Chapter 33: Snowy Night
Shu Li's spiritual power quietly dispersed, sinking under the snow, and exploring the scenes covered by the snow one by one.
On the east side of the poisonous water pool is a towering mountain rock, which stretches into the fox territory in the distance, and the rest of the directions are open space, so the fox territory's territory happens to be tightly surrounded here.
There is no grass growing within about ten meters around the waterhole, and further afield, there is some dead grass growing on the ground. It can be seen that the pond water is highly toxic.
To the south of the poisonous pool, the terrain gradually elevated, and a hidden cave was located on the high ground. Presumably, this is where the fox clan uses to hide food.
Shu Li searched around, trying to find a suitable place to dig out the ground.
Not far from the poison pool, a huge tree leaned on the rocks, and its branches were crooked, and most of it was sticking out of the cliff.
There is a tree hole under the giant tree, and the entrance of the hole is open in the backlight, facing the mountain rocks, and from the outside, you can't even notice that there is a tree hole there!
"It's a great place!"
Shu Li determined the direction, dug under the giant tree, and opened the passage in the hole of the tree.
She pushed away the snow under the tree, stretched out most of her body from the hole in the tree, took a deep breath, and the cold air entered her lungs, dispelling the fatigue of living in the dark for a long time: "It's still comfortable to live outside......
The blizzard did not mean to stop at all, and Shu Li shuddered.
Although she is afraid of the cold, this is the best opportunity to go to the fox warehouse!
The wind and snow are so strong, the foxes must be hiding in their burrows to keep warm. In addition, the footprints left in the snow were quickly blown away by the wind and covered by the snow, which freed them from worries.
Thinking of this, Shu Li was no longer afraid of the cold, retreated and pedaled lightly, and ran out.
As she passed the poisonous pool, a faint fishy smell came into her nose, and she became dizzy and dizzy.
"No wonder the fox clan didn't send someone to guard it, it turns out that the poison in this water is so intense that even the air is contaminated! Gotta stay away from the water. ”
Immediately, Shu Li was a little worried, afraid that those foxes were not stored properly, so that the food would be contaminated with the poisonous stream water.
But after entering the warehouse of the fox clan, this doubt was dispelled.
I saw that in the cave that was carved out as a granary, there were large and small air-dried demon beast meat hanging from uneven wooden frames. The meat was not only stripped of its internal organs and fur, but also smeared with fine salt.
The entrance to the cave was against the wind, and the smell of the pool water did not come in.
Shu Li walked around the cave a few times, and there was a lot of food in it, but it was just food.
Thinking that the fox clan who was cunning by nature could hide something valuable here?
She gave priority to selecting the jerky with the most energy to include in the Sumeru ring, but the ring was full of bright stones, and the capacity was insufficient.
Shu Li also stayed for a short time, and immediately evacuated along the passage when the ring was full.
At this time, Da Li had been waiting anxiously at the bottom of the passage for a long time.
"Whoa...... Whoop ......"
There was a sound in the passage, and the big pear pricked up her ears.
Just when he didn't know why, a large silver-white hairball fell from above.
Along with gravel and dust.
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
The big pear standing below was caught off guard and inhaled a large mouthful of dust.
Shu Li patted the dust on her waist and abdomen, and casually took out a properly marinated fawn hind leg meat from the Sumeru ring and threw it to Da Li: "Is this to your liking?" ”
Da Li nodded busily, knowing that Shu Li's trip to the fox clan would be very smooth.
Shu Li hurriedly ran into the stone room: "I have to quickly vacate a Sumeru ring and move all the dried meat, and I will have a lot of dreams at night." ”
As he spoke, he quickly sorted out a vacant place and transferred all the moonlight stones and dried meat stored in the ring.
When she was properly settled and ready to explore the fox clan again, Da Li followed step by step: "I'm going too." ”
Shu Li looked at his leg and decisively refused: "No!" ”
"It's still early, and I guess tomorrow the snow will stop, and if I don't get everything done today, I'll leave marks on the snow. I'll go up with you, and by the way, dig the passage to blame the wolf clan! Da Li raised his head, and he would not stop without him.
What Da Li said made sense, but Shu Li was worried that the passage was too steep and his hind legs were unable to support it.
After thinking about it for a while, Shu Li leaned down and said to Da Li: "You climb up, I'll carry you up." ”
Shu Li's body size is three times the size of Da Li, and it is relatively easy to carry him on his back.
She used her mental power to turn into a rope, firmly fastened the big pear to her back, and jumped sharply, and entered the passage.
It didn't take long for them to appear in the clearing next to Poison Tan.
"Wow! This pool of water smells disgusting! Da Li sniffed curiously and frowned in disgust.
He didn't have the dizziness symptoms of Shu Li, it seems that the wolf clan is more resistant to poison than the Xi clan.
Shu Li was afraid that Da Li would play with his heart, and his spiritual power instantly turned into a "dog leash", and pulled Da Li, who was wandering around, into the granary of the fox clan.
The two of them quickly removed the jerky from a high place and put it into the Sumeru ring.
Then the division of labor began, Shu Li put away his right paw, only used his left front paw to find a corner on the south side of the cave, and dug out a jagged and very simple tunnel close to the surface, while Da Li left his smell and hair in the cave and tunnel, and faked the illusion that the wolf clan had come to recover the loot.
After this toss, it was already dark, and it was estimated that it was almost night. The wind and snow are very face-saving, and there is no sign of stopping.
Shu Li and Da Li stood at the other end of the tunnel, resting for a while.
"Big Pear, are you really not going to go back to the wolf clan? Or tell me about safety? ”
The place where they are has already left the territory of the fox clan, and it is estimated that they can return to the wolf clan if they keep going south.
"No, no." Ori's attitude is very resolute. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he could feel that his master was very resistant to appearing in front of outsiders, so he would rather accompany Shu Li than go back.
Shu Li sighed and said, "Why don't you go for a run, yo-yo and bend, these days are always suffocated in the stone room, it must be very uncomfortable." ”
Da Li prick up his ears vigilantly: "Master, you don't want to abandon me here, right?" ”
Shu Li slapped him with a paw: "What nonsense!" ”
"And you're going to go out for a walk with me?" Big Pear said with a grin.
So, they ran or jumped in the snowstorm and played like crazy.
It wasn't until he ran all over the body that he was hot and his limbs were sore, and then he walked slowly to the tunnel.
Suddenly, Pear stood still, leaned down, and hid herself behind a fallen dead tree trunk.
"There are monsters!"
Although Shu Li is not as quick as Da Pear, she also follows the same example, clinging to the ground, and the light silver hair on her body blends with the white snow.
