Chapter 16 The weather will get colder and colder
The weather is getting colder and colder, the temperature is dropping, and every morning when I wake up, the water is covered with ice, and every day a tree man falls to the ground or does not wake up and becomes a real tree.
Treants have no natural predators, but they are no match for the icy weather.
Wei Shu began to think of a way for them, first weaving straw mats out of dry grass and wrapping them around the bodies of these tree people, which was how people protected street trees before humans stopped from time to time.
In addition to this, it is possible to brush some lime water, but where to find lime now?
Every night, large and small bonfires are lit in the community of the Treants, otherwise the water inside the Treants will freeze.
The leaves on the canopy of the tree are constantly falling off, and it looks as if a middle-aged person is bald, which is a very serious situation, and the loss of leaves will reduce the efficiency of photosynthesis, just like the loss of human teeth, which is a very serious situation.
Wei Shu was actively trying to find a way, but the tree people were not the kind of animals and plants suitable for long journeys.
Thankfully, the Treants are more resilient than humans, and no matter what happens, even if the last Treant is left in the entire population, they will continue to travel south until they reach the southernmost part of the Northern Continent.
However, this is just an extravagant hope, there are tree people dying every day, and reaching the southernmost part, Wei Wei expects that it will take more than a year, not to mention, the temperature is still dropping, now even at noon, the temperature is only 10 degrees, and the night temperature has dropped to minus 30 degrees.
Every morning the tree-people wake up to find that a companion has become a real tree, but they are convinced that when the climate warms, they will come back to life.
Until the end, the last tree man fell to the ground, it was not dead, it was still advancing, it was Wei Shu who was carrying it forward!
"Don't die!" Wei Shu kept encouraging the much-thinned tree man on his shoulders.
That being said, but Wei Shu is like carrying a fallen five-story building forward, each step will leave a footprint on the frozen land, more than a hundred years of uninterrupted training has made Wei Wei very strong, the human limiter has been unlocked, the strength can grow infinitely, and the human race, there is no limit.
Tree people are different from animals, as long as one survives, it will be able to reproduce into a race sooner or later, but unfortunately, the tree man on Wei Xu's shoulder did not survive in the end.
Wei Wei dug a large pit, erected it upright, and buried it back in the earth, hoping that when the weather warmed up, all the Treants would be resurrected, as they themselves thought.
Wei Shu took dozens of the Treant's seeds, put them in small bags, and finally, continued to the south.
There was a heavy snow in the sky, and another layer of straw mats was put on the two giant beasts, Wei Wei not only increased his lifespan because of his qi training, but also did not invade the cold and heat, at least before the qi energy was consumed, he didn't feel anything about the temperature.
As they continued on, the ground was covered with snow and the leaves were all gone.
There is another reason why the Northern Continent is so cold now, and that is that winter has arrived.
The hunt has become more and more difficult, many animals have died in this low temperature, they have all suffered from hypothermia, in the face of extremely low temperatures, without fur protection and enough energy, there is only a dead end.
Of course, if you learn to make campfires and sew clothes, you will be able to withstand the cold to a certain extent.
Wei saw a group of monkeys who had built a bonfire, and the monkeys could sew their own clothes, just like humans in disguise.
In addition, Wei Shu also saw polar bears and arctic wolves.
Polar bears and arctic wolves said: It's too cold in the north, we have to run south.
However, the two behemoths showed their effect at this time, and from time to time they would smell some dead beasts, and then go to the snow and dig them up, and some frozen animals were actually gouged out.
At this temperature, the dead animal does not rot at all, and it can be eaten after thawing it with fire.
But despite this, the panda and the tiger were almost unable to hold on, and the luggage was basically carried by Wei Shu himself, and he also covered the two giant beasts with thick animal fur, but despite this, they were almost unable to hold on.
They rarely roar because they have to save effort, they eat very little, and for some reason, they are always in a low mood.
They were originally temperate animals, and they couldn't hold on to the sudden arrival of the extreme cold.
Until the day when the maximum temperature was minus one degree during the day, they fell.
Hypothermia, a terrible disease that threatens all animals and plants in the Northern Continent, no living thing is immune except for Wei Shu and the humans who have been stopped by time.
Wei Shu couldn't move on, he could only stay, and then cut down those trees that had long since died, and then make wooden houses, the size of the trees was too large, Wei Wei could not make wooden houses for them, but the size of the two giant beasts was not too big.
"I'm going to survive!" Wei built a wooden hut for the two giant beasts, built a bonfire in the wooden hut, and then went out to hunt himself.
But it was already snowing outside the hut, and the snow was knee-deep, and the hunt was becoming more and more difficult.
Wei Shu suddenly remembered the movie "Life of Pi" he had watched, in which a teenager and a tiger were on the same survival boat, drifting across the ocean, and finally rescued.
But Wei Shu's situation is still different from that teenager, first of all, Wei Shu is no longer a teenager, and he is used to seeing life and death, and now, he is just doing his best to save these two giant beasts.
If they died, Wei Shu might be sad, but he would never shed tears.
"It's a pity!" Wei Shu touched the heads of the two giant beasts, "Qi cultivation skills can't be taught to you. ”
The Qi training skill is a system skill, as long as the posture is correct, and then the skill can be practiced, but to teach? How to teach? Not to mention that it is passed on to animals.
The two giant beasts were already dying, the fat tiger became a thin tiger, and the fat da also became a thin one.
They lay motionless in the hut, sticking out their tongues and panting, as if they were asthmatic, and they looked extremely uncomfortable.
If they wail a few words, Wei Shu thinks it's okay, but they don't shout when they are in pain like humans, they are always silent, their eyes are confused, but Wei Shu will react a little when he pats them, maybe he will look at Wei Shu, maybe he will move his tail.
Even if Wei Shu put the food in front of them, they just sniffed and licked it, but they didn't want to eat it at all, there was no way, Wei Shu had to force it into their mouths and let them swallow it.
Wei Shu walked out of the wooden house, looking at the gray sky and the snowflakes that kept falling, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! Winter will last a long time! ”
Every night was a torment for the two giant beasts, the temperature was still dropping, and the low temperature at night was even more terrifying, even if you kept adding firewood to the campfire all night, it could not bring a trace of warmth to the wooden house.
