There are only about 100 snowmen in the small stone settlement, and about one-third of them are half-sized snowmen.

This made Er Yi a little surprised, in terms of the resources and environment of the snow field, such a small primitive gathering point, theoretically there should not be so many little snowmen born.

According to the leader of the snowmen, they go out hunting on average every "ten days", and each time they bring back 100 snow worms.

The numbers of "ten days" and "one hundred and ten" are still calculated by Eryi himself, after all, the snowmen don't even have their own names!

Don't look at the words used to "talk" to Eryi, it's quite normal, but it is summarized through the translation of [Animal Conversation] movements, expressions, the size of the cry, and the rhythm for Eryi to understand.

So don't even figure out how often you go out hunting, how many snow worms you can hunt each time, they can't even tell how many fingers they have!

According to the leader of the snowmen, there is a strong wind like a tidal wave every morning and evening on the snowfield, and a blizzard every ten days.

So after each blizzard, there will be a 10-day lull period without wind or snow, which is the day when they come out to hunt, and they must stock up on enough food at this time to survive the extreme cold of the next blizzard.

The number of snow insects hunted is calculated based on the fingers of the snowman who goes out hunting each time.

Every time they go out, each snowman must catch as many snow worms as his fingers to ensure that the entire hunting party can catch enough food for the entire settlement to survive the blizzard.

As for why they don't use "days" to calculate time, it's because there is no night in the snowfield space, and they are always in the polar day, so they don't have the concept of how long a "day" is.

But this calculation is equivalent to every snowman eating one snow worm every ten days!

Don't look at the one or two meter-long bowl mouth, the coarse snow worm is very fat, but this thing has no substance at all, except for the flesh that is an inch or two thick under the tough skin, and the stomach is full of snow that it eats.

Considering the sturdy body size of the snowmen with an average height of three meters, Er Yi said that these snowmen are so easy to raise, no wonder they don't excrete, they only eat a worm for ten days, so they have to have something to excrete?

Under such conditions, you say that the snowmen are the ones who have the strength to hum and hum to make villains?

As a result, after careful inquiry, Eryi learned that the small stone settlement turned out to be a matriarchal clan...... Yes, you heard it right! What a matriarchal clan! There are dozens of adult snowmen living on this little broken rock, all of them are female!

It's no wonder that Eryi was shocked, you said that those snowmen who can break stones on their chests, run horses on their arms, and pick up tomahawks and kill snow wolves are all female?

Well, as a primitive settlement, the matriarchal clan is not incomprehensible.

The main reason is that Eryi has a preconceived idea that these fat and strong, huge snowmen are all male.

It's really that their shape is too powerful, and the psychological gap between the two is a bit big, and I can't accept it at once.

It is said that matrilineal clan settlements such as the Little Stone Settlement are already a good place to settle on the snowy fields, and there are many wandering clans who can't even find a foothold.

And because the small stone settlement is close to the big stone settlement, the wandering snowman clan will rush to a fixed settlement like them during the windless season every year, either to exchange materials, or to seek artifacts to save their lives, and by the way, they can also do the major life events of the reproduction offspring.

Well, the so-called windless season should be considered the spring of the snowfield space, right?

Spring has arrived, everything has come to life, and it has come again...... Ahem, that's what it means.

After giving birth to the baby snowman, the female snowman will raise it to the point where it can be self-reliant, and then drive the little male snowman out of the settlement and let them fight with nature, while the little female snowman stays to continue the settlement.

Very interesting!

Er Yi also asked, why don't you leave the male snowman to guard the settlement together? But the answer is quite pragmatic, I can't support it!

On the snowy plains, only matrilineal clans will stay at fixed gathering points.

Rock-protected clusters like small stone settlements are scarce in the snowfield.

In order to leave enough safe living space for the female snowmen who can reproduce their ethnic groups, the vast majority of male snowmen can only voluntarily give up a safe place.

It has become a tradition for nomads to travel the snowfields on their sleighs, hunting enough food or gathering enough supplies before sending them to the settlement in exchange for the necessary supplies and weapons.

The rocks under their feet are not only a safe island to shelter them, but also an important mineral resource on the snowfield, that is, stones.

Weapons such as stone axes and spears used by the snowmen, as well as sleds driven by snowmen and domesticated Sheyer dogs, are also produced by these gatherings.

It can only be said that no matter what the environment, living beings can always find a way to adapt to the laws of nature and survive.

However, this so-called small stone settlement is inevitably too miserable, and the second one who plans to settle down here for a while to rest for a while is a bit miserable and can't stand it.

In total, only a dozen meters high rocks protrude from the snow surface, and the area is only more than 100 square meters, but there are more than 100 large and small snowmen.

With their size, there is an ice shark, and it is estimated that the snowmen of the entire clan can only stand on tiptoe, huddle on the rocks to avoid the attack of the ice shark.

And their shacks made of animal bones and hides, Eryi stood on the ice sailboat and looked at it from a distance, and lost the desire to go in and see, he could be regarded as knowing why the snowmen stinked so much...... A large group of snowmen who have never bathed all their lives, all huddled in the shack and covered, can it not stink?

A few psionic skeleton sharks sneaked around, one or two hundred burly psionic skeleton wolves flanked to cover, and a dozen snowmen wearing heavy armor of ice thorns and holding ice battle axes drove several crystal clear ice and snow sleds to open the way, which was really shocking on the snowfield.

So much so that when the huge ice sailboat appeared near the small stone settlement, it almost frightened the snowmen on the rocks that were not as big as the ice sailboat, and they shivered and hid in the shack and did not dare to come out.

At this time, the leader of the snowman (mother) has become a fanatical believer in the "King of Ice (pseudo)", and took the lead in rushing back to the settlement to tell the people the good news that the small stone settlement is favored by the King of Ice, and brought the large and small snowmen out to pay homage to the "god" of Eryi.
