Chapter 21: Winter has arrived
August from autumn to winter is quietly spent in intense training, and September, when winter and snow first arrive, is also gradually passing under the intense preparation for cold resistance.
Now, it's the coming of October.
On the first day of October, the seven received a little happy news - there was no training plan for October and they were free to move. The one who brought this news was the fox king who was cheeky again.
"Really, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
Hearing the news that there was no training, Yueli couldn't help but ask the fox king who was eating on the side. This is too weird, isn't it?
"Do I need to lie to you? Besides, will it do me any good to lie to you?"
The fox king didn't even look at the moon glass, but just concentrated on eating.
"Give me a reason, there's no reason we wouldn't believe it. ”
Zhou Tong spoke, to convince people, at least there must be a reason.
"Hibernation. ”
The fox king didn't even think about it, so he gave such an answer.
"Hibernation?!"
All seven people of Dao Peak expressed surprise at this reason. Ordinary animals hibernate, they can accept it, but spirit animals hibernating, they have heard of it for the first time.
"What, is there anything strange about the hibernation of spirit beasts? Spirit beasts, no matter how spirit they are, they are beasts, what's wrong with hibernation?"
The Fox King retorted.
"Do you really need it?"
"Yes. ”
"Why?"
"Rest. ”
"Enjoy life?"
"Of course. ”
............
After a series of inquiries, everyone determined one thing: the spirit beasts hibernated, not physiologically necessary. It's a good night's sleep in the winter, which is a pleasure for them.
Like the seven people of Wendao Peak, if you can enjoy life, you naturally have to enjoy it.
"You're not going to hibernate too, are you?"
Bai Yu asked this question, and the others were more concerned about this.
"Then it's up to you to think about it or not. ”
"Then go back to sleep!"
"It's better not to wake up. ”
"Don't wake up, we don't have anything to eat. ”
"It's not good to stay outside in winter, sleep obediently. ”
"The people's hearts are longing, you can go to hibernation for the rest of the year. ”
The five of them had already expressed their opinions, and unanimously agreed that the fox king should go to sleep.
The Fox King looked at Wang Ling and Moon Shadow, who had not yet spoken, hoping to get a reservation ticket for the two of them. However, the two chose to ignore it, and they couldn't bear to fight the fox king.
"Well, since you all want me to hibernate...... Then I won't hibernate. ”
The fox king showed a treacherous smile.
"Hibernation is the privilege of the spirit beasts of the Ancient Continent, I give up this privilege and spend the winter with you, aren't you very happy?"
"Cut!"
What the fox king got was unanimous contempt.
The matter of the fox king's hibernation, both sides know that it is impossible at all.
As one of the five great beast gods of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the Fox King is in charge of one-fifth of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, how dare he hibernate? If something happens, only these beast gods can deal with it as quickly as possible.
However, this winter, the fox king has one more thing to do.
After the fox king left, everyone's decision was to return to ask the Dao Peak. There's no training, why are you still staying in this hellish place, of course, it's going back to spend the winter comfortably.
Just as everyone was about to return, the teleportation array lit up, and a note came.
It reads: "You are not allowed to come back until October 38. ”
"We, we're going to have to spend the winter in this place?"
After learning the news, Thunderstorm's first reaction was disbelief.
"Yes. ”
Zhou Tong is sure.
"These two cabins, can you resist living?"
Yueli looked at the two cabins and couldn't help but be a little worried. The rest also have some concerns.
Here, although it has been transformed by them, it is very comfortable. But, no matter how comfortable it is, it's just two cabins. Whether they can withstand the harsh winter in the forest, they really don't know for sure.
The previous assumption of several people was that with the spirit beast sparring, their attention could be distracted, and they didn't have to think about it. With the sparring of spirit animals, this month is easy to endure, at least, there is something to do.
But now, without the sparring of spirit animals, how to survive the winter and the fear of harsh winters are magnified.
In the Three Sects, they don't have to worry about it at all. The location of the three sects was originally very particular, and coupled with the existence of the Great Array of Protectors, there was no bad weather in the sect at all. In the sect, they can spend the winter comfortably.
Now, all they have to rely on are two small cabins. In terms of defensive formations, there is only one small formation to avoid the intrusion of spirit beasts. A formation that can withstand the bitter cold, they can't arrange it now.
In addition, they are in the forest. The cold winter in the forest, and the cold winter in ordinary places, are not on the same level.
Even if the conditions are not good, this winter still has to be passed, and the seven people of Wendao Peak have to actively prepare for the winter.
On October 11, winter arrived. In the bleak forest, white snowflakes began to fall. The temperature in the forest has dropped to a certain level.
The seven of them brought back some of the utensils that had been placed outside, and if they froze, it would be uncomfortable.
October 12, yesterday's snow, today has become ice. On both wooden houses, there is already a thin layer of ice. The walls of the wooden house have become extremely cold.
So, the stove that had been intensified was lit, bringing some warmth to the seven people.
On October 20, the temperature dropped a little more. Some of the food in the reserve has deteriorated due to the cold and is no longer edible. Seven people had to brave the wind and snow in search of food.
On October 25, except for Wang Ling, everyone else had a slight fever and a cold. After drinking the medicinal soup of Yueli, the symptoms have improved.
The bitter cold of winter has already begun to cause substantial damage to seven people.
On October 30, the Yuejia sisters fell ill. Fortunately, Yueli told everyone the recipe of the medicine in advance, and some people still know how to make the decoction. As a disciple of Danzong, this matter was naturally handed over to Wang Ling.
At the same time, the rest of the group had a slight recurrence of their symptoms. Fortunately, the decoction can still be made, so it doesn't make matters worse.
On October 33, there were some insufficient medicinal materials in Yueli. Thunderstorm, Zhou Tong, and Bai Yu took the initiative to ask for help, braving the wind and snow to find medicinal materials. Wang Ling and Feng Yan took care of the Yue family sisters who had not seen improvement.
By the time the three of them returned, it was already night, and they were a little ill. Luckily, they brought enough herbs with them.
On October 37, the sisters of the Yue family were well taken care of. Among the rest of the people, except for Wang Ling, they all have some symptoms.
After drinking the decoction, several people went to rest, and tomorrow, they can go back.
This month, they have had a hard time. Two small cabins simply cannot fully withstand the harsh winter in the forest. The erosion of wind and snow, coupled with the temperature difference between day and night in the forest, made the condition of several people continue to recur, which is even worse. There are other problems caused by the harsh winter that have made the situation even more difficult for several people.
Physiological difficulties have caused them enough problems. However, there is another psychological problem, which is the non-stop teleportation array.
This teleportation array, which has been maintained on the side of Dao Peak, does not need them to pay any price to activate at all, they can go back as long as they stand on it.
Before the arrival of winter, they didn't care about this teleportation array at all. But when winter came, their situation became worse, and they had to be attracted by this teleportation array.
This teleportation array, for them, means the back road. Although I guessed that I would be punished for going back without permission, no matter how much I was punished, this was also the way back.
Survival in the wilderness with a back road and survival in the wild without a back road are two very different situations. The existence of the back road makes them think about the back road in the face of the cold and can't do their best.
Fortunately, they got past and didn't choose this back path.
"Finally got through it......"
Seeing that a few people survived January, the fox king also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the fortieth day of September, Jin Lao informed him of his plan for October and asked the fox king to help a few people when they couldn't stand it. This is the extra thing that happened to the fox king in this harsh winter.
When he saw a few people going out in the wind and snow, the fox king seemed to make a move, but he held back. They weren't at the limit, he couldn't shoot.
Thankfully, they survived the month.
"You ...... I'm starting to get anxious. "Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of the "Battle Claw Book House of the Gods and Demons of Heaven" for free for the first time.
