Beast Throne

Chapter 497 The Awakened Ice Silkworm

After Wu Tong came back, Wulantu and the others looked very unhappy, as if they were dying.Of course, if they don't leave here and resist tenaciously, they are indeed dying.

Except for Wu Tong, everyone else was very busy.Gai Lou had already gone back to inform the Blue-Eyed King himself. Although he didn't know whether the barbarians migrated as a whole, the number of them would certainly not be small. Now this number of people couldn't stop them.

Dolo asked the icebreaker tortoises to move backwards in advance. Even if the barbarians dragged their families along, they would move faster than the icebreaker turtles. If they could go south, they would try to go as far south as possible, so as not to be in a hurry.

Ulantu has been standing at the forefront, looking forward to the scouting cavalry he sent out to confirm the final news.

Wu Tong asked Ulantu how much land they would occupy if the barbarians really migrated.If it's not too much, it's better to let them pull it first.Anyway, I don't know where the space cracks will appear when the orcs invade. If they just happen to fight in those places occupied by the barbarians, Ulantu can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

In this regard, Ulantu explained that giving up the grassland is not the problem, because the fact that the barbarians will migrate is difficult to explain.Disasters on the grasslands are usually caused by the freezing of the grass to death.And the barbarians originally lived in the coldest place on the grassland, so why did they migrate?
Therefore, no matter what, we must stop it first, because it is impossible to determine where the barbarians will go.

Wu Tong's speed advantage was soon manifested. After about half a day, the scouts sent by Wulantu finally returned.These elite cowardly knights were almost frozen on their horses one by one, and those high-quality horses were even worse. After returning, they collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and it was basically impossible to stand up again.

But the news brought back by the cowards was more accurate than that of Wu Tong. As soon as Wu Tong saw countless barbarians, he ran back directly, and the cowards even fought with the barbarians a little, and found that the barbarians were not as usual Only after catching up did they finally confirm that they were indeed migrating, rather than going out to grab supplies.

Once the bad news that was not sure was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because no matter how bad it was, it couldn't be worse than it is now.

After ascertaining the truth, Ulantu decisively issued an order to retreat, and asked the hussars who built the building to tell the nearby tribes the news, asking them to move south for a certain distance to avoid the barbarians.

"We should be glad that we came here and discovered this matter, otherwise it would be really dangerous. If we are completely unprepared, the tribes responsible for supplying us with food and grass will suffer disaster."

On the way back, Ulantu's expression remained heavy.The overall migration of the barbarians, just like the high-level monsters in the Southern Cross Forest all dispatched to invade the Tianyang Empire, is not a problem that can be solved in a short time.But now the White Ice Empire does not have enough energy to deal with the barbarians. As the prince, Ulantu is naturally under a lot of pressure.

"Brother Suzaku, why do you think the barbarians migrated? You are an outsider, so maybe you can come up with a different answer than us."

"Ah? Me? What?" Wu Tong pointed to his nose and asked. He had been distracted just now and couldn't hear clearly.

Wu Lantu said it again, Wu Tong thought about it, and felt that he couldn't give any answer.Wu Tong is a person who likes to read history. There have been many family migrations in the history of the earth. There are usually only three reasons. One is overpopulation and lack of resources. Avoid the scourge of war or avoid being exterminated.

The first of them is proactive, not so much migration, but more precisely called expansion.The second and third are passive, if you don’t migrate, you will die.

Wu Tong didn't know much about the grassland, and of course he couldn't determine the real reason for the barbarian invasion, but he still told Ulantu the three reasons he summed up.

Wu Lantu felt that what Wu Tong said was correct, so he asked everyone to analyze it together.It's already night, the weather is very cold, and the others can persist, but Duoyan is half asleep and half awake, swaying from side to side on the horse, watching Wu Tong several times, he couldn't hold back and wanted to reach out to help, but She was able to miraculously never let herself fall.

A group of people discussed and discussed, but they still couldn't find any good solution.On the contrary, Duo Luo's six-tailed snow fox had a strong interest in Wu Tong, a newcomer. After a short wait and see, he jumped from Duo Luo's shoulder to Wu Tong's mount.

The six-tailed snow fox is very beautiful, small and exquisite, but has six beautiful big tails.Its fur is as white as snow, but the tips of its ears, eyes and four little paws are black.The little guy stood on the horse's head and stared at Wu Tong stupidly, not knowing what he was looking at, which made Wu Tong really want to draw two circles around its eyes.

In fact, Wu Tong has been mistaken about one thing. He thought that these ice-type monsters like the cold environment, but in fact, the snow fox likes a little warmer nearby, so it has been pretending to be a scarf around the necks of Duo Luo and Duo Yan. Keep each other warm.

And Wu Tong felt very cold at night, so he involuntarily increased the heat a little, so Xuehu was attracted.As for why Xuehu is not afraid of Wu Tong, just count the number of tails behind his buttocks.

After discussing for a while, they still did not come to a conclusion. Wulantu and his party were a little downcast.Wu Tong was carelessly using his fingertips to make Xiaoxuehu happy. He found that as long as he summoned a small fireball on his fingertips, the six-tailed snowfox would blow it out. No matter how many times he repeated it, he would not get bored. It's kind of addicting.

"Hey, isn't the little guy cute? I don't know if you still have one here. I'll take one home." Wu Tong likes this little snowfox very much, and intends to keep one as a pet.

"You guys hit it off very well." Dolo said a pun very bluntly, "This snow fox is rare, even if you find it and take it back, you won't be able to raise it. They are very picky eaters, and they only eat under the ice cap." a small fish."

"Really? Forget it. What about the ice turtle? Is there a smaller one?" Wu Tong thought it would be nice to bring an ice turtle back, maybe it could be used as a refrigerator.

"Don't make up your mind, it's impossible, it's so hot over there, if you want to take my sister away, you can discuss it." Duo Luo is also very strong, and there is no pressure to make fun of her own sister.

"Forget it, I'd rather have a tundra beast, at least they seem to be quite capable." Wu Tong took a cautious look at Duoyan, and found that the latter had no intention of waking up, so he boldly put it on. waved.

Wulantu and Dolo, Wulan Mingzhu laughed heartlessly, but Wulantu's expression froze suddenly, and he asked loudly, "Brother Suzaku, when did you see the tundra beast?"

"Just today." Wu Tong pointed to the northwest, "with the barbarians."

When Wu Tong saw the barbarian migrating troops, he also saw many strange monsters. They were strange creatures between polar bears and sloths. They had a broad body and limbs, but their heads were flat and round, and their claws looked like Seems to be good at digging holes.

Since Ulantu said before that there are only four mainstream monsters in the extreme north, and here is the tundra, so they are naturally regarded as tundra beasts.

"Did you see the tundra beast and the barbarians together?" Ulantu reconfirmed, seemingly inconceivable.

"But you said there are only four kinds of monsters here. I don't think there are others."

Wu Lantu immediately fell silent, remembering some confidential incident, which made Wu Tong puzzled, so he could only ask Wu Lan Ming Zhu, Wu Lan Ming Zhu explained briefly.

"That's right. The tundra beasts do live on the tundra, but they are to the north of us, while the barbarians are to our northwest. It stands to reason that the barbarians shouldn't appear together with the tundra beasts, and the barbarians don't know how to tame beasts. If they are with the tundra beasts, they will fight first, what happened when you saw the tundra beasts?"

"First of all, they definitely didn't fight while walking, and second... I just remembered after you said that, the tundra beasts and those barbarians didn't break up and walked together, but a group of barbarians, a group of tundra beasts, all walked in a hurry Look. Does that mean anything?"

"It shows that the legends are not completely false. We regard them as legends only because we haven't actually seen them." Wulantu finally stopped thinking, and said with a wry smile. His expression was even uglier than before, and he was both The kind of helpless and powerless.

"Which one do you mean?" As expected of Ulantu's unmarried wife, Duo Luo was the first to understand what Ulantu meant.

"Yes, if the legend is correct, we are in big trouble this time. Not only the barbarians, but even us have to migrate."

"What the hell is it? It's so mysterious, why do we have to migrate?" Wulan Mingzhu was dissatisfied.

"It's the ice silkworm! It's the ice silkworm awakened!" Ulantu sighed, and said to Wu Tong: "Do you still remember the last ice monster I told you about? The last one is the most mysterious one. silkworm."

"Of course I remember, didn't you say that no one has seen it?"

"No one has ever seen it, because it is small and likes to crawl underground, so it cannot be seen from the outside. It is said that most of the time, ice silkworms will weave cocoons to wrap themselves up in a sleep state, even if it is under your feet. You won't feel its existence, but once the ice silkworm wakes up..."

"As long as it passes by, all creatures, whether we or the barbarians, will be mercilessly frozen to death, even polar creatures like the icebreaker turtle and tundra beast." Duo Luo finally added.

Now Wu Tong understood why the tundra beasts and the barbarians could travel together peacefully, because they had a common enemy.Moreover, this enemy is not only too strong to resist, but also invisible.
