Chapter 147: The Black Forest in the Snow
The Black Forest, the world's largest forest cover, covers almost a quarter of the landmass.
The scenery is full of ancient trees, mountains and forests, and lakes of all sizes dotted like pearls on a black background.
The Black Forest, which is close to the city of Willis, is full of secluded, wild and beautiful style, and the winter charm of snowy mountains, severe cold and rime.
The snow in Willis has stopped, but the Black Forest is still fluttering downward, unlike the snow in the city, the snow here is more flying, more wanton, and this flying and wanton brings unbearable low temperatures.
The brown bears that were the jungle giants had already hibernated, and only a few baby squirrels and grouses were still busy shuttling through the woods looking for food buried under the snow.
After all, although the wind and snow and low temperatures put them in constant danger of freezing to death, they also made the large predators temporarily have to hide in warm nests, for them, this snowstorm is a rare opportunity to find food with peace of mind.
Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun and the cover of the wind and snow, they must eat enough to withstand this unbearable winter.
But at this time, suddenly a roar spread throughout the forest, and in an instant, these little animals quickly raised their heads vigilantly to look at the place where the roar came from, after all, even the most terrible snow wolves and brown bears could not make such terrifying screams.
Under their gaze, two strange-looking vehicles continued to emit black smoke and roar, each carrying two people from the distant forest.
Seeing this, these small animals had to temporarily give up the food that was about to reach their mouths and hid one after another.
Qi Lin and his group of four naturally didn't know how many small animals their advance had disturbed, but at this moment they had already lost the freshness they had just entered the forest, and they began to feel the hardship of the journey.
The city of Willis is not far from the Black Forest, leaving in the morning and arriving in the Black Forest by noon.
As soon as they entered the Black Forest, Qi Lin and Angel showed extraordinary excitement, after all, compared to the crowded and dirty city, the Black Forest in the snow is definitely beautiful.
Wrapped in a thick down jacket and looking like a red panda, Angel was even more energetic to play around in the forest and collect raspberries frozen in the snow because of the sudden cooling.
However, as she went deeper and deeper into the Black Forest, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and it didn't take long for Angel, who was afraid of the cold, to lose interest in playing, and she even put on her holy clothes to keep warm.
Not to mention Angel, even Qi Lin lost interest in enjoying the beautiful scenery of the forest in the wind and snow, and his only thought in the cold was to hurry to Jack's village to have a cup of hot tea to warm up.
Seeing that the road in the forest was quite wide, Qi Lin, who was wealthy at the moment, directly bought two snowmobiles, and taught Alan how to operate them after a short while, and the group of four drove directly to the village.
"If you feel cold, you'll have space to rest, my brother has bought a lot of new comic books!"
Qi Lin saw Angel's little face behind him red from the cold, and couldn't help but remind him again.
Angel, who was wearing holy clothes inside and a layer of feather soft clothes on the outside, still shook her head as firmly as before.
"I'm going to be with my brother, and I have holy clothes, and I'm not particularly cold. ”
It's not that Angel is reckless, I hope that the phoenix originally contains the power of fire, not to mention the black forest in the wind and snow, even if it reaches the Antarctic and the North Pole, it is estimated that it will not be able to freeze, but the little girl's face that is not covered by the holy clothes has indeed been numb from the cold.
Seeing Angel's insistence, Qi Lin shouted directly to Jack behind Allen, "How far is it to get there?"
Jack estimated the distance and said, "It will take about an hour, and the road will not be so easy to walk in a while, so we can only walk!"
Sure enough, not long after Jack finished speaking, the trees in the Black Forest became denser and denser, and the road that could have allowed two snowmobiles to pass at the same time became more and more rugged, and even a tree grew in the middle of the road from time to time.
"Come down, it's not good, and it's easy to be dangerous to ride a motorcycle, so you can only walk next, but it's not far from the village. ”
The four people who got off the motorcycles could only start walking on foot one foot deeper and one foot shallow.
"I remember the last time I visited, the road to the village was quite easy to walk, how did it come to be like this now?" Qi Lin asked with a little curiosity.
"It can't be helped, the trees in the Black Forest grow fast, and the further you go in, the faster the trees will grow, and even if you cut down the trees, they will grow back in less than two months. ”
Then Jack explained: "When you came here before, it was when you were transporting grain, and the village had already organized people to clean up the roads in advance, but now it is winter, and it is difficult for the people in the village to even survive, so where can they have the energy to clean the roads." ”
Hearing what Jack said, Qi Lin asked with a little curiosity: "It's hard to survive?" There is a lot of output in the Black Forest, with the accumulation of summer and autumn, most of the family's food reserves should be able to survive the cold winter, how can it be difficult to survive?"
Before Jack could speak, Alan who had been watching the surrounding environment from the side said directly: "I know this, the days in the Black Forest are really good in normal days, after all, even collecting wild fruits can feed people, but in winter, the three plagues in the Black Forest can kill people." ”
"Generally, after the end of winter, many villages will be wiped out directly because of the three disasters, which is why many people in the Black Forest would rather go to the city to be poor people than to enter the city, after all, although the life in the city is hard, as long as you work hard, at least you will not die. ”
When Alan said the three plagues, Jack obviously shrunk his neck, obviously he was also afraid of the so-called three plagues from the bottom of his heart.
Listening to the conversation of a few people distracted Angel and made it less difficult to move forward, so she rarely interjected and asked curiously, "Three disasters?
Jack snapped his fingers lightly and said, "Beast plague, ice plague and demon plague." ”
"In the event of a beast disaster, as long as you are prepared, the average village can still withstand it, but the ice disaster and the demon disaster are not so easy to resist. ”
"The beast disaster dies a little, the ice disaster dies half, and the demon disaster dies all, this sentence has been circulated in the Black Forest for a long time, our village is still lucky, only I encountered two beast disasters when I was a child, if I encounter an ice disaster or a demon disaster, I'm afraid I will die." ”
