Bai Che opened the cave very quickly. In a short time, he had opened a shelter that was big enough for one person to rest. Because of time constraints, Bai Che planned to wait until it was safer during the day before digging deeper, and he would make do with it tonight.
After Bai Che packed up the items scattered in the snow, he got into it, and then buried the entrance of the cave with snow. In this way, Bai Che's tense nerves relaxed.
Bai Che was very tired. After eating some dried meat, he fell asleep. However, he still held the long knife tightly in his hand, which had become a habit of his.
The night passed quickly, and the next day, Bai Che opened his sleepy eyes. He swept away the snow at the entrance of the cave, and a ray of sunlight shone into the cave, making Bai Che feel a ray of warmth in the ice and snow.
Bai Che plans to dig the cave deeper today. After all, he doesn't know how long he will stay in this second snow mountain. Then, he will make the few white bears he killed into dried meat as his own. As for food, a few white bears would be enough for Bai Che to eat for a long time. At least, Bai Che would not have a headache from food in a short period of time.
Just as he said, Bai Che took out the giant bird's wings and used it as a shovel to open up the cave. Bai Che opened up several paths as escape routes in case of accidents.
A few days later, Bai Che's cave was opened. Then, he dug out the buried white bears, skillfully skinned them, divided the meat, and then roasted them over fire. Finally, he obtained a large amount of dried meat and several complete white bear skins. .
Bai Che then repeatedly rubbed the white bear skin with snow water and roasted it with a flame, and finally made several thick blankets and a thick bear skin coat.
Sitting on the blanket, wearing a bearskin coat and chewing dried meat in his mouth, Bai Che's body finally warmed up. The best thing is that the bearskin coat exudes the scent of a white bear, which can mask Bai Che's own scent. , Bai Che's safety improved a lot when climbing over the snowy mountains.
After solving the problems of shelter, food and clothing, Bai Che thought about how to continue to sharpen his sword skills and sharpen his sword intention.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Che still believed that actual combat was the fastest way to improve, so Bai Che walked out of the cave with a long knife.
He climbed up the invisible mountain road in the snow-capped mountains. Soon, he met a group of white bears looking for food, but these white bears seemed to be even bigger.
Bai Che's heart changed, and he picked up the knife and went out to kill.
In an instant, the white bear roared and the sword flashed.
In the end, Bai Che was surrounded by a group of white bears and could only take the opportunity to roll into the snow and crawl back to the cave.
After returning from the defeat this time, Bai Che realized that the white bears he had killed before were not yet mature, weak, and there were not many in number, so he could succeed. However, when he encountered a group of adult white bears, Bai Che could only take a detour. Walk.
"We have to look for adult white bears traveling alone." Bai Che murmured to himself, "Only in this way can we better sharpen our sword skills and sharpen our sword intentions."
The next day, Bai Che went out again, but he still met a group of white bears. Bai Che came back defeated again, and was even almost slapped to death.
On the third day, I returned with a huge defeat...
On the fourth day, I still came back defeated...
...
But Bai Che did not give up. As he returned from defeat day by day, Bai Che also gradually understood some basic information about these white bears. It turned out that there was a group of white bears near the top, and a large number of white bears lived here. .
Bai Che had a headache. He couldn't break through such a huge number of white bears no matter what.
Just when Bai Che was at a loss what to do, suddenly, a group of white apes appeared out of nowhere and attacked Bai Xiong's group.
That day, Bai Che was hiding in a secret place looking for the lone white bear. A large group of white apes smashed the white bear with huge ice balls, and the two instantly started a fierce war.
This battle was fought in darkness, with roars and screams coming one after another. Blood seeped into the ice and snow, and the smell of blood filled the surrounding area.
Corpses fell one after another on the snow, like a purgatory on earth. Seeing this, Bai Che couldn't suppress his surprise, but he covered his mouth for fear of being heard by these terrible creatures and affecting himself.
The war lasted for several days, and at every moment, a white bear or ape was injured or fell. On several occasions, the white bear's torn paws and the white ape's severed head fell in front of Bai Che.
In the end, the war ended with a lose-lose outcome for both parties.
As the two left, Bai Che planned to see if he could fight back, but as soon as Bai Che took a step, Bai Che heard that loud and familiar cry.
Bai Che followed the sound and saw the giant bird slowly falling from the sky.
The moment it fell, Bai Che saw the ferocious look in its eyes. The bodies of some injured white bears and white apes that fell to the ground were obviously trembling. They seemed to have forgotten that they were seriously injured and were not going to die soon, and they were just trembling helplessly. .
Bai Che knew that this was a fear deep in his bones.
"This time, you didn't fight fiercely enough..." To Bai Che's surprise, the giant bird spoke human words and said calmly: "Have you forgotten what I said?"
Then, a huge white bear and a huge white ape came out. They were stronger and wanted to be the leader. They bowed respectfully to the giant bird, and then they also spoke human words.
"Dear Lord Gu Diao, the earth has undergone drastic changes, and the races born this year have become increasingly rare. There is no way to carry out large-scale wars for adults to watch and entertain like before, otherwise the population will be exterminated." The white bear leader spoke to the giant bird. .
From the words of the leader of the white bear, Bai Che got a lot of information. For example, the giant bird was called the Gu Eagle, and the war between the white bear and the white ape was just to provide it with entertainment.
"I don't care what the reason is. In short, if you can't meet my requirements, I don't mind exterminating your clan immediately." Gu Diao's voice was cold.
"Dear Lord Gu Diao, if we exterminate the clan, you will no longer be able to see such a war for entertainment. We have reduced the scale of the war just so that you, Lord Gu Diao, can still see such wars in the future." The leader of the White Ape His mind was spinning so fast, he said.
Sure enough, as soon as the white ape leader finished speaking, Gu Diao's cold tone softened a lot, and he slowly said: "This will not happen again."
After a pause, Gu Diao turned around and asked, "Are you ready for this year's sacrifices?"
"Dear Lord Gu Diao, everything is ready." The white bear leader and the white ape leader clapped their hands, and saw a few human children being brought up. They were dressed in nomadic costumes. Bai Che knew that these human children were brought up. Tong Zheng is one of those nomadic people, and they are now in a coma.
"Very good." Gu Diao looked at the few human children, took a greedy breath, and said, "It's really the best."
As he spoke, the Gu Eagle swallowed all the human children into its belly, looking like it was enjoying itself.
Seeing this, Bai Che's eyes were split. He wanted to go out and rescue them, but his reason stopped him. He was no match for them.
After devouring the young child, some changes occurred on the Gu Diao's head. It grew horns, and its appearance was somewhat similar to what was recorded in the strange book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
After a long time, Gu Diao slowly spoke: "Speaking of despicable humans, I remembered one person. A few days ago, on the first mountain, there was a despicable human who injured my wings. I wonder what this despicable human would think? We have to climb over these snow-capped mountains. If you see him, tie him up and I will take out his heart and liver bit by bit."
Hearing this, the leader of the white bear and the leader of the white ape were slightly startled, but they still nodded and said: "I will obey the orders of Lord Gu Diao."
The Gu Eagle nodded, flapped its wings, picked up dozens of white bears and white apes that were still alive, and left.
But the hearts of the white bear leader and the white ape leader aroused a wave of excitement. Can a human hurt the Gu Eagle?
This is completely impossible.
"Is that human being from over there?" the leader of the white ape said with a look in his eyes.
The white bear leader shook his head and said he was not sure, but what was certain was that this human being was very strong and was probably from over there.
Bai Che was also confused by the conversation between the two. Over there? Which way is that?
Is it the other side of the mountain?
Is the mountain on the other side the sea?
The white bear leader and the white ape leader no longer thought about it. The white bear leader sighed: "What should we do about the war next year? Will it continue?"
"What else can we do if we don't continue?" The leader of the white ape asked, "Can we defeat it? In its eyes, we are just sacrifices for its satiety and entertainment."
"Alas..." The white bear leader sighed and said, "If we continue to fight, our population will eventually perish..."
"I know!" The leader of the white ape said sadly, "Then what can we do? If we don't follow its requirements, the population will be wiped out immediately. We are just continuing the race."
"Then why don't you choose to leave here?" Suddenly, a strange voice broke the conversation between the white bear leader and the white ape leader. They followed the sound and saw a tiny human standing in front of them, holding a long knife.
"Human?" The white bear leader and the white ape leader frowned.
When the white bear leader saw the bearskin coat Bai Che was wearing, his eyes suddenly burned with anger. He roared, "It's you! You're harassing our tribe again!"
As he spoke, the white bear leader's huge bear paw was about to be snapped.
Bai Che's expression did not change, and he spoke unhurriedly: "I can kill the Gu Eagle."
"Huh?" Hearing this, the leader of the white bear slapped the iceberg on one side with his huge bear paw. A large piece of ice was shattered, and ice shards fell from the sky, landing in front of Bai Che, on Bai Che's body, and on his face... ....
"Human, do you know what you are talking about?" The leader of the white ape looked at Bai Che with a cold voice.
Bai Che smiled, took out one of the Gu Diao's feathers, and said, "I cut this feather off the Gu Diao's body."
Seeing this, the eyes of the white bear leader and the white ape leader trembled, and they said in unison: "Is this you it's talking about?"
Bai Che nodded.
However, the white bear leader questioned, "I remember that you were beaten to pieces by my tribe every time."
"There are so many of you... Bah, bears, swarming up. With such a big body, who dares to confront you head-on?" Bai Che complained: "Otherwise, you will fall to the ground one by one?"
The white bear leader did not speak, but frowned.
The leader of the white ape said: "But the Gu Eagle alone can overthrow my group and the old bear's group. Moreover, it also leads a large group of carrion eagles. The snow wolves and snow snakes in the 567th Snow Mountain are also loyal to it." subordinate."
Hearing this, Bai Che frowned slightly. He did not expect that the Gu Eagle controlled such a power. This was something he had not imagined. This was indeed a bit troublesome. However, Bai Che believed that everything depends on man-made efforts.
So Bai Che said: "More than half a year ago, I was attacked by a Gu Eagle, but I escaped. Later, I went to ambush it every day. At first, I couldn't hurt it no matter what, but after half a year, I could Cut off its feathers."
"So, as long as you give me time, I can definitely kill it." Bai Che said slowly.
Hearing this, the white bear leader and the white ape leader were silent. It turned out that this human being could not kill the Gu Eagle now, he was just betting that he could surpass the Gu Eagle in the future.
Thinking of this, the white bear leader and the white ape leader shook their heads.
"We can't use the population to gamble on an uncertain possibility." The white bear leader explained.
The leader of the White Ape also said the same, saying: "You can leave, we will not report your whereabouts to the Gu Eagle."
Bai Che nodded, this was their choice.
Bai Che sighed and said: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance. If you just accept the situation, you will only end up with your own destruction."
The two were silent, Bai Che smiled and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
