It took Shao Xuan two days to recover his stamina. With his recovery speed, two days were already very slow without suffering serious internal and external injuries. In the past, when hunting, he only needed a night's rest to recover his energy. There is plenty, but this time it is too much overdraft, and it is impossible to recover in just one night. Moreover, if you want to go to the top of the mountain to find the answer, you must be fully prepared.
In the past two days, Gan Qi was not interested in other things, so he just asked Shao Xuan about Yi Xiang. After learning that Yi Xiang was really strong, Gan Qi stopped asking more questions and stared at the top of the mountain all day. , do not know what to think.
Yi Cong and Yi Qi were still seriously injured and could not walk, especially Yi Qi, who didn't wake up after being in a coma, so anxious that those slaves cried all day long.
"Let's go." Shao Xuan jumped on the back of the eagle and patted the hair on the back of Chacha's neck lightly.
Ganche was also on the back of the eagle, and he chirped reluctantly before he flew up.
Carrying two people on his back, he would rest several times in the middle of the journey. The higher he went, the thinner the air, the lower the temperature, and the stronger the invisible sense of oppression.
Ganche doesn't like places that are too cold. The people of the dry tribe originally lived in hot desert areas. After becoming what they are today, although their living habits have changed a lot, he is still the same at this point. In a place full of ice and snow, his movements will also be restricted, and he does not like such environmental conditions at all.
However, Ganqi was willing to take the risk for those attractive blood smells.
The higher he went up, the lighter Ganche's breath was. He minimized his sense of existence. One was the pressure from top to bottom that made him nervous, which was an instinctive reaction; the second was that the cold temperature made him nervous. Very unaccustomed, like a beast entering hibernation, and breathing is not necessary for him, and now he has stopped breathing, the whole person looks like a stone sculpture, motionless on the back of an eagle.
Through the layers of clouds, the water vapor in the air turned into ice particles and hit his face, and a layer of white appeared on his hair and clothes.
"Wait! Go over there." Shao Xuan pointed in a direction and motioned for Cha Cha to fly over.
After finding a suitable landing spot, Shao Xuan jumped off the eagle's back, stood on a protruding rock, pushed aside the thick layer of snow on the rock, and dragged out a white worm skin.
The color of the white worm's skin is the same as the color of snow. At first glance, it cannot be distinguished at all. If Shao Xuan observed it with a special vision, he would not have found it.
When Shao Xuan came here for the first time, he also picked up a few white worm skins and made protective clothing. White Insect Skin's defense is good, and it will play a protective role in battles. At the same time, there is another point, which is also the most important thing for Flaming Horn people - it can resist the damage caused by nuclear seeds.
The white worm skins that Shao Xuan brought back to Yingshan for the first time were already damaged, and the number was very small. Every time they entered the cave where the nuclear seeds were placed, the number of people who entered the cave was due to the number of worm skins. Limited, the tribe has also discussed what can be used to replace the white worm skin. After all, it is not easy to come to Yingshan, and it may not be able to find the white worm skin smoothly. It would be nice if a substitute could be found. Unfortunately, no suitable replacement has been found.
Now, Shao Xuan just happened to be able to find more white worm skins to go back.
Shao Xuan touched the white worm skin on his hand. He didn't know when the white worm skin was thrown down by those white worms. Shao Xuan guessed that the time should not be too far apart.
After rolling up the white worm skin and tying it up, Shao Xuan looked at other places. He found a second white worm skin nearby, and put it away together and wrapped it up. As far as he could see, he could not find a third one. Shao Xuan didn't go any further to look for the white worm skin. The most important thing at the moment is to see what secrets the white worms have. Other worm skins will be searched after the urgent matters are resolved. .
After a short rest, Cha Cha took flight again.
Shao Xuan can feel that the resistance that Chacha is flying up is very high, but Chacha is very happy to fly like this, even if it will not enter Yingshan this time, but in such a place, such a flight still excites it.
As he continued to fly up, Ganche, who had always been like a stone sculpture, rarely raised his head, with no expression on his face, but an eager red light flashed in his eyes.
"It's near!"
They were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain.
"It's there!" Ganche raised his hand and pointed to a direction.
Shao Xuan motioned Chacha to fly over, it was not the top of the mountain, but he knew that although those white worms dared to steal the things on the site of the giant eagle on the mountain peak, they would never dare to build their nests on the ice field on the top of the mountain. Keep a safe distance, so they don't need to continue to fly up to find the white worm.
Shao Xuan also saw a worm nest built on a mountain. It was the same as what he saw when he first came here in memory. The white worm's nest was only made of those worm silk.
"They're changing."
Shao Xuan looked at the worm's nest, because he had experienced it once, so he knew very well that in that worm's nest, the white worm no longer left the worm's nest, but stayed in it and transformed quietly.
"Tonight, it's a full moon night." Shao Xuan looked at the sky. At this time, the sun has not yet set, and the surroundings are still bright.
Ganche jumped from the back of the eagle. Probably because the temperature was too low, his movements were a little stiff, not as smooth as usual. The surrounding environment and thick snow made Ganche very uncomfortable. Attraction still allowed him to endure the discomfort.
To Shao Xuan's surprise, Gan Qi stopped after walking a few steps towards the worm's nest.
"What? Is there a problem?" Shao Xuan asked.
"No." Ganche stared at the nest.
"What did you find? Don't plan to shoot?" Shao Xuan asked again.
"It's not time yet." Ganche just stood there, staring at the nest.
"Not in time?" Shao Xuan didn't understand why Ganqi said that, but one thing was certain, what attracted Ganqi was indeed related to those white worms.
Since it's not time, just wait.
Shao Xuan and Chacha went to the ice field on the top of the mountain to eat some ice. They haven't eaten the icicles on the ice field on the top of the mountain for a long time. Shao Xuan still misses them.
At this time, there was no giant eagle on the mountain peak, and Shao Xuan didn't need to hide it.
Ganche didn't like the ice much, he didn't eat much, and now he only saw the white worms that were transforming.
As time passed, the sun gradually went down, but the sky did not get dark. The two rounds had overlapped with most of the moon and appeared in the night sky.
Ganqi became more and more excited, his hands couldn't help shaking, and his eyes became red.
This night, under the overlapping moon, everything around is like day. When the two moons overlap every year, both human tribes and beasts in the forest will be affected. For those beasts that are more seriously affected by the moonlight, this night of the year is also their most special night.
However, on this mountain range, near the top of the mountain, there are no other beasts. There was a faint roar of beasts in the distance. Although it was close to the top of the mountain and far from the ground, the roars of some beasts could still be heard. It is conceivable that if they were on the ground, the roars of those beasts would be louder.
Tonight, those beasts will be extra excited. I wonder if Yi Cong and Yi Qi at the foot of the mountain can avoid those excited beasts.
creak-
A small voice came, and Shao Xuan stopped thinking about other things and looked at the insect nest.
As in the past, Shao Xuan saw a white worm that looked like a butterfly without wings, with two rod-shaped tentacles on its head. Those little noises were the sounds it made as it crawled out of the nest and crawled across the snow.
Shao Xuan looked at Ganqi. Although Ganqi was very excited at this time, he didn't make any movement. If it weren't for the red light in his eyes, he still looked like a silent statue with a very weak sense of existence.
After the white worm crawled out of the nest, it went to a raised rock. With the flash of white light like an electric current, two long wings began to grow on both sides of the worm body. Compared with the two outstretched wings, it looks much narrower.
The two wings were fully formed, with white fluorescence in their flaps. The wings stood together like many butterflies in the mountains and forests, paused for a while, then flapped violently, left the snow, and flew into the distance.
Xingdie, this is the name mentioned by the people over there in Wangcheng. The night of the full moon is like the only starlight under the sky during the day.
In the night sky, the two moons have completely overlapped, and the world under the sky is like daytime. Under such a sky, some white light spots are not suppressed by the moonlight at all, and they fly up from the mountains one after another. Those are the star butterflies in other places on the mountain. .
Those white worms that climbed up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, after experiencing the subsequent growth, completed their transformation and turned into star butterflies at the same time this night.
The wind on the top of the mountain was so fierce that it hurt people's faces like a knife, and countless snowflakes were rolled up and blown away, but those flying star butterflies ignored the fierce cold wind and went all the way to higher and farther places. Fly away, no one knows where they will end up.
When he first came here, Shao Xuan stared at the flying star butterflies for a long time, but this time, he just turned his attention after the star butterflies flew up.
Ganqi first entered the worm's nest of the white worm just now. When Shao Xuan passed by, he saw Ganqi squatting on the ground. Where the white worm had stayed, there was something like ice water.
Ganche stretched out a finger, stroked the pool of ice water, and put the finger stained with "ice water" into his mouth.
"It's it!" Gan Qi's lowered voice was filled with intense excitement and excitement.
that's it
These ice waters
Looking at the pool of ice water, Shao Xuan remembered that when he first came here, he once thought, where did the shells of the chrysalis go when the white worms transformed? I didn't see it at that time. Shao Xuan thought that when the star butterflies were transforming, there was no chrysalis. Now it seems that maybe, it is not that there is no chrysalis, but that the chrysalis had disappeared when Shao Xuan came over.
The "ice" in that beach of "ice water" may be the chrysalis!
Also, that "ice" is melting fast, and the "water" that melts is evaporating.
Without thinking about it, Shao Xuan took out the worm skin and simply knotted it to make a simple leather bag. He didn't have a bag suitable for liquids on hand, so he could only use these worm skins. Moreover, since it is all the things that come out of those star butterflies, it is safer to use insect skins.
Regardless of whether these are related to casting, let's collect them first, and Ganqi's eyes are definitely not ordinary. Moreover, there are too many secrets on the white worm, worm skin and worm silk, all of which are of great use. These mysterious bloodstains in Ganqie's eyes must also bring unexpected joy.
"Are you in a hurry to drink? If you are not in a hurry, help to pack it." Shao Xuan handed Ganqi a prepared wormskin bag.
Ganche didn't say anything. After taking the bag, he left to find the next worm nest. He doesn't have the special vision like Shao Xuan, but he can use his sense of smell to accurately find the location of another worm nest.
Now that he has found his target, Ganqie is not in a hurry to eat it. As Shao Xuan said, he should hurry up and collect it first. Now he is in a hurry, so he can collect as much as he can.
Collecting the ice water into the wormskin bag, and then tightening the bag, Shao Xuan found that the "ice water" in the bag had stopped melting, which was exactly what Shao Xuan wanted, and he was relieved. He was afraid that the ice water would continue to melt and vaporize in the wormskin bag, and there would be nothing left when the bag was finally opened.
Shao Xuan and Ganqi split up and collected the "ice water" that had not yet melted in the worm nest on the mountain into the worm skin bag. If it had all melted, the water would be collected. If it had completely evaporated, there would be no other way.
Chacha also helped to find the worm nest, and after finding it, it made a cry, calling Shao Xuan to go there.
Although Shao Xuan and Ganqi moved quickly, they couldn't find all the worm nests. Then there is nothing.
Shao Xuan couldn't do anything about it, but fortunately he had collected "ice water" from a dozen worm nests.
After tying the mouth of the bag, Shao Xuan first put the wormskin bag aside and let Chacha guard it, while he went to collect the silk in the worm's nest.
If not collected in time, the worm silk will gradually fall off the rock and be blown away by the wind.
The worm silk of the white worm's nest is a little tight against the rock. However, as long as the power of the totem is poured into the worm silk, the worm silk can be easily pulled off the rock. Shao Xuan has done this before, and now it is easy to do.
Worm silk is very light, much lighter than worm skin, and the use of worm silk is also many. Shao Xuan has used up all the worm silk collected before, and now he just collects some more to make up, and later set traps, hunt, etc. , both are useful.
Ganqi didn't know what was the use of Shao Xuan's collection of these worm silks, but he still helped. After all, if Shao Xuan hadn't brought him up the mountain, it would be difficult for him to go up the mountain by himself. The environment on the mountain severely restricted his actions. , he was able to obtain those magical "worm blood" this time, thanks to Shao Xuan's help, so, if Shao Xuan wanted to collect worm skins and worm silk, of course he would help.
The worm silk is fine, as long as you go to the worm nest once, and it is light and easy to carry, but the worm skin is too heavy and hard to find. Those white worms like to kick the worm skin down the mountain. Shao Xuan found nearly 20 pieces this time. Stop and keep looking.
With the collected mysterious "ice water", as well as the collected worm silk and worm skin, Shao Xuan went down the mountain. This trip, with such a harvest, has already made him very satisfied.
