Text Chapter 551: The Snow Melts
In the early morning of Xunlonglin, by the bank of Yunlong Lake, heavy snow fell in the sky, and the temperature became colder and colder, so that many soldiers were already sick due to the cold. People are boiling soup and medicine to drive the sick away from the cold.
Outside the tent, a group of flame tortoises screamed "chirp" and crawled around on the snow like big dogs, spouting flames every now and then to demonstrate. These are all tamed flame tortoises. Although he has psychically fused with the temple staff of the Beast Taming Division, the degree of fusion is not too high, and he still maintains a very violent temper.
"Srustling..."
Snowflakes fluttered and fell on the shoulder armor one by one. Lin Muyu leaned on the star sword, looked at a group of flame turtles, frowned and said, "What's wrong with them?"
Wei Chou folded his arms and said, "I'm hungry... These flame tortoises were originally going to sleep for the whole winter, but we woke them up, so now they are yelling that they are hungry. My lord, we have to do something for these flame turtles." The black tortoises are looking for food, otherwise the subordinates suspect that they will break free from fusion and become wild spirit beasts again."
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded, looking at the frenzied appearance of this group of flame turtles, it is indeed very likely that they will break away from the fusion and abandon the covenant, so they must find a way earlier, but all the bloodthirsty tigers within a radius of tens of miles have been killed. Moreover, there are fierce beasts here, and wild boars, rabbits, badgers, muntjacs and other animals that do not have strong attack power will not appear.
The flame turtles are not vegetarian, they have to eat meat, food will be a big problem next.
After counting the number, the Gendan Camp has tamed 97 flame turtles, only three away from 100, and the progress is about to be completed, and in order to prepare for damage in future wars, it is best to catch a few more , it seems that we have to wait another day at the bank of Yunlong Lake before we can return to Lanyan City. Moreover, this kind of weather...
Lin Muyu looked up at the heavy snowflakes flying all over the sky, and couldn't help sighing. It is estimated that the snow has closed the mountains, and it is not easy to go back to Lanyan City. Now what needs to be considered is the fodder for the horses and the food for the winter.
Hakuin quietly appeared beside him, and said: "Commander, if we want to spend the winter, we shouldn't be at the bank of Yunlong Lake. There is a shortage of food here. We should go to the mountains, find a hiding place for the winter, and then look around for grain and food for the winter. .”
"Well, let's catch a hundred flame turtles first."
"yes!"
...
After the day was completely bright, the team set off. Lin Muyu still relied on spiritual veins to find the habitat of the flame tortoise, and dug out these flame tortoises hibernating in the cave to tame them. Wei Qiu led a group of people to break open the ice in the shallow waters of Yunlong Lake, and began to break through the ice to catch fish to feed the captured flame turtles. The meat was finished.
Naturally, people in the temple do not fish like fishermen. Wei Chou holds a longbow and steps into the cold lake water with his boots. He closes his eyes and feels the movement of the fish in the mud, and fastens the tail of the arrow on the string. , every arrow shot out can bring back a fat fish, and besides Wei Chou, more people stabbed in the water with spears, harvesting a lot, hibernating fish were thrown on the snow , causing a group of flame turtles to scramble jubilantly.
But not long after, there was a scream of "ahhh", a soldier of the Gendan Battalion was suddenly dragged into the water by something, the blood was churning in the lake during the scream, and there were bursts of ice-breaking sounds in the distance .
"There's something under the water!"
Wei Chou turned pale with shock, and hastily opened his longbow, shouting: "All ashore, all ashore!"
"Hiss..."
There was a long hissing sound in the lake, and amidst the loud "bang bang bang", a whole piece of ice nearly half a meter thick collapsed one after another, and a huge monster crawled out of the water, with indigo scales all over its body. A ferocious head was shaking in the air, and there were eight extended sharp arms, and the arms were still stained with the clothes fragments of the soldiers of the Gendan Battalion who were killed. This was nothing else, it was a 4500-year-old frost A horned dragon!
"Bastard!"
Wei Chou was furious. He raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow pierced through one of the Frost Armored Horned Dragon's arms with a "snap", and brought out blue blood. Unfortunately, it couldn't seriously injure. The power of an arrow is against the Frost Armored Dragon. The horned dragon is too insignificant for such a colossus!
"Frost Armored Horned Dragon?"
Lin Muyu was also startled, and flew towards him in a hurry. The coercion of the sanctuary descended, quickly suppressing the violence of the frost-armored horned dragon, and then loudly said: "Wei Chou, don't kill it yet! Someone, try to tame this frost-armored horned dragon! "
As he spoke, golden gourd vines rose one by one from the mud in the shallow water, binding the head of the frost-armored horned dragon and its eight lethal saber arms. Roaring, the four legs submerged in the water were pedaling hard, but how could they break free from the shackles of Lin Muyu, a strong man in the Holy King Realm.
"Let me come..."
Wei Qiuhan stepped forward with a grimace, and suddenly punched the ugly head of the frost-armored horned dragon to vent his anger at killing his subordinates. There was a strong shock pain from the fist, and Wei Qiu couldn't help but feel secretly. Startled, the frost armor on the body of the Frost Armored Horned Dragon was indeed very hard, no wonder the white diamond arrows couldn't cause destructive damage.
Opening his palm slowly, Wei Qiu quietly tried to communicate with the frost-armored horned dragon. A few seconds later, the sea of mind was filled with ferocious waves. Wei Chou trembled all over. He could feel the frost-armored horned dragon Hunger, violence and fear, humans are afraid of the Frost Armored Horned Dragon, but the Frost Armored Horned Dragon is also afraid of humans who can move freely on land, and it is precisely because of this that the Frost Armored Horned Dragon will wantonly attack humans.
After nearly a minute, the struggle of the Frost Armored Horned Dragon finally calmed down. Its head drooped beside Wei Chou's shoulder. A pair of blue eyes opened and closed to look at Wei Chou, Lin Muyu and the others. The psychic fusion was successful. Now, the Frost Armored Horned Dragon has connected with Wei Chou, so Lin Muyu and others naturally don't pose any threat to it.
"It's alright, my lord." Wei Chou took a deep breath and said.
With a wave of Lin Muyu's palm, all the golden gourd vines turned into martial spirit energy and dissipated in the air, and this huge frost-armored horned dragon squirmed on its four hard legs and followed Wei Chou onto the land. Although the speed was very slow, But the facts proved that the Frost Armored Horned Dragon could survive on land, but its combat strength was greatly reduced.
This is the first time that everyone has seen a complete Frost Armored Horned Dragon. It has a long tail behind its body, which is covered with tail fins. These tail fins can help him swim quickly in the water, while its abdomen, mouth They are all together, like a huge disc, with nine limbs erected on it, one of which has a neck and head, and the other eight are all steel-like hard and sharp knife arms.
Hakuin tightened his cloak to keep out the cold, and said, "My lord, this frost-armored horned dragon... has very limited combat power on land, and its running speed is so slow, my subordinates suspect that it may not be a match for a single-handed battle with an armored demon." .”
Lin Muyu glanced at the Frost Armored Horned Dragon, and said: "Its real battlefield is underwater. Hakuin, you have never experienced the Daojiang water battle. You don't know that the demons have an army called horseshoe crabs. The demons' water army is comparable to our human's." The water army is much more powerful, if we can tame a water army made up of frost-armored horned dragons, then we won't have to fear horseshoe crabs anymore."
"Yes, the commander is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire him."
"..."
...
After Wei Qiu fused with the soul of the first frost-armored horned dragon, it would not be difficult to capture others. Using the signal from the scream of the first frost-armored horned dragon, one after another frost-armored horned dragon appeared on the land, and was captured by a group of Once captured and tamed, Lin Muyu's "expeditionary army" captured more than 20 flame turtles and fifty frost-armored horned dragons again for a whole day, and the mission was completed!
It's just that the Frost Armored Horned Dragon is also a carnivorous creature, and its appetite is very large, so food is even more difficult.
After nightfall, Wei Chou guarded the camp, and Lin Muyu rode out with a hundred people to hunt for food.
In the middle of the night, the sound of horseshoes came from the bank of Yunlong Lake, and the hunting team returned, and the horses dragged the corpses of swift wolves, wild boars, and muntjacs.
Wei Chou smiled brightly: "That's great...My lord, this food is enough for us to eat for two days!"
Lin Muyu couldn't laugh, brushed off the snow on his shoulders, and said: "We have brought back all the prey that can be hunted within thirty miles. We will leave Yunlong Lake tomorrow morning. The food here will soon be consumed by us." It was eaten up."
"yes!"
...
The next day, the heavy snow finally became smaller. In the early morning, after having a full meal, the team of 500 people left Yunlong Lake slowly. They brought 120 flame turtles and 50 frost-armored horned dragons with them. The trip was fruitful.
The Frost Armored Horned Dragon walked slowly on land. They crawled on the ground with four legs, but their tails swung back and forth as if they were swimming in water. They looked very stupid, but there was nothing they could do, they could only follow their instructions. Walk at a slow speed, and it is not bad to be able to walk two hundred miles in a day.
Moving slowly like this, five days later, the team arrived at the mountain range on the edge of the Xunlong Forest, but the heavy snow had already blocked the way they came, and the five-meter-high snow blocked the five-mile-long valley , so that the team can no longer move forward.
"Are we really going to wait for the spring to come in the Xunlong Forest?" Wei Qiu said helplessly.
Bai Yin said: "Perhaps, otherwise, what else can we do, unless the gods go down to the world and let everything on the earth rejuvenate immediately."
"All things rejuvenate..."
Lin Muyu was silent.
"My lord, do you have a solution?" Wei Chou asked.
Lin Muyu nodded happily: "Bai Yin's words reminded me that we will camp here tonight, and we can return to Lanyan City after the heavy snow melts tomorrow morning."
"Oh, how could the heavy snow melt?" Wei Chou looked up at the fine snow floating in the air, and the surrounding was completely cold, and said with a wry smile, "Thank God if the snow doesn't get thicker and thicker!"
At this moment, Lin Muyu took out a steel sword from his Qiankun bag, flipped his wrist lightly, and activated his mind!
...
"brush!"
A ray of indigo light shot up into the sky, and the power of heaven and earth had already been aroused. It was the middle-grade book of the law of life obtained by Lin Muyu from killing the hunting ghost generals in the forest of heavenly book steles!
Following the activation of the Heavenly Book, a ripple swept across the entire valley, the temperature rose rapidly, and the sound of melting snow could be heard in the ears, Wei Chou, Bai Yin and the others were stunned, speechless .
