Chapter 564: Starlight Unicorn (5)
After going on the road the next day, Xiao Hei was indeed much more honest, basically no longer naughty, and followed Chi Aotian to climb the mountain.
Looking at Xiao Hei's eyes full of uncomfortable tears, listening to it panting, Chi Aotian was very worried, according to the Phantom Beast Instructions, many Phantom Beasts came from the tropics or plains, and suddenly came to the plateau above 3000 meters above sea level, and the temperature was more than 10C lower than the environment in which they lived, and when it came to the top of the snowy mountain, the temperature was minus 20C, coupled with the lack of oxygen on the plateau, this almost became the first big killer in the Phantom Beast Trial.
Of course, this pair of phantom beast knights is nothing, in order to allow the knights to better pass the phantom beast trial, all the knights who have the opportunity to come will be sent to climb over the mountains in the north of the empire every year to exercise, where the average altitude is also more than 4000 meters, and it is also snowy all year round.
It stands to reason that the earth walking dragon lives in temperate hills, there are four seasons a year, and the average altitude is more than 1,000 meters, so there should not be such a big reaction.
Chi Aotian untied the strap of his waist, tied a loop, put one side around Xiao Hei's neck, and straddled his shoulder on the other side, so that he could pull it in a more difficult place.
There was no little black running around, the trip was much faster, and at 3:00 p.m. the next day, they arrived at the second campsite. The sun hung high in the western sky, and the golden sunlight swayed on the snow line not far away, above the snow line, the white ice and snow reflected the dazzling sunlight, and further up, some of the ice walls were hung with huge ice picks, and the wind could faintly be heard whistling through the valley in the distance.
After a tiring day, Xiao Hei's appetite improved a little and he ate a lot of meat. Chi Aotian was a little relieved.
On the morning of the third day, Xiao Hei's condition was still the same, and he looked like he had no appetite. Looking at the mountains full of ice and snow, Chi Aotian was very worried, and found all the cold-proof clothes for phantom beasts that he found from the camp, with a leather hat on his head that only showed his eyes, a thick animal skin scarf tied around his neck, and a leather armor cold-proof suit specially customized for Dixinglong, and finally tore open a leather blanket and wrapped it around Xiao Hei's legs.
Although he was very worried about Xiao Hei's body, but after putting the brown glasses on Xiao Hei, both Xiao Hei and Chi Aotian felt funny, where is this a majestic earth dragon, it is simply a hunchbacked little old man with a hat.
Heavily armed, Xiao Hei is obviously better, and his steps are no longer so shaky.
As soon as you enter the snow line, the snow here is mainly the snow of last year and the hoarfrost after the cold dew condenses in autumn, so although the sound of clicking when you step on it, it does not affect the speed of progress. According to the instructions of the phantom beast, after entering the snow line, the daily journey will be much slower, about only 2/3 of the original, and when it is necessary to climb to the top on the last day, it will only be about 1/3 of the usual itinerary, and Chi Aotian also deliberately slowed down his pace. It may be really cold, and Xiao Hei is sneezing all the way.
After entering the snow line, the camping site could no longer provide too much firewood, and at night, in a sheltered place, Chi Aotian built a small bonfire with limited firewood, hastily roasted the meat, and gave it to Xiao Hei to eat. When he went to bed at night, Xiao Hei curled up and kept drilling into Chi Aotian's bed, and he was still shivering.
Chi Aotian didn't sleep well all night, and got up from time to time to touch Xiao Hei's body to see if it was normal.
On the fourth day, when Chi Aotian got up in the morning, he was immediately startled, Xiao Hei's eyes were full of bloodshots, his nose was full of mucous membranes, and his tongue was also covered with white tongue coating...... Is this still the little dragon with the power of a king? Chi Aotian's brows furrowed, very heartbroken, he carefully rummaged through the objects in the camp, found some medicines for people to eat, pressed Xiao Hei's head, and forcibly poured it down, Xiao Hei didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Now what? If you continue to move forward, I don't know if Xiao Hei's body can hold it, if you retreat, whether it is for yourself or Xiao Hei, there is not even a chance, and even if you retreat, because there is no mount, if you want to return to the nearest barracks, you need to walk for at least 4 days, and if you go further, it will only take 7 days to reach the Phantom Beast Holy Garden.
Chi Aotian bit his lip tightly, let's go ahead, as long as Xiao Hei can be brought into the Phantom Beast Holy Garden, the blood pool there can heal all the damage suffered by the Phantom Beast.
The cold wind began to blow, whining and crying in the mountains, and the gray sky, the snow-white mountains, the boy in a black suit and a black dragon wrapped in a leather suit, struggled to advance through the snow.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Chi Aotian carefully walked in front of Xiao Hei, trying to help him block some knife-like wind. Little Black crawled with great difficulty, gasping for air in his mouth and choking with a whimper.
In order to encourage the confidence of this little guy to continue walking, Chi Aotian suddenly became more talkative, and while touching Xiao Hei's head with his hand, he shouted loudly in the wind, and the violent wind brought his voice in all directions.
"Xiao Hei, don't worry, today we only need to walk half of yesterday's road."
"Xiao Hei, I heard that after I get to the Phantom Beast Holy Garden, there will be a lot of fun Phantom Beasts, and you may see delicious Phantom Beasts......"
"Hi, it's almost there, did you see that? The sign said we were only 2 miles from the campsite. When you arrive, I'll bake you delicious meat. "Chi Aotian's level of telling jokes is only about eating, and Amy is too far away, if this is His Excellency Amy, the jokes told along the way are estimated to make Xiaodi Xinglong fly.
Xiao Hei was pulled by Chi Aotian and finally came to the camp on the fourth day. Ji Aotian tried to do his best and made some simple food, but ...... Xiao Hei didn't want to eat anything, but drank a little hot soup.
The fifth day is the most painful day of all the phantom beast knights in the trial, it is said that 80% of the failures are in this day, when you get up in the morning, you can't see the sun outside at all, the black clouds seem to be pressing on the sky, you can hardly look up and feel the clouds pressing on the top of your head, fluttering in your ears, the snow is whistling with the cold wind, the snowflakes are not flying at all, but projected on the ground and the human body like javelins, if there are no road signs outside, you can't tell the difference between heaven and earth, and you don't know the southeast and northwest at all.
Chi Aotian returned to the tent and pushed Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei snorted twice, motionless, and pushed again, it struggled to raise its head, struggling to get up, but immediately fell down again, there was no bright and clear gaze in its eyes, a layer of dark yellow mucous membrane covered the entire eye, and the corners of the eyes were also condensed with large eye droppings, and the snot continued to flow out.
Chi Aotian used the last bit of firewood to make a large bowl of hot broth, and despite Xiao Hei's struggles, it completely poured into its stomach. Then he cut the whole tent into strips of leather, several strips of leather into one thicker one, and then three thick strips of leather into a triangular ring, which was put over the little black tail, and the two horns were pulled up from between its legs, and the last horn was pulled up from its back to become a pocket for carrying people. He slowly squatted down, first tied the leather strip that had been pulled up from between his feet firmly around his waist, and split the strap that had been pulled up from his back in two, and tied it together with the leather strip that had been pulled down from his shoulders.
Chi Aotian took a deep breath, holding an ice stick with one hand and holding his leg with the other, he struggled to stand up, and the weight of more than 200 catties of Di Xinglong was immediately put on his shoulders and waist, and he began to move forward along the road signs.
