Chapter 112: Tundra
Jiang Xin and Mun rode a silver wolf together. In order to protect Mun's identity, Jiang Xin did not choose to go down the mountain nearby, but walked directly north in the mountain.
Although the wolf's running speed is not as fast as the velociraptor, it is extremely stable, making the people on their backs almost unable to feel bumps, which reduces the fatigue a lot. In addition, Jiang Xin chose the routes near the snow line, so the few people will not feel cold or hot.
The four wolves ran for a whole day! When the sun was about to set, several people were approaching the exit of the volcanic area. Along the way, they also encountered many Ricardo patrol sentries, but Jiang Xin came out to easily settle them. After passing a roadblock, the four wolves finally arrived on the road leading to the northern ice field. Although they had completely gone down the mountain, the cold in the air was already telling everyone that it was close to the Arctic Circle.
Jiang Xin jumped out of the back of the wolf, walked to Qi Fei, nodded and said, "I don't know what to say to you, anyway, thank you."
Qi Fei waved his hand quickly and said, "You're welcome. They are all from the church. Don't forget to write a letter to your sister to report your safety when you go back. She and the Priests are worried about you."
"Well, I can! And I will work harder to practice, and strive to become a dragon priest who can stand alone and fight against the abyss!" The thick-browed tomboy said confidently, clenching his fist, and he really had the courage of a man.
"Then I wish you success. But do everything within your ability. Before being a dragon sacrifice, don't forget that there is a little sister who needs your care." After that, Qi Fei waved goodbye to Jiang Xin.
Soluo and Aqier also said goodbye to Jiang Xin respectively, and then everyone walked north along the mountain avenue and soon walked out of the volcanic group.
There was an inn not far from the mountain pass. Qi Fei entered the inn and asked, and learned that this inn was the last place in the north where humans lived for a long time. Walking north, you would enter the dwarf's territory. So they decided to stay in the inn, rest and rectify, take a hot bath, change clothes, and set off again tomorrow morning.
Aqier was so tired that her waist and legs were sore, so she didn't bother Qi Fei, but lived in the same room as the female werewolf Moon.
I don’t know if it was because I left the competitor and lost my energy or I was tired after rushing the road for a day, but in short, Soluo chose to live alone.
Suddenly no one was stuck around him and he returned to his previous single life, which made Qi Fei feel uncomfortable. However, fatigue quickly diluted the discomfort. After taking a hot bath, Qi Fei lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even eating.
The next day, all the people slept in a nap and did not leave the station until 10 a.m. and continue to move north.
Before leaving, Qi Fei bought a simple map of Zhang Bingyuan Frost Circle from the post station owner.
Although this map is not as detailed as Aqier's navigation chart, it at least indicates where the dwarfs are living in and where the unmanned danger zone for ice fairies are active. In short, as long as the map is handed over to any of Suoluo or Aqier, they can take Qi Fei to any place he wants to go.
So Qi Fei determined his destination as the base camp of the Red-faced Dwarf, "Yongdong City", and then everyone rode wolves to set off.
Qi Fei doesn't know much about geographical and climate, but he still knows some basic common sense. For example: the temperature on the Earth's Arctic can rise to around zero degrees in summer; the area near the Arctic Circle is still quite hot in summer... etc. Apart from the "greenhouse effect", the by-product of modern civilization on Earth, the Arctic will not be too cold in summer.
However, the frozen ice field in front of Qi Fei completely subverted his understanding of the Arctic.
Looking around, the empty earth in the north was covered with white space, and the air was filled with chill. Everyone raised their mouths and noses high to block their necks, and because of their exhalation, they also formed a layer of frost outside. If it was summer now, Qi Fei could not imagine what the frozen ice field in winter would look like.
Yongdong City is probably named because of the climate here? Qi Fei thought while walking.
The thick and wide claws of silver-backed wolf seem to be prepared specifically for the snow-covered terrain. They are running smoothly in the snow and ice. In less than half an hour, the station has disappeared from behind a few people, and only the tall volcanic groups can still be seen in hazy figures.
After another half an hour, the volcano disappeared, leaving only an endless frozen plain.
Qi Fei couldn't figure out what method Solo was using to determine the direction of his way, and he was too lazy to figure out these things. Instead of working on things that he might not be able to figure out for the rest of his life, it would be better to think carefully about how to convince them to take in the sub-men after seeing the dwarves.
Just as Qi Fei designed his own lines, the wolf under his crotch suddenly stopped moving forward. Qi Fei was stunned, then raised his head and found that everyone else had stopped.
At this time, Qi Fei also heard a vague jingle sound of metal vaguely coming from the front right.
"Did you hear it? Did you start a fight?" Qi Fei pulled down his collar and asked at the others.
Solo turned around and said, "It shouldn't be. Looking at the map, there is a dwarf's mining area in front of it. The sound is probably that the dwarf is mining an open-pit mine."
"Then don't worry about him, let's continue to go." Qi Fei said.
Soluo shook his head lightly and said, "To go to Yongdong City, you must pass through this mining area. There is no detailed mark on the map. If you enter a place you shouldn't go in, it will be troublesome. I heard that dwarves have many rules and bad tempers. People who do business with them often make them angry for no reason, so it's better to go over and say hello to them first."
"Well, when it comes to being furious... you often lose your temper with me for no reason. Maybe you have an unexpected relationship with those dwarves, haha!" Qi Fei joked and found that Soluo's face began to sink. He quickly stopped his smile and nodded seriously, "Then listen to you, go over and say hello to them."
Soro nodded in satisfaction, and then asked Moon to order the wolf to go in the direction where the sound came.
As the jingling sound became louder, the four people gradually saw people shaking in the distance. In addition to people, there were some vague outlines of behemoths.
When he got closer, Qi Fei first exclaimed: "Car! It's a car!!!"
The vague behemoth before was clearly visible at this time. It was a large cargo cart with a hill-like black and red coal-like stone. There was no large animal pulling in front of the car, and no thing was pushed behind it. The car could move on its own. Faced with this situation, Qi Fei could only think of one word, that is "car".
