Chapter 94: Four Seasons Murder Valley
Looking at the momentum of the avalanche, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind. If Jian Ma Dao can have such momentum as the avalanche, who else in the world can win in one battle?
"Even the Warrior's 'Eight Strikes of the Cutting Tree' or whatever beast-fighting techniques, even the Qian family's 'Qian Kun' dual fighting technique, were all gained from insight into nature. I wonder if I can learn something from this avalanche?"
Muttering to himself in a low, dry voice, his eyes narrowed into a thin line, quietly staring at the road that collapsed far away, like a massive avalanche that seemed to collapse the sky, trying hard to understand something from it, but finally found nothing, only this devastating scene was deeply imprinted on his mind.
Three people, facing the snow avalanche that exploded like a violent thunderclap, were silent and speechless. Whoever experiences a life-and-death run of snow avalanche will have a period of time when their brain is not enough to use. If you watch two snow avalanches in a row, it's normal for your mind to be confused.
The second avalanche lasted even longer than the first, and a lot of accumulated snow was blown directly into the valley with the strong gusts of wind generated by the avalanche. The icy wind and snow gradually woke up the three people's minds.
This is where? Four Seasons Valley! The book records that there are fierce demons and beasts, and even the demon-slaying warriors will not easily set foot in this environment.
Dry and stiff, he turned his head to search around, finding that except for the loud rumbling sound of the avalanche and the flying snow, there was nothing else alive in this area.
"Perhaps the avalanche was too massive? It scared away all the magical beasts and wild animals that originally lived nearby?" Gan Jing used his saber to prop himself up, quickly observing his surroundings.
In the endless world, that experience of entering the mountain range to find iron ore made Qian Jin develop a habit of finding suitable positions for defense, attack and hiding in any unfamiliar environment.
Rock cave? Gan Jing looked at the foot of the mountain wall not far away, and there was a hole that could barely squeeze in one person. It was a very hidden entrance, and it was difficult to find the existence of the entrance without careful search. Perhaps before, it may have been blocked by snow, and with the shock of the avalanche, the entrance appeared.
Even so, if you don't have rich outdoor survival experience, it's still not easy to find its existence.
Qianjin used his saber as a crutch and struggled to take two steps forward, secretly rejoicing in his heart that the previous avalanche was already extremely weak, otherwise, even with his ninth-level Dou Qi protecting his body, it wouldn't be difficult for his bones to be crushed into pieces.
"My bones are fine, but what about my hat..." Qian Jin hastily reached out to touch the magic hat tightly tied to his back, and found that it was still there, seemingly without a single scratch or damage. Only then did the worry in his heart finally come to a complete stop.
Bì luò followed closely behind Qián jìn, with Shuǐ lián yīng ér looking on in confusion. In this mountain valley where ferocious beasts could burst out at any moment, the two of them had subconsciously come to regard Qián jìn as a temporary source of reliance after witnessing his consecutive battles and displays of prowess.
Qian Jin walked up to a spot not far from the cave, readjusted his internal energy, gripped the Zhan Ma Dao tightly with both hands and cautiously approached the cave.
In the valley of four seasons, no one dares to guarantee that this cave is safe and there are no ferocious beasts or demons inside.
"A cave?" Shui Lianying looked at Gan Jing's discovery with some disbelief, as in the last time Xiao Chang led the team, everyone risked their lives to enter this valley and after a careful search, they didn't find any cave here.
Cautiously getting closer and closer, even if there is no sense of danger in the cave, still approaching with caution, afraid to encounter any wild beasts or ferocious beasts that can hide their breath and launch a sudden attack.
"Which of you has a fire rod?" Gan Jing turned his head to look at the two women, Shui Lian and Ying Er. Shui Lian carefully pulled out a wooden stick from her bosom, twisted open the top end, blew gently twice, and a small flame emerged from the front end of the stick.
"Weeds, dry weeds find some."
Qian Jin stared at the cave, carefully giving orders. Shui Lian Rong Er immediately understood his idea and lit dry weeds to throw into the cave to use smoke to see if there were really no living things inside.
Although the valley of four seasons was covered with white snow in many places, it wasn't difficult to find some dry grass. Water lotus daughter relied on her adventurer's outdoor survival skills and quickly found some dry grass and firewood, which Qianjin ignited and threw into the cave.
Flames crackled and popped within the mountain cave, thick smoke billowing out from time to time, with even more pouring in.
Qianjin waited for about half an hour after the fire went out, and the thick smoke had basically dispersed from the cave entrance. He then carefully squeezed into the mountain cave and found that the space inside was much more spacious than the narrow entrance. Even if a horse carriage were placed inside, there would still be enough room for two people to walk side by side.
The cave extended into the interior of the mountain wall, and Qianjin held up a torch, advancing by the faint light for over ten meters before discovering that he had reached the end. This seemed like a decent place to stay, with a relatively dry floor and no signs of wild animal droppings or hair.
"Come on in, it's relatively safe inside."
The two people outside the door heard Qianjin's words and carefully squeezed into the cave, and were also startled by the spaciousness of the cave.
"You stay here first, I'll go take a look."
With a stern expression, he held up his saber and squeezed out of the cave again. Looking at the avalanche that had not yet stopped, he shook his head slightly: "Looking at this situation, even if the avalanche stops, it's probably not easy to leave unless the snow melts. Otherwise..."
He stopped looking at the avalanche and took stock of the situation around the valley. The vast expanse of snow revealed dry grass and tree branches in many places, while a short distance away was a lush green forest of pine trees, with large amounts of accumulated snow weighing down on their tops, adding to the winter atmosphere.
He shrank his neck and shrugged his shoulders, outside the four seasons mountain valley only need to wear a single shirt and pants, never thought of entering the mountain valley, and was temporarily trapped in the mountain valley by an avalanche. After staying here for a while, he suddenly felt a chill in his body.
"If I had known, it would have been better to bring a few fur coats in." Qianjin inserted the horse-slaying knife into the ground beside him, rubbing his hands back and forth and stomping his feet to warm himself up, while observing his surroundings hoping to find some cotton-padded clothes, but all he saw around him were trees and snow.
"Whatever!"
Qianjin bit his teeth, stomped his feet a few times, and quickly gathered the dry grass in the snowy field with his saber. He then crouched down and cautiously approached a small forest about 300-500 meters away, cut down a small pine tree with his saber, and trimmed the trunk to about one person's height. Carrying the wood and carrying the dry grass, he ran back to the cave.
"It's unlikely that anyone will leave today." Qianjin said, using his saber as an axe to chop the pine wood into pieces. "We'll probably have to spend at least one night here. To avoid freezing to death, go gather some dry branches, but be careful not to get close to the small forest or you might put yourselves in danger."
Shui Lian Ying Er stared blankly at Qian Jin's actions, and for a moment, she couldn't guess what he was going to do. Was he going to light a fire in the cave to warm up? In that case, it was likely that they would suffocate before getting warm.
Biluo's hands and feet were all used, a bit clumsy, to flip over the stone cave entrance. Although magicians also run for exercise, they don't do it as much, and the mountain cave entrance was not easy to enter, making their movements even more distorted.
In the snow-covered valley of the four seasons, Bì Luò was wearing a large magical robe and carrying a small bundle of firewood towards the direction of the mountain cave.
Qianjin used a small amount of firewood to melt part of the accumulated snow, and then used a horse knife to slowly turn the frozen soil into wet mud. He transported all the wet mud back to the cave and quickly made a path for burning fire using the mud. Then he mixed the mud with wood chips and weeds to make a simple chimney that was not too crude, connecting it to the stove and extending it all the way to the outside of the cave entrance.
Suilian Ying'er stared blankly at Qianjin, this wasn't magical, but an unexpected method. Suddenly, she felt a bit flushed and hot, as a female swordsman with three years of adventure experience, in this situation, was actually inferior to a first-year warrior student? How did he come up with this? Many adventurers probably wouldn't think of this method.
Place a handful of kindling and light it, then add small twigs, followed by slightly larger sticks.
"Shui Lian Ying'er watched as Qian Jin performed a series of swift movements, and asked in a low voice: 'You, how do you know these?'"
He picked up a handful of snow that he had brought into the cave earlier, washed his hands, and said with a smile: "Read more books, you'll know everything."
"Have you read too many books?" Shui Lian Ying Er looked at Qian Jin with even more incomprehension, was this kind of thing recorded in a book?
Qianjin was making a mud cover to put on the fire mouth, feeling the warm air coming out of the furnace, and his worries about freezing to death were swept away. In his heart, he secretly rejoiced that when he was still a young master of the Qian family, in order to earn some pocket money, he had spent boring days at the outer gate book pavilion of the Qian family, where he had read a notebook left behind by an adventurer, which had a similar method written on it.
In the cave, after a period of busyness, it fell into silence again, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood left. Suddenly, a gurgling sound entered the ears of the three people in the cave.
Qian Jin stroked his belly and revealed a hint of bitter smile. A few days ago, in the Luoshan Mountains, they had hunted and roasted rabbit meat. Some of it had already been eaten, and the remaining portion was packed in that abandoned large package. If only he hadn't thrown away the package...
Now that physical strength is not enough, the fighting spirit has not fully recovered. Venturing out to hunt in the Four Seasons Valley with magical beasts and ferocious wild animals is almost no different from sending oneself to death.
