In the dark sky, there was no trace of the sun, and there were no clouds, and when I looked up, I could only see gray and dirty snow sprinkled like catkins.

And under this gray-white sky, there is a very wide area of rime snow forest.

Mu Tou and Wu Lin had just crossed a gentle snow slope more than ten meters high at this time, and when the two of them stopped halfway up the snow slope, they found that there were messy beast footprints outside the snow forest, so they hurriedly lowered their bodies and quietly retreated to the top of the slope.

The footprints outside the snow forest are very new, and the edges and corners at the edges have not even been smoothed by the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes, which indicates that the herd must have just arrived in the snow forest and is in a state of foraging at this time.

When encountering alien beasts in this state, the wisest thing to do is to stay away, because hungry alien beasts are the most vigilant, they are very sensitive to any abnormal sounds, and even smells, and if they are not careful, they will be captured.

As a veteran scavenger, Wu Lin was well aware of the dangers, and she immediately decided that even if she took a detour, she would not be able to enter the snow forest in front of her during this time period.

However, just as the two were about to turn around and leave, they heard a roar, like a spring thunder, suddenly from the depths of the snow forest, breaking through the barrier of the "woo" wind and reaching the ears of the two!

Immediately afterward, I saw a group of four-legged beasts kicking wildly, scattered and escaped from the snow forest!

It's a pack of toothed wolves!

Because the hiding snow cave that had been explored earlier was more than ten meters away from the position where the two were standing, in a hurry, they didn't have time to turn around and dodge, but fortunately, Wu Lin was experienced, and when he heard the roar, he pressed the shoulders of the wood and pressed him to the snow.

Seeing the wolves coming straight to the snow slope, the two of them didn't think about it, and immediately dug the ground with both hands, opened a shallow snow pit, and hid in it.

When the two of them hurriedly paddled the snow and hid their bodies in the snow pit, the toothed wolf with the head just rushed halfway up the snow slope!

I don't know if the toothed wolf was frightened by the existence behind him, or if he didn't notice them at all, and when the sound of "poof" treading snow passed by, Wu Lin, who was buried under the snow, was pleasantly surprised to find that this group of strange beasts showed no signs of stopping!

Out of caution, she held down the shoulders of the wood and held it in the snow pit for two or three minutes, until there was no more vibration around her, and then she quietly poked a vent with her fingers.

Through this three-finger-wide gap, while the two of them exhaled slowly, they suddenly found that a huge gray-haired giant beast was walking back to the snow forest with two toothed wolf corpses in its mouth.

Storm Bear!

Seeing this scene, Wu Lin finally understood why the group of toothed wolves would "turn a blind eye" to themselves!

On the periphery of the ruins, the Storm Bear is a well-deserved overlord, and almost any flesh and blood creature is its hunting target, and the toothed wolf is no exception! In the face of the absolute dominance of the violent bear, the toothed wolf, which is accustomed to group hunting, unless the population can reach a certain size, there is no room for resistance at all.

When the huge body of the storm bear completely submerged into the snow forest, Mu Tou and Wu Lin quietly stood up and climbed out of the snow pit.

Seeing that Wu Lin was about to go down the slope again, walking in the direction of the snow forest, the wood, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of her cotton coat and asked in a low voice, "Continue to walk along the snow forest?" ”

"Toothed wolves are cunning, they are also very sensitive to smells, and it is impossible for them not to notice when they pass by us! I estimate that the first wolf is only afraid of the violent bear, so there is no predation, once we leave the snow forest, this group of cunning toothed wolves will definitely come to the door as soon as possible! Wu Lin frowned and said.

"Isn't that big guy in the woods more dangerous?" Wood asked, puzzled.

"Violent bears are creatures that live alone most of the time, except during the breeding period, and one thing, they are very territorial, I say so, you understand?" Wu Lin turned his head and said.

"You mean, let's take advantage of the fact that the Storm Bear has just finished hunting and is in a state of fullness, and use its territory to get rid of those cunning toothed wolves?" Wood said thoughtfully.

Wu Lin nodded, "This can only be regarded as relatively safe!" If you're unlucky and you happen to run into a violent bear during the breeding season, we'll still have the fun! ”

"What is the breeding season of the violent bear?" Wood asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Wu Lin glanced at the gray sky, and after faintly replying "I don't know", he took the lead and walked down the snow slope......

The terrain of the snow forest is a bit similar to a small basin, this kind of terrain is already windy, and the trees cover it, which also leads to the fact that the snow here is relatively soft, and you can almost reach your knees when you step on it.

Because they were afraid that the sound of "crunching, crunching" stepping on the snow would attract the attention of the violent bear, Mu and Wu Lin tried their best to walk on their toes, but even so, they still had to avoid those huge footprints far away, so as not to spread the sound and smell to the violent bear.

100 meters!

This is the safe distance set by Wu Lin, although the violent bear is not as sharp as the toothed wolf in terms of hearing and smell, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Thanks to the deep snow here, and the wind is relatively small, the footprints of the beasts such as the violent bear, even if it is a day or two, will not be covered by the snow, after the two stepped into the snow forest, they found a relatively smooth route with snow, and walked in carefully.

The snow forest is arguably the most vibrant area on the surface of the ruins, where not only are all kinds of exotic animals come here to hunt and inhabit, but also many strange mutated plants grow. Mu Tou and Wu Lin took this rare opportunity to be fortunate to be in it, which can be regarded as an eye-opener!

Although Wu Lin has been in the ruins all year round, the number of times he has entered the snow forest is only a handful, first, he doesn't have the courage, and second, he doesn't have the strength!

Just ask, if you weren't cornered, who would be stupid enough to get into the snow forest?

While watching the snow and finding their way, the two only walked out more than 100 meters away, and found a bunch of blue-black fruits on an alienated plant that resembled a coral ice sculpture!

This fruit, because of its resemblance to the ice grapes in the north, is named "ice grapes" by the survivors of the ruins. However, compared with real ice grapes, this blue-black mutant fruit, although slightly larger, is not as dense as ice grapes, and when the whole bunch is counted, there are only a dozen of them.

Wu Lin once saw this kind of "ice grapes" in the stall of businessman Lao Meng, and its purchase price was staggering: three can be exchanged for a gray dog patty, or one metric of purified water!

According to Lao Meng, the biggest role of this ice grape is to make wine!

Of course, the wine made from this ice grape cannot be enjoyed by ordinary waste pickers, and only the Evolver can afford to pay for it.

After seeing this bunch of ice grapes, Wu Lin first cautiously glanced around to make sure that there were no strange beast footprints around, and then he took out a pocket sewn of rags from his arms and walked on tiptoe.

However, just as the two of them walked to the bottom of the tree and were about to raise their hands to pick the blue-black strange fruits on the tree, they heard a thunderous roar and a loud and sharp eagle's cry in the snow forest not far away!
