Chapter 134: Ice Berries
The ice ape's huge physique like a small hill seems clumsy, but in fact it is not, under the thick white fur, the strong muscle curve is still very obvious, every movement seems agile and fierce, according to this trend, it will not be long before Xiaodouzi and I will be caught up.
The fox king said easily, asking me and Xiaodouzi to find a way to help him delay time, but this is not easy, I struggled desperately in the snowfield, Xiaodouzi's speed is faster than me, and he is far ahead of me.
If I don't think of a way, I'll be fodder for this great ice ape in a few moments. I couldn't defeat the Great Ice Ape with strength and speed alone, and I desperately pressed the knowledge in my mind to think about whether there was any way to effectively stop the Great Ice Ape.
"Ground Burial Master, if you don't hurry up, you're going to turn into food in the mouth of the great ice ape!"
Xiao Douzi, who had been in a panic and was busy running for his life, probably regained some of his senses, and after finding that there was no one around, he looked back and saw that I was more than ten meters away from it, and couldn't help but jump in place and make noise.
I shouted angrily, "It's easy for you to say!" Don't look at the physical gap between the two of us, once my leg is inserted into the snow to pull it out, it will take a long time to pull it out, you little guy is good, jump out of more than ten meters.
I was arguing with Little Bean, and when I turned my head to look at the big ice ape, I stumbled upon a small forest not far away from the corner of my eye. Strictly speaking, it was not woodland, because there were only a few trees with silver costumes, standing there alone, looking lonely.
However, the glittering freezing point on the tree caught my eye. If you look closely, you can see that it is not ice crystals or icicles frozen on the trunk of the tree, but fruits!
It is a fruit that is very much in line with the environment of the Netherworld Snow Field, and the outer layer is wrapped in crystal clear ice, which gently shakes under the erosion of the blizzard, giving people a crumbling feeling.
As I ran, I focused on the fruits of the trees, and after thinking hard for a long time, my memory suddenly became clear.
"That's right! It's ice berries! Little Bean, you come back to me! Hurry up and pick all the ice berries for me!! ”
I won't be mistaken, these crumbling "ice fruits" hanging on the trees are definitely ice berries. This kind of fruit is of no use to me, and even the moment I get my hands on it, I will freeze myself instantly because of the extreme yin qi contained in it.
However, this ice berry is of great use to me now, if it is used properly, it can not only complete the time-delaying task assigned by the fox king, but even save my life!
Because this ice berry is the favorite fruit of the ice ape! The Great Ice Ape, which lives with the White Samurai in the Netherworld, does not need to eat because it is not a mortal body. But the Great Ice Ape is just a beast with low intelligence after all.
Because the shell of this ice berry is too hard, it is impossible for ordinary people to pry its shell, but with the bite force of the great ice ape, it is easy to bite open this ice berry. Among the ice berries is a sweet and delicious nectar of the ice spring.
This ice spring nectar is not only a rare delicacy for the Great Ice Ape, but unlike us humans, the Great Ice Ape has long produced antibodies to the Extreme Yin Qi in this Netherworld Snow Field, that is, it absorbs all the Extreme Yin Qi contained in the ice berries into the body, and there is no harm to it.
It can even nourish its soul. According to the burial scriptures, this tree that is as isolated as an uninhabited island in the vast snowfield should be called the Ice Emperor Tree. Although it is not uncommon, due to the size of the Netherworld Snow Field, the area is a little less lucky, and maybe it may not be encountered in a hundred years.
And because of this, I think that the ice berries on the Ice Emperor Tree are also a rare delicacy for the great ice ape, it is impossible for beasts to suppress their instinctive desires, food is one of the three major desires, and it is the most irresistible desire of beasts.
However, perhaps because I was too excited, my mind was full of plans after I got the ice berries, and I didn't pay attention to the terrain under my feet for a while. The uneven terrain covered under the deep snow really killed me.
I took a big step forward, but I stepped on it and fell into the snow. I hurriedly got up, there was not much left between the ice ape and me, and if the ink went any further, I would really die.
I was also anxious at the moment, and I desperately shouted to Xiaodouzi to ask it to help me get the ice berries as soon as possible. When Little Beanzi heard my call, he turned his head and saw the big ice ape roaring and rushing over, and his little face was obviously pale with fright.
However, the little guy was still interesting enough - the little bean didn't continue to run away on its own, turned his ass and ran hard towards the Ice Emperor Tree. I was relieved to see this, but when I looked down, I realized that I was already in a huge shadow.
Turning my head stiffly, I noticed that the ice ape was not behind me, and I subconsciously looked into the air - good guy! A good ape with a nimble body, the whole huge body actually jumped high into the air, forming a small world.
The stakes are very high, I don't dare to have any slack, the potential in my body seems to be stimulated, in the last moment when the big ice ape covered me completely, I jumped violently, and the next moment the big ice ape made a loud noise and landed where I had just fallen.
I finally avoided the tragic ending of being crushed into a meatloaf by the big ice ape, but this earthquake was enough for me to drink a pot, and the shock wave directly washed my whole body away, I drew a parabola in the sky, and then planted it in the snow.
"Underground Burial Master! I've got the ice berries for you! ”
After hearing the scream of Xiaodouzi, I didn't care about the pain coming from my body, and it was estimated that because of the shock wave just now, the stand-in had already suffered damage in several places. I jumped out of the ground and shouted at the little bean that was running towards me with a full load of ice berries.
"Little Bean! Throw one of the ice berries in the southwest direction!! ”
I let out a loud shout, and then I saw Little Bean jump up high and throw a plump, sparkling pale blue ice berry in his hand in a southwesterly direction. The Great Ice Ape originally had only one prey in his eyes, but perhaps I was lucky - I was right, the Great Ice Ape was more interested in ice berries than I was.
I saw that the ice berries drew a high parabola in the sky and flew out in the southwest direction, and the big ice ape let out an excited roar and jumped towards the landing point of the ice berries. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought to myself, if this stupid monkey wasn't interested in ice berries, my life would have been lost. While the ice ape was attracted away by the ice berries, I had a round with Little Bean, and then hid behind a cold rock.
"Little Bean, we don't have much time left now, the amount of an ice berry is not large, the big ice ape can eat it in two or three bites, we have to hurry."
I don't need to remind you, Little Douzi looked even more anxious than I did, and after glancing at the huge ice ape, his face was full of fear, and said, "Are you going to use this ice berry as bait to keep attracting its attention?"
But I don't have enough ice berries in my hand, there are only seven in total! You don't look at its big physique, it's not too much to eat a fruit in one bite. Uncle is estimated to defeat the white warrior It will take half an hour anyway, and we can't delay it that long.
I looked up at the sky above the Netherworld Snow Field, which had completely darkened at the moment, and the starry sky was shining, shedding a silvery night sky, and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
"This ice berry is also a rare thing, but we worked hard to get it back, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing if we just gave it to that stupid monkey? Little Bean, listen up, now I have a plan, if it is successful, we will be able to complete the task assigned to us by the Fox King. ”
Looking at my solemn face, the fear on Xiaodouzi's face was also reduced compared to just now, and it glanced up and down at me in disbelief, saying Underground Burial Master, aren't you bragging to me? I'm enough for those who like to brag, but you don't need to be tough here.
I rolled my eyes angrily, and said that you still think I am your kid, no nonsense - the big ice ape is already coming this way, hurry! Little Bean, you give me the four ice berries in your hand, and you keep three for yourself, and then I will give the order, I will throw you in whichever direction I ask you to throw, you can throw it, understand?
Due to the critical situation, I didn't have time to explain my plan to Xiaodouzi. When people are pushed to the limit, they can finally reach their unexpected potential, and I feel like I'm in that state.
Because the method I want to use at this moment is to use astrology against this damn stupid monkey! It's impossible to kill it, but tonight's night, it's really heaven to help me!
So, as long as this stupid monkey does what I want, it's no problem to tie it up and incapacitate it. Astrology, although it is easy to be ignored by most people, is actually a category in the art of Feng Shui.
The underground burial master not only uses the branches of the dragon veins on the ground to determine the location of the ancient tomb, but also uses celestial astrology. It's just that this science is much more complicated academically than the burial technique recorded in the funeral scriptures.
To use an analogy, astrology is more like mathematics, while earth burial is more like chemistry. The knowledge of astrology requires constant simulation in the mind to understand the mysteries.
Rote memorization is one solution, but it will become a disadvantage long ago, and it is not conducive to further study in the future. But because I don't have any talent for astrology, I basically memorize it by rote after reading the funeral scriptures.
But just as people selectively forget things they don't do often, things they don't use often, so it is with astrology. Since I don't usually have the opportunity to use astrology, I thought that I had forgotten about astrology.
But in the face of life and death, under the urging of adrenaline, this knowledge clearly appeared in my mind word for word, and I was confident that nothing would go wrong. As long as the bean can do what it is supposed to do perfectly.
