I'm actually an alchemist

Chapter 194 Ice and Snow Forest
Although no trace of the barbarians was found, everyone knew that the barbarians would definitely not let them go after suffering such a big loss.

Moreover, if Gongsun He's deduction is accurate and the Zhou army has won a decisive victory in the south, then the barbarians will desperately destroy this remnant army in their hinterland.

This army of only four remained, like a fishbone, stuck in the barbarian's throat, making them very uncomfortable.

After Yang Qing's treatment, Su Jian had recovered by the next morning.

The only regret is that his wound is located in the dantian.

The opponent's arrow destroyed his dantian.

Su Jian's practice for many years has been reduced to nothing.

Yang Qing has a way to restore it, but he has no suitable materials.

However, for Su Jian, he was very lucky to be able to save his life.

……

The next day, the four mounted their horses again and galloped north.

The sky is high, the land is wide, and the Gobi is thousands of miles away.

The four of them walked across the beautiful wilderness.

Ten days later, the sky began to snow heavily
Walking is more difficult.

However, the snow also covered their tracks.

The barbarian cavalry who were chasing after them also lost their tracks.

Heavy snow fell.

The wind howled, and the eyes were completely white.

The snowflakes hit her face, and it was burning and painful.

"The Snow Forest is here!"

Gongsun He shouted, pointing to the dark forest in front of him.

……

The snow forest seems to be another world.

The wind and snow outside made it difficult to breathe.

But in the forest, it is as quiet as a vacuum world.

The sky was gray.

The snow fell quietly.

The pitch-black tree, I can't tell what kind it is.

On the ground, the knee-high snow made the marching speed of Yang Qing and others suddenly slow down.

In the end, everyone could only lead the horse forward.

"What kind of tree is this?"

Yang Qing curiously pointed to the pitch-black tree beside him and asked.

The whole body is black and shiny, and the cracks on the trunk are covered like scales.

Hitting it with a dagger made a sound like gold and iron.

"Black pine!"

Gongsun He glanced at it and said: "The only tree species in the Ice and Snow Forest! Don't look at this tree, it has survived for at least a thousand years!"

"The black pine will grow black fruits, which are the resources for the residents of this forest to survive!" Su Jian reached out and picked off a black pine cone, and threw it to Yang Qing.

After Yang Qing took it, he picked up a pine nut.

Put it in your mouth and bite.

Hold the grass, it's so hard.

I almost snapped my teeth out.

"How do you eat this thing? Could it be fried?"

Yang Qing asked curiously.

"Wrapped in snow, it will be soft after a while!"

Su Jian said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yang Qing grabbed a handful of snow and wrapped the pine cone.

Others also started collecting pine cones.

Along the way they headed north desperately, not having much time to find food.

After more than ten days, there was not much food left for them to hunt.

If this continues, it is estimated that they will run out of food tomorrow.

Things like black pine cones have extremely high calories and sufficient energy, which is very suitable for replenishing physical strength.

As they walked, they collected pine cones.

However, at this moment.

Deep in the woods, there was a sudden howl of a beast.

Frightened, the war horse spread its hooves and fled in all directions.

They caught it for a long time, but they didn't catch it back.

"It's over!"

Gongsun He said helplessly: "Next, we have to go!"

As soon as the voice changed, he said with a smile: "However, there is also good news, we can have extra meals in the evening!"

……

The night in the ice and snow forest came very fast.

As we walked, we realized that it was already dark.

Coupled with the reflection of light from the ice and snow in the forest, this will give people an illusion that the sky is still bright.

If people come out of this place, without being familiar with the characteristics of the forest, they will keep walking until they are exhausted, pass out, and finally freeze to death here.

At nightfall, bonfires are lit.

The four gathered around the bonfire, showing happy smiles.

Today, not only did they come to the Ice and Snow Forest, they also relied on the cover of heavy snow to temporarily get rid of the barbarian cavalry.Moreover, they also harvested a sumptuous dinner.

This is not the first time Yang Qing has eaten a bear's paw.

However, this time is the best time he has eaten.

The crispy bear meat tastes like oily mouth.

The taste of rosin makes the bear meat more delicious.

The four hugged a bear's paw, surrounded the campfire, and ate happily.

After eating, another cup of coffee.

This day, if it is not on the way to escape, it would not be so beautiful.

"However, be careful!"

Gongsun He fell in love with drinking coffee these days.

The mellow smell made him very intoxicated.

Holding a pure gold cup, he took a sip and reminded: "This forest is regarded as a land abandoned by the gods by all countries in the mainland, where countless dangerous heresies are hidden. They live here all year round. They are experts here. They Very good at hiding and raiding."

"The savage with black magic is the king here!!"

Gongsun He pouted, savoring the taste of coffee and said, "However, there are not many of them. By the way, give me another cup!"

Yang Qing brewed another cup for him.

Gongsun He blew, took a sip, and looked satisfied.

"In addition to the savages, there are also some wild beasts with mutated bodies! For example, black wolves that specialize in eating dead people!" Gongsun He said: "Although a single black wolf is limited in strength and is not to be feared, they are huge in number. Black wolves Attack in groups, unless the cultivation reaches the holy level, the only thing other people can do is turn around and run!"

Only Yang Qing came here for the first time, so Yang Qing kept everything Gongsun He said in mind.

Holy master.

Yang Qing raised her eyebrows.

The fighting spirit practice in this world is divided into five levels.

Fighter, Doushi, Douzong, Douwang, Dousheng.

Dou Sheng, a master who is unique in a million.According to what Lin Dong said before, the number of fighting saints in the entire continent is very small.As the strongest country of the human race, Great Zhou had only two Dou Sheng in its country.

How terrifying!

have eaten.

After Gongsun He arranged for the night watchmen to take turns, the rest of the people got into the dug snow cave and began to sleep and rest.

It was still cold in the snow cave.

But compared to the outside world, at least within an acceptable range.

The snow cave made of ice and jade made Yang Qing think of the Inuit people on earth.

It is said that the Inuit people do not live in snow houses anymore.

Yang Qing was thinking in a mess.

Before I knew it, a sense of fatigue hit me.

He went to sleep.

……

Midnight.

Yang Qing was woken up.

Opening his eyes, he found that Gongsun He had a serious expression on his face.

Just as he was about to ask, Gongsun He covered his mouth.

"We won the lottery!"

Gongsun He pointed outside and said in a low voice, "The savages are here!"

When Yang Qing heard this, he lost all sleepiness.

After they followed Gongsun He out of the igloo, they found that both Agui and Su Jian were ready to go.

The most perfect strategy, of course, is to retreat.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Gongsun He would not choose to fight the savages.
