The six teams, after setting off from the tribe, rushed in six directions and quickly disappeared at the end of the white horizon.
And Ye Qiong and Daidai belong to the seventh team...
Ye Qiong still prefers to travel alone with Dadai. In the past few years, he could only sneak out. After all, Ye Tianlong didn't want his son to be taken away by wild beasts.
Later, Ye Qiong was left alone. After all, Ye Qiong's strength was there, and Ye Tianlong could no longer control him. Although Ye Tianlong was worried every time he went out, who made his son careless and love to run outside?
A matter of method.
What's even more irritating is that since two years ago, this kid has been running out without taking anyone with him, and he just leaves whenever he wants!
Although Daidai was reluctant, Daidai couldn't refuse the matter of letting go, and gradually he started to like it. After all, Ye Qiong often caught some monsters and roasted them to eat. Ye Qiong only ate one front calf each time.
All the remaining meat went into Dudu's belly.
When the beast tide came last time, Ye Qiong took Daidai out alone. Fortunately, he told Ronling his destination before leaving, so that Ronling could find him.
This time Ye Qiong brought plenty of dried meat. Behind his back was a special backpack made by Ye Qiong. It had many pockets and contained a bunch of things that the tribesmen regarded as a mess.
Rather than saying it is a backpack, it is actually more like a close-fitting vest. After all, with his size, Daidai is a good candidate for the labor force, and Ye Qiong has cultivated this very well.
It has now been nine months of winter in Snow Star. The time has just passed halfway, which is also a watershed. From this time on, Snow Star has officially begun to enter a crazy countdown...
The long winter!
Above the cruel snow stars, Mother Earth is not so heartless. After the beginning of winter, a very special plant begins to spread and grow from the ground. This plant grows very slowly and slowly grows underground.
It took nine months for it to emerge from the ground.
Edelweiss is a plant that is very cold-resistant. The substance in its body is a substance with an extremely low freezing point, which can survive at more than 30 degrees below zero. Although it is grass, it is gray-white, slightly sweet with a hint of bitterness, and can be eaten.
It is a pity that the number of edelweiss is very rare, and the places where it appears are in extremely cold places, with the average temperature being around minus 15 degrees. There are some places where edelweiss grows in the outer areas of the Dinglong Mountains.
.
Many tribes that are not rich in supplies and food will go out of the tribe at this time to look for edelweiss and hunt scavengers.
It takes a lot of courage to walk out of the tribe's greenhouse under the snow star in the cold winter, because after leaving the tribe, humans wandering outside not only have to face cruel snowstorms and low temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero, but also have to face the cold weather all the time.
Beware of scavenger attacks. While they are hunting scavengers, scavengers are actually hunting them.
If you are unlucky and encounter a beast tide, you will have a narrow escape from death.
The vast majority of humans who left their tribes after nine months of winter never came back...
Only a few teams can collect edelweiss, and if they are lucky, they can hunt a few scavengers.
Ye Qiong was currently riding on Dudu's back, one person and one bear moving forward in the snowy field, not very fast.
There is actually another advantage to bringing Dadu out, that is, you will not get lost. The long-tailed bears on the Snow Planet have evolved some kind of organ that senses magnetic fields in their bodies, and can easily identify the direction.
So every time he came out, Ye Qiong didn't have to worry about getting lost. As long as he stayed by his side, he could find his way back to the tribe.
A very reliable long-tailed bear.
Ye Qiong is now also studying other functions of Daidai. He has discovered that many creatures on this planet actually carry certain special abilities from birth.
The special mucus secreted by the tail of the king lion and elk is one of them.
At this moment, Ye Qiong was lying on Dudu's back, looking at the sky in a daze, and chewing on the king lion and elk jerky in his hand. What I have to say is.
The air-dried meat of King Lion Elk is very fragrant.
While chewing the meat, I looked left and right from time to time. Now I can no longer see the tribe.
Ye Qiong had been lying on Daidai's back, and after pointing the direction to Daidai, he ignored him and walked until dark.
There is also a very practical advantage of taking Dudu out with you, that is, you don’t need to set up a tent...
Because Daidai can dig out a snow cave in ten minutes, and Ye Qiong can lie in Daidai's arms when sleeping at night. It is a natural big heater, and does not need any insulation at all. Relying on Daidai's body temperature, the entire snow cave
The temperature can be maintained above zero degrees Celsius.
The snow cave under the ground is also very safe. If you look at it from a hundred meters away, you can't see any trace at all.
On Snow Star, teams that go out for hunting in winter will not set up tents or the like. Tribes with long-tailed bears will let the long-tailed bears dig holes, while tribes without long-tailed bears can only dig holes manually.
Although it will take some effort, sleeping under the ground is the safest.
A very helpless thing is that if a tent is set up on the ground, a small team of about ten people will be targeted by scavengers in minutes. Some stronger scavengers will take advantage of the night to
They attacked secretly while they were sleeping. As long as three or five of them gathered together, they could wipe out a team of about ten people.
The roles of hunter and prey are constantly changing.
Of course, there are also some powerful humans who deliberately build tents on the snow in order to attract the attention of scavengers and kill them. As the saying goes, the best hunters often appear as prey.
As night fell, the dazzling stars were beautiful and gorgeous. Ye Qiong was lying on the snow waiting for him to dig a hole. He saw that he was like a pangolin, with his claws stretched out, and his fingertips were twenty centimeters long.
Each finger was like a dagger, and the steel bar was forcefully inserted into the snow.
With just one cigarette, Daidai dug a snow hole with a 45-degree downward angle in the snow. The hole was very deep. After Daidai went in, there was still a large empty space. If Daidai usually dug the hole by himself,
It will be smaller, because there is a leaf dome, so Daidai will shrink the entrance of the hole a little, and the inside will be bigger.
The snow cave is behind a small slope and goes against the wind direction, forming an air return flow. After the pressure is reduced, it can effectively maintain heat.
Dudai screamed at Ye Qiong twice, and then got in first.
Ye Qiong was not sleepy at the moment, and ignored Daidai. Instead, he looked at the night sky and started to stare at the night sky. He was thinking about where the earth would be if he were still in the original universe, and how far away it was from him...
…
Just when Ye Qiong was thinking about something, suddenly a bright light flashed in the distance...
