Chapter 138 Snow Season
Chapter 138 Snow Season
"Um……"
Su Qing sat up slowly, lifted the quilt and found that Qi Jiang was not in the cave, but there were some noises from the cave entrance.
"Brother Jiang?" he shouted while standing up and getting dressed.
"I'm here!" Qi Jiang yelled inside with a smile, turned his head and continued to dig the tunnel with a snow shovel expressionlessly.
This blizzard only lasted for one day, but it brought much more snow than the previous one. The 400-meter-thick snow almost buried the hill they chose in the snow.
Su Qing put on his shoes and walked out, and when he saw the snow outside, he let out a cry of surprise: "Why did you bury the entrance of the cave in just one day?"
"It's only half buried." Qi Jiang pushed the snow up with a snow shovel, "Why don't you sleep more?"
"I've slept for too long." Su Qing took out the snow shovel to help. After shoveling for a while, he suddenly found that the cave wall of the passage seemed to have been roasted by fire just now. The cave wall was dry, hard and hot, like a stove. of.
Seeing his movements, Qi Jiang pulled his hand back and patted the dirt on it lightly: "It's too dirty, why did you touch it without gloves?"
"I don't think it's too cold." Su Qing took his hand back and continued to shovel the snow.
After becoming stronger, they are more resistant to cold and heat. Even if the temperature has exceeded minus one hundred degrees, Qi Jiang doesn't need to wear a flame down jacket, the clothes on his body are very thin.
Su Qing's current cultivation base and awakening state are inferior to Qi Jiang's, but he doesn't need to wrap himself up tightly now, he doesn't need to wear scarves and gloves, even he wears a down jacket in a very ordinary style, It's just a cloak wrapped around it.
After shoveling for a while, a passage leading to the top of the snow was made, and Qi Jiang put away his snow shovel: "I'm going to cook."
Su Qing thought for a while and had nothing else to do. Standing on the snow and looking at the unobstructed white snow, the desire to stockpile came up again: "Then I'll go and collect some snow, and I won't help you."
Qi Jiang couldn't help showing a smile, nodded slightly and turned back to the cave, not forgetting to say: "Then don't go too far."
"it is good!"
After eating, they put away the beds, kitchen utensils and other things in the cave, and quickly left this place to continue to the ocean.
The quiet time after the snowstorm was shorter than before. Not long after they set off, there was light snow in the sky again, and the wind slowly picked up.
There are big changes after every major earthquake, and it is not surprising that the quiet time becomes shorter, so Su Qing and the others don't think it's a big deal.
After flying about 10,000+ kilometers further, they finally found a familiar mountain range, but unfortunately, this mountain range became thousands of times larger. If they hadn't been to the charcoal forest on the main peak, the two Didn't even recognize it.
This mountain range was originally not far from their new home, but they could only get here after flying so far. It would take a long time to find their new home.
The value of the new home to them is not worth their time to find. If Jin Jin was at home, they would definitely go back, but Jin Jin has already been lost by them.
Under the great expansion, they were so far away that they didn't know where to find Jin Jin, and the two of them just stopped here for a while before moving on.
The sea was far away from them, and it took them a whole week to reach the coast after the storm.
The complete and spectacular ice sculptures on the sea have become fragmented due to the great expansion. Many ice sculptures have been forced to be cut. The ice sculptures that were originally a whole are now separated by tens of thousands of miles or even farther away, just like a complete jigsaw puzzle. Same.
When they came to the beach, Su Qing and Qi Jiang landed on the ground. The two of them looked at the vast and boundless sea, and they didn't know where to go for a while.
"Susu, what do you think?" Qi Jiang didn't know how to make up his mind, so he could only look at Su Qing, "Do you want to go forward or walk around the coastline on the left and right?"
"The two human settlements we know so far are not near the seaside, and there is no hope of meeting people by walking around the coastline." Su Qing was a little confused, "But under the great expansion, it is not realistic for us to cross the ocean."
Su Qing's entanglements are exactly the same as Qi Jiang's, and he doesn't know how to find the human gathering place.
"Huh." Qi Jiang let out a sigh of relief, and struggled for a while before making up his mind, "Go into the sea, follow the ocean current, and you will always find the next piece of land."
The sudden appearance of the ocean had already isolated Fengcheng from other cities, and the place where they were located was likely to be a piece of divided land.
Even if it is not, you can find land by following the ocean current, and it is impossible to get lost at sea.
"Okay." Su Qing didn't have any objections, "It just so happens that my next magic weapon also points to the ocean. If fate comes, maybe I can find it this time. There are so many unowned treasures in the ocean, and we can use them to fill the small treasury. "
Qi Jiang didn't care much about the other unowned treasures, but when he made his decision, he really wanted to help Su Qing find the next part of his ice magic weapon along the way.
He also had a vague premonition that he and Su Qing needed to know more about the sea and the world.
In any case, it's time for them to look elsewhere in the world.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang directly dug an ice cave into the sea. Flying in the sky will be blocked by snow and it is still cold. They are afraid of hitting an iceberg and dare not fly too fast, but entering the sea is like returning home to them. .
You don’t need to wear thick clothes, you don’t have to worry about your sight being blocked, and you can swim as fast as you want.
They stayed in the sea for many days, and the sea, which had few sea creatures, became even fewer after the great expansion. They have not encountered a living creature these days, not even small fish and shrimp.
But precisely because there were no other living beings, the spiritual creatures that appeared with the great expansion failed to find their owners, and Qi and Su who passed by took a lot of money.
They don't even know how many spiritual objects they have obtained. Although most of them are not suitable for them, the journey is too boring, and being able to pick up some spiritual objects is one of the few pleasures they have in the lonely deep sea.
In addition, they passed through many areas where blizzards were ravaged, because they were just under the ice, and the blizzard did not bother them, and even the cold wave did not pose any threat to them in the sea.
On this day, the stars sprinkled the earth.
Su Qing is very sensitive to light. Although he was in the deep sea, he didn't miss the tiny light shining through the ice.
At the moment when the starlight entered the sea, Su Qing, who was picking up spiritual objects in the trench, suddenly raised his head and shouted in the direction of Qi Jiang: "Brother Jiang, there is light coming down from above."
Qi Jiang, who came out of the sea cave with a ring that he didn't know what to do, raised his head to look at the ice layer, and indeed he could vaguely see some light shining from above.
"Go and have a look." Qi Jiang casually threw the ring into the Qiankun bag, "Let's go!"
The further upstream, the more obvious the starlight is. Now the ice layer is hundreds of meters thick, but Su Qing can feel the fluctuation of dark matter in the fine starlight.
His eyes lit up, he looked at Qi Jiang, seeing the shock in Qi Jiang's eyes, he was sure that his feeling was right, and immediately stretched out his hand to make an ice hole in it.
thump!thump!
Two figures jumped out of the ice cave, the huge temperature difference made Su Qing sneezed a few times, but luckily he put on a down jacket before he came out, so he didn't catch a cold.
The wind and snow above have stopped at some point, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly, illuminating the vast world of ice and snow, and the icebergs, ice sculptures, and ice surfaces on the ice can be seen at a glance.
It was as if the day had come.
Under the starlight, the world of ice and snow looks magnificent and beautiful, but this is not what Su Qing and Qi Jiang are most concerned about.
What they care about is dark matter stirred up by starlight.
Amidst the fluctuations of dark matter, Su Qing couldn't help but sit down cross-legged, took out a few water-type animal pills, and absorbed the spiritual power and dark matter inside with a few clicks.
Qi Jiang next to him was the same as him. Both of them raced against time to seize this rare opportunity to comprehend dark matter, and to understand the inheritance deep in their blood at a deeper level.
The starlight came suddenly and disappeared without a sound.
The starlight that made the world as bright as day lasted for less than half an hour before disappearing. After the last starlight left, the sky began to snow again, but Su Qing and Qi Jiang, who were meditating on the ice, remained motionless.
Gradually, two snowmen appeared on the ice, and the strong wind blew across the ice, and the dangerous smell of the coming blizzard woke up the snowmen who were in epiphany.
Susu!
Bai Xue was shaken off, Qi Jiang stood up with some regrets, and at the same time smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Su Qing who was sighing aside.
"The fate is over, we have already picked up a big deal." Qi Jiang casually injected a wave of spiritual power into the ice, and a huge wave rushed up from below, creating an ice hole with a powerful impact.
"Oh, it's a pity to have my epiphany interrupted because I got a big deal." The more Su Qing thought about it, the more angry he became, "If I knew it, I wouldn't be meditating on the ice. broken."
Although he was annoyed, he didn't dwell on it, he just complained to Qi Jiang.
They really picked up a big deal this time, and the value of this epiphany is even more precious than the spiritual objects they picked up during this time.
Because of this, they finally know what dark matter is.
Dark matter is the law, which is the fundamental law of the operation of a world. Now that the world is changing, the way of heaven has lowered the threshold for all living beings to understand the law, but even if it is lowered again, not everyone can understand it. That's why dark matter is so difficult to use.
The two ways of mutation and cultivation actually rely on the operating rules of the power of law, and what needs to be mastered in the end is also the power of law.
Whoever can get in touch with the law in advance will be able to embark on a broad road.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang have never given up on the research on dark matter. They seized the opportunity under the starlight this time, and they finally succeeded in getting started. Finally, they were able to borrow a little bit of the power of law.
Although it was only a little bit, it was stronger than any of their previous methods, and it also successfully helped them dig out some secrets hidden deep in the blood.
In fact, for the bloodline of the king, what can be mobilized after each awakening is only the superficial ability of the bloodline, which is the most basic and simplest ability. In fact, there are more inheritance methods hidden deep in the power of the bloodline. Get a glimpse of the truth.
However, the methods of inheritance in the depths of the blood are generally excavated after nine awakenings. Now they have seized the opportunity given by the heavens, and the entry rules can overtake so many corners in advance.
In short, they have benefited so much this time, they can't count them, and they can't explain them clearly, but both of them are very happy, and it's just a pity that their epiphany was interrupted.
There were two plops of water entering the ice cave, and the two people walked through the water like torpedoes. Not long after they left, the ice cave that had just been opened was frozen again.
They stayed in the water for another two or three days, and there was a faint smell of blood coming from ahead. The two looked at each other, grabbed the spiritual creature that had just been dug up, and swam forward.
There was a group of penguins and walruses on the ice in front of them. Noisy voices came from the ice, and the sound of footsteps was mixed with a penetrating animal roar.
Walruses and penguins plopped into the water from the ice caves. Among the dense ice caves, half a walrus was stuck in one of the ice caves. Blood flowed into the sea along the mouth of the cave. The surrounding penguins and walruses were all terrified. Stay away from that place.
When Su Qing and the others came over, these marine creatures that were still staying nearby and were about to return to the ice after the hunters left immediately dispersed.
The above is a mutated polar bear with two cubs that look like they have just been born. The size is about half of the size before, and the appearance has not changed much, but the claws and teeth look very sharp, and they can easily dig on the ice. Come out a big hole.
After the mother bear made sure that there was no danger around, she put the cub under her stomach to nurse, and at the same time squatted next to the corpse to eat.
Before taking a few bites, Su Qing and the others approached the ice cave, and the breath spread out along the ice cave.
"Hoo!"
The mother bear, who was immersed in eating, suddenly looked at the ice hole vigilantly, moved her nose slightly, and noticed two extremely dangerous auras, immediately picked up the two cubs that were still eating, threw them on her back, and left very simply.
Su Qing, who was just a little curious at first, stayed where he was, and looked at the walrus corpse that no one cared about: "I haven't met a living thing in so many days, why did we all run away as soon as we came?"
Looking out from the ice cave, Qi Jiang felt that the wind and snow were not too heavy: "Do you want to follow up to see? There may be land nearby."
The reason why it is possible is because he is not sure whether the living habits of these animals have changed much after mutation.
The penguins, walruses, and polar bears he knew before all breed on land. Now he has not found cubs among the walruses and penguins, but the polar bears are bringing their own children. It stands to reason that the land should not be far from here.
However, Qi Jiang was not too sure. After all, the polar bears in the past would not go out with their newborn cubs, so they could only say to go and see.
"Then follow along." Su Qing also wanted to take a look.
In order not to scare the mother bear, they did not leave the sea, but followed carefully under the ice.
The hunting range of the mother bear is much larger than they imagined. After abandoning the previous walrus carcass, she immediately took her cubs to find new prey.
Many prey were scattered due to expansion, and the mother bear had to travel long distances for each hunt, and it took another day for her to feed herself and her cubs.
But the strange thing is that the next mother bear did not go to land, but came to an iceberg with her cubs.
Su Qing and the others didn't dare to get close to the iceberg, but half an hour later, they faintly heard a third cry of a more immature cub coming from the iceberg.
Qi Jiang couldn't help frowning, feeling a little disappointed: "This polar bear doesn't seem to have given birth on land."
Moreover, after she gave birth to two children, she still continues to give birth, which is completely different from the habits of polar bears in the past.
"We can find some broken ice sculptures along the way. Did the pregnant bear mother accidentally leave the land during the expansion? She didn't have enough energy reserves to take the cubs out to find food and want to come back to continue giving birth?" Su Qing guessed quietly.
"Then do you think she will find land after giving birth and go back?"
Su Qing was silent for a while, and finally decided to wait. If Mother Bear doesn't leave tomorrow, then they can only find land by themselves.
Fortunately, it was useless for Mama Bear to disappoint them in the end.
After giving birth to the third cub, the mother bear completed her production tasks, and ran quickly in the strong wind with the three cubs in her mouth when the wind was a little lighter the next day.
Qi Jiang and Su under the ice layer had finished exploring the nearby sea early in the morning, and now they were taking a nap under the ice layer bored.
Realizing that Mama Xiong was about to leave, Qi Jiang immediately pushed Su Qing who was sleeping a bit: "Susu, Mama Xiong is leaving, hurry up and follow."
Su Qing woke up suddenly, he just fell asleep, heard Qi Jiang's voice and immediately followed, yawning and patting his cheeks to cheer himself up.
This time, the mother bear's speed is very fast, two or three times faster than when she was looking for prey before. Sometimes she can use the power of the wind, and the fastest time can reach more than 1000 kilometers per hour.
Two days later, Qi Su, who followed Mother Bear, finally found some familiar sea creatures in the sea.
"It seems that the whole area bordering the land has been squeezed." Qi Jiang found a seamount they had been to before, "Look over there."
Su Qing also saw it, and his mood was a bit complicated: "I thought that the lack of marine life on the road was due to the expansion, which caused them to scatter everywhere. We were unlucky and couldn't come across it. I didn't expect that the whole area had moved here."
In fact, they also found many signs of life on the road, but because they had existed, they thought that the marine life had left.
But they didn't expect the fact to be so beyond their expectations.
In places far from the mainland, marine life continued to thrive here, and major earthquakes and expansions did not bring much change to their lives except to make them stronger.
It may be because the ice layer and the seawater are not considered as one. When it expands, many ice layers and ice sculptures are fragmented, and many creatures are scattered everywhere, but even if they are scattered, they are not far away from here.
At that time, the question came, why did there appear traces of life in other sea areas without marine life?
Neither Qi Jiang nor Su Qing knew the answer, but they remembered this question in their hearts, and vaguely felt that it had something to do with the emergence of the new world.
They continued to follow the mother bear, and found many seals, fur seals, penguins and other creatures along her route. The mother bear did not take her eyes off of this, and brought her cubs all the way to a safer land.
Where the land is located is a land bridge in the sea that stretches for an unknown number of kilometers. The land bridge is raised high to form an archipelago, and there are some connected lands between the islands.
From their position, the deepest water level of this land bridge is only about [-] meters. As long as they can swim, they can swim from one island to another.
There are also some sea caves of different sizes under the land bridge connecting the opposite sea area, which looks like a corridor in the sea.
This is nature's masterpiece.
The two involuntarily approached the land bridge, carefully shuttled through the sea cave, and the mother bear, who had lost their attention for a long time, returned safely to her original territory.
The land bridge has no end in sight, but it provides shelter for marine life.
I don't know if it was because of the blessing of the earthquake, or because there were islands and some creatures here, or because of other reasons, the number and types of creatures here are several times more than what they saw when they entered the sea last time.
Not only that, these marine creatures are also keenly aware of the recovery of plants. Originally, many herbivorous creatures ate soil, dead grass and the like. Although they would not starve to death because of dark matter, they would grow stronger. When the new grass appeared, the herbivorous creatures in the sea were no longer willing to eat mud, and sometimes even fought for a bite of grass.
Because of these fights, the sea is no longer lonely, but very lively.
Su Qing picked up a dead seaweed on the sea and observed it carefully: "Brother Jiang, the energy on it has decreased a lot."
Qi Jiang took it over and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the case: "It seems that they fight not just for a fresh bite."
The energy that can supply herbivorous organisms in the dead grass and soil is disappearing, and their once-altered diet will change again.
However, this is actually a good thing, at least the world will become much more normal.
"Let's find a place to rest first." Su Qing looked at the bustling sea area and smiled slightly, "Don't dig caves."
Qi Jiang understood that he was reluctant to destroy the environment here, and nodded slightly: "Then shall we rest on land?"
"In the sea." Su Qing listened to the noisy voices on the land, and sighed slightly, "It's noisy and crowded up there, but it's more comfortable in the sea."
"Then go rest in the sea cave, it's quiet there." Qi Jiang pointed to a sea cave where they once settled.
Su Qing had no objection, and followed Qi Jiang through the fish school into the sea cave.
Afraid of being discovered by the bear mother, they subconsciously restrained their aura, so when they passed by, these sea creatures did not find anything wrong, only some sea animals with better eyesight and memory left this sea area silently.
All the creatures in the sea cave were driven out by Qi Jiang, he probably cleaned it once, then blocked the entrance of the cave, and lay down with Su Qing to rest in it.
The two were like fish, sleeping motionless in the water until they woke up naturally.
After waking up, they solved their eating problems directly in the sea as before. After all, there is a protective film around their bodies, and they don't worry about the food getting wet.
After eating, they set off again.
One end of the land bridge was obviously the continent they came from. Since they were going to the outside world, they naturally chose the other end.
They sneaked all the way under the land bridge, passed through many sea areas on the way, saw many different creatures, and experienced many things.
In January of the following year, a ray of sunshine tore away the darkness covering the whole world.
The polar night is over.
It was also on this day that a major earthquake came again, and the seeds in the soil germinated one after another, growing rapidly under the birth of dark matter.
This earthquake lasted for three full days, but this time other races did not receive the blessing of heaven and earth, only plants could receive this gift.
Many whites on the planet are replaced by green, many places become jungles, and many places become grasslands, and many places show the characteristics of deserts without any grass, or become wilderness where green is hard to see.
The world has changed again, and plants have returned to the battlefield.
Of course, no matter how many plants there are, the ice and snow that originally covered the whole world will not disappear. The white snow still remains in this world, but it is strongly covered by the "new favorite" plants.
The sun brought high temperature, the low temperature of the ice and snow world rose rapidly under the sun, the snow began to melt, and the thick ice layer melted and cracked under the fierce sunlight.
In some places, the snow is melting extremely fast, but in others, the snowstorm has not stopped, and even the sun has not caused the temperature to rise.
In this new world, after the differentiation of the environment, the differentiation of the weather also follows.
At the same time, the dark matter that has completed the transformation of the world disappeared without a trace in the air, and only some special spiritual creatures left traces that dark matter once existed.
