The name of the missing Kantas is Fang.
According to him, the reason for this name is because he has two more teeth than other Kantas. At that time, he opened his mouth very hard to show it. Such a unique way of introduction, coupled with the fact that he and Vash With a similar name to a werewolf in the tribe, Meng Jiuzhao still had a deep impression on him.
The ground, which was originally covered with shades of green, is now covered with snow. The snow is uniform, and even distinguishing the horizon has become a very difficult thing. They searched the vicinity for a long time, but they did not find any clues about Fang Fang at all.
In order to find Yaya as much as possible, and also to give him more time to catch up with the big guy, Meng Jiuzhao and the other Kantas stayed in place for an extra day, and during this extra day of delay, it snowed again , Although the wind that came with the heavy snow was not as terrifying as before, it brought even colder air.
Meng Jiuzhao never expected that the temperature changes here would be so drastic and there would be no buffer time. In just two days, the temperature here had dropped to such a harsh temperature that he could barely wake up from sleep.
The reason why Meng Jiuzhao didn't freeze to death was not only Louis's wing protection, but also his father's sweater.
Because it was too cold, Meng Jiuzhao had no choice but to hide in his backpack and found two sweaters at the bottom of the backpack. The workmanship was very rough, but the size was very suitable. It was not until Meng Jiuzhao put them on tremblingly that he realized that they should be Knitted from childhood sweaters.
In order to see my father again, I have to live—
At that moment, Meng Jiuzhao had only this thought in his mind.
The material for the wool is the down of the Kantas cubs that Black has carefully collected over the years. This is the warmest thing. In an instant, Meng Jiuzhao, who had no scales and was supposed to be freezing to death, became the warmest person in the team.
He is not afraid of the cold anymore, but the other Kantas are about to die.
The temperature is too low. As long as they stay in place for more than an hour, their feet will definitely freeze. Kantas is used to hanging his tail on the ground when he is resting. This habit is usually nothing, but it will kill him here! Like the soles of their feet, ice can form under their tails. It can be said that as long as they stand still now, their bodies will be frozen on the ground in a short time. At the earliest, Meng Jiuzhao could dig some dry branches from under the snow to thaw them out, but as the ground gradually When it is frozen, it will be difficult for him to find suitable firewood.
Many Kantas were worried that if they stayed for a long time, they would freeze harder, so they pulled their tails and claws out of the ice.
The soles of the feet are protected by thick cuticles, but there are only scales on the tail.
By the time Meng Jiuzhao found out to stop them, the tail scales of several Kantas had been forcibly ripped off.
They didn't feel anything, but Meng Jiuzhao was so nervous!
The most dreaded thing still happened—
When he was a child, the experience of losing his white feathers made him panic about things like Kantas losing its fur and scales, especially in such a cruel environment.
But the scales had fallen off, Meng Jiuzhao checked carefully, and then thought of a way out: take the backpacks of these cubs, let them put their tails in, and tie them up again.
Although the image is very bad, at least the tail is safe, and the part where the scales have fallen off will not be frozen again by the wind and cold.
These days, Meng Jiuzhao has established a high prestige among this group of cubs, so although it looks extremely ridiculous, these Kantas still follow suit.
Alan's tail scales also fell off, and he couldn't help it: the tail was broken and couldn't stand up at all!
As a result, Alan's tail was not only descaled, but also had a large area. In the end, Xiaohua contributed her own bag, reluctantly took out all the precious little collectibles in it, and used the empty backpack to cover Alan's tail. up.
Looking at the Kantas whose tails were perfectly wrapped in backpacks, Meng Jiuzhao felt vaguely in his heart Kantas' wisdom: the most important purpose of the fathers to let the cubs come down with this backpack is to wrap their tails at this time
Look at the size! How fitting! just-
(Kantas dads: ==///Actually, it's not... )
The wounds of the wounded were wrapped up, so it was time to move on.
If you wait any longer, everyone will die.
Relying on the marks left before the storm, Meng Jiuzhao struggled to identify the direction, and led everyone to move forward.
While exploring the road, Meng Jiuzhao found a dead Triceratops frozen under the snow. This was the only food for everyone these days.
No one deliberately suggested it, but the Triceratops corpse, which was obviously not enough to eat, still had a tail meat left.
Stomach growling, Meng Jiuzhao watched as Kantas threw the remaining half of his tail on the snow behind them.
"Yaya must be very hungry." Xiaohua whispered, and he threw away another collection that he had collected so hard and wanted to take it back to show his father.
These are the treasures that he took out of the bag to empty the bag. Although he took it out, there were several treasures that he didn't want to throw away, so he kept carrying them away.
However, Meng Jiuzhao noticed that he quietly dropped something along the way from time to time as he walked.
Other Kantas also occasionally drop a little something.
The reason they did this was exactly the same as Meng Jiuzhao's insistence on making marks along the way: I hope that Ya Ya is not dead, and that Ya Ya can find what he left behind like Meng Jiuzhao's mark, so that he can catch up with the team faster.
While gratifying that everyone has finally started to have a "collective" concept, Meng Jiuzhao vaguely felt that Yaya might not come back.
The best time frame for tracing is always the first twenty-four hours from the occurrence.
Now, it has been four days since Ya Ya disappeared. Minus the day of waiting for him, they had traveled for three days. What happened to Fang? Can he find the right direction as soon as possible? Is he fast enough? Can Yaya always maintain the correct path forward—
As long as one of these conditions cannot be met, Yaya will never get back.
After today, there is only a 1% chance of Ya Ya returning to the team.
That night, they were again hit by a terrible snowstorm.
In the past three days, they have encountered no less than four snowstorms. Now this group of Kantas have the ability to cope. According to the method Meng Jiuzhao taught them for the first time, put their backpacks and buttocks outside, and put their heads inside , They squatted in groups.
Meng Jiuzhao was surrounded by them in the middle.
The wind speed outside was terribly high, but the space he was in was very calm. For Meng Jiuzhao, the sound of the Kantas breathing above his head was louder than the sound of the wind blowing~
After adapting to the brutal weather outside, these big guys even had time to chat.
Sitting on Louis' big paw with his knees in his arms, Meng Jiuzhao listened carefully to the conversation of these big guys.
"Hey, it's so cold~" This was Qiao Qiao's voice, and he sniffed loudly while speaking tremblingly.
"Stop inhaling! Your snot hit my feet, it hurts—" This is Xiaohua.
"Why, why... ah?" Qiao Qiao took another breath.
"Your snot is frozen into ice cubes!"
Hearing Xiaohua's complaint, Meng Jiuzhao hastily and carefully moved between Louis' legs.
Putting aside the question of whether it is disgusting or not, it must be a multiple killer weapon that can hurt the snot of Kantas? !
"Xiaohua, can you switch places with me? I'm not afraid of snot." Alan's voice came over.
"No need, no need~"
"Short~ Whose ass is this? Don't squeeze it~"
In the dark space, Meng Jiuzhao's eyesight was useless. Even though he was wearing a sweater and huddled in the "room" that everyone built with their bodies, he still felt like he was freezing to death. This storm lasted longer than any previous storm .
While waiting in the dark, the Kantas chatted quietly. They didn't chat for a long time. After a while, I don't know who yawned first. Then, the chatter in the dark disappeared, replaced by a soft grunt Voice. After getting used to the cold climate, this group of sub-adult Kantas has adapted to the harsh environment. Now they can even fall asleep standing up while avoiding the snowstorm, and they can guarantee enough rest no matter how severe it is. In order to have better physical strength to deal with more difficulties, this group of Kantas have learned by themselves.
Listening to their breathing, Meng Jiuzhao also slowly closed his eyes.
***
On the storm-ravaged snow field, a small black figure slowly emerged from the blurred horizon.
He was yelling as he walked, and he had probably been yelling for a long time before this, his voice was already extremely hoarse, and when the wind blew, it dispersed.
But he still didn't give up calling for his companions.
It wasn't until he got closer that we realized he was anything but small.
This is a male Kantas with a height of at least eleven meters. This extremely fierce creature is one of the most powerful life forms on this planet, but now this Kantas is extremely embarrassed, and he is covered with cuts and bruises.
This Kantas is the missing Fang.
Ya Ya was originally a little fat man, as a Kantas, he he he he is too fat!
After joining Teacher Meng's kindergarten class, he managed to get closer to other Kantas in size through hard hunting, but he still looked a little square. However, during the days when he was lost with his companions, he lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye. down.
It’s just that he rarely sees snow, and he is a bit playful. When others are on their way, he hangs behind, touches the snow to play from time to time, and when he finds out, he has already lost with his companions.
He yelled for a long time, but when no one came back, he became afraid.
Then, before he could catch up, came the dreadful blizzard.
The other Kantas have the guidance of Meng Jiuzhao, and each other's bodies can shield each other from the snowstorm, so they safely passed the first snowstorm in their lives, but Yaya has nothing.
Under the huge storm, Kantas's weight of several tons and height of more than ten meters were too small. He had to try his best to lie on the ground so that he could stabilize his body and not be blown away.
After finally surviving the terrible storm, when Fang tried to get up, something even worse happened: his whole body was stuck to the ice.
There was no one here to help him thaw patiently. When he endured the severe pain and peeled himself off the ice, Yaya felt that he must be dying soon.
A large number of scales fell off, and there was no companion to help him lick the wound, so he continued to move forward like this, calling for his companion while walking, and now he regretted it to death, regretting why he was so playful and did not keep up with his companion's footsteps.
He is not as smart as A Tuo, who cannot recognize the right way; he is not as powerful as Louis, who can glide for a long distance; he is not even as strong as Alan, who can still keep up with the team after suffering such a serious injury speed.
He has nothing, he is just an ordinary Kantas.
When he realized that no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out of a vast expanse of whiteness, Yaya was frustrated, he crouched down, his eyes fell on his blood-stained belly, he couldn't help sticking out his tongue and licking his big belly .
Dad said that he was fatter than other Kantas cubs since he was a child...
Thus, at the lowest point of Longsheng, Yaya discovered his greatest advantage: he has the biggest belly!
When others are very hungry, he seldom feels hungry. He spends all the time other people sleep and eat on his way, walking in a few more directions, maybe—no! You can definitely find a companion!
Thinking of this, Yaya perked up again!
He really tested a certain distance in several directions, and he found that the flowers planted by Xiaohua...
After determining the general direction, he mustered up the courage to continue on the road. Whenever he was uncertain about the direction, he would use the most stupid and energy-intensive method: try all the directions.
Fortunately, his companions also remembered him, leaving too many things and marks along the way that could allow him to identify the direction.
When he was so hungry that he wanted to cry, he even found half of a Triceratops tail.
Crying while eating, he stuffed his frozen tail into his belly as fast as he could, Yaya accelerated his journey!
Then, finally—
On the fourth day, a one percent miracle happened!
On the dim horizon, he spotted a group of bumps!
It's a companion!
He was so happy that he wanted to yell, but now that Ya Ya's throat is hoarse, he can no longer yell.
But it doesn't matter, there is no way to make a sound, and he still has a little energy to run.
Quickly ran to his companions, outside the surrounding circle of his companions, Yaya casually found two Kantas, aimed at the gap between their bodies, bumped his big butt left, arched his right, buried himself between his companions, and lowered himself nod.
Finally, safe.
Finally, he can rest.
