Chapter 63 Under the Snow
"..."
"The ceiling is so low."
On the morning of the third day after entering the snowfield, Lindsay opened his eyes from the ground buried in heavy snow.
He doesn't have a fatal hobby of sleeping on the snow at night and blowing in the wind.
So while it was still dark, he dug a snow cave under the thick snow to serve as his short-term shelter.
But before falling asleep, Lindsay clearly remembered the snow cave she dug. The ceiling was about half a meter away from her face. Now after sleeping all night, this gap is still less than half a meter. Although the change is only a few centimeters, it is enough to detect.
"Ha--"
Lindsay sat up and tried to breathe in the snow for a while. The ceiling in front of her was indeed beginning to show signs of ice.
"Every snow cave cannot escape the fate of slowly collapsing?"
After sighing with emotion, Lindsay walked out of the snow cave.
At the edge of the snow cave entrance were steps he dug out, leading to the surface of the snow that was now three meters high. The sled planks he made yesterday were also placed here, but after one night, they were covered with a layer of snow.
Lindsay took out the wooden sled and slapped the snow off it.
He was not in a hurry to set off immediately, but was preparing to replenish his exhausted energy first.
"As usual, sir, let's cook on the fire."
After walking in the snow for a day yesterday, Lindsay's socks were already soaked.
At this moment, while the barbecue was going on, it was time to dry the socks. Lindsay didn't want to continue walking on the snowy field with soaked socks.
Staring at the fire in front of him, Lindsay began to sort out the next plan:
"Two days..."
"According to the agreement with Dan, and calculating the time that may be lost if we go back, I still have two days of activities in the snowfield. If If you're lucky, you might be able to find some wild crops."
Lindsay's purpose in going to the junction of the worlds is clear.
The first is to confirm the information revealed on the tree spirit product interface. In order to protect the safety of the border, this must be confirmed.
Second, Lindsay wanted to see what the world of Montenegro was like.
Even with his current strength, it will definitely be difficult to break through. But it's never a bad thing to do some research before taking action.
"I hope I can gain something... huh?"
Suddenly, Lindsay smelled an unsettling burnt smell.
The ice badger legs roasted on the fire are protected by cooking skills and will basically not burn. So now this smell...
"My socks!"
Lindsay quickly pulled off her socks.
He moved quickly enough, but unfortunately a hole was already burned in it.
Lindsay hadn't learned how to sew, and even if he had, he didn't have the materials to repair his socks.
"I...this...drying socks, can't I be protected by my cooking skills?"
Lindsay was about to cry, but she could make do with putting on her socks first.
Then while he was eating breakfast, he always felt that there was a smell of socks in it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Living in the snow is much more difficult than in the wilderness before.
Lindsay didn't plan to waste any more time at noon today, so she also processed the barbecue for noon in the morning and stuffed it directly into her luggage, just to take it out and eat it when the time came.
Half an hour later, Lindsay set off again.
On the white snowfield, he continued on his way on his homemade wooden sled, and his figure quickly disappeared from the vicinity of the temporary camp last night.
Everything on the lifeless snowfield was dyed white.
Lindsay often had to go several hundred meters to see the pine tree crowns emerging from beneath the snow.
Generally speaking, it is easy to get lost while rushing in such an environment.
Just relying on his ability to judge the direction, Lindsay could not guarantee that he was not going in the wrong direction.
But he is no longer what he used to be.
As long as you activate the [Map] skill and confirm that the arrow that symbolizes you is always facing due east, Lindsay will never get lost!
The time has come into the afternoon.
At this time Lindsay was still looking at the map.
Following the instructions above, he headed due east with determination. But at this moment, Lindsay suddenly felt that the spear he was using as a ski pole touched something hard under the snow.
"What?"
Lindsay was very concerned.
When he set out in the morning, the thickness of the snow had already reached three meters. Now that he has been walking for most of the day, the weather around him is getting colder, and the snow under his feet can only be thicker.
What is it.
Would his spear get stuck at a time like this?
Lindsay was suspicious, so she immediately took action and dug up the snow to see what was underneath.
As a result, he quickly found his goal.
This is a corpse.
It was not a human being, but a fox that was significantly larger than a normal animal. Although it had been frozen to death in the snow, its beautiful fiery red fur was still as bright as when it was alive.
"Warcraft..."
Lindsay slowly revealed the identity of this giant fox.
Without hesitation, he immediately switched the module and checked the information of the corpse in front of him:
[Corpse: Firefox]
[A corpse of a Warcraft fleeing in panic. ]
[ After being frozen for more than two years, the vitality has completely disappeared, and only the fur left can still be sold at a high price. ]
"..."
Lindsay frowned slightly.
The corpse in front of him seemed to hint at the possible crisis ahead.
But he had no idea of wasting resources, and instead tried to use skills to collect prey materials.
The skill was not activated successfully.
The firefox carcass in front of him was not the object of Lindsay's hunting, so it did not meet the prerequisites for material collection.
As for putting the entire firefox carcass into the bag.
Unfortunately, with such a large size and considering the supplies that Lindsay already had, the weight has exceeded the upper limit of the carry-on luggage.
And the most valuable fur on the corpse... This thing was frozen solid in the snow. Lindsay really didn't have any extra time to slowly deal with such a corpse.
"Forget it, it's not like I saw something and had to take it away."
Lindsay shook his head slightly. He clearly understood the importance and decisively gave up on Fire Fox's body and continued to move forward.
What happened next was as expected.
As the location continues eastward, bodies covered in snow appear more frequently.
Lindsay would initially clear away the snow to confirm the identity of the body.
But as the number gradually increased and he found no change, he gave up trying to clear away the snow.
There is not a single beast buried under this snowfield.
They are all monsters whose bodies are fused with source essence!
From the perspective of Lindsay, a young hunter, the strength of these monsters ranges from high to low. Some of them are as weak as ice badgers, but the powerful ones are on the same level as dryads.
Such a large number of magical beasts cannot be bred in a hidden frontier.
The only answer is that a huge crisis is brewing in the world of Montenegro opposite. This caused these monsters to escape desperately, only to die unexpectedly in the snowfield.
At dusk that afternoon.
Suddenly a gust of extremely cold wind blew.
Lindsay looked forward and found nothing in the distance, as if the endless snowfield finally came to an end in front of her eyes.
And this cold wind just appeared.
It also blew straight up from beneath the disappearing ground.
"Finally here!"
At this moment, Lindsay felt clear in her heart.
Less than 100 meters in front of him was the boundary between the Hidden Frontier and the Black Mountain World!
