Chapter 289 Warm Snow Forest (Additional update, please vote for me)
No one has counted how many cold springs there are in the snowfield.
But there are definitely a lot of them. Tens of millions of years of ice have not completely cooled Longmian Continent. Countless power of the earth has been accumulated underground. In addition to shaping volcanoes and giant dragons, it has also continued to form in the form of cold springs and snow forests. External radiation.
“No matter how powerful the Snow Demon is, it can’t block the way out of life.” After Russell entered the cold spring point, he lit the gem lamp.
The strong light emitted by the gem quickly illuminated the dim cold spring point.
The cave walls and patio were reinforced with stones, and were obviously intended to be used as a stronghold for a long time, but they were later abandoned.
In the storage room dug out of the wall, there should have been a lot of food and emergency supplies. Now the food is gone, only some flour bags and boxes are left – the creatures in the snowfield will obviously visit the cold spring point.
As for the emergency supplies, they had probably been gnawed by rats and were almost in ruins.
“Fortunately, there is still a lot of firewood. You can make some hot water.” Russell took some snow and put it into the kettle he carried with him. Then he split the firewood and successfully lit a fire and started to boil water. “Let’s have burritos for dinner. , Paulie.”
“Okay.” Paulie is not very picky about food.
But when he actually ate the burrito, Russell found it hard to swallow: “I really don’t like eating this thing. Alas, I miss the delicious food in the Cigar Courtyard.”
Paulie ate her burrito quietly, ignoring Russell’s complaints.
one way or another.
After finishing the meal of burritos and taking a sip of the not-so-clean hot water, Russell sighed: “Do you know what I’m still missing?”
“What?” Paulie asked in her mind.
“Storage space.” Russell shook his head, “There are so many gems and metals, but none of them can be used as storage space… Do you know how inconvenient it is to go out without storage rings and storage bags!”
Paulie couldn’t understand.
Russell just sighed, then left the cold spring point and hit the road again, exploring the vast snowfield.
One cold spring point after another was found by him and Baoli.
At the same time, it has penetrated into the snowfield to a depth of nearly 100 kilometers and explored the surrounding terrain based on the cold spring point. The snowfield also has rolling mountains, plateaus and plains, but that’s all. More terrain is covered by ice caps.
“Hmm.”
Five days later, at a cold spring point in the farthest place, Russell looked at the results of his exploration recorded in his notebook.
“To the west of Wanren Mountain, there are mainly mountains, and the terrain is undulating… If this area is reclaimed in the future, it may not be suitable for agricultural cultivation.”
In the final analysis, Longmian Continent’s current productivity is still dominated by farming.
Even if Russell wants to develop industry with the help of the black oil dragon Rosey, he must at least ensure that agriculture can support himself and the knights.
Otherwise everything is just a castle in the air.
“I originally wanted to plant Luo Sai to the west of the Bend Blade Mountain and open up a warm enclave, so that it would be closer to the mouth of the Sancha River… Now it seems that I can’t open up a warm land to the west of the Bend Blade Mountain. Maybe I can go to the Youguang River. Downstream.”
The Youguang River enters Dikutun and eventually flows into an unknown place in a dark river.
If Russell could open up a direction south of the Youguang River Valley, he might be able to bring this underground river to light again and become a big river. With the rich water resources of the big river, his territory could become a fertile land.
“Let’s go.” Russell packed his luggage, “Go home first, take a shower and have a good sleep.”
During these five days, he slept in the cold spring point. The conditions were really difficult. Of course, the only advantage was that he could ride the little dream dragon and hunt the snow ghosts unscrupulously.
Unable to eat the Snow Demon’s Ice Soul Beads, Little Menglong went crazy and ate the Snow Demon’s Ice Soul Beads.
As a result, Russell couldn’t see many snow ghosts during the day, so he couldn’t harvest many ice beads to feed Russell.
Return to territory.
Just that day, when Russell was riding the unicorn Paulie and flying further south, he suddenly felt something different.
That is, there is a vague boundary line in the south of Youguang River Valley.
As a fantasy beast knight, Russell can clearly feel that once he crosses this boundary line, the influence of the Shadow Flame Dragon will be completely lost; once he returns to the boundary line, the influence of the Shadow Flame Dragon will appear again. .
“In other words, this boundary line is the true boundary of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy and the boundary of the Shadow Flame Dragon’s power.”
Within the boundary, Black Oil Dragon Rosey can be planted anywhere.
Outside the border, once the black oil dragon Rosei is planted, it is unpredictable whether it will hatch. And without the protection of the shadow flame dragon, it is likely to be noticed by the snow demon, which will lead to an unpredictable situation.
“You can’t plant it outside.” Russell shook his head. “Now, I can’t live without the protection of the Shadow Flame Dragon.”
Therefore.
The area south of the Youguang River Valley cannot be developed into a warm enclave.
“To the west of the Youguang River Valley is the mountainous area; to the south of the Youguang River Valley is the border; to the north of the Youguang River Valley is too close to the volcanic oasis… So now, only the area east of the Youguang River Valley is left.” Russell directly transferred. , went to the east.
To the north of Youguang River is the volcanic oasis, to the west is the mouth of the Sancha River, and to the east is the golden wilderness.
But because the distance from the Golden Fields is too far, no trade routes have ever been opened.
“If I build a warm enclave to the east of the Youguang River Valley, I can shorten the distance from the Golden Fields, and perhaps open up a trade route directly to the Golden Fields.” Russell thought as the wind and snow whistled in his ears.
If you really want to open up a warm enclave, you definitely can’t close to the Youguang River Valley, and you have to leave room for development in the Youguang River Valley.
Therefore, it is quite appropriate to place your warm enclave in the middle area between the Dark Light Valley and the Golden Fields.
The Golden Fields are the fiefdom of the Golden Baron Davis Goldenrod, Russell’s uncle and relative.
Everyone is here to help each other.
Just as I was thinking about it, a black skyline suddenly appeared in the wind and snow ahead. This kind of skyline basically meant that there was a snow forest.
“Come on, let’s go take a look, Paulie!”
“OK.”
With a fixed target, Baoli directly increased her speed and rushed into this huge snow forest in the blink of an eye.
“This snow forest is much bigger than the snow forest where you were hiding in the first place, and the snow forest where Saipan is located!” Russell looked at the endless snow forest and exclaimed, “On the family map, it can be seen This snow forest has not been marked.”
The tree species in the snow forest are relatively monotonous, mainly pine and fir, with occasionally some shrubs and moss mixed in in the middle of the snow forest.
“This snow forest is very warm.” Paulie said in her heart.
“Yes, I feel it too. As soon as I enter this snow forest, I can no longer feel the cold wind blowing outside.” Russell said happily, “Let’s explore this snow forest and camp here tonight.” There may be a harvest.”
In the snow forest of Saipan, the fairy Saipan lives.
Then this larger and warmer snow forest may also be home to fairies, who can take a stroll at night.
However, before Russell could turn around for a while, a strange murmur suddenly sounded in his ears: “Why is it not night yet? Why haven’t the rats come out yet? I’m already hungry… I really hope there are endless rats to eat every day.” ah!”
“Yeah!” Russell’s eyes shone.
