After leaving the range of the volcanic island, the surrounding temperature seemed to suddenly drop by a degree, and there was a puff of white air when breathing.

Although there was a heavy snowfall just now, the weather was as clear as ever except that the temperature dropped after the heavy snowfall.

Song Wen lit a fire in the firepit next to the thatched hut. They got a lot of firewood from the previous island and stacked them neatly in bundles behind the wooden house. Apart from building the wooden house, the remaining wood was enough for them. Used it all winter, so no need to save wood for a fire.

In addition to using the fire to keep warm, the stone pot above the fire was boiling syrup, and Yi was stirring it with a wooden spoon. A sand table was placed in front of Fatty next to him, and he was practicing calligraphy in the white sand with his claws. After writing, he took a look into the stone pot. The sweet smell coming out of the stone pot made him swallow his saliva, obviously not focused on his studies.

Song Wen had two rattan baskets full of drunken flowers beside him. In order to let the smell of drunken flowers out, they were picked and piled up on the other side of Guibei Mountain for storage. Flowers rise up one by one to dry.

Because it had snowed before, the drunken flower was frozen a bit hard, but the smell has been much lighter, unless you put the drunken flower under your nose and sniff it hard, you can smell the intoxicating smell.

The special fragrance of drunken flowers made Kojima finally reject the plan to plant drunken flower trees on its back. In addition, Xiaodao has eaten a lot of snow worms before, so there is no need to worry about being vines again. Pot parasitism is dangerous, but in order to reassure the old snake turtle, Song Wen still stuffed a lot of petals into the turtle shell of the island, so that people living on the turtle's back would not be able to smell the smell through a layer of turtle shell. smell.

The rope is a fiber rope made from a plant that used to grow like sugarcane. After simple soaking and cleaning, it becomes softer and is not easy to break. The fiber rope is too thin and needs several pieces to be used together, otherwise the load-bearing strength is not enough.

Song Wen tied a heel bone needle to one end of the rope, and then strung drunken flowers on it one by one. After the strings were finished, they were hung on the wall of the wooden house to dry slowly, so that they would not be easily blown away by the sea breeze. It can be stored for a long time.

A Hen stood next to Song Wen, and occasionally held a drunken flower in his bird's beak and handed it to Song Wen. In fact, A Hen's help slowed down Song Wen's speed, but Song Wen didn't dislike it. He would touch Ah Hen's neck in admiration.

Ahen is smarter than ordinary emperor penguins. Even though Song Wen can't understand the language of emperor penguins, he always feels that Ahen can understand the meaning of their words. The neck swayed a few times, and a series of sounds were happily released in the throat.

"Oh--."

"I don't know if we can meet the Emperor Penguin colony along the way." Song Wen said to A Hen: "If there is no Emperor Penguin colony, you will go to Nanlu with us."

"Oh."

"It's good to go to Nanlu together. There is no emperor penguin family in Nanlu yet." Ah Man held a wooden bucket filled with water in his paws and stopped firmly not far from the fire. He couldn't fly too far. Too close, or the wind from the wings will blow the charcoal from the fire everywhere.

Song Wen tied the string of drunken flowers into a knot, and Ah Hen had already bent down to pick up the string of flowers. The string was so long that even if Ah Hen raised his neck high, it almost fell to the ground. Song Wen pointed out Pointing in the direction of the wooden house, Ah Hen took small steps, swaying and leaving with a bunch of flowers in his mouth.

Ah Man next to him hurriedly made room for it.

"They have already adapted to the climate of the North Sea. If they go to the southern land, I don't know if Ahen can adapt." Song Wen looked at Ahen's thick fur and was a little worried.

Ah Man thought for a while, "It should be fine, the orcs living in the Southland all migrated from the North Sea, and I haven't heard of anyone who can't adapt to the climate in the Southland. What's more, the Southland is so warm."

"I'm afraid it's too warm."

Ah Man tilted his neck, obviously he didn't understand Song Wen's worries, wouldn't it be nice to be warm?They had to leave because the climate in Beihai was too bad.

After drying all the drunken flowers and the syrup was almost boiled, Song Wen took the wooden spoon in Yi's hand and poured the boiled syrup into the mold.

It was a rectangular mold covered with a large smooth leaf, which could be torn off after the syrup had set so that it would not stick to the wood below.

Song Wen dipped his fingers in a little syrup and tasted it. It was not as sweet as imagined. Fortunately, it didn't have a sour taste like real sugarcane juice. They don't have lime to neutralize it now, so Song Wen was already very satisfied with this level of sweetness.

"Song Song." Fatty jumped out of the sand table, with some sand on his feet, and he bumped into Song Wen's calf. Because of the cold weather, Song Wen was wearing a pair of animal skin pants, which were fluffy, and even if he hit him No pain either.

Fatty looked at Song Wen helplessly. Song Wen had already boiled the syrup once when he got this sugarcane juice before. Frozen very hard.

Song Wen took Ah Pang hanging on his lap to the place where the syrup was air-dried, put the syrup away first, and then picked up the frozen candy. Sweet, Song Wen smashed a small piece with a bone knife and stuffed it into Fatty's small mouth.

Ah Fatty was a little dissatisfied at first. The freshly baked syrup tasted even more attractive. Why did Song Song feed himself cold, hard candy?

But after the candy came in, Ah Pang’s eyes widened in surprise, and his little wings covered his round face. The taste of the candy was completely different from the wild fruit he usually eats. This was the first time Ah Pang tasted it. For a moment, I didn't know how to describe this kind of thing, I just felt that the whole bird was infused with joy by the taste in its mouth.

"Come and try it too." Song Wen cut off another small piece and gave it to everyone else to taste.

"Delicious." Yi slightly squinted his eyes, obviously liking this sweet taste very much.

Originally, after leaving the volcanic island, Xiao Dao would take them to stop at another island and then go to the territory of the waterspout, but because a lot of supplies have been obtained in the volcanic island, and enough food has been stored, Song Wen discussed with everyone Afterwards, they decided to go directly to the territory of the waterspout, and they could wait for the passage to open nearby, so they didn't have to worry about missing the time.

Maybe it’s because the weather is getting colder. There are few fish schools on the sea. Song Wen’s fishing rod on the coast sometimes doesn’t catch a single fish all day. The island never left after eating a full meal. The volcanic island retracted into the turtle shell. After all, it has part of the blood of the giant snake, and it still needs to hibernate for a while at this time.

Hiding in the turtle's shell during the cold weather will help Kojima feel more secure and allow him to heal his wounds.

The days became calmer, and even the seabirds that could be seen occasionally in the past seemed to have found a place to spend the winter, but now looking at the sky, it is so clean that not even a bird's feather can be seen, and the wings follow Ah when they are idle. Man went to learn how to fly, they circled the island over and over again, and now Yi Yi's flight time has been able to last longer and longer.

Cut the leaves that look like aloe vera into thin slices, and apply them to Ah Hen's scabbed wounds. I have to say that this herb is very useful for removing scars. After only a few days of application, the scars on Ah Hen's body have faded away. Many, because Xiao Dao wanted to retract into the turtle shell to sleep, the aloe leaves were soaked in sea water, the effect was greatly reduced, but it was much slower than A Hen.

However, this kind of plant is very easy to grow. Song Wen dug two trees from the turtle back island of the old snake turtle. The leaves regrow.

The pheasants and seabirds reared behind the wooden house changed their coat color before the snow fell. The new coat is gray, but much thicker than in summer. Most of the creatures living in the North Sea change their coat twice a year. Second hair, Song Wen collected all those feathers and spread them on the hay bed where they slept, which would be much warmer.

Yi flapped his wings and came down from mid-air. He has already been able to fly around the island for a dozen times. Although he is not satisfied with the speed, it is much better than the previous progress of not even being able to fly high. .

He shook his body, and a few pieces of golden feathers fluttered down to the ground with his movements. The movement of the wings froze, and then Aman who landed saw it, picked it up with his paws curiously, and looked at it suspiciously. Ask: "Yi, are you going to molt again?"

Beastman cubs moult for the first time, which means they have grown up. They are not like wild beasts who have to molt every year. After the first time, the feathers of the beastman almost represent the same body in the future. Hair is gone, and if there is occasional feather shedding, the amount is very small.

Some species of birds may not grow back their feathers after they fall out, so they will cherish their feathers very much. Sometimes in order to prevent their feathers from being rubbed off, they will maintain their humanoid activities on weekdays, and will only change back when fighting. beast type.

Ah Man once saw a beastman of the Black Crow Clan, who had a lot of feathers grabbed off by Xiong Xiazi's claws in a battle. Until now, as long as the man turns back into a beast, he can see that he is obviously bald A big piece, Ah Man would involuntarily look at each other a few more times every time he met, and was so angry that the man would go out hunting and hide secretly in a place where others could not see.

Yi turned back into a human form, snatched his own feathers from Ah Man's claws, and picked up the feathers on the ground one by one, one by two... unexpectedly, seven of them were lost, and they were still feathers the hardest feathers.

Yi's handsome face sank, he had just made some achievements in learning to fly, how could he fly if he lacked feathers?

Wing is very sad.

"You guys are back? I made some shaved ice, do you want to try it?" Song Wen came out of the cabin with Ah Hen, holding a pot of freshly made jam in his hand. He hurriedly called the two of them over.

"Yes." Yi stuffed the feather into his bosom, and ran towards Song Wen with small steps.
