Two days after the previous ambush.

Chen Xuyuan and his entourage are following two isolated snow monkeys, walking through the dark green pine needle snow forest that is as fluffy as a brush.

The sparse trees stretch low and high along the mountain, like a black-green belt, adding a touch of life to the snow-covered mountains.

The melted snow water moistened the slumbering land that had been exposed from the snow.

I don't know when.

The ape "Thumb" has made new friends with them.

Although thousands of years have lived on the snowy fields.

The coat color of the two snow monkeys has also evolved to an off-white color that is easy to hide, so they seem to be a little curious about the new kind with the fiery fur of "Thumb", but due to the powerful magical beast aura of the other party that is faintly above ordinary monkeys, the two monkeys did not dare to come up and touch their hair.

However, Siggri only took out a few pieces of baked dry food and bought them, and asked Chen Xuyuan to use the "soul language" in the soul shaman technique to transmit a message spiritually, asking the two "aborigines" for the passage down the mountain.

The two snow monkeys are ignorant and simple-minded, but their ability to express themselves is difficult to understand, and in the end they simply let them lead the way.

Originally, if he caught a bird, Master Chen could have cast a spell to control the opponent's soul and explore the road ahead, but the plateau at this kilometer altitude was all fragmented downhill roads, and it was impossible to find a road through the entire area, and he would often encounter cliffs that were not easy to walk, and finally he had to detour for several kilometers to find other easy roads.

But this place where the weather is cold and people are rare is indeed not a place where life thrives and flourishes, and even the traces of birds are extremely difficult to find.

In order to avoid pursuit, they had already deviated from the path of the normal caravan through the snowfield, and those were the best places to walk by those who had walked here all year round, after all, they were carrying goods to and fro.

And although the animals are not necessarily smart, they all feel the strength and horror of this group of humans by virtue of their wild keen instincts.

Even the falcons soaring in the sky only hovered for a moment at a height of thousands of meters above their heads, not daring to lower their altitude to plunder some smaller prey.

At last.

Everyone saw this little black dot that had been following their heads for a long time fly away.

With these two monkeys who are familiar with the terrain and environment as their guides, everything is much easier.

It's just that these two "guides" are very "dedicated" and often desert.

Sometimes.

They suddenly scurried under the roots of the old trees and "fluttered" to dig out some seeds left in the snow as snacks.

He even jumped into a clear, icy creek and caught a fat sea bass that seemed to weigh two pounds on the spot.

Yes.

The barren species of creatures on the snow-capped mountains certainly lead to a scarce number of edible plants and animals.

But this is the season when the bass return to their birthplace and wait for mating and spawning.

After they have given birth, some of the long-lived freshwater members of this long-lived freshwater fish, which have an average lifespan of up to 25 years, will "stay" in their birthplace forever.

But.

Meanwhile.

This season is also the most abundant hunting season for the old residents of the snow-capped mountains with poor food.

Before the sun sank, they came again to a pile of rocks, which was not covered with snow and ice, and they could light a bonfire on the stones, and by the way, they would scrape off the fine scales of the large sea bass that they had just caught with the monkeys, and cook them into a great pot of thick soup.

Just as Bruno's pupil Zahar got up with his two juniors and prepared to go out to get some firewood, this kind of rough work certainly didn't need to call the ladies, and this was the time to show their gentlemanly demeanor. They also wanted to look for plant seeds that had been cut out of the ground by animals, and with the knowledge of a wizard, they could certainly identify two or three spicy things in the surrounding plants, which could be used as seasonings for food.

If it weren't for this icy and snowy place, they would definitely get some wild vegetables and fruits to adjust the taste.

Chen Xuyuan, led by the snow monkeys, walked around, observing some of the surrounding animal ecology and food chains.

From the reddish-brown moss and insects on the rocks to the snow wolves, foxes and rabbits, all of them have their own small fragile food chains, each struggling to support the material cycle here.

He also collected some plants that had not been seen on Earth and made an analysis and classification record of the shape and function of the rhizome to the leaf.

Collecting plant samples is both a hobby and a biological research that he is now doing.

He also had a hobby of collecting specimens of plants and butterflies when he was on Earth, and now that he is studying the biodiversity of this otherworld, he can be more helpful in improving his spells and strength.

Carbon-based organisms are an extremely large species.

Plants and animals are the two major branches of carbon-based organisms, in fact, the internal relationship is extremely close, and there are even half-plants and half-fungal organisms such as tree people and Qin people in this world.

If we say that some elemental magical beasts such as fire, ice, and earth such as the Incineration Fire Spirit, the Wind Spirit, and the Mutant Ooze Monster, and even some truly intelligent races like the Elemental Prophets, they are silicon-based creatures in the scientific concept of the earth according to their current understanding.

There are also some regional spirits and spirits such as earth spirits and wind spirits, which are more similar to the strange species such as goblins and ghosts in the ancient "Strange Tales of Liaozhai".

From this point of view.

For the ecological circle on this planet plane, the value of its planetary biology research is definitely much higher than that of the earth.

When he walked to a snow-covered boulder, Chen Xuyuan felt a trace of ancient and vicissitudes of thought.

Chen Xuyuan carefully communicated with him with the spell of the soul shaman, and found that this stone had the positive energy of the sun and the ancient breath of the elements!

So he swept away some frozen snow with his right hand, used the "soul perception" technique to understand the history of these stones, felt its heat and antiquity, and finally "saw" the sight of it falling apart.

Originally.

This is a meteorite from another world.

But it's not a distant world.

Rather, it comes from a gap in the elemental plane near the main plane.

Soon the stone fed back a set of vague broken picture information - this stone was once on a battlefield in the elemental realm, a large number of earth elements and wind elements instinctively fought each other at the boundary of the two, and finally after death, the broken earth element core overflowed with spiritual elemental spiritual liquid, and the elemental energy breath on the stone was left behind when they fought each other.

The spiritual elemental liquid had seeped into the stone itself, making this meteorite a little different.

Specifically, I began to have some plant-like instincts.

If it is thrown into a plane or region with dense earth elemental energy, a new earth elemental lifeform may be generated.

As for what form of elemental life it is, it is a little difficult to guess.

However, according to some elemental scholars, the earth elemental embryo will attract a wandering soul with a relatively high phase, or absorb a blank soul shell cleansed from the River Styx to form new life.
