"Brother, why did you deliberately leave so many footprints?" Zhuihu, who entered the depths of the snowfield for the first time, was a little incomprehensible to his brother's behavior. It was obvious that half-orcs like them, as long as they had a little control, would not be able to leave in the snow.
There were such deep footprints in the ground, but his brother just didn't follow common sense and even led the footprints to the wrong location.
But when he saw his brother setting up a large number of traps at carefully selected locations, Zhuihu finally understood his brother's behavior, so he quickly joined in the action of digging out the snow.
The two of them spent most of the night arranging the trap, and finally laid out a satisfactory dragnet.
Chaihu was a little excited because his brother said - these traps can catch snow wolves!
Snow wolves are white-level spiritual beasts. They are not difficult to deal with alone. Even a rookie like him can hunt them alone.
But unless they are snow wolves that have been expelled from the pack, it is difficult to encounter a lone one. When they move, they often move in groups. Without a team of ten snow walkers to surround and suppress, it is impossible to get their attention.
He had never followed his brother into the depths of the snowfield for hunting before, firstly because he was still young, and secondly because he had not yet awakened his bloodline.
Orcs who have not awakened their bloodline are just like ordinary humans. They cannot trek deep in the snowfield for a long time. Not to mention the terrifying low temperature that can freeze an ordinary person to death in an instant, and even the tornadoes that blow from time to time.
Can blow him to the sky...
Of course, the above is what his brother told him. Anyway, apart from the terrifying low temperature, he has never experienced a tornado in the snowy area so far.
His brother also said that the most terrifying thing in the deep snowfields is not the extreme weather and ferocious spiritual beasts, but the monsters hidden deep in the snow.
The monsters are not difficult to deal with when they are young. It can be said that their combat power is almost zero, so that they can only parasitize passing spiritual beasts. But once they pass the juvenile stage, no matter how powerful their parasites are, they will eventually become theirs.
Food becomes the nourishment for their growth.
The adult monster has an extremely poetic and picturesque name called "Xue Chan". However, people who have seen it do not think this name is sweet and nice. Instead, they are extremely frightened and even frightened by it.
Regarding the legend of Xuechan, there is no need for my brother to popularize it. Zhuihu has heard it almost since he was a child. When he was a child, his father often scared him, saying, 'If you don't obey, I will drive you out to feed Xuechan.' He also said, Xuechan
It is the most terrifying creature in the world, more difficult to guard against than the dragon.
At least the dragon is huge, and you can avoid it in advance if you see it from a distance, but when you encounter Xuechan, there is no way to escape except wiping your neck and waiting for death.
It is said that Xuechan has no specific body shape, and they can transform into any appearance in the world, even humans. The only way to distinguish them is their blood, which is different from humans, their blood is green and contains highly poisonous substances.
Of course, the reason why Xuechan is feared is not because of their high combat power, but because they can weave illusions. Even high-level Xuechan can make the contents of the illusion come true, which is very scary.
The extreme environment of the snowy area makes your scalp numb.
The reason Zhuihu thought of Xuechan was because his brother caught several Xuechan cubs when he was digging traps. It was the first time Zhuihu had seen those cubs. They were slippery and had a mouth full of them.
The fangs are very tough and delicious at first glance.
In order to facilitate parasitism, Xue Chan's cubs are non-toxic and even secrete mucus in their bodies that promotes the absorption of spiritual energy. They are excellent spiritual food ingredients and are also a favorite elixir material for pharmacists.
In short, the price was very suitable when sold in a human town! This was so suitable that even when his brother saw his salivating expression and offered it to him to signal him to eat, he seriously rejected it.
If he chases the tiger, he will never drag his brother down or become a burden to his brother!
It is not easy for the snowwalkers living in Yunjianxue to go to the depths of the snowy area. Not only do they have to prepare a large amount of spiritual food and medicine, but they also have to work non-stop for several days to make arrows. The spiritual beasts in the snowy area are not as rough as outside.
Not to mention their thick flesh, ordinary arrows cannot penetrate their steel-like bodies.
They half-orcs are not rich to begin with. If they choose to consume the spiritual things they harvest, they will have no supplies to enter the depths of the snowy areas next time. Without a source of income deep in the snowy areas, it means that their strength cannot
If we go one step further, if we continue like this, we will be eliminated by Yunjianxue sooner or later.
As a true snow walker, how could he not understand this common sense?
…
Seeing the footprints disappear, the fairy thought she had finally found the human being, but no, what appeared in front of her was not her kind, but a group of pure white wolves that almost blended into the snowy scene.
The fairy couldn't see how many wolves there were at all. Forest-green wolf eyes were scattered everywhere in the small snow-capped mountains.
Hearing the noise, they twisted their necks and looked towards the fairy. Being stared at by so many pairs of cold eyes at the same time, the fairy seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and the blood in the whole body could not stop the reverse flow.
, a stream of cold air rushed into his head along his legs that were stuck in the snow, and finally submerged into Tianling Gai.
The fairy chose to escape without any hesitation.
She knew that she couldn't outrun these four-legged wolves. Whether it was the soft snow that would sink under her feet or the wolf's innate talent for running, she had no chance of escaping.
But she doesn't want to die!
The fairy spirit ran and crawled forward with all her strength. She only hated why the soft snow was not flat, allowing her to walk as fast as Superman.
There is no doubt that the wolves immediately chased her. They were not affected by the soft snow at all, and their rapid movements were desperate. The fairy thought she was dead, but something unexpected happened to her.
!
I saw a few wolves running at the front stepping on something, and then they were all bounced away with a "bang". The next second, countless arrows were sprayed out from the snow, and then they shot out with incomparable precision.
Shot on the head of the wolf flying in the air.
Blood flowers splashed out like blooming fireworks, and were instantly frozen into ice flowers by the terrifying low temperature. Several stiff wolf corpses fell on the snow, and then slowly sank into the snow.
The fairy heard a scream coming from behind, and turned around to see this scene.
‘Is there a trap?’ The fairy immediately realized that he had been fooled. The footprints were deliberately left by the human! The purpose was to lead her here to become a bait for the wolf, so that he could make a profit!
Thinking of this, the fairy clenched her back teeth. What a good trick! No wonder the human obviously saved her, but still kept her in the snow. He also deliberately threw an arrow nearby and left such heavy footprints.
Deep, as if he was afraid that she wouldn’t chase him!
How careless! I didn’t expect humans in this world to be so scheming!
…
Even in the snowy night, even if there is no wind or snow, the terrifying low temperature can still make the orcs with extremely high cold resistance almost freeze. Zhui Lang and Zhui Hu braved the cold, set up all the traps, and left far away.
Arrived at Snow Mountain Col.
It's not that they don't want to wait for prey, but the noses of snow wolves are particularly sensitive. If they smell the breath of a living person, they will simply not be attracted by the bait and will pounce directly towards their hiding place.
So they chose the back side of the mountain from a distance. Firstly, when they heard the noise, they could quickly climb up the snowy mountain to occupy the commanding heights; secondly, the snowy mountain was conducive to them drawing bows and shooting arrows.
Snow wolves are not very fast. Chasing Wolf is confident that he can kill them before they climb up the snow-capped mountains. He has hunted wolves alone in this place many times without ever missing a beat.
Zhuihu couldn't see that his brother was confident, so he was very worried, "Brother, what if there are too many of them and our trap can't trap them at all?"
"Then shoot them through their heads one by one with the arrows in your hand." Chai Lang was always taciturn, and he was not very good at comforting his worried brother. On the way back, he was always looking around vigilantly.
Hearing his brother's words, Zhuihu unconsciously glanced at the bow hanging on his waist. This bow was an awakening gift from his brother. I heard that he specifically asked the only blacksmith in the village to make it. It cost a lot of money.
Small price.
Zhuihu couldn't imagine his brother's paralyzed look begging for help, so the moment he got the bow, he couldn't wait to go hunting deep in the snow with his brother.
But... when he shot the White Eagle during the day, he almost killed his brother because of his mistake, and he began to feel unconfident about himself.
"It's about to start cooling down." Zhui Lang said suddenly, staring at the moon above his head that was gradually disappearing into the clouds.
"It's still going to fall?" Zhuihu, who had spent the night deep in the snow for the first time, felt incredible. The current temperature was almost freezing his ears. He really couldn't imagine how low the temperature could reach.
"When you go back, remember to put rosin on your body." Zhui Lang reminded.
"Ah?" Zhuihu instantly made a bitter look on his face. There's nothing wrong with wiping the house with that thing, but if it's applied to the body... can you imagine the feeling of having a layer of hot oil smeared on the body? It's like a barbecue, it can be comfortable.
Where to go?
The feeling of chasing a tiger or a wolf is not incomprehensible, but there is no way around it. No animal's fur can withstand the low temperature in the depths of the snow, unless it is the fur of some fire-attributed spiritual animals.
However, most of the fire-attributed spirit beasts live in the middle volcano, and Yunjianxue can't find one at all. There are some old hunters in the village who still have some in their collection, but they don't have enough for their own use, and they won't sell them anyway.
of.
So in order to keep out the cold, Chase Wolf would bring some resin from the snow pine with him every time he entered the depths of the snow.
The rosin smeared on the body is a bit uncomfortable, but it will not freeze into an ice sculpture; and when you spend the night, apply a thick layer in the igloo that you have piled up, and it can also lock in the temperature and isolate the cold air.
Make the igloo stronger.
When applying rosin, Zhuihu discovered that he had lost an arrow. The arrowhead was polished with green-level spirit animal bones, and then coated with a layer of silver milk that could keep the poisonous gas from dissipating for a long time.
His brother worked for several days, but only made more than 20 pieces, which were very precious. This discovery made Zhuihu momentarily ignore the pain that felt like being burned by fire because of the pine resin applied to his body, and he shuddered.
He sat up straight.
"What's wrong?" Zhui Lang, who was wiping his swords, cast a questioning look at Zhui Hu.
"Brother, the arrow is lost..." Zhuihu looked at his brother indifferently.
"Where did you lose it?" Compared with chasing the tiger, chasing the wolf was much calmer.
Zhuihu tried his best to recall, "It should have been accidentally dropped when I was throwing away the female body..."
Chasing the Wolf:......
When Zhui Lang was about to say something to criticize Zhui Hu, the anxious sound of reindeer suddenly came from outside the igloo. The reindeer that grew up with Zhui Lang was not an ordinary reindeer, but a green-level spiritual beast.
Not only can it come and go freely in the snowy area, it is also very psychic. Unless it is an emergency, it will not make such a sound.
When Chasing Wolf and Chasing Tiger heard the reindeer's warning, they became energetic at the same time.
"Brother, there's something going on!"
Chasing Wolf nodded. He walked out of the igloo and listened carefully. After a while, his expression changed and he said, "Some prey has taken the bait!" He turned around and told Chasing Tiger, "Take your bow and arrows and prepare to fight." He patted the restless reindeer next to him, "
Man, please guard your things here and make sure they don't get stolen."
There are many thieves deep in the snow.
Chasing Wolf and Chasing Tiger took their bows and arrows and weapons, and did not care about the harvest stored in the igloo. Obviously hunting snow wolves is more important. After all, snow wolves are not encountered every time. If you can encounter them once, sell them.
It would be enough to feed his family for a year.
The snow-capped mountains were steep and slippery, and it was difficult to climb quickly with a human body. Chase Wolf had to transform part of his body into a beast. Seeing that his brother was still jumping up with all his strength, Chase Wolf threw him away.
On the back, "Hold on!"
"Brother, when were you able to transform into a beast?" Feeling the lightning-like speed beneath him, Zhuihu was stunned. You must know that none of the orcs in their village can completely transform into a beast!
Zhui Lang thought for a while, "It's been a long time, and the head still cannot be transformed into a beast."
Zhuihu took a look, and sure enough, although he felt sorry for his brother, he had to complain in his heart that the upper body of the huge, graceful blue ice deer was actually a human being, which was really eye-catching.
After transforming into beasts, the half-orcs were many times faster than humans. In a short time, they chased the wolf and carried their younger brother to the top of the snowy mountaintop.
The cold wind at the top of the snow mountain was much stronger than at the foot of the mountain. Zhuihu felt that the fur he was wearing had been blown stiff, and even the thin layer of pine resin on his skin was stained with a layer of frost.
He was sitting on Chasing Wolf's back, and the cold wind blew his hair around. He glanced down the mountain, and suddenly pointed in the distance in shock, his surprised voice breaking, "Brother, you
Look, it’s the female corpse, she’s not dead!”
Chai Lang lowered his head and took a look, wasn't it? The figure that was almost sunken into the snow was the female corpse that was clearly lifeless, wasn't it?
…
The trap created by humans was very careful, and a total of three waves of wolves had been caught in it. Seeing this, the remaining wolves became more cautious in their actions. Even so, they were not slow in pursuing the fairies.
The fairy didn't know where the trap set by humans would be. She was afraid that she would accidentally step on it and was frightened along the way. Therefore, her movements were much slower than expected.
She heard the cold wind blowing past her ears, and snowflakes were blown up and fell into her eyes. She could not feel any coldness from the outside world. Her body seemed to be covered with a protective mechanism.
, isolated from this world.
But she was still very cold. This coldness came from the bottom of her heart. Her hairs stood up involuntarily, and tiny goosebumps spread all over her exposed skin.
Suddenly she heard a sound piercing the air behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw a giant snow-white wolf leaping high, and then rushed towards her. The height of the leap was even shocking
An illusion that it is not jumping, but flying.
The next second, the fairy's vision went dark, and she was thrown down in the snow by the snow wolf. The weight of the snow wolf made the fairy's throat so sweet that she almost spurted out blood. She held on tightly to the arrow in her hand.
I tried to lift the arrow, but as soon as I raised it, it was stepped into deeper snow.
The strong fear and the unbearable weight of the body made the fairy almost breathless. Her brain was stimulated several times due to the successive bad encounters, so she seemed particularly stupid. She didn't know that she was frightened.
Whatever happened, the whole person was blank.
The giant wolf's saliva wetted the fairy's face, and the hot breath it exhaled was smelly and hot. The fairy stared at its open mouth without blinking, and its sharp teeth were particularly shining under the moonlight.
Sen Bai had no doubt that he didn't need to use any force when chewing her bones.
However, just when the fairy was panting, unwilling and fearful, and had to accept her fate, an arrow suddenly shot through the air without warning, and then struck fiercely in her widened frightened eyes.
The head of the snow wolf was inserted.
The strong wind caused by the arrow knocked over the fairy's bangs, and she heard a soft "pop" sound, and warm blood instantly splashed across her face.
There is no one-hit kill scene in novels and movies. After being attacked, the giant wolf's eyes suddenly turned blood red. She stared back with bloodshot eyes full of hatred. It seemed to have seen something, and then let out a violent sound.
The earth-shattering howl.
The fairy felt that her eardrums were being attacked, and the seeds in her head were buzzing. She could no longer hear any sounds, only long roars coming from her head.
"Brother, why can't this wolf be beaten to death?" Unlike the fairies who are struggling in embarrassment on the line of life and death, unscrupulous people in a safe zone can always observe more meticulously. All wolves are under the arrows of chasing wolves.
It is a one-hit kill. Only this wolf, even if it is hit by an arrow in the head, can still roar and turn around to provoke.
Chai Lang changed into a quiver. This quiver was obviously much more precious than the previous one. Not only was it sealed, but it also contained only a few dozen arrows.
He counted one out of the new quiver, and then placed the silver-white arrow on the string. His eyes were fixed on the head of the giant wolf, and his navy blue eyes seemed a little cold and ruthless because they were too focused.
——"Whoosh", another arrow shot out, hitting Snow Wolf's eye, white mixed with red liquid splashed out, and Snow Wolf's huge figure finally collapsed with a bang.
Killing the giant wolf with one arrow, the chasing wolf turned back and said to his brother: "This wolf is the leader of the snow wolf, a green-level spiritual beast, called Feixue." He had encountered it many times in the depths of the snowfield before, but
Every time it cunningly escaped, but he didn't expect that it was so eager to hunt today that he actually caught him.
…
Fairy Spirit felt the pressure on her body loosen, and a large amount of fresh air flowed through her nose and into her internal organs. She gasped for air.
She turned her head stiffly for a long time, because her mind was still blank, and her vision had no focus for a long time. She seemed to see a centaur holding a long bow under the moonlight on the top of the snow mountain, calmly shooting at the wolves.
The howl of the wolf almost shook the entire snowy area, and there were figures running around everywhere. The strong smell of blood seemed to be frozen by the cold air just as it rose. The fairy's eyes slowly turned.
She saw the giant wolf that almost sent her to the west. At this moment, its body was lying next to it, half of it had sunk into the snow, and half of it was exposed in the air.
There were two arrows stuck in its head, one was buried in the head, and the other was shaking tremblingly in the left eye; blood mixed with brain fluid and eyeball fragments flowed everywhere, maybe they were too big
It was too hot, so it was steaming, and then quickly condensed into ice.
"vomit" The fairy finally couldn't control his churning stomach and vomited it out.
The heroine will be relatively miserable in the early stages, and then she will become weaker. She will gradually become stronger, so don't worry.
