Chapter 53: The White Bear and the Mochizuki Eel

Fortunately, Cui Mingtang did not die, when he was salvaged with a net, the intake was not as much as the outlet, the whole person froze, and even the thinking consciousness was frozen.

The ice cave was originally dug by the white bear in the extreme northern cold land, used to lure and prey on the fish that jumped out of the water, and the radius of ten miles was the sphere of influence of this white bear.

Fortunately, there are hunters who chase the white fox in the snow and pass by, knowing that there is an ice cave here, occasionally taking advantage of the white bear hibernation to come and pick up the leak, and the result is a net to go down to salvage a living person, to be precise, it should be half dead, seeing that it can't be lived, and it is brought back to the tribe to roast the fire, and it is to pour soup, and finally a few big men take turns to rub the blood for him with burning knives and spirits, dredge the meridians of the whole body, and finally save it, but the cold enters the body and frostbites the meridians, leaving the root of the cold, and is wearing a white fox fur all year round. I like to drink burning knives to drive away the cold, and the stronger the wine, the better, so there is a porcelain merchant wearing a white fur on the rivers and lakes.

After Cui Mingtang suffered this disaster, he was dragged to the bitter cold land in the extreme north, he knew that the eldest sister Mingwei couldn't afford to wait, and she was restless every day, her mouth was sore, and her temples were getting gray in her black hair.

Fortune and fortune depended, and while chatting with the elders of the Snow Dry Clan, he finally found out the clue of Bing Youlan. The opportunity is here, the original hard looking for Bing Youlan once appeared in the shade of the low snow mountain not far from the ice cave, Cui Mingtang cried with joy, people's lives were at stake, the sky was pitiful, and immediately knelt down and begged the Xuequ tribe to be his guide, and picked up the Bing Youlan and rushed back to Jiatong Pass to treat the eldest sister.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and with the help of the Xuequ people, things are going quite smoothly.

The trouble was the white bear, a predator at the top of the chain of creatures in this bitter cold land, and the hunters of the Snowquill would be horrified when they met it. With the ice cave as the center, a radius of ten miles is its territory, and any creature entering its territory will leave a smell, Cui Mingtang stepped into it recklessly, it happened that it should have gone out to hunt, if it invaded the territory of the overlord of the Extreme North Cold Land again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cui Mingtang begged for a tent with red eyes, but everyone told him not to provoke the white bear, especially the lactating white bear, last night there were snow dry people at the foot of the mountain to hear the roar, followed the sound to find the past, and saw the white bear giving birth to two cubs from a distance, now this white bear takes care of the cubs, licking the calves is deep and alert and sensitive, and no creature can be allowed to approach the low mountain, everyone advised him not to take risks, only wait patiently for a good time,

There are many treasures of heaven and earth, and many fierce beasts are guarded. In fact, Cui Mingwei can't afford to wait, now that the white bear has given birth, Cui Mingtang thinks that it is a rare period of weakness, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait if he misses this opportunity, Cui Mingtang racked his brains and planned.

After staying up for half a night without progress, he couldn't hold it in the second half of the night, he unconsciously dozed off on the desk, and was suddenly woken up by someone in his dream:

"Don't sleep, there's a situation." The Snowquillers live by hunting, and it is not easy to survive in the cold regions of the far north, so they must always be vigilant.

"What's wrong?" Cui Mingtang knew that there were night watchmen in their clan, so he asked.

"A group of strange faces have broken into the territory of the White Bear." Xue Kuhai woke him up, and at the same time carried the steel fork feather arrows, ready to go out.

"It seems that the foreigners who came to Bing Youlan are not only your kid, they are all stupid people who don't want to die, I'm going to tell the elders, don't be impulsive first."

Cui Mingtang couldn't listen to it, without saying a word, he turned out a short knife from his baggage and put it on his waist, and after putting on a fox fur, he quietly followed.

He didn't dare to get too close, so he could only hang from a distance.

In the first half of the night, the wind and snow were mixed, but at this time it was quiet, a full moon hung in the sky, the bright moonlight shone on the snow, the figures of six people were clearly visible, the hooded animal skin coats covered the figures, all wearing thick masks, this group of people hid their tracks along the way, tiptoed into the vicinity of the low mountain, and seemed to be prepared.

......The lactating white bear was really sensitive, smelled the breath of a foreign body, and roared angrily, which shook Cui Mingtang's ears as if thunder, buzzing, blood and qi in his chest surged, and cold sweat broke out on his back, thinking of the words of the old man of the Snow Wither Clan, just the roar shook ten miles, this beast is really not easy to mess with.

Among the group that rushed to the front, one person was knocked to the ground by the roar, his ears were bleeding, another person covered his ears and endured in pain, and the others were in a half-squatting position and carried the sonic impact.

Cui Mingtang's body was unstable, and he was about to fall to the ground after a few swings, but fortunately, Xue Kuhai held him up behind him, and scolded in a low voice: "You kid don't want to die, don't affect our Xue Ku clan." Whether it's the angry White Bear or this group of people of unknown origin, we Snowquills can't afford to mess with them. ”

"Brother Xueku, let's wait and see what happens, I think this group of foreigners is prepared, let them deal with that white bear." Cui Mingtang knew that he was at a loss, and it was difficult to argue, but he still hoped that the Snow Wither Clan could help him pick the Ice Orchid.

"The information is wrong, I haven't heard of a bear guarding the Ice Orchid." A few people finally stood firm, and they discussed with each other with their eyes.

"It seems that if you don't slaughter this animal, you won't be able to pick the ice orchid. The second and third are in ambush at the entrance of the cave, with iron clamps and tripping ropes, the fourth and I lure it at the entrance of the cave, the fifth prepares anesthesia and a strong crossbow, and the sixth sees the opportunity to pick the ice orchid. One of them commanded in a deep voice with gestures, and the six people were ready to fight with the white bear, looking at their body movements and neatness, the division of labor was clear and well-equipped, and the secret combination of attacks between actions, especially the sword in the hand, was glowing with cold light, it should be poisonous.

Before they could settle down, they saw a white shadow like a hill rushing out, the speed was incredible, and the tripping rope was knocked away at once, and the two named the second and third were hung on the chain like grasshoppers, and the white bear threw the tripping horse rope in his hand and threw it in the air, and the two did not dare to let go.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh" two crossbow arrows were shot at the white bear's feet, and they hoped that it could slow down its movement, but the effect was not obvious.

"Boss, this beast has rough skin and thick meat, crossbow arrows can't get into the meat, and anesthetics can't work." At this time, the figure of Lao Wu was hidden behind a boulder, but his voice revealed anxiety.

Everyone looked at it, good fellow, the whole body was snow-white, the body was like a mountain, the eyes were as wide as lamps, the two fangs were protruding because of anger, and the white bear waved the tripwire and slapped the ground, like a whip, and smashed it to the ground.

The scene of the white bear dancing chains is deeply imprinted in Cui Mingtang's mind, seemingly unorganized, simple and rough but full of power and beauty, the most important thing is that you can't hear the sound of breaking the wind, which is quite ingenious, this artistic conception is the bear shape in the kiln handle, and the absolute power is vividly displayed by it.

"No matter, let's hold it, the sixth hurries to pick the ice orchid." The early stage of this operation was too smooth, but they didn't expect that the danger was at the end, and they couldn't allow them to complain, so they had to bite the bullet and go around to the end.

"Ah....." As he spoke, he saw a person on the tripping rope and couldn't hold on, he was thrown the low mountain, the clicking sound sounded, and the sound of broken tendons sounded particularly crisp in the quiet night sky.

The other was thrown farther away, and after a mile in the air, he fell heavily into the snow and passed out. Xue Kuhai made a gesture behind him, and two hunters quietly touched it behind him, and slashed at the neck, and blood came out at once, staining a large pool of red.

"I'll entangle it first, you go around to the left to find a position to attack with crossbow arrows, remember to shoot its eyes, and give the sixth child time to delay." The boss anxiously ordered, he guessed that the eyes were not protected by fur, they should be vulnerable parts, and before he finished speaking, he brandished a scimitar and rushed in front of the white bear.

shouted, "Good brute, let grandpa send you on your way." "This person is really good at fists and feet, his body is like a dragon, his feet are flashing and moving, and he can fight with the white bear for a while, and the fourth child is also tacitly harassing and sneaking attacks on the other side.

"That's the personal saber of the Beihu King Tent Dragoon." The moon-shaped scimitar was the most suitable for the release of cavalry shock power, and it was a sharp weapon for the Northern Hu Iron Cavalry to conquer the grassland, and he noticed that the surface of the leader's scimitar was cast with a moire beast, and the sword was sharp, which should be made of a mixture of the finest Uzi steel ingots and cold iron.

"Shh Xue Kuhai motioned for him not to make a sound, and the two of them quietly touched the direction of the low mountain in front of them.

I saw the fourth man holding a scimitar and slashing at the back of the white bear, cutting down obliquely with all his strength, sparks splashed, the white bear was in pain, two white gases erupted from his nostrils, and he turned around and waved his palm, just rubbing half of his shoulder, and blood splashed everywhere in an instant, tattered, as fragile as paper paste.

"Fourth, go around the back and take a look in the cave. This beast is extraordinarily ferocious, if it's either estrus or lactation, either way, we're unlucky enough. The boss rolled to the ground, took advantage of the situation, and shouted loudly.

The secret guard named Lao Si endured the pain, got up and staggered into the hole, the white bear seemed to have discovered their attempt, instantly abandoned the leader of the dark guard in front of him, turned around and chased after him, rushed into the cave with a gust of wind, and slapped him to death, blood and flesh mixed together, like mud flowing to the ground.

The stomachs of everyone who saw this scene churned, and Cui Mingtang was afraid for a while, but fortunately he was not impulsive, otherwise he would be the one who was slapped into meat paste.

Seeing this opportunity, the leader of the dark guard caught up and stepped on the stone wall on the right side of the white bear, and flipped over the top of its head with the help of the air, only to see a flash of cold light, the white bear's right eye burst out of blood, and in the blink of an eye, half of the body was dyed red, and the white bear was blinded by one eye, which greatly reduced its combat power, and the dark guard named Lao Wu also rushed in, and the crossbow arrows were all shot in its face.

After being injured, the white bear was ferocious, kicked out a big nest with force under his feet, and his whole body pounced, faster than before, and knocked the leader of the dark guard into the air with both palms, hitting the stone wall, and happened to be pierced through the back by the protruding stone on the stone wall, and blood mixed with intestines flowed out along the stone wall.

The fifth guard saw the leader hanging on the stone wall, the tip of the stone passed through his chest, his face was full of pain, and his internal organs flowed to the ground, and his feet were the bear's den, two plush bear cubs were sleeping, since he couldn't deal with the white bear, he shifted the target to kill the bear cub first, he frantically pulled the trigger of the crossbow arrow, thinking about shooting the two bear cubs first to avenge the brothers, never thought that the white bear was extremely alert, and chose to pounce sideways to block the crossbow arrow with his body, and was hit by two arrows in the face, and fell heavily to the ground.

Cui Mingtang saw this white bear sacrifice himself to save his son, and he could feel the deep love of licking the calf, thinking that birds and beasts are like this, let alone people.

After waiting for a while, he saw the white bear lying on the ground and did not move, thinking that the anesthetic had worked, so he cautiously approached, trying to save the leader hanging on the stone wall.......

Although the fighting was tragic and both sides suffered heavy casualties, everything happened between lightning and flint, and it was too late to think about it in the case of hand-to-hand combat.

The sea of snow withering was still guarding the periphery, staring at the sixth child who went to pick the ice orchid, Cui Mingtang looked at the miserable end of the fifth child of the dark guard, thinking that he would be caught off guard if he changed just now, the white bear was estimated to be really poisoned this time, and he struggled a few times and never got up again, the scimitar was smeared with poison, and the face was hit by an arrow, and the poison directly invaded the brain, and the nervous system had been destroyed. Cui Mingtang tiptoed closer, and fell in love with the scimitar made of Uzi steel ingots, but the poor leader of the secret guard who was nailed to the stone wall was still not completely dead, looking at Cui Mingtang who was quietly approaching, his lips moved, and a strange smile was revealed on his face.....

"Dying, uncle, I don't know you like you." Cui Mingtang ignored the oozing smiling face, broke his fingers and took the scimitar in his hand, and couldn't help but wave it twice, bringing a cold light,

"Good knives, good knives."

"For the sake of seeing the treasure knife, I will give you a good time." Cui Mingtang wiped it with his knife, and a head rolled to the ground.

Looking around the cave, except for a few frozen fish piled up in the corner, there were only two newborn cubs left, thinking about the situation just now when the white bear blocked the crossbow arrows with his face and desperately wanted to protect the bear cubs, Cui Mingtang hesitated.

"Forget it, you two are also unlucky, you were born without a mother, and no one takes care of you Most of them can't survive in this icy and snowy place." Cui Mingtang said as he picked them up.

The white bear lying on the ground looked at the cub in Cui Mingtang's arms with nostalgia, one eye was gurgling and bleeding, and the other eye was full of reluctance, the cub who was born less than two days ago had not yet opened its eyes, and its body was wrapped in a layer of fur, the whole body was transparent, and the slender blood vessels were faintly visible, Cui Mingtang couldn't help but tease it, thinking that such a little guy would grow into a giant beast like a white bear in the future, it was incredible. Suddenly felt a gust of cold wind hit the door, like a knife cutting white paper, looking up was greeted by a bear paw as big as a millstone, "my life is resting" A sentence flashed in his mind, and he closed his eyes as if he was fated, and the wind whistled through his ears, rumbling.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the bear paw slap, and I didn't hear the crisp sound of my brain cracking, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that in front of my nose was the big eyeballs like white bear lamps, still reluctant to look at the cub in his arms, and the giant palm with a grinding plate was suppressed on the Mochizuki eel behind Cui Mingtang, and a huge eel head was smashed into several pieces, one of which was still embedded in its bear paw with sharp fangs, and the blood was splashed on the ground, and the headless body was still writhing unconsciously, which was long enough to look very penetrating.

Cui Mingtang experienced many deaths in one night, full of dangers, his little heart was so frightened that he was beating wildly, and he wanted to leave this dangerous place quickly, but his legs trembled and weakened, and he couldn't lift his strength for a while.

It wasn't until a few people brought the body of the Mochizuki eel back to the Xuequ clan that they learned from the elder's mouth that the Mochizuki eel resembling a giant python only exists in the oral story of the Xuekure tribe, and this kind of spiritual creature will only surface when the moon is full.

It is estimated that this beast smelled the strong bloody breath and couldn't help but come out to forage, usually did not dare to invade the territory of the white bear, the two beasts hated each other extraordinarily, the king did not see the king, and they could still be safe, if they met, it would be an extremely dangerous life-and-death struggle.

Cui Mingtang felt that he had wandered around the ghost gate again, thanks to the white bear cub in his arms, he was able to escape death. Looking at the two strange beasts dying around him, there was only fear in his heart, and he finally slowly came back to his senses, and the human egg was dead, and he would not die for thousands of years.

"Cui Mingtang, let's go, Bing Youlan got it." Outside, there was the anxious shouts of the sea of snow withering.

The snow withered sea didn't see Cui Mingtang come out, thinking that this kid was dead inside, so he carefully touched into the hole, when he saw the tragic situation inside, he suddenly figured out why the sixth child who picked the ice orchid kept a strange expression and died, half surprise mixed with half fear, the surprise must be the ice orchid at your fingertips, but what is the fear? His expression seemed to have seen an indescribable fear, and when he saw the moon eel behind Cui Mingtang, he instantly figured it out, and died instantly when he was too frightened.

As for how Mochizuki Eel killed the sixth Dark Guard in an instant, it is unknown, anyway, in the end, he was cheapened by Xue Kuhai in vain.

"With your guts, you dare to shout at the bear's mouth to grab the flowers, look at it scares you, and you should leave quickly." Xue Kuhai watched Cui Mingtang standing there stiffly with two bear cubs in his arms, his legs slightly bent and his body leaning back, so he laughed at him.

"Come and help my buddy, if it wasn't for the white bear's palm just now, I would have really explained here, and my legs and stomach are still trembling, and I can't walk." Cui Mingtang didn't care about being ridiculed by it, and told the details truthfully.

The other two hunters of the snow wither tribe also entered the cave, and saw that the cave was full of messes, and there were two strange beasts that died together, and after a short period of consternation, their hearts were ecstatic, the white bear and the Mochizuki eel were simply a bumper harvest, and this bear skin alone was a good commodity that had not been seen for decades.

After the four of them cleaned up the cave first, they dragged the Mochizuki eel back to the clan overnight, and after discussing with the elders of the clan the next day, the strong men of the whole clan went out to drag the white bear back to the clan together.

At night, another snowstorm unexpectedly came, hiding everything under a thick layer of snow.......
