Chapter 434: Repeating the Old Trick
The two went all the way south, and soon arrived at the sea area where the narwhal rioted in the area, the ice surface was damaged for more than ten miles, and the broken ice floe had frozen again.
Soon after departure, the wind began to blow on the ice field, and the strong wind blew snow to obscure the sky and the sun, and in order to avoid getting lost, the two stopped and used the aura barrier to resist the wind and snow.
Zuo Dengfeng frowned and looked at the wind and snow outside, this kind of wind and snow could easily bury the box that had been dropped earlier, and it was more difficult to find the box than he had expected.
The wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and lasted for a whole day, after the wind and snow stopped, the two set off again, swept a thousand miles to the southeast, and then circled to find, for three consecutive days, the two did not find the boxes they threw before, there was no reference on the ice field, and it was difficult to find those few boxes that were not big on the vast ice field.
On the fourth day, the big head began to panic, and if they could not find food supplies within seven days, the two of them would be in danger of running out of food. Fortunately, at noon on the fourth day, the two found the boxes, the distance between these boxes was five or six miles from each other, there were three in total, one of the boxes was complete, the other two were seriously damaged and deformed, this was not the work of the beast, the beast did not know these things, but caused by a fall from a height, even if there was a buffer layer, most of the food stored in it was damaged, less than half of it was complete.
The two picked out the food in the broken box, then opened the undamaged box, put the food and water in it into the wooden box and backpack, the food and water weighed no less than 200 catties, the two tied their backs, and then returned.
The food in the box was placed by Zuo Dengfeng that day, and there was food and drinking water in it, and he couldn't remember the specific types of food and drinking water, but he clearly remembered that there were two bottles of wine in each wooden box, and the liquor in the two broken boxes had been broken, while the liquor in this complete box was missing.
The wooden box is intact, the lid is also closed, the liquor cannot disappear out of thin air, the only possibility is that someone took the liquor, the person who took the liquor can only be the scarab, because the scarab is addicted to alcohol, so he took the liquor, but he didn't want everyone to know that he returned to Middle-earth, so after taking the liquor, he closed the lid again.
Zuo Dengfeng did not inform the big head of this discovery, although the scarab escaped, the essence of this person was not bad, and he did not destroy the rest of the food. If the beetles destroyed all the food along the way, they would starve to death on the ice field, but the beetles did not do so. In addition, there is another detail that can show that the scarab is not bad, that is, when the scarab left with the scarab on his back, he once handed him a bottle of white wine, but the alcoholic scarab did not take the bottle of white wine, which shows that he was ashamed in his heart. Such a person who is not very bad, let him live.
"Zuo Zhenren, what are you thinking?" On the way back, the big head saw Zuo Dengfeng frowning, and asked questions in confusion.
"Lang is taking a lot of time, we need to speed up." Zuo Dengfeng said casually, a man doesn't necessarily have to say anything when he finds a problem, and the long-term solitude has made him develop the habit of thinking alone and bearing it independently.
When they returned, the two did not circle again, the breath of the thirteen and the boss was easy to identify in the many mixed breaths, under the guidance of the Qi Observation Technique, the two walked in a straight line, and returned to the ancient city the next day.
"Zuo Zhenren, we don't have much time." Datou handed a stack of materials to Zuo Dengfeng, "It's the polar day now, and the polar day will end in half a month, once it reaches the polar night, the temperature will drop by more than 20 degrees, and the surroundings are pitch black." ”
"Isn't there an excessive amount of time between the polar day and the polar night?" Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand and did not pick up the information of the big head.
"We're not far from the North Pole at the moment, and we barely have any extra time." The big head took back the information and explained.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and didn't ask again, half a month was enough.
"Zuo Zhenren, ordinary people can't stand it at minus forty degrees, they can't see clearly after dark, and it will snow here in winter, the climate will be worse, and it will take at least ten days for us to get out of the polar night range." Seeing that Zuo Dengfeng didn't pay attention to it, the big head reminded again.
"How much time do we have left?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked.
"Leaving now doesn't necessarily mean leaving the North Pole before the polar night." The big head replied.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Zuo Dengfeng asked dissatisfiedly.
"I'm also not familiar with the North Pole." The big head smiled bitterly and shook his head, his understanding of the North Pole was all based on the three days before departure and the information in his hand, before which he never thought that he would run to the North Pole one day.
"Build two ice sleds and drag them." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and said, the soldiers did not play a role in the trip to the North Pole, but before leaving, he asked the big head to take the soldiers, since it was a decision he made, he would bear the corresponding consequences, and these people must be taken out alive.
"Okay." The big head nodded in agreement, it was very simple to make an ice sled, it didn't take long, but it could increase the speed of everyone's travel several times, of course, the ice sled needed to be dragged by the two of them.
The big head is rushing to make the ice sled, Zuo Dengfeng is sorting the food, Thirteen is lying on the lid of the fire well and sleeping, the boss squatting next to Zuo Dengfeng and looking at him, Zuo Dengfeng will occasionally give it food, the boss will give it after getting the food, and wait until the thirteen shake his head before swallowing himself, this action is the nature of animals, but also the nature of human beings, and it is the respect for the strong.
Zuo Dengfeng was relieved to see this situation, he knew Thirteen too well, Thirteen has a strong self-esteem, as long as others respect it, it will protect each other, the boss has found his position, Thirteen will not only not bully it, but will also protect it when necessary, this cat and mouse will definitely get along well in the future.
"It doesn't eat this, you do." Zuo Dengfeng took out a bag of dried fruits from the food, and there were a few walnuts in it, which was the boss's favorite, I don't know if it was his favorite food, anyway, it was his favorite to gnaw.
Seeing walnuts, Zuo Dengfeng remembered the iron shoes again, but it didn't feel good to think of the old people, which made him feel more lonely, it doesn't matter how long people live, the most important thing is that there are friends and relatives around him, at this time the relatives and friends have passed away, and there are strangers around, this kind of loneliness is the loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow, and it is an indescribable indescribable loneliness, fortunately, there are still thirteen and the boss, they are also old people, although they are not people.
Datou is not good at making ice sleds, the structure of the things created is not reasonable, Zuo Dengfeng can only do it himself, try to minimize the area of effort to save effort, reduce the height to be stable, increase the width appropriately to avoid crowding, the wood is ready-made, there are nails here, and it will be completely completed in an hour.
"Zuo Zhenren, when will you wake them up?" The big head pointed at Wan Xiaotang and the others.
"Before you go." Zuo Dengfeng thought about it and replied, this move was aimed at eliminating everyone's sense of confusion, he deeply knew the confusion and confusion after the ice woke up, he could bear it, Wan Xiaotang and the others did not have such a good psychological quality as him.
"Okay." The big head nodded in agreement.
"Don't tell them what happened in the near future when they wake up, if they ask Ma Jingui's whereabouts, they will say that he is lost and missing." Zuo Dengfeng thought for a moment and spoke again.
"Okay." The big head nodded suspiciously.
Zuo Dengfeng turned around and began to pack up the dry food, and did not say anything more.
This time the dry food was twice as much as before, and the two of them packed up and prepared to go west, Thirteen and the boss followed, and Zuo Dengfeng felt that it was okay to bring them, so he took them.
"Zuo Zhenren, are you sure?" When he swept west, the big head asked in a speech, Zuo Dengfeng had already dealt with everything before leaving, and he was completely in a posture of leaving immediately after coming back.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, in fact, he was not sure, but he was more upset when he said it, so it was better not to say it.
Five hundred miles, two hours, when I came to the ice peak again, the ice below had frozen again, the ice ballast was jagged, not solid, and there were some dead animal carcasses mixed on it.
"Zuo Zhenren, is the rope still used?" The big head pointed to the rope that had previously been tied to the icicle.
"Put it away, and keep the towing sled. Are there many animals around? Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"Not much, very little." The big head squinted his eyes slightly, and then replied.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and no matter how many animals were infected by bacteria around, he had to use pure yang true qi to warm up this area, so as to lure aquatic animals to come, but this luring process would definitely take longer than the previous one, because the nearby animals were almost dead, and they could only lure those in the distance.
"You two stay here, don't come out." Zuo Dengfeng extended his aura and grabbed a three-foot ice cave, put the wooden box outside the cave, and ordered Thirteen and the boss to lie down here.
Hearing this, Thirteen and the Boss immediately got in, Zuo Dengfeng nodded at them, turned around and swept down the ice wall, and when he came to the ice surface, the pure yang true qi immediately emitted, quickly melting the ice surface and warming up the seawater.
The big head took this opportunity to quickly unpack and organize the food.
The water conducts heat very well, and the frozen ice surface is quickly melted away, and the melting area is getting larger and larger, but the number of strange fish and giant snakes gathered around is not large.
"Come down and take care of me." Zuo Dengfeng beckoned to the big head, urging the pure yang true qi to consume a lot of spiritual energy, and he was wearing a gauntlet on his left hand, so he couldn't pinch the trick to gather qi.
The big head swept down when he heard the sound, Zuo Dengfeng took off the pure yang gauntlet and handed it to him, the big head took it and put it on curiously, his hand was very small, and it was very wide after putting it on, but there was no problem in promoting pure yang true qi, and the cultivators who had survived the heavenly tribulation knew how to do this.
Zuo Dengfeng took the opportunity to pinch the fingers to restore the aura, the big head cultivation was insufficient, and after a quarter of an hour, he couldn't hold on, Zuo Dengfeng took the gauntlet and applied it again, half an hour later, a large number of strange fish and sea snakes gathered in the sea again, and there was a riot under the cluster, green blood surged, and floating corpses appeared frequently.
The big head stared at the qi, frowned and shook his head after a long time, Xuanwu was at the bottom of the sea, but it didn't mean to float......
