After two days of trekking, the team finally arrived at the area where Blue Star Grass grows. Huang Feng divided the team into four groups and started looking for Blue Star Grass.
Li Xuan, Li Yong, and Zhao Dazhuang were divided into a group. They walked north along a mountain ridge and soon discovered a clump of blue star grass at the foot of a sheltered hillside.
This discovery made them very excited, and the three of them picked it happily. When all the blue star grass was harvested, a backpack was filled.
"I counted a hundred and thirty plants.
The harvest this time is really good."
Zhao Dazhuang said happily.
Li Yong looked at the slightly hazy sky: "That's it for today. We'll set up camp here to avoid the wind.
Continue tomorrow."
The three of them found a crack in a big rock, collected some dead branches from everywhere, and lit a small bonfire.
At dinner, Li Yong melted some snow water, took out the dry biscuits and rice balls he brought from home and distributed them to Li Xuan and Zhao Dazhuang.
Li Xuan took a few mouthfuls of dry biscuits and found it difficult to swallow. He stood up and said, "I'm going to go pee."
After walking out of the crack between the rocks, a gust of cold wind hit him, and Li Xuan sighed.
If he didn't practice properly, this coldness alone would be enough for him to drink a pot.
"Zhizhi", a black shadow jumped out of the snow nest, it was a ghost.
When Li Xuan went up the mountain, he asked him to follow him from a distance. This guy was not afraid of the cold at all and was very happy in the ice and snow.
"Go catch me a snowshoe rabbit."
Li Xuan ordered.
The ghost squeaked twice and disappeared.
It should be said that this servant is not in vain. He usually helps Li Xuan to collect medicines everywhere, and now he is also helping to find food. He is really an all-round talent.
Oh, no, only ghosts are right! After a while, the ghost came back, and he lived up to his trust, carrying a snowshoe rabbit in his hand.
"Good job."
Li Xuan released a ball of shadow spiritual power from his palm. The ghost happily took it and slipped away to enjoy it.
Li Xuan carried the snow rabbit back to the crack in the rocks and said to Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang: "Dad, uncle, we have meat to eat."
Seeing the snow rabbit in Li Xuan's hand, Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang were stunned. They were very familiar with the situation in the snow mountains and knew that the snow rabbit was particularly cunning and difficult to catch.
Li Xuan had only been out for a while, but why did he catch a snowshoe rabbit?
"How did you catch it?"
Li Yong took the snow rabbit, disemboweled it with a dagger, cut off its four legs, and grilled it on the fire.
"This stupid rabbit was running in the snow and hit a rock outside. Of course I won't let it go."
Li Xuan made up a lie.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Zhao Dazhuang's eyes lit up, "Next time I will find a stone and wait to see if any stupid rabbit hits it."
Li Xuan smiled secretly: Uncle Zhao Dazhuang, don't blame me if you starve.
The snow rabbit soon became fragrant and oily. Li Xuan and the other two started to chew on the rabbit legs. After taking a few bites, Li Xuan suddenly heard a rustling sound outside.
The sound was mixed with the howling wind, making it difficult to distinguish. Neither Li Yong nor Zhao Dazhuang heard it.
Li Xuan sensed the danger approaching, stood up and walked to the edge of the crack in the stone, and took a look outside.
It didn't matter. I saw a snowman with long white fur pacing back and forth outside. Judging from his appearance, he must have been attracted by the smell of roasted snow rabbit.
"Oops."
Li Xuan felt bad.
The snowman is the most difficult monster on the snow-capped mountains and the biggest enemy of the herb collectors.
This kind of monster is extremely powerful, has thick skin and thick flesh, and is difficult to deal with with ordinary weapons.
In particular, he is not afraid of the cold, can climb over mountains and ridges, and is also bloodthirsty and gluttonous. Meeting him is simply a nightmare for herb collectors.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yong asked suspiciously when he saw Li Xuan standing motionless at the crack of the stone.
"I'm going to pee."
Li Xuan whispered and ducked out.
Zhao Dazhuang gnawed on the rabbit leg and shouted to Li Xuan vaguely: "By the way, let's see if there are any rabbits that hit the rocks."
As soon as Li Xuan got out of the crack in the stone, the snowman's two red eyes stared at him.
Li Xuan stared back without showing any signs of weakness. Unfortunately, he has a good figure among humans. Compared with the snowman's huge body, he is really not good enough.
"Ugh!"
The snowman shouted, stepped on the snow with his big feet, and rushed towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan kicked up a ball of snow, turned around and ran away.
He was not afraid of the snowman, but wanted to lure him away so as not to harm Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang.
Snowman has infinite strength but limited IQ. When he saw Li Xuan running away, he immediately chased after him.
He was tall and long-legged, and was good at running in the snow, but he caught up with him in just a moment.
Li Xuan ran a few hundred meters and deliberately slowed down.
Snowman took advantage of Li Xuan's slowdown and rushed forward. He grabbed Li Xuan with two thick arms and held Li Xuan tightly in his arms.
The two arms of the snowman are like iron pliers. A strong hug can exert a thousand kilograms of pressure.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has been using shadow spiritual power to temper his muscles and bones since he was a child, and has already polished his body like a rock. Otherwise, if he hugged her like this, his bones and muscles would be broken immediately.
"This monster is quite difficult to deal with."
Li Xuan was not in a hurry and let the snowman hug him.
The snowman opened his big mouth and bit Li Xuan's head.
Li Xuan shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Beat him!"
Just after hearing a "swish" sound, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the nearby snow nest. It jumped on the snowman's shoulders very nimbly, making a "squeak" sound from its mouth, and desperately tearing at the snowman's hair and ears with its two claws.
.
The snowman was suddenly attacked and was stunned.
Li Xuan took the opportunity to use his strength and violently broke away his thick arm, then turned around and punched him.
Li Xuan's punch was completely powerful. Even if the snowman was thick-skinned, he couldn't withstand it. He was punched in the face by Li Xuan, and his whole face collapsed. Blue blood spattered everywhere and he fell down suddenly.
The ghost jumped off the snowman's head proudly and danced excitedly.
"I'll give you a credit."
Li Xuan gave a thumbs up to the ghost.
"Li Xuan, where are you?
Are you OK!"
The shouts of Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang came.
Li Xuan made a gesture to the ghost, and the ghost got into the snow nest and slipped away.
After the ghost left, Li Xuan responded loudly: "I'm here, I'm fine!"
Li Yong and Zhao Dazhuang emerged from the snow and saw the snowman corpse at Li Xuan's feet.
"How is this going?"
Li Yong's eyes widened and he asked Li Xuan in disbelief.
Li Xuan shrugged: "I accidentally ran into a snowman and had a fight with him.
This guy probably didn't have enough to eat, so I killed him."
"You killed a snowman?"
Zhao Dazhuang has always regarded himself as the best warrior in Vanilla Village, but he has never dreamed of defeating the Snowman.
He walked to the snowman's body and looked carefully. He saw that the snowman's face had been dented and his skull was broken.
