Chapter 856 Black Forest

Chapter 856 Black Forest

Changbai Mountain is a line that runs through the east and west, thousands of miles of mountains, separating the Middle Earth from the Northern Frontier.

Changbai Mountain is very important. It can be said to be a barrier that protects all living things. The cold air in the far north is like a knife. Every winter, the cold air will go south with the monsoon, most of which are blocked by the tall mountains of Changbai Mountain, and only a small amount of cold air enters the prosperous Middle Earth.

It is precisely because of this that Changbai Mountain often snows, so there is the name Changbai Mountain, which roughly means that the mountain is in a white state for a long time.

Xiao Chi did not continue to follow the team northward. First, her mother no longer allowed her to leave, and second, her mother and several aunts seemed to have suffered serious injuries. She was extremely worried and did not dare to go out to play.

After leaving Xiao Chi behind, the group left Tianchi in the afternoon. After taking the map to determine the direction, they continued to move north.

The Black Forest is very large, the largest forest in the world. Some people may say that the scope of Southern Xinjiang is larger than the Black Forest. Why is Southern Xinjiang not the largest forest in the world?

The terrain of Southern Xinjiang is different from that of the Black Forest. Southern Xinjiang is a mountainous area. There is a Tianfu Plain in Bashu, but there is not even a plain in Southern Xinjiang, not to mention the topography of eight mountains, one water, and one field in Lingnan.

The Black Forest is different. Although there are mountains, the peaks are not very high, and there are a large number of forest plains.

The vast primeval forest is a forbidden area for humans. You may see a few barbarian tribes on the outskirts of the Black Forest, but you will never meet any mortals in the forest. In this respect, the Black Forest is not as good as Southern Xinjiang. At least there are still five ethnic groups, namely Miao, Li, Zhuang, Tu, and Gaoshan.

Flying northwards for two thousand miles from Changbai Mountain is the southern outskirts of the Black Forest. It is also strange to say that this two thousand miles of buffer zone is an endless plain. Due to the vast land and sparse population, only a few barbarian tribes graze on this grassland. However, there is only a few months of snow in this place in a year, so there are not many barbarians. You can often see a barbarian tribe of 1,000 people occupying a grassland with a radius of 1,000 miles.

The distance of two thousand miles is nothing for cultivators, but it is a bit bitter to fly in the air, and the temperature is cold, not as comfortable as flying in the Middle Earth.

When it was dusk, tall trees that seemed to connect to the sky appeared on the northern horizon, and everyone understood that they had arrived at the Black Forest.

It was strange that Changbai Mountain and the northern grasslands were already covered with snow, but the Black Forest was pitch black, and it seemed that there was no snow. When they arrived here, the temperature was also warmer.

The name of the Black Forest made cultivators shudder. The Ten Thousand Mountains in the South Xinjiang, the bottom of the Golden Sand Valley in the Western Regions, the Lei Ze in the Southwest, and the Devil Island in the East China Sea were all forbidden areas for humans. If cultivators stepped into them rashly, they would be in danger if they were not careful. So when everyone saw the Black Forest in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a little solemn, and they didn't have any thoughts of playing.

Ye Xiaochuan asked Du Chun for his opinion, and they both agreed not to enter the Black Forest tonight. It was already dark, and it would be dangerous to go deep into the Black Forest rashly, so everyone stopped at the periphery of the Black Forest.

According to Yao Xiaofu and others, you can't fly freely in the Black Forest. There are many flying poisonous insects and strange birds in the Black Forest. Animals that survive in this environment usually live in groups. If human cultivators fly at high altitudes, they will be too big a target and are very likely to be attacked by these birds. So everyone knows that hard times are coming. They can only rely on their feet to perform body skills and walk through this primitive forest.

Landing on the outer ground of the Black Forest, everyone found that the Black Forest was not as bad as they had imagined. There was less snow on the treetops, and there was almost no snow on the ground of the primitive jungle. You can even see some unknown flowers and plants growing tenaciously on the ground.

There was no big danger outside, so everyone made a fire and set up a pot. In order to be on the safe side, Ye Xiaochuan asked Yamashita Zhishu to take a look around. Since this Tuxingsun followed him and others to the north, he had to make good use of his strengths. Anyway, when Sun Yao arranged for his brother-in-law to come in, he said that the reason for this arrangement was because Shanxia Zhishu knew the art of escape, and he could be assigned to do hard work such as being a front station and guard in the Black Forest.

Since Sun Yao said so, Ye Xiaochuan had no reason not to reuse Shanxia Zhishu.

Shanxia Zhishu went out for a walk and came back with several fat rabbits and pheasants in his hands. Baili Yuan and other women found a small river to wash their hands and faces, and unexpectedly caught a lot of big fish.

Without human harassment, the animals in these mountains and forests live so well, and even the wild rabbits and pheasants are much bigger than those caught in the wilderness of Middle-earth. No wonder there is a saying here that if you hit a roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle, the pheasant will fly into the rice pot.

Ye Xiaochuan looked at the wild rabbits here, which were so big, and touched his chin, thinking whether he could catch a few white bears and skin them for fur. The fur here is the favorite of the rich people in Middle-earth. The white bears produced here can sell for at least three to five thousand taels, and they are also very warm. No matter how cold the weather is, you won't freeze to death if you wrap yourself in a white bear skin.

Unlike the mountains in Bashu, there are not many big bears, and the fur of black bears is average. As for the black and white big bears with dark circles under their eyes and who like to eat bamboo in the Cangyun Mountain area, they are born to be cute.

Ye Xiaochuan told his good brothers such as Zhu Changshui about his plan to make a fortune, but was unanimously opposed by everyone.

Jie Se and Liu Jie do not want to kill, while Zhu Changshui and others say that they should strictly follow the words of the fox demon predecessors such as Yao Xiaofu, and not kill the animals in the Black Forest at will, so as not to be attacked by the wild monsters in the Black Forest. Some monsters in this forest are no weaker than Zhulong in combat power.

Shan Xia Zhi Shu, who was washing and skinning pheasants and rabbits, shuddered. Looking at the small animals that he had caught and was about to eat, he felt cheated and planned to let them go, so as not to be attacked by the big monsters. Ye Xiaochuan discovered his little thoughts and saw Ye Xiaochuan went up and broke the necks of several pheasants and rabbits.

Looking at Ye Xiaochuan's smug smile, Shan Xia Zhi Shu felt a chill in his heart.

Ye Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Brother Shan Xia, what are you afraid of? They are just a few mountain jumps. Those prehistoric giant monsters will not trouble us for the life and death of these little things. Don't worry. Hurry up and get a few people to help. Wash and skin these things. Everyone is starving to death!"
