Chapter 476: The Road

Since they knew the consequences of Shao Xuan's training there, the soldiers on patrol were interested in waiting there after clearing the snow every day.

The branch road that was opened was still there, and they directly retreated the temporary resting point and made it into an evasion point.

Originally, the patrol people wanted to make an open-air resting spot according to the original method, but then they would also be exposed to the cold and the cold wind.

One day, Shao Xuan suddenly remembered a method, teaching them to use simple abrasives and water to make large ice bricks, the water in the river has been frozen thick, you can't go there to knock the ice, you can only use the snow to melt, and then pour it into the abrasive, put it outside to freeze for a while, and without a few breaths, it will soon form ice bricks, which is very efficient.

Such ice bricks were quickly accepted by the tribesmen, and even some warriors who were not on duty came out to help make them.

Today, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, there are igloos in the shape of an "I". The foundation of the igloo is also made of ice, which is built high above the snow, and then a house is built on top of it.

In addition to patrolling, the soldiers on patrol will run to the igloo to rest and drink some hot water to warm up when clearing the snow, and from here they can see the situation in the distance. People in the tribe who have been locked up at home will also run over and walk around twice because of their novelty and curiosity.

Shao Xuan was also worried that these people would suffer from snow blindness because they were exposed to the snow for a long time, and reminded them, but so far, no one has experienced snow blindness.

"Look, the Elder is pushing snow again!" said the man lying on the igloo window, looking outside.

"Where's it? Get out of the way!"

The three small windows were rushed to see.

These igloos were built close to the first road introduced by Shao Xuan, and Shao Xuan would walk along a new road every day.

Looking from the heights, you can see a man wrapped in flames walking slowly on the white snow. And in front of him. It looks like a giant white worm is moving down the mountain.

Aside from the shock at the first sight, the soldiers on patrol now regard it as a daily pastime. The tribe worships the strong, not to mention what kind of cold they have to endure when walking in the snow in a violent snowstorm, but they have also tried to push the snow. It's a pity that the obviously inconspicuous snow is extremely strong and heavy when piled up, and they can't push it after only piling it up for a while, and they still feel that they have a lot of strength on weekdays.

Duokang walked over from outside, patted the snow off his body, and asked, "How is the sentinel down the mountain doing?"

"Tao Zheng and they took over today and continued to do it, saying that they wanted to do it higher, so that they could see the distance when they stood on it. You don't have to go out and get cold. One of the fighters said.

"It's good to be a sentinel with ice bricks, but don't be lazy, I'm going to check it!" Dokang scolded.

"Yes, promise not to be lazy!"

"Hmm. Duo Kang responded, pushed the person by the window to the side, and looked outside, "I'll see how Shao Xuan pushed the snow." ”

The soldier standing next to him pouted, wasn't it just to grab the window?

Yamashita. On the other side of the river, high outposts were made. Large blocks of ice are constantly being sent over there.

After making a few sentinels, the soldiers were idle, and tried to connect these sentinels and make passages with ice bricks, so that they didn't have to brave the wind and snow when they walked around, and. It looks like a wall has been built.

Looking at the passage that was built to rival the city wall, the patrolling soldiers became more motivated. Such a snowy day is not without fun at all, and it is another experience for those who are idle.

Beasts in the mountains and forests are rarely seen now. It's impossible to go out hunting in this weather, but fortunately, everyone has more inventory, so they won't starve, and if they save some food, they can survive, as long as such a snowy day doesn't last forever.

And many people in the tribe did not know that there was a team of fifty people, braving the wind and snow, leaving the mountains and forests. These people were sent by the chiefs and witches, and although they might miss the most important ritual of the year of the tribe, the witches and chiefs granted them absence, because, in the eyes of the witches and chiefs, this matter was more important than the sacrificial rites, and the future of the tribe was concerned.

The leader of the team is named Xiang Chen, slightly younger than Duokang, and is also a high-level totem warrior, but he has not been in the tribe for most of the past year.

Xiang Chen was the first group of people to follow Shao Xuan to the beach, and he had already walked the road from the tribe to the beach twice, and this was the third time.

This time, Xiang Chen was ordered to take people to the beach to see the situation over there. According to other people's ideas, what are you going out on such a cold day?

But the witch and the leader want such a cold day!

Even, the witch and the leader hoped that if it was really as they thought, the longer this cold weather lasted, the better.

The path taken by Xiang Chen was different from the path taken by Shao Xuan when he first found the tribe. When Shao Xuan first went to the tribe from the seaside, he walked almost in a straight line, but it was more difficult to go there, and the tribesmen took another route when they went to the beach later.

They walked out of the mountains and forests with difficulty, and when they passed through Anseong, they found that Amba City, which used to be not too deserted even in winter, was now empty outside the city.

The towers on the city walls were moved around, but not elsewhere. They had been thinking of going to the city of Antigua and Barbuda to find a place to rest and change some food, but now it seems that this plan has not been successful. The gates were closed, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

"Keep walking. Xiang Chen greeted the others.

Compared with the mountains and forests, there is less snow here, perhaps in the eyes of these people in Antigua City, it is already a heavy snow that has not been encountered in a thousand years, and it is difficult to walk, which is extremely troublesome. But Xiang Chen and the others who came out of the mountains and forests didn't think so.

The snow here is only waist-deep.

Every time I meet someone on the road and hear their conversation "This snow is waist-deep, how should I live", Xiang Chen and a few people can't wait to say: "It's only waist-deep, I'm surprised like this, if you go to the mountains and forests, will you be so scared that your eyes fall out?!"

I have also encountered robberies on the way, but there are very few, this kind of weather, professional robbers are reluctant to come out, out are some amateurs, people who were forced out by the wind and snow, because of hunger and cold, their eyes became fierce, with an open attitude. It's a pity that Xiang Chen and they are not kind-hearted, they are really so easy to be soft-hearted, and it is impossible for them to live until now. If these robbers just begged and said soft words, maybe Xiang Chen and them could divide a little bit of food, but standing in front of them with a knife, don't blame them for being ruthless.

Bright blood splattered on the snow, and soon froze with the snow. Those who fall there, the lucky ones will be covered by the snow, and the unfortunate ones will become the target of other hungry and cold people.

Walking along the road, Xiang Chen has seen too much.

The further you go, the thinner the snow layer becomes.

Xiang Chen's heart sank. Although he didn't want to see such a snow disaster, according to Wu He's intentions, it might be best for such a cold day to continue, and most importantly, did the sea freeze?

Wu said that if the sea freezes, continue to walk forward and see, if it is a large area of ice, this is an opportunity, they can return to the place where they have left for thousands of years, and gather with another group, perhaps, the "hidden disease" of the Yanjiao people also has a chance to be cured. Who wouldn't want to live more than twice as long? Wouldn't hunt for another twenty or thirty years before they have to consider quitting the hunting party and watching other tribes hunt with great courage in the mountains and forests than their own.

It's miserable to think about.

Don't freeze, don't freeze!

Leaving the city of Antigua and Barbuda, I passed through other smaller cities, which were the same as the city of Antigua and Barbuda, the gates of which were closed, revealing a solemn and heavy meaning, just like the hearts of the people in the city. And there, the snow is just up to the thighs.

Continuing to move forward, Xiang Chen's bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

When he finally stepped onto the semi-desert area, Xiang Chen gasped and looked into the distance. Here, the snow is only up to their knees.

Continue to step into this once arid region.

There are camel beasts on the ground looking for ice, their hair has grown, and they huddle together in groups to keep warm, and eat snow to replenish their water.

Seeing Xiang Chen's party, the camel beasts spread their hooves and turned their heads and ran away.

Xiang Chen didn't chase it, he still had food on him, and he was not in the mood to chase and hunt, so his steps were more urgent, and he went straight to the sea.

The tall column-shaped cactus stood there like icicles, like thorns, stabbing the hearts of Xiang Chen and his party with blood dripping from their hearts.

Sea water, no freezing!

Only near the shore is partially frozen, but that ice, compared to the ice in the artificial river in front of the tribe, is simply not enough to see, can a person walk on it?!

Not to mention, far from the shore, the sea is still moving, and the wind whips up the waves and crashes against the frozen ice.

The blue water, the snow-covered sand and gravel ground, and the impact of the two colors may say to some people that this is a rare beauty, however, Xiang Chen and the others are extremely disappointed.

As if losing all his strength, the exhaustion along the way became intense, and he knelt on the gravel ground covered with a thin layer of snow, and punched the ground into a pit.

A road, broken.

They don't even know if they will have the hope of crossing this sea in their lifetime.

How long is a person's life? For someone who does almost the same thing every day, it seems to pass in a blink of an eye. Xiang Chen seemed to see his aging self sitting at the door of the house, chopping wood and rubbing straw ropes. And the people of the next tribe who are the same age as themselves drag their prey to come and go happily every day.

I can't bear to think about it anymore.

With a sigh, with a strong disappointment, Xiang Chen and his party returned to the tribe, not to mention them, Wu would probably cry and faint by the fire after he knew.

When will it take to return to the old place? Where is the road?

None of them know. (To be continued......)
