Go to ancient tribes to farm and build infrastructure

"It's weird!"

"What's weird?"

"Tina Ya'am, the ice crystal valley gets colder as it gets deeper into the valley, or is it colder near the place where the ice crystal grass grows?" Chang Xia asked softly.

"Ice crystal grass grows scattered, they don't grow together. Usually, the temperature in the area where ice crystal grass grows is lower than other places in the valley. The specific reason is also not very clear to us." Tina Ya answered while thinking about the long term. The reason for Xia's inquiry, the situation of the Ice Crystal Valley, has been checked countless times by the Bird Clan.

pity.

so far.

Bird Clan couldn't figure out why.

According to the animal skin ancient scrolls and white paper ancient books passed down by the various tribes of the Niaozu, the ice crystal grass was once a treasure given to the Niaozu by the Snow Mountain Temple.

However, most of the ancient animal skin scrolls related to the ice crystal grass were destroyed.

The bird family that specializes in taking care of the ice crystal grass died thousands of years ago.The Bird Clan is stingy in exchanging the Ice Crystal Grass, because the Bird Clan doesn't know how to plant the Ice Crystal Grass. The Ice Crystal Grass is consumed year after year, and will eventually wither and die one day.

Once that day comes.

The Bird Clan will lose the Ice Crystal Grass, and the Ice Crystal Valley will exist in name only.

"Tina Ya'am, where does the ice crystal grass grow closest to us?" Chang Xia asked curiously.Stepping into the valley of ice crystals, the cold wind is icy cold and biting.Overnight, the rainy season returned to the cold season again.

"Here—" Tina Ya pointed to the front left, and explained: "We have paved a creek path in every area where the ice crystal grass grows. There used to be hundreds of such creek paths in the Ice Crystal Valley. , Gradually, only 33 remain.”

One said.

The expressions of the three of Tina Ya were full of sadness.

Ice crystal grass grows close to the ground, short and small.

It's grass, and it's not grass.

To be precise, the ice crystal grass is more like a low shrub. Each ice crystal grass is about one meter high and grows in an umbrella.

Walk along the creek and stone trail for a kilometer.

In sight, a light blue low shrub came into view.

Different from the purple and black of the light tree, the low shrub in front of me looks like an open light blue umbrella, with sparse fruits hanging on the tight branches.The fruit is about the size of two fingers, green and green.

"Tina Ya'am, is the ice crystal grass a tree?"

Chang Xia has eaten Bingguo, even though the Bingguo is not ripe yet, she can still recognize the two finger-sized fruits as Bingguo.

Obvious.

This low shrub is naturally the legendary ice crystal grass.

Close to the ice crystal grass, the temperature dropped again, Chang Xia shrank his neck, staring at the ice crystal grass.

"Ice Crystal Grass is Ice Crystal Grass." Tina Ya explained.

Trees, whether it is the Qinghai Plateau, or the evening forest.The trees are tens of meters high, or more than a hundred meters high.An ice crystal grass that is about one meter long cannot be called an ice crystal tree.What's more, according to the memory passed down from generation to generation by the Bird Clan, the Ice Crystal Grass is called the Ice Crystal Grass, not the Ice Crystal Tree.

As for the reason, Tinaya couldn't tell.

One listen.

Chang Xia understands, just like ginkgo trees are called ginkgo trees.

"Tina Yaam, can I get close to the ice crystal grass? I want to check the soil around the ice crystal grass. It's best to use a branch or something to pull it."

Tina Ya nodded in confusion.

The two Phyllis beside them were even more confused.

"Chang Xia, you step back. I will fight with Felice, and you just tell me what to do." Shen Rong stopped Chang Xia and prevented her from approaching the ice crystal grass.

Chang Xia was not in a hurry to touch the ice crystal grass.

After all, the doubts in my heart have not been confirmed.

She was not in a hurry to activate the bloodline ability, and it would not be too late to wait for Shen Rong to remove the soil and confirm the condition of the ice crystal grass.

After a while.

"A Rong, have you gained anything?" Chang Xia asked.

She and Tina Ya stood ten meters away from the Ice Crystal Grass, watching Shen Rong and the other three pawing the soil near the Ice Crystal Grass.

It was cold in the ice crystal valley, but the soil was not frozen solid.

However, it is firmer than the outside if it is not frozen.

Pulling it up is not easy.

"It shouldn't be Han Shi—" Shen Rong said.He held a handful of soil and walked towards Chang Xia. Chang Xia reached out and grabbed the soil, twisting it, feeling the coolness in the soil.

Chang Xia nodded and said, "This chill is very similar to Weishan Holy Land."

"Yes, that's what I mean too." Shen Rong pressed close to the ground, and the moment his hands touched the soil, he felt a chill belonging to the Qingming Stone.He has been to the Weishan Holy Land many times, and he is very familiar with the chill released by the Qingming Stone.

Under this ice crystal valley.

It is very likely that there is a huge Qingming stone mine.

The ice crystal grass grows attached to the Qingming Stone Mine, so of course it cannot only be related to the Qingming Stone.Because Tina Ya said that there used to be hundreds of creek trails in the Ice Crystal Valley, but now there are only 33, and the Ice Crystal Grass is withering and dying.

but--

Ice Crystal Valley has not changed in any way.

This means that the withering and death of the ice crystal grass has nothing to do with the ice crystal valley, but other reasons lead to the death of the ice crystal grass.

Maybe it's the age of growth.

The bird tribe can't breed new ice crystal grass, and when all the ice crystal grass in the ice crystal valley withers and dies, the ice crystal grass will naturally disappear.

Shen Rong concluded that the wizard Nanhe was waiting outside the ice crystal valley.

She wanted to come in, and wanted Chang Xia to solve the problem of ice crystal grass breeding.

But at the same time, it is clear that it is not realistic to bet on Chang Xia for the things that the Bird Clan has not solved for hundreds of years.So Wizard Nanhe chose to wait, hoping that Chang Xia could bring good news to her and the Niaozu.

"Chang Xia, tell me carefully?" Tina Ya asked nervously.

Phyllis Das stood beside holding a handful of soil stupidly.

It's about ice crystal grass, so they can't be nervous or worried.

"Shen Rong and I stepped into the Ice Crystal Valley, and felt the chill in the Ice Crystal Valley very familiar. We suspected that it was related to the cold stone and the Qingming stone, and guessed that there was a huge cold stone mine or Qingming stone mine under the ice crystal valley. It's just that we can't confirm without personal contact."

"Just now, Shen Rong scraped some dirt near the ice crystal grass."

"After identification, we can be sure that there should be a huge Qingming stone mine under the ice crystal valley. This chill is the same as the beast totem in the Weishan Holy Land. The beast totem in the Weishan Holy Land is carved from a whole piece of Qingming stone. Can't get close."

However, it is different in Ice Crystal Valley.

Could it be that the soil can insulate the orcs from the cold of the Qingming Stone?
However, that may be the only way to say it.

After all, the Ice Crystal Valley, like other peaks in Feiyajian, is covered with vegetation.However, because of the ice crystal grass, the orcs of the Feihe tribe would remove some of the plants in the valley to prevent them from competing with the ice crystal grass for sunlight and nutrients in the soil.

"Qingming Stone Mine——"

The three of Tinaya murmured, they didn't know much about Qingmingshi.

"Chang Xia, what is the relationship between Qingming Stone Mine and Ice Crystal Grass?"

"I suspect that the growth of the ice crystal grass needs the cold air released by the Qingming stone as nutrients, and the inability of the ice crystal grass to reproduce may also be related to the cold air of the Qingming stone.

The more Chang Xia explained, the more confused Tina Ya and the other three became.
