Ding Qi held a tribal meeting again, and after learning about the development of the tribe, Ding Qi made arrangements.

Ding Qi will take Ben out for a trip, during the time he left, the elder Buck temporarily took the lead of the responsibility, the deer duty remained unchanged, Cang led the hunting team to continue military training, and at the same time made a good daily watchtower duty arrangement, to ensure that the first time the enemy situation was discovered, let all personnel enter the courtyard for defense.

The support group can dispatch slave team personnel to speed up the production process of animal skin backpacks, and make 31 backpacks within five days as soon as possible, subject to Ben's backpack style, which is a 3D backpack designed by Ding Qi according to the existing materials and production level, and the first user is Ben.

The next day, there was no wind and the sky seemed a little overcast.

After a full meal, Ding Qi wore mink clothes, a newly made animal skin Lei Feng hat, and thick leather gloves in his hands, carrying his backpack and his own weapons, stepping on skis and snowboards, rushing down the snow slope. Ben was also well-dressed, carrying a basket on his back, and Jin fluttered his wings in the sky, while the other three King Kong remained in the tribe.

The two of them were fully equipped for this trip, especially two ropes and the like, mainly because they were worried about accidents on the road. As for the clay pots and bowls for cooking, they have become essential tools for two people to travel. And Ben also has an extra knife on his body, which is a straight knife created by Ding Qi after returning from the Force Tribe, taking advantage of the scattered time to smelt the meteorite iron he got before. The straight knife is like a dagger, and the construction is very simple, there are two in total, and the other Tinch was given to the buck. This was created by Ding Qi with the help of a vice and two bronze axes, and without the right tools, only Ding Qi himself knew the hardships.

Ding Qi was going in the same direction he had come from when he had found this basin before, and he was going to find the two tribes he had encountered at that time. The purpose of finding these two tribes was twofold, one was to contact the tribe wearing feathers at the time to increase the potential trading partners, and the other was to find the cannibal tribe and confirm whether it was the one who attacked their own tribe.

With the help of skis, the two of them were fast at first, 20 meters apart from each other, keeping a safe distance. But as they got farther and farther away from the tribe, the two, who were unfamiliar with the road conditions, gradually slowed down and groped their way forward. Ding Qi can only judge the direction based on his own impressions and the surrounding scenery, and at the same time, Ding Qi will use a mountain opener to cut arrow marks on the big trees he passes by every other distance to indicate the direction he came.

In winter, it gets dark quickly, especially against the background of the black snow, which feels darker faster, and the two have to prepare a camping place in advance. But there was no shelter around, not even a shelter from the cold wind. There was no way, Ding Qi could only take out a military shovel, collect the surrounding black snow and build a snow wall on the spot, Ben went to collect firewood, prepare to make a fire for cooking, and see if he could hunt some wild animals.

The snow is currently more than half a meter deep, and when it comes to digging to the bottom, a handful of dead grass is grabbed from underneath. The grass was a little damp, and Tinch stuffed it into his crotch, ready to use his body heat to warm it up and make a fire.

Ding Qi shoveled up the snow and piled it up, clearing out a piece of about five or six square meters. The height of the snow wall was not enough, so he shoveled the snow again from the other side and piled it on the snow wall, and patted it with a short shovel, and a snow wall one and a half meters high and two meters long was formed.

Afterwards, Ding Qi took out the tent in his backpack that had not been used for a long time and put it on the leeward side behind the snow wall, and nailed the tent firmly with ground nails. The tent was a little small, but it was big enough for two people, so I covered it with a moisture-proof mat and a hide, and took out the only sleeping bag, and instantly felt warm inside.

Not long after, Ben came from a distance, dragging two large dead branches in his hand, and a grouse in front of him, with a proud face.

"Chief, you see, it is good luck that when I was cutting down a tree, I startled a grouse, and I shot it with an arrow, so that there will be fresh meat to eat in the evening."

Ding Qi praised him twice, being able to eat fresh meat is better than eating jerky. The two of them only carried ten days of venison jerky in their backpacks, which was still the amount that Ding Qi had brought for three more days, so it was better to hunt more.

However, Ben, who came back, was attracted by the tent behind the snow wall, looked shocked, and couldn't help but ask Ding Qi what this was. Unable to resist his curiosity, Ding Qi had to say that it was a gift from the gods, and that he had been rewarded to Ding Qi for his own contributions to the tribe.

Ben instantly fell to his knees, kowtowed to the tent incessantly, and was kicked aside by Ding Qi to start a fire.

Ben used an axe to chop the dead branches into small pieces, and Ding Qi took out the hay nested in the crotch of his pants, which made Ben's eyes light up again, and he instantly understood Ding Qi's intention, and he could even dry the wet grass like this.

Just when Ben took out the bow drill and was about to drill wood to make fire, Ding Qi took out the magnesium rod on the straight knife, scraped off a layer of magnesium powder on the hay with the back of the knife, and then quickly scraped the magnesium rod to form a spark, and quickly ignited the hay. At this time, Ben was once again shocked to the point of incomprehension, and for this kind of thing that generated sparks out of thin air and ignited the hay, he directly bowed down again.

Ding Qi didn't bother to take care of him, there was a ball of hay in his hand, if he couldn't light the firewood in time, the two of them would have to gnaw on dried meat tonight. Quickly place some small firewood on the burning hay, and the small campfire slowly burns and gradually grows in size to light up the camp.

After dinner, the two of them packed up and prepared to go to bed, because there was a sleeping bag, Ding Qi gave his animal skin quilt to Ben to use, and the two layers of animal skin must be warmer. And Xiao Jin also got in after eating the guts of the grouse and felt the warmth.

There were two animal skin clothes in front of the bonfire, which were when the two of them were marching today, and they accidentally did not control the amount of exercise and caused their bodies to sweat and wet the animal skin clothes. Fortunately, when I was sweating, it was close to the two of them looking for a campsite, and it was not too late. If the sweating time is long and not dealt with in time, then the human body is very prone to hypothermia, and the body loses a lot of heat, which eventually leads to hypothermia and death.

The heat from the campfire is reflected into the tent by the snow wall and two animal skin suits, dissipating the chill inside. The two talked softly, mainly Ding Qi was talking and Ben was listening. Ding Qi mainly talked about the precautions for snow travel, including the construction of camps, the acquisition of fire sources, wind and cold protection measures, etc., especially the snow drift huts, snow nests and snow caves that can keep warm.

Ben listened very carefully, rarely interjected to interrupt Ding Qi's explanation, and high-fived him when he heard the highlights.

Just as Ding Qi was explaining there, a faint sound of snow treading came to Ding Qi's ears along the wind. Ding Qi's ears moved, and he understood that it was the sound of a nocturnal animal stepping on the snow, although the other party walked silently, but the creaking sound made by its body pressing on the snow was accidentally transmitted. The other party may have been attracted by the smell of blood left by the grouse that ran to kill, and the animal that walked alone at night was most likely a feline.

Hush!

Ding Qi motioned for Ben not to make a sound, got up and took out the flashlight from his backpack, loaded the battery, fastened his bow, mounted the arrow, and listened carefully to the other party's movements next to the tent door.

It was still approaching, and the sound of stomping on the snow was not too loud, indicating that the other party's weight was lighter, not a large beast such as a saber-toothed tiger, etc., which made Ding Qi's heart feel relieved. Probably due to the presence of fire, the other party walked very hesitantly, and from time to time he was tempting.

After judging the other party's position again, Ding Qi quickly got out of the tent and shone the flashlight in his hand in the direction of the nocturnal animal.

Under the astigmatism of the flashlight, a lynx froze in place, apparently frightened by the sudden appearance of the light. Just when Ding Qi hesitated to shoot the other party, the lynx was like a frightened wild cat, wow, and quickly turned its head and rushed into the darkness, hanging Ding Qi who was about to shoot there, and Ding Qi was stunned for a while.

Ding Qi came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, this lynx was simple enough, and he turned around and ran away without giving himself a chance, so that Ding Qi's wish to get a thick warm animal skin was frustrated. The bearskin that I had obtained had been disposed of and placed in the Dingqi hut, with a lot of light with Buck and Ben, not to mention how comfortable it was to sleep on it at night. The lynx skin is not inferior to the bear skin, and it is softer and warmer than the bear skin after tanning.

A false alarm!

Ding Qi hurriedly got into the tent, and for a while, he felt a chill hit his body, and he could imagine how cold it was outside, it was possible to reach minus 25 degrees, and it had already caught up with the temperature of the three northeastern provinces in winter.

At night, Ding Qi and the two took turns keeping vigil, and no other wild beasts broke into the vicinity of this camp, which allowed the two to sleep peacefully.

In the morning, the two quickly packed up, and after eating, they stepped on their skis and moved quickly in the direction they had identified. And the sky is also overcast, and occasionally two snowflakes fall, indicating that a heavy snow is coming. And this time the snowflakes are no longer like the previous black snow, but the normal snowflake color.

The two of them quickly waved their arms and slid in the predetermined direction. Towards noon, the snowflakes were already getting bigger, and after the two of them hurriedly nibbled on some dried meat, they continued to walk on the snowflakes.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sight is greatly affected, and the snow covers the whole world, which is much more comfortable than the previous scene. Just as Tinki was looking around, about to find a suitable campsite, there was a click, followed by an exclamation from Ben.

Ding Qi quickly turned his head to look, only to see Ben lying on the snow, screaming in his mouth, as if he had stepped into a deep snow nest.

"Chief, don't come here, step on the ice, step into the water."

Hearing that this was the case, Ding Qi quickly put down his backpack, took out a rope from it, and threw it towards Ben. The first time it didn't reach him, Tinch tried to throw it twice, and Ben finally grabbed the rope. The two of them worked together to pull Ben out, only to see that his right foot and trouser leg were already soaked.

It seems that Ben's luck was a bit back, his right foot broke free from the binding of the ski rope, and he stepped on the ice and fell into the water. Fortunately, he reacted in time, and there was the protection of the skis, so that he didn't fall into it entirely, otherwise the two of them would have had a lot of fun.

There seem to be too many dangers lurking under the snow, and a moment of carelessness can bring danger.

The two hurried away from the danger zone to a small wood, cleared a clearing with a short shovel, and lit a bonfire with the dead branches they had collected. Fortunately, Ding Qi was relatively well prepared, and there were two large clumps of dead grass hidden in his backpack, which he had dried by the fire last night.

The bonfire burned, and Ding Qi's hanging heart also relaxed, and he quickly let Ben take off the animal skin pants, first use the bonfire to dry himself, and then dry the animal skin pants in his hand, until Ding Qi was completely relieved after putting them on.
