Chapter 336: Winter in the Valley of Trials
"Damn, I've been here for so many days, and I haven't encountered anything, and I don't know where the exit of this trial valley is, I'm annoyed to death!" Ziyue walked up and down in the cave, shaking so much that Qingying's eyes were spent. Ever since they entered the Valley of Trials, their cultivation had disappeared for no apparent reason. Now how long have I been in it, it's freezing cold, it's almost torturing people crazy.
"Yue'er, don't be impatient!" Xuanyuan Yichen lay on the grass, opened his eyes lazily, glanced outside the cave where the snow was still flying, and shook his head helplessly. Although he doesn't like this trial valley either, it's also something from his own sect, so he can't blame those who set up a trial valley, right? After all, he was still very satisfied with this trial valley. Except, of course, to be used against him.
"I can't help but be dry, you say, is this environment man-made, or random?" Ziyue was unhappy in her heart, and as her husband, she was naturally promoted to her punching bag.
"It's random, Yue'er, do you remember the lottery we drew at Taniguchi before we came in?" Xuanyuan Yichen reminded, and the demon's face was full of pain. As for whether it is real or pretended, it is unknown.
"Uh, you're saying we're going to be assigned here because of that cold lottery?" Ziyue recalled, her brows furrowed, and she was a little annoyed. At the beginning, she would draw this lottery, not because the lottery was cold and comfortable, besides, he didn't tell himself that the silver-white one in the lottery represents winter!
"That's right! The trials in the Valley of Trials are divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter. Unfortunately, we were drawn in the winter, when there was no food source. The current food can last for five days, but it is not so easy to find food in this icy and snowy place. "It's okay if Xuanyuan Yichen doesn't say it, as soon as he says it, Ziyue is a gas? At that time, I heard that I was in the Valley of Trials for three days, and three days later. Whether it can be cleared. It's up to them to do in the Valley of Trials. However, who knows, the speed of time in this is also different from the outside world.
"It's not easy to go out and find food, and there are five of us here. Start assigning tasks now! Ziyue thought for a moment. Or decided to start planning for food.
"Good!" Everyone said in unison. They all agreed with what Ziyue said, although there were only two women in their group of five. However, women are yin, and in winter, they are naturally prone to cold. What's more, now they are just ordinary people, they will be hungry and sick.
"From now on, using this cave as a base camp, we went out in all directions along the cave in search of food to eat. Grievances, you are the cook, and naturally you know that those things can be eaten and those things cannot be eaten, so you go out with Ruohe, but the distance must not exceed five miles, no matter whether you find food or not, once you reach the distance of five miles, you will come back immediately! ”
"Good! We got it! The two nodded, and it didn't make any sense to Ziyue's arrangement. They are a group, and naturally need a core to support them. Xuanyuan Yichen is looking forward to the lady's horse, and Qingying is a loyal fan of Ziyue, as for the two of them, although they came in temporarily, although, three to two, they naturally have to listen to her arrangement. Besides, there is nothing wrong with what she said, and they naturally will not refute it.
"Qingying, you are a poison maker, and if you know about poisons, there must be no poison in this Valley of Trials that you don't know! You just work with Shi Resentment and Ruohe, and by the way, find some antidote pills that can stop bleeding and ordinary detoxification, no problem, right? ”
"No problem, I'll take care of that!" Qingying patted her chest and made sure that she completed the task.
"There are only husband and wife left, we won't go out on the first day, and the cave needs someone to watch, after all, it's not just one of us that drew into the winter, it's the same as ours, and there are twenty groups, all, the cave must not be lost. When you get out, we'll find a way to hide the cave or we'll find out. ”
"Yes, you are staying in the cave, and we are more at ease!" The three of them did not have the slightest complaint, as for Qingying, it was for the sake of the Purple Moon Horse, and the purpose of the other two was to enter the Snowy Realm Holy Sect to cultivate, and strive to one day be able to stand at the peak of the world and become a human being. So, they don't have two hearts. Besides, the two of them are also relatively honest people, and going out to find food is also very suitable for them.
The five of them worked separately, and Ziyue began to set up a hidden formation outside the cave. Before entering the Valley of Trials, she had put a few fairy crystals in her pocket, and now they really came in handy. Although she has no spiritual power, because the hidden formation only needs to have a spar to be automatically activated, she can only arrange such a formation now.
"Yue'er, the cave is already hidden, let's go out for a while!" Xuanyuan Yichen can be compared to the ignorant person who doesn't know anything, even if he is from his own sect in this trial valley, he has to completely control it, and he believes that the spirit beasts and beasts in this trial valley are not small. It's just that if you want to eat meat, it depends on your luck.
"Good! However, we have hidden the cave, what if they come back and can't find it? When Ziyue heard him, she was a little moved, but in this winter, the cave is very important. Now they are just a beauty with a sword for self-defense, but among the five people, only Xuanyuan Yichen has practiced martial arts, and they are just a third-rate master. If you encounter a spirit animal, you can only wave your hand and say goodbye.
"Don't worry! They didn't come back that fast, we just went out for a little while, right around here, they came back, and we could see it. If you're really not at ease, then build a snowman on the top of the cave to deliver the message! ”
"Build a snowman? That's right! How did I not think of it? Ziyue's eyes lit up, and she ran to the top of the cave and began to build a snowman, as for the appearance, I'm sorry, this is not what she needs to consider.
Ziyue spent half an hour piling up a "green shadow", but that appearance can only be described beyond recognition. In the end, I was afraid that they didn't understand, and they were still pressing a handful of grass on the top of the head of "Qingying". As for the direction in which the grass is pointing, it is naturally the direction that the cave is pointing.
"Alright, let's go! Such an obvious hint. If the three of them still can't figure it out, then they can only find a piece of tofu and kill them! Ziyue clapped her hands and looked at the unrecognizable "Qingying" snowman with satisfaction, but the sentence just now made Xuanyuan Yichen can't help but slander: This unrecognizable snowman, it would be strange if they knew each other. As far as you are concerned, if anyone asks you to design a mausoleum, it is estimated that the dead will be angry. They are still afraid that their grave will be handed over. And then sleep forever in the ground. was steadily pressed by others.
"Let's go!" Xuanyuan Yichen glanced back at the snowman again, and couldn't help but shake his head. "What's wrong with you? Don't have anything on your head? Why do you keep shaking your head? ”
"It's okay, let's go! Go over there and we should be able to find something to eat. "This time. Just eat dry food. To put it in a rude sentence. That is, the beak is about to fade out of a bird.
The two of them smiled and ran towards the woods on that side, and it wasn't long before they saw a wild boar looking for food.
"There is nowhere to find when you step on iron shoes. It's a no-brainer! Yichen, since you have met it, then don't let it go, this pig can be eaten for several days when it is made into jerky! Ziyue's eyes flashed with the appearance of roasted braised pigs, and the eyes were shining, even the corners of Xuanyuan Yichen's mouth couldn't help twitching, embarrassed, too embarrassing, fortunately, there was no one around.
You say you want to eat meat, but don't look at it with such a glittering look! It's like you haven't eaten meat in hundreds of years. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and they had a delicious meat feast before they came in. He didn't figure out why she wanted to eat meat so much?
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't continue to fantasize, after all, this wild boar can run, if because of his distraction, the wild boar he fancy runs away, wouldn't it be a big loss. In Ziyue's excited eyes, Xuanyuan Yichen quickly ambushed the wild boar in front of him. But fortunately, this wild boar is the kind that is so hungry that his chest is close to his back, otherwise, with the combat power of the two of them, how can they get a wild boar?
"What now? This wild boar is bloody, if it is dragged back like this, it will definitely be exposed, and there are still a lot of snow wolves in this forest, if the cave is not discovered because of this, then we will be completely finished! Ziyue looked at the bleeding wild boar in front of her and had a headache. Although eating meat is good, you also have to have a life.
"We've got to drag it back, and we're going to have to deal with the smell of blood around us, or we'll soon be besieged by wolves." Xuanyuan Yichen made a decisive decision and dragged the bleeding wild boar towards the cave before.
The two of them walked all the way, all the way to get the traces of passing by and the bright blood red color. Soon returned to the cave. After they returned, the three men who had gone out to look for food had not yet returned. This made Ziyue feel intrigued.
"They're going to be fine, right?" Ziyue was a little worried, but she didn't interrupt the man who was cleaning up the wild boar on the side. The only thing that makes people happy with this cave is that there is a small pond in the cave, which is a spring, and the water that comes out is also warm, which solves their problem of no water. It's not that there is no water, there is so much snow outside, as long as you boil a handful, you can naturally have water to drink. However, in winter, when the snow is falling, it is not so easy to find dry firewood.
"Don't worry! With Qingying's ability, is there anyone else in this who can hurt her? Thinking of Qingying's poisonous powder and bottles and cans, he really couldn't see anyone who could hurt her in this east with no spiritual power. Unless you encounter a danger formed by the environment, however, as a cultivator, no matter how bad your eyesight is, it won't be so bad that you can't even feel the danger, right?
"That's just as well!" Ziyue nodded, and stayed in the cave with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the three of them to come back.
After a long time, when Ziyue was about to fall asleep, the three of them were still nowhere to be seen. Ziyue had no choice but to go out to have a look, but she saw that there were stars outside, and the heavy snow had long since stopped flying. Because I made some branches to cover the cave and block the wind, it made it not so convenient for the inside to observe the outside.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Ziyue walked a few steps, she saw a big tree, where the three of them were sitting together, and in front of them was a fire made of some branches, and there were some dead branches next to them. As soon as the three of them saw Ziyue, they immediately walked over.
"We came back in the evening, but we couldn't find the entrance to the cave, so we built a fire here, hoping you could see it, but I didn't expect that this wait would be two hours." Qingying smiled helplessly, before going out, he heard the two of them say that they wanted to hide the cave, but this hiding technique is really too good, right? You can't see where the cave is located at all.
"Uh, didn't I build a snowman? Isn't the direction of the grass the location of the cave? Ziyue pointed to the snowman that she had piled up beyond recognition, and after seeing that there was no shadow of grass on the snowman, only a piece of snow was left, she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the snow on this snowman would accumulate so quickly?" ”
"It's okay, let's carry these dead branches into the cave!" Shi Yan shook his head and began to pick up the dead branches on the ground, and the three of them entered the cave under the guidance of Ziyue.
"Uh, you didn't make a fire?" Ruohe took a torch and looked at the dark cave, a little speechless. Even if it's just the two of you, you have to light a fire! No wonder they were outside the cave, why didn't they find the shadow of the cave? In such a dark place, who knows where is the entrance to the cave, there is a place covered with snow everywhere, and it depends on the entrance of the cave, when you come in, you also dig through the snow on it to get in.
"Wait until you get back? You also know that this snow, firewood is not so easy to find, without dry branches, it cannot be used for life at all, let alone in a cave? Ziyue made a high-sounding excuse for herself to doze off and forget to make a fire.
"Alright! There's still some burning outside, so in order not to waste it, I'll go out and move it with the food resent! Ruohe and Shi Resentment turned around and walked out, as for Xuanyuan Yichen, when he got the wild boar in the afternoon, he went out, as for what to do, it is unknown. It was at that time that Ziyue fell asleep in the cave.
However, at this time, Xuanyuan Yichen did not come back, she was also a little worried, and wanted to go out to look for it, but she didn't dare to go out before they came back, lest they couldn't find the cave and slept outside for a night, which was not easy to do, what if she got sick and caught a cold?
"Since you're all back, I'll go cook some hot soup, and in the afternoon, I went out with Yichen to catch some game, eat some broth, and warm up." Ziyue cut a piece with a dagger on the cleaned boar, cut it into pieces, and used it to cook the broth. And the ones they went out to find today, because they were living creatures, they simply tied them together and threw them into the corners of the caves. Fortunately, the cave they found was large enough to squeeze a few more people. What's more, this cave also has a secret passage that can be walked down.
Of course, when Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yichen found out, they didn't go down, so naturally they didn't know what was down there. It is precisely because of this that Xuanyuan Yichen went out to look for things. (To be continued.) )
