Chapter 82: Hungry Beasts
Because it is in the deep mountains and old forests, although the hut is sturdy, it does not mean that it is very safe, and I am not afraid of being interrupted when I practice physical arts, but there is no space for cultivation in the hut. And when cultivating the ability, if you are meditating to absorb the ability in the crystal nucleus, and someone abruptly interrupts it, you are afraid that you will be in danger of going mad. So since he came out to do the task, Su Ruoji has been cultivating in the jade pendant space, but he goes out of the hut when he sleeps.
Late that night, when Su Ruoji came out to sleep after finishing his cultivation, he only felt that the howling wind outside the hut seemed to be stronger. At this time, the temperature inside the hut also dropped to about 10 degrees, and in the mountains and forests outside, the temperature would definitely not be higher than minus 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature in the hut Su Ruoji only felt very comfortable, and she went into the bedroom to sleep.
Sleeping in a hut is completely different from sleeping in the jade pendant space, and Su Ruoji will always maintain a sense of vigilance or two outside, not daring to be in a state of deep sleep like in the jade pendant space. Of course, in this state, the quality of sleep will not be very good, but fortunately, the cultivator's physique is very good, otherwise she will definitely feel very tired after a few days. But she lives in this dangerous world, and she can only adapt to this world, which is why she has to go out to sleep.
After sleeping for about four or five hours, Su Ruoji woke up according to his usual biological clock habits. It was quiet inside the hut, so she could faintly hear the wind howling outside, and look at the alchemy watch in her hand, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning. Su Ruoji listened attentively and felt that the wind outside the hut was not worse than last night, and even seemed to be stronger.
After having breakfast in the jade pendant space, Su Ruoji replaced the padded cloak, which was not very warm yesterday, with a cloak of alien beast fur with excellent warmth. Because the hut is made of space stones and other ores, it can isolate others from perceiving all the breath in the hut, and it also prevents her spiritual abilities from being released.
In the hut, she could only "see" about two hundred meters around the hut at most. Su Ruoji himself didn't understand why he could "see" so far from the jade pendant space, but he couldn't see far from the hut, whether it was because the jade pendant space was a spiritual creature and he recognized her as the master. Because he couldn't "see" far from the hut, every time Su Ruoji left the hut, he would open a small fist-sized window on the wall of the hut, and spread his spiritual power out of the small window, "scanning" the situation around the hut, and "seeing" whether there was any danger around.
Su Ruoji first "saw" the dark sky outside, with the wind blowing snowflakes flying all over the sky, and "looking" felt that the momentum was amazing. She had never seen such a big snowstorm before, and the range of her spiritual and mental power "seeing" was pressed to within 500 meters. In this kind of weather, Su Ruoji couldn't help but suspect that he would go out, and if he didn't use the heavy fall method, he would definitely be blown away by the wind.
I don't think there will be anyone going out to do tasks in this kind of weather, it's a strange beast, and there is no shadow in sight. With such a heavy snowstorm, even if she went out to hurry, she was afraid that after a hard day, the distance she walked would be less than one-third of the previous one. Su Ruoji thought for a while, so he simply didn't waste time fighting against the bad weather, just closed his retreat and cultivated, and then went out after this snowstorm.
Su Ruoji didn't expect her to hide for nearly twenty days, and for the first time she realized how terrible the blizzard in the north was. She originally thought that the snowstorm would stop after three or five days as before, but who knew that the snowstorm would blow for more than half a month. Among them, her hut was half buried by snow several times, which made Su Ruoji have to brave the wind and snow to go out and shovel the snow around the hut so that the hut would not be completely buried by snow.
Sure enough, the gusts of wind outside blew and rolled so much that she had to use the body technique of a jack drop to not be blown away by the wind. Moreover, the weather outside was too cold, she had to put on a thick cotton coat before she dared to go out, and when shoveling snow, she had to bring gloves from her brother because it was too cold.
This violent snowstorm raged for more than half a month before it stopped, and Su Ruoji didn't know if this kind of snowstorm was common in winter because he was not familiar with this northern land. However, seeing that most of the trees towering in the mountains have withstood the ravages of the blizzard, Su Ruoji guessed that he was afraid that this kind of blizzard was not uncommon in winter, otherwise these trees would be uplifted.
However, although the snowstorm stopped, the temperature was still extremely low, when Su Ruoji first entered the mountain, there was only a thin layer of snow on the mountain road, after this snowstorm, the snow in some places in the mountains and forests was as thick as Su Ruoji's chest, and the thinner ones were as thick as his thighs, which made Su Ruoji have to use the light body method to hurry along the way.
Although the speed of rushing this way is about the same as before the blizzard, it is much more tiring. Therefore, she felt tired after running for half a day before, and now Su Ruoji has to stop and rest for a while every time she climbs a mountain, about two hours later.
For most of the past half a month, Su Ruoji's jade pendant space has stored abundant food, so she eats and drinks spicy food in addition to cultivation, and her small life is very comfortable. However, the vast majority of alien beasts do not have the habit of storing food, and it is conceivable that because of the snowstorm for more than half a month, those alien beasts who can't come out to hunt will be hungry for more than half a month.
When Su Ruoji set off early in the morning, it was still very quiet in the mountains and forests, but in less than half an hour, he suddenly found that the strange beasts between the mountains and forests suddenly increased, and he saw the hunting scene of strong eating weak meat at every turn. Because there are too many strange beasts, generally under the route that does not affect her progress, Su Ruoji can dodge everything, but because too many foreign beasts come out to hunt for food, sometimes Su Ruoji can't avoid it, as long as it is not a fifth-level foreign beast, she will pull her sword up.
Before this blizzard came, Su Ruoji hadn't encountered a fifth-level beast along the way, but on this day, she had encountered two. One of the fifth-level alien beasts was an alien wolf beast with an extremely keen sense of smell, although she covered up the aura on her body and also hid behind a big tree, but this fifth-level alien wolf beast keenly "smelled" her, and salivated at her.
Su Ruoji had also killed a third-level alien wolf ** before, and knew that the attack speed of this alien beast was very fast, and with her current martial arts level, her swordsmanship could not defeat this fifth-level alien wolf beast at all. So when this fifth-level alien wolf beast pounced, Su Ruoji turned his spiritual power into a spike and fiercely "stabbed" into the mind of the fifth-level alien beast.
The figure of the fifth-level alien wolf beast pounced on it for a moment, opened its mouth and roared, and trembled all over, Su Ruoji took the opportunity to pounce, and the long sword slashed fiercely at the neck of the fifth-level alien wolf beast. However, the neck of the fifth-level alien wolf beast was much harder than she estimated, and she slashed so hard, but it only cut a wound that was not too deep, and did not cause fatal damage, but because of the pain, the chaotic mind of the fifth-level alien wolf beast woke up, and it moved extremely quickly and pounced towards Su Ruoji......
