Chapter Seventy-Two: Stability

On this day, Bai Ke found a small Xiaoice field in the canyon. The ice field is not large, and because it is located in the interior of the snow-capped mountains, it is already extremely cold, and even the flora and fauna are very scarce. But after Bai Ke looked at it carefully for a while, he felt that this was a good place to set up camp, and he wanted to rest here for a while.

Bai Ke put down his backpack, which was about to fall apart, and began to search the snow. It turns out that this is indeed a good place, with permafrost underground, not hanging ice shelves, and no natural traps such as ice caves and crevasses, which is very suitable for camp. He dug himself a large snow nest at the foot of the mountain on the edge of the ice sheet, and then tried to build an igloo modeled after the Arctic people of his homeland. But he clearly overestimated his craft, and the igloo looked extremely ugly. It's just that because the climate here is too cold, the igloo has managed to freeze and not collapse, so that he finally has a place to live.

It's a pity that the animal and plant resources here are too scarce, and the food collected at ordinary times is not enough for Bai Ke to eat, and he now relies on his extraordinary physique and strong vitality to resist, and his weight has dropped by nearly one-tenth in just ten days, and his originally strong body now looks a little lean. But Bai Ke didn't care, he could clearly feel that after this period of asceticism on the snowy mountain, his spiritual will had been greatly improved. Hardships and hardships are successful, and this is honest and does not deceive me.

Bai Ke's previous years of martial arts practice had tempered his will, and now even in an empty, lonely, cold and lonely place like the Ten Thousand Years Snow Mountain, he was able to persevere, and at the same time continue to cultivate and improve himself.

One day more than a month later, after Bai Ke completed the quantitative exercises, he began to hunt on the snowy mountains. The food he had brought with him had already been exhausted after so long, and the cold weather on the snowy mountains, coupled with the heavy amount of training he had, caused him to be always hungry.

Bai Ke saw from a distance that several Bantu people were patrolling around, as if they were looking for something. He quickly fell on top of the snow and watched them secretly. These Bantu people were obviously a little absent-minded, and they didn't notice Bai Ke's existence, so they hurriedly patrolled around and left. Bai Ke was a little surprised, could it be that the Bantu people were still looking for themselves? It's been almost two months and it hasn't stopped, and these Bantu people really hold grudges!

After the Bantu people left, Bai Ke walked around the snow and finally knocked down a snow hare with a snowball and brought it back for today's food. It's a pity that there is a lack of plants here, and occasionally some of them are also eaten as vegetables by Bai Ke, so Bai Ke can't make a fire, and the snow rabbits he catches can only eat them raw.

Bai Ke carried the snow rabbit back to his igloo, he was still in a good mood, you must know that food is not obtained here every day. On one occasion he had eaten only a little snow moss and nothing else for four days in a row, and he was so hungry that he almost wanted to eat his own flesh. In desperation, he had to swallow a large amount of ice and snow to fill himself with water, but he suffered a serious loss of body temperature because of this, and his body was as cold as a stone outside the igloo, and even he thought he was going to be cold. But at the time of his death, the warm current formed by the life force in his body actually began to slowly swim throughout his body, bringing him a trace of warmth, and he was able to survive in the end.

After this incident, Bai Ke had to change his time plan, spend more time looking for food, and appropriately reduce the amount of training, and at the same time, he also tried all kinds of ways to keep himself warm.

The previous warm current of life gave Bai Ke inspiration, and he has been exercising to resist the cold recently. It is said that it is exercise, but in fact, it is to consciously control your skeletal muscles to contract and tremble constantly, so as to release a large amount of heat to maintain your body temperature. So even if Bai Ke is now in rags, he doesn't have frostbite on this ice and snow land. Gradually, he seemed to have the illusion that he could control the heat generated by the violent tremors in his body, and let this warm current flow through his body with his will, as if he were strength.

Bai Ke tried to control this warm current to form a circulation in his body like his own cultivation of dark energy, but unfortunately he failed in the end, this warm current was more difficult to control than his strength. But he also realized that this should be the so-called life force, or a variant of life force.

"Huh? In this way, if you raise your body temperature through exercise, is it actually consuming your life force? I don't know if this vitality can be replenished after it is consumed, and it won't cause a potential deficit, right? As a dragon king bloodline, my vitality should be very strong, so I should be able to make up for the deficit in my body, right? Bai Ke muttered to himself.

Bai Ke was very hungry now, and with a stroke of his fingernails, he disemboweled. After only a short time, the snow rabbit was completely frozen, and not a trace of blood came out. Bai Ke threw the rabbit skin down and threw it into a snow cave, and he ate all the rest of the rabbit meat, including the internal organs and stomach. It sounds disgusting, but it's necessary to survive in the snowy mountains.

Bai Ke ate the snow rabbit, and grabbed two handfuls of white snow and stuffed it into his mouth, even if he had drunk water. He stood in the igloo, his hands pressed against his stomach, his palms shaking and massaged. At the same time, as he breathed, his stomach gradually made a gurgling sound, which was the squirming of his stomach. After only ten minutes, Bai Ke felt that the snow rabbit was almost digested by himself, which was really terrifying. In fact, Bai Ke is now very capable of digesting and absorbing food, and he rarely has bowel movements. Even if there were, it would only happen once in several days, because most of the material nutrients in the food were absorbed by him, and only a very small amount of residue was left to be excreted, which was undoubtedly a higher level of digestion.

After digesting it, Bai Ke walked outside the igloo again, and he was about to start the next stage of cultivation today.

Bai Ke was not always engaged in wilderness survival in the Snow Mountain, in fact, he spent most of the day cultivating. On this cold and biting ice field, he endured the maddening loneliness and kept punching and kicking, his body shaking and his strength flowing endlessly. He had to cultivate for more than fourteen hours a day, so it could be said that in addition to hunting and sleeping, the rest of the time was almost entirely spent on cultivation.

I saw him standing in the wind and snow, first shaking his legs, then shaking his hips, then shaking his waist, then shaking his chest, and finally shaking his hands, shaking all the way. It seemed a little nervous, but as he shivered, his body began to warm up. Although beads of sweat have not yet appeared on his body, all the falling snow melts quickly as soon as it touches his body. This is his own unique way to awaken the warm current of life in his body, accelerate the activation of his body, and make himself more flexible and agile.

The warm current circulated around his body, even extending to his fingers and toes, allowing warmth to the parts of the body that were most prone to frostbite. Only in this way could Bai Ke not suffer from frostbite in such a cold environment as the Ten Thousand Year Snow Mountain, ensuring his long-term cultivation needs.

Then everything was ready, and Bai Ke began to fight slow punches in the wind and snow. said it was a slow fist, but in fact he was gathering strength. Every once in a while, his punch and kick would bring a burst of wind and thunder, which was a thunderclap that vibrated at his punches and feet, and shook the air. If you can use this technique when attacking enemies, it is Zareth's special skill - inch fist. It's a pity that Bai Ke is now facing the same predicament as Aisha back then, he can only do this in slow boxing, once he makes a quick attack, it will cause his strength to collapse and he can't be restrained.

Bai Ke practiced for several hours before stopping, even with his strong physique, he was already sweating profusely at this time, and the skin and muscles on his body were red and hot. As soon as you get closer, it makes people feel a burst of warmth, which should be the blood and blood in the legend of Guoshu.

I saw Bai Ke lie directly on the ground, and he began to roll. However, the sharp-eyed person will notice that his body is not in contact with the snow in a large area, and each time he touches the area, a force bulges. This force tumor was immediately retracted, constantly slapping the ground, making Bai Ke seem to be rolling on a skateboard, and actually rolled fast on the snow. It's a lot faster than walking, although the movement looks a little indecent. Bai Ke called this "ambush", and it can move quickly in environments such as snow swamps, especially when the ground is somewhat undulating. Walking on the ground, encountering large obstacles or ice crevices, Bai Ke will also get on all fours to imitate spiders treading water, and quickly pass through obstacles.

In addition, ambush is also a means of refining the body. Although the snow and ice field ground is relatively soft, it is not without hard places, such as stones and ice cubes. Bai Ke rolls forward, and his body constantly contacts and collides with such hard objects, which can play a role in boiling the body. "Walking in the Bush" is like a sandy slope covered with stones for an iron-shirted cultivator, and the principle of the two is the same.

Ambush movement is an important means for Bai Ke to catch prey in places where animals and plants are scarce, such as the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain. Now that Bai Ke is hungry again, he is about to start looking for dinner for himself. He kept rolling on the snow, his body swaying around in search of prey.
