Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 246 Sky Frost Mountain Range
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly.

After the three days of heavy snowfall, the sky here is extremely clear, with not a single cloud in sight.

The majestic Tianshuang Mountains are like a prostrate frost dragon, with no head and tail, only undulating and winding ridges.

The blue-black mountain is like the scales of a giant dragon, most of which are covered by thick snow, making the whole mountain looming.

The strong sunlight shone on the white snow and reflected back, enough to dazzle the eyes of ordinary people.

This is the so-called snow blindness. Fortunately, the physique of the evolutionary can be completely immune to snow blindness.

It's just that the eyes are always white, and it's unavoidable to be monotonous after a long time.

There is also the strong wind that is always blowing in the ear.

But there is no way, the wind in the mountains will basically never stop, especially after the end of the world.

At the moment, Chen Xuan and the four people from Orion Village are walking on the winding mountain road.

Except for Chen Xuan, the other four were all dressed in slightly yellowish white animal skin clothes, with bows and arrows on their backs, and a quiver and a wooden basket behind them.

At the same time, their hands were not empty, each holding a different weapon.

Some are forks, some are spears, and some are broadswords. The only thing they have in common is that the key parts of these weapons are made of pure ice, crystal clear and sparkling in the sun.

These four people are all good hunters in Orion Village. Not only are they rich in hunting experience, but they are also quite strong. Among them, Chen Xuan is the shortest.

The leader is called Basang, the oldest of the four people in the same company, in his 30s, and also the leader of this operation. The investigation and exploration of the route are basically deployed by Basang.

At this time, several people were talking about something, but if you listened carefully, you would find that everyone seemed to be talking with their throats choked.

It seemed very unnatural to speak like this, and it was necessary to mention a very important rule that Chen Xuan was told before entering the Tianshuang Mountains.

The most taboo thing in the Tianshuang Mountains is talking loudly.

Because the mountains here are very steep, and in addition to the frequent snowfall after the end of the world, the snow accumulation has increased, and the probability of avalanches has become higher and higher.

A little carelessness may trigger a big avalanche and end up buried alive.

According to Basang and the others, there used to be a few teenagers whose voices were a little louder in the snow, causing an avalanche on the spot. In the team of eight, only two survived.

Not only humans are afraid of avalanches, but also beasts in the deep mountains are also afraid of avalanches.

Under the power of nature, even the most powerful creatures cannot fight against it.

Therefore, the entire Tianshuang Mountain Range remained quiet and solemn most of the time.

Although it was not very convenient to talk because of such restrictions, Chen Xuan and the others still had a lot of chats along the way.

As the aborigines of the Tianshuang Plateau, Basang and others have inherited the characteristics of local people's hospitality.

Especially after they got acquainted with Chen Xuan, they wished they could tell Chen Xuan all about their family background.

And Chen Xuan also learned a lot about Orion Village and Tianshuang Mountain Range during the chat.

First of all, it is the weapon used by the villagers of Orion Village.

When hunting, the weapons used by the villagers of Orion Village are mostly bows and arrows and long-handled weapons produced in the village.Although there is no strong industrial means, Orion Village has the natural advantage of being backed by the Tianshuang Mountains, so most of the materials are taken from the mountains.

One of the most common and readily available materials is ice.

Perhaps due to the extremely low ambient temperature, the ice cubes in the Tianshuang Mountains are much harder and sharper than the common ice cubes before the end of the world.Therefore, Orion Village will specially organize people to carry the ice back, and then carve and build it uniformly.The sharpened ice blades are as sharp as metal, and Orion Village will use these ice blades for key parts of sharp weapons.

For the villagers of Orion Village, almost everyone has a set of ice weapons, which are the standard equipment for hunting.This is exactly what Chen Xuan and his party brought with them when they entered the mountain.

There are also some weapons that will be made of animal materials, such as using the tendons of snow foxes to support the bowstring of the bow.Some of these weapons use rarer materials, such as snow wolf fangs and fangs with snake venom.Because this material is more difficult to obtain, weapons made of animal materials are not available to ordinary people.

Another point that Chen Xuan is very interested in is their evolution process.This also solved the confusion in Chen Xuan's heart at the beginning.

People here will also feel painful tearing when their physique is advanced, but the difference from Chen Xuan's cognition is that their advanced process is extremely long, and it is slower than the people on the North Wind Plateau. Takes much longer.

According to the speculation of the psionicists, this seems to be due to the influence of frost energy.The psionicist can discover through sensing that the colder the area, the more soothing and viscous the mutated energy, which is the so-called "spiritual energy".

In the eyes of people on Tianshuang Plateau, advancement is the process of reconciling with the energy in the body.Therefore, the villagers of Orion Village who are located at the foot of the extremely cold Tianshuang Mountains all the year round, the energy in their bodies is combined with the energy of frost, which is not as tyrannical as ordinary people.

However, although the energy will not suddenly counterattack the body due to being too violent and cause the body to explode and die, the pain suffered will not be reduced at all.

As a result, although their evolutionary process was painful, the success rate was astonishingly high. Only a very few people would die suddenly because they couldn't bear it.

Also, these creatures in the Tianshuang Mountains are divided into three grades according to their size.

Small, medium and large.

Small creatures, such as snow rabbits and snow foxes, are not very big. Even the largest snow fox only looks like a big dog.

There is also a magical snow bug called the snow bug.

It is called so because this creature is like a bug during the day, but at night it becomes a plant-like existence, much like Cordyceps sinensis.

There are gossip that the snow bug can greatly enhance the quality of the human body.

However, snow worms generally live underground, so it is not very convenient to find them, and not many people have seen them.

These small creatures are what they hunt most.

And medium-sized creatures are not easy to mess with, such as snow wolves and snow sheep, which are about the size of a pre-apocalyptic cow, and most of them are herd creatures.

These guys can be said to be the most dangerous species, especially the snow wolf, which is quite ferocious and often attacks hunting villagers.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the residents of Orion Village walk around them.

Unless you run into a single person, but this is a rare situation.

And finally, there are large creatures. Large creatures usually appear alone. In addition to the electric yak mentioned earlier, there is also a snow eagle that everyone is guarding against.

There are almost no flying creatures on the plateau.

But if there is, then you don't have to think about it, it's definitely not a simple guy.

Snow Eagle is such a special existence. Although Snow Eagle is called Snow Eagle, its coat color is not snow white, but silver gray.

And according to the description of Basang and others, the size of Snow Eagle will definitely not be smaller than that of Black Feathered Giant Eagle.

If he really encountered a snow eagle, he would either hide in a cave, or quickly dig a snow pit and bury himself, praying that he would not be found.

Fortunately, Basang's experience is extremely seasoned. Under his leadership, the group did not encounter any medium-sized or large-scale creatures along the way.

However, I encountered some plump snow rabbits.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Xuan saw the snow rabbit for the first time, he thought it was a little pig with a layer of rabbit fur.

He really couldn't believe it.

How can there be such a fat rabbit?

And what puzzled him was that such a fat snow rabbit could still jump up, and the movements were not very slow.

However, when these snow rabbits meet a group of experienced hunters, the fate is self-evident.

When Chen Xuan and the others came near Xuehan Peak, there were more or less harvests in the wooden baskets behind them.

Chen Xuan didn't take any action from beginning to end. Although these snow rabbits were interesting, they still couldn't attract him.

Instead, he was curious about the way the villagers of Orion Village hunted.

Basang and others generally kill their prey by archery, and the long-handled weapons in their hands are only used as crutches and self-defense.

It is always windy in the mountains, archery should not be easy.

Therefore, during the hunting process, Chen Xuan has been carefully observing their archery methods.

Although the movements of Basang and the others were rough and the posture of drawing the bow was quite heroic, the posture of aiming and the key to exerting force were exactly the same as those archery essentials that he had learned on the North Wind Plateau.

It seems that any technology developed to the extreme will go to the same end.

As for the way they shoot their prey, they also rely on their judgment on the direction of the wind and their control over the force of the wind.

This kind of experience and skill cannot be learned overnight.

Or, like the super ancient strongman I saw before, forming a terrifying momentum.

Now that he has learned psychic power, he seems to be gradually approaching that goal.

……

after an hour.

"Xue Hanfeng is right in front of you, everyone cheer up, and don't let go of any movement."

Basang paused, turned his head suddenly, and said softly to the others.

Probably because he was afraid that everyone could not hear clearly, he also used hand gestures to help everyone pay attention to the situation around him.

And Chen Xuan was refreshed.

It's finally here.

The landforms of Xuehan Peak are similar to other places in the Tianshuang Mountains. They are dark blue steep mountain walls with thick snow and sharp ice tips.

There are also some thick cedars on the mountain wall, which are deeply inserted in the ice wall.

It's just that the terrain here seems to be flatter than other places. Do yaks that can generate electricity live in such an environment?
Along the way, apart from chatting quietly with Basang and the others, Chen Xuan also kept listening to various sounds in the air.

There is a vast expanse of white everywhere in the mountains. It would be fine if the appearance color of the creature is different, but if the color of the creature is the same as that of the snow, it will be difficult to detect it with the naked eye.

Therefore, it is more effective to listen to the sound to identify the position than to inspect carefully.

And Chen Xuan also wanted to try to see if he could find the location of the electric yak in this way.

According to the head of Danba village, electric yaks are very rare. Even those who go hunting in the mountains all day have seen electric yaks very few times.

Meeting an electric yak is really luck, but it's not necessarily good luck.

However, Chen Xuan felt that this was only due to underdeveloped detection methods.

He didn't want to have to go back and forth between Tianshuang Mountains and Orion Village.

Since he once heard the sound of electric eels discharging underwater, he may also be able to hear some of the sounds made by yaks, which are also charged creatures.

In fact, he did hear it, but what he heard was an echo.

The huge valley is a natural echoing wall, and any sound will interfere with the steering. Although Chen Xuan can hear the sound of the yak, he cannot pinpoint its location.

This is really a headache.

But he never gave up trying.

As they gradually approached Xuehan Peak, the voice gradually became clearer. It was certain that the Danba Village Chief's judgment was correct, and that the electric yak should be in this area.

However, the voice he heard at this moment was a little strange.

The "sizzling sound" of the current seems to be getting closer and closer, which is not an effect that an echo can produce.

Could it be that the electric yak is nearby?

According to Danba Village Chief's description, the appearance of the electric yak should be blue and black, which should be quite obvious.

However, Chen Xuan glanced at it, but found nothing unusual.

At this time, it is indeed appropriate to use mental detection.

Chen Xuan whispered something to Basang, expressing that he was about to use psychic powers, and asked them to watch over him.

Then, he closed his eyes and sank his mind.

A powerful energy wave spread from his body towards the surroundings, invisible and invisible, just like the energy wave released by the gray-robed elder Doron when he was selected.

Although Basang and the others couldn't perceive the psionic power specifically, they also felt a strong sense of oppression in an instant.

Several people had never seen the methods of a psionicist before, and they were immediately surprised when they saw it for the first time.

Is this the psionicist?
With such a sense of oppression, even the pack of wolves on the snow mountain would be frightened and run away, right?

No wonder the village chief respected the young man in front of him so much.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Xuan's psychic power was not something everyone could do.

Looking at the entire Sunshine Pagoda, only the Great Elder can achieve Chen Xuan's level.

At this time, Chen Xuan's consciousness had already flown into the distance.

In the state of mental detection, he felt as if his soul had gone out of his body, flying towards the distance, but at the same time, he could miraculously grasp everything within the range.

It was so detailed that even the surprised expressions of Samba and the others could be clearly seen, as well as the energy fluctuations emanating from them, clearly showing their level of strength.

There are also countless earthworm-like creatures swaying in the snow under the snow, which should be the winter insects Basang mentioned.

In the distance, a group of snow wolves were chasing snow sheep. Although Chen Xuan had never seen these creatures before, he could easily identify them.

Further outside, under a snow ridge.

A creature the size of a truck was gnawing on a huge cedar.

The cedar is scorched black on the outside, as if it has been burned.

The creature is dark blue in color, with a pair of disproportionate black horns growing on its head, and some tiny electric arcs jump from time to time on the black horns.

It can be regarded as finding you.
