Chapter 294: Icefield Town

To the north of this vast continent is a vast expanse of snow-covered grasslands and coniferous forests, with a predominantly flat plain and a large plateau, which is shrouded in the chill of ice and snow almost all year round. Further north, you will have to wade through the glacier that has not melted for thousands of years, and walk into the eternal ice and snow wasteland.

The biting cold wind blew, and even Dong Bin, who was an extraordinary person, couldn't help but shiver, he slowly picked up the almost cold kettle and took a quick sip, and quickly closed the lid before freezing the water at low temperature.

The journey was not pleasant, he took the train to the northernmost station, and then followed a motorcade for a long distance, and experienced the journey of dog sledding, but the initial novelty passed, and the feeling of flying snow particles hitting his face was very uncomfortable.

In this wasteland, which is so cold that it seems to be cut off from the fire of civilization, the steam engine, which has been widely used in all aspects of society, has disappeared, and the current steam engine technology cannot be used normally in such an extreme environment. So horse-drawn carriages and dog sleds, the primitive and almost obsolete form of transport, are still alive and well here.

If it was just that, but for the next part of the road, Dong Bin needed to reach a supply point in the northernmost part, but due to the weather, there was no suitable sled team for a month. Dong Bin didn't want to waste time, so he made a move that ordinary people couldn't understand.

It's already close to the Arctic Circle, and the temperature drops at night is enough to kill anyone who spends the night in the wild, no matter how strong he is. What's more, in addition to the low temperature, there are more difficulties that are difficult for flesh and blood to overcome along the way.

Fortunately, Dong Bin, who has reached this level, is no longer a "human" in terms of physical fitness. For humans, many insurmountable obstacles, extreme low temperatures, hunting beasts, and impassable roads, he can rely on extraordinary strength to carry through.

Basically, he carried it, although he was taken by wild beasts and took most of his food, fell off a cliff in the snow, couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and got lost several times in the taiga, but he was still alive and well.

In this extreme environment, the bobsleigh team had to walk for two days, and he had been walking for almost three and a half days, and now the last supply point was in sight.

"It's so uncomfortable to freeze me to death" sighed into his hand, Dong Bin began to miss the glove that was taken away by the wild wolf yesterday, it was a cowhide glove, and it was a real cowhide, otherwise the hungry wolf who was about to die would not have ventured to take it away.

Because of Luo Mengyun, Dong Bin's attitude towards the creature of wolves was relatively gentle, and for the sake of the pitiful appearance of the old wolf who was about to starve to death, he gave up the idea of peeling off the wolf's skin to warm his hands.

"Even my hands are about to freeze and crack, the people of the Typhon family are really courageous, and it is really troublesome to build a base further north than here" Dong Bin sighed, along the way, he learned more and more about the ice fields of the extreme north, and the more he felt how naïve his ideas were at the beginning.

It was much more terrifying than he had imagined at first

The sky and the earth are a world of ice and snow, the sunlight refracted by the snow during the day can blind people's eyes, and the temperature at night can make people's blood coagulate in a few minutes. There may be huge ice cracks on the ground at any time, and if you fall into it, you will definitely die, and the bones will not be recovered. There is no obvious reference

A gust of wind is enough to completely lose one's path. There are white bears hovering on the ice field, which can slap people into meat patties, and there are many unknown ancient creatures in the depths of the ice field that are beyond human imagination.

Dong Bin estimated that it was difficult for ordinary transcendents to survive there, and although he should be able to save his life as an exceptional, it was impossible to find the base of the Typhon family in a world without any references.

At first, he was really at a loss, but he quickly thought about it

"However, I don't believe that the base of the Typhon family on the ice field does not need supplies from the outside world, and the farthest and largest supply point of humanity in the Far North is ahead, and I will definitely be able to find clues." Cheering himself up, Dong Bin sorted out his luggage and walked towards the supply point known as "Ice Plains Town".

The thick wooden door pushed open by the young man, accompanied by a cool breeze mixed with snow particles, walked quickly into the bar in Ice Plains Town. This bar doesn't have a name, because there is only one bar in town, and it can't be called wrong.

There are about hundreds of people temporarily stationed at this supply point for various reasons, and everyone likes to come here for a glass of whiskey when they have nothing to do, and the hot liquid always stirs up their enthusiasm for being frozen here.

The boy turned around and closed the door as quickly as possible, as if he was afraid that the cool breeze outside would upset the guests here.

"Yo, little brother, come on, come on, I'll invite you to have a drink to warm up," a bearded man sitting at the bar greeted the boy with a smile.

In this kind of place, the land is sparsely populated and cold to the bone, and there is always a feeling of inner loneliness, and even the hot whisky cannot be dispelled, so people will always return the greatest enthusiasm to others at this time.

Dong Bin breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that the coolness he brought into the room when he opened the door did not make people feel so unhappy, and he felt that the people here were unexpectedly enthusiastic, and it seemed that there would be no problems with his next consultation.

"Thanks, big brother." Dong Bin smiled and took the whiskey handed over by the beard, and changed the "uncle" to "big brother" in time.

"Haha, cheers" The bearded brother heroically took the wine glass and bumped it into Dong Bin, and then drank it all.

"Eh" Dong Bin wanted to say that although he could drink some wine, he had never drunk this kind of spirit, but this atmosphere was all here, and if he didn't drink it, he was embarrassed to continue to inquire about what he wanted to know.

So Dong Bin picked up the wine glass, learned to drink the liquor with his beard, and instantly a hot feeling surged along his throat, as if there was a fire burning from his mouth to his stomach, and then choking smoke filled his entire mouth and lungs.

His face flushed, and he coughed a few times, almost squirting out the wine.

It's so hanging, Dong Bin secretly got lucky, this wine is too strong, if his physique is a little worse, maybe a glass will be put down.

"Hahaha, brother, happy" The beard saw at a glance that Dong Bin was a person who had never drunk whiskey, and he appreciated his courage very much, "This wine is not enough to taste in this ghost place where people are frozen, and men have to drink spirits"

"Women can't drink" A beautiful girl in a thick coat next to her heard this sentence and smiled and sneered.

"Okay, good, it's my brother, I lost my words,

Miss Edith don't care, brother, I'll punish myself. The beard was not annoyed, and ordered another glass of wine from the bar.

The beard seems to be a long-term transportation runner, and the Edith is like the leader of a certain caravan Dong Bin silently analyzed, he knows that it is not easy for people who can mix well in such an extreme environment, maybe they will be able to give themselves a lot of help in the future.

But this wine is so good

I have to admit that although I almost squirted out after taking a sip, the hot feeling quickly turned into warmth and swept through the body, dispelling the chill that penetrated deep into the joints brought by the two-and-a-half-day rush.

"Give me another drink," Dong Bin raised his glass, "Give this big brother and this" He swallowed the "lady" back into his stomach stiffly, "The little sister is full, I'll settle the bill." ”

"Heh, although I am indeed younger than you, but we are not close enough to be called little sister, but forget it, for the sake of wine, it can be called that." Edith grabbed the supple blonde hair that blocked her vision, and looked at Dong Bin with emerald eyes, "Then make a friend, little brother." ”

"Happy, I've made a friend of yours," the beard patted Dong Bin's shoulder hard.

In this kind of place, camaraderie is always very fast.

The three of them had a toast happily, and they became very familiar at once. Dong Bin thought for a while, and felt that the atmosphere was heating up faster than he expected, so he directly threw out the question he wanted to understand, "Anyway, if I still want to go north, is there any other supply point next?"

The location of the Typhon family, such a question involving the transcendent realm, naturally has to use a roundabout method to find out the clues.

"Oh further north," Beard looked at him curiously, and there were still drops of wine standing on his beard, "Seal skin, diamond mines, whale oil, shrimp Almost all the trade points of valuable goods in the north are concentrated in Icefield Town, and there are no good things to trade further north."

He could see that Dong Bin was a bit pampered, very much like a businessman who came to buy things, not like a laborer who came to hunt or mine, and he didn't know what Dong Bin was going to do in the bitter cold land further north.

"I'm kind of here to examine something, well, university researcher." Dong Bin casually made up a not-so-real identity for himself, but he thought that the groggy brain stimulated by alcohol on his beard might not necessarily delve into the unreasonable parts of his words.

"Well, but further north, there really isn't a place to rest and drink, at most those who live in igloos, they wear the fur of wild beasts, burn the fat of seals for warmth, and live like primitive people," Beard thought directly to his beard, "I know of a few settlements, we often trade with them, and it should be okay to stay in their igloos for a few nights."

Dong Bin nodded, he knew that there were some aborigines in the Arctic, but these people had nothing to do with the people he was looking for, but maybe these people knew where the Typhon family was

"Uncle Beard, you forgot that legend." Edith finished her whiskey and reminded with a smile.

The beard slapped his head, "If you don't say it, I really almost forgot, yes, yes, yes, there is a saying that it is not the legend of the city of stars in the depths of the ice field."
