Chapter 1489 Ice Continent
Hokuriku in the first month of the year is still one of the coldest months and is not suitable for traveling, let alone going to sea.
The weather was too cold to travel, so the real group did not go out to catch the northwest wind. Instead, they searched for mushrooms in the mountains. They stayed there for another month, and then set foot on the northward journey in February when the ice and snow first melted.
The real group also stopped occasionally during the trip, turning around and looking for strange things. At the end of March, they also found a plain jungle where mushrooms grew. They dug for mushrooms for half a month, and it was not until early May that they arrived in the north. land coast.
Embarking on a real journey to the sea, the real group headed towards the distant sea.
The sea area of the Hokuriku has a cold climate, making many places uninhabitable. Ordinary people still live on some islands within 50,000 to 60,000 miles away from the coast. Monks occasionally live in scattered places on the islands about 150,000 miles away, and even further away The islands are inaccessible all year round.
In the sea area due north, the islands about 500,000 miles away from the coast are the land where ice and snow never melt all year round. Each small island only exposes a little land for one or two months a year. Further away, In the area of about 600,000 miles, all the islands are Iceland.
The real group traveled through offshore areas where humans settled, often stopping at certain islands to catch crabs, shrimps and fish from the north, collect spiritual plants, etc.
Whether it is river fresh food or seafood, the north and the south have their own characteristics. The fish and shrimps in the southern seas have the unique varieties and flavors of the south. The fish, shrimps and crabs of the northern seas have the unique varieties and flavors of the north. Even though a lot of seafood has been collected , the real-life groups are still hoarding goods vigorously.
Classmate Le Xiao went to an area where penguins lived and became a thief again. He stole a dozen penguins of various species, stunned them and froze them in a special box to put them in the star core space.
Moving and stopping, it took the real group a year to reach the open sea area about 13 million miles away from the mainland, and also reached the ice continent in the north.
The sea water around the ice continent is covered with thick ice. The ice is more than ten feet thick and does not melt all year round. The land is all ice. Icebergs and ice sheets. The ice on the plains is several thousand to tens of thousands of feet thick. The tallest iceberg is as high as More than 40,000 feet.
The daytime temperature in the ice continent also reaches below minus 90 degrees in summer, and the night temperature is below minus 130 degrees; in winter, the daytime temperature also reaches as low as below minus 100 degrees.
The temperature in the Ice Continent is low and there are frequent storms. The climate is so harsh that even ordinary ice bears and ice geese cannot adapt to the extreme weather. Only ice bears or ice geese who have developed spiritual intelligence and are sent to the Demon King level or above can do so. In the summer, go to the Ice Continent to choose a place to practice in a cave.
Therefore, the ice continent in the far north of Dongchen Continent has no inhabitants, and is an out-of-this-world place that humans and beasts rarely set foot on.
The real team arrived at the ice continent around summer, selected a large plain, dug a large hole in the lee of an iceberg next to the ice field, and built an ice house like an ice cellar. They spread plant leaves on the ice floor, and then spread a layer of grass. Then the man-made caves were put in.
After the real team built the ice house, they started work in full swing. They first cut off seven or eight ice peaks of 5,000 to 6,000 feet, and also filled a medium-to-large cave. After that, they dug the ice in the area with the thickest ice on the plain. , chiseling out ice cubes.
The real team first removed the top layer of ice, and then collected the ice cubes after digging to a depth of less than 5,000 feet. They cut the ice into square cubes and installed them in the large cave built by the Five Sects for the little fairy. Inside.
The weather is so bad that the real-person team also implements a nine-to-five work system. They work on cutting the ice during the day and end their work in the evening and go back to the ice house to rest.
Mr. Le Xiao spent most of his time in the cave inside the ice house making spiritual food or home-cooked stir-fries, marinating fish meat for making bad fish and smoked fish, or marinating animal meat.
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, not to mention she is a little loli who is always particular about not owing any favors. The real people are cutting ice for her. As a beneficiary, she naturally cannot wrong the real people and cook a meal for everyone every day. Sometimes it’s spiritual food, sometimes it’s home-cooked stir-fry.
This little loli from the earth may not be as good at cutting ice as a real person, but she is an expert at cooking. The meals she cooks vary from month to month. Even if they are stewed grouse with mushrooms or stewed hog meat, they can still make the same meal. Different flavors.
It takes a lot of energy and physical strength for real people to cut ice. They return to the ice house every day to have a good meal and then recover quickly. Every day they are as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
The ice on the plains of the Ice Continent has accumulated for countless tens of millions or billions of years. The ice is as hard as stone. When the ice is dug to a depth of 57,800 feet, the ice shows signs of petrification.
The real people continued to dig happily, more enthusiastic than treasure hunting, and dug to a depth of 65,600 feet. The ice turned into ice jade, and the texture was not very stable. It could be used as a sculpture or artwork, but if it was made into a tool, , the service life is relatively short.
Digging four to five thousand feet further, the ice jade is as hard as jade.
After digging out the ice jade stone, the real people were extremely happy. They collected it quietly and decided to ask the little fairy for credit after finishing the work.
The real group just ran back to the ice house, and before they could take a breath, Jin Maohou came close to the little one, regardless of the treasure offerings: "Little one, take a look, is this jade of the same quality as your ice jade jar? "
When the Golden Retriever held up a large piece of white jade with an icy texture, the five sects realized that something was not good, and the Golden Retriever took the opportunity again!
"Wow, did you really dig up ice jade?" Seeing the waxy ice jade, Le Yun almost jumped up in surprise. Is there really ice jade under the ice of the ice continent?
"Isn't it strange? The ice on the ice continent is hundreds of millions of years old, so there must be ice jade." The
real group looked calm and calm on the surface. In order to surprise the little fairy, when they dug out the jade ice, Hiding the good news, I just wanted to wait for the real ice jade to be dug to make the little fairy happy.
"Uncles and brothers are so amazing. They were able to find ice jade hidden tens of thousands of feet deep. It's amazing!" She just wanted to collect enough ice to bring back the ice ball, but she didn't expect the real people to give her a surprise.
The real people who were praised for their greatness maintained the image of immortals who were not surprised by the favor. They all smiled and said that it was normal to dig up ice jade. There was jade hidden under the ice continent.
In order to reward the real people for their hard work, Le Xiao's classmate made a rich meal as a thank you gift the next day. Everyone had a delicious spiritual food meal, which was so delicious that they were so delicious.
With the goal in mind, the real group began to dig into the ice. At first, they only dug an ice cave with a radius of less than ten miles on the plain. After finding ice jade, they expanded the mine to more than a few hundred miles wide.
When digging, the principle is still maintained. The shallow ice layer on the surface is removed, and only the deep ice is collected. After collecting a lot of the petrified ice jade layer, the ice jade is dug again.
The real group stayed in the ice continent for a whole year and collected a large amount of ice. The ice jade they excavated filled several large storage containers.
The amount of ice and ice jade harvested was enough. The real team threw the removed ice and snow back into the mine, and then used the swallowing snails to fill the pit with seawater several times.
After erasing all human traces, the real group rested for two days before embarking on their return journey.
