Chapter 1, Entering a foreign world for the first time
The wind hurt her face like a knife, and her long hair covered with ice seemed to be blown to the sky by the wind. The fairy shivered and hugged her thin body, a little confused.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment. All she could see was a vast expanse of white. Not to mention buildings, there weren't even any green plants. Looking around, there was nothing but snow in the whole world.
It was clear that the last second was spring when all things revived, and she was still on her way to the provincial capital. How could she open her eyes and end up here?
Could it be that he fell asleep in the car and was dreaming?
But the cold wind penetrated the thin coat, and the pain stung on the body was real, not like a dream at all!
Could it be that this bus took her from a city with spring-like weather all year round to Antarctica?
She didn't believe in evil, so she stretched out her trembling hands, which were red from the cold, and pinched her face hard. However, it was too cold, and it was like pinching pig skin. Not to mention pain, she didn't even feel the touch.
To be precise, except for the cold, all other senses were disabled.
She couldn't even feel the blood flowing in her body, and her whole body seemed to be frozen by a layer of cold from the inside out.
Having lived in the south since she was a child, she had never experienced such low temperatures, and she began to feel panicked. She tried to breathe into the palm of her hand, but the hot air instantly condensed into ice as soon as she exhaled.
She stared at the thin layer of ice on her palms in disbelief, and the string of reason in her mind finally broke.
I wiped a handful of snowflakes from my eyes. Is this a prank? Aren’t the plots in many movies sending people into adversity and watching them struggle to survive as a gimmick to attract the audience?
She searched around, trying to find the camera hidden in the dark, but there was nothing around but white snow.
There are no mountains, rivers, or high-rise buildings. There is only endless snow as far as the eye can see. This scene is even scarier than the Antarctic snowfield in the documentary.
At least you can still see snow wolves, penguins, fur seals... and other polar animals in Antarctica, but here, she is alone in the vast world.
"Is anyone here?" The fairy shouted loudly, but as soon as his voice broke out of his throat, it was cut into pieces by the cold wind that swept over him.
The moment she opened her mouth, ice formed on her lips, and she began to tremble wildly and uncontrollably.
Cold, so cold! The cold wind seemed to be holding a razor blade, like a fatal reminder, blowing her body into purple in a short time.
Under the extreme cold, she didn't even dare to move, let alone leave this damn place. She had the feeling that if she took one step, her frozen body would shatter into pieces.
No! If you continue like this, you will freeze to death sooner or later! The fairy has a strong desire to survive and has to try to open its frozen legs. But the next second, the body loses balance, plops, and falls in the snow.
The snow was extra soft because no one had stepped on it. When she fell down, half of her body was buried in it. Although she wanted to get up, her body seemed to have lost contact with her brain, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move it any further.
What kind of cold is it? It can quickly freeze a person into a popsicle that cannot walk in less than a minute?
Unparalleled panic surrounded her, and she realized that this was not a prank. No one would be so bad as to make fun of other people's lives, so... the only explanation can only be that she traveled through time?
Thinking of this, her panic finally turned into despair. She never thought that such a bizarre thing as 'time travel' would actually happen to her. It was obvious that her life was gradually getting better.
Thinking of the peaceful life she had put in so much effort, she felt extremely unwilling. This unwillingness eventually turned into anger, and rushed into her head with a roar.
However, before she could do anything, a high-pitched chirping sound was heard in the distance.
She tried hard to raise her stiff head, and when she finally saw the creature clearly, the heat in her body spurred by anger was extinguished as if she had encountered a basin of cold water.
She saw a huge flying creature, like a small plane, swooping towards her with a roar.
As the thumping hurricane approached, the surrounding snowflakes were instantly blown away. A shadow covered the sky, and nothing could be seen or heard. Only a pair of cold golden-brown vertical pupils were reflected in the dilated pupils.
.
The next second, she was pushed deeper into the snow by a pair of sharp claws.
…
The entire north of Jiuli is the place with the lowest temperature in the wilderness, and some special places even reach the terrifying minus 100 degrees Celsius. Because snowflakes persist all year round and the altitude of the snow-capped mountains is extremely high, this place is called Yun.
Between snow.
Looking down from the sky, the endless snowfields are connected to the endless snow-capped mountains, covering thousands of miles in radius, with almost no sign of human existence.
In fact, some relatively cold-resistant races, such as the Snow Wolf Clan and the Bear Clan, are not unable to survive here. The most direct reason for the extinction of the population here is because there is an ice dragon living here who is said to have practiced for thousands of years.
I heard some old hunters say: The dragon usually loves to patrol its own territory. If you break in without permission and happen to encounter it "shopping", the consequences will be needless to say. It can range from being eaten alive on the spot to the worst.
Yes - being captured and used as a toy, unable to survive or die.
Therefore, Yunjianxue is also known as one of the ten most dangerous places in the wilderness. Generally, no human being will set foot there easily unless necessary.
However, nothing is absolute.
Due to its special landform, Yunjianxue breeds the rare Jiarong grass and Snow Ganoderma; even the coldest center is rich in jade and jade that can be used to make spiritual weapons.
Sake makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts.
This directly resulted in that, even though they knew there would be life-threatening danger, there was still a group of orcs stationed near Yunjianxue all year round who made a living by "gathering medicine, logging, and mining."
Half-orcs are the product of the union of humans and spiritual beasts, but as generations pass by, the bloodline has become so thin that they can no longer even maintain the ability to transform.
Even so, it does not affect the fact that their bodies are stronger than weak humans. Being strong means that they are more adaptable to this extreme environment than humans.
Over time, markets and villages composed of orcs naturally formed in the depths of the snowfield.
Whether the village is prosperous or not, no human has yet tried to cross the vast snowy sea to see it. Firstly, human beings' weak bodies are really not suitable for walking in this kind of ice and snow; secondly, it is rumored that half-orcs are more or less affected by the fall of the beast god.
The influence of bad temper is a trivial matter, and some may even lose their minds and kill people indiscriminately.
For all humans in the wilderness, it is obvious that half-orcs are not welcome.
The orcs, who were not loved by humans, were expelled as a matter of course. Without the protection of the city, they finally chose Yunjianxue in order to survive. They called themselves Snow Walkers.
Chai Lang is the best among snow walkers. Except for some areas where ice dragons often hang out, he knows everything in the snowy area. Under the instruction of his father, today he will take his younger brother who is learning hunting to the snowy area.
deep.
Of course, teaching my younger brother to hunt was just incidental. The main purpose was to store enough snow spirit rosin before the cold winter came.
Xueling pine is a specialty of the deep snowy areas and can be seen everywhere. Its sap is processed and applied to the house, which can have a very good thermal insulation effect. It is an indispensable winter preparation for snowwalkers who live in Yunjianxue every winter.
Holy product.
In the past, Chasing the Wolf did this job alone, but this year he brought along a lively and active guy.
"Brother, look, there seems to be movement ahead!" The chasing tiger sitting on the reindeer stretched his head and looked into the distance.
Chai Lang felt very helpless. This was the fifth time his brother had said this. "Isn't it normal for there to be movement in the wild? Come down quickly and help me get my things." Chai Lang scolded his brother.
"I'll go take a look!" The eleven or twelve-year-old boy was at the age where he could confuse ghosts and lose monkeys. He was not afraid of his elder brother's tiger face, so he jumped off the reindeer and ran away with a playful smile.
It was difficult for the chasing wolf to chase the frightened deer, so he had to watch the monkey's back go away. After a while, the ecstatic voice of the chasing tiger came from behind the snow hill in front: "Brother! It's a white-feathered eagle!!!"
Chase Wolf's eyes paused for a moment, then he casually hung the toolbox on the reindeer's back and said, "Man, wait for me here, I'll go take a look ahead."
He raised his legs and walked in the direction of his younger brother. As he chased the wolf, he thought: I don't know how that kid ran, but he climbed over the snow hill so quickly.
When he was asked to work, he would always complain that he felt uncomfortable here and that he felt uncomfortable there, but the speed of running on the snow was obviously faster than his own.
Chase Wolf has the blood of Frost Deer in his body, which makes him very good at running in the snow.
After a while, an extremely bizarre scene appeared in front of Chai Lang's eyes.
It's weird because there are still humans in the depths of this snowfield, and what's even more weird is that this human being is so outrageous that he actually comes to hunt eagles with his bare hands while wearing such strange thin clothes.
Zhui Lang frowned deeply as he looked at the human being, who was tightly pressed under the claws of the white feathered eagle. He didn't know whether he was a man or a woman, dead or alive.
Perhaps, he came not to hunt eagles, but to commit suicide.
…
It is said that when people face danger, their infinite potential will burst out. This sentence is not true at all. When being pressed into the snow by a pair of iron claws, the fairy was stunned.
But she quickly reacted, and regardless of the situation, she grabbed a handful of snow and sprinkled it into the giant bird's eyes.
"Gah..." The giant bird screamed and shook its head. Taking advantage of this moment, the fairy rolled on the spot and cleverly escaped from its control.
Of course, the above was just her imagination. The real situation was that her whole body was cold and she could only barely lift one finger.
She watched helplessly as the hook-like beak of the eagle pecked straight at her face.
This terrifying scene made the fairy's eyes split open, and he burst out of strength from nowhere, breaking free from the rigid restraints and firmly protecting his head with his hands.
The iron mouth with the hook penetrated her arm hard, and a burst of pain came, and she couldn't help but scream.
The giant bird succeeded with one peck, and took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and pecked the fairy a few more times. The extreme cold, coupled with the pain of broken bones, caused her eyes to turn black and white.
His eyes began to wander.
[Warning! The system has detected that the host’s life has dropped to 10%, and has automatically opened a 24-hour novice protection period for you. During this period, the host’s fatal negative status will be completely cleared]
At the moment of life and death, a long string of cold electronic sounds sounded in my mind at an inappropriate time.
The fairy could no longer hear what the murmuring voice said. As the eagle pecked her down one by one, waves of heart-piercing pain hit her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
…
"Brother, that human seems to be dead." Behind the snow hill, Zhuihu drew his bow and kept aiming, saying in a very low voice.
"Do it." Chase Wolf stared closely at the white-feathered eagle that was pecking at human corpses, his eyes very calm.
Chaihu quickly drew his bow, which had been ready to go, and at the same time Chailang also took aim.
"call out--"
"call out--"
Two arrows flew towards the White Eagle at the same time, and the strong wind brought up the snow on the ground.
However, the seemingly menacing arrow turned out to be unsatisfactory.
The arrow chasing the tiger missed, alarming the white-feathered eagle, and the arrow chasing the wolf only hit its back.
"Gah——" The white-feathered eagle stopped eating in pain, and turned its head suddenly. Its cold eyes were locked on the hiding place of the two of them.
Zhuihu was stared at by the white-feathered eagle with a real look that made his scalp numb. His hand that pulled the bow couldn't help but tremble, and a crooked arrow shot out.
This obviously angered the white-feathered eagle. It opened its mouth and spit out a wind blade. At the same time, it spread its two-meter-long wings and galloped towards them.
"Be careful!" Zhui Lang hugged his brother and rolled on the spot.
"Brother." Zhuihu murmured, his face full of fear.
"Don't panic!" Zhui Lang decisively threw away the cumbersome longbow in his hand, and calmly drew out the double knives tied to his legs.
The white-feathered eagle was already very close to them, and its indestructible iron claws were grabbing at their faces.
Chasing the wolf refused to dodge, he raised his two swords with a fierce look on his face, and then stabbed the white eagle's eyes fiercely under the confused gaze of the chasing wolf.
"Gah——!!!" Blood spurted out and wet Chasing Wolf's face, and the white-feathered eagle screamed, as if the scream could pierce the eardrum.
Zhuihu couldn't resist the power of the sound wave and spat out a mouthful of blood. The white-feathered eagle was still alive and started attacking the two of them like crazy.
The chasing tiger fled in panic, but the chasing wolf grabbed the bow on the ground and calmly ordered: "It can't see it, go and lure it away."
Zhuihu trembled in fear and shook his head violently: "Brother, I can't do it, I'm afraid."
Chai Lang looked at his trembling brother calmly, without any urging words. But the young man couldn't stand the attack of his eyes, so he had to grit his teeth and agreed.
He shouted like he was dying: "Come after me!!!" and then ran away.
"Gah!" As expected, the white-feathered eagle with bleeding eyes flapped its wings and chased him.
Chai Lang held the bow and arrow and calmly drew the string. The arrow shot through the air. When the white-feathered eagle heard the movement, he turned around with a feeling, but what greeted him was a ruthless arrow.
The white-feathered eagle was shot through the head by an arrow. Zhuihu fell into the snow panting, wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his head: "It scared me to death! It scared me to death! I thought I was dead.
,Brother, you were so awesome just now!"
After surviving the disaster, his admiration for his elder brother reached its peak at this moment.
However, he quickly reacted, "Brother, how did you kill it? Wouldn't it be better to capture it alive?"
"I didn't bring the trap." Chasing Wolf's voice was cold, and he felt very regretful.
Chaihu:……
Well, who knew that we would encounter a white-feathered eagle when we went out today? That is the best among green-level spiritual beasts! But... a white-feathered eagle worth a thousand jade!!! Just left them,
Chaihu's heart seemed to be bleeding.
Zhui Lang did not look at his brother's loss. Instead, he walked towards Bai Ling Diao's body with a calm face and said by the way: "Go and see if the human is still alive. I will collect the materials."
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this." Zhuihu slapped his head and ran towards the fairy's "corpse" in a hurry.
Chai Lang took out the tools from his backpack and skillfully dug out the muscles and bones of the white-feathered eagle.
White-feathered eagles are rare in number and are rarely seen in normal times. Its hair can be made into exquisite fan feathers, which are very good as weapons. It is a luxury product that the ladies of the clan flock to. Its internal organs are indispensable for spiritual food.
Raw materials can be sold at a good price.
Zhui Lang was picking carefully when his younger brother's voice came from the distance: "Brother, it's a woman!"
Chai Lang paused in his picking movements and was about to stand up.
"Brother, I'm out of breath!" Then his brother's annoying voice came over again.
Chai Lang took a deep breath and continued to pick.
"Brother, she's dead!"
Chasing the Wolf:......
He calmly put the materials into the clay pot, and the restless brother had already dragged the body and ran towards him groaning.
Chai Lang immediately frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Brother, look quickly and see if she is out of breath." Zhuihu looked at him eagerly.
Zhui Lang stretched out his hand to detect the fairy's breath, and then touched her blood-stained hand. There was no pulse or anything on the broken bones, "She's out of breath."
Zhuihu licked his lips that were chapped by the cold, and said with regret on his face: "What a pity, if I had known she was a woman just now, I would have saved her."
Chasing the Wolf:......
"How old were you before you realized you wanted women?"
Zhuihu muttered: "There are really too few women. We can't get in touch with them at all. Isn't this just a thought..."
Chai Lang was silent. His younger brother was right. Since the death of the beast god, the spirit beasts that were once friendly with humans have become increasingly violent. At best, they find inaccessible places to survive barbarically, and at worse, they hunt humans.
For fun.
Nowadays, not only are there fewer women in the human race, but many famous spiritual beings have also fallen. After she gave birth to him and his younger brother, Chasing Wolf’s mother was bitten to death by the spiritual beasts that had been raised at home.
Their father was so depressed that he regretted every day why he didn't send his mother to the big clan so that her mother would not die.
Yes, that's right, now only the big clans have women, because they worship the God of Xi, who gave them breath soil. They have the strongest city in the world, and even thousand-year-old spiritual beasts cannot hurt them at all.
In this case, they naturally possess the most precious resources in the world.
It is a pity that the nobles of the clan who were supposed to shoulder the important task of saving the common people did not behave themselves after gaining the power of Xirang.
They began to eliminate dissidents. Half-orcs like him and his brother were the key targets of suppression by the clans. Not only were he and his clansmen forced to live on the edge, they were also stigmatized for awakening their bestial nature.
The beastly nature has awakened! In the eyes of the world, these snow walkers are probably as scary as the crazy spiritual beasts.
If it weren't for the high-minded pharmacists and blacksmiths who were still thinking about bringing out spiritual objects from the snowy areas, they would have been driven to extinction by now.
Zhuihu didn't even notice that his brother was out of sorts and was still chattering, "Brother, don't you want to?"
"Brother, I heard that Dashi's mother was sent to the clan a long time ago. His father secretly visited her mother last month and never came back...Brother, do you think Dashi's father was accepted by the clan?
Zhuihu shook his head quickly, glanced at his elder brother's face cautiously, and replied inconsistently, "What's there to envy? Those clan members treat us like animals. I don't want to live in a clan."
Chai Lang was noncommittal. He didn't think Dashi's father was accepted by the clan, but he didn't want to tell his younger brother these cruel truths.
