Great Wilderness Alchemist

Chapter 3, The Trap

"Brother, why did you step on so many footprints on purpose?" Zhuihu, who entered the depths of the snowfield for the first time, was a little incomprehensible to his brother's behavior.Obviously, these half-orcs, as long as they control a little, it is impossible to leave such deep footprints in the snow, but his brother just played cards unreasonably, and even led the footprints to the wrong place.

But when he saw his brother laying out a large number of traps in carefully selected positions, Zhuihu finally understood his brother's behavior, so he also quickly joined in the snow digging operation.

The two of them spent most of the night arranging the arrangement, and finally arranged a satisfactory net.

Chasing the tiger was a little excited, because his brother said - these traps can catch snow wolves!

The snow wolf is a white-level spirit beast, and it is not difficult to deal with it alone. Even a rookie like him can hunt and kill it alone.

But unless the snow wolves were expelled from the group, it would be difficult to meet them alone. When they acted, they would usually be in groups. Without a team of ten snowwalkers to encircle and suppress them, don't try to attract their attention.

He had never followed his elder brother to hunt in the depths of the snowfield before. Firstly, it was because he was still young, and secondly, because he had not awakened his bloodline before.

Half-orcs without awakened blood are similar to ordinary humans. They cannot trek deep in the snowfield for a long time, not to mention the terrifying low temperature that can freeze an ordinary person to death in an instant, even the tornado that blows from time to time. Can blow him to the sky...

Of course, the above is what his brother told him. Anyway, so far, except for the terrifying low temperature, he has never experienced a tornado in the snowy area.

His brother also said that the most terrifying thing in the depths of the snow field is not the extreme weather and ferocious spirit beasts, but the monsters hidden deep in the snow.

Those monsters are not difficult to deal with when they are larvae. It can be said that their combat power is almost zero, so that they can only parasitize passing spirit beasts, but once they pass the larval stage, no matter how powerful their parasites are, they will eventually become theirs. Food, turned into the nourishment for their growth.

The adult monster has an extremely poetic name - "Xuechan".But those who have seen it, don't think the name is soft and beautiful, but are terrified, even terrified.

Regarding the legend of Xuechan, there is no need for my brother to popularize it. Chasing the tiger has almost been heard since childhood.When he was young, his father often frightened him, saying, "If you don't obey, I will drive you out to feed Xuechan", and said that Xuechan is the most terrifying creature in the world, more difficult to guard against than a giant dragon.

At least the dragon is huge, and you can avoid it in advance when you see it from a distance, but when you encounter Xuechan, there is no way to escape except to wipe your neck and wait for death.

It is said that Xuechan has no specific body shape, they can transform into any appearance in this world, even human beings.The only way to tell them apart is their blood, which, unlike humans, is green and highly poisonous.

Of course, the reason why Xuechan is frightening is not because of their high combat effectiveness, but because they can weave illusions.Even the high-level Xuechan can make the contents of the illusion come true, which is very terrifying, and combined with the extreme environment of the snowy area, it makes the scalp tingle.

The reason why Chasing Tiger thought of Xuechan was because his brother caught several Xuechan's cubs when digging traps.It was the first time Zhuihu had seen that thing, it was not slippery, and it had a mouth full of fangs, it was tough and delicious at first glance.

In order to facilitate parasitism, Xuechan's cubs are non-toxic, and even secrete mucus in their bodies that promotes the absorption of spiritual energy.

In short, the price is very suitable for selling it in human towns!This kind of suitability, even when his elder brother saw him salivating and offered to hand it to him to signal him to eat, he was sternly rejected.

If he chases the tiger, he will definitely not drag down his brother and become his brother's burden!

It is not easy for the snowwalkers who live in the snow among the clouds to come to the depths of the snowy area. Not only do they have to prepare a lot of spiritual food and medicine, but they also have to make arrows without sleep for several days.The spirit beasts in the snow region are no different than those outside, not to mention their rough skin and thick flesh, ordinary arrows can't penetrate their steel-like bodies at all.

These half-orcs were not rich in the first place, and if they chose to consume all the harvested spirits, then they would not have any supplies to enter the depths of the snowy region next time.Without Xueyu's deep source of income, it means that their strength cannot go any further. If this continues, they will be eliminated by Yunjianxue sooner or later.

As an out-and-out snowwalker, how could he not understand this kind of common sense?
……

Seeing the disappearance of the footprints, Fairy thought she had finally found that human being, but no, what appeared before her was not her own kind, but a group of pure white wolves that almost blended into the snow scene—wolves.

The fairy couldn't see how many wolves there were. In the small snow-capped mountains, there were forest-green wolf eyes scattered everywhere.

Hearing the movement, they twisted their necks and looked at the fairy in unison. Being stared at by so many pairs of cold eyes at the same time, the fairy seemed to have been cast with a holding spell, and the blood in the whole body couldn't stop flowing backwards. , A gust of cold air rushed into the head along the legs that were sunk in the snow layer, and finally sank into the Tianling Cap.

Fairy chose to escape without any hesitation.

She knew that she couldn't outrun this group of four-legged wolves, whether it was the soft snow that would sink if she stepped on it, or the natural running talent of wolves, she had no chance of escaping.

But she doesn't want to die!

Fairy ran and crawled forward with all her strength, she only hated why the soft snow was not flat, so that she could walk like a superman.

Undoubtedly, the pack of wolves immediately chased after her. They were not affected by the soft snow at all, and their fast movements were desperate.Xian Ling thought she was doomed, but something unexpected happened to her!

I saw a few wolves running in the front step on something, and then they were bounced away with a "bang". In the next second, countless arrows shot out from the snow, and then shot with incomparable precision. It hit the head of the wolf flying in the air.

Blood sprayed out like blooming fireworks, and was instantly frozen into ice flowers by the terrifying low temperature. Several stiff wolf carcasses fell on the snow surface, and then slowly sank into the snow layer.

Xian Ling heard a scream from behind, and turned around to see this scene.

'Is there a trap? 'Xian Ling immediately realized that he had been fooled, and the footprints were deliberately left by that human being!The purpose is to lure her here to become the wolf's bait, so that he can make a fisherman profit!
Thinking of this, Xian Ling clenched his back teeth, what a good way!No wonder the human obviously saved her, but left her in the snow, deliberately threw an arrow nearby, and stepped on it so deeply, as if he was afraid that she would not chase after him!

Really careless, I didn't expect the human beings in this world to be so scheming!

……

Even if there is no wind or snow in the snowy night, the frighteningly low temperature can still make the half-orcs with high cold resistance almost freeze to death.Chasing the wolf and chasing the tiger held on to the cold to set up all the traps, and then left the snow mountain col far away.

It wasn't that they didn't want to wait for their prey, but that the snow wolves' noses were particularly sensitive. If they smelled the breath of a living person, they wouldn't be attracted by the bait, but would directly rush towards their hiding place.

So they chose the back side of the mountain from a distance. First, they could quickly climb up the snow mountain to occupy the commanding heights when they heard the sound;

The speed of the snow wolves was not very fast. Before they climbed the snow mountain, Chasing Wolf was confident that he could finish them off. He had hunted wolves alone in this place many times, and he never missed a single shot.

Chasing the tiger couldn't see that his brother was confident, so he was very worried, "Brother, what if there are too many of them and our traps can't trap them at all?"

"Then use the arrows in your hand to shoot them through their heads one by one." Chasing Wolf has always been reticent and rarely comforts his worried brother. On the way back, he was always looking around vigilantly.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhuihu unconsciously glanced at the bow hanging on his waist. This bow was a gift from his brother for his awakening. I heard that he specially asked the only blacksmith in the village to forge it. small price.

Zhuihu couldn't imagine his brother begging for help with a paralyzed face, so the moment he got the bow, he couldn't wait to go hunting with his brother in the depths of the snowy region.

But... when he shot Bai Lingdiao during the day, he almost killed his brother because of his mistake, and he began to feel unconfident in himself.

"The temperature is starting to cool down." Chasing Wolf said suddenly, staring at the moon above his head that was gradually disappearing into the clouds.

"Is it going to fall?" Chase Tiger, who spent the night deep in the snow for the first time, felt incredible. The current temperature was almost freezing his ears. He really couldn't imagine how much lower the temperature could be.

"When you go back, remember to put turpentine on your body." Chasing Wolf reminded.

"Ah?" Zhuihu's face turned bitter for a moment. There is nothing to say about wiping the house with that thing, but when you put it on your body... Can you imagine the feeling of being smeared with a layer of hot oil?Like a barbecue, where can you be comfortable?
It is not incomprehensible to chase a tiger and chase a wolf, but there is no way to do it. No animal's fur can withstand the low temperature deep in the snowy region, unless it is the fur of some fire-attributed spirit beasts.

However, most of the fire-type spirit beasts lived in the middle volcano, and Yun Jianxue couldn't find one at all.There are some old hunters in the village who still have collections, but they don't have enough for their own use, so they won't sell them no matter what.

So in order to keep out the cold, chasing wolves would bring some snow pine resin with them every time they entered the depths of the snowy area.

It is uncomfortable to apply turpentine on the body, but it will not be frozen into an ice sculpture; and when you sleep overnight, apply a thick layer in the piled igloo, which can also lock the temperature and isolate the invasion of cold air. Make the igloo stronger.

While applying turpentine, Chasing Tiger found that he had lost an arrow. The arrow head was polished with green-grade spirit animal bones, and then painted with a layer of silver milk that could keep the poisonous gas from dispersing for a long time.

His brother made it for several days, and only made more than 20, which are very precious.This discovery made Zhuihu instantly ignore the pain as if being burned by a fire due to the application of pine resin on his body, and he sat up straight in a jerk.

"What's the matter?" Zhui Lang, who was wiping his swords, cast a questioning look at Zhui Hu.

"Brother, the arrow is lost..." Chasing Hu looked at his brother dumbly.

"Where did you lose it?" Compared with chasing the tiger, chasing the wolf is much calmer.

Chasing Hu tried hard to recall, "It should have been accidentally dropped when throwing the female body..."

Chasing wolves: ...

Chasing Wolf was about to say something to criticize Chasing Tiger, when suddenly there was a reindeer's restless chirping outside the igloo. The reindeer who grew up with Chasing Wolf was not an ordinary reindeer, but a green-grade spirit beast.

Not only can it come and go freely in the snowy area, but it is also very psychic. Unless it is an emergency, it will not make such a sound.

Chasing wolves and chasing tigers cheered up when they heard the reindeer's warning.

"Brother, there is a situation!"

Chasing the wolf nodded, and he walked out of the igloo to listen carefully. After a while, his expression changed, "Some prey has been hooked!" He turned his head and told Chasing the tiger, "Take the bow and arrow, and prepare to fight." Then he patted the restless reindeer beside him, " Dude, you guard your things here, and be careful not to be stolen."

There are many thieves deep in the snow layer.

Chasing wolves and chasing tigers took bows and arrows and weapons, and they didn't care about the harvest stored in the igloo. Obviously hunting snow wolves is more important. After all, snow wolves can't be encountered every time. Going out is enough for his family to eat for a year.

The snow-capped mountain is steep and slippery, and it is difficult to climb quickly with a human body. Chasing Wolf had to transform part of his body into a beast. Seeing that his brother was still jumping upwards with all his strength, Chasing Wolf threw him to the ground. back, "Hold on!"

"Brother, when were you able to transform into a beast?" Feeling the lightning-like speed beneath him, Zhuihu was stunned. You must know that none of the half-orcs in their village could completely transform into a beast!
Chasing the wolf thought for a while, "It's been a long time, and the head can't be turned into a beast."

Chasing the tiger took a look, and sure enough, although he was a little sorry for his brother, he had to complain in his heart, the upper body of the huge, graceful blue ice deer was actually a human being, it was really eye-catching.

The speed of the half-orc after animalization was many times faster than that of a human. After a while, he chased the wolf and reached the top of the snow mountain with his brother on his back.

The cold wind on the top of the snow-capped mountain was much stronger than that at the foot of the mountain. Chasing Tiger felt that the fur he was wearing had been blown stiff, and even the thin layer of pine resin on his skin was stained with a layer of frost.

He was sitting on Chasing Wolf's back, the cold wind blowing his hair flying, I saw him glance down the mountain, suddenly pointing to the distance in shock, his voice broke in surprise, "Brother, you Look, it's the female corpse, she's not dead!"

Chasing the wolf looked down, isn't it? Isn't that embarrassed figure almost sunk in the snow layer the female corpse who was obviously out of breath?
……

The trap made by humans was very meticulous, and three waves of wolves had already been caught. Seeing this, the remaining wolves became more cautious in their actions. Even so, they were not slow in chasing the fairy.

Fairy didn't know where the trap set up by humans would be. She was afraid that she would accidentally step on it by mistake, and she would be terrified along the way, so her movements were much slower than expected.

She heard the whistling sound of the cold wind blowing past her ears, snowflakes were blown up and fell into her eyes, she could not feel any cold from the outside world, her body seemed to be covered with a protective mechanism , isolated from the world.

But she was still very cold, this kind of cold came from the bottom of her heart, her hairs stood up involuntarily, and tiny goosebumps spread all over her exposed skin.

Suddenly she heard the sound of piercing through the air behind her, she turned her head suddenly, and saw a giant snow-white wolf jumping high, and then rushed towards her, the height of the leap was even impressive. An illusion that instead of jumping, it flies.

The next second, the fairy's eyes went dark, and she was thrown down in the snow by the snow wolf. The weight of the snow wolf made the fairy's throat sweet, and she almost spat out blood. She tightly grasped the arrow in her hand He tried to lift the arrow, but he was trampled into the deeper snow just as he raised it a little.

The intense fear and the unbearable weight made the fairy almost breathless.Her mind was stimulated several times due to successive bad encounters, so she looked extra stupid. She didn't know whether she was frightened or what was going on, and her whole body was blank.

The giant wolf's saliva wet the fairy's face, and its hot breath was stinky and scalding.The fairy stared at its huge mouth without blinking. The sharp teeth were extraordinarily white under the moonlight. There was no doubt that there was no need to use force when chewing her bones.

However, just as the fairy was panting, unwilling, and fearful, and had to accept her fate, an arrow suddenly shot through the air without warning, and then, in her widened frightened eyes, fiercely shot Inserted the snow wolf's head.

The strong wind brought by the arrow toppled the bangs of the fairy, and she heard a soft "poof", and the warm blood instantly splashed on her face.

There is no one-hit kill scene in novels and movies. After being attacked, the eyes of the giant wolf suddenly turned blood red. She stared at the bloodshot eyes of hatred and turned her head suddenly. It seemed to see something, and then let out a loud cry. The earth-shattering howl.

Xianling felt that her eardrums were being attacked, and her head was buzzing, she couldn't hear any sound, only the long beeps in her head.

"Brother, why can't this wolf be beaten to death?" Unlike fairy spirits who are struggling on the front line of life and death, unscrupulous people in a safe zone can always observe more nuanced.All wolves are sure to kill in one blow under the arrows of chasing wolves, but only this wolf, even with an arrow in the head, can still clamor and turn around to provoke.

Chasing Wolf changed a quiver, which is obviously much more precious than the one just now. Not only is it sealed, but there are only a few dozens of arrows in it.

He counted one out of the new quiver, and then put the silver-white arrow on the string. His eyes locked on the giant wolf's head, and the navy blue eyes seemed a little cold and heartless because they were too focused.

—— "Whoosh", another arrow shot out, hitting Snow Wolf's eye, white mixed with red liquid splashed out, and Snow Wolf's huge figure finally collapsed with a bang.

He shot the giant wolf with one arrow, and after chasing the wolf, he turned around and said to his brother, "This wolf is the leader of the snow wolf, a green-level spirit beast called Feixue." He had encountered it many times in the depths of the snow field before, but Every time it escaped cunningly, unexpectedly it was eager to hunt today, but he caught it right away.

……

Xian Ling felt that the pressure on her body was loosened, and a large gust of fresh air penetrated her internal organs along her nose.She gasped heavily.

She turned her head stiffly for a long time, because her mind was still blank, and her sight was out of focus for a long time. She seemed to see a centaur holding a longbow under the moonlight on the top of the snow mountain, calmly shooting and killing the wolves.

The howling of wolves almost shook the entire snowy area, and there were figures running around everywhere. The strong smell of blood seemed to be frozen by the icy air just after rising.The fairy eyes slowly turned.

She saw the giant wolf that almost sent her to the western sky. At this moment, its corpse was lying beside it, half of which had sunk into the snow layer, and half of it was exposed in the air.

There were two arrows stuck in its head, one pierced into the head, and the other dangled tremblingly in the left eye; the blood mixed with the brain and the shards of the eyeball flowed everywhere, maybe they were too It was too hot, so it was steaming, and then it was quickly condensed into ice.

"vomit..." Xian Ling finally couldn't control his churning stomach and vomited it out.

　In the early stage, the heroine was sad, and then she was weak. She will gradually become stronger, so don't worry.

　　It is the first time for the author to write an article, there are many bad points, everyone can also point it out, and I will actively correct it.

　　Finally, please ask for a recommendation ticket, and if someone votes for me, the novel needs too much data in the early stage
