A thousand-meter-high snow-capped mountain, stretching northward, seems to be endless, and the light snow that keeps falling in the sky makes every qiē hazy, adding to the mystery of this snow-capped mountain.

The howling cold wind blew on people's faces like knives and pain, and everyone had red cheeks and noses, snow-white eyebrows, and ice cubes hanging from them. When they came here, everyone also reduced their speech, because the cold air entered the body, and even the stomach and intestines were slightly painful.

The snow on the ground is several meters thick, there are no roads at all, and if a person falls into it, he is quickly covered with snow and cannot even find any traces. The path Wang Baoyu had taken was just the traces left by the beast's walking, and the road ahead was obviously a place that the beast did not want to set foot on.

"Baoyu, you must be optimistic about the direction, if you fall into this place, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return." Xu Shu reminded.

Wang Baoyu naturally knew the importance of the matter, took out the rough map given to him by Qingchengzi, roughly compared it, and nodded: "This should be Xuanwu Mountain, looking at the map is a semi-arc direction, the end of this mountain is not far away, which is our destination this time." ”

The length of this mountain range cannot be seen from the map at all, according to Wang Baoyu's own guess, the total length of this mountain range should be more than 2,000 li, and the snow is so deep that even with the help of reindeer, I am afraid that I can only walk about 200 miles a day, that is, it will take at least ten days to get out of this vast and dead land.

The reindeer's head let out a cry, Zhang Qiying wrapped in a thick animal skin, showing a small head, and translated: "The reindeer said that this is a sacred mountain, and they dare not set foot on it, hoping to let them go." ”

Everyone let out an exclamation in unison, the reindeer not only have the strength of their feet, but also have body temperature, and if they leave here, they don't know how many days they will have to walk just by taking steps with their feet.

Wang Baoyu also refused to agree, and said with a cold face: "Yingzi, you sue them, you must follow us forward, otherwise, you can only turn them into food." ”

Zhang Qiying learned the sound of the reindeer and translated Wang Baoyu's words, and the reindeer expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, because offending the gods is also a dead end for them, not slack, and they hope to be understood.

The biggest reindeer was even more restless, chirping incessantly, and bargaining with Wang Baoyu. Wang Baoyu would not let go, so Zhang Qiying did not have to be polite, and told them in a tough tone that if he offended the gods, he might not die, but if he offended him, this is the place where the bones are abandoned, and it is better to be decided.

Faced with the huge threat of the Wind Tiger and the White Flame Ox, the reindeer could only reluctantly agree, but said that they would supplement their nutrition, otherwise, they would definitely die halfway.

Later, the reindeer herd led everyone to run more than ten miles away, and found a place where a large number of deer were buried, Wang Baoyu instructed the soldiers to prepare enough venison for ten days, during this time, guarding the reindeer to eat venison, even he felt very cruel, like a wild beast.

The reindeer ate the dried leaves that had been exposed on the snow for a day, and after resting for a night, they began to officially march towards Xuanwu Mountain.

The reindeer have a much stronger experience of survival in the wild than humans, the snow at the bottom of the valley is deep, not suitable for walking, and prone to danger, the reindeer choose to move forward in the middle of the mountain, no longer running with their hooves, but walking forward step by step, only in this way can their bodies not be consumed too quickly.

The weather was so cold that the exhaled breath turned into a white mist, and the soldiers sat for a while and then came down and walked for a while, or their feet would be frozen.

Of course, the staple food is only venison, and no matter how good things are, they can't stand eating it every day, and many people vomit when they smell venison, only to wait until they are hungry and hungry to eat.

"Feiyun Mouse, isn't the environment here not as good as your desert island?" On the way, Wang Baoyu did not forget to joke with the flying cloud mouse to relieve his boredom.

"Hehe, that's true. At least there were fresh leaves and grass on the island. My brother didn't know that the rhizome of the grass was very thick, and it was sweet and silky in the mouth, which was a bit like, yes, the feeling of fish. Feiyun Mouse finally smiled, chattering with Wang Baoyu about the interesting things in the past, "Xiaowan, I like to eat this kind of grass root the most, and after I dug it up, I always lied to her that I was full." Hehe, seeing Xiaowan eat so sweetly, I am happy to be hungry. ”

At the mention of Xiaowan, Feiyun Mouse's eyes were moist again, but he didn't dare to cry anymore, because his face would be cried.

After a few days of stopping, the weather became more and more moody, and the wind mixed with heavy snow constantly attacked Wang Baoyu's expeditionary force, and nature launched one severe test after another.

Xiao Qiao always sat on the back of the tiger behind Wang Baoyu, and she finally realized the reason why this man was reluctant to take her out, this was not a place where humans could survive at all, she could only wrap in animal skins and lean on Wang Baoyu's back to keep warm.

The harsh climate caused the skin on the soldiers' faces to freeze and crack, and every breath was painful and tortured to the nasal cavity, and they could only breathe through their mouths every once in a while, alternating between them. If it weren't for the preparation of a large number of cold-proof animal skins, in less than half an hour, they would have been completely frozen into frozen corpses that could be preserved for thousands of years.

After a week of such a difficult walk, the expeditionary force found a sheltered place from the wind, stopped to rest, and prepared almost enough dry firewood, but fortunately some branches could be found on the hillside to make a fire for warmth.

The night gradually came, Wang Baoyu opened the magic weapon of the flying house again, entered the grass house, and beckoned Xu Shu and others to come in and drink a cup of hot tea, this expedition is undoubtedly the most difficult one, he can only silently pray for God's blessing, don't let this trip be empty.

After eating a few pieces of venison, everyone lay down in their clothes, and no one spoke, and no one knew what kind of test they would face tomorrow.

The next day, accompanied by the reindeer, everyone continued to brave the wind and snow to make it difficult, but it seemed that after walking for long, it became dark.

"Why are the days so short?" Xu Shu asked.

"Maybe we have entered the Arctic Circle, but I'm afraid that during this time, there will be no daylight at all." Wang Baoyu said helplessly.

Ice and Snow Continent, endless night, which made everyone's hearts immediately hang, Wang Baoyu looked at the starry sky, and had no choice but to say to Yufeng Hu: "Old man, I know that your eyes can also see in the night, and you can only lead the team in the future." ”

Yufeng Hu nodded, resolutely walked ahead, Wang Baoyu ordered the army to continue to move forward in the dark night, of course, if they wait here for a while, the sun will not set day, but the food preparation is not enough, you must do your best to get out of the Xuanwu Mountain, once close to the Arctic Ocean, you can have fish to fill your stomach.

The Wind Tiger and the White Flame Ox led the reindeer herd and the expeditionary force, constantly moving forward in the endless dark night, Zhang Qiying's eagle was useless, in such a cold place, it was so cold that it couldn't stretch its wings, and it didn't dare to fly into the air at all.
