A month later.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

There are countless large and small combustible ices piled up here, some of which are as transparent as glass, and some of which are light gray and very rock-like.

"Rustling ......"

Ye Xi held a black dagger and focused on slicing the combustible ice. Irregular chunks of combustible ice are sliced into square shapes.

After a month of searching, almost all the meteorites scattered to the Arctic waters were found, and some were not found, Ye Xi guessed that the meteorite was damaged during the fall, causing the source stone to leak out and be swallowed by the fierce creatures in the sea.

This time he received a huge amount.

The number of source stones in the Arctic waters is quite considerable, all of which add up to more than 50 catties, which completely makes up for the losses when they are pursued by drought.

After finding Qi Yuanshi, Ye Xi was much empty, and now the rest of the time he spent mining combustible ice, polishing combustible ice, and polishing them into cubes. Because the irregular shape is not conducive to transportation, if the combustible ice is polished into a square shape, it is easy to fold and ship.

"Meow~"

The ragdoll big white cat rubbed Ye Xi's back like a coquette, wanting him to play with it.

Ye Xi touched its hairy leg and soothed it.

"Good, good. ”

The big white cat of the ragdoll meowed twice as if complaining, and lay down next to Ye Xi with its paws in his hands, and watched Ye Xi shaving beside him with big blue eyes.

After a while, Feathered Phil and Glomorant returned from hunting.

Phil caught a powerful snow beast, and the cormorant caught a super big fish in the big river, which was so large that it looked like it could eat two large meals.

Ye Xi raised his head and greeted with a smile: "Come back......

Phil: "Hmm!"

Feathered Phil laid down his prey, stretched out his sharp nails, skillfully bled the snow beast, peeled the skin and bones, and then divided it into pieces, and finally grabbed a large ball of snow and rubbed it to clean the flesh.

Ye Xi suddenly stopped his movements, turned around and said to Fei Er with great interest,

"Did I mention that there is a peeling tribe in Xicheng, and the craftsmanship of the peeling tribesmen is simply amazing, they can completely peel off every blood vessel and bone of the prey, and finally put it back together. They can also peel off a single skin in one go, but there is not the slightest foam on the skin......"

Fei Er raised his long snow-white eyelashes, and looked at Ye Xi with beautiful blue eyes.

Then he suddenly got up, asked for the super big fish that the cormorant had caught, and began to skin the big fish at a rapid pace. The skin of the fish was peeled together with the scales on it very completely, and after peeling, all the large and small spines in the flesh were pulled out and thrown aside.

After finishing everything, he looked at Ye Xi, as if he was showing.

Ye Xi: "......"

Was it his statement that convinced Phil?

After a pause, Ye Xi explained: "I mean, if there are people from the Peel Tribe, there is no need to deal with the prey so trouble......"

He now talks to Feather Man Phil about Xicheng at every opportunity, and wants to kidnap him and the big white cat of the ragdoll back to Xicheng, who knows that it seems to have the opposite effect.

Yuren Feier's expression did not change much, he was still indifferent, but Ye Xi could clearly feel that he was unhappy.

So he hurriedly remedied: "I mean, you should really go and appreciate the art of skinning the tribesmen, it's so interesting, I was stunned when I saw it for the first time." ”

Phil: "I don't want to see it. ”

With that, he picked up the considerable amount of leftovers left over from Ye Xi's combustible ice, piled them together, and then looked up at the cormorants.

Without Phil opening his mouth, the cormorant, who had been getting along with each other for more than a month, lowered his head and spewed hot white vapor, igniting the combustible ice.

Phil skewered the meat and began to set up the shelf.

Ye Xi glanced back and made up for the general praise: "Feier is getting better and better at building a barbecue grill!"

The cold aura on Phil's body suddenly eased, and he said, "It's okay, you taught me." ”

Ye Xi coaxed him: "Now you are better than me." ”

Phil quickly finished setting up the barbecue grill, making the fire a little weaker, and after slowly licking the pieces of meat on the rack, he walked up to Ye Xi and said, "I'll help you." ”

Ye Xi: "Okay, I'm in trouble." ”

Phil picked up a piece of stone-ground combustible ice, and he cut it with his fingernails without a knife, like cutting tofu, very easily.

Ye Xi glanced at Fei Er and said, "There is a carving tribe in our Xicheng, and they carve bricks as fast and good as you! ”

Phil was indifferent: "They're not here. ”

Ye Xi: "You can see them when you go to Xicheng." ”

He turned his head to look at Feier and said, "At the beginning, the bricks of our Xicheng city wall were all carved and polished by the tribesmen one by one, just like the snow-capped mountains and mountains, if you see the city wall of Xicheng, you will definitely be amazed by its magnificence! Don't you want to see it?"

Phil carved combustible ice with his head down, not saying a word.

Ye Xi: "The carving tribesmen will also carve all kinds of statues, don't you like the small brass handicrafts very much? The molds of those handicrafts are carved by the carving tribesmen, isn't it beautiful?"

Phil stopped his movements, was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you miss your Xicheng?"

Ye Xi paused and said solemnly: "...... It's time for me to go back. ”

He didn't plan to look for Aori alone anymore, so he decided to go back to Xicheng first, and then try to find it when his strength was raised in the future. And his days in the North Pole are not long gone, and it's time to go.

"Will you come back to Xicheng with me? You're going to love it. ”

Phil was unmoved.

Ye Xi saw that he couldn't move him, and decided to save the country.

He scratched the neck of the big white cat and said temptingly: "When you arrive in Xicheng, how about I send a thorn finch to play with you? The thorn finch is not as big as a cormorant, but it is no problem to carry you up, and when the time comes, you can fly to the sky to play!"

"Meow!"

The upper body of the big white cat of the ragdoll was raised, and its eyes were bright.

Ye Xi made persistent efforts and continued to tempt: "There is a big lake in Xicheng, called Star Lake, there is a kind of star algae in it, it tastes bouncing, very chewy, and the most important thing is that after eating too much, you will not be afraid of water, even if you accidentally fall into the water, you don't have to be afraid of drowning." ”

"In addition to the lake, there is also a river that flows into the lake, and the upper reaches of the river are very wide, and there are many delicious river fish in it, and the taste is different from here, and some of the fish are delicious enough to swallow the tongue!"

"Xicheng is not far from the sea, the sea there is not as cold as here, there are more big fish in the sea, and they are delicious, don't you want to taste it?"

The ragdoll white cat was dumbfounded, and saliva was secreting in its mouth.

Ye Xi was tempted by his voice: "You are my life-saving cat, when you arrive in Xicheng, I will send someone to catch you as many fish as you want, how about sending a soldier to catch fish for you?"

After learning the language, he already knew from Phil that it was the Ragdoll White Cat who really saved him.

Ye Xi scratched the lower neck of the ragdoll big white cat: "Don't you like to tickle, when you get to Xicheng, I'll let a few people scratch you and comb your hair!"

"There are golden canaries, endless fish, endless exotic flowers and plants, endless water from different springs, and many, many interesting things......

The big white cat can't stand it anymore.

With a bang, he raised his paw and slapped the ground violently, slapping a big hole in the ice, looking at Ye Xi with blazing eyes, and the delicate and delicate cat shouted,

"Fish!"

To play, to fish, to go!!

Ye Xi is now at level 10 in cat language, and he understood it at once, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, let's go!"

Quack.

An extremely slight sound sounded.

A person and a cat both noticed it, and they all turned their heads to look.

Feathered Phil let go of the powdered combustible ice in his hand and gave them a cold look.

Ye Xi sincerely said to Feather Man Feier: "Feier, let's go together, leave here with us and go to Xicheng." ”

Phil did not answer.

The Arctic is a lonely, cold world, with snow white everywhere you look, and all the creatures look white to protect themselves and facilitate hunting, not as colorful as outside.

But this is the home where he has lived for many years, and no matter how cold and monotonous it is, it is impossible to give it up easily.

"Eat!"

He stood up and said coldly.

Ye Xi lowered his eyes and stopped talking. The big white cat of the ragdoll was depressed all of a sudden, looked at the feather man Feier, then at Ye Xi, at the gully, and licked his claws.

Feier's huge snow-white wings were propped up behind him, and his hands as pale as snow handed Ye Xi a string of half-cooked snow beast meat, threw a string of raw fish meat to the ragdoll big white cat, and then gave the remaining snow beast meat and most of the fish meat to the cormorants.

Ye Xi sprinkled a little salt and gnawed slowly, not too meaty.

The two of them, a cat and a bird, surrounded the burning ice and fire and ate until dark.

The cold wind of the Arctic howled, blowing the flames on the combustible ice to the ground, and the snow and dust rustled on Ye Xi's leather boots.

It was a silent dinner.

After eating, Ye Xi wiped his hands and said very formally to Feier, who was extinguishing the combustible ice flames: "The day after tomorrow at the latest, I must leave here with the cormorants." ”

Phil didn't move, but his breath became dangerous.

Ye Xi's expression was calm, he looked at Feier's side face, and his tone was firm: "I'm sorry, I have to leave, you know, I am the lord of Xicheng City, and I am also Xiwu, I have a responsibility that I must bear." ”

"Even if I want to fight you, I must leave......"

Fei Er put down the food in his hand and stood up, and looked at Ye Xi coldly, his breath was cold and dangerous.

The air seemed to freeze.

Just when Ye Xi also thought that Fei Er was going to beat him, and the cormorant also put up his crown feathers to prepare for the battle, Feather Man Fei Er flipped his wings and flew back to the cave without saying a word—it was the first ice cave on the top of the snowy mountain.

Since Ye Xi and the Gulvet came, it had been a long time since he had been to the first layer of ice cave.

"Meow~"

The ragdoll big white cat screamed unhappily, and its snow-white paws slammed Ye Xi's back on the head, and with a flick of his tail, he jumped towards the snowy mountain.

Ye Xi rubbed his head and sighed with a headache.
