Chapter 529: Surviving the Severe Winter
Since then, Jiang Shi and Li Yuan always sneak out.
With the help of the magical cloud, he traveled between the Tianhuang tribe and the primitive mountains and forests.
The two men searched for traces of primitive creatures, dug under the ice, and then brought back those frozen to death creatures to serve as food for the people of the Tianhuang tribe.
The primitive creatures were all huge in size, and they instinctively huddled together before the severe winter.
Every time they found the nest of primitive creatures and brought back the frozen corpses, the Tianhuang tribe could have a good meal for a few days.
The Tianhuang tribe, because of the two people's constant extortion, started "military training" again.
However, not all creatures can survive the cruelty of winter.
Once when he went deep into the frozen primeval forest, Jiang Shi dug out a "big one".
A terrifying giant beast with the blood of chaotic gods and demons was originally sleeping under the ice. It was awakened by the two of them and became furious.
He chased the two men for at least thousands of miles.
Fortunately, the two of them ran fast on the cloud, otherwise it would be hard to say whether Li Yuan would be in trouble or not, and Jiang Shi would definitely be doomed.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the terrifying beast gradually get lost in the blizzard.
The sky is filled with the bright moonlight and there are also stars shining on the horizon.
It seems to envelop the entire world.
In this dark world without sunlight, there is a unique beauty.
Li Yuan and Jiang Shi lay on the clouds, taking a short rest.
"Brother Jiang Shi, have you...ever been to the horizon?"
Li Yuan sat up from the clouds and looked at the starry sky. Looking at the hazy outlines of the stars, he couldn't help but feel a little yearning.
Faced with his questions, Jiang Shi slowly sat up from the cloud.
After riding on the cloud many times, he no longer had much reaction to flying and had adapted to it.
"We have not left the plateau for nearly a hundred years...
Jiang Shi felt a little emotional. When he sat up, he looked very strong and much taller than Li Yuan.
"As long as I can remember, staying alive has been my first goal."
Jiang Shi looked towards the horizon, with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.
He is not as brave and fearless as usual, nor is he as domineering and confident as he is when hunting. Instead, he is full of complexity and helplessness.
"Ever since my father, mother, and sister died in the harsh winter, keeping my people alive has become my top priority."
"But no matter how hard I hunt, there is never enough food, and the harsh winters...will always take away the people I care about."
Jiang Shi slowly stood up from the clouds and looked at the vast land under the sky in a daze for a long time.
"You know what, Brother Li Yuan..."
"The earth is our hunting ground; death is our destination."
"The horizon, the stars, the gods and demons... everything is so far away from us, so far away..."
"When I was a kid, I might have been curious about these things... but when I grew up, protecting my people to survive became a warrior's duty."
The youngest hunter of the Tianhuang tribe placed his fist on his chest and looked up at the gray and hazy sky, as if he was making some kind of oath.
Li Yuan sat on the cloud, looking at Jiang Shi's broad back, as if he saw the shadow of an old friend, and something in his heart seemed to loosen.
He remembered a figure that was always vivid.
Coming out of the blur, things gradually became clear in his mind.
He was the leader of a group of children and the backbone of a village in a deserted mountain.
Once in front of him, curiously asked:
"Master Mountain God, is there really a universe outside the sky?"
"Instead of fire, is there anything else that can emit light?"
"As long as civilization develops, will mortals be able to fly into the sky?"
The young man who has grown up from a naughty child has the purest curiosity and the most sincere desire for knowledge.
But I know in my heart that this is a truth that I will never touch.
Because his life has been dedicated to his homeland.
Until death and burial in the earth, I never knew the answers to all these questions.
Li Yuan murmured: "Xiaohu... Zhang Xiaohu..."
At this moment, part of the memory was forcibly revived from some kind of blockage and was re-imprinted in Li Yuan's mind.
He remembered that he was a mountain god.
Anshan Mountain God.
The most unqualified yet most independent mountain god.
......
After chatting, the two continued to search and dig.
Even though they provoked a lot of sleeping primitive beasts, the two of them were often in trouble.
But the long and harsh winter is finally over.
With Li Yuan's assistance, the Tianhuang tribe survived this severe winter with minimal casualties.
The appearance of the Flint Formation will also affect future severe winters.
The moment when the snow stopped.
It represents the return of the sun god.
His light illuminated half of the chaos and once again illuminated this incomplete world.
It was beyond Li Yuan's expectation.
The completely frozen ground was actually melted directly by the strong sunlight.
He had expected it to be something... something about the evolution of the laws of chaos.
The result was that the sun god ignored his own power, and after returning, he melted the thick ice of the entire world across a long distance with a complete and violent posture.
Not until all the ice on the earth melted did the sun god seem to have mastered its strength. He slowly restrained the sunlight and controlled it to the limit that weak creatures could bear.
The melting of the ice that had frozen the entire earth should have caused a flood that swept across the world.
However, under the terrifying light of the sun, the water was burned into smoke before it could gather together.
All creatures on earth, as long as they have experienced the harsh winter, understand that they can only go out when the sun becomes "mild" again.
When Jiang Shi had to return to the stone house and use the remaining ice and snow to resist the sunlight that seemed to melt everything.
Li Yuan just floated quietly in the sky, facing the destructive light that covered everything, silently looking at the giant star called "the Sun".
He even saw a majestic figure standing in the center of the sun, like an inviolable god.
However, after most of the power in Li Yuan's body disappeared, his existence was too small.
Without any connection, he could not attract the attention of the being on the sun.
"Could that be the Sun God in my memory? A Sun God before mythology, the innate Sun God from the Age of Chaos."
Li Yuan murmured softly. Although he was curious, he would not do anything deliberately.
He was floating in the sky, counting the days silently.
Until the sunlight slowly returns to peace and no longer harms all things on the earth.
Li Yuancai silently flew back to the earth, and flew back to the land of the Tianhuang tribe that had been unsealed from under the ice.
"About seven days, from the peak of violence... to the warm and harmless..."
He brought back detailed information and informed the people of the Tianhuang tribe.
As for whether there are any rules or changes...
After the next severe winter, someone will go and try to collect evidence.
That's life.
As long as there is a "pioneer", those who come after him will always come forward to verify and seek the truth.
