Qu Jianlei roughly explained the formation of geothermal heat, but the flower scorpion focused on something else.

"I understand...... But where did you get this knowledge? ”

Qu Jianlei was also a little strange when he heard this, he knew that there was an information monopoly in the wasteland, but ...... Does this information need to be blocked?

"Isn't it that hard to know this?"

"It's hard!" Without hesitation, the flower scorpion said, "I've never heard anyone mention it. ”

Then she nodded thoughtfully, "I finally understand why the interior of the settlement is more heated in winter." ”

Qu Jianlei was a little curious, "The heating of the Hongwu settlement uses geothermal heat?" ”

"It's not just Hong Wu," the flower scorpion replied without hesitation, "most of the settlements are ...... No wonder the site was chosen cautiously. ”

Qu Jianlei also reacted, "Since this is the case, it makes sense not to leak the news." ”

The flower scorpion glanced at him, "Then how do you know?" ”

When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but think of a middle-aged scavenger - the one who knew about genetic modification agents because of his family tradition.

It is estimated that he also died at the hands of the Sai family, right? He sighed lightly, "Who can not have a little money?" ”

Hua Scorpion didn't speak again, but thought in his heart: How can the knowledge of geothermal heat be mastered by ordinary families?

In any case, it is precisely because of this mystery that this cave will be occupied by a group of black-backed golden apes.

For Qu Jianlei and Hua Scorpion, this adventure was too worthwhile.

Geothermal energy saves a lot of energy, not to mention ...... There are also more than a dozen golden apes with meat to eat.

However, the issue of drinking water needs to be taken seriously.

Qu Jianlei braved the cold to go out and look around, and found a hibernating spotted hedgehog.

The brindled hedgehog is not a mutant beast, and is very picky about drinking water, and after drinking the water melted by the ice cubes, there is no discomfort.

But Qu Jianlei said that the meat of the brindled hedgehog ...... The taste is really bad, not only the earthy smell is big, but also very sour.

The duo then set out to renovate the cave to make it more livable.

Qu Jianlei has the experience of renovation in the past year, although there is no garbage heap, and the materials are not handy, but the design is also decent.

But most of the time, he is only responsible for moving his mouth, and it is the flower scorpion that does it.

Hua Scorpion was a little reluctant at first, feeling that he didn't need others to guide him.

But after some transformation, she was also completely convinced...... Is there anything this guy wouldn't?

Of course, what she was most interested in was the cultivation of the black sky,

Baduanjin and Wufowl played well, she learned it after watching it a few times, and asked the other party if she could learn the same.

Qu Jianlei has one more helper, and he still brings his own dry food, so he doesn't mind her studying, and he also teaches some essentials.

The flower scorpion gets started very quickly, much faster than Xiaojing, which shows that talent does exist objectively, and it is not okay to accept it.

And after practicing for a few days, she really felt the benefits, and she was sweating all over her body after doing it several times in a row.

However, Tai Chi and Tai Chi Thirteen Knives made her a little blind, which is really not something that can be understood by her eyes.

She wanted Heitian to teach the main points, but the other party directly said that she would talk about it after a while...... Xiao Jing hasn't learned yet.

When the flower scorpion heard this, he was also a little speechless, it was a little hairy child who couldn't even drive a car, you value it.

But she wouldn't compare herself to a dead man, and then she asked the last question, "What do you say about sitting cross-legged?" ”

"Don't think about this for the time being," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, without giving any explanation.

But even if he doesn't say it, the flower scorpion can see that this set of things is the most energy-consuming.

As for the other party not to say it, she can really understand - my value has not yet been reflected, and it is of course normal for people to have scruples.

The days passed day by day in a calm mood.

The black-backed golden apes are relatively large, at least one size larger than humans, and mature golden apes can weigh up to 400 kilograms.

Of course, this is the gross weight, skinned and bones removed from the internal organs, not even two hundred kilograms.

But even so, the seventeen large and small golden apes combined also extracted about two and a half tons of meat.

In the process of cultivation, Qu Jianlei has quite a good amount of food, but twelve or thirteen kilograms of meat a day is enough.

Coupled with a "little" staple food, he basically does not need to take nutrients.

There is also a black-backed golden ape's stored food for the winter, roughly some berries and dried fruits, and some air-dried animal meat.

Qu Jianlei was indifferent to the reserve food of the golden ape, and regardless of hygiene, the golden ape was a mutant beast.

The food they can consume may not be affordable to ordinary humans.

Anyway, Qu Jianlei didn't have any pressure, he didn't have a lot of food to prepare, and there was also a lot of meat floss.

The flower scorpion was taken aback by the amount of food he had at first, but after watching it for a long time, he got used to it.

Even because of her practice of Baduan Jin and Wufowl Opera, her food has increased a lot.

The weather was getting cold day by day, and the two of them lived in the cave, not feeling the hardships of winter at all.

However, every day or two, the flower scorpion will still go out to take a look at the surrounding situation, so as not to be caught off guard by the abnormal situation.

This is also how she is showing her worth, and it is a good habit for adventurers to be vigilant at all times.

It's just that every time she goes out, she will be so cold that she will run back with a jump, and it is useless to wear more.

Qu Jianlei estimated that the lowest temperature here may be more than minus 60 degrees.

On this day, when the flower scorpion returned, it stamped its feet to warm up and made an important discovery.

Two kilometers away in the snow, she found huge footprints!

Qu Jianlei was also startled when he heard it, went out to take a look, and was stunned to find: This guy weighs at least more than two tons, right?

He wasn't particularly sure what it was, but the tracks in the snow showed that it wasn't a carnivore.

Carnivores usually have sharp claws, whereas the footprints of this animal are flat.

It's just that this hoof is really not ordinarily big, and it can catch up with the basin.

The flower scorpion was a little frightened, "This animal is at least a B-level mutant beast, right?" ”

The thought of such a powerful creature living in the left vicinity is really not pleasant.

"Perhaps...... Do you want to drink water? Qu Jianlei thinks that creatures that can move in winter may not be limited by their range.

Seeing that the sky was gloomy and looked like it was going to snow, the two didn't say much and hurried back to the cave.

Early in the morning of the third day, it really snowed, and it fell heavily for three days.

However, it was because of this snow that the mysterious animal finally appeared.

Qu Jianlei came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the behemoth in front of him, which was more than three meters high and looked like seven or eight tons.

He couldn't help but speak in amazement, "Mammoth? ”

"What's it called?" Hua Scorpion immediately took out a small notebook, a lot of remote knowledge, must be memorized.

"I naturally came up with it in my head," Qu Jianlei replied perfunctorily.

He muttered in his heart, mammoth's words could explain why this guy was not afraid of the cold.

But the next moment, he said, "What are you doing in our cave?" ”

The entrance of the cave is actually not large, less than three meters high and no more than four meters wide.

Like those black-backed golden apes entering and exiting the cave, they have to bend slightly to get in.

Supposedly, this mammoth can't get into the hole, but this guy has his own way.

As soon as its two front legs were bent, it was about to move into the hole on its knees, depending on its proficiency, and it was obviously not the first day to do such a thing.

However, it is very sad that after Qu Jianlei and the others came, they made changes to the entrance of the cave.

Not to mention that the ground was raised, and even the sides were built with stone walls.

The high ground and stone walls are not resistant to collisions, and the mountain wind here is bitter, and the wind blows even the slightest bit stronger.

But this is really difficult for the two, the worst thing in the winter is the low temperature, and they also found a water source.

The reinforced ground and ice walls are more than three meters thick, thanks to the extremely cold weather.

With such a thick ice gun, not to mention that the mammoth has the appearance of seven or eight tons, it is impossible to break through seventeen or eighteen tons.

Even if it had the driving force of the Blue Star Tank, the flesh and skin would have to withstand it.

The mammoth knelt a few times, and found that he could not get into the hole, and for a moment he was furious, and his long nose flung out, and slammed into the ice wall.

Qu Jianlei had already reacted, "This guy seems to know that there is a black-backed golden ape in the cave!" ”

If you think about it, you can know that although the black-backed golden ape has rough skin and thick flesh, it is a younger brother compared to a mammoth.

To put it bluntly, the weight of the black-backed golden ape of four or five hundred kilograms is less than one-tenth of that of the other party.

So it's really not surprising that the black-backed golden ape is on the mammoth's recipe.

What is certain, however, is that in its recipes, the black-backed golden ape is definitely very difficult to entangle.

If there are three points to help, it shouldn't want to choose this dish, the combat power of the golden ape group is definitely one plus one is greater than two.

There are seventeen black-backed golden apes in the cave.

There is such a huge group, not to mention the combat effectiveness, it is definitely not anyone's slaughterhouse, you can just take one out to eat.

This mammoth is big, but it is very thin, probably because it is too cold, so he will come to the cave to eat.

Of course, these are Qu Jianlei's guesses, and it is doubtful whether this is the case.

Anyway, he can be sure of one thing, although mammoths have no claws, they are really omnivores.

The flower scorpion hesitated for a moment and asked out loud, "Black sky...... Panda, what level is this mammoth? ”

"I don't know," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, feeling very innocent, "I don't know if this is a mutant beast." ”

It is said that if they dare to deal with mutant beasts that live in groups, mammoths should also be mutant beasts, and they are more advanced ones.

But he really didn't know, among the beast information he collected, there was really no such number.

Even the word "mammoth" comes from his memories of Blue Star.

When the flower scorpion heard this, he was also a little lost, "I don't know if the meat can be eaten, can we fight it?" ”

Qu Jianlei looked at her speechlessly, "Can this not be beaten?" ”
