Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 16 The weather will get colder and colder

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the temperature keeps dropping. Every morning when I wake up, the water is covered with ice. Every day, a treant falls to the ground or does not wake up and turns into a real tree.

Treants have few natural enemies, but they are still no match for the freezing weather.

Wei Huo began to think of a way for them. First, he wove straw mats out of dry grass and wrapped them around the trees. This is how people protected street trees before humans stopped.

Other than that, some lime water can be brushed in, but where to find lime now?

Every night, large and small bonfires would be lit in the treant colony, otherwise, the moisture inside the treants would freeze.

The leaves on the canopy of the tree people are constantly falling off. It looks like a middle-aged person is bald. The situation is very serious. The reduction of leaves will reduce the efficiency of photosynthesis, just like the loss of human teeth. This is a very serious situation.

Wei Huo is actively thinking of a way, but tree people are not the kind of animals and plants suitable for long-distance travel.

But fortunately, treants have a more tenacious mind than humans. No matter what happens, even if there is only the last treant left in the entire treant community, they will continue to go south until they reach the southernmost part of the Northern Continent.

However, this is just an extravagant hope. Treants die every day, and Wei Huo estimates that it will take more than a year to reach the southernmost point. What's more, the temperature is still dropping. Even at noon, the temperature is only 10 degrees, and the temperature drops even more at night. It was thirty degrees below zero.

Every morning when the tree people wake up, they will find that one of their companions has turned into a real tree, but they firmly believe that when the climate warms up, these tree people will come back to life.

Until the last treant fell to the ground, it was not dead, it was still moving forward, and it was Wei Huo who was carrying it forward!

"Don't die!" Wei Huo continued to encourage the tree man who had lost a lot of weight on his shoulders.

That is to say, but Wei Huo seems to be carrying a collapsed five-story building forward, every step will leave a footprint on the frozen ground, and the continuous exercise for more than a hundred years has made him Wei Huo became very powerful, the limiter of human beings was unlocked, the strength can grow infinitely, and human beings no longer have limits.

Treants are different from animals, as long as one survives, they will multiply into a race sooner or later, but it is a pity that the treants on Wei Huo's shoulders did not survive in the end.

Wei Huo dug a big hole, put it upright, and buried it back in the soil, hoping that, as they themselves thought, when the weather warmed up, all the treants would be resurrected.

Wei Huo took away dozens of seeds from the tree man, put them in a small bag, and finally continued to move south.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and a layer of straw mats was applied to the two giant beasts. Wei Huo not only increased his lifespan because of Qi training, but also didn't invade the cold and heat. At least he didn't care about the temperature until the Qi energy was exhausted. Feel.

As they continued on, the ground was covered with snow and the leaves were all gone.

There is another reason why the North Continent is so cold now, and that is that winter is here.

Hunting has become more and more difficult. Many animals died in the low temperature. They all suffered from hypothermia. Facing the extremely low temperature, without fur protection and enough energy, there is only one dead end.

Of course, if you learn to make bonfires and sew clothes, you can resist the severe cold to a certain extent.

Wei Huo saw a group of monkeys who made a bonfire, and these monkeys also sewed their own clothes, just like humans pretending to be.

In addition, Wei Huo also saw polar bears and arctic wolves.

Polar bears and arctic wolves said: It's too cold in the north, we have to run south.

However, the two giant beasts showed their role at this time. From time to time, they would smell the smell of some dead beasts, and then go digging in the snow, and they really dug out some animals that died of freezing.

At this temperature, dead animals will not rot at all, and can be eaten after thawing with fire.

But despite this, the pandas and tigers could barely hold on, and Wei Huo was basically carrying the luggage by himself. He also covered the two giant beasts with thick animal fur. I can't go down.

They seldom growl, because they need to save energy and eat very little. For some reason, they are always in a low mood.

They were originally temperate animals, and the extreme cold came suddenly, and they couldn't hold on anymore.

Until the day when the highest temperature during the day was minus one degree, they fell down.

Hypothermia, a terrifying disease that threatens all animals and plants in the Northern Continent, except for Wei Huo and the time-stopped humans, no creature can escape.

Wei Huo couldn't move on anymore, so he could only stay, and then cut down the dead trees, and then made a wooden house. The trees were too huge, and it was impossible for Wei Huo to make a wooden house for them, but the two giant beasts The body is not too big.

"To survive!" Wei Huo built a wooden house for the two giant beasts, made a bonfire in the wooden house, and then went out to hunt in person.

But outside the cabin it was snowing heavily, knee-deep in snow, and the hunt was becoming more and more difficult.

Wei Huo suddenly remembered the movie "Life of Pi" that he had watched. A teenager and a tiger were on the same survival boat, sailed across the ocean, and were finally rescued.

But the situation between Wei Huo and that young man is still different. First of all, Wei Huo is no longer a young man, and he is used to life and death. Now, he just tries his best to save these two giant beasts.

If they died, Wei Huo might be sad, but he would never shed tears.

"It's a pity!" Wei Huo stroked the heads of the two giant beasts, "I can't teach you the skills of practicing Qi."

Qi training skill is a systematic skill, as long as the posture is correct, and then the skill can be used to practice Qi, but teaching? How to teach it? Not to mention passing it on to animals.

The two behemoths were dying, the fat tiger turned into a thin tiger, and the fat one also turned into a thin one.

They fell in the wooden house, motionless, sticking out their tongues, panting heavily, as if they were suffering from asthma, and looked extremely uncomfortable.

If they howl a few words, Wei Huo thinks it's okay, but they won't yell like humans when they are in pain. Wei Huo glanced at it, and maybe moved his tail.

Even if Wei Huo put the food in front of them, they just sniffed and licked it, but they didn't want to eat it at all. Wei Huo had no choice but to forcefully stuff it into their mouths and let them swallow it.

Wei Huo walked out of the wooden house, looking at the gray sky and the snow that kept falling, he couldn't help sighing: "Hey! Winter will last for a long time!"

Every night is a torment for the two giant beasts. The temperature is still dropping, and the low temperature at night is even more terrifying. Even adding firewood to the bonfire all night can't bring a little warmth to the cabin.
