Chapter 443: Snow
The high sacrifice ended with the revelry of the crowd.
After this joint sacrifice, there were more than 900 new warriors in Xicheng, and none of the reserve warriors died due to the failure of the awakening, which is very rare.
One of the most important good news is that the White Turtle Witch has become a great witch, which makes Xicheng have two great witches in charge at once, and his strength has increased greatly.
After the festival, the weather became colder and colder.
Winter has officially arrived.
Heavy snowfall after snow made Xicheng flooded with white snow.
Rows of stone roofs, unfinished city walls, gray-black stone brick floors, green meadows...... They are covered with a thick and soft snow blanket, which looks beautiful and quiet.
The surface of the lake was covered with a thick ice sheet, and the fish and algae sank to the warmer bottom of the lake, and their movements became much slower.
The outside world has also become a matter of silver.
It's not the coldest month of winter, so there are still a lot of animals in the forest, such as squirrels, wild foxes, snow hares, and bighorn deer...... and so on, all in the forest to shave snow foraging.
Therefore, the hunting team often wrapped in thick animal skin clothes, rode war beasts, and hunted together in the cold forest on days when the snow was not heavy.
Of course, the number of prey is certainly not comparable to what it used to be.
However, cold weather also has the benefit of cold weather.
At least you don't have to worry about preserving your food anymore, bury your uneaten prey in the thick snow, and dig it out after a few days if you want to eat it, and you don't have to struggle to make jerky anymore.
......
A month later.
In the wind and snow.
A place more than ten miles away from Xicheng.
Dressed in ice blue and silk, his face was as pale as snow, and he walked a few steps weakly in the snow, bowing his head and holding the trunk of a giant tree covered with snow and frost.
A ten-centimeter-long bloody wound broke in her abdomen, and bright red blood flowed out of the terrible wound like a spring, and soon stained the snow under her feet.
But she didn't show any pain on her face, and she didn't even cover the wound, just frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.
"I'm going to have to rest for a while......
She lowered her long eyelashes and pulled a thin, blood-stained brown twig from her bosom.
This branch looks ordinary, but it keeps making a crisp humming sound in the wind and snow, like a wind chime, which is quite pleasant to listen to and very magical.
This fog injury is for it.
During this time, she and the team of the Shark Clan have been out looking for Source Stones.
On the way, she happened to hear that there was a huge wind tree growing on the high mountain in the distance, this tree was very magical, whenever the wind blew through the treetops of this huge tree, its branches would make an extremely pleasant sound, like a spring tinkling, silver sparrow spreading its throat, and everyone who was lucky enough to hear it was intoxicated and lost their minds.
She became interested in the Wind Tree, so she immediately left the merman team and her mount, and went to find the Wind Tree very casually.
The sound of the Wind Tree will make the weak insects instinctively afraid, but it will attract the powerful insects, and the Wind Sound Tree found by the fog was unfortunately occupied by a nest of fierce giant sand mantis.
Cangwu and they had a fierce fight.
Although the merman race is a top inhuman race, it is not the top species in this wild land, and the home field of the merman race is the deep sea, and the strength will be greatly reduced as soon as it lands.
This giant sand beetle has a fierce temperament, and each of them is no less powerful than the top king beasts, and the most terrible thing is that they have heard too much of the sound of the wind tree, and they are immune to the singing of the merman.
So Cangwu hung up the lottery this time, but in the end, she still wiped out the group of giant sand mites and successfully broke off a branch of the wind sound.
But at this moment, she held the hard-won wind sound branch, listened to its chirp, but only felt disappointed: "...... You don't have a flute that sounds pleasant. β
After that, she threw the wind branch into the snow without hesitation.
Her eyes were black because of the blood loss.
After a pause, she jumped lightly onto the big tree beside her, brushed the snow off the branches, and lay down on her back.
In fact, she could have called the merman in a way unique to the merman, but she didn't do it, she just let herself sink into the darkness and pass out completely.
Meanwhile.
Ye Xi and the Aphid Man were riding on a dozen brown bears, speeding through the snowy forest.
These brown bears are huge, with thick fur and white air from their noses, and they run fast in the thick snow, not afraid of the cold at all.
In a pine forest, the team stopped.
The aphid man jumped off the bear's back, stepped on the snow and walked under the pine tree, carefully took out the white jade aphids from his arms, and handed them to the trunk.
The white jade aphids quickly climbed up the branches along the trunk of the tree, and their tiny feet picked up the pine needles, clicked and gnawed, looking extremely satisfied, and the small eyes of the black beans narrowed.
Ebony was very excited to see this: "Babies love to eat!"
An iron-blooded tough guy face, extremely unkindly revealing motherly softness and comfort.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Hey......
The dozen or so aphids around him all grinned and smirked, looking satisfied.
There are only two kinds of trees in Xicheng, the mulberry tree and the insect willow, and the mulberry tree is the ration of Aori and cannot be moved.
Not to mention the insect willow, the Aphid people never bring aphids close, basically see them all around, every time they go out of the city, they are cautious, out of the specially left opening, for fear that the insect willow branch will sweep away their baby aphids.
And the aphids are reluctant to let the aphids eat the stale leaves, so they always take them out to forage even on snowy days.
"Click, click!"
The white jade aphids eat happily.
However, since the end of the Great Migration, the squeamishness of these aphids has come up again, and after eating the most tender pine needles on the pine trees, they have stopped eating them, and quickly crawled back to the aphids.
The aphid slaves were not angry at all when they saw such a "made" aphid, with a doting look on their faces, happily taking them, haggling the white mist, rubbing their frozen red hands, and trekking in the snow on foot to find more tender pine needles.
"Whewββ!"
The brown bear stupid melon grabbed the hem of Ye Xi's clothes, shook his big buttocks, and pulled him in the direction of the bee forest.
Ye Xi looked at it and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to eat honey?" Now it's too cold to cut honey." β
In winter, bees huddle in the hive, huddle together to keep each other warm, and rely on the warmth of the hive to survive the winter. If the hive is destroyed at this time, the bees that have nowhere to spend the winter will freeze to death, and there will be less honey the following year.
This stupid melon didn't know if he understood it or not, but he still insisted on tugging at the corner of Ye Xi's clothes, and there was a coquettish sound in his throat, and the corners of his mouth were flooded with saliva.
"This stupid ......"
Ye Xi looked at his sleeves wet with saliva, his face was full of black lines, and recited the mantra that the owner of the stupid melon, the turgeons, often said.
Honey is certainly impossible.
Ye Xi decided to hunt some other prey to satisfy this big stupid melon.
He took off the longbow on his back, took out a huge bone arrow weighing a pound from the quiver, bent the bow and took aim at a goshawk in the sky with its wings hovering.
The bowstring is gradually drawn into the shape of a full moon, the thumb pulls the string, and the index finger gently lifts the tail of the arrow.
Sou!
The arrow whizzed forward, like a black light towards the goshawk.
However, this powerful arrow missed.
"It's been a long time since I shot an arrow......"
Ye Xi shook his head, took another arrow from the quiver, and wound the arrow.
The second bone arrow broke through the air and roared towards the goshawk, which directly pierced the goshawk's chest.
However, this goshawk has a strong vitality, and it flew crookedly for a while before it fell from the air with a weak chirp.
The place where the goshawk fell was some distance from here, and Ye Xi ran to the deep forest with a stupid melon and a few brown bears to get prey.
The stupid melon was very happy to have something to eat, and together with a few brown bears, he grabbed the huge goshawk corpse, shaking his head and pulling around.
The snow was sprinkled with bright red blood and fragments of feathers.
"Roar!"
The stupid melon gnawed off the goshawk's claws, and an excited and deafening bear roar rolled through his throat.
Ye Xi plucked out his ears and was about to say something, when there was a crisp sound of a tree branch breaking not far away, followed by the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground.
