Chapter 204 Chapter 204 Bear's Den Theorem
"It's getting harder and harder to make a fire, peat must be saved Use it." To save fuel, Dagon can only ignite in a home heirloom pot, which can block the cold wind to the greatest extent and extinguish the flame. "The snow is so thick that I can't see any plants anymore, not even animal feces..."

"Don't talk about animal feces, I'm eating." Shiloh cautiously squeezed the halfling cake and sent it to his mouth , followed by the other hand below. Nothing is more pleasant in cold weather than high-sweet foods, especially when they don't need to be thawed and meats can already be firmer than a stone. "If you let me use spell..."

"We can hold on, but the energy of the terrain elements here is very weak, and it will be difficult for you to replenish mana through the cycle, which is the big difficulty."

"Then let me test you: Compared with the elf camp, what is the level of terrain element energy where we are now?"

"Water Element is about 70%, Earth Element only has 20%, the wood element is almost zero, and the fire and gold are completely zero." Dagon thought for a while, and added: "If you remove one meter of snow, the Earth Element can increase by 10%, but the fire and gold are still the same. Zero."

"That's right! This is really good, it seems that I am indeed a good teacher." Shirouai poured the cake crumbs in her palm into her mouth, chewing and mumbling "Your elemental sense is good, why isn't the incantation bad?"

"Maybe I haven't found the trick yet." Dagon opened his ears to probe around, then pointed forward and said, "Find it. The resting place is over there."

"Where?" Shiloh narrowed her eyes, and following the direction of Dagon's fingers, she saw a slightly raised little snow bag. "Are you going to build another snow house?"

"Last time, I had to take a day off to let the horned deer and sled dogs recover. This time we're just staying overnight, so it's not worth it to build a snow house." Dagon said: "There's a tree hole there, just clear the snow outside, and it's enough to shelter from the wind."

"It's a bear den again? How did you find it? I can't see it at all." Shiloh Ai rubbed his cheeks lightly, pulled the scarf up, and said, "It's so right to bring you this hunter."

Parking the sled, Dagon took the shovel and started to work. With the help of the earth's hearing, Dagon was very aware of the distribution of the snow and the shape of the hole. He didn't waste any effort at all, and a hole more than one meter wide appeared in a short while.

It really is a tree hole, and many tree roots can still be seen sticking out of the soil layer. But the tree above is dead, it was cut in half, it may be caused by the strong wind, or it may be caused by a large wild beast passing by, but the roots below it are mostly damaged by the bears digging holes, and it has long since become Too fragile, this is the main reason.

"This is the third bear hole we've found, but we haven't seen a single bear." Dagon was crawling on the ground, his shovel forward, digging in full. Some dirt mixed with snow kept flying out of the hole, along with Dagon's babble. "It's not just bears, we haven't seen a large wild beast. The biggest one is a single yak. Isn't this normal?"

"Maybe the barbarians in the north are too hungry, so they Did everyone eat it up?" Shiloh rubbed his stomach and reached out to the bag containing the halfling cake.

"Don't eat it! Today's ration is enough."

"You can peek at me even in the cave, how much you care about me!" snorted and said: "I'm very hungry right now, I order you to find me something to eat, it's up to you!"

"Hasn't the mana eagle found it yet?"

Xi Lloyd shook his head, sighed. "The earth is all white, and the mana eagle's eyes are almost blind. Unless it is a creature like a yak and a big horned deer, other such as a snow rabbit or a snow fox, the mana eagle can't see it at all."

"Snow and ice can hurt your eyes." Dagon stuck his head out of the hole and said, "Okay, it's almost there, come in and take shelter from the wind. There are enough dogs inside, but the bighorn deer can only stay outside. ."

"It won't mind." With a wave of Shiroai's hand, the pink flames spread out, flying over the heads of each animal, and they began to act according to the wizard's instructions. Every day, while managing the herd, Dagon wouldn't say Shiroai wasted mana. Her enchantment spell can save a lot of time in domesticating and managing animals, and saves a lot of physical effort.

The inside of the tree hole is very short, even if you are sitting, you have to lower your head, so everyone just lay down on their sides. The lead sled dog is eligible for the best position, which is huddled next to Shiloh, serving as her armrest and pillow. The elf female mage scratched its neck with the slender fingers she used to cast spells, and the dog lay down naturally, leaning its head on her lap, sticking its tongue out above and showing its belly below, very comfortable.

Dagon saw this, laughed, and continued to dig the stove. Sleeping in World of Ice and Snow must pay attention to the height difference, one must not lie in the lowest place, because the cold air gathers downward and the heat rises. So Dagon had to dig a low hole and put the sleeping bag in a higher position. The bonfire continued to burn in the pot, which did not delay the heating of the copper kettle on it, and some tea could be brewed in a while.

The halfling feed sausages were skewered and placed on top of the pot to bake and thaw, and a strong meaty smell began to dissipate. The sled dogs wagged their tails vigorously, looking at Dagon one by one, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident. Shirouai couldn't stand the smell, she kept pinching her nose with her hands, and she would not let go after more than ten minutes. It seems that the Halfling Reserve Sausage has taken great pains to keep the elves a secret.

"If you can't find prey, you can only eat what you have stored on the road, and you can only endure if the taste is not good." Dagon said: "We have not encountered lakes or relatively large rivers, fishing It has also become an extravagant hope. Phew... where have the animals gone, won't they really be eaten up?"

"The Barbarian Race in the Northland is often like this, eat as much as you have. , even if it is wasted, there will be no leftovers. When they find that there is not enough food for the winter, they will lead their troops south to face off at the canine fortress, and at the same time choose to rush in other directions and steal.” Shiloai said: “Call them Barbarian Race , because they don't know how to produce and reserve, they only know how to use, which is too backward."

"You can teach them." Dagon said.

"It's true, but I don't have that spare time." Shiroai said: "The threat of monsters is still there, and in more than ten years, the infinite labyrinth will start fighting again. At this time, who still has Are you free? And the elves have sent envoys to the Barbarian Race many times. The same is true of your Jiangu clansman in the canine fortress, but they simply ignore the signal of peace. They do not understand peace and cooperation, but they think it is more beneficial to maintain the current state. Alas, they have no hope of breaking through the elves or Jiangu fortresses, let them go."

Dagon lightly sighed. He didn't know much about the situation in the north, so he couldn't discuss this topic, let alone come up with a feasible solution, so he should concentrate on preparing food and lodging for everyone.

The minced sausages are mixed in the feed, and the bighorn deer have eaten several bites, not to mention the dogs. When they're full, they take the time to rest, thanks to Shiloh Spell. She covered her lap with a relatively light dog as a quilt, held a large mug of hot tea in both hands, mixed it with some soothing potion, and sipped it while inhaling the heat.

Red's pupils were full of Dagon's reflections, and she kept staring at the hands holding the needle-reinforced tow rope. "Dagon, what are you talking about when you sleep during the day?"

Dagon and Shiloh take turns sleeping and keep moving as much as possible when the sled dogs are in good shape. Shiloh was very quiet when he was resting, and Dagon didn't know he could talk in his sleep. "I will mutter? I shouldn't. I have been trained to sleep without sound."

"Weapon Master still has this kind of training? It's cruel." Shiroai twitched his lips and said: " Even if you have training in this area, you may be exhausted and you are really talking in your sleep. I listened closely, like some numbers, plus or minus something. I'm still thinking, if you mutter some people's names , I'll wake you up."

"I'll tell you the names of my parents first, lest you wake me up when I'm muttering about them - why are you so cruel!" Dagon said with a smile: "Mumbling about numbers? Then I know what's going on. I've been practicing arithmetic recently, trying to figure out the data in the book "Infinity World Mana" and find the correct algorithm."

Shi Luoai suddenly became very excited, kicking his legs, a dog flew out. If the top of the hole hadn't bumped her head, she would have bounced straight up. "Ah? That's the book that drove Douglin crazy? Didn't I tell you not to do such a dangerous thing!"

"Calm down, that book has a big problem, I know very well, I didn't sink in." Dagon grabbed Shiroai's shoulders with both hands and gently pushed her back into place. "Listen carefully, I'm using the data inside, not the theory inside. My theory comes from "Turn Gas into Stone", and there are some models I built myself. Uh, can you understand the model?"

"I know array spell, how could I not understand what a model is." Shiloh stared at Dagon and said, "No, I'm not at ease. Tell me what you are doing, don't hide it. . I'm going to refute you point by point and let you know what spell, incantation, and mana really are. Dagon, you have to promise me that you can't stick to the wrong things like a stupid dwarf!"

"Don't get excited, Don't get excited, I promise." Dagon said, "If you want to hear it, I also want to know what the experts on spell will have to say. I have to say it up front, the overall model has not been fully built, and I am currently working on it. There are only some clips in it. If you are wrong, just point out the mistake and don't laugh at me."

"I won't laugh at you, I promise this." Shiloai said: "But if I find out You've been fooled by "Infinite World Mana", I promise to make that book disappear from the world forever. Even if you have strong mental resistance, I can dig it out of your brain and throw it in In the lava lake!"

"Look at how anxious you are." Dagon smiled, and he felt the warmth that Shiroai cared about, which was warm and comfortable. So he stepped on a flat ground at the bottom of the pit with his boots, took out a dagger as a pen, and began to write his theories.
