After Ye Qiong left, the soldiers immediately started a new day's work.
The amount of snowfall in this blizzard was very large. In previous years, such large-scale snowfall in late winter was very rare.
The timber base is in a state of being directly flooded, and the soldiers have been very busy these days.
If the snow around the timber base is not cleared, it will be difficult to carry out subsequent construction tasks.
However, heavy snow also has some advantages. For example, after a snowfall of this magnitude, there is no need to worry about the appearance of beasts in a short period of time.
Only high-level monsters can barely wade through such heavy snow. Low-level monsters will disappear when they go in. They need to wait until the snow is hard enough before they can come out.
Although the guardian beasts and king-level monsters can still walk, without the low-level monsters and high-level monsters as cannon fodder, the beast tide will not be able to achieve anything.
Ye Qiong and Daidai were still in the dense forest. It was already noon, and they had only walked more than half of the distance.
The trail in the dense forest can no longer be seen, and we can only rely on the taller surface trees as anchor points to continue moving forward. At this point in time, ordinary people riding snow-covered magic wolves can be said to be in the dense forest. It is difficult to move even an inch.
At dusk, movement finally came from the dense forest in front of the waterfall. Dadai and Ye Qiong emerged from the dense forest in a rather embarrassed state.
Now Ye Qiong's head is basically covered with snow, his eyebrows are white, and there is a circle of fine white ice shards on his chin.
The same goes for Daidai's head. In some places with deep snow in the jungle, Daidai climbed directly over...
It was hard for Daidai and Ye Qiong. After setting off from the timber base in the morning, they arrived at the waterfall base. On the way, neither Daidai nor Ye Qiong ate anything.
At the waterfall base, the soldiers are also clearing the snow. Compared with the timber base over there, the situation is slightly better. After all, one side is downwind and the other side is against the wind.
After Ye Qiong arrived, he saw Qing Zhi inside the base.
This winter, for Qing Zhi, Qing Lie, and Xinka, is a winter different from previous years.
In previous years, he basically stayed in the tree palace, waiting for the coming spring. If there was not enough food, in late winter, Qinglie would take Xinka and a few forest apes along the trees. Hunting downstream of the creek from the palace.
In the stream that never stops flowing in winter, you can catch large fish in it even in winter.
It is rare to encounter situations of insufficient food inside.
The soldiers heated dinner for Ye Qiong and Daidai, and Ye Qiong was dragged by Qing Zhi to ask about the eyeless monsters. Qing Zhi was very curious about those eyeless monsters.
It was obvious that she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of monster the creature that emerged from the ground looked like without eyes.
Ye Qiong could only describe it to her so that she could have a rough impression in her mind. When she was free, she could take her there to have a look.
If some more powerful creatures suddenly appear in the cave behind, they may also need the help of Qing Zhi, Qing Lie, and the forest ape.
Early the next morning, the weather was quite good. After the snow had just fallen, the visibility in the air was still very high.
After the soldiers got up, they began to sort out the supplies and gathered all the hemp ropes and vines under the waterfall.
Today Ye Qiong plans to get all these things up and then start exploring the space in the left passage.
Comparatively speaking, the space on the left is easier to explore. For so long, hard cutting on the stepped walls on the right has no significant effect.
After being almost ready, Ye Qiong led people directly to climb up from the dense forest next to the waterfall, and then began to descend along the vines.
If you climb from the bottom of the waterfall to the top, it will consume a lot of energy. Climbing to the top of the waterfall and descending along the vines will be much easier. With a safety rope, you can save a lot of energy.
Even for Qiongqi's warriors, if they climbed vertically to the center of a waterfall of more than 200 meters with their hands and feet, relying on vines from below, their muscles would be easily strained.
Although the other side of the jungle is also very steep, there is a slope at least, and it is easy to use your feet.
After arriving in the cave, Xinka took several forest apes and began to pull the vines and hemp ropes tied together under the waterfall.
After getting all the supplies that were needed in the space on the left, Ye Qiong led everyone and the forest ape directly to the cliff on the left side of the passage.
Feeling the dark space in front of me again, I was still very shocked.
After tying up a wooden barrel grease lamp, he began to put it down. For safety reasons, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to drive a total of fifteen wooden stakes on the edge of the cliff, on the ground and on the wall, and then took the responsibility of putting them down. The soldiers who lowered the barrels of grease lamps also carried a safety rope around their waists.
Ye Qiong had a safety rope tied around his waist and looked down from the edge.
The wooden barrel grease lamp is now lit, tied up with three thinner hemp ropes. After being gathered together, it becomes a larger one with a flame area in the middle, forming a triangular space that can The flames burn wildly.
The hemp ropes and vines prepared now are very sufficient. Ye Qiong watched the small flame of the barrel grease lamp falling little by little.
At first, if you stuck your head out from where Ye Qiong was, you could actually see some of the conditions on the wall under the cliff.
But as the barrel grease lamp gets deeper and deeper, the range that the flame can illuminate does not change much, but the area of the wall that Ye Qiong can see becomes smaller and smaller.
After the wooden barrel grease lamp dropped to a height of about a hundred meters, Ye Qiong could only see the burning flame when looking at the wooden barrel grease lamp, and could not see anything in the surrounding area.
And the flame burning in the wick became smaller and smaller.
This kind of scene will put more and more pressure on people's hearts. Some people who are more likely to mentally hint at their personalities will involuntarily imagine that there are some giant creatures below when they encounter this kind of scene.
Kind of like that deep water phobia feeling.
The wooden barrel grease lamp continued to lower, and Ye Qiong pulled his body back a little. Now there was nothingness in front of Ye Qiong. He couldn't see anything, and it felt like no light could shine out. At this time, it was actually necessary to lean out. A lot of courage.
