Chapter 390: Eternal Night Extreme Cold, Violent Storm and Snow
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that the red sun in the sky seemed to be dragged by something at this moment, and it fell rapidly.
It was dark, and then a strong wind blew.
Kong Xiangdong's expression changed greatly, "It's not good, this is going to enter the polar night in advance, go quickly!" ”
In fact, there was no need for him to remind them, Yang Zhan and the others turned their heads and ran back.
Because everyone understands what that means.
After entering the polar night, the temperature drops dramatically, and soon it will reach a point where it is difficult for ordinary creatures to survive.
At that time, not to mention ordinary people, even if you are a martial arts powerhouse, you will have to die in this white desert.
It can be estimated that there should be several days before entering the polar night!
Everyone's hearts were full of doubts.
But at this time, there was no need to care about that much, and it was important to escape, so people rushed to the town.
Zhao Ya wasn't too anxious.
He followed the crowd unhurriedly, and from time to time he glanced back at the sea of innocence that had fallen into darkness, and his eyes flashed with brilliance.
Although this trip to the sea of vain has been fruitful, it has also added countless questions.
These question marks are intertwined to make this sea shrouded in fog all year round seem extremely mysterious.
Especially the final mist surge, which made Zhao Ya have a hint of foreboding in his heart.
Soon, the people were running back to the town.
The town is also in turmoil.
Everyone was running around in horror, as if the end of the world was coming.
When Zhao Ya and Kong Xiangdong returned to the brothel, they saw that the people here were already packing their luggage and convoy in an orderly manner under Jing Rou's command.
When she saw Zhao Ya, Jing Rou nodded, needless to say, I already know what it means.
Zhao Ya also knew that this was not the time to speak, so he turned his head and helped sort out the team.
Although there are many people in the brothel, there are many women among them.
But those who can come to this northern snowfield to beg for a living are not ordinary people.
If nothing else, the composure of these women alone is far beyond that of ordinary men.
Coupled with people who go out a lot, their luggage is always ready.
So soon, everyone had everything ready.
Kong Xiangdong waved his hand, and the team immediately set off and ran to the south.
By this time it was already dark, and because of the heavy snowfall, there was not even a single starlight to be seen.
Only this endless snowfield reflects a dim white light, and when it is projected on the human face, it gives a strong sense of unreality.
It's like being in a dream.
As soon as I left the town, a howling wind hit me, and the temperature instantly dropped to unimaginable levels.
At the same time, the tavern owner Yang Zhan and the rest of the town also led a team to catch up.
There is no greeting or greeting, even if there is a conflict between each other, they can't take care of it at this time.
People are very tacitly united as a team.
After all, in this extreme cold, one more person has one more hope for life.
The team marched forward, but after a hundred steps, the town behind them was gone.
Except for a blizzard, there was almost nothing to be seen.
Even though there was a thick towel around his mouth and nose, the hot air exhaled was quickly frozen into ice ballast.
No one was talking, everyone was hurrying with their heads bowed.
At this time, any extra movement means unnecessary calorie consumption.
This is fatal in the extreme cold.
In the team, only Zhao Ya dared to ignore these rules.
When he looked up, he saw that the road ahead was completely blocked by the increasing wind and snow.
The pitch-black sky is clasped above your head like a pot lid, which makes people feel very depressed.
The point is that in this case, there is simply no way for one to tell the direction.
And once you lose your way, it means death.
Zhao Ya walked quickly to the front of the team, and saw Kong Xiangdong looking down to check something.
Zhao Ya stepped forward to take a look, and found that this was a simple version of the compass.
But at this time, the needle of the compass was trembling, and it was impossible to see where it was pointing.
Kong Xiangdong's face turned pale, and the red glow in his eyes gradually appeared, as if it was a sign that he was about to lose control.
Fortunately, Zhao Ya arrived in time, and immediately shouted when he saw this: "Don't worry, I can find a way out." ”
Hearing Zhao Ya's words, Kong Xiangdong's mood gradually stabilized, and then he looked back at him.
Although he didn't know how Zhao Ya could distinguish the direction in this environment, after this period of contact, Kong Xiangdong knew that Zhao Ya was powerful, so he believed in his words.
Zhao Ya actually felt a little bottomless in his heart.
If it was just him, it would be a big deal to find a place to hide and wait for the blizzard to pass before he could hurry.
Anyway, he is not afraid of the cold, it is nothing more than a matter of leaving early and leaving late.
Not now.
First of all, there is Jing Rou.
Although this senior brother of the Organ Sect Thunder Fire Section has good strength, he still can't fight against this severe cold for a long time.
So even for Jing Rou's sake, you have to leave this area as soon as possible.
Zhao Ya whistled at the sky, and then waited quietly.
By this time people already knew what was going on.
The guiding tool that Kong Xiangdong carried with him failed.
And not only him, but also Yang Zhan and several other people who rushed to the sea used the guiding tools were also ineffective.
And in this kind of weather, everyone knows what it means to be lost.
But at this moment, even if you want to cry, you can't do it.
The extreme cold even froze my tears.
Everyone just gathered together in silence, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.
Zhao Ya whistled at the sky again at this time.
And in order to make the sound go further, he also used real power.
The sharp whistle pierced through the barrier of the wind and snow and echoed in the four fields.
A moment later, I heard a cry in the sky, and then I saw the leader of the white birds appear in the blizzard.
When they saw this huge body, there was a commotion in the team.
The eyes of many people, which had been extinguished, were now rekindled with hope.
Zhao Ya also laughed, stretched out his hand and patted the giant bird that landed beside him.
"Lead the way!"
The white bird leader did not hesitate.
Even such a violent wind and snow had caused great pressure on it, but since Zhao Ya had ordered it, it would carry it out unconditionally.
The huge body flew up with difficulty, then circled in the air before flying in one direction.
"Keep up!"
In fact, there was no need for Zhao Ya to say it, everyone followed very tacitly.
At this point, the snow on the ground was knee-high, and every step was very difficult.
But even the weakest woman is gritting her teeth and holding on at this time, not daring to fall behind.
Because once you fall behind, it means death.
Sweat soaked the inside of the cotton coat, and then formed a thin crust of ice on the outside.
The huge physical exertion caused many people's bodies to tremble.
But the road under his feet seems to be incomplete.
Eventually, someone began to lose their support.
As a woman walked, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and then she was about to fall.
Just then, a hand took her shoulder.
"Can you hold on?" Zhao Ya said in a low voice.
The woman's face turned pale, and a look of gratitude appeared in her eyes, and she kept nodding her head, meaning that she could hold on.
You must know that at such a time, if you can't help yourself, who will have the spare energy to help others.
So even if Zhao Ya just gently helped her, the woman was still grateful.
Zhao Ya sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that this woman was actually lying.
She was afraid that if she said she couldn't hold on, people would leave her.
And it's not just her, many people in the team are already on the verge of physical limits at this time.
Zhao Ya walked quickly to the front of the team, directly opened the luggage of Yang Zhan's team, and took out the wine jar inside.
Fortunately, Yang Zhan's tavern sells high-grade spirits, otherwise, with the current low temperature, the slightly low-alcohol wine will be directly frozen into ice.
Zhao Ya handed the wine jar to the people in turn.
People eagerly uncorked the bottle, took a few sips, and then handed it to the next person.
The liquor is like fire, and after entering the stomach, it quickly dispels the cold on the body.
A smear of blood finally appeared on people's faces.
Not only that, Zhao Ya also took out a whole jar of good wine alone, flew up, and after a few vertical jumps, flew directly to the body of the giant bird in mid-air.
He opened the lid of the jar and poured it directly into the bird.
Because even the native white birds are shivering from the cold weather at this time.
After all, under normal circumstances, it stays in a warm nest in such weather, who would run outside.
However, after this jar of wine was drunk, the giant bird hiccuped very much, and the previous shrinking state was swept away, and even the flying posture was much more stable.
Zhao Ya flew to the ground, and then kept patrolling the front and back of the team to prevent anyone from falling behind.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Ya.
But Zhao Ya has a principle in doing things.
That is, within the scope of one's own ability and without hindering oneself, it is better to give a helping hand or to help.
This is not Our Lady, but a conviction in the heart.
After all, Zhao Ya was able to grow up step by step from a poor boy in a small town, and he had also received help from many people.
For example, if there was no acceptance of Meng Lei, the head of the dart, Zhao Ya would not have stepped into the road of martial arts so smoothly.
And the people in the team were also grateful to Zhao Ya for his help.
Even if Zhao Ya sometimes just helped them.
But in this extremely hostile environment, any help is invaluable.
And just when everyone was struggling to trek, Zhao Ya suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in the wind and snow behind him.
He immediately looked back, but after looking for a long time, he found nothing.
"What's wrong?" Kong Xiangdong also noticed Zhao Ya's strangeness, and immediately gestured and asked.
Zhao Ya shook his head and didn't say anything explicitly.
Although he could be sure that it was not a delusion.
But don't say it again at this time to make a mess.
That would do nothing but increase the pressure on people.
Kong Xiangdong also saw what Zhao Ya meant, so he didn't say anything, turned around and left.
At this time, the only thing he can do is not to cause trouble for Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya quietly retreated to the end of the line.
At this time, his perception ability was also greatly weakened due to the blizzard.
But Zhao Ya found a strange phenomenon.
That is, as long as you are engrossed in thinking about something, the processing speed of the brain will jump to a level.
Not only can it block distracting thoughts, but also whether it is the agility of thinking or the ability to associate is far beyond the usual.
It's like your brain is overclocked.
Zhao Ya speculated that this should be the effect of brain unlocking.
And that's where this ability comes in handy.
Zhao Ya inhaled slowly, then blocked all distracting thoughts and began to expand his range of perception.
The wind and snow were mixed, like countless noises, interfering with Zhao Ya's perception.
But at this time, the overclocked brain shows a lot of processing power.
These noises are quickly screened out .......
Soon, Zhao Ya's perception ability adapted to the surrounding environment.
Finally.
Once again, he caught something unusual.
Obviously, this breath is by no means human, and it is somewhat familiar!
It's a human-faced bear!
Zhao Ya reacted immediately.
And more than one, at least a colony of human-faced bears.
This discovery made Zhao Ya's expression become solemn.
Of course, he was not afraid of such strange beasts.
But at this moment, in this environment, if this group of human-faced bears sneaks up again, then these fleeing people are estimated to all have to die.
Zhao Ya silently clenched the hilt of the knife on his waist and prepared for battle.
This blizzard also made many of Zhao Ya's methods impossible to deploy at all.
In particular, the methods of poison have been greatly restricted.
After all, if you release poison powder in such a strong wind, it will be blown away immediately.
Otherwise, you can use this group of human-faced bears to test your newly developed poison powder.
But Zhao Ya waited for a while, but found that these bears didn't seem to have the intention of sneaking attack, but had been following behind honestly.
Not only that, along with the brain's filtering of the surrounding environmental noise, Zhao Ya also discovered several other strange beasts.
For example, the group of snow wolves that followed behind the human-faced bear.
It's just that these strange beasts, who usually fight to the death as soon as they meet, are all very tacitly not attacking each other at this time, but marching silently.
Zhao Ya suddenly realized.
It turned out that these strange beasts didn't want to sneak attack, but to take advantage of the road.
After all, with their own group of people leading the way, it will be much easier for them to walk.
After noticing this, Zhao Ya relaxed a lot.
Although he is still vigilant, at least for the time being, the danger is temporarily removed.
He hurried to the front of the group, punching the hole and making a gesture of peace and soundness to the east.
Kong Xiangdong's hanging heart fell to the ground.
In this way, people trekked with difficulty, and when they were tired of walking, they drank wine to warm their bodies.
I don't know how long it has been.
People have become sluggish and numb, and even feel that this blizzard will never stop at that moment.
Suddenly.
It was as if a giant hand had pressed the pause button, and the howling cold wind disappeared.
Along with the snowflakes that disappeared from the sky.
The starlight shines down and is projected into everyone's eyes.
