Chapter 77
Although everything withers in winter, there are some rare and exotic plants that bloom or bear fruit in winter.
As they walked along the way, they picked a lot of snow-white oval fruits. Yu Sui didn't notice them at first and thought they were just snow on the branches. After Xu picked them for him, Yu Sui realized that they were edible fruits.
The thin-skinned, large, juicy and sweet fruit is very thirst-quenching. They quench their thirst along the way by simply eating some snow. The water in the bamboo tube will soon freeze into ice.
This fruit is very strange and will not freeze, which is just right for quenching thirst on the road. So Xu had a pile of snow-white fruits wrapped in animal skins on his back.
Yu Sui jumped off and stretched his waist. Riding the Snow Wolf was just like riding a car. Even though he didn't have to move for a long time, he still felt very tired. There was a lot of space on Qi's back, but when he moved around, he didn't feel as comfortable as having his feet on solid ground.
Seeing him land steadily, Qi also changed into human form, and at the same time stretched out his hand to catch the fallen luggage and other items. The huge package fell steadily into his hand, and Qi put the luggage on the ground.
After putting on his animal skin coat, he grabbed the bulge on the tree trunk with his strong hands, exerted force alternately with both hands, kicked the tree a few times with his legs, and then quickly rushed to the branch and threw fruits down from the top of the tree.
The snow was so thick that the fruit wouldn't break even if thrown down without anyone having to catch it.
He glanced provocatively at Xu on the other tree, and Qi's slender hands almost left an afterimage as he picked the fruits down.
Of course Xu was unwilling to admit defeat, so he pushed his feet and climbed to the highest point where there were more fruits.
The fruit trees here are also tall. Yu Sui only saw the two people looking at each other and picking fruits together. He couldn't see their expressions, and he was quite relieved that the two people finally stopped being angry.
Yu Sui strolled slowly around, where he could still see the air flow coming out of the giant python's breathing, but from a distance the giant python's head looked more like the top of a mountain.
The low-level magical beasts around here have been frightened by the breath of the snow werewolf and are fleeing in all directions. As long as Yu Sui doesn't walk too far, he will be safe.
Let's give the two protagonists some private space. Yu Sui feels that he is the best villain and worries too much.
The trees here are tall, and the thick snow underneath is difficult to get sunlight. Coupled with the cold temperature, it is difficult to melt and is much thicker than the snow in other places.
He was walking in human form. If he turned into a snow wolf, he would probably fall into the snow and be buried.
Even so, a large part of his legs were submerged in the snow. Fortunately, he had thick skin now, but the simple animal skin boots were not very convenient. He would make a few pairs of comfortable boots when he had time.
He still remembers the cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles that his grandmother often made for him when he was a child. The picture of making the thousand-layer soles is particularly clear. He loved wearing them as a child. The shoes that his grandmother tailored for him were particularly comfortable and could not be bought with money.
Orcs generally wear soft animal skin boots like this, which are fixed with ropes at the legs. The soles of the shoes are also very thin, but they are not afraid of getting hurt because of their thick skin.
Yu Sui actually liked the boots of the Black Wolf Clan. Putting aside the flashy decorations, those boots looked very sturdy and durable, and very beautiful...
If the black werewolves weren't so annoying, Yu Sui really wanted to ask where their boots were made.
But at least they have boots to wear in winter. In other seasons, apart from straw sandals, many orcs who are afraid of trouble just go barefoot, which makes Yu Sui hard to accept.
While thinking absentmindedly about the boots, Yu Sui walked into the woods.
Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation under his feet. The thin soles of his animal-hide boots made him clearly feel the softness and smoothness of the long object beneath his feet...
He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly jumped out of the snow and almost screamed, but fortunately he stopped in time.
After turning into a snow wolf, he learned the skill of climbing trees without any instruction. He was so frightened that he climbed to the top of the tree in a few steps and looked down with lingering fear.
I saw a corner of a red and black strip of object exposed in the snow pit he had stepped on, coiled together in circles, and estimated to be at least one meter long.
The hairs on the back of Yu Sui's neck stood up. He actually stepped on a snake in the middle of winter. What kind of luck was this? Normally, shouldn't snakes hibernate in caves during this season?
It couldn't be that this snake was meant to scare him. Yu Sui's back was indeed covered in cold sweat, and he felt the coldness for the first time in a long time in the freezing wind.
Yu Sui was so frightened that he couldn't recover and didn't dare to go down, for fear of stepping on another snake.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind beside his ears. Yu Sui just turned his head and saw Qi and Xu running towards him quickly. Qi took the lead and pulled him into his arms, scanning the surroundings with murderous eyes.
"Don't, don't, don't land! There's a snake!"
Yu Sui felt that Qi was going to take him to the ground and shouted hurriedly.
"snake?"
Qi repeated doubtfully that he had just looked around and didn't see any living creatures, and the reason he felt at ease letting Yu Sui walk around was because he sensed that there were no magical beasts nearby. But who knew that he would hear the suppressed cry of the cub soon after.
Yu Sui hadn't walked too far, so he and Xu came back quickly. However, they didn't find any danger. They only saw the cub, pale with fear, hanging helplessly on the tree.
Even Qi was a little surprised to hear him say there were snakes. Snake-shaped monsters are the hardest to see in winter. They usually burrow deep underground in advance and will not come out until the beginning of spring next year.
Yu Sui pointed to the snake he had just stepped on. The snake was coiled there motionless, and no one knew whether it was killed by him or not.
A snake about one meter long is just a small snake here. Being frightened by such a snake and alarming two people, Yu Sui felt very ashamed after realizing it belatedly. He was too embarrassed to even look at their expressions.
Looking in the direction of his finger, Xu burst into laughter without mercy.
"Haha, Xiaoyu, you're actually afraid of such a tiny snake!"
Xu laughed loudly as he reached out and picked up the snake in his hand, deliberately shaking it in front of Yu Sui.
Qi frowned and stared at him unkindly, his expression changed when he glanced at the snake.
"This isn't an ordinary monster. This is the cub of a red viper orc."
Xu brought the snake in front of him and said suspiciously, "It is indeed a young red viper, and it is in a dormant state. It must be too cold here. However, the snake tribe is always cautious in winter. How could they let this young one get here so easily?"
"The cubs are very naughty. They probably ran here on their own. There are no scars on their bodies. The snake tribe's various abilities are greatly reduced in winter. This one is buried in the snow, and it will be difficult to find its fellow tribesmen."
Qi looked at Yu Sui in his arms thoughtfully.
It was just that he was chased by a wild boar once, so Yu Sui avoided the other party's gaze guiltily.
However, after knowing that the snake was an orc, Yu Sui's fear dissipated a lot, and he even had the mood to watch the little snake.
I just took a quick look at it, and now it doesn't seem that scary. It's a small black snake with only its belly being red.
