Chapter 98: Coming to the Northern Snow Mountain
Looking up at the swirling and falling snowflakes, I was amazed when the river flowed.
It was ten o'clock in the morning, and there was a faint sun hanging in the pale sky, which could only be found by careful searching.
It stands to reason that when the river flows, you should rush to avoid the sunlight that can incinerate the demons to ashes.
But the dense snowflakes in the sky obscured the sunlight, allowing him to walk normally now.
"It's really a place for ghosts."
I have long heard that the northern snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the harsh environment is cold all year round.
But when he actually came here, he still found it very interesting.
At this moment, it is already spring in the outside world, and the sun has become warm under normal circumstances, even if you have not personally felt it when the river flows.
Ghosts are afraid of the sun, but the snow here is heavy all year round, and the sun can't shine in at all, so you can easily move around day and night.
And there are quite a few towns under the mountain, and there are many human beings.
In this way, it is normal for there to be ghosts here.
"Tomioka, where should he be?"
Chuan Liushi looked at the plague-dispelling fox face hanging from his waist, then turned his gaze to the straight, and walked straight and fast in Snow Mountain Town.
Soon, he was in the middle of Snow Mountain Town.
Now Chuanliu is in the middle of the streets of Snow Mountain Town, and there are many people in Snow Mountain Town wearing clothes woven from wild animal skins and setting up stalls selling local goods.
And those items are also mostly obtained from the northern snow-capped mountains, and most of them are parts of the body of some beasts.
A middle-aged man with a thick beard on his cheeks and a somewhat decadent look at the river when he saw the stream.
He asked: "Stranger, do you want to see this string of wolf tooth necklace, this is the snow wolf tooth of our northern snow-capped mountains, which cannot be seen in the outside world." ”
Chuanliushi lowered his head and saw that it was a burly man with a rusty shotgun on his back.
Squatting down, he looked at the necklace that the hunter had spoken of.
A necklace rope twisted from Mai Dong with four silent wolf fangs hanging from it.
It is indeed a beautiful wolf tooth, the snow-white wolf tooth is not dirty, and the tip of the wolf tooth is still shining like a dagger knife.
It seems that the wolves here wash their teeth with snow water.
"Uncle, I heard that Snow Mountain Town has always been self-sufficient, why is it still selling things now?"
"You don't want to sell it, do you?"
The reluctance was evident from the hunter's face.
These wolf teeth are in good condition, and it must have been a snow wolf as strong as a calf when it was alive, and it was not easy to hunt even with a shotgun.
This is an item that can be regarded as a hunter's glory, how can it be easily taken out and sold.
And I had heard of Snow Mountain Town before I came.
Although the environment here is harsh, a mountain is more than enough to feed a town.
The peculiar environment has also attracted many curious people from the outside world to come to travel and increase their knowledge.
The hunters of Snow Mountain never sell their prey, but they are not stingy, on the contrary, they are very hospitable.
One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and this majestic and magnificent snow-capped mountain has also given birth to the heroic and atmospheric snow-capped town people.
When outsiders come, they are usually greeted as guests.
If you look at it, you will give away a unique item similar to a wolf's tooth necklace without asking for anything in return.
The hunter sighed slightly, and said with some fear: "No way, we haven't been peaceful recently, and most of the hunters who went to the mountains have died." ”
"One of the survivors said it was like a giant bear that haunts the winter sun, and we usually call this bear a burrower, hungry and vicious, very dangerous."
"Some time ago I went hunting with a few friends, but I was the only one who came back alive...... They all died in the snowy mountains, but I didn't even see the shadow of the bear. ”
"I don't have the courage to go to the snowy mountains now, so I can only go to other towns below the mountains to buy supplies to survive the heavy snowfall."
"I'm so ashamed to make you laugh."
This burly and rough-looking hunter had a look of fear and fear on his face at the moment, which did not match his appearance.
At first glance, it looked a little funny, but when I was in the flow, I felt a little heavy from his words.
The hunters who live on the mountains do not dare to go up the mountain, which directly cuts off their roots, and even their spirit is weakened.
Moreover, is it really a bear that leaves the burrow in winter?
No matter how ferocious a bear is, it stands to reason that it can't fight these experienced hunters.
Chuan Liushi comforted: "Don't worry, no matter how difficult the situation is, it will pass sooner or later." ”
There is no real solution to the problem, and Chuanliushi can't think of any other way to comfort him, so he can only support it with slightly pale language.
The hunter smiled bitterly: "I understand, I only wish I could pass sooner, before I completely lose my courage." ”
Every time a hunter who does not admit defeat and is not afraid of death dies, his fear of the snowy mountains is aggravated.
The hunter subconsciously touched the shotgun on his back with his hand, and he was really afraid that one day he would completely lose the courage to go up the mountain.
And Kawaru thought about bringing a special product back to Tanjiro, so he bought the wolf tooth necklace directly without asking the price.
Putting the necklace in his arms and putting it away, Kawarushi asked, "By the way, have you ever heard of a man named Tomioka Yoshiyoshi?" “
"He's my friend, he came to Snow Mountain Town before me, but now I can't find him."
"Please let me know if you have any information about him."
The hunter shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, this name is very unfamiliar." ”
At this moment, the sound of an argument suddenly came from not far away.
It was a crisp and determined young female voice.
"Nope! I'm a hunter, I have my own gun, I take revenge on myself, I don't go to the police station. ”
Chuanliu, who had just stood up, subconsciously turned his head to look over.
It was a delicate-looking young girl with anger and determination in her eyes.
She wears a head-protecting hat made of snowy mountain velvet rabbit fur, a snow-white neckless robe made of the fur of an unknown beast, and an age-looking shotgun on her back.
At this moment, the girl was arguing with two people in similar costumes in front of her.
A middle-aged hunter who looked to be in his fifties said bitterly: "Yae, you also know how many hunters have died on the mountain now, and it is too dangerous for you to keep looking for that bear in the mountain. ”
"We understand your feelings, but your strength ...... You are really not allowed to do this, your hunting experience is not enough, and it is dangerous to enter the mountains. ”
"You are also one of the victims, if you are lucky enough to survive, don't take the initiative to enter the mountain."
