259, Dream Wolf
Knowing that Lin Qianhe had the courage to leave, Xiao Liu's fart ran over, with a deep reluctance in his dark eyes.
"Uh-huh?" Are you really leaving?
"Huh." Well, we're done.
Lin Qian also likes Xiao Liu, although this little elephant is a little confused, but his heart is very pure.
"Whoa, whoa." The spiritual veins here have been revived, you can live in peace, there are many dangers outside, you improve your strength first, if you have a chance, we will come to see you.
Lin Qian's words were serious, although he had the intention to subdue the spirit elephant herd, but the experience of it and courage was not over, so he could only wait for later.
Xiao Liu was silent for a moment, and then stepped forward and rubbed Lin Qianhe with his nose to say goodbye.
It knew it had to say goodbye, this new home was their hard-earned blessing, and they couldn't leave easily, at least, until the temperature was normal and the outside environment recovered.
Courage stretched out his paw and patted Xiao Liu's elephant leg, it was also a little reluctant to this new friend.
Lin Qian left a copy of the information he had compiled to the elephant herd, and then he and Courage Yihu left with two baskets on their backs, and in addition to water, there were only spirit stones and spirit crystals in the baskets.
These spirit stones are only enough for a few days of cultivation consumption, so Lin Qian is not worried about trouble at all, both of them are fifth-level spirit beasts, if there is really someone who does not have long eyes to come and snatch it, it is just right, a proper takeaway.
The figures of the two tigers walked farther and farther, and the elephants stood by the river and watched quietly.
"Hmmm———"
A long cry sounded, and then the elephants raised their heads in unison and let out a long whistle, converging into a song of farewell.
They will never forget that it was the two tigers who brought them to their new home.

The scorching temperature quickly subsided as the sun fell, and the cold began to erode the heavens and the earth, and the icy temperature regained its dominance.
The huge temperature difference between day and night has gradually been accustomed to by all living beings in the long and torturous sun, whether it is humans, animals, and plants.
In the city rebuilt by the survivors, the crowds began to move, the silence gradually became noisy, and people's working time was about to begin.
The most lively time period in the capital opens at the moment when the sun goes down.
Although Heqing and Ming left, they opened the spiritual vein of the capital to the survivors of the capital, which was only an intermediate spiritual vein, but it was a life-saving move.
The formation of the spiritual vein is broken, the spiritual energy surges, the water source is reintroduced, and the vitality is revived, but the temperature will not change because of the abundance of spiritual energy.
The heat of the day, the cold of the night, remains.
High-end equipment cannot be used, and tools such as shovels have become the most used tools by humans.
Mankind seems to have returned to the era of agriculture, digging canals, transporting water, cultivating land, and turning over ruins, all of which require a lot of manpower, and ordinary people still have great value in this period.
If there is something to do and a place to maintain survival, chaos will be difficult to happen, and the survivors in the capital will officially improve the order, even if there is a continuous influx of survivors, there is no hidden danger of chaos.
This is an excellent situation for the survivors of Great Xia, of course, this is only a solution to the rules of survival, and the general environment is still dominated by nature.
Today's human beings have almost completely changed the original law of sunrise and sunset.
Ordinary people can't bear the heat of the day, and during the day, it's the Shura field, and they have to hide in the basement to continue to survive.
To live, to live and to survive, one must work.
Nocturnal and nocturnal is now the norm.
Although the nights are cold, according to the physique of most people nowadays, they can still ensure their movement under enough warm clothing, although it is inconvenient, but it will not be life-threatening, which is much milder than the temperature during the day when people can quickly sunburn.
Of course, Adepts aren't too afraid of hot temperatures, and powerful enough Adepts can even move freely in daylight for a while.
But in fact, the average survivor is still the majority, accounting for eighty percent of all survivors.
Not only humans, but also animals, have changed their habits, and daytime foraging herbivores have to hide in burrows during the day, hiding in the daylight to avoid the sun.
Many of the animals that didn't know how to dig burrows and dig burrows now have the skills to dig and hide, and there is no skill that they can't learn in order to survive.
The depleted plants on the surface of the earth also quietly grow slowly in the dark places where the sun does not shine, and some plants even give up photosynthesis in evolution, they can not withstand the heat of the sun, so they open a new way of survival.
In addition, there are plants that have evolved strong heat tolerance, and even change their growth form to adapt to the current environment in order to prevent their branches and leaves from growing delicate branches and leaves due to sunburn.
These heat-resistant plants also have a strong ability to protect themselves from the cold, and when the sun goes down and the cold comes, they shrink up like hairballs.
Plants that are resistant to heat are naturally adapted to cold.
Plants in this evolutionary direction will hide during the day to avoid sunlight, and at night they will bloom their branches and leaves, swaying in the cold winds.
The tenacity of life is unimaginable, and any hope of survival will be firmly grasped.
Maybe the difficult living environment will not make the species extinct, this is a selection of nature.

Courage pulled a small blue wildflower, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Whew!" Brother, there are flowers!
Except in its infancy, Courage has rarely become interested in wildflowers, but now, it has been a long time since it has seen the beauty of nature, and it has been a long time since it has seen such a fresh flower.
Lin Qian immediately ran over when he heard the sound, and the tiger's eyes looked at the small flower that was no more than the size of his finger, and the surprise in his eyes quickly turned into joy.
The plants that produce flowers are no more than 10 centimeters tall, and they have no branches and leaves, only straight branches, and a small soft flower on the top of the branches, which is very fragile no matter how you look at it.
But Lin Qian knew that the vitality of this plant was very strong.
Under the inspection of the spiritual sense, the characteristics of ordinary plants cannot be hidden, this plant was originally an ordinary wildflower, but after evolution, it has transformed into a hardy characteristic, its flowers not only disperse pollen, but also absorb a lot of water at night and store it.
When the sun appears, the flower packets close, the branches hang down, and hide under the withered vegetation, with enough moisture at night to sustain it through the day.
This unexpected appearance of the small flower is not the only eucalyptus, but it is the first glimmer that Lin Qianhe and Courage see.
"Huh?" Will it survive?
The tip of its claws flicked the little flower, and Courage was a little worried, and it even thought about digging up the little flower.
In the current environment, a flower is very precious, and it wants to appreciate it for a while.
"Whew." Rest assured, it will live well.
Lin Qian replied with a smile, interrupting his courage's whim.
"Whew...... "Okay......
The tiger cub was a little regretful, glanced at the little flower again, played with it twice, and had the courage to turn his head and leave, and the flower that could not be dug up, the tiger did not stay.
Lin Qian shook his head helplessly, only then did he realize that his younger brother might have some unreliable thoughts.
The brothers ran one after the other in the night, and soon left the forest, the little flower, still standing tall in the night, swaying slightly with the cold wind.

North pole.
The aurora twinkles in the night sky, and the polar night has arrived.
In the wind and snow, the night is dull, and the sound of stepping on the snow continues to sound in this silent and pure white world.
In the snow, a lonely figure of the same color as the ice and snow slowly showed its outline, and the cold light of the blue wolf's eyes appeared as the cold wind swept by.
The huge snow wolf with a snowstorm walked steadily and lightly, and wisps of white air exhaled from its mouth and nose, and its eyes were full of cold arrogance that shocked the cold.
It is the king of the snow wolves and the leader of the dream wolves.
The snow wolves followed the wolf head along the snow-capped mountains, and the heavy snow on the Arctic remained unmelted all year round, leaving a long list of footprints under the wolf's pace, and these footprints were constantly trampled by the claws of the wolves.
They.
It is a group of snow wolves, living in the snowflakes for generations, and life and death are accompanied by wind, snow and cold.
The average snow wolf is nearly 2 meters long and weighs 70 kilograms, and these snow wolves that have evolved have at least doubled in size and weight.
Their fur is snow-white, their limbs are getting more muscular, and their increased size does not affect their speed, and even allows them to move for longer periods of time.
(The scientific name of the snow wolf: is lupus laniger, belongs to the gray wolf subspecies of the genus Carnivorous Canidae, the fur is mostly white, the body is nearly 2 meters long, weighs 70 kilograms, has a huge head and a thin and delicate body.) Snow wolves forage at night, eating hares, reindeer, etc., and can travel up to 200 kilometers at a time. )
Snow wolves usually forage at night, but when winter comes and food is scarce, the snow wolves will constantly search for prey, and can travel up to 200 kilometers at a time.
Large collectives are formed only in the winter, and in the summer most of them live alone or in small groups.
In winter, small animals hibernate and hunt more large animals such as deer, and wolves form larger groups in winter because they have to work together in groups to hunt large animals.
But now, this group of snow wolves is clearly not a "larger group" that can be described.
Nearly a thousand snow wolves, like snow waves under an avalanche, surging rapidly, under the light of the aurora, continue to advance towards the glacier in the distance.
With global warming and rising temperatures, glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic are shrinking dramatically, and the environment suitable for snow wolves is also degrading, and the number of snow wolves has gradually decreased to about a few thousand.
This is a fatal blow and crisis for the snow wolf group, and they may no longer be able to roam on the top of the snow-capped mountains and enjoy all the things and scenery in the world alone.
However, the accidents and surprises of nature are always unpredictable, and their communities have miraculously grown up in the event of earthquakes, snowstorms, and now droughts.
The Arctic is getting colder and colder in the extreme weather of the day and night on large areas of land, and the glaciers that once melted are slowly recovering at a visible rate in just a few months.
And the wolf pack has already appeared spirit beasts, and new head wolves are constantly born and replaced.
Until a month ago, the snow wolf with dark blue eyes became the new leader, the name of the wolf king, and the crown wore it.
Under the summoning of the new wolf king, the wolves that should have been scattered were gathered, and the spirit beasts in the wolf pack could not resist the orders of the new king, and the ordinary snow wolves could only obey, although they were full of doubts.
"Whew-" The wolves stopped, they were about to rest.
The footsteps stopped, the silent atmosphere was also broken, and among the white wolves, many snow wolves and their companions raised questions.
The wolf howl is not obvious, but it is noisy in the wind.
The older wolves had seen the world, but they were puzzled, but they were silent, and only quietly listened to the young people venting their frustrations.
Most of the young snow wolves do not have the state of mind of avalanche Taishan in front of them, the evolution of aura brings them a stronger physique, they hunt more and more smoothly, and the days are good, all of them are concentrating on running their own small family, and they naturally do not understand the wolf king's actions.
And those wolf cubs who are still young, or just adults, only find it novel and interesting, and they are very happy one by one, and they are not tired after traveling for so long, and they are all happy on the snow, and they are constantly playing as they move forward.
The female wolf howls incessantly, trying to settle her cubs and get a good rest, they still have a long way to go.
Although they didn't know where the new wolf king's destination was, they all had a premonition from the wolf king's orders.
In addition to the unworldly wolf cubs, there is a group of weaker groups among the wolves, and at the moment they are seizing the time to rest, lying on the snow, quiet as if silent.
They are the old and sick of the group, and in order to survive, they must ensure that they have enough physical strength, and if they take a step slowly, they will end up buried in the early snowstorm.
This is cruel, but it is the default rule of all snow wolves, and the survival of wild animals has always been cruel, and there is not much warmth to speak of.
Sick wolves and remnant wolves are not uncommon in the wolf pack, and even the snow wolf clan that has undergone several catastrophes still has many "weak wolves".
Many wolves are brave enough to fight for their lives when they are healthy, but once they are injured, they are easily abandoned by the wolves.
If there is abundant food, most of them can survive if they pick up some leftovers with the group, but if they are unlucky and there is a shortage of food, not to mention being expelled, cannibalism is even more common.
And now the situation is that when there is abundant food, the wolves have not yet abandoned them, but their mobility is far inferior to that of their healthy kinds, so they can only fall far behind the team, running with the wolves with all their might, and dare not fall half a step.
The Snow Wolf King stood in front of him, his cold and arrogant eyes looking into the distance, it was a distant mountain range that could not be seen clearly in the night.
There, is its destination.
