Chapter Twenty-Seven: Cold Winter

(On the new day, do you want me to continue the kind third update? Please use the red ticket, click, and bookmark me... Thanks to the official style Xiaohong, Youxia, and the lean old brothers Ma for their support!)

After autumn, there was heavy rain around Mangya Ridge for several days, and the Wild Horse Stream surged. The flood poured in from the mountain pass, flooding all the valleys on the north side of Wumang Shizhai.

But the flood had not subsided, and the bone-killing cold wave suddenly came again. Almost two days, the narrow and long flooded valley, nearly twenty miles deep, was frozen firmly, covering a layer of ice cover.

The heavy rain turned into heavy snow the next day, covering the deep valleys of Mangyaling into snow-white.

After the Wild Horse Creek froze, it became extremely easy for the tribes of Heishan Mountain on the north bank to raid. Chen Xun could only temporarily put aside his practice and went to the valley entrance on the south bank of the Wild Horse Creek with Zong Sang and other Wumang Manwu, and went to the valley entrance on the south bank of the Wild Horse Creek with the wind and snow to be on guard.

This is the fourth cold winter that Chen has experienced when he found this world. He feels that the cold wave this year has come very early, and the cold wind coming in from the mouth of the valley is also particularly bitter.

He almost has the peak of the fifth level of the Martial Martial Arts. He is wrapped in animal skins, wearing scales, and exposed hands and feet. He is still so painful that the cold wind is cutting. It's just winter. I don't know how many people in the village can't get through this cold winter.

Under the ice cover that was frozen tightly overnight, there were many corpses of birds and beasts, and many drowned wild people. I don’t know where the flood was rushed over from the upper reaches of the Wild Horse Creek, and under the ice cover, he showed a desperate look of struggle and despair before drowning.

The entrance of the valley is about six or seven hundred meters wide, and the wild horse stream comes out of the valley. The naturally formed mud dam has long been shattered by the surge of floods.

Chen Xun squatted on his knees and squatted on a huge rock. Looking at the entrance of the ice and snow, he thought that if the black python could organize manpower, he would build a stone embankment of six or seven hundred meters long here, and the canyon nearly twenty miles deep would become a treasure land that is difficult to soak in drought and flood.

Although Wumang took all the mountains within a dozens of miles south bank of Wild Horse Creek as its own, and could still enter the deep mountains of Mangyaling without restrictions to hunt, most of these hunting areas were rugged and deep valleys, with only a small gentle slope south of Shizhai and this canyon, which is a rare mountain dam flat land in Mangyaling.

This canyon is nearly twenty miles deep, and the narrowest valley entrance is only six or seven hundred meters wide, and the widest one is only three or four miles away. However, the valley bottom terrain is flat and open, and it is a rare flat land in the mountains that can be used for cultivation.

Also, the floods of Wild Horse Creek bring into a large amount of fertile soil all year round, which makes it extremely precious.

When Chen Xun read "Canglan Miscellaneous Records", he learned that the Canglan ancestors had collected wild grains and cultivated them on flat slopes, and the history of pastoring grass-fed animals was even longer.

If we really want to make good use of this canyon flat dam, the Wumang tribe members don’t have to worry about the food problems of more than a thousand tribes.

However, the biggest problem facing Black Python is that its strength is not enough.

Even if the black python is capable of building stone embankments at the entrance of the valley at this time, blocking the flood that broke out from the upper reaches of the Wild Horse Creek in summer and autumn, planting grains, and raising animals, in addition to the coveting of the tribes of the Black Mountain on the north bank of the Wild Horse Creek, a large number of ferocious birds and beasts that go out to hunt in the deep mountains are even more serious threats.

Seeing Grandpa Zongtu and Nan Liao coming, Chen Xun vibrated the snow particles on his armor, jumped off the huge rock, walked over, and said, "Grandpa, this winter is really cold. With such a heavy storm, the village must make more preparations."

"The cold wave that once in the decade is not easy to survive!" Wu Gongzongtu frowned, and the old faces of the old tree, like dead bark, squeezed together, with indescribable worries.

"Cold tide?" Chen Xun had just experienced the fourth winter when he found this world. He still didn't know how threatening the once-decade cold tide would be to the wild tribes living north of Python Yaling.

"Axun, after today, until the beginning of spring, you should not enter the mountain again," Wu Gongzongtu said seriously. "This cold wave is a little more powerful than in previous years. I don't know how many wild beasts will come out of the mountains to find food, and the stone walls of the village must be repaired again..."

Although Mangyaling is just a branch of Tushan, the deepest main peak is also high into the clouds. The deepest part of the mountain is deep in the clouds, and the middle of the mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round. It looks white in the distance.

When the cold wave hits, the stone villages located in the canyon are dripping into ice. How cold will it be on the high mountains and ridges above the clouds?

It's just now winter, and the long winter will last for five or six months.

In order to avoid the severe cold, a large number of birds and beasts will migrate from the cold mountains to the mountains that can shelter from the wind. Although those wild beasts that do not leave the deep mountains for many years are not afraid of the severe cold, in order to feed, they will appear more frequently in the edges of Python Yaling in the cold winter.

When the cold wave comes from the north, the northern Huze Wasteland Area will face a more cruel test. A large number of ferocious birds and beasts living in the northern Huze area and even further north are migrating south to avoid the cold on a large scale, which will pose a more deadly threat to the surrounding tribes.

"Canglan Miscellaneous Records" records that the entire village tribe was swallowed by the beasts.

It seemed that in order to confirm Chen Xun's trouble, two sharp roars came from the far sky in the north. Chen Xun turned around and saw two black shadows coming from the far sky. In the blink of an eye, two giant eagles rushed down from the blue sky into the valley.

In the blink of an eye, a giant vulture grabbed a mountain leopard and flew into the sky again. The other giant vulture soon grabbed a giant snake from the valley and soared far away, and flew towards the depths of the Python ridge to the south.

The giant eagle flew over the sky, spreading its flesh wings even bigger than the barbarian bull. Its body was covered with blue-gray armor scales, without a single feather. The huge bird body seemed to be made of divine iron, scattering cold light under the white and cold sun.

Scale Vulture!

Both Canglan Miscellaneous Records and Western Wilderness Classics mentioned that this kind of strange bird is a hundred times stronger than a blue-eyed eagle. The mountain leopard with strong body and fierce claws has no room for struggle under the iron claws of the scaled eagle.

Chen Xun was secretly shocked when he saw this situation.

"It seems that the village also needs to prepare more live animals..." Wu Gong Zongtu looked at the scaled vultures flying far into the depths of the Python Ya Ridge, and said to Nan Liao with concern.

Even if the whole village's barbarian martial arts power is able to capture and kill such a ferocious beast, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. However, the whole village's barbarian martial arts have only 20 enlightened barbarian souls, and no one can afford to lose.

If such a ferocious beast came to attack the village, all the black python could do was throw out the live beasts that had been prepared long ago to protect the clan.

"Grandpa, there is still one month before the cold winter really comes. I want to take a trip to Huze District in the north..." Chen Xun said to Grandpa Zongtu.

Chen Xun had no ability to walk out of the surrounding mountains before, so he could only stay in the black python hunting area. He even had no chance to take a look at the lake plain fifty or sixty miles north.

Now the major tribes in Beishan are busy preparing for wasteland and cold weather, and hunting teams rarely dispatched on a large scale. The possibility of Chen Xun happening to encounter the Heishan Martial Arts in the wilderness is extremely small.

Even if he unfortunately encounters a high-level barbarian martial artist like Gu Hu in the wild, and is unable to compete, he will not have a chance to escape.

After next spring, Su Wu's deputy lieutenant Su Qingfeng will send someone to Mangyaling to select and recommend tribal children to Canglan Academy. Chen Xun thought about it over and over again and decided to try it.

Although the Nine Nether Spear of the Black Python is profound and mysterious, far from reaching the Dapeng Secret Fist, the practice of the Barbarian Soul does not have the secret secrets of the mysterious skills after Tianman. Even how to condense the true blood of the First Man, the Black Python does not have detailed practice methods.

For now, when Chen Xun wants to practice the profound mastery of the barbarian martial arts or other mysterious skills, Canglan Academy is the only way.

However, after seeing the actions of Su Ling and the two Su playboys, Chen Xun also knew that Canglan was not a place for Yiju, and Su was definitely not a good man and a trustworthy woman.

He wanted to go to Canglan after spring, and his own strength would continue to be strengthened to be more confident.

Although he still has ten Yuanjue Dan in his hand, ten Yuanjue Dan is only enough for him to practice with all his strength for one month.

Now the wild beasts deep in the Python Ya Ridge are beginning to be restless, and it will become extremely dangerous to go into the mountains to collect herbs. If he wants to find more spiritual medicines for practice, he will only go to Huze District to the north to catch his luck.

"Canglan Miscellaneous Records" records that from the beginning of the cold wave to the large-scale beast migration southward, there would be a month or two lag. Chen Xun thought of taking this time to take a trip to Huze District in the north to see if he could pick up any elixirs.

Although the cold wave was cold and bitter, Chen Xun practiced to the fifth level of the Manchu Martial Arts at this time and needed such hard practice to temper the bones all over his body.

******************************

On this trip north, Chen Xun did not expect to fight with people. He put the heavy spear and scales in the shack, with a black sheath long knife, a giant iron burrow and a pot of iron arrows. He carried a special medicine basket and faced the bitter cold wind, he crossed the Wild Horse Creek and crossed mountains and ridges to the north.

The Huze area north of Mangyaling has frozen into a vast ice field at this time, and a large number of weeds and trees are buried under the ice and snow.

Although Huze District is flat, with lush grass and trees growing, and a large area of ​​primitive dense forests are home to a large number of birds and beasts, the changing rainstorms and a large amount of glacier melt water will flow out from the surrounding mountains and high mountains such as Mangyaling and Tushanxiling, forming crisscrossing rivers and lakes in the plain area.

In these areas, wild tribes can occasionally go hunting, but the floods are flooded everywhere every now and then, and no tribe can survive in it for a long time; while the wild strange beasts that survive in large primitive forests in Huze District are not necessarily weaker than the ferocious birds and beasts in the mountains and valleys.

There are only some scattered tribes, and they survive in the mountains and hills distributed in the Huze District.

The cold current is definitely not without any benefit.

The deep lake swamp on the edge of the primitive dense forest was an extremely fierce place, but it was frozen tightly by the cold current. A large number of poisonous insects, snakes and dragons hibernate under the ice layer and enter hibernation, and they will not easily break the ice and hurt people.

And the ice-covered snowfield is even more flat, without any terrain obstacles.

Of course, if you don’t want to become a prey for birds of prey, Chen Xun dared not walk casually on the snowfield, but walked carefully north along the sparse forest area at the junction of the lake and the primitive dense forest.

He came out of Python Yaling, wore a white velvet animal skin hat, a white velvet animal jacket, a giant iron-tied bow and a black sheathed sword, and was also wrapped in white velvet to disguise it, blending it with ice and snow. This way he could focus more on finding the spiritual medicines and herbs needed for practice in the snow and ice.

Some spiritual herbs are usually accompanied by poisonous insects, snakes and dragons, and few medicine tourists dare to go deep into Huze District to collect them.
