The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 321: 318: Ice and Snow

It's snowy and icy.

Next to a snow-white forest, countless ice and snow fortresses like bunkers stand. The cold wind howls, but it cannot blow away the enthusiasm of the barbarians.

The snow-white trees were piled up together, and a huge bonfire was lit, the flames lighting up half the sky red.

Some barbarians killed a spiritual beast similar to a yak, skinned it, removed its tendons, removed its internal organs, then skewered it with wood and grilled it over a fire.

Licking the flames, countless barbarians cheered and danced around the campfire. Their dance moves were wild, vigorous, and full of vitality.

Chu Zhou could even feel that along with their movements, spiritual energy was poured into their bodies. Although they were rushing around recklessly, it also strengthened their physiques.

This may be a unique way of practice in this world of ice and snow.

Of course, Chu Zhou didn’t have much energy to pay attention to other things at this time, because he was the guest of this bonfire banquet and sat in the chief seat.

Next to him was a relatively thin old man with a white beard.

In a place like the Ice and Snow World, food is extremely scarce. As the barbarians get older, before their fighting power declines, they either choose to die in battle on the way to hunting, or leave the tribe and fend for themselves.

It can be considered as saving food for the tribe.

Of course, in most cases, barbarians don't live to that age.

But on the other hand, the fact that an old man is still supported by the tribe shows that he is not simple.

This old man with white beard is the chief priest of the tribe. He looks weak, but the power contained in his body makes Chu Zhou shocked.

What is even more commendable is that his eyes are extremely clear, as clear as a child's. At this moment, he is asking Chu Zhou questions over and over again, like a string of cannonballs.

"I heard that the mountains there are green, the water is blue, and the flowers are colorful. Is that true?"

“I heard that you can grow food on any piece of land you find, and there is a profession called farmer who specializes in farming.

Can they all eat their fill?"

"I heard that you can use silk to weave cloth and make it into beautiful clothes. Is that true?"

"I heard that when it's hot there, you can take off your shirt, but won't you get frozen by the ice and snow?"

"I heard that the fog of the world has dissipated. As long as we go south, we can leave this world. Is it true?"

"I heard from the wind that a barbarian tribe has already completed its migration and arrived in your world. Is this true or false?"

"I heard that you have a lot of..."

"I also heard that ..."

The white-bearded old man seemed to have a hundred thousand questions in his head, and he kept asking Chu Zhou all sorts of questions.

At the beginning, Chu Zhou was very patient. After all, the other party had done his best to be a good host, and he didn't want to offend the other party.

But the problem was that as soon as he answered a question, the white-bearded old man would ask three questions, and when he answered another question, more questions would pop up.

This series of questions really made Chu Zhou's mouth dry and he was speechless!

It’s not that the white-bearded old man’s questions are difficult; on the contrary, they are all common sense.

But what he lacked most was common sense, and he couldn't imagine things he had never seen. Even when it came to food, he was curious why there were so many kinds?

What can Chu Zhou explain?

There were some things he couldn't explain!

Finally, he could only say, "High Priest Yanpo, I can't explain it clearly just by telling you.

If you really want to understand, you might as well go and see it for yourself!"

Although it was the white-bearded old man who was talking to Chu Zhou, in fact, they were surrounded by many high-ranking officials of the tribe.

Each of them is a big, strong man with overflowing strength.

Although they were watching the bonfire and dancing, they were all eavesdropping with their ears perked up, including the barbarian sitting in the middle, who had a square face and a body that was even more muscular than the other barbarians.

This one is the chief of this tribe, his name is: Avalanche!
Chu Zhou found it funny, but in this world of ice and snow, avalanches were a calamity sent by the gods, enough to bury the entire tribe.

Therefore, the name ‘Avalanche’ refers to the strength of this chief!
However, when Chu Zhou suggested that they go and see for themselves, these people could no longer hold back.

They focused their eyes on Chu Zhou. If there was any problem with their vision, Chu Zhou would be burned to ashes.

It was the white-bearded old man who spoke, his voice trembling: "Is it really possible?"

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly and there was an obvious pause, but in such a short period of time, the hearts of the barbarians were in their throats.

Chu Zhou looked at them and smiled, saying, "Of course you can, but this road is really hard to walk on.

You are a large group migrating, men, women, old and young, all belongings have to be brought with you, I am afraid the speed will be even slower, and some places are really difficult to travel. "

After a pause, he continued, "However, if you really want to migrate, I can mediate.

I have some status there, so I can find you a piece of land and provide you with some food and supplies. It shouldn't be a problem."

"What you said is true?"

A rough voice sounded, like the roar of a violent bear, and even produced an echo.

Chu Zhou looked up and met Xue Beng's eyes. His expression remained calm. He just nodded seriously and said, "My promise, Chu Zhou, will naturally count!"

After a pause, he continued, "However, the human race is not at peace right now, and is fighting a great war with the Zhou Juetian ghost race in the east.

If you go, you might get dragged into the battlefield.”

"Ghost tribe? The spirit of wind and snow protects us, the ghost tribe is nothing."

Avalanche continued: "So when do we take action?"

Chu Zhou frowned slightly, but still said: "I came here from thousands of miles away, so I have things to do.

So, when I finish my work, I will come to help you!"

"No, what if you run away?
Besides, even if you don’t run, the Snow Region is too dangerous. If you die at the hands of some powerful beast king, we won’t know. ”

Xue Beng refused outright and said, "So, you must help us complete the migration first."

Chu Zhou suddenly understood that in a system where the strong prey on the weak, if you are too easy to talk to, it means you are easy to be bullied.

The smile on his face completely disappeared, and his expression became even colder. He waved his hand, and a cloud of gas under his seat lifted him up and flew up.

When he reached the height where he could look at Xue Avalanche, he said, "I am willing to help you, partly because I have something to ask for, and partly because I am kind.

I am willing to give this world a chance to survive, but my kindness is not weakness. "

"So, I take back what I said just now. I will not help you anymore. The life and death and survival of your tribe has nothing to do with me."

"you dare!"

Avalanche jumped up directly, and a big axe appeared in his hand. The axe was completely white and flashed with cold metallic light.

The aura around him spread, and although he had no magic power, his blood and energy were surging like a tide, and he even turned into a ferocious beast, ready to bite down.

Chu Zhou had seen the transformation of qi into shape, and he often used the transformation of magic power. But the transformation of qi and blood was still of an animal. Chu Zhou thought that he had also opened his eyes.

However, this does not prevent him from showing his strength.

With a wave of his hand, the Xuanwu flag was stretched into the air, and a phantom of Xuanwu appeared between heaven and earth, raising its head and roaring, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Moreover, a blue sea dragon emerged from Chu Zhou's body, spreading for thousands of feet, ready to move.

"If you want to fight, then I will join you. After I kill you all, I will extract your souls and refine your spirits, and ask you what I want to know. It doesn't seem difficult." Seeing that they were about to fight because of a disagreement, at this time, a skinny man flew into the air.

He turned his back to Chu Zhou and faced Xue Beng, and said in the most severe tone: "Xue Beng, I said, he is a distinguished guest, a distinguished guest bestowed upon us by the Snow Region, we need to treat him with courtesy."

"But, but he, he..."

"Sit down!"

"We just have to catch it!"

"Sit down! I won't say it a third time!"

Avalanche threw the battle axe in his hand and sat down angrily, like an angry child, turning his head away with a stubborn look on his face.

The white-bearded old man then turned around and forced a smile at Chu Zhou: "I have read some books left over from ancient times, and also heard some things about your human race from the wind.

I know that you humans have your own code of conduct, and you value interpersonal relationships. You help me, and I help you."

“We barbarians may be a little different. To survive, we need to fight against the sky, the earth, and the beasts.

We must use all means to expand our tribe, just to have more food to eat and more people to survive."

"This is the difference between the two cultures. It's hard to say who is right or wrong!"

"You are a distinguished guest bestowed by the Snowland. Our tribe will do our best to help you. We only hope that when you return, you will not forget your promise to us."

The white-bearded old man spoke sincerely and had a genuine look in his eyes, which made him seem very sincere.

When Chu Zhou heard him say that, his anger subsided. He waved his hand, the blue sea and blue dragon disappeared, and the black tortoise flag was taken back.

Then he said, "Since you said so, I will give you this face. However, I don't want to waste time.

Let's go somewhere. I have something to ask you about the world of ice and snow."

"Then let's go to my snow castle!"

"Okay, you lead the way!"

The white-bearded old man didn't waste any words. He turned around and flew towards a snow castle, and Chu Zhou followed behind him.

Their departure heralded the end of the conflict, but not the end of the bonfire party.

After a while, cheers and dancing sounds were heard again, accompanied by the division of food, and these barbarians were even more excited.

There had been a conflict and tension just now, but now they have forgotten all about it and are having a lot of fun.

But these are the Snowland Barbarians.

Their living environment is even worse than that of the people in the cave heaven. They have no idea what tomorrow will be after today, and no idea where the next meal will come from after this one. However, they are more free and easy and more open-minded!

The so-called snow castle looks like an upside-down bowl and is built with ice cubes, so it is very warm.

The snow castle of the white-bearded old man was filled with all kinds of strange items, including the organs of spiritual beasts, rare herbs, and spiritual objects fished out of the water...

They are all soaked in bottles and jars and arranged neatly.

There is also a laboratory table with various instruments on it, and the brewed medicines give off a strange smell.

The Great Shaman plays an extremely important role in the barbarian tribe and is in charge of sacrificial and healing matters.

They can brew all kinds of complicated medicines that can strengthen the body and eliminate diseases. However, although the medicine exudes spiritual power, Chu Zhou really dare not take it.

They also know magic, can tell fortunes from the heavens, and have psychic powers. Whenever the tribe makes an important decision, they perform rituals.

Yanpo is the chief priest of the tribe. He has lived for two hundred years, a rare longevity among the barbarians.

Theoretically speaking, as the patriarch, Avalanche has absolute authority, but only people like them who grew up under Yanpo’s watch can stop him.

There is also an inner room in the snow castle. The isolated space is not big and there is a bed, which is a little messy.

A bookshelf with all kinds of books containing text on it, including stone carvings, leather carvings, and books.

Finally, there is a desk with homemade straw paper and half-bound books on it.

It was right next to this desk that Chu Zhou and Yanpo sat facing each other. There were two ice bowls on the table, filled with light blue liquid.

This is snow wine, which is considered an extremely precious drink among the Snow Barbarians.

Chu Zhou had tasted it before and found it was icy and refreshing at first, but when it reached the abdomen, it spread out as a hot current that flowed through every part of the body.

This wine actually has the effect of clearing the meridians and stimulating the blood, which is really remarkable.

While sipping snow wine, Chu Zhou listened to the high priest of Yanpo talking about the things in the snowy region.

It was also thanks to his explanation that Chu Zhou finally gained a new understanding of this world of ice and snow.

There is white wind in the snowy area, which is the punishment from the gods in the sky. No matter day or night, egg-sized ice cubes will fall down, accompanied by howling winds, which can destroy everything.

Even the most powerful barbarian warriors or ice and snow beasts dare not challenge Baimaofeng's authority.

In the snowy area, there is an alternation of polar day and polar night. Either the sun hangs in the sky and it is always daytime, or it sinks into the earth and it is always dark.

It's okay if it's just a threat, but in such weather, some powerful snow beasts will appear and hunt for food.

If you encounter it, you basically can't survive.

There are also auroras in the snowy areas, with ever-changing colors hanging in the sky. They look beautiful, but in fact they are filled with murderous intent.

Many times, we die without knowing how we died!

The Snow Barbarians are really weak. Their individual strength cannot match those of the exaggeratedly sized snow beasts, and they require a lot to survive.

Therefore, they are actually living a hard life. If they encounter some powerful snow beast passing by, or if they are not prepared for extreme weather, the entire tribe may be wiped out.

This is why they were so excited when they knew they could migrate out.

However, the harsh environment has tempered the barbarians' physical and mental strength. Every adult barbarian is a qualified warrior and is proficient in various survival and hunting skills.

Theoretically, they should be relatively isolated.

But in fact, the great witch priests all master a unique magic that allows them to communicate and interact through the never-ending wind in the snowy area.

However, this kind of communication is very casual and not timely.

Therefore, the Great Shaman Priest of Yanpo knew some news from the outside world, but only some.

The real masters of the snowy area are actually the snow beasts.

Although it is covered with ice and snow and it is difficult for plants to survive here, there is an endless ocean beneath the thick ice.

There are snow beasts that can break through the ice, connecting the two ecosystems and providing food for those snow beasts.

The snow beasts standing on the top of the snow area have extremely exaggerated sizes and terrifying vitality. Their every move may cause a natural disaster.

The Great Shaman of Yanpo talked about a lot of things, some general, some details, some certain, some speculative. Anyway, he told everything he knew.

As Chu Zhou listened, he became more relieved.

What he feared most during this trip was actually one thing, that is, this paradise under the ice and snow had an owner!

But now, I can put this worry aside.

What he needs to do is to find the core of the world, enter the cave, and then refine the core, so that he can practice the methods of the fairyland.
