Xia Chujian had no other choice for the moment.
She checked her smart bracelet and saw that it was only a little after 1:00 PM, but it was already getting dark.
Because this place is close to the Far North, the daylight hours in winter are only six hours at most.
The further north you go, the shorter the daylight hours.
When we arrived at the core life restricted area in the far north, it was dark all year round and there was no sunlight.
The snow has stopped, and the night is like a veil falling from the sky, covering everything in the world.
The temperature dropped even more sharply.
Although Xia Chujian was wearing the ivory woolen hat knitted for her by her aunt and a particularly warm coat made of the same material, she still felt the cold spreading like a tide, layer by layer.
Let’s go back first.
I'll figure it out tomorrow.
Xia Chujian said sullenly, "Just come back."
Ye Shijie didn't say anything more and immediately ended the call.
Xia Chujian took out a storage bag that could preserve food, put the blood unicorn covered with mud into the bag, then turned around and walked back along the same path.
At this moment, in the gradually darkening night sky, a clear bird song came from the sky.
Xia Chujian looked up and saw that it was the griffin Saker Falcon flying back.
The long dark chain around its neck stands out particularly against its golden feathers.
But this griffin Saker Falcon was not ashamed of it, but proud of it.
When it raised its head and shouted in the air, it seemed to wish that all the birds in the forest of strange beasts could see the "necklace" on its neck.
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and he stopped.
Not long after, the griffin Saker Falcon landed beside her, lowered its furry lion head, and rubbed against Xia Chujian's hand as if to please her.
Xia Chujian: “…”
She also didn't expect that this griffin Saker Falcon, which looked so arrogant before, would become so obedient after being tamed.
She stroked the long golden hair on its head and jumped onto its back.
Then he extended his hand to the pig-headed humanoid Sanzhi and Xiaogouzi: "Both of you come up."
Sanzong looked up at her in surprise, his pair of black bean-like eyes, like the puppy's, were pure without a trace of impurities.
"Grandma! That's not necessary! Sanzong can follow me!" He waved his hands repeatedly, as if he totally didn't believe that any normal human would treat him so well.
But the puppy was very excited.
It called "Ulfu, Ulfu" and tried hard to jump onto the back of the griffin Saker Falcon.
But the griffin is too tall. Even when squatting on the ground, it is still two meters high. With the puppy's chubby little body, it would be good if he could jump one meter high.
Although Xia Chujian was feeling depressed, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips when she saw the puppy's "fighting again and again after repeated failures" look.
She said to the pig-headed humanoid Three Manes, "Carry the puppy up here. You can run, but the puppy can't. It's too small, and it's too cold here. We have to go back quickly."
San Zong was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He rubbed his calloused hands together awkwardly. He looked at Xia Chujian, then at Xiao Gouzi, who was still eager to try but kept jumping and failing. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, San Zong is for Xiao Gouzi!"
He picked up the puppy, and then with a light leap, he jumped onto the broad back of the griffin Saker Falcon.
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows.
She didn't expect that this pig-headed humanoid who looked a little clumsy and was said to only know how to farm was actually quite skilled.
Sanzong didn't know what Xia Chujian was thinking. He just huddled near the tail of the griffin Saker Falcon, holding the puppy in one hand and quietly grabbing a feather of the griffin Saker Falcon with the other hand, and sat down steadily.
Xia Chujian pulled the chain around the griffin's neck and said calmly, "A Diao, let's go."
The griffin Saker Falcon let out a joyful cry, spread its broad wings, shook them violently, and raised its head to soar into the dark night sky.
When we reached the sky, the wind was even stronger, whistling past our ears.
Xia Chujian wore a self-heating mask, goggles, and a woolen hat, but it was not as windproof as a tightly fitting helmet.
The penetrating cold wind was like a needle, drilling into the gap between her mask and woolen hat.
As soon as it touched her skin, the extremely low temperature that could freeze a person to death instantly caused great damage to Xia Chujian.
She took a breath, quickly lay down, and buried her entire face in the fur on the griffin's neck.
Fortunately, the coldness dissipated immediately and her whole body became warm again.
The griffin seemed to know that she was cold, so it spread its wings and flew even faster.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief and tilted his head to look at the night sky.
It feels like swimming in a lake full of diamonds. The twinkling stars are the diamonds in the lake, pure, white and shiny.
With the griffin and Saker Falcon, the journey that used to take half an hour to walk by myself now only takes a few minutes.
