244 I am not a native
The trees that grow in the snowfields are all coniferous trees. These trees have very little water requirement. The roots are deep enough, and they basically get their water from the ground in the first place.
Although it is lush all year round, it looks like an ageless young man. But in a young little fire, the power is also limited.
From time to time, some branches in the jungle will break because they can't bear the weight of the snow. Make a clicking sound. Along with this sound, the birds began to echo it, chirping as if they were putting on a concert.
The bonfire gradually burned out with the rising sun, and when the last firewood completely disintegrated and joined the ashes family, the last wisps of smoke finally dissipated.
"Get up!"
Ning Tian was not so well-behaved when he was on duty, he was leaning on the fur, half-asleep on duty. At this time, the sun rose, and his eyes were uncomfortable from the strong light, so he woke up from his daze, got up and grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his somewhat stiff face, he kicked Gao Meng, who was still asleep, twice with his foot, and shouted.
Gao Meng is not a person who is content with enjoyment, he does not get up and procrastinate, his eyes have not been completely opened, he stood up first, grabbed a handful of snow with his hand, rubbed his face, and thought that he was washing his face.
Among the three people, Gu Xuan'er slept well. She wasn't on duty that night. She was already sleeping very lightly, and when she heard Ning Tian's voice, she also got up.
The three of them simply packed up and prepared to continue their adventure.
They weren't going to eat breakfast. I ate a lot last night, and now I'm not hungry at all, besides. In the early morning, Ning Tian didn't bother to work anymore.
"Aren't these people dead! As soon as the sun came out, it began to toss! ”
Sixth, at this time, it is inevitable to complain. He hadn't slept much at all yesterday. He had just squinted for a moment when there was movement on the other side, and he had to get up again. He shoved a handful of snow into his mouth and muttered as he chewed.
Three seemed to be immune to the fragmented thoughts of six, and as if he hadn't heard it, he was busy packing up his own plow.
Although the three sleeps are not long. But there was no tiredness on his face. Because although he doesn't sleep much, the quality of sleep is very high.
This was supposed to be an ability that Rokuya had. But his mentality during this period seemed to be very wrong. I don't know what I'm thinking about every day, and this will become like a resentful woman. It's chirping every day.
"Where the hell are we going today?"
At this time, the driving power was still in Ning Tian's hands, and Gao Meng was still holding the map in his hand and drawing it little by little. He really couldn't guess where Ning Tian was going to drive the climbing plow. Although Ning Tian said yesterday that he had met his companion, Gao Meng was very surprised. But he wasn't surprised enough to think that Ning Tian knew the way here.
"Didn't you mean hunting?"
Ning Tian said with an innocent face.
"Hunting should always have a purpose, huh? Isn't there a hunting ground on the periphery? No one knows the environment here, where can we find a hunting ground? Do you know? ”
Gao Meng asked puzzled.
No wonder Gao Meng asked like this, Ning Tian's expression was indeed as if he knew.
Who knows, Ning Tian said righteously: "Nonsense! I'm not a local, how would I know! ”
"I don't know you're in such a hurry?"
"You know?"
“……”
Ning Tian's words made Gao Meng completely speechless. For he does not know. Don't know what to do? Since you don't know, it's not the same who is coming to catch up? I don't know what nonsense is there? Although Ning Tian didn't say so, Gao Meng made up this obscure meaning in his own mind.
"It's okay if you don't know. It's not like you haven't hunted. You just have to know how to track it. Now there are no animal tracks here, so we can only keep walking. ”
"Oh......"
Although what Ning Tian said seemed very irresponsible. But it's true. That's what hunting is all about. Not to mention here, even if it is a hunting area, it also needs to be tracked.
So, after Gao Meng sighed, he began to obediently continue to draw the map. He found that he shouldn't question anything in front of Ning Tian! Because every time I touch a nose of ash. Although from a rational point of view, he can be regarded as learning something, but no one likes this way of learning.
The best way to learn to fight is to get beaten. When you're not beaten, you're ready to go. But in fact, no one has ever done that. No one likes to be beaten all the time. Always in this oppressive environment, even if you can bear it physically, you can't stand it psychologically.
Gao Meng felt that if he continued like this, he would really be unable to support it. I used to be a leader no matter how I said it, but now why has I fallen into this land!
The direction chosen by Ning Tian is still depth.
As they went deeper, the trails on the snow began to grow. But they didn't track these traces, because Ning Tian felt that these were small characters and not worth their shots. Since you're here, of course you're going to run for the big guys. In his words, 'I spent a lot of money on this equipment, and I have to earn it back!' ’。 That's right, this is Ning Tian's style: you can't lose money!
Even if the purpose of coming out this time is not to make money, but to play, then you can't lose money!
I don't know when I'll be able to use these things next time. For now, it's a completely one-off thing. Naturally, the money spent has to be earned. The thief does not go empty, and Ning Tian seems to be doing it more well.
Gao Meng felt that he had no say in this. Because he didn't come out of the money himself, to put it bluntly, what he is wearing now is what Ning Tian spent money to buy. My mouth is now short, and my hands are short. He's already starting to regret the decision he made last night. If he had known that this would be the case, he should have chosen to go back early in the morning.
"Phew! Brother Xiaomeng. Look at those footprints over there! I don't think it's small, so let's follow it before! ”
Ning Tian suddenly grabbed the reins and said.
Gao Meng jumped down without saying a word. Quickly move over knee-high snow and get ready to take a look.
"Nothing! The footprints of the snow fox are just that, and there must have been a fight with some kind of bird here, but I can't tell what kind of bird it is. Snow foxes' furs are worth a lot of money, but hunting them is too much trouble. ”
Soon Gao Meng returned, reporting as he put the fur back on his body.
"Third brother, they have entered the forest! We...... Still with you? ”
Looking at the plough in front of him, he resolutely entered the dense forest area. Six asked reluctantly. He's acting a little like Gao Meng now. Something that should be said for oneself always has a mocking effect.
Three looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and pulled the reins. said, "No, let's just wait here." ”
Six didn't ask, got off the plow directly, and asked with a smile: "Third brother." Then I'll go get some game to eat. And they went in. It's not certain when we'll be able to come out, we can't wait, and besides, we don't have much to eat. ”
"Go ahead."
"Okay!"
After getting the reply, Six was completely happy, took his equipment and started hunting on his own.
Although Liu's mood has fluctuated a lot recently, his professional quality is not a matter of one or two days, it has been accumulated over many years. This has not changed at all. The reason why he asked like that just now was, of course, because he saw that something was wrong.
At this time. Dry snow had begun to fall in the sky.
What is dry snow?
The sun is still in the sky, and there are not a lot of clouds in the sky at this time. But there was a fine snow in the sky. This is called dry snow. Dry snow is more magical than sun rain.
However, this dry snow is not as calm as it seems.
At this time, a large halo has appeared around the sun.
Solar corona, a precursor to weather changes. As they often haunt all kinds of harsh environments to do tasks, this is a common sense. They could tell from the solar halo that the weather would change next.
At this time, both of them had already judged that there would be a blizzard, so they did not prepare to enter the dense forest, but chose to stay and wait and see.
The three began to choose where they would rest to fend off the imminent blizzard.
The reason why they didn't dare to follow up was that they were not familiar with this area, and if a blizzard came, the traces of their arrival would be completely erased, and if the traces were gone, the possibility of getting lost in the dense forest was too great, and they could not take this risk. Their task is only to monitor, and if they can't take such a big risk, it's not worth it.
Miya has never despised his opponents. These people dare to go in, maybe they have their support, but that is someone else's dependence, and it has nothing to do with him. In the dense forest, if you want to get rid of them, it will be less difficult. He didn't have the confidence to the point of arrogance. That's why I chose to stay here and wait and see what happens.
"The trees here are too dense for me to draw an accurate map, what should I do?"
When he first entered the dense forest, Gao Meng didn't feel anything, but after a while, he realized that something was wrong.
The reason why a map is called a map is that it is definitely different from the real thing. He had to come on a certain scale.
But in the dense forest, he lost his reference, and there was no way to determine the direction at all. The most important thing is that because of the constraints of the environment, their route is now very fast, and he has no way to judge how far they are traveling in which direction they are now, and how to draw a map.
"These two grandsons didn't keep up! It's insidious! ”
For the two people behind him not to keep up, Ning Tian was still a little unhappy in his heart. Although it was only incidental, he seemed to feel that this trip was much less fun.
After venting, Ning Tian continued: "You don't need to draw the map first. ”
After saying that, he jumped down from the climbing plow, and at some point he had an extra long sword in his hand, and slashed a few seemingly indiscriminately on several trees, and then came back again. I cleared the snow from my shoes and sat back on the plow.
"The two grandsons are either waiting outside now, or they have already gone back. However, I think the former is more likely. If they're waiting outside. That's good, of course. I made a mark, and we're not going to get out of here. Drive! ”
After speaking, Ning Tian waved his whip again. The snow deer moved again.
Life is a big game of chess, but the opponent is not one.
It is said that life is like chess, but in fact, life is much more complicated than playing chess. Because every decision you make, even every action, is related to the next step.
Many times, you have to give up some of your own interests in exchange for greater benefits or to avoid greater dangers.
Every step of the way. Skate on thin ice.
The third chose to stay outside the woods, in order to avoid greater danger. And Ning Tian chose to do this in order to teach the other party a lesson. It is also to let myself live more freely.
Meeting Gu Linger and Gu Yan before, which made him change some of his minds.
From the perspective of hunting, Ning Tian's choice to enter the dense forest is understandable. Because there's more shelter here. The beast is relative to the open field outside. I prefer to be active here. They are now hunting, and this is undoubtedly the best option.
As for whether he would get lost, Ning Tian didn't seem to be worried at all.
When he was in the Netherworld, he had to ask people when he got there. Gradually, he also learned to judge the situation around him. Keeping everything under his control is what Ning Tian has always been pursuing. Even if he is not in complete control, he himself must retain maximum decision-making power.
The environment here is unfamiliar. But for a pseudo-traveler, it is not difficult to judge the direction. The vegetation here still grows according to the normal pattern. As long as the direction is not lost. They won't lose it.
Hunting has no purpose. There is a great deal of immediacy in the choice of route.
The sky gradually lost its original blue and began to turn gray. Although the dense forest blocked the influx of the strong wind, the whining sound of the blowing between the trees made even a fool judge the situation outside.
The snow that used to be sparse has begun to grow larger and denser by this time. The snow was not completely blocked by the dense forest, and some of it easily invaded the dense forest.
Gradually, sporadic granular snowflakes began to appear in the snow, making a crackling sound on the body.
Although the dense forest can block the wind, it can't stop the change in temperature, and several people obviously feel that the surrounding temperature is rapidly decreasing, as if they have been pumped away by the exhaust fan.
"簌簌~簌簌~"
"Xuan'er, you come to the middle, Brother Xiaomeng, this hammer will be borrowed from you again, the snow is deep here, don't lose it for me."
Not only was there a sound of rustling in the forest, not only the three of them, but even the snow deer that was pulling it had already sensed the danger signal, and its speed had slowed down, even if the whip fell on their bodies, their speed did not increase in the slightest.
Danger is coming.
All three were aware.
Therefore, Ning Tian quickly made an unfamiliarity, first, distributed the weapons, and then, adjusted the position.
Although the danger was approaching now, he didn't know when it would appear, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. Even if the danger is approaching, the road should still be rushed.
Gao Meng originally looked uneasy, but after receiving the hammer handed over by Ning Tian, his heart was instantly calm, and a smile actually appeared on his face. Looking at the hammer in his hand, it was as if he saw a beautiful woman, which shows that he really doesn't like this hammer ordinarily.
After entering the immortal realm, Gu Xuan'er's advantages were gone, and he really became the role of a nurse. Aside from a simple healing, she has lost almost all of her ability to attack and warn. That's why Ning Tian let her sit in the middle position.
After changing positions, the three of them sat silently, ignoring the increasingly loud voices around them, as if they hadn't heard them at all.
Only the snow deer before and after, the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, and the amplitude of strides became smaller and smaller, and it felt as if it would stop in the next second.
"Whoosh~"
A whistle sounded, and it came out as Ning Tian turned around. After hearing the voice, Gao Meng and Gu Xuan'er immediately turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
It turned out that Ning Tian didn't know when, a bow and arrow had already appeared in his hand. The whistle was the result of an arrow he had fired piercing the cold dry air. Although Gao Meng's reaction was fast enough, he immediately looked in the direction of Ning Tian's bow, but he only saw a white figure, which instantly disappeared into the snow and disappeared.
"It's a snow leopard!"
Although it was only a glimpse, Gao Meng had already judged what the other party was.
Although Ning Tian was not very familiar with the creatures here, he could tell from Gao Meng's tone that this snow leopard should not be an easy character to deal with. Because Gao Meng's tone was full of surprise and nervousness.
Although Gao Meng didn't see it clearly, Ning Tian had already seen it clearly.
The body shape of the snow leopard is similar to that of the cheetah, the body is very slim and snow-white, and if you don't look closely, you will find it difficult to spot them standing on the snow.
The biggest difference between them and snow leopards is that they have a pair of large tusks leaking out. Looks...... It's like the teeth of a saber-toothed tiger.
Their feet are large, and their flippers leave only shallow marks when they fall on the snow, which gives them a lot of secrecy.
On top of that, they're fast and sensitive. Although it happened suddenly, the snow leopard still dodged the arrow that Ning Tian shot.
At this time, the snow deer completely struck, and the body couldn't stop trembling, and the snow deer behind him had weak feet and simply lay down. His eyes were full of panic, and a large amount of white gas erupted from his nostrils. Obviously, the scene just now scared it a lot. Fortunately, it wasn't scared to pee...... (To be continued......)
