Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 205: (Retest) Wind King Division
Tall ice peaks, continuous icebergs, frozen glacial lakes, flat ice fields, vast ice seas, inside and outside the glaciers, are all white scenes, and the hot air spit out between breaths turns into ice mist in an instant.
The life and potential of living beings are endless, and even in the harshest environments, there are still species that exist, with dense lichens and mosses, struggling to grow on the rocky surfaces of snow and ice.
There are sea bean sprouts, mussels, seaweed, rotifers, and under the thick ice, in the water where the crushed ice floats, exuding vigorous vitality, and krill and small fish feed on these tiny plankton.
Cod, squid, seabirds, and then use them as food, the sea has fat seals, whales as huge as mountains, flocks of penguins on the seashore, and solitary white bears, which are the overlords of the ice fields.
In the severe cold, there are also foreign tribes, their skin is white and blue, their pupils are also grayish, they move freely on the ice field, their bodies have a strong ability to resist cold, and they rarely appear paralyzed and frozen.
They built a wall of ice bricks and poured melted snow on the walls, which was very terrifying for defense, and built round houses with ice bricks, mainly for fishing and hunting, and also for bracken and mushrooms.
After a month of travel, the temperature gradually rose as the team crossed the long coastline, and the ground was bare in the snow and ice, and gradually meadows appeared, with cold-resistant grasses and sedges, which could be used as fodder for livestock.
The pale blue forget-me-not grass, the goose-yellow fairy wood, the blood-red poppies, the hooks that have so many fruits that they can be combed off, the horseradish that can cure scurvy, and the black rice tree that produces delicious black fruits.
There are also more animals, such as the big-horned and stout reindeer, the snow-white snow wolf, the snow fox that can swim and fish, the snow hare with supple hair, the willow ptarmigan all over the mountains, and the black grouse with sharp claws.
At the edge of the glacier, there are wide forests of ice and snow, cypress trees with dense foliage, dignified and elegant spruce, gray pine with coniferous leaves, mixed with a small number of cherries, and a large number of herds of animals walking through the forest.
Closer to the mainland, there are more alien races, there are many plants and animals, there is more food, and more people can be raised, and the human tribes on the glacier are basically transformed into alien races.
Human vitality and adaptability are unlimited, living in a harsh environment, they evolve towards the environment, and after dozens or hundreds of generations of evolution, they have long lost their original appearance and are inseparable from the environment.
In addition to the common igloos, there are also a small number of wooden huts, they domesticate elk and snow wolves, and raise a lot of herds, snow wolves to travel and hunt, elk to carry and eat, and can make rudimentary sleds.
After passing through the cold glacier, you will reach the vast stone forest, which is located in the north, in the northwest corner of the continent, which is also cold, but much better than the glacier, except in the cold season, there will be no ice and snow cover.
The stone forest is a large area of the Gobi Desert, covered with large and small boulders, the wind and sand are flying all over the sky, the vegetation is relatively sparse, only low shrubs, the terrain is complex and changeable, and it is easy for people who are not familiar with it to get lost.
Three thousand miles from east to west, three thousand miles from north to south, the outer area of the stone forest, inhabited by the Kuihou Department, the stone people of the Kuihou Department, the body is huge, two zhang per capita, the skin is rough and hard, like a rock, also called the Stone Waiting Department.
The combat ability of the Kuihou Department is super high, and the strength and defense of ordinary clansmen are comparable to normal blood warriors, and the combat effectiveness of the warriors is even higher, comparable to ten human races of the same level, which can be described as the essence of the creator.
It's a pity that their size is huge, and the more their daily food needs are, not only is it difficult to improve their strength, but their fertility is also very low, and the tribe has less than six thousand people, just a late-stage ability warrior.
In fact, the number of alien races is relatively scarce, and the dangerous and harsh environment restricts the development of the population, glaciers, stone forests, volcanoes, large and small tribes combined, and there are less than 100,000 alien races living there.
The total population of the five major meteorological departments is less than 60,000, the largest marine meteorological department is only in the early 20,000s, the ice and the hot meteorological department, there are only more than 8,000 people, and the population of the soil meteorological department living in loess is slightly larger, only more than 10,000.
The Wind King Department lives in the inner perimeter of the stone forest, where the water source is sufficient, the vegetation is relatively large, the mineral resources and spiritual plants are abundant, but the environment is quite harsh, there is wind and sand all the year round, and the sand and gravel can pat the face blood.
The deserted Gobi Desert, the yellow and decayed low meadows, the shrubs flooded by wind and sand, the strange-shaped boulder forests, the most in the stone forest are stones, some are big and some are small, and some are like small peaks.
No matter how bad the environment is, there are many plants that grow, and the long fruit of the bread tree only needs to be simply baked to be edible, soft and delicious, sweet and sour, and it is a rare fine delicacy.
The swollen body of the Traveler's Tree also has a very large fruit, sweet and juicy, rich in energy, and its trunk stores a large amount of water, which can provide drinking water, hollowed out trunks, and can also be used as warehouses and shelters.
The stone that can produce flowers, the cistanche that nourishes the kidneys and helps the yang, the big rhino horn that flowers like starfish, the cactus covered with spikes, the sweet jujube with the fruit stem, the dense turquoise sand holly, and the tall and thick giant pillar.
The population of the royal department is not large, but it is only more than 50,000 people, including nearly 10,000 slaves, and there are few slaves in captivity among foreign races.
In the tortuous stone forest, the team traveled for more than half a month, and then came to the territory of the Wind King's Department, and the boulders scattered in their territory were larger in size and better in material, generally more than three zhang high.
Whether it is used to build or sharpen weapons, they are all excellent materials, mixed with a lot of ore, open-pit copper, coal, salt, diamonds, gold and silver, abound, and there are more veins underground.
On the mainland, the Wind King is also known as the Feather King Division, or the Wing King Division, and their race, called the Feather People or Wing People, is born with a pair of wings, the length is equal to the height, and the wingspan is twice the height.
Broad wings, can carry them, soar in the air, is a natural awakener, feathered people are slightly taller than ordinary people, one zhang per capita, thick bones, strong body, slender limbs, high combat effectiveness.
The team of the Maritime Waiting Department, not long after entering the depths of the stone forest, was discovered by the patrolling feather people, the whole twenty warriors, flying everywhere in the air, their vision is very good, the stone forest is empty, it is difficult not to be discovered.
"Stop, who are you!" The feathered warrior held a bronze spear, surrounded the team of two hundred people, the number was sparse, but the momentum was not weak at all, and in the unfamiliar language of the Wind King, he asked loudly.
The tribal language of the feather people is somewhat similar to that of the Maritime Waiting Department, but it is more obscure, and the Maritime Waiting Department has been on the coast for many years, and most of the contacts are with the War King Division, and the language has been greatly affected, and it is more inclined to the words of the Wood Waiting Department.
"We are from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, we have urgent matters, and we need to ask to see His Majesty the Wind King. The Exotic Warriors of the Weather Tribe, in the language of the Wind King, replied that they had gills and scales, and it was extremely difficult to impersonate them.
The feathered warrior at the head of the feathered warrior looked at the scales and gills on her body for a moment to confirm her identity before nodding and replying, "Wait a minute." With that, he waved his wings and flew into the depths of the stone forest.
The Wind King also has a trading area, which is open all year round, if it is an ordinary trading team, you only need to confirm your identity and take it directly, but since there is something important, you have to report it to the Wind King.
Soon, a larger number of feathered warriors rushed out from the depths of the stone forest, at least hundreds, and a female general at the front, exuding an obvious aura of ability, was an ability warrior of the Wind King Department.
"Are you...... Dive?" The Strange Warrior of the Wind King Tribe, observing the distribution and appearance of the scales of the Sea Waiting Tribe, recognized her identity, and then looked at the wood fire in the crowd and asked, "Who is he?"
The sea people don't like a dry environment, and the fish skin clothes can't breathe, so after arriving in the stone forest, they change to refreshing linen clothes, open their chests and open their arms, and all those present are wearing linen clothes, wearing fish skin belts, and holding tridents.
Only Mu Huo, dressed in completely different silk clothes, carrying goods in large bags and small bags, it was easy to see the difference, which naturally attracted the attention of outsiders, the sea warrior named Qian, did not answer her question.
Instead, he said: "I am Qian, the warrior of the Ministry of Waiting, he is a guest of our Ministry of Waiting, with the consent of the sea witch, it is really very important to ask to see the King of the Wind if he has something important, and he can only explain to the King of the Wind." ”
"What person! Take off the cloth on your head and check your identity!" The feathered warrior didn't let him go, raised the bronze spear in his hand, asked him to take off the cloak that covered his head, and asked coldly, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Seeing this, Qian couldn't help but be anxious, for fear of causing trouble, and even affecting the Sea Weather Department, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Mu Huo spoke, using the language of the Wind King Department, a little rusty, and said calmly: "It's about the Holy Mine." ”
"What!" the Warrior exclaimed, his face changed dramatically, his gaze became more alert, his voice raised, and his tone became colder, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"What you should do is to inform the more important higher-ups instead of asking me. Mu Huo said lightly: "You can't be responsible for such a thing." ”
The Alien Warrior's face changed, cloudy and uncertain, and he felt that what he said was good, so he coldly put down a sentence: "Wait!"
The other warriors stayed behind to guard, and it didn't take long for a new ability warrior to arrive on the field, it was a late-stage warrior, whether it was Hai Ren or Yu Ren, they saluted one after another, and said respectfully: "I've seen Prince Naru." ”
The visitor ignored it, looked at the wood fire, and said in surprise: "You are ......"
"See you again. Mu Huo took off the cloak, and the breath of the Great Witch was released, causing the faces of the surrounding people to change greatly, and seeing his face clearly, Prince Naruto also changed his face, and said in surprise: "It's you!"
"Mu Hou Ministry, Mu Huo, I have seen Prince Ming, I have something important to come here this time, I want to see His Majesty the Wind King, the matter is a holy mine. Wood Fire spoke slowly.
The prince in front of him, he can be regarded as having seen it, but he is not familiar with it, he has followed the Wind King and gone to the Muhou Department, he has also seen it a few times, and the surrounding warriors noticed where he belonged, and the fierce light was revealed: "Terran?"
"What are you doing?" Prince Naruto behaved a little better, and his eyes were quite hostile, and he was very wary of his appearance.
"Didn't I say it!, I came to the Wind King's Department to ask to see the Wind King, and brought a more advanced holy ore refining method. Muhuo replied calmly.
"There are also the Li King Department and the War King Department?" Prince Ming asked.
"No, it's only the Wind King. Wood Fire replied.
Prince Naruto was first shocked, and then, his eyes showed greed: "Then you can hand it over now!"
"I'm going to see the Wind King first!"
The cold gaze stared at him for a long time, but seeing his face, there was no wavering in the slightest, Prince Ming was finally defeated, and hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "Come with me!"
