Release that Witch Chapter 1204: Spine of the mainland
When the sun goes down, the temperature between the mountains drops quickly.
It's time to find an overnight place, Lightning thought. The temperature difference on the top of the desperate situation is astonishing. After crossing the sea of clouds, the sunlight during the day is like cooking people. If it is not covered, the skin of expose will be easily sunburned. Once at night, the howling cold wind will quickly take away all the heat. If you still sleep on the treetops as in Hidden Forest, I am afraid that it will freeze to dry the next day.
So you must find a safe haven before the night completely covers the earth.
"That's all for today," said Lightning, pulling out Listening Sigil, "I'll go find the nest, and you'll bring something to eat."
Macy can't talk back in flight, but she knows that the other party heard her contact.
Then she lowered her altitude and entered the ground-flight state set off. The Agatha repeatedly told her that when looking for the track of Devil, she either flew high or walked close to her. Never change the path at will. Otherwise, once you accidentally enter the area affected by the God stone vein, no one can save it.
Lightning strictly enforced this order. In this vast mountains, no one can help her in any accident. She must take care of herself and Macy at the same time.
Since she had paid attention to possible hiding places during the previous search, she quickly found an grotto halfway up the mountainside. The terrain here is like a stone forest, with almost tens of thousands of hills at almost the same height. Crowded together, each hill is almost the size of Neverwinter City, and it will not make people look at it outside, but it has a wonderful change here, as if the top of Foshan was carved by a large hand.
The gap between the hilltops and the hilltops becomes a natural water channel. When encountering heavy rain, the torrents will carry the force of the sweep down. What's more important is that the climate on the high mountains is extremely violent. It may be thousands of miles clear here. There is already a lightning flash over there. If inexperienced explorers choose to camp in the mountains for convenience, it is likely to be caught in the middle of the night. With no sign of flooding, people rushed up and down, so no matter whether there is an ideal shelter, the landing point must be selected high.
Since entering this mountainous area called continental spine, she has witnessed similar situation several times.
In addition, the hilltops here are different from other places. Most of the time, the peaks and stone walls should be steep and sharp. However, these hills are basically round and have some soft couches. They are covered with recesses. It doesn't seem to be a naturally formed rock, but what the fluid looks like after it has solidified.
Fortunately, they still retain the rigidity of the stone, which is enough to support a shelter.
This time, grotto is quite large, almost ten meters square, and there are some weed branches scattered in it. It is estimated that it was left by birds and beasts when they made their nests. After confirming that there is no potential danger, Lightning notified the location to Macy, and then picked up the temporary residence.
When the afterglow of the setting sun was completely replaced by night, the Macy transformed into a snowy owl also returned to grotto. She shook her feathers and regained her adult form. She raised her sac as a gift, "Look what I found!"
Lightning took the bag and pulled out a pheasant and four huge bird eggs from it. This is a rare gain on the top of despair, even the hunting experienced Macy may not always be full.
"Good job!"
Lightning touched her head and replaced her with a proud smile, "hehe."
The bonfire rose quickly. She surrounded the stove with the mud deposited at the bottom of the mountain to prevent the fire from being found. Then she covered the mud on the hairless pheasant and put it in the fire. Cover with bird eggs.
Thirty minutes later, dinner is complete.
This cooking method has been implemented many times in Hidden Forest.
The moment when the mud shell was knocked open, a rich fragrance instantly poured into the nasal cavity of the two.
The fat leached out of the skin makes the chicken sparkle, and the spices filled in the belly are fully excited under the baking, and then melt into the whole body along with the scorching heat; after removing the soft outer skin, the rest is tender Delicious cuisine. Unlike the finished product which is directly cooked by the flame, there is no burn mark on the whole chicken, the meat is as white as new, and the filaments can be seen when tearing.
With steamed bird eggs, the two ate their mouthfuls of oil in a short while, without even letting go of the chicken bones.
"Well," Macy exhaled, "It's still the most delicious food you grab."
When this guy first met, he still accused himself of "you actually want to eat a bird".
Lightning shook his head funnyly, "Did you find anything today? Except what you eat."
"Well, no goo ... the landscape here is basically the same, if there is a trace of Devil operations, I will definitely find goo."
Sure enough, if the God stone veins were buried deep in underground, it would be too difficult to find clues by aerial investigation alone. I don't know where the Taqila's support fleet is now. If they can give a general direction, even if the positioning is fuzzy, it is much better than blindly searching now.
Lightning depresses distractions, pointing to grotto, "Since this is the case, then go to bed for me!"
"Oh, goo." Macy dragged her long white hair to her designated location, and turned into Dread Beast in a group.
Lightning extinguished the afterglow, lay in her belly and was restricted by the size of the nest. The two people's heating methods were different. Compared to squeezing in a small sleeping bag, Macy obviously used Dread Beast to resist the cold wind. More comfortable, at least her belly is like a huge stove, enough to ensure that she won't wake up at night.
However, this is not without its disadvantages. The surface of Dread Beast is quite rough, and it can even be described by shaving. Lightning can't help remembering the fur of Logia.
"Are you still awake?" Seeing her set off Guang magic stone, Macy asked, turning his head.
"Yeah, I have to record today's route. It won't take long before you go to sleep."
"Okay." Macy whispered Weng Qi, and after a while, she suddenly muttered again, "You will continue to take me on adventures, right?"
Lightning startled, then whispered back, "Of course it is."
After Ash is gone, I will take the responsibility of protecting you.
After hearing answer, Macy finally closed his eyes.
Lightning took a long time to sit out before taking out the notepad from the waist bag.
This is the tenth day that they have entered the northern mountainous area of Kingdom of Eternal Winter, and the search distance has reached about 120 kilometers. The deeper she reached the top, the more she felt small. In this place where no one has ever stepped in, she saw a lot of indescribable landscapes such as Fertile Plain mountains and stone forests, ice waterfalls that hang straight into the sea from the northeast side, sea of clouds rising like stairs, and continental spine The huge rift in the center ... Compared to this area, the Impassable Mountain Range separating Four Great Kingdoms is just a branch that spreads out. These scenes are hidden on the top of the mountain. If you do not cross the cliff-like cliffs, you will not be able to see them.
Lightning faintly understands why his father was so addicted to adventure.
The world is too vast. If you do n’t open your eyes to see it, people will always be insignificant. Only through understanding can we make ourselves bigger.
Determining to become explorer is the most correct choice in her life.
Of course, exploring the world can be done later. Lightning has not forgotten that he still has a mission. If he flies too far away from Eternal Winter, the search efficiency is low, and it will also worry the support team. In terms of time, the "Roland" should also reach Eternal Winter seaport soon.
She glanced at the hand-drawn map for a few moments, and set her eyes on the Great Rift.
From a distance, it seems to be a raised platform in the stone forest, but the middle is hollow, and it is difficult to determine how deep it is.
Compared to the stone forest, which has little change, at least the section below the surface of the rock can be seen there.
If no trace of God stone veins or Devil has been found, she should consider whether she should return to Eternal Winter and merge with the support team before making the next step.
