Chapter 36: Ice and Snow
I don't know what I'm going to experience next, but at least at this moment they are confident and united. Mo Zhuoyu briefly told the other three about his experience of picking jade beads.
The cold weather in the ice and snow blurred the vision of the exhaled breath. Several people looked at the new environment and guessed what would happen this time.
At a glance, it was all white. Snowflakes as big as goose feathers kept falling from the sky, and the few people who were not blocked by spiritual power were covered with snow in an instant.
"This place is quiet, there is no living creature as far as the eye can see, what do you think will happen?" Wu Halfian used a spell to clear the snowflakes on his body and separated a spiritual power cover.
Mo Zhuoyu looked around and did not speak.
Jiang Cheng also shook his head, "I don't know, but I can't wait for an answer here, let's take a look around first." ”
Several people nodded, agreeing with him. Now in the ice and snow, there is no movement except for the constantly falling snowflakes. If you want to make progress, you can't stay here forever.
But the ice field was too vast, and the four chose to act together in order not to disperse.
In order to save spiritual power, the four of them walked on the thick snow one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Most of the day passed, except for the gradual exhaustion of the body, there was no gain. I didn't meet any demon beasts, and the surroundings were still white, and it seemed that a few people had been standing in place without moving. And as time passed, the surrounding temperature became colder and colder, and several people had to use spiritual power to maintain the temperature of their bodies.
"It's getting late, it's getting colder, so let's find a place to rest and then continue looking. Jiang Cheng looked at the dim sky.
"There is ice and snow everywhere here, where is there a place to hide?" Wu Halfian complained.
Xiao Siying, who was on the side, opened his mouth, "Dig an ice cave, my grandfather used to hunt snow foxes in the snow, and I heard him say that this can keep you warm and avoid wind and snow." ”
Mo Zhuoyu had heard of this method, so he nodded in agreement. The other two have no opinion.
Several of them were foundation building monks, and digging an ice cave was a breeze. After three or two efforts, a cave wide appeared on the ground out of thin air. Jumping inside, the hole was simply covered with animal skins, and a few people rested.
With the shield of the ice cave, there is finally no need to use spiritual power to isolate the ice and snow. Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and they all looked for a place, sat down cross-legged, and meditated and pranayama.
The night gradually covered the sky, and all that remained in the cave was the faint glimmer of moonstone.
For a while, the world was silent.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a crashing sound, which woke up several people who were originally meditating.
Glancing at each other to confirm that the sound was coming from outside, several people instantly stood up vigilantly.
Jiang Cheng pressed his fingers against his lips, signaled silence, and pointed to the hole covered by animal skins. Moving lightly, he lifted the hide and looked out. No obvious anomalies were found, so one jumped out.
The rest of the men, standing in the middle of the cave, did not act rashly.
In the middle of the sound, I saw Jiang Cheng holding an object in his hand and jumping into the hole.
"It's this" threw the thing in his hand on the ground, Jiang Cheng said.
Mo Zhuoyu's eyes gathered on the corpse on the ground, and he wondered, "Is it a bird?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "I didn't see anything else outside, only this bird died at the entrance of the cave."
Mo Zhuoyu casually took a long ice sculpture and turned the bird corpse on the ground over. I was amazed to see its white to transparent feathers and the most indelible pink on the tip of its beak.
"This is a Ryukyu-to-Snowbird," Mo Zhuoyu said in an inexplicable low tone.
Several people didn't react for a while, and suddenly Xiao Siying exclaimed, "Liuxueniao, is that Liuxueniao?"
Mo Zhuoyu nodded, "That's it, it's the Liuxue bird that can solve the fire poison of the Pompeii worm." ”
This remark instantly reminded several people of the Zhou Week when they died because of the Pompeii worm. For a while, several people fell silent. The antidote was so close, but Zhou Du never had a chance to detoxify again. This makes people sigh, is there really a providence in the dark!
In the end, it was Jiang Cheng who opened his mouth to break the silence, "The deceased is gone, and it is useless to think about it." Now we should discuss whether this sudden appearance of the Ryukyuki will be the key to this breakthrough. ”
Mo Zhuoyu also retracted his thoughts, and when he heard this, he thought, "It is very likely that this Liuxueniao is the same thing as the Pompeii Worm. It's hard to see in this world, and the sudden appearance now is likely to be our goal this time. ”
"But why, we walked for most of the day without seeing any trace of it, and now it suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave?" Wu Halfian wondered.
"This is because the snowbird is afraid of light and only haunts the night. And this snowbird who died at the entrance of the cave must have been frightened by the light of the moonstone and accidentally fell to his death. Mo Zhuoyu thought of the habits of the Liuxue Bird and guessed.
"Then this time we must also kill all the snowbirds in the ice field", Xiao Siying asked in a low voice, puzzled.
"Senior Sister Mo, what do you think?" Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Mo Zhuoyu.
Mo Zhuoyu shook his head, "Maybe not, from our previous experience, after we get something, it will let us leave the original place." Originally, I thought we were going to kill all the demon beasts, but in the last level, we just got the jade bead and successfully left. So, maybe our original conjecture was wrong, not to kill the demon beast, but to obtain something from the demon beast. For example, the bloodstone of a blood lizard and the sharp thorns of a Pompeii worm. ”
"So this time you want to get the Ryukiya's Inner Dan?" Wu Mustian asked suspiciously as he broke open the Ryukiya on the ground and took out a white Nedan.
However, there was no reaction in the past half-ring, and it was obviously not that simple.
Mo Zhuoyu saw that several people looked at him suspiciously, and said with a wry smile, "I'm just guessing, besides, even if it's really the Inner Dan of the Snow Bird, it's definitely not simple, just any bird." If it were so easy, would it take us that long to come out in the desert!"
This is reasonable, but the ice field is so big, where to find the key Ryukyuk! For a while, several people fell silent in frustration.
Seeing this, Mo Zhuoyu had no choice but to continue, "Half of the night has passed, and when the snowbird is completely hidden, it will be even more difficult to find it." Let's hurry up and go outside to look for clues."
Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed, "Yes, time is pressing, let's not delay any longer." Let's go out in pairs and look for it. ”
Next, Mo Zhuoyu was in a group with Jiang Cheng, and Wu Busian was in a group with Xiao Siying. After walking out of the cave and agreeing on the signal, they each chose a direction to leave.
In order not to scare away the snowbird, Mo Zhuoyu and the others did not take out the moonstone for lighting.
The surroundings were dark, but fortunately, the two of them were possessed by spiritual power, and they could barely see the movements around them.
