Under the waterfall, the busy figures of the soldiers seemed to be racing against time, trying to set up as many traps as possible before the first snow fell on the earth.
If they find the young clan leader when it snows, it will be the best result. They can just go back to the tribe then. It doesn't matter whether these traps are used or not.
But if Ye Qiong is still not found after the first snow falls, it will be more troublesome...
These traps will definitely come in handy by then.
The soldiers here have also felt that the density of monsters in the dense forest seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
If Daidai and Dajun hadn't controlled the situation, they would have been attacked by the herd.
There is no need to hunt now. What the soldiers can do now is to build as many defenses as possible in the past few days.
In the dense forest, the branches and leaves of some trees have turned yellow. After breaking away from the trees, they float down. This process will continue for a while with the arrival of winter.
And winter is just around the corner.
A breeze blew in the sky, and the sky that had been clear for a long time finally began to change. Light gray dark clouds began to slowly gather in the sky.
After a cup of tea, fine raindrops began to float from the sky. These raindrops hit the soldiers' bodies and could not wet the linen clothes in a short time.
At the same time, my temperature began to continue to drop, and slowly, it finally turned into white particles as small as dust.
The white particles were slowly increasing in size, slowly turning into the perfect symmetrical shape of a polygon, fluttering in the sky and falling to the ground.
Outside the Dinglong Mountains...
Snowflakes have begun to float, and within the Dinglong Mountains, the blue mother star can now be seen. The star's light continues to shine on the earth and shines on the cabin where Ye Qiong is located.
Although the weather is still sunny here, the temperature continues to drop, getting colder every day. Ye Qiong is now very thick, in order to allow his limbs to retain the maximum flexibility.
Ye Qiong didn't wear much on his arms and legs, but he wore three vests on his chest. The innermost one was close-fitting and was made by Tang Ying herself, and it was also the most comfortable. One piece, and the other two pieces, were made by Ye Qiong himself after entering the Dinglong Mountains. The raw materials used were the skins of guard beasts.
Not only does it keep you warm, it also has good defense, and it cannot be bitten by ordinary high-level monsters.
As the temperature continued to drop, Ye Qiong had also made preparations to keep out the cold in winter, that is, knee pads and leggings. Ye Qiong couldn't make woolen pants, so he had to settle for the next best thing and get two pairs of knee pads and leggings. But I’m not in a hurry to wear it now.
As the saying goes, spring covers autumn and autumn freezes. Ye Qiong is still prepared to let himself freeze for a few more days. First, let his body continue to adapt to the current temperature. When the first snow falls, he will put on warm knee pads and leggings. .
Otherwise, in the depth of winter, the body will be even more unable to withstand temperatures as low as 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
Ye Qiong is now half squatting on the water side. The current water area has shrunk severely, leaving only a pool with a diameter of about a hundred meters. The plane of the pool is consistent with the position of the shoal in the distance.
In other words, even if the water flow in the channel disappears now, the water level in the pool will not continue to drop. When winter comes, the water will gradually freeze with heavy snowfall, which will last until eighteen months. After that, in the coming spring, the ice will gradually melt...
Whether the fish inside can withstand the winter depends on their own fate.
Under normal circumstances, fish in the water are very hungry. In his last life, Ye Qiong helped his female boss raise arowanas for a while during an undercover mission, so he knew a lot about this stuff. It won't die if it doesn't eat. The male dragon fish will hold its young in its mouth to hatch them. This process takes about two months.
During this process, the male arowana cannot eat any food.
Therefore, most fish are very resistant to hunger. After winter comes, although the water surface will freeze, the bottom will not freeze, giving the fish in the pool a lot of living space.
Even if the water below completely sinks into the ground, some fish below will wrap themselves in the mud and survive until the spring of the second year, or even the spring of the third year...
The water in the channel is still flowing outside, but the water flow has become much smaller.
The current flow of water is less than one-tenth of what it was when Ye Qiong first came here, reaching a very low level. Ye Qiong felt that if he wanted to, he could try to go back with the water flowing.
However, soaking in water at this time is obviously not a good choice. The temperature is so low that it will not take long for the body to become hypothermic.
What follows is the fate of freezing to death.
So although Ye Qiong wanted to go out as soon as possible, he also knew in his heart that it was best to wait until the water flow in the water channel stopped before going out, which would be foolproof.
Now, if you go against the current and go upstream, the risk is still very high. The waterway of more than ten kilometers is still in the dark underground passage, which is very difficult.
Ye Qiong looked up at the sky and felt that something was not right on the peaks outside the Dinglong Mountains. It seemed to be much darker than usual. Thinking of the time now, the weather had probably changed, so he turned towards Walked over to the wooden house.
After arriving at the wooden house, Ye Qiong began to sort out all the supplies he currently had.
No matter what, as the first snow is about to fall, Ye Qiong must prepare now...
Night falls quietly.
Outside the Dinglong Mountains, under the waterfall.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the soldiers' hearts are also hanging.
On the one hand, it is snowing heavily and the temperature has dropped to several degrees below zero.
As the temperature of the waterfall dropped, and the water source upstream was cut off, only a trickle of about one meter in diameter remained.
The water level in the pool has also been maintained at a stable position.
The passage has been exposed.
In just one night, most of the channel was flooded, but now there is only a shallow stream of water left. It seems that the channel will dry up soon.
"Ouch..."
On the other side of the water, two loud beast roars sounded almost simultaneously.
The moment this sound sounded, within the dense forest, whether it was on the side of the Ye Qiong tribe warriors or on the other side of the water, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, the dense forest that had been quiet for a whole night, suddenly It started to boil.
Within the dense forest...
Countless trees almost trembled slightly together. The large monsters running in the dense forest caused the snow that had accumulated on them overnight to begin to fall.
Looking down from the air, it is very shocking.
Those monsters began to run towards a location crazily.
This is where those two loud beast roars came from!
