Original War

Chapter 477

Since knowing the consequences of Shao Xuan’s training there, the soldiers on patrol are interested in waiting there every day after sweeping the snow.

The branch road that came out was still there, and they directly withdrew the temporary rest point, and then turned it into an escape point.

The patrol originally wanted to create an open-air resting place according to the original method, but that would also be exposed to freezing and cold wind.

One day, Shao Xuan suddenly remembered a way. He taught them to use simple abrasive tools and water to make large ice bricks. The water in the river was already frozen so thick that he could not go there and knock on the ice. Use the snow to melt, then pour it into the mold, leave it to freeze for a while, and without a few breaths, ice bricks will soon form, which is very efficient.

Such ice bricks were quickly accepted by the tribe, and even some soldiers who were not on duty came out to help.

Nowadays, from the mountain to the bottom, there are igloos in an “I” shape. The foundation of the igloo is also made of ice, built high, beyond the snow layer, and then build a house on it.

After patrolling, the patrolling soldiers would go to the igloo to rest in the snow-sweeping space, drink some hot water to warm up, and see the situation farther away from here. People in the tribe who have been kept at home will also run over and sneak twice because of fresh curiosity.

Shao Xuan also worried that these people would suffer from snow blindness due to facing the snow for a long time, and reminded them, but so far, no one has snow blindness.

“Look, Elder is pushing snow again!” The man lying on the igloo window looked outside and said.

“Where is it? Let me see!”

The three small windows were rushed to look over.

These igloos were built close to the first road launched by Shao Xuan, and Shao Xuan walks along a new road every day.

Looking from a height, one could see a person covered in flames walking slowly on the white snow. In front of him, there seemed to be a white giant worm moving down the mountain.

Apart from the shock at first sight, the soldiers on patrol now regard this as their daily entertainment. The tribe worships the strong, not to mention how cold they have to endure when walking in the snow in the stormy and snowy weather, they have tried to push the snow, but unfortunately, the apparently inconspicuous snow accumulates Together, they are extremely strong and heavy. They can’t push after only a section, and they still feel that they are quite strong on weekdays.

Duokang came over from outside, patted the snow on his body, and asked, “How is the sentinel under the mountain?”

“Tao Zheng and the others took over today and continued to do it, saying that they wanted to be higher, so that they could see the distance while standing on it, and they didn’t have to go out and get cold.” A soldier said.

“It’s a good thing to use ice bricks as sentinels, but don’t be lazy, I’m going to check it!” Duokang scolded.

“Yes, I promise not to be lazy!”

“Yeah.” Duokang replied, and moved the person beside the window to look outside, “Let me see how Shao Xuan pushes the snow.”

The warrior standing next to him pouted, wasn’t it just to grab the window? Also deliberately scolded.

Down the mountain, on the opposite side of the river, one by one high sentinel points were made, and large blocks of ice were continuously sent there.

After completing a few sentinel points, the soldiers stayed idle and tried to connect these sentinel points and made a passage with ice bricks so that there was no wind and snow when walking, and it looked like it was A city wall was built.

Seeing the built passage that is comparable to the city wall, the soldiers on patrol became more motivated. Such a wind and snowy day is not without fun at all, it is another experience for people who have nothing to do.

The beasts in the mountains and forests rarely appear now, and it is impossible to go hunting in this weather. Fortunately, everyone has a lot of inventory and will not go hungry. If you save a little bit of food, you can live on. Has been going on.

Many people in the tribe didn’t know that there was a team of fifty people leaving the forest in the wind and snow. These people were sent by the leader and the witch. Although they might miss the most important sacrificial ceremony of the tribe in the year, the witch and the leader allowed them to be absent because, in the eyes of the witch and leader, this matter is more than the sacrificial ceremony. It’s important, and it’s about the future of the tribe.

The leader of the team is named Xiang Chen, slightly younger than Duokang, and a senior totem warrior, but he has not been in the tribe for most of the past year.

Xiang Chen was the first group of people to follow Shao Xuan to the sea. He had walked the road from the tribe to the sea twice, and this was the third time.

This time, Xiang Chen was ordered to take people to the beach to see the situation there. According to other people’s ideas, what are you going out for in such a cold day?

But what Wu and the leader want is such a cold day!

Even the leader Wuhe hoped that if it was as they thought, the longer this cold weather would last, the better.

Xiang Chen’s path was different from the path that Shao Xuan took when he first found the tribe. When Shao Xuan went to the tribe from the sea for the first time, he walked almost in a straight line, but it was more difficult to go there. Later when the tribe members went to the sea, they all took another route.

They struggled out of the mountains and forests, and when they passed Ancheng, they found that Anba City, which used to be not too deserted even in winter, now there is no one outside the city.

The tower on the city wall was walking with human shadows, and there were no human shadows in other places. They wanted to go to Anba City to find a place to rest and change some food, but now it seems that this plan was not successful. The city gate was closed tightly, and people outside were not allowed to enter at all.

“Go on.” Xiang Chen greeted the others.

Compared to the mountains and forests, there is less snow here. Perhaps in the eyes of these people in Anba City, it has been a heavy snow that has not been seen in a thousand years. It is difficult to walk and it is extremely troublesome. But Xiang Chen and others who came out of the forest did not think that was the case.

The snow here is only waist deep.

Whenever they met people on the road and heard their conversation, “This snow is already waist-deep, how should we live?”, Xiang Chen and the others can’t wait to say: “It’s only waist-deep, so surprised. , If you take a trip to the forest, will your eyes fall out of fright?!”

I have encountered Tribulation in the middle, but very few. In this kind of weather, professional Tribulation is unwilling to come out. Those who come out are amateurs. Those who have been forced out by the wind and snow have changed their eyes because of hunger and cold. Must be fierce, with an attitude of willingness to go. It’s a pity that Xiang Chen and the others are not kind-hearted people. If these robbers are just begging to speak softly, maybe Xiang Chen and the others can separate out a little bit of food, but stand in front of them with a knife, don’t blame them for being ruthless.

Bright blood splattered on the snow, and quickly froze with the snow. Those who fall there will be fortunate to be covered and covered by snow, and unfortunately will become the target of other hungry and cold people.

Walking along the road, Xiang Chen has seen too much.

The farther you go, the thinner the snow layer.

Xiang Chen’s heart sank. Although he doesn’t want to see such a snow disaster, according to Wu He leader’s intention, this cold weather may be the best to continue. The most important thing is, is the sea frozen? This is what Wu expected.

Wu said, if the sea freezes, continue to look forward. If a large area of ​​ice freezes, this is an opportunity. They can return to the place where they have left for a thousand years and gather with another group. Perhaps, Yanjiao people. The “hidden disease” also has a chance to be cured. Who wouldn’t want to live more than twice as long? You don’t need to hunt for another twenty or thirty years before you have to consider quitting the hunting team, and watch the other tribes who are older than you hunt fiercely in the mountains and forests.

It’s miserable to think about it.

Be sure to freeze, be sure!

Leaving Anba City and passing through other smaller cities, like Anba City there, the gates were closed tightly, showing a serious and heavy meaning, just like the hearts of the people in the city. And there, the snow just reached the thigh.

Moving forward, the bad feeling in Xiang Chen’s heart became stronger and stronger.

When finally stepping on the semi-desert area, Xiang Chen panted and looked into the distance. Here, the snow only reaches their knees.

Keep going, step by step into this once arid area.

Some camel beasts were looking for ice on the ground, and their hair grew longer, and they huddled together in groups to keep warm and eat snow to replenish moisture.

Seeing the pedestrian Xiang Chen, the camel beasts shook their heads and ran away.

Xiang Chen didn’t chase him, there was still food on his body, and he was not in the mood to chase and hunt, his footsteps were more urgent, and he went straight to the beach.

The tall column-shaped cactus stood there like icicles, like thorns, which pierced Xiangchen and his party with blood.

Sea water, no freezing!

Only some places close to the coast are frozen, but compared to the ice layer in the artificial river in front of the tribe, the ice is simply not enough to see. Can people walk on it? !

Not to mention, far away from the coast, the sea is still flowing, and the wind lifts the waves and beats them on the frozen ice.

The blue water, the snow-covered sandy ground, and the impact of the two colors may say to some people that this is a rare beauty. However, Xiang Chen and others are extremely disappointed.

As if losing all his strength, the exhaustion along the way became intense, kneeling on the sandy ground covered with a thin layer of snow, punching the ground out of a pit.

A road is broken.

They don’t even know if they can have any hope of passing this sea in their lifetime.

How long is a person’s life? For people who do almost the same thing every day, it seems to pass away in a blink of an eye. Xiang Chen seemed to see his aging sitting at the door of the house chopping wood and rubbing grass ropes. But people from the tribe next door who are the same age as him drag their prey to come and go freely every day.

Can’t bear to think about it anymore.

With a sigh, with a strong disappointment, Xiang Chen and his party returned to the tribe, not to mention them, after Wu knew it, he would probably cry and faint by the fire pond.

Back to the old place, when will you have to wait? Where is the road?

None of them knew.
