Chapter 50: Rhinoceros
In the blink of an eye, Wang Lang had already been searching and exploring the mountains with Xiaoxue and King Kong for more than twenty days.
If it was really a simple search and exploration, just to see the situation, then at their speed, it would only take three to five days at most to cover every inch of the 6,000 to 7,000 square kilometers of the mountainous area.
However, once it involves collecting and mining various resources, it becomes extremely time-consuming.
For example, Wang Lang found a large patch of Job's tears near a huge freshwater lake. It took him a whole day and a half just to collect them.
At the beginning, Wang Lang would take Xiaoxue and King Kong home every night without fail.
Later, as we went deeper and deeper into the mountains, it became inappropriate to go home every day.
It's not a question of wasting time.
Whether it was Xiaoxue or King Kong, they were both extremely fast. For them, a distance of more than 100 kilometers would only take an hour at most.
However, running back and forth like this, especially if you have to cross mountains and rivers, will consume a lot of physical energy.
Run home every day and run back the next morning.
After several days in a row, Xiaoxue, King Kong and Wang Lang himself were all exhausted both mentally and physically.
Later, after becoming more and more familiar with the conditions in the mountains, Wang Lang would look for a suitable and relatively safe place to set up camp at night.
Although this is relatively risky, as long as you remain vigilant, there will generally not be any major problems.
Setting up camp in this way can ensure sufficient rest time. In this way, on the second day, you can devote yourself to searching, exploring, collecting and mining resources in a victorious state.
Relatively speaking, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
Early in the morning, Wang Lang woke up in a huge hole.
In fact, it is more because this space is called a deep pit.
This place extends straight underground for eight meters and covers an area of about five hundred square meters.
Its top is not the ground, nor the mountain, but a huge ice sheet that is nearly two meters thick.
On the side closer to the west, a cave appeared because it was supported by the protruding rocks of the mountain.
From there, it only takes about seventeen or eighteen meters to enter this deep pit.
From here, it looks like a cave.
But if you ignore the ice cap, it will definitely be a deep pit.
It is relatively safe here.
The only entrance has been blocked by Wang Lang with stones. If the two-meter-thick ice cover is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the enemy to enter this space.
The ice sheet is extremely hard and is not so easy to destroy.
Last night, Wang Lang built a fireplace out of stone. He put wood in it and lit a fire. With the light snow and the thick fur of an exotic animal covering him, he didn't feel any cold.
So Wang Lang slept very comfortably that night.
Xiaoxue and King Kong were still snoring there, sleeping very soundly.
After Wang Lang got up, he first added some wood to the stove to make the flames burn more vigorously. Then, he began to prepare ingredients for breakfast.
Although cooking and eating at fixed times every day takes some time, after eating and drinking, searching, gathering, and mining resources can be done with less effort.
After a busy period, the preparation of breakfast was soon on track.
Although it can only be regarded as a temporary fireplace, it is still very large in order to facilitate faster cooking.
At this time, grilling and cooking soup can be done at the same time.
The temperature of the flame was very high, and the two large skewers of meat soon began to sizzle with oil, and the aroma of meat also spread directly.
The next second after smelling the aroma of meat, Xiaoxue and King Kong opened their eyes and woke up.
In just a moment, they became extremely awake, squatting beside the stove, drooling, waiting to eat barbecue.
It must be said, these two are as greedy as ever.
However, Wang Lang had no opinion on this matter. Instead, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Although he is not a professional chef, he is the one who prepares three meals a day.
So now he can fully be called a chef.
As a chef, it’s a natural sense of accomplishment when the food you cook is popular.
About twenty minutes later, the Job's tears and pork soup was ready first.
The meat is cut into small pieces, so it will definitely cook faster than larger pieces of roast meat.
Relatively speaking, barley and pork soup is definitely not as delicious as mushroom and pork soup.
But this Job's tears is considered a staple food, and it is easier to feel full after eating it, and the feeling of fullness will last longer.
Fortunately, Wang Lang added sweet potatoes to the barley and pork soup.
This sweet potato is a giant sweet potato. The soup becomes sweet with it. Overall, the taste is very good.
After a busy period, Wang Lang filled two large stone basins with coix seed and meat soup.
These two large stone basins are the rice bowls for King Kong and Xiaoxue respectively.
They are very large, with a diameter of more than 1.5 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters.
Xiaoxue and King Kong both have big appetites, and after drinking this big pot of meat soup, they must have to eat more than 100 kilograms of barbecued meat to feel full.
After pouring the remaining broth into his bowl, Wang Lang put the huge pottery pot into the Shennong Ding space.
Now time is limited, conditions are limited, so I can only wait until I have time to wash the pot.
After blowing some air into their mouths, King Kong and Xiaoxue began to eat with relish.
Wang Lang was not idle either. He held his bowl and slurped the coix seed and meat soup.
He also has a small spoon in his hand. When he encounters dry goods, it is better to use tools.
Just as Wang Lang, King Kong, and Xiao Xue were enjoying their meal, the entire deep pit and the ice cap above them suddenly began to shake.
At the same time, very loud footsteps were heard from a distance.
As the footsteps got closer, the vibrations of the surrounding ground became louder and louder.
In an instant, Wang Lang, King Kong and Xiaoxue entered combat status.
Wang Lang shouted directly in a low voice: "Everyone move aside now and keep quiet."
As he spoke, Wang Lang immediately moved. The next second, his body was tightly pressed against the stone wall of the deep pit.
King Kong and Xiaoxue were also very fast and approached the stone wall next to Wang Lang.
At this time, Wang Lang knew that the place they were in was very special.
If powerful alien beasts come to attack, they can only attack from the top of the ice cap.
As for the cave they had crawled in from, it had long been blocked by Wang Lang with a large amount of stone.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the vibrations around were becoming stronger and stronger. Some small, unstable stones on the stone wall had begun to fall.
At this moment, Wang Lang heard a very loud roar similar to that of an elephant.
It was at this time that Wang Lang was sure.
The strange beast that is running towards us now is most likely a thousand-year-old rhinoceros-elephant that only lives in snow and glacier areas.
The thousand-year-old rhinoceros elephant is a large beast with long nose and tusks, pale blue in color, ears as big as fans, limbs as pillars, and a sensitive and powerful trunk. Its skin, horns, tusks, and bones are all beautiful materials.
The resources that can be obtained by decomposing it include spirit pieces, thousand-year-old beast souls, great wild skins, and Suanlu fangs.
This thousand-year-old rhinoceros elephant possesses three magical skills of exotic beasts.
The first magic technique is slapping.
Use your long nose to slap the enemy in front of you
The second magic is stone throwing.
Gathers dirt and rocks, and throws them out of its nose to attack the enemy.
The third magic is trampling.
Stomps the ground hard, creating an earthquake that attacks all nearby enemies.
Even though this rhino-elephant does not possess many exotic beast skills, their power is extremely strong.
Moreover, the body of the Millennium Rhino is very large, its skin is thick, and its strength is immense. Even without using the exotic beast magic, its attack power is still very strong.
After confirming that this was a thousand-year-old rhinoceros, Wang Lang was speechless.
He probably had guessed that it was the wafting smell of meat that attracted the thousand-year-old rhinoceros.
Just now, some strange beasts ran nearby, but Xiaoxue was able to confirm that those beasts were of the same kind as herself, and they were three hundred year old snow wolves, just by sniffing her nose.
So Wang Lang didn't take them to heart.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that there would be thousand-year-old rhinos and elephants roaming on the edge of the snow mountain.
