The snow fell from the sky like a silver sea, and the pearls were scattered, flattening the hills and ravines in the mountains.

It was already dark, and Charles used his strong mental strength to find his way instead of relying on the lights, and slid and then rolled down the hill in the darkness on the sled.

Charles skied on the flats and had skied a few times at home, but skiing in the mountains wasn't enough.

His level is not to mention Diana, and even the mermaid girl Meriti can't catch up.

God knows why a mermaid living in the sea would have such a talent for skiing.

Charles's destination was a cave a few kilometers away, where he had been acclimatizing to the higher altitudes for the past few days, and had been living there except for going out to hide and hunt.

He slid cautiously through the valley for a few moments, then stopped near a boulder.

Behind the boulder is a cave that forms an angle between the boulder and the entrance so that the wind from outside does not pour directly into the cave.

He found several caves in the mountains with hidden caves outside the entrance, which should have been specially set up by the orcs who entered the mountain to cultivate, and when he first entered the cave, he found traces of a bonfire.

Charles put away his sleigh, and instead of rushing into the cave, he came to a small igloo not far downwind.

It was a makeshift toilet he had built, and he didn't want to live with his excrement in a poorly ventilated cave.

After releasing the memory, Charles took a pot from the storage ring and took a large pot of fresh snow from the snow before entering the cave.

In a world where there is no industrial pollution, the snow that has just fallen is clean, but after a long time, you don't know it, and maybe the animals that are foraging around will make it easier when they pass by.

The cave was about seven or eight meters deep, less than three meters wide at its widest point, and just high enough for him to light a campfire and sleep.

It was cold inside the cave, and a layer of ash from the fire covered the still smoldering charcoal.

In addition to a large amount of food, Charles also had a lot of wood in his storage ring, and he was afraid that he would repeat the mistake of his ancestor Philip and them being trapped in a cave by heavy snow, and he didn't expect that he would be able to go out and catch the head of the dragon and come back as a reserve like his ancestors.

The fire soon rose up, and the cave soon became much warmer.

The fresh snow that had just been brought back had turned into clear water on the fire, and then it was boiling.

The altitude here is high, and the boiling temperature of the water is a little higher than 90 degrees Celsius, which is why Charles does not eat stewed pork offal at Lao Zang. Although the meat can be stewed for a long time at this temperature, it still tastes a little weird.

Fortunately, there are not many bacteria and microorganisms in the new snow, and the temperature is enough to sterilize and disinfect, but if you go further up, you can only take out the pressure cooker and use it.

When Nessario was giving Charles mountaineering training, he took a day to give Charles a lesson on mountaineering diet, and Ru, who was actually very afraid of death, listened very carefully.

Generations of time-travelers have also brought concepts like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, so Charles sounds stress-free.

When hiking, you should mainly eat carbohydrates that are easy to digest and absorb during the day, and eat foods rich in fat and protein that are difficult to digest at night to store calories. And eating some high-calorie foods before bed can keep your body warm.

Charles took out the cup, put some tea leaves made from persimmon leaves in it, and poured some hot water to make tea.

The vitamin C content of tea made from persimmon leaves is much higher than that of ordinary coarse tea, and the price is cheaper than coarse tea, which is a very popular imported drink on the prairie.

Then he took out a palm-sized piece of fat and thin bacon, cut it into pieces and put it in the pot, then cut a carrot from the house of Miss Rabbit Clara and put it in, and finally put in a little chili powder.

He had traveled a long time on the prairie to Salt Lake City, where he had consumed a lot of food along the way, and he had a lot of food to replenish with the help of Clara and Anatoly after he was released from prison.

Charles sat on the stone in front of the stove with his teacup in his hand, drinking tea while it was hot, while waiting for the dinner in the pot to be cooked.

The requirements for eating here are not high, and when the salted meat is fully heated and absorbed, the carrots are blanched and ready to eat.

He has a lot of fresh meat in reserve these days, but it has to be stewed or grilled in a pressure cooker, and he plans to save it for a higher altitude to eat, when the time comes, eating fresh meat can boost his morale, and he is not afraid that the smell of barbecue will attract demonic beasts.

He quickly finished the meat and carrots in the pot, and after putting two slices of bread in the pot at the end and softening the soup at the bottom of the pot and eating it, his dinner was settled.

After setting up the magic at the entrance of the cave to prevent the beasts from entering, Charles took out the mat and spread it on the ground, then took out the sleeping bag and placed it on it.

The hair dryer that Rurika gave to Charles was useful again, and Charles used it to blow the inside of the hot water bottle.

The material of the sleeping bag is very simple, the outside is a layer of linen coated with slime glue, the middle is a layer of down, and the inner layer is soft and breathable cotton.

Charles's coat was made of similar material to his sleeping bag, and after blowing it hot, he took off his shoes, coat and pants, and a few sweaters and pants inside, and hung them on the throwing knife stuck in the rock wall next to the campfire.

When hiking, the jacket should be windproof and waterproof, the sweater pants as an insulation layer should be able to cover the warm air around the body, and the close-fitting clothing should be perspirant.

He sweated a little in his old house today, and when he came back, he rolled in the snow and let a little snow get into his clothes, so he needed to dry his clothes by the campfire, otherwise the warmth would be greatly reduced.

It is even more important to keep the socks and shoes on his feet dry, otherwise the clammy and cold feet will be enough to hurt him.

Although there are many things that can be handled with magic, he doesn't dare to waste magic power casually now, who knows if there will be any accidents such as avalanches in the next moment.

According to the plan, he will start climbing the main peak of the Tianshan Mountain tomorrow morning, and rest for every two to three days depending on the situation.

Charles's awe of nature and the fact that it serves as a place for orcs to experience shows that the mountain is as dangerous as those of the beasts.

Moreover, he chose to climb the mountain in the harsh winter, and the difficulty coefficient was much higher than in spring and summer.

But he didn't dare to wait, if someone who opened the plug-in took the Ice Gun before he did, he would have to crouch in the corner and draw small circles.

Charles soon fell asleep, and he logged into the dream platform on the Rurik Kingdom to see if there was any new news on the train.

While Charles was searching for information, a figure appeared in the cave.
