Chapter 1046 This Is Not a Long Summer

hee hee hee -

A tempting fragrance wafted over the bird's nest.

The familiar laughter of Elder Pukang, accompanied by the chirping of birds, echoed in the sky over Patriarch Sdebal's house.

It is clear.

Patriarch Sdebal led Elder Pukang around and came back for breakfast.

"Chang Xia, what kind of breakfast did you prepare? It smells so good!" Excited, Pukang jumped off Patriarch Sdebal's beast. The ground didn't make any vibration or sound, and the elder Pukang landed lightly. Like the fallen leaves in the warm season, they fall silently to the ground.

Shen Rong said: "I stewed bird eggs and boiled chamois meatballs with secret medicine for Chang Xia."

Listen to the word "secret medicine".

The smile on Elder Pukang's face disappeared immediately.

The only thing that can be called a secret medicine in the Twilight Forest is the boa snake secret medicine of the Snake Mountain tribe. Nothing else.

"Long summer—"

"Elder Pukang, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I told Tina Ya'am just now, and she asked Felice to go to the Wizard Hall to ask Nanhe Wizard for help to inquire about the medicinal ingredients for the medicinal diet. When the medicinal ingredients are brought, I will Tina Yaam will help to cook the medicinal food."

Listen to Chang Xia's arrangement.

Elder Pukang nodded, still worried.

However, it is not as tense as before.

"You're not feeling well. Ice Crystal Grass growth site and the Shinahai site will be delayed for a while. Everything is based on your physical safety, and nothing else is important." Pu Kang said earnestly.

to be honest.

The elder Pukang, who became serious, made people dare not resist.

Majestic, powerful, and domineering.

This surprised Chang Xia slightly.

In her eyes, Elder Pukang has always been careless, rough, and unrestrained.

And informal.

Today, the elder Pukang suddenly changed his face.

Chang Xia couldn't react for a moment.

After a while, Chang Xia came back to his senses. He secretly sighed, sure enough, every elder of the orcs is not simple, and one must not identify a person based on feeling, that would be a big loss.

"yes,

I see. "Chang Xia responded, very well-behaved.

Next to him, Patriarch Sdebar didn't interrupt.

He was also aware of the importance of a long summer, so he quickly opened his mouth, saying whether it was the place where the ice crystal grass grows or the site of the Shina Sea. Don't worry about these, wait for Chang Xia to rest well, and then make considerations and arrangements.

Patriarch Sdebar knows the truth.

Elder Pukang restrained the momentum he released just now.

Once again, the harmless and rough appearance of humans and animals has been restored.

but.

This time, whether it is Chang Xia or other orcs.

Don't even dare to ignore him, this is a dozing tiger, who doesn't know when it will explode?

Shen Rong brought the steamed eggs to Chang Xia.

The chamois meatballs had to be cooked a little longer.

Tinaya brought barbecue, fruit and other breakfasts to the table, and at the same time prepared a portion for Felice Das and put it aside, and began to eat.

Shen Rong was not in a hurry to eat, he planned to wait until the chamois meatballs were cooked before eating.

Chang Xia ate steamed eggs with secret medicine.

A warm heat rose from the abdomen and gradually spread to the internal organs.

"Chang Xia, come and eat a piece of barbecue. Eat more meat, and you will be more energetic after eating meat." Tina Ya persuaded, the bird clan eats meat, but it is not like the beast clan who loves meat. They like to eat with fruits, wild fruits and plant roots.

This aspect is somewhat similar to the deer clan.

Of course, not all bird families are the same.

There are also bird tribes and orc tribe orcs, who have no meat and no joy.

"Hmm! Good." Chang Xia ate a bowl of steamed eggs, his appetite whetted, and he didn't refuse the barbecue that Tina Ya gave her. He took a big bite and the meat juice splashed, and a strong aroma of barbecue came to his nostrils. "Delicious! The chamois barbecue is really a must. Have the bird tribe ever thought about raising chamois?"

"How to raise—"

"Catch a few and circle a mountain for stocking."

"My family has never tried it. The chamois run extremely fast and like to run on the cliffs. Our family is good at flying, and it is not easy to catch the chamois."

but.

Patriarch Sdebal is still serious about clearing up the breeding of chamois with Chang Xia. ..

Phyllis and the others returned to the Feihe Tribe.

It was mentioned that the Heluo tribe raised livestock and poultry.

The Feihe Tribe was tempted, but unfortunately they had no experience. The captive animals either ran away, were killed or went on a hunger strike, and they never succeeded.

It was rare for Chang Xia to take the initiative to mention this topic.

Patriarch Sdebal and Tinaya discussed with Chang Xia enthusiastically.

When Shen Rong came over with the cooked chamois meatballs, Chang Xia unknowingly ate two pieces of barbecue.

"It's a bit hot, eat slowly." Shen Rong said.

Chang Xia hummed, held the bowl, and sipped the soup.

After a while, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction, and said, "This soup is so delicious! Cheer up, chief Sdebal, I believe that the Feihe tribe will be able to successfully breed chamois. I will wait to exchange it with you when the time comes."

Chang Xia's meal.

It directly frightened Meng Shen Rong and Elder Pukang.

She finished eating the chamois meatball soup cooked by Shen Rong, and then ate three pieces of chamois barbecue.

Originally, Chang Xia wanted to

eat a piece.

this time.

Shen Rong blocked it decisively.

Next to him, Elder Pukang seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Chang Xia, save your stomach for lunch."

He had never seen Chang Xia eat so much food at once. If this amount of food was replaced by Nanfeng Maple Leaf, Elder Pukang would not be surprised, and would encourage them to eat more.

but.

When the target is changed to Chang Xia.

Elder Pukang looked very serious.

Patriarch Sdebal and Tinaya looked at each other.

Shen Rong explained: "Chang Xia, each meal does not exceed two pieces of barbecue. This meal, she ate a bit too much."

One said.

Both Patriarch Sdebal came back to their senses.

"Chang Xia, let's save our stomachs for lunch. I will cook chicken soup for you at noon, and stew medicinal food with chamois meat." Tina Yawen said.

Hearing this, Chang Xia regretted looking at the barbecue on the table.

Licking the corner of her mouth, she felt as if she could eat a little more.

Overeating is not advisable.

this moment.

It just so happened that Phyllis came back from the wizard hall.

Wizard Nanhe came with him and landed on the ground.

Wizard Nanhe walked towards Chang Xia to help her check her body. After some inspection, it was confirmed that there was no major problem in Chang Xia, and he was relieved just now.

"It's okay, drink a few more days of medicinal food to replenish your vitality. Recently, I rested in the Feihe Tribe for a few days, and then set off for the Shinahai ruins after my energy recovered." Nan He said.

Immediately, all the orcs breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Xia smiled, covered her mouth, and hiccupped quietly.

Standing up, I couldn't help strolling in the courtyard.

see.

Wizard Nanhe couldn't help asking why.

Tina Ya explained in a low voice, and Wizard Nanhe smiled lightly.

Before she came, she had breakfast. However, no orc could refuse the chamois barbecue. Without being reminded, Wizard Nanhe and Filia took their seats, took the bowls and chopsticks and buried their heads in eating.

Here Elder Pukang is chatting with Patriarch Sdebar.

I plan to go down to the mountain stream to hunt and get some fresh food for Chang Xia.

Most orcs are full of energy and can't rest for a while. Besides, it was a rare opportunity to go hunting in the Qinghai Plateau, and Elder Pukang was very excited.

Shen Rong was equally excited.

However, he was worried about Chang Xia.

I can only rest my mind and wait for Chang Xia's body to recover before making plans.

this day.

It has been three days since the three of Changxia entered Feiyajian.

For three days, Chang Xia ate and slept.

Take a stroll around Feiyajian by the way, and live a comfortable and comfortable life. Feiyajian, a world completely different from the Baihe River Basin.

The bird family lives high in the clouds, overlooking the mountains and streams, playing in the world.

If it weren't for at least two medicated meals a day, Chang Xia felt that life in Feiyajian was also very good. Unfortunately, she has no wings and cannot fly.

I can't enjoy the feeling of going straight to the sky and diving into the mountain stream.

"Chang Xia, take a few pieces of dried boa and snake meat." Shen Rong said.

Chang Xia pointed to the animal pouch on his waist and said, "Don't worry, Ah Rong! I packed the dried boa and snake meat with me early, and I won't forget it. Hurry up, don't let Patriarch Sdebal and the others wait too long, I'm looking forward to it for several days , I finally have a chance to go to the place where the ice crystal grass grows."

Feihe tribe's second day.

Su Ye took the initiative to contact Chang Xia with Yinbei and learned that she was unwell.

Discuss with Nanhe to let Chang Xia rest in Feiyajian for three days.

Three days later.

Go to the place where the ice crystal grass grows.

Su Ye was very excited when he heard that the Feihe Tribe planned to donate two Ice Crystal Grass to Chang Xia. At the beginning, she asked Nan He if he wanted to exchange, but Nan He refused to agree.

Ha ha--

Now, didn't Nanhe take the initiative to send out the ice crystal grass?

It has to be Chang Xia who goes out, one for two.

Um!

Not two, but countless two.

Su Ye was so happy, and promised Nan He to wait for her to go to the Dusk Forest, and to say whatever she wanted to eat. As long as there is something in the Dusk Forest, Nan He can speak.

"Take another thick coat." Shen Rong said.

Tina Ya said that the ice crystal grass grows in the ice crystal valley of Feiyajian.

The valley of ice crystals is surrounded by unmelted ice all year round. In the valley, the temperature is low all year round, so the Feihe Tribe warehouse is built in the Ice Crystal Valley.

"Yes, I can't forget this." Chang Xia patted his head and said, "Ice Crystal Valley is always cold, so I need to wear more clothes to go there."

At this time, you can't catch a cold and get sick.

After three days of herbal diet, Chang Xia’s food was bland and tasteless, especially the chili barbecue.

After returning to the bird's nest after the expedition in the ice crystal valley, let Chang Xia cook chili barbecue. There is no fresh chili, but chili powder and chili sauce are still available.

No one competed with Chang Xia for these things.

Shen Rong kept it for Chang Xia and gave it to her to eat.

"Long Xia, are you ready?" Filia asked loudly from outside the courtyard.

Chang Xia waved his hand to let him in, and replied, "Right away."

Elder Pukang was not interested in the Ice Crystal Valley, so he swooped down the mountain stream with the elder Nanwei early in the morning, saying that he was going to hunt chamois and give Chang Xia a snack at noon.

Today, she and Shen Rong followed Tina Ya to the Ice Crystal Valley. Phyllisdas will go with the two, and the head of the Stabal will not go together.

The stakes are high in exploring the Shinahai site.

After he made time to receive the three of Chang Xia, he was busy again. The dusk forest returns to the earth in spring, and the orcs are busy hunting and picking. The same goes for the bird family.

The new way of eating highland barley taught by Chang Xia.

Patriarch Sdebal needed to teach the new way of eating to other bird tribes. During the three days of rest in the long summer, Patriarch Sdebal took Tinaya with him so busy that he became dizzy.

Of course, the harvest is very gratifying.

With the Feihe tribe as the center, various ways of eating highland barley quickly spread throughout the Qinghai Plateau. If Nan He hadn't spoken in person, all the orcs from the Bird Tribe would have wanted to come to the Feihe Tribe to visit Chang Xia...

After a while.

Led by Tinaya, Chang Xia and his party headed towards Feiyajian Ice Crystal Valley.

Ice Crystal Valley is located in the southeast of Feiyajian.

The closer you get to the Ice Crystal Valley, the cooler the surrounding temperature will be. Unlike other places in Feiyajian, there are no towering peaks in the Ice Crystal Valley. The peaks in the valley are all very low and connected together in patches.

Looking down from the sky, a large mist of water surrounds the valley of ice crystals below.

"It's very cold, very similar to the mysterious vine forest in Misty Ridge. Could it be that there are cold stone mines or Qingming stones under the ice crystal valley?" Chang Xia murmured in a low voice. This naturally formed cold place must be Something is wrong.

No wonder such a special plant as ice crystal grass can be bred.

This said.

Shen Rong's originally low interest suddenly became a little more curious.

In the Twilight Forest, the totem of the beast god's real body in the Weishan Holy Land is carved from a whole piece of Qingming Stone. This caused Weishan Holy Land to feel cold to the bone as soon as night fell. Even the most powerful orc totem warriors dare not stay in Weishan Holy Land.

Fortunately, the chill of Qingmingshi has a distance limit.

Otherwise, it would be ridiculous not to be able to enter Weishan Holy Land.

Phyllis landed in an open space 500 meters away from the Ice Crystal Canyon. This open space has been repaired and is very flat, with a layer of brook stone slabs paved.

Under the sun, it is extremely dazzling.

"Shen Rong, bring Chang Xia here. We can't go directly into the Ice Crystal Valley. The temperature in the valley is low. In order not to destroy the living environment of the Ice Crystal Grass, our family did not cultivate the Ice Crystal Valley too much. We need to walk inside." Tina Ya explained with.

The sun shines on the creek stone slabs, shining brightly.

Far away from the ice crystal valley ahead

Looking at each other, this mountain peak is incompatible with Feiyajian, and this place is more like an ice world.

"The low temperature in the Ice Crystal Valley is low all year round. Even if it snows on the Qinghai Plateau, the vicinity of the Ice Crystal Valley will not be covered with ice and snow. It is very strange here." Felice shook off the animal fur coat on his body and regained his human form.

Das said: "In the cold season, the temperature in Ice Crystal Valley is higher than other places in Feiyajian. We can come here to spend the winter."

listen.

Chang Xia Shen Rong found it extremely miraculous.

The Feihe tribe goes to the Ice Crystal Valley to spend the winter in the cold season.

The area of ​​this ice crystal valley is far beyond Chang Xia's imagination.

Tina Ya asked Shen Rong to help Chang Xia get dressed neatly, including military caps and gloves, and a group of five walked along the stone slabs of the stream and walked into the ice crystal valley step by step.

"This chill is a bit familiar!" Shen Rong said.

Chang Xia turned sideways and glanced at Shen Rong. She also felt this way, obviously, Chang Xia's previous speculation might be true.

There may be a Cold Stone Mine or Qingming Stone Mine hidden under the Ice Crystal Valley.

Currently, Chang Xia couldn't tell whether the familiar chill was from the cold stone or from the Qingming stone. She needs to get closer to be sure.

"Shen Rong, what are you two talking about?" Tina Ya asked.

Phyllis Dass also looked at the two of them, chilling... A bit familiar, cold, is there any difference?

"We are curious about the reason for the formation of the Ice Crystal Valley. However, we need to get close to the Ice Crystal Grass, or go deeper into the Ice Crystal Valley, before we can confirm it. After we are sure, we will tell Tina Ya'am in detail." Chang Xia smiled.

She has a gut feeling.

If you figure out why the ice crystal valley exists.

Ice crystal grass planting will become very simple. ..

This said.

The three of Tinaya looked at each other, vaguely understanding something. In the same place, excitement and excitement appeared on their faces.

"It's weird!"

"What's so strange?"

"Tina Ya'am, the ice crystal valley gets colder as it gets deeper into the valley, or is it colder near the place where the ice crystal grass grows?" Chang Xia asked softly.

"Ice crystal grass grows scattered, they don't grow together. Usually, the temperature in the area where ice crystal grass grows is lower than other places in the valley. The specific reason is also not very clear to us." Tina Ya answered while thinking about the long term. The reason for Xia's inquiry, the situation of the Ice Crystal Valley, has been checked countless times by the Bird Clan.

pity.

so far.

Bird Clan couldn't figure out why.

According to the animal skin ancient scrolls and white paper ancient books passed down by the various tribes of the Niaozu, the ice crystal grass was once a treasure given to the Niaozu by the Snow Mountain Temple.

However, most of the ancient animal skin scrolls related to the ice crystal grass were destroyed.

The bird family that specializes in taking care of the ice crystal grass died thousands of years ago. The Bird Clan is stingy in exchanging the Ice Crystal Grass, because the Bird Clan doesn't know how to plant the Ice Crystal Grass. The Ice Crystal Grass is consumed year after year, and will eventually wither and die one day.

Once that day comes.

The Bird Clan will lose the Ice Crystal Grass, and the Ice Crystal Valley will exist in name only.

"Tina Ya'am, where does the ice crystal grass grow closest to us?" Chang Xia asked curiously. Stepping into the valley of ice crystals, the cold wind is icy cold and biting. Overnight, the rainy season returned to the cold season again.

"Here—" Tina Ya pointed to the front left, and explained: "We have paved a creek path in every area where the ice crystal grass grows. There used to be hundreds of such creek paths in the Ice Crystal Valley. , Gradually, only thirty-three remain.”

One said.

The expressions of the three of Tina Ya were full of sadness.

Ice crystal grass grows close to the ground, short and small.

It's grass, and it's not grass.

To be precise, the ice crystal grass is more like a low shrub. Each ice crystal grass is about one meter high and grows in an umbrella.

Walk along the creek and stone trail for a kilometer.

In sight, a light blue low shrub came into view.

Different from the purple and black of the light tree, the low shrub in front of me looks like an open light blue umbrella, with sparse fruits hanging on the tight branches. The fruit is about the size of two fingers, green and green.

"Tina Ya'am, is the ice crystal grass a tree?"

Chang Xia has eaten Bingguo, even though the Bingguo is not ripe yet, she can still recognize the two finger-sized fruits as Bingguo.

obvious.

This low shrub is naturally the legendary ice crystal grass.

Close to the ice crystal grass, the temperature dropped again, Chang Xia shrank his neck, staring at the ice crystal grass.

"Ice Crystal Grass is Ice Crystal Grass." Tina Ya explained.

Trees, whether it is the Qinghai Plateau, or the evening forest. The trees are tens of meters high, or more than a hundred meters high. An ice crystal grass that is about one meter long cannot be called an ice crystal tree. What's more, according to the memory passed down from generation to generation by the Bird Clan, the Ice Crystal Grass is called the Ice Crystal Grass, not the Ice Crystal Tree.

As for the reason, Tinaya couldn't tell.

listen.

Chang Xia understands, just like ginkgo trees are called ginkgo trees.

"Tina Yaam, can I get close to the ice crystal grass? I want to check the soil around the ice crystal grass. It's best to use a branch or something to pull it."

Tina Ya nodded in confusion.

The two Phyllis beside them were even more confused.

"Chang Xia, you step back. I will fight with Felice, and you just tell me what to do." Shen Rong stopped Chang Xia and prevented her from approaching the ice crystal grass.

Chang Xia was not in a hurry to touch the ice crystal grass.

After all, the doubts in my heart have not been confirmed.

She was not in a hurry to activate the bloodline ability, and it would not be too late to wait for Shen Rong to remove the soil and confirm the condition of the ice crystal grass.

After a while.

"A Rong, have you gained anything?" Chang Xia asked.

She and Tina Ya stood ten meters away from the Ice Crystal Grass, watching Shen Rong and the other three pawing the soil near the Ice Crystal Grass.

It was cold in the ice crystal valley, but the soil was not frozen solid.

However, it is firmer than the outside if it is not frozen.

Pulling it up is not easy.

"It shouldn't be Han Shi—" Shen Rong said. He held a handful of soil and walked towards Chang Xia. Chang Xia reached out and grabbed the soil, twisting it, feeling the coolness in the soil.

Chang Xia nodded and said, "This chill is very similar to Weishan Holy Land."

"Yes, that's what I mean too." Shen Rong pressed close to the ground, and the moment his hands touched the soil, he felt a chill belonging to the Qingming Stone. He has been to the Weishan Holy Land many times, and he is very familiar with the chill released by the Qingming Stone.

Under this ice crystal valley.

It is very likely that there is a huge Qingming stone mine.

The ice crystal grass grows attached to the Qingming Stone Mine, so of course it cannot only be related to the Qingming Stone. Because Tinaya said that there used to be hundreds of creek paths in the Ice Crystal Valley, but now there are only thirty-three of them, and the Ice Crystal Grass is withering and dying.

but--

Ice Crystal Valley has not changed in any way.

This means that the withering and death of the ice crystal grass has nothing to do with the ice crystal valley, but other reasons lead to the death of the ice crystal grass.

Maybe it's the age of growth.

The bird tribe can't breed new ice crystal grass, and when all the ice crystal grass in the ice crystal valley withers and dies, the ice crystal grass will naturally disappear.

Shen Rong concluded that the wizard Nanhe was waiting outside the ice crystal valley.

She wanted to come in, and wanted Chang Xia to solve the problem of ice crystal grass breeding.

But at the same time, it is clear that it is not realistic to bet on Chang Xia for the things that the Bird Clan has not solved for hundreds of years. So Wizard Nanhe chose to wait, hoping that Chang Xia could bring good news to her and the Niaozu.

"Chang Xia, tell me carefully?" Tina Ya asked nervously.

Phyllis Das stood beside holding a handful of soil stupidly.

It's about ice crystal grass, so they can't be nervous or worried.

"Shen Rong and I stepped into the Ice Crystal Valley, and felt the chill in the Ice Crystal Valley very familiar. We suspected that it was related to the cold stone and the Qingming stone, and guessed that there was a huge cold stone mine or Qingming stone mine under the ice crystal valley. It's just that we can't confirm without personal contact."

"Just now, Shen Rong scraped some dirt near the ice crystal grass."

"After identification, we can be sure that there should be a huge Qingming stone mine under the ice crystal valley. This chill is the same as the beast totem in the Weishan Holy Land. The beast totem in the Weishan Holy Land is carved from a whole piece of Qingming stone. Can't get close."

However, it is different in Ice Crystal Valley.

Could it be that the soil can insulate the orcs from the cold of the Qingming Stone?

However, that may be the only way to say it.

After all, the Ice Crystal Valley, like other peaks in Feiyajian, is covered with vegetation. However, because of the ice crystal grass, the orcs of the Feihe tribe would remove some of the plants in the valley to prevent them from competing with the ice crystal grass for sunlight and nutrients in the soil.

"Qingming Stone Mine——"

The three of Tinaya murmured, they didn't know much about Qingmingshi.

"Chang Xia, what is the relationship between Qingming Stone Mine and Ice Crystal Grass?"

"I suspect that the growth of the ice crystal grass needs the cold air released by the Qingming stone as nutrients, and the inability of the ice crystal grass to reproduce may also be related to the cold air of the Qingming stone.

The more Chang Xia explained, the more confused Tina Ya and the other three became.
