Wu Qi immediately set off to investigate the place where the Ice Curse was located. Based on his awe and vigilance for that land, Wu Qi never stopped using blue rats to explore unknown areas. Because many dangers can be discovered with the eyes: snow creatures lurking in the east of the thick snow, particularly fragile thin ice somewhere, or even the blizzard weather that is about to change, the blue mouse is better at avoiding these dangerous places than he is. Sensitive humans are more sensitive.
The investigation process of two days and two nights proved whether Wu Qi's vigilance was useful. In those two days, the blue mouse helped him avoid hundreds of dangers, big and small, and the blue mouse, which had more than 20 pieces of it, was reduced to only 10 pieces.
But the blue rat who came to the east alive at 10 also received rewards commensurate with the danger. Because they went against their usual living habits and continued to stay in the ice-cursed land, breathing the air of the ice-cursed land, eating the cold vegetation of the ice-cursed land and the corpses of the beasts Wu Qi killed, those blue rats Their bodies were twice as big as those who had entered the Ice Curse Land; on their backs and two warm areas, strong, long and bright blue hairs sprouted from the depths of the gray-blue rat skin.
When those blue rats encounter dangerous situations that excite them, their bristly blue hairs will suddenly be covered with a layer of icy red and shiny frost, making it look like they suddenly have cold ice spikes all over their body. generally.
After Wu Qi used the revelations from the wilderness gods to explore the life information of those evolved blue rats, he found out that the blue rats continued to ingest a large number of different types of cold isoviruses. Their low-temperature resistance has been greatly improved, and they can move freely in a low-temperature environment of 180 degrees east of zero; the newly grown "ice-spiked vellus hairs" are second-level mutated organoids that can absorb high concentrations of alcohol in a short period of time. Cold viruses can withstand extremely cold frost breaths and remain unscathed; blue rats will even use the "ice spikes" on their bodies as hunting weapons, which are 20 times more lethal than their own fangs and claws. .
Wu Qi named the newly evolved 10th blue rat "Ice Spiny Rat". Although he was indeed threatening the ice spiny rats with death to work for him, he was also looking forward to how far the 10 ice spiny rats would evolve in the future.
"If we can survive until he finishes walking through the Land of Ice Curse, he will release us. Whether we return to our homeland, or whether we use our newly acquired power to open up a larger territory and become the new king of a species, It's up to us." Wu Qi thought silently as he looked at the nest of ice spiny rats sleeping in the corner of the Bingbi Mountain Cave.
After thinking about it, Wu Qi turned to look outside the Bingbi Mountain Cave. Outside the Bingbi Mountain Cave, there is the silent and thick night, and then there are the steep ice and snow mountain roads and the cliffs halfway up the iceberg.
This resting place was discovered by Wu Qi at the end of the second day of the investigation, and the credit for finding it is due to the blue rats. At that time, the temperature and wind speed were very stable, but all the blue mice had a premonition of a snowstorm. He realized the meaning behind the strange behavior of the blue rat, followed the blue rat's intention, and found the cave on the mountainside of the iceberg under the "led search" of the blue rat.
And when they discovered the ice-walled cave that could protect them from wind and snow, the flow speed of the cold air and the amount of snowfall had reached a very dangerous level. If they were slower and less lucky, and found the cave half an hour later, Keke and Blue Rat would have frozen together and died on the bare ice and snow.
Finding a cave is of course a different story. The original owner of the Ice Wall Cave was a third-level polar red bear whose entire body was covered with hard ice-spiked vellus hairs. He possessed extraordinary strength and speed that could walk sideways, and was also capable of controlling ice. Bu Nao's "team" included the hunter Wu Qi. The entire battle lasted only 15 seconds from the beginning to the end when the huge body of the third-order polar red bear fell heavily to the ground.
Its flesh and blood and external organs became the food of blue rats. The bear blood containing a high concentration of the isovirus became Wu Qi's supply. The snow-red bear skin with quite good texture was later made into a cloak by Wu Qi and used as a marching blanket.
Now that Wu Qi has grown so big, he can do some cruel things like killing animals and taking over dens, as easy as eating and drinking.
Wu Qi's thinking returned from memories to reality. There is a vague barrier at the boundary leading to the outside of the Bingbi Mountain Cave. Only by using light can the body of the silver barrier be clearly seen. That's a measurable barrier that Wu Qi set up to prevent enemy attacks from appearing while he was sleeping and to block the enemy for a while.
The measurable barrier is also a measurable creation. Wu Qi’s biggest breakthrough in creating the measurable barrier was that he forced himself to learn to maintain the ability to run when he was not in deep sleep. The secret to his previous success was to make good use of the spirit of sleep leakage. Measurable. In this way, Wu Qi has completely solved a big problem encountered when using measurable creations, and the use of measurable creations will become more versatile.
Work hard, survive, progress. Then Wu Qi paused the improvement mode that he focused on after absorbing the blood of powerful life. That kind of down-to-earth improvement does not come as quickly as defeating powerful enemies or evolving back to the ancestors, but if you accumulate it bit by bit, you will suddenly look back and realize that you have lost a long way of your previous progress.
On the second night deep into the Land of Ice Curse, Wu Qi settled his few thoughts and fell asleep.
At noon the next month, Wu Qi opened his eyes and started walking in the bed wrapped in a red bear cloak. The ice spiny has also woken up and is walking freely outside the ice wall cave.
Wu Qi blew a whistle, and immediately the ice spiny rats gathered next to Wu Qi, even forming a neat row.
Wu Qi turned around and waved his leg towards the entrance of the Bingbi Mountain Cave, lifting the measurable barrier. He led the ice spiny at 10 and once again stepped out of the ice wall cave and headed towards the land of ice and snow with clear air.
Wu Qi memorized all the investigation contents of the previous two days in his mind, and also made a notebook and an animal skin map. There is an entrance to the southwest corner of the Land of Ice Curse, which is the "Sea of Hyacinth Flowers". Behind the "sea of hyacinth flowers" is a "permanently frozen ice field" with no snow or vegetation, and there are ferocious beasts like polar bears on the ice. The ice layer of the "permanently frozen ice field" is not a real glacier. The ferocious hunting legs are all in the ice layer. Creatures weaker than polar bears almost all become food for the beasts outside the glacier.
A variety of cold-water fish and river plants live outside the glacier. Whether it is polar bears, ice-shell fish and other beasts that live in the permanently frozen ice sheets, or the ice-toothed leopards from the east, they all prey on the cold water in the glacier. fish. Each area of the ice layer is different in thickness, hardness and brittleness. Most of the areas covered by thin ice are wandering to the east of the glacier predators, waiting for stupid creatures that stray into the thin ice area to be delivered to them as their rations.
Wu Qi once almost became the ice shell fish's lunch. That time he escaped, the blue rat died a few times, and his escape was also very embarrassing, thanks largely to the indestructible defense of the silver sand armor. Wu Qi has no idea of going back to take revenge on the ice-shell fish tomorrow, because the glacier is not a place where he is good at fighting. If he stands in the thin ice area, he will be dehydrated by the ice-shell fish, and it will not be a problem if he enters the glacier. Wrong leg, he ran to the thick ice area and had nothing to do with the ice-shelled fish.
Wu Qi was not ashamed. He was indeed unable to fight the ice-shell fish. Ice-shell fish with a body length of more than 10 meters could not survive at the third level. A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake, but he can hide from Yuanji if he can't afford to offend him.
Looking eastward from the "permanently frozen ice field" on the survey map, there was an iceberg with a strange ice-red tree growing on the top of the mountain. The ice-walled cave where he rested was on the mountainside of the iceberg. Crossing the iceberg and continuing eastward, there was a new area that he had explored for two hours and quickly exited after nightfall.
The new area has thick snow, and the black needle pine forest is composed of black needle pine. Wu Qi spent two hours exploring the Black Needle Pine Forest last month. He used the wilderness gods' revelations to detect more than a dozen plants, and he had a rough idea of the ecological environment around the Black Needle Pine Forest.
There is no existing name, so Wu Qi tentatively named the place where there is thick snow but does not prevent cold plants from growing luxuriantly, and where plants and animals work together to create a good ecological environment, as the "Land of Living Snow".
The Sea of Hyacinth Flowers, the Permafrost Ice Field, and the Land of Living Snow, these three areas are the Ice Cursed Land investigation areas currently recorded on the animal skin map by Wu Qi. As the investigation progresses, the survey map shown will inevitably contain more areas, and the notebook will contain several or dozens of pages of animal and plant records.
On the third day, Wu Qi asked whether he should continue to investigate the land of living snow according to the investigation task he had set for himself.
Among the animals in the land of living snow, Wu Qi only saw three species: frost-horned deer, polar wolf and ice-toothed leopard last month. Among them, the ice-toothed leopard is undoubtedly closer to the overlord of the black needle pine forest than the polar wolf. The relationship between the two is similar to that of hyenas and lions in the grasslands.
Wu Qi wore silver sand armor, carried a bag and a long bow on his back, hung a long knife on his waist, and held a 10-inch ice spiny rat's neck rope on his leg. He moved quietly in the black needle pine forest with deep snow, leaving the front and sides to the ice agouti for exploration.
There are many patches of low shrubs outside the black needle pine forest, and the black needle pine itself is a plant with an extremely thick trunk. The reconnaissance role of the Ice Spiny Rat in the Zhitou Realm was naturally magnified several times.
After exploring with the ice spiny for half an hour, Wu Qi finally found rough claw marks on the trunk of a black needle pine tree, and there were also obvious footprints of four-legged animals in the snow on the ground nearby.
The three thick and unusually long claw marks must be from the Ice-toothed Leopard, and the footprints must be from the outline and depth he remembered last month.
Wu Qi took a deep breath, held his breath and concentrated, expanding the sensory network further and more precisely. At the same time, the ten ice agouti on the other end of the neck rope also felt more carefully.
At a certain moment, the heart rate of the ice agouti directly in front suddenly increased, and its forward movement stopped abruptly. Wu Qi immediately realized what he had encountered. He quickly sneaked up to the strangely moving ice spiny. He slightly poked his head out of the bush and saw the scene on the other side of the bush.
The clear obsidian eyes reflected the Ice-toothed Leopard and another giant beast that was fighting to the death with it.
