After the dangerous experience just now, Bai Zhe's next actions seemed to be much more cautious.
Survey the surroundings carefully and move forward with concentration.
He took out his reluctant hand from his pocket, inserted it into the snow, picked up the white snow stuff and put it into his mouth. Let the temperature of your mouth melt the snow to replenish some water. As your Adam's apple swings, the melted snow water will be swallowed.
It was difficult to walk in the heavy snow and blurred vision, and just walking in the snow up to his calves consumed a lot of his energy, and he also had to pay attention to whether there were wild animals around him.
Less than ten minutes into the difficult operation, Bai Zhe was already out of breath. He put his hand on a pine tree and gasped for air.
Bai Zhe's nose was red, and the bags under his eyes were slightly purple. A closer look showed that his ears were already purple from the cold.
After observing the surroundings, it seemed that there was no place nearby for him to rest. At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and continue moving forward. After all, there was no reason to stay where he was.
Walking in the biting cold wind, the cold wind blew on Bai Zhe's face, causing the skin to crack unknowingly. The cold wind blew over the cracked skin and caused pain.
As the vision became clearer, a red light was discovered on the black rock wall ahead.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a large piece of dark red crystal embedded in the rock wall.
The strange thing is that there is no snow around the crystal!
Bai Zhe stretched out his hand and carefully touched the crystal. The heat was obviously radiated from the crystal. The moment his fingers touched it, he felt the warmth, which was very comfortable.
System: [Deep Red Stone], the crystal contains the element of fire.
Bai Zhe thought for a while, then slowly pulled out the sword from the scabbard, held the sword in his backhand, and smashed the crystal with the handle, trying to knock down the deep red stone and use it as a mobile heat source. Convenient for keeping warm while on the move.
But the hardness of the deep red stone was far beyond his imagination, and the subsequent full-force impacts were in vain.
boom!
But there was a definite spark.
Bai Zhe blinked for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Isn't this just flint and steel!"
With an excited smile on his face, he couldn't help but clenched the handle of the knife and hit it hard several times. He was determined to take out this deep red stone. This was his only fire-making equipment in this snow-capped mountain.
After tinkering for about five minutes, his palms were a little weak at this time, and the flesh in his palms was hard, and there seemed to be signs of blisters.
"..."
At this time, Bai Zhe's face became ugly. Now his calves were so cold that he had lost all feeling. He knew that he needed a fire source to keep warm, otherwise it would be difficult to persevere under such heavy snow today.
The deep red stone in front of him was his only hope, and he could only smash it one after another.
Click!
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and due to Bai Zhe's efforts, there was an obvious crack in the large piece of deep red stone.
With a few more heavy knocks, a thumb-sized dark red stone fell from the large crystal, and quickly fell into the white snow. In an instant, the surrounding white snow turned into water, as if it was concave. piece.
Bai Zhe stretched out his frozen hands tremblingly and picked up the warm deep red stone. He felt full warmth in the palm of his hand. At this time, he was tired and hungry, so he continued to move forward slowly with his tired body.
After walking about two to three hundred meters, they found a cave, which gave Bai Zhe hope.
My tired body seemed to have received a stimulant. I forgot about my fatigue and tried my best to move towards the cave.
I tried my best to move forward, but when I fell to the ground... I don't know. The feeling in his legs had long been lost, and he held the thumb-sized dark red stone tightly in his hand, dragging his trembling body into the cave, curling up like this... and losing consciousness.
The deep red stone held in Bai Zhe's hand spared no effort to dissipate its own heat for him.
…
It was a miracle that Bai Zhe could survive. As he slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returned to consciousness.
At this time, the rare sunlight in the snow-capped mountains shone into the cave. Bai Zhe's face had lost all color, and his pale complexion seemed to express his condition.
The bitter snowstorm outside had stopped at some point. The exit of the cave was mostly covered in snow, and it looked like it needed to be cleaned up before leaving.
The chapped lips were a little sticky, and there was a strange sticky feeling in the throat, which made Bai Zhe feel uncomfortable and retching.
After a while, Bai Zhe then picked up a piece of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. After all, this was the only water source he could get at the moment.
In desperation, he picked up the snow and took a few more bites. Although this would take away a lot of heat from his body, he had no other choice.
Using the tachi as a wooden stick, he peeled away the snow covering the entrance of the cave. The thick snow covered everything. The traces of the road that could be seen before were now invisible at all. It seemed that the previous snowstorm would The entire road is covered.
In the forest not far away, there were many trees weighed down by heavy snow. After using his tachi as a tool to test the thickness of the snow, he carefully confirmed the road and then walked with difficulty under the snow that was up to his waist.
I cut some firewood and couldn't drag it back, so I had to deal with the length and carry it back to the cave.
Bai Zhe was already very tired from just collecting firewood.
It takes more energy than expected.
Bai Zhe, who returned to the cave, sat on the ground, pulled out his sword, and picked a relatively dry branch. With such heavy snow, there was basically no dry firewood in the forest.
Use a knife to scrape the selected branches into velvet, which will make it easier to make a fire.
Why does Bai Zhe know this knowledge? After all, he is also someone who has seen survival in the wilderness. The best skill of Mr. Bei and Mr. De is to make fire, and at least they have memorized some of them.
Bai Zhe carefully took out the deep red stone the size of his thumb from his pocket. Then he made an experimental stroke on the ground, and the huge sparks exceeded his expectation.
It is indeed an ore with the element of fire according to the system evaluation. Although it is not as hot as the one he just got, it can produce such a large spark star, which makes him overjoyed.
"Wait...fire element, is there such a thing in the Honkai world? Is it a mutated ore produced by Honkai energy? It seems that there should be less Honkai energy in this area, otherwise there wouldn't be even Honkai beasts and Even the dead soldiers can’t see it.”
Until now, Bai Zhe thought he had traveled to a collapsing world.
…
Click, click.
Use the deep red stone to hit the rock wall crazily, trying to make the sparks fall into the sky, but the landing point of the sparks is always unsatisfactory.
After going down several times in a row, he didn't even fall into the wood wool.
At this time, Bai Zhe's palms were a little purple from the cold, but the method in front of him was his only hope.
Bang, bang, bang.
Finally, a spark fell into the wood velvet, but it was extinguished before Bai Zhe could pick it up.
At this time, Bai Zhe's mentality changed. He punched the rock wall hard. He already felt that his hand seemed to be a little swollen, and even the pain was delayed.
The current situation is not good. Compared with his peers, Bai Zhe is more mature, probably because of his early experiences.
He forced himself to calm down, and his frustration made him sit down against the rock wall. He lifted up his clothes and put his hands on his warm belly. The moment his frozen hands were placed on his belly, he shuddered.
Now I can only curl up to keep myself warm, and then slowly close my eyes and rest for a while.
