Boss, there have been several avalanches here, and the way down the mountain has been blocked." Jill came back and said, "If you go rashly, I'm afraid it will cause a second avalanche." ”

"Let's get around." Katas lifted his thick hooves and stepped on it, "The snow here is too soft. ”

Orin smiled: "It's because you're too big." ”

"Hey, I'm strong."

……

Canaan listened to the conversation of his subordinates, and his eyes turned to see what Gise was kicking with his hooves. He walked over.

"Boss, there's something here."

Others also gathered around curiously.

"A piece of wood? Wrong! ”

Jill helped his brother dig up some of the snow around the perimeter and saw a large wooden raft. It was Ansu who they used to cover the ice cave, but it was washed away by the snow tide.

Canaan touched the neater cuts in the wood and said to his men, "Dig it out, I think I've found a way down the mountain." ”

Ansu keenly felt the unsettling aura in the air. The clouds in the sky kept surging, and the snow on the ground was blown up by the strong wind and mixed with the air, like a snow dragon that was constantly tumbling. In the igloo, you can hear the sound of ice particles hitting the wall, beeping and beeping, as if to break through the walls of the igloo.

Ansu and Simon sat in the igloo and listened to the howling wind outside and the sound of ice particles smashing outside, and they didn't look good on their faces, so they couldn't go out and search for food. The days of starvation will become even longer. There is also the issue of heating that needs to be solved urgently.

But at this time, there was a snowstorm again, which is really a disaster!

Ansu looked at the faint flames and frowned. Hunger can be tolerated for a few days, but once you can't get warm, you can die of hypothermia in a few hours.

However, the heavy snow covers the mountain, and it is dangerous to go up the mountain at this time, not only can you not find the road, but you may also encounter an avalanche.

Without the support of high technology, they can only face the test of nature.

However, compared with Canaan, Ansu's situation at this time was still better. The grieving guardians encounter a sudden snowstorm while digging the rafts, and they also have to deal with the threat of avalanches.

The Canaanite Guardians immediately ordered a retreat, and quickly found a hard, massive rock to dodge. Although they were unfamiliar with this area, they deliberately memorized the terrain along the way, and besides, the nature of the deer people made it easier for them to memorize the route in the mountains and forests. They retreated back up the hill, and the rough road could not hold them back, and their movements were as nimble and graceful as those of a deer, and in a moment they found one, but it was narrower, and they had to keep their heads bowed and bent over, and the horns on their foreheads, which were like branches, could be tucked in. It was very painful to hold this position for a long time, and Canaan simply ordered everyone to sit down, although the deer people didn't like this action very much.

The five deer men barely huddled under the jutting rocks, but the blizzard swept past them with impunity, and a layer of snow fell on their horns and bodies, and a circle of snow beads hung from their long eyelashes. Fortunately, the deer people were not afraid of the cold, otherwise they would have huddled together and shivered.

Keith didn't like the snow on his hair and kept patting it with his hands. Jill looked at his brother helplessly and whispered in his ear, "Stop filming, save some strength, maybe we have a long way to go." ”

Keith shook his head, shook the snow off his horns, and muttered, "I don't like the feeling of snow sticking to me." ”

"Since you're going to be a good guardian, you're going to have to put up with all kinds of things that make you uncomfortable." Jill accentuated his tone, feeling a little regretful that he had brought this brother out to see the world. He thought it was just a simple search task, but he didn't expect something to happen. However, they have seen a lot of blizzards, and they can easily deal with them.

In the end, Guise followed his brother's advice and stopped moving, only occasionally stomping his hooves.

The conversation of the Gil brothers was heard by the sensitive ears of the deer, and everyone looked at each other, with memories in their eyes, tolerant, and without blame. They remembered the time when they first became Guardian rookies, and in the blink of an eye, it had been so many years.

"Boy, you still have a lot of hardships to suffer to become a qualified guardian!" Katas said with a loud voice.

"I'm not afraid, I want to be a powerful guardian like my brother!"

"Your brother is better than the leader?" Orin teased.

"The boss is amazing, uh, my brother is also amazing!" Guise blushed and glanced at Canaan and then at his brother.

"Don't tease him." Jill touched Guise's head, causing Guise to look disgusted.

"Brother, don't touch my head, I've grown horns, I'm not a child anymore!"

"You will always be my brother!" Jill rubbed a few handfuls vigorously, and the boy's hair was still as soft as a baby.

Looking at the heavy snow, the corners of Canaan Guardian's mouth slightly hooked, and what their guardians guarded was the happiness of their clansmen. (To be continued.) )
