Chapter 238 Stone Forest in the Snow
The time is daytime.
But the sky was dark, and the cold wind blew across the earth. Some stone forests even collapsed and turned into rubble on the ground.
On the ground, Lindsay and Hong hurried forward with difficulty.
Of course, the strong wind could not stop the two awakened ones with strong physiques, but the cold air hit their eyes and penetrated their nostrils. This feeling makes people neither want to open their eyes nor want to breathe.
The journey itself became a torture.
This kind of extreme weather might be explained by natural principles in other worlds.
But this is the world of Montenegro.
The behavior of the dragon beast to extract the world's essence caused the temperature of this world to change quite obviously. Even if the wind does blow, it should be a heat wave at this altitude, not the biting cold wind now.
And this strong wind did not happen overnight.
The dragon beast used some kind of skill to influence the airflow in the Thousand Mountains Stone Forest. It was just a breeze in the first two days, but this change never diminished, but became stronger day by day, and finally turned into the strong wind today.
Against the cold wind that affected her vision, Hong shouted loudly:
"Lindsay, do you think that beast is scared?"
"It knows that I wholeheartedly want to go to Montenegro to kill it, but it doesn't dare to kill me, so it is trying its best to stop us!"
Lindsay also shouted in reply:
"I really can't think of the second possibility!"
"This guy's reaction confirmed our suspicion that he was scared!"
"But I can tell you in advance!" Hong continued to shout, "I will not sacrifice myself to kill the enemy! We have to think about it before arriving in Montenegro."
Snap——
In the cold wind, Hong stepped on a boulder.
She stabilized her body and continued to ask Lindsay questions:
"By the way, don't you have a lot of messy things?"
"Have you prepared the secret trick that can kill that beast?"
Lindsay answered Hong’s first request first:
"Don't worry, I can't sacrifice my comrades just to kill the enemy!"
Hong waited for a few seconds, and then his tone of voice showed a hint of smile:
"I understand what you mean!"
"Sometimes, not answering is an answer!"
The strong wind blocking the advance was obviously summoned by the dragon beast.
Lindsay didn't dare to be careless about this matter, so she started to lie to the cold wave blowing on her face:
"Then I'll tell you honestly, I haven't thought of a way yet."
"Hahaha. You have no idea, right?" Hearing that Lindsay had no idea, Hong became happy, "That's okay, I will fight for it when the time comes, and you can just watch!"
"..."
A week later, the strong wind was still raging in Qianshan Stone Forest.
The dragon beast seemed to realize that a simple strong wind could not stop the progress of the two people, and the temperature in the wind began to drop accordingly.
A few days later, a blizzard came.
The sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were completely white. The snowflakes blown up by the wind were like waves blowing across the beach.
Nothing can be seen now with the naked eye alone.
However, Lindsay has the [Handheld Radar], [Compass] and [Map] skills.
With the power of these gamers, the blizzard has almost no impact on the route.
For Lindsay and Hong, it was a matter of survival.
Such terrible weather made it almost impossible for them to obtain food through hunting. The strong winds that had previously raged here had destroyed all the tall trees, making it more difficult to obtain fuel.
There is almost no difference between night and day.
So after crossing a ravine, Lindsay shouted to Hong:
"Hong, let's stay here a little longer today."
"First dig a tunnel. It doesn't need to be too deep, just two or three meters below the surface!"
Under the heavy white snow.
The fire of the meteorite pickaxe and the cold light of the iron pickaxe flickered.
The two of them quickly entered the ground. Lindsay put a torch at his feet and put a few rocks in his hand directly on his head.
Bang bang bang——
The tunnel is sealed.
Through this not-so-thick layer, the sound of wind and snow outside became small and strange, as if there were demons roaring outside.
Hong Chu held the pickaxe and asked:
"What other crazy ideas did you have today?"
"Prepare resources. If you can't get out in this weather, you won't be able to hold on." Lin Daodao announced his purpose and then began to give instructions, "Now expand this tunnel a little more and dig to the east. I will dig to the west and leave a few pillars in the middle for support. , don’t let it collapse.”
The two awakened ones began to work underground.
Under the sound of waving iron pickaxes, the simple tunnel was dug into a cave, and the area gradually expanded.
Half an hour later.
This underground space is large, with pillars supporting it every few meters, and torches for lighting.
There may still be some shortcomings in the environment, but the atmosphere already has a rare touch of warmth.
Lindsay lit up a simple bonfire, took out her sleeping bag, and shouted to Hong:
"Okay, the place is big enough!"
"You can go and rest first, and I will handle the rest of the work myself."
"..."
Hong threw away the pickaxe and walked directly to the bonfire:
"This is what you said. Don't wake me up later if you can't solve it alone."
"Aha--"
The girl yawned, got into her sleeping bag, and began to rest.
After sending Hong away, Lindsay took a deep breath:
"It's time to start the real work!"
The next work will all rely on the skills of the [Gamer], and there is really no way to ask Hong for help.
The first thing to replenish is water resources.
This task is the simplest. Lindsay dug an infinite pool and easily replenished clean water.
Then there is fuel.
Lindsay took out two seeds, without burying them in the soil or watering them.
He just put the seeds on the ground, touched his right hand on his chest, and the power of the [Forest Brooch] began to work.
Swish, swish, swish——
The ability to promote plant growth took effect, and the two seeds grew and germinated quickly, and soon formed a dense bush.
Compared to resource seeds and then slowly cultivated.
Directly using the [Forest Brooch] for catalysis consumes more source materials, but the efficiency is extremely fast!
After Lindsay cut it down, the fuel was also replenished.
"Finally, it's food."
It's really impossible to rely on hunting in the icy environment.
Although the meat biscuits were unpalatable, they were the dry food that Lindsay used at the last moment.
So just like cultivating plants in a glass greenhouse in a hidden border, Lindsay cultivated farmland in this underground space and planted crops after resource conversion.
"..."
"It still consumes too much source material to convert seeds into resources."
After working for half a day, Lindsay was not tired physically, but mentally a little exhausted, and most of the source material was wasted.
The result was that the seeds of vegetables and staple foods increased several times.
He wiped the sweat off his face and returned to the campfire.
The daily habit of setting up the camp before made Lindsay open the map.
"Ah?"
Suddenly, Lindsay's eyes were stunned.
Because on the expanded map, under the raging wind and snow, several red dots were moving on the surface in the distance!
