Chapter 62: Into the Snowfield

It was a full five days of travel.

When Lindsay got up on the sixth day, he was not in the same hurry as before.

Ahead of you is an endless wasteland with endless snowfields, and the trees are reduced to many things once you enter them.

Before stepping into this area.

This was Lindsay's last chance to prepare.

Early in the morning, he caught a grayling in the nearby river, which was roasted over a campfire and pulled by its tail to easily drag the whole spine out, making it delicious and quite convenient to eat.

After enjoying this short breakfast, Lindsay stepped into the woods beside her.

He's looking for the right trees.

Of the three antimony arrows that Joel gave him when he set out, only the one that Dan shot at the end was still intact, the other two were shattered by the dryad volley, and the other shot into his body, breaking the shaft of the arrow in the battle.

Lindsey didn't waste the luxury of such a high-quality weapon.

The shaft of the arrow is broken, but the arrow is fine. He retrieved two antimony arrowheads and put them in his bag.

Click-

It didn't take long for a gray-tailed squirrel in the tree to catch Lindsay's attention. He had already eaten breakfast, so naturally he had no intention of hunting too much. But the oak tree where the squirrel was perched could have been Lindsay's target.

"That's you."

Lindsay stepped forward at once.

The oak tree grew thick and strong.

Even the thick branches were enough for Lindsay, and there was no need to cut it down entirely.

Lindsay immediately climbed up and slashed out with a few knives, and two branches that were thick and long enough fell to the ground.

Leaning against the oak trees, Lindsay sharpened them into long, straight poles, cut a notch at one end, inserted the prepared antimony arrows into it, and tied them with rope.

In this way, two spears appeared in Lindsay's hand.

The antimony arrows prepared by Joel use armor-piercing conical arrows, so there is no need to worry about piercing performance.

Lindsay chose to make spears instead of arrows.

The reason is that qualified arrow shafts are quite cumbersome to make, and even if they can be used for shooting, they will greatly lose the stability of the arrows when flying.

So between an arrow that is very likely to miss the target, and a simple and easy to use spear, Lindsay wisely chooses the latter.

Weapons ready.

Lindsay refilled the river with some more water.

Then he resolutely took the step into the wasteland.

On the desolate plains, Lindsey traveled very fast, but along the way, there were only a few trees growing freely, most of them low and windproof, and there was also moss around them.

The whole morning passed.

Lindsay didn't see anything of note in the wilderness, and the snow was approaching in the distance.

But just as he rested on time at noon and took out an ice badger leg to prepare for the barbecue.

Lindsay had barely raised the fire when he saw a coyote coming towards him. There were three of them, one of them watching Lindsay menacingly from a distance, and the other two surrounded them in two directions.

"Huh-"

"This is forcing me to add food......"

Lindsay raised an eyebrow slightly.

These gray coyotes are not magical beasts, and they are not difficult for him to deal with, and he can even be said to be able to capture them.

But there is also one thing worth noting.

The three coyotes emerged from the west, and then the two surrounding themselves came towards them from the north and south. They avoided the east side the whole way, and even if their prey might escape from that side, they had no intention of continuing to outflank them.

This is not a normal move for a hungry beast.

The explanation that Lindsay could think of was something that threatened them in the snowfields to the east, and that it was the kind of coyotes that they had seen or even had their own kind or prey directly affected, which made them react in awe.

With that in mind, Lindsay took her bow and arrow from her bag.

In the next second, two arrows flashed, and the coyotes approaching him from the north and south immediately fell to the ground.

Lindsey continued to raise her bow and aim.

The coyote to the west was too far away, at least 70 meters away.

His archery skills may not guarantee a single hit......

"Whew!"

Just under Lindsay's aim, the surviving coyote turned around and ran away without hesitation.

“……”

"It's okay, just save me an arrow."

Lindsay shrugged her shoulders and dragged back the prey she had sent to the door.

He now has plenty of food on hand, and the ice badger meat alone is enough for him to eat for more than 10 days.

I don't bother to deal with coyotes at the moment, just throw the bag and it's over.

After lunch, Lindsay boiled another pot of hot water to warm up.

His foot travel is far faster than that of ordinary people, and the problem of physical wear and tear is also not to worry about under the extraordinary physique of 15 points now. The snow line, which could only be seen in the distance last night, is now close at hand.

Lindsay estimated that there was still half an hour before she could set foot in this icy world.

And the coyote he killed seemed to signal the land. Tell all the creatures of the moor that Lindsay, the uninvited guest, was on his way, and that he had hardly been disturbed all afternoon.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun had not yet set, and the cold wind from the snowfield swept in and blew on Lindsay's face.

"Shhhh

Although there is an [Ice Badger Claw Pendant] that provides cold resistance.

But after stepping into this white world, Lindsay still couldn't help but have a cold war.

The former wasteland.

It felt just desolate enough, and Lindsey even encountered a coyote attack.

But when you walk into this snowfield, the only breath of life is completely gone, and even the trees covered by the heavy snow become lifeless.

With low temperatures and desolation, this snowfield has only one feeling.

- The forbidden land of life.

Lindsey walked on this lifeless land.

At first, it was okay, it was nothing more than a rush in the silent land, and other aspects did not affect him.

But soon, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker.

Lindsey tried to take the spear out and stabbed it vertically under the snow.

Flutter –

The spear instantly sank into the snow, nearly halfway through.

The depth of snow here is close to or even more than a meter! Continuing to look ahead, this snowfield may not see the end in a short time, and who knows how bad the environment will be after that.

Lindsey walked here, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

He was able to recover his strength, but the height difference between each foot was more than his knees, which was still awkward and uncomfortable.

“……”

"It's not going to go on like this."

Lindsay simply stopped.

In order to make it easier to make a fire at any time, Lindsay often prepares wood in her bag before resting these days.

Now this wood can be used again.

He took out the thicker, but less dense wood, and sharpened it into flat, wide planks with a long dagger, and tied it with rope to the soles of his feet.

Lindsey tried on the snow with her new shoes.

Such a simple transformation made him feel like he was stepping on two sleds under his feet.

The increased contact area allowed the snow to bear the weight of Lindsay's body, and he was finally able to walk here like a normal person, without his body being shallow and deep in the snow, like a gopher constantly probing.

"That's pretty much it."

Lindsay nodded in satisfaction as he continued deeper into the endless white wilderness.
