Lawrence quickly arranged everything, and was ready to set off with only a basket on his back and a spear as a crutch.

As soon as he took a few steps with his spear and stick, the women behind him followed.

Lawrence and the others walked out of the house to the outside world, where the snow was still falling.

The sky was still overcast, and Sariel said with some concern: "The weather is bad today, this kind of weather is not a good sign, you should go out tomorrow." ”

Lawrence laughed: "There is not much good weather in winter, and if I don't take advantage of this time to go, if the snow melts, it will be even more troublesome for me to walk." ”

"Alright, I'm leaving!" Lawrence didn't talk nonsense, quickly turned over and rode on the black unicorn, and walked directly to the passage of the castle under the gaze of everyone.

Sariel and the others followed and walked out, intending to go outside and watch Lawrence leave.

But when he went out, he saw only the shadow of a black unicorn, and one man and one rider had disappeared into the oak forest.

Many of the roads in the mountains and forests are built in a roundabout way, and many oak trees are planted nearby, and the main effect is to prevent the enemy from attacking in a straight line.

Sariel wanted to look at Lawrence for a while, but she couldn't see far from the castle gate, and she could see more if she was upstairs.

The elder Loshanda said, "Let's go in, Lawrence should be back soon." ”

The rest of the people nodded and began to go into the house and do their own thing.

On the other side, Lawrence quickly reached the outside of the Mountain Wind Manor.

This time Lawrence doesn't bring anyone and dogs, including unicorns.

"Alright, just send me here." Lawrence patted the black unicorn on the head.

After the unicorn stopped by the river, Lawrence dismounted from the unicorn and stomped his foot on the cold, hard snow to make the long leather boots that Sarile had sewn more comfortable and fit well.

The unicorn looked at Lawrence and gently pressed the side of his cheek against Lawrence's arm.

"Don't be coquettish, this time it's my own business, and I'm going to walk the next road by myself." Lawrence smiled at the unicorn, quickly turned around, and walked forward firmly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, if I don't come back in half a month, you can bring them to me." ”

Under the watchful eye of the unicorn and the nearby residents, as well as several large dogs crouching on the high riverbank, Lawrence walked towards the end of the river with an iron spear in hand and his feet on the ice.

The farther you go, the snowflakes in the sky get bigger, like shattered dust, and when they hit your body, they shatter into even finer particles.

Lawrence squinted his eyes and walked through the wind and snow, only to feel that the catkins dancing in the wind could not describe the real snowflakes at all, and sprinkling salt in the air was the best metaphor for this kind of snowfall.

A large amount of snowflakes quickly piled up on his body and brown bearskin hat.

Lawrence was physically fit, and when he felt something was wrong, he found that his arms, shoulders, and head were stacked with large snowdrifts.

As the snow drifted on its own, it shook and fell, and some of it fell, but soon a new one fell.

"Ahh The elves of the snowy mountains! You put your arms around my back and arms like a woman and warm my body! Stay with me! ”

Lawrence, alone and bored, cried out in this place where no one knew him: "Ravenfeather Prophet, come and visit!" ”

"Hahaha! Not even a response. Lawrence smiled, and the snowflakes on his body fell quite a bit.

There is no snow or glacier at your feet, and as far as the eye can see, there is a blur of white snow and a mountain that seems to be gray forever.

"It's no wonder that it's easy to get separated from people in heavy snow, the sound can't travel too far, the sight is also disturbed by snow flakes, and the sloping mountain is indeed easy to make people lose their center of gravity and lose their way."

Lawrence spoke to himself, and soon became quiet again, continuing to walk forward step by step.

The river does not slope down into the mountains, but rather rainwater from the high places that collects from all sides to the low-lying areas.

The high mountains on both sides are the source of water for this great river.

Normally, the river is not so turbulent, and it is only when a large amount of rain and water falls on both sides that a turbulent flood will form.

In particular, rainwater that falls on a large area of the mountain forest in a short period of time collects along the steep slopes on both sides and collects in the low-lying river, forming a powerful flow of water that pushes the planks of the waterwheel.

Lawrence's route was not to climb directly from the low to the high, but to follow the waterway into the mountains, approaching the snowy mountain that had always been in everyone's view.

The wind and snow soon stopped, but Lawrence did not stop.

There is a lot less snow in the vicinity, only a dozen centimeters of snow in many places, and the sun is exceptionally bright.

When there is no wind in the air at all, there is a feeling of warmth.

But soon when a gust of wind blows, it can make people feel the coldness of the skin shattering.

Lawrence swept the snow off his body with his hands, he didn't do it just now because he couldn't finish it, and now that the weather is fine, he naturally won't let these snowflakes cover him.

The sun was unusually harsh, and Lawrence looked at the bright sun hanging over the mountains and realized that he had gone from morning to about one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

Turning around, Lawrence could no longer see the river he was coming from, and had only walked for five or six hours.

Lawrence looked at the road ahead again, and there was a mountain in front of him, and there was no way out to the left or right.

When I was at home, I could see the snowy mountain, but when I entered the mountains, the mountain was gone.

Nearby are all steep mountains, and they are all covered with a lot of snow, so they all look similar.

Lawrence determined the direction, looked around and chose to go northwest.

Despite facing a high mountain, Lawrence didn't want to take a detour, so he went straight to the front of the hillside several meters high and began to move his arms.

It wasn't hard to climb up, and Lawrence wasn't going to do that for the time being.

Leave a mark before turning it over.

Lawrence needs to give a guide to the people behind him, if something happens to him in front, and the people behind him don't have the ability to perceive the direction accurately, even the perception of crows and witches is very limited in this kind of mountain.

There are no trees on the mountain, but there are a lot of stones.

Lawrence sat down to rest for a few minutes, replenished some food and some warm-up drink, and then got to work, piling up signposts on a high hill.

After doing these things, Lawrence's body was fully functional.

With a slight acceleration of the run, Lawrence quickly climbed the hillside with a backpack and a spear on his back, stepping on some rocks on the cliff.

Behind the hillside is another mountain, another road.

You don't need to worry about the direction of the river, the next step is to go deep into the mountains.

By the time the sun had set, Lawrence had found a pine forest to shelter from the wind and rain.

There are alpine trees, mainly pine trees, and there are many traces of wildlife in the woods, but they all look small and there are no signs of giant animals.

Lawrence found a place to light a fire and took out the jerky he had brought with him to heat it up.

The damp pine trees emitted a lot of smoke, and Lawrence remembered that it seemed like a long, long time ago, and that he had lived alone in the wilderness, and that he had choked on burning pine branches in the house all night.

Remembering what happened more than ten years ago, Lawrence couldn't help but smile and gently chew the beef jerky in his mouth.

The snow in the woods doesn't look very clean, so I don't drink the water here for a while, and only use the water I bring with me to moisten my throat.

"It's time to find some water tomorrow, and I hope to see the Snow Mountain tomorrow."

Lawrence looked at the burning flames, and the smoke blew to the other side, not obscuring the view.

At the same time, because it is a semi-open fire, there is no need to worry about the smoke not being able to escape.

"The mountain should be a little smaller than I expected, the northern location of the Agama Mountains has been discovered, and it only takes a day or two to row from Ferry Harbor to Flying Fish Harbor."

"With this distance as a reference, and also considering the difference between mountain roads and waterways, if you count these, the straight-line distance of this mountain should not exceed ten days."

"If I can't get to the snowy mountain in three days, then I have to go back."

"The food I carry is enough for more than ten days to replenish, and if I have water, I have to find a clean place to replenish it, and I don't know how many years the snow here has frozen, so I always feel a little uneasy."

Lawrence was thinking about things when he quickly felt movement in the distance.

A white creature, less than a meter tall, was cautiously approaching the area.

As Lawrence looked at it, the white snow wolf also crouched quietly in the snow, staring at the dangerous man sitting by the campfire.

The two sides looked at each other for two or three seconds, and the snow wolf's eyes looked at Lawrence, and also at the piece of beef in Lawrence's hand.

"Get out!" Lawrence coldly scolded: "Otherwise, I will kill you!" ”

"Woo......" The snow wolf quickly let out a timid sound, bent over and turned to leave.

It walks quickly and quietly.

After the snow wolf left, Lawrence continued to eat his own dinner, thinking about exploring the mountains.

At present, there is no particularly complicated terrain on this mountain, mainly because I am on the road, and I am walking on a relatively flat road.

Today is not a complete straight line, life is not a game, when you encounter a low road that can be walked on both sides, you will still take a detour, instead of jumping over the space bar all the time.

Thinking about climbing the mountain, Lawrence suddenly felt a little thirsty.

His gaze quickly fell on the snow in the distance, and when he saw the white snow, Lawrence thought of something else.

The Barbarian King quickly stood up, picked up the spear at his feet in one hand, and walked towards the position of the snow wolf just now.

There are still footprints of the snow wolf on the ground.

"That wolf's blood is just hot."

Lawrence narrowed his eyes, "This must be the guidance of the elves of the mountains so that I can eat hot food." ”

"Thank you, Elf of the Mountain!"

Lawrence quickly chased after him.

Despite the warmer and waterproof ice bear skins, as well as plenty of food and drink, the beast that appeared on the boring night awakened Lawrence's desire to hunt as a male.

Whether it's a squirrel or a rabbit, Lawrence has always been able to kill it, and he didn't kill wild boars and bears because he couldn't beat them.

I didn't have a chance to fight wolves before, but now that I have encountered it, I can't let it go!

Lawrence no longer wanted to conserve his physical strength, conserve his physical strength, and not do unnecessary hunting, but quickly chased after seeing the footprints left by the snow wolf.

"That wolf hasn't gone far!" Lawrence quickly picked up the pace.

The snow wolf in front is searching for traces of food, although it is not hungry and can carry it for a few more days, but spring will not come for a while, and there is not much food now.

The snow wolf seemed to have noticed something, looked left and right, and then sniffed something with his nose.

After feeling the characteristic male scent of the barbarians wafting from a distance, the snow wolf did not hesitate and quickly fled into the distance.

One minute......

Three-minute ......

Five minutes......

Lawrence arrived belatedly, looking at the footprints on the ground, and clearly saw the traces of escape, rather than slow walking.

"Has it been discovered?" Lawrence sighed, as the motivation to eat and hunt gradually cooled down.

Lawrence quickly turned around and walked back, "I now have the barbarian's madness and the ability to talk to witches, but I don't have the sentiency of wizards, my keen sense of smell and clear vision. ”

"At present, some of them have combat strategy abilities, and they have the strength to fight with beasts, but the ability to search for beasts has not been improved, and they rely on the assistance of others."

The barbarians' combat ability has always been not weak, in terms of hunting, whether it is a wild boar or a land storm bear, it can be killed, at the beginning, a group of people in Phumixiu Town alone killed a mountain boar bigger than Pig, and even Pig's wild boar father was slaughtered by a few of his own people.

Compared to combat ability, the search ability is more lacking.

Rather than fighting the Snow Wolf, it is important to be able to keep the Snow Wolf and find the Snow Wolf.

At the same time, the snow wolf, these beasts, are also very aware of the horror of barbarians, especially male barbarians, and Lawrence can make this little hungry snow wolf retreat with just one look.

If you don't run, you'll die, you'll be skinned and torn apart, just like the animal skin that the man was wearing.

This clever snow wolf relied on good luck to survive the winter.

Lawrence quickly returned to the campfire, where the flames were almost extinguished, and only a few of them remained.

After adding a few pieces of wood, a large amount of smoke quickly burned out of the campfire, and then slowly flames came out.

Lawrence examined his backpack and the snow around him, and was relieved to make sure that no one and the beast had stolen his backpack while he was leaving.

"You can't be so reckless in the future, and you can't forget what you want to do because of a little thing."

Lawrence earnestly admonished himself: "I am not a barbarian, I am a civilized man!" (End of chapter)
