Chapter Eighty-Six: Heavy Snow
The wolves are gone, the horses are no longer barking, the sky is full of snowflakes, and the night is quiet.
"Yes, I've already driven the wolves away!" said Akigoshi.
"Qiuyue, I can't see through you more and more, you are more magical than a shaman, and you drove the wolves away in a while. You don't know the way, if we encounter wolves on weekdays, it will be equivalent to giving up our lives!" said Daddy Lei Luo.
Qiu Yue smiled and didn't speak, dusting off the snowflakes on his body, "Come, drink some mare's milk wine and warm your body!" Lei Luo handed over a bag of mare's milk wine.
Qiu Yue took the mare's milk wine and took a big sip with his neck up.
"Depending on the weather, the snow will fall heavier and heavier, and it will be very difficult for us to walk, but fortunately the patriarch of Pak had the foresight to prepare hay for us to wrap the horseshoe to prevent it from slipping. Lei Luo said.
Qiu Yue also secretly admired this Pak patriarch, he was very thoughtful and time-pressing, it had been eight days since he came out, and there were still seven days before the Phantom Castle disappeared. Because Phantom Castle appears every ninety years or so, each time it appears for a month, and now there are only seven days left.
Phantom Castle must be found within seven days, and while everyone is still in the Walker Prairie, it would normally take three to four days to get out of the Prairie. It's snowing now, and the time to get out of the prairie will definitely be extended, so the time left after the end is only two to three days. If you can't get there as soon as possible and the castle disappears, then if you want to find it in the future, it will be difficult to find it!
Qiu Yue had been thinking deeply and did not speak.
Wang Benchuan is also pondering, the snow does bring a lot of inconvenience to walking, and he can only hope that the snow will not fall so much. Ling Feng was sitting there drinking mare's milk wine.
Qiu Yue suddenly raised his head suddenly, and said with a bright eye: "No matter how heavy the snow is tomorrow, we must get out of the Walker Prairie within three days, so that we still have four days to look for the Phantom Castle in Hera Snow Mountain, otherwise we will run in vain this time, and the most important thing is that the lives of thousands of people are waiting for us!"
Wang Benchuan also raised his head, clapped his hands and said: "I agree with Brother Qiuyue's opinion, no matter how big the difficulty is, we must overcome it!"
Ling Feng applauded: "I'm no problem, I've encountered a harsher environment than this, and I'll definitely be able to get out of the prairie in three days!"
"I'm out of the woods! Seeing that you are so determined, I am alone, and I am not afraid of anything! If we all work together, we will definitely be able to get out of the Walker Prairie in three days!" said Lei Luo excitedly.
Qiu Yue smiled and stretched out his palm, "Come, let's work together to get through the difficulties together!" Ling Feng was the first to press his hand on Qiu Yue's hand, followed by Wang Benchuan and Lei Luo's father.
Everyone barely slept that night, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and when the sky was bright, it was already white outside the tent. It was snowing so hard that night that the horses were so cold that it was sudden. When the group came out, the snow was barely knee-high.
"Damn! God is also deliberately fixing us, such a big snow!" Ling Feng scolded helplessly.
"Pack up your tents, I'll go and wrap the horses with hay, and we'll set out when they're ready. "Daddy Thunder took the hay and galloped away.
Father Lei Luo wrapped the horse's hooves, Qiuyue Lingfeng and the others also packed up the tent, and everyone rode on their horses and set off.
The snow was very thick, and it was very slow to walk, and the horse trembled all over, and after walking for more than four hours, the horse really couldn't stand it, and stopped and couldn't go, and let the whip whip whip it, but it refused to move forward.
"The weather is too cold for the horse to bear, and if it continues like this, the horse will definitely freeze to death. Lei Luo worried.
What should I do? At this rate, I won't be able to get out of the Walker Grassland for even five days!
The people were dumbfounded, how could they walk without the horses! But the horses refused to go, and it would snow heavily at night, and it would be even more difficult to walk.
"Horseback riding is no longer possible, we have to walk, I think of a shortcut, go northwest, and at the end we will see a Ramni river, as long as we cross the river to reach the Hera Snow Mountain. Tears were raised.
"The Ramni River is too deep and wide for us to cross!" Relo then worried.
"Don't worry about that, depending on the weather, it's going to snow at night, there's going to be a north wind, the temperature will continue to drop, and we'll be able to walk to the Rumni River in about two days, and then the Rumni River will definitely be frozen and we'll be able to walk over the ice. Wang Benchuan looked at the map and said.
Tears was well acquainted with the geography of the Walker Prairie, and had crossed the Rumney River once, which is why he made this bold suggestion.
Lei Luo then added, "But the last time I crossed the river, it froze, we can try!"
"It's a bold method, we can try it!" Qiu Yue looked at Lei Luo approvingly.
"According to the current situation, we can't walk out of the Walker Prairie for three days, taking the Ramni River is a shortcut, depending on the current weather changes, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the river will definitely freeze, and then we can cross the river smoothly, it is worth trying!"
Wang Benchuan nodded and said, "It seems that we can only move chess, otherwise we won't be able to get out of the Walker Prairie in three days." ”
Lei Luo looked at the sky in the distance, stretched out his palm, felt the direction of the wind, and nodded: "It makes sense, now that the wind direction has changed, the northwest wind is blowing, it is estimated that the temperature will drop sharply tonight, and the surface of the Ramni River should be frozen, so let's take this route." ”
The crowd dismounted and walked northwest with their luggage on their backs. The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the footprints on the ground were covered in only a moment, and several figures were moving slowly on the vast snow.
When it was almost dark, everyone immediately set up their tents and everyone huddled together. Eating beef jerky and drinking mare's milk wine, when it was dark, the wind suddenly increased, and the tent was blown up.
"The wind is too strong, it won't blow the tent away, right?" Ling Feng said worriedly.
"No, the current wind is not strong enough to blow the tent away, but the temperature has dropped sharply, and it must be very cold in the second half of the night, so everyone should stay close. Lei Luo said.
After the second half of the night, the temperature was very low, and everyone shivered with cold.
The next morning, when the group came out of the tent again, the snow on the ground had become hard and squeaked when stepped on. After eating some beef jerky and drinking some cold mare's milk wine, they set off. There were no wolves or people along the way, the sky was gloomy and gloomy, and in the afternoon we finally reached the banks of the Rumni River.
"The Rumni River is frozen, and we can walk across the river!" reloction.
"After crossing the Ramni River, we will walk along the banks for a while, and then we will reach Hera Snow Mountain!" Relo pointed to the white distance.
