The cave is not very deep, and it is estimated that it extends in less than one meter. Through the reflection of the ice, Ye Tian can clearly see that the ferret who fought with the strange snake earlier has died inside, and the strange snake has died inside.
His teeth were still biting on its hind legs.
The teeth of the strange snake must be highly venomous, because the ferret's originally silver-white fur had now turned black, and it also exuded a faint fishy smell.
In addition to the mink and the snake that perished together, there were also two little guys that were a little smaller than the cubs in their pockets. However, they had lost their mother's body temperature and had frozen to death inside.
Perhaps this little guy's body had to be stronger to survive in the end, but if he hadn't encountered Ye Tian, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of death.
The smooth ice wall was difficult to rely on, and it was very difficult for Ye Tian to step on it. After taking another look into the hole, he was about to slide down, but a little white luster in the hole stopped his movements.
"What is this? Snow lotus?!"
Reaching out to push aside the body of the mink snake, Ye Tian discovered that there were actually two snow lotuses hidden in the innermost part of the cave.
Different from the snow lotuses that Ye Tian saw while mountaineering, these two snow lotuses are about the size of a palm, and their spread petals are as crystal clear as jade. Even the fishy smell emitted by the ferret carcass cannot cover up the smell.
Light fragrance.
Ye Tian pushed hard at the cave with his left hand, and reached into the cave with his right hand like lightning. He took out three snow lotus flowers, turned his body, and slid to the ground with his butt facing the ice wall.
"This thing is a rarity..."
After standing on the ground, Ye Tian looked at the snow lotus in his hand. He once heard his master say that the petals of snow lotus that are more than a hundred years old are thick and the juice is fleshy, while the snow lotus that is more than a thousand years old is as bright as jade and white and flawless.
From the description of the old man, Ye Tian can be sure that the two snow lotuses are at least a thousand years old. Even in the Tianshan Mountains, snow lotuses of this age are extremely rare.
"Chiji...jiji..."
Just when Ye Tian was looking at the snow lotus in his hand, the cry of the ferret cub came from his chest. The little guy stretched out his head and stared at the snow lotus in Ye Tian's palm.
"Do you want to eat this?" Hearing the cry of the little ferret, Ye Tian laughed, reached out and broke off a snow lotus petal, and brought it to the young ferret's mouth. The little guy immediately opened his mouth and bit it.
It's just that I don't know if the petals are too thick or the young mink's teeth haven't grown yet, so it couldn't bite it, and it suddenly started chirping anxiously.
"No wonder those two little guys were frozen to death. I bet they can't bite this thing?"
After seeing the young mink's behavior, Ye Tian understood in his heart that the snow lotus has the effect of replenishing qi and blood. It stands to reason that guarding these two snow lotus, the young mink in the cave cannot starve to death. It seems that the root cause is
here.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian stretched out his hand and tore open the petals of the snow lotus. Different from ordinary snow lotuses, these petals contained rich juice. As soon as they were torn apart, they flowed down Ye Tian's hand.
"Jiji!"
Smelling the fragrance of the juice, the little guy actually got out of Ye Tian's pocket, hugged one of Ye Tian's fingers with four little paws, and sucked on it. After taking all the juice into his stomach, he was still not satisfied.
Licking Ye Tian's fingers with his tongue.
"Eat it all!"
Seeing the little guy's innocent look, Ye Tian's depression of being trapped in the ice was relieved a bit. He brought the torn petal to the little mink's mouth. After the juice was absorbed, Ye Tian returned.
Tear the leaf flesh into pieces and feed it to the little guy.
After eating and drinking enough, the little thing started to feel sleepy. He stretched out his front paws to grab Ye Tian's clothes and tried to climb up. It seemed that he had regarded Ye Tian's pocket as his new home.
"Haha, go to sleep..."
Ye Tian gently grabbed the young mink and put it back into his pocket. The little thing stuck out its tongue and licked Ye Tian's fingers, as if to express his gratitude.
"With this thing, I won't be afraid of freezing to death..." After settling the young mink, Ye Tian focused on the three snow lotuses.
An old Taoist once said that old snow lotus can drive away cold and avoid shade, and has the effect of aphrodisiac and blood replenishment, which is also very beneficial to his injuries.
From noon to now, Ye Tian has not eaten for more than ten hours. Smelling the faint fragrance, Ye Tian couldn't help but move his index finger, stretched out his hand to tear off a leaf, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Damn, it's so hard?!"
I originally thought that the fragrant snow lotus should taste extremely sweet, but as soon as the taste buds on the tongue came into contact with the juice, Ye Tian immediately frowned, chewed faster, and divided the leaves into pieces.
Swallowed the stomach.
"I don't feel it. Is this Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?" After eating a leaf, Ye Tian felt inside his body and found nothing unusual.
"Forget it, just think of it as filling your stomach!" Listening to the "gurgling" sound coming from his stomach, Ye Tian didn't care about the bitter taste anymore, tore off all the leaves of a snow lotus flower, and put it in his mouth.
Reese goes.
After finishing one snowdrop, Ye Tian's eyes turned to another one. Although this thing was not small, it was juicy, and the hunger in his stomach was not relieved much.
After thinking for a while, Ye Tian tore off two leaves, stuffed the rest into his mouth, and swallowed it like a cow chewing a peony.
"Huh? It seems to be working!"
Just after the second snow lotus was eaten, Ye Tian suddenly felt that his lower abdomen was getting hot, and the vitality he had cultivated for many years was about to stir. He was so happy that he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground.
As the Ye Tian Kung Fu moves, the hot gas in the lower abdomen rushes to the body, limbs and bones. Wherever it passes, the coldness in the body's meridians is driven away.
Back then, Ye Tian changed his life for an old Taoist, but suffered the backlash from evil spirits from heaven and earth. A lot of evil spirits seeped into his meridians and lurked, destroying his body functions. Due to his lack of skill, Ye Tian was powerless against this situation.
.
But at this time, the hot air formed by the snow lotus pulsed from everywhere like a torrent, not only clearing out all the evil spirits, but also opening up the blocked meridians in his body one by one, which was equivalent to giving Ye Tianfa
The hair and marrow were washed once.
The heat formed by the snow lotus was wandering in his body, and the cold air around him had no effect on him. Ye Tian didn't know how much time passed, but he was finally awakened by the "chichichi" cry of the young mink.
Ye Tian woke up from trance and was in a good mood. He could feel that the injuries in his body seemed to have almost recovered. The meridians that were blocked in the movement of vitality in the past could now pass smoothly. There seemed to be endless bursts of strength in his body.
"My dear, sixteen hours have passed exactly?"
It was already dawning above his head. Ye Tian looked at his watch and found that it was already the afternoon of the next day. Before he knew it, more than ten hours had passed.
"Little guy, are you hungry?" Looking at the young ferret sticking its furry little head out of his pocket, Ye Tian laughed, took out the remaining snow lotus petal, tore it into pieces and fed it to the little guy.
"You guys are just a foodie?!"
Maybe the effect of snow lotus was too strong, and the little guy felt dizzy and sleepy as soon as he finished eating it. This made Ye Tian, who originally wanted to tease the little thing, a little depressed, so he had no choice but to put it back in his pocket.
"Try to see if you can climb up!"
The recovery of hidden injuries in the body greatly increased Ye Tian's confidence. Although he felt that someone should go up the mountain to search and rescue him, instead of waiting for others to come, it was better to save himself first.
"Ka... ka ka!" Just when Ye Tian was holding Wuhen and preparing to dig into the ice wall, the sound of feet stepping on the snow suddenly came from above his head, and Ye Tian suddenly became ecstatic.
"Is there anyone up there? I'm down there. Is there anyone there? Help me!"
Having seen the power of the avalanche, Ye Tian did not dare to shout loudly and called out in a deep voice. At the same time, he turned Wuhen around and hit the ice rock with the handle of his dagger——
"This... the damage of this avalanche is actually so great?"
A few dozen meters above Ye Tian's head, a group of six people were standing in the ice tower area, looking at the hundred-meter-high ice wall directly opposite with frightened expressions on their faces. They didn't know why this avalanche caused ice.
Wall rupture.
The ice wall as smooth as a mirror seemed to have been split open from the middle with an axe, revealing a deep crack.
The serac area, which was not originally affected by the avalanche, seemed to have been washed away by floods. Even the icicles that had existed for tens of millions of years were completely broken.
However, this saved Ye Tian a lot of trouble, because the bodies of Di Wang and others had been washed down and buried in the snow dozens of meters deep.
"Alimu, I'm really giving you an advantage by revoking your mountaineering instructor certificate!" The leader of the search and rescue team was scolding a member of the team, who turned out to be Ye Tian's mountaineering instructor.
After Ye Tian went up the mountain privately, Alimu did not report it to his superiors immediately in order to shirk responsibility. However, when the avalanche occurred, he did not dare to hide the incident and immediately reported it to the management area.
For the management area, snow mountain accidents are a very serious matter. After receiving Alimu's report, they immediately organized two search and rescue teams to go up the mountain overnight. This team was the first to arrive at the Ice Pagoda Area.
"Old Wu, I seem to hear someone shouting, are there any survivors?" Ye Tian's shout attracted the attention of someone in the team.
"Is it impossible? Is there anyone who can survive?" The middle-aged man named Lao Wu shook his head repeatedly, but then his ears perked up. He also heard the sound of Ye Tian hitting the ice rock.
"Quickly, look for where the sound is coming from? Pay attention to those ice cracks, the survivors are probably hiding underneath!"
Lao Wu is the leader of this search and rescue team and is very experienced. Under this kind of power, the only way to survive is to hide in the ice crevices.
