Lighting a fire in the cave not only provides lighting, but also the temperature of the flame makes the cave warm. Even if you don't use spiritual energy to keep out the cold, you won't get frostbite.
Xu Qingyun looked again at the entrance of the cave, where cold wind was still blowing into it.
"I'm going to find something to block the entrance to the cave." Xu Qingyun stood up and said.
"Uncle Master, do you want my help?" Yuan Tianyi asked.
Xu Qingyun shook his head gently: "No need."
When he came outside, Xu Qingyun looked around and found nothing suitable to block the hole.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingyun simply took out the Longli Sword and carved out a giant square ice block on the hard ice ground.
With the spiritual energy in his body circulating, Xu Qingyun lifted the giant ice block and moved it back to the cave.
He entered the cave himself first, and it was best to move giant ice blocks to block the entrance of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is tightly blocked, and the cold wind whistling outside can no longer blow into the cave. And with the low temperature of dozens of degrees below zero outside, there is no need to worry about the ice cubes melting.
In a warm cave, Xu Qingyun does not need to use spiritual energy to keep out the cold.
The fur coat peeled off from the unknown white creature is being dried next to the fire. I believe it will not take long before it is completely dry.
At this time, Yuan Tianyi pointed to a place on the ground and said, "Uncle Master, look here."
When Xu Qingyun heard this, he looked intently.
There were some broken bones on the ground, as well as several bottles and jars of things.
Those bottles and jars look like jars containing condiments, and logically they shouldn't be here, unless...
Unless someone has been here before.
Look at the remaining firewood and some scattered charcoal in the cave.
"Other people should have lived here. These are all traces of human activities." Xu Qingyun said.
Yuan Tianyi nodded vigorously, feeling an indescribable strange feeling.
She imagined how people in the past spent the night in this cave. Did those people come in from the outside world like herself?
"Don't think too much, have a good rest, we will continue moving forward tomorrow." Xu Qingyun said.
"Okay, uncle." Yuan Tianyi nodded.
The two of them sat around the fire, closing their eyes and resting. They were actually practicing to restore their spiritual energy.
Time passes.
At this time, it was completely dark outside the cave, the sun had set, and the temperature had dropped again. The wind and snow had no intention of letting up, but became more intense.
Click, click!
There was a sudden cracking sound on the hard ice surface.
There were two sounds at first, followed by countless sounds of ice breaking.
A white tentacle suddenly broke through the ice and poked out from below.
Bang!
The ice burst and white tentacles flew up.
There was more than one white tentacle, four, five, six, and more tentacles appeared.
It is another unknown creature. The white creature has many tentacles on its body. It looks like an octopus or a jellyfish, but it is obviously neither of these two creatures.
The white tentacled creature is about one meter in size, but its tentacles extend far beyond one meter.
The creature floats in the air, wandering aimlessly.
More and more creatures with white tentacles broke through the hard ice and emerged from below.
After a while, a scalp-numbing scene appeared, and the whole world seemed to be filled with this kind of white tentacled creature.
Their number is countless, a hundred, a thousand, or even more.
These creatures just float in the air, as if they are wandering in the water. They have no purpose, they are more like taking a walk, and they are very quiet.
A white orangutan appeared. It was the kind of white creature that Xu Qingyun and Yuan Tianyi had seen during the day. It was a creature similar to an orangutan, and was named the white orangutan by Yuan Tianyi.
One of its legs seemed to have been seriously injured and was bleeding continuously, but it was still running away, but not very fast.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I can actually see the look of fear on the white orangutan's face.
The ice cracked, and several white tentacled creatures flew out from below.
The originally peaceful white tentacle creature seemed to smell the smell of blood and rushed directly towards the injured white orangutan.
The tentacles on their bodies stretched out for several meters at a time, directly entangling the orangutan.
Other white tentacle creatures also came over to fight for it, extending their white tentacles as well.
During the fight, the huge body of the white orangutan was torn into pieces, and several white tentacled creatures each snatched a part.
With a roll of white tentacles, he brought the white orangutan's broken corpse into his mouth and swallowed it directly without chewing or biting.
After the white tentacle creature was swallowed, its body expanded much larger.
But if you look carefully, you can't find that their bodies are expanding and getting smaller bit by bit, probably because they are digesting the food they have eaten.
After several white tentacled creatures devoured the injured white orangutan, they drifted aimlessly to other places, as if nothing had happened.
During the day, after the body of the white orangutan killed by Xu Qingyun was discovered by these white tentacled creatures, it was also snatched and devoured.
Not just white orangutans, but any living creature found by these white tentacled creatures will be killed and devoured by them.
No matter how powerful this creature is and how big its body is, it can't resist their siege. After all, there are too many of them.
These white tentacled creatures are the kings of the night. They are like army ants that devour everything, and like locusts, there is no living creature wherever they pass.
If any creature dares to be exposed in front of these terrifying white tentacle monsters, death is the only thing waiting for them.
Unknown world, terrifying creatures.
The night here is countless times more dangerous than the day.
…
Inside the cave.
Xu Qingyun and Yuan Tianyi opened their eyes almost at the same time.
"Uncle Master, did you hear that? There seems to be something strange outside?!"
Yuan Tianyi looked at Xu Qingyun with an unnatural expression.
Xu Qingyun nodded: "I heard it too."
Xu Qingyun not only heard it, but also sensed it with his spiritual consciousness. There seemed to be countless creatures floating in the air in the outside world.
"Tianyi, you stay here, I'll go take a look." Xu Qingyun thought for a while and then said.
"Uncle Master, you'd better not go, I feel it's very dangerous!" Yuan Tianyi took Xu Qingyun's hand and shook his head at him, with a look of worry on his face.
Xu Qingyun hesitated for a while and then said: "I'm just going to take a look and won't go out."
"Then I'll go with you." Yuan Tianyi said.
Xu Qingyun nodded, and the two slowly came to the entrance of the cave. At this time, the entrance of the cave was still blocked by the thick ice.
Xu Qingyun used his spiritual energy and carefully moved the giant ice cube to reveal a gap, and then the two of them looked outside.
At this sight, their scalps instantly became numb and their hairs stood on end.
Xu Qingyun's expression changed even more, and without any hesitation, he moved the ice blocks blocking the entrance of the cave back as quickly as possible.
Finally, he took Yuan Tianyi's jade hand and quickly retreated into the cave.
"Master...Uncle Master, what are those outside...out there?!"
Yuan Tianyi's heartbeat was beating violently and his expression was frightened.
