Chapter 417 [Opportunity Comes Again]
Further north, the nights become long and the days only short.
There are fewer and fewer people here, surrounded by endless forests, no cultivated land, villages, and roads, and even fishing and hunting tribes are invisible.
Maybe it's because they are too sparsely distributed, so it's hard to come across them if you go straight north.
The scenery is magnificent, the rolling mountains are covered with white snow, shining golden in the sun. Occasionally, the wind will howl, rolling the snow and moving forward, and will stop when encountering terrain that slows down the wind speed.
Thus, some deep valleys and ravines were covered with thick snow in this kind of weather. For ordinary people, this kind of terrain is really dangerous. After all, the deep valley is hidden under the snow, and it is covered with snow. It is no different from the surrounding area, at most it is a little sunken.
But after walking up, you will fall into it, just like falling into a swamp, and it is easy to die.
The rivers and streams in the mountains and forests are also frozen. Except for the wind blowing around, the world seems to be frozen in this ice and snow.
The only thing that is alive is the occasional footprints on the snow. This proves that in this icy and snowy world, there are still creatures active outside.
Walking slowly in this lonely world, Fang Chang suddenly felt a move in his heart.
He stopped.
Surrounded by a mountain depression, coupled with the terrain next to it, the howling wind outside will not affect this place, nor will it be buried with snow.
Here's just an average layer of snow covering the ground and surrounding trees.
Fang Chang opened the backpack and took out a bronze ax from it.
It was the one he used before. Since the steel was available, Fang Chang used a new iron ax on Xianqi Cliff, so this outstanding bronze ax was officially retired and put in the corner.
But this time when he went out, Fang Chang saw it in the shed when he was wandering around packing his luggage, so he put it in his backpack.
Now comes in handy.
Fang Chang chose an open space, took a look around, and then walked towards the nearby trees with an ax in hand.
The sound of the ax cutting into the wood resounded through the nearby forest.
crunch——
boom-
The fallen trees with their branches and leaves stirred up snow and dust.
After going back and forth several times, Fang Chang cut down dozens of extremely thick and straight trees before the sun set.
He took out a saw, sawed off the branches with an axe, and then cut the wood into suitable sections, cut grooves on it, and built a wooden house directly without pulling out nails. He even left doors and windows on the wooden house, then put glass on the windows, and weaved a door out of tree branches.
Fang Chang's speed is very fast and the efficiency is very high. If two ordinary people are here, it will take three or four days just to build these logs into a wooden house. Now he spent a whole day and night to build a wooden house here.
Tried whether the installed door was strong, Fang Chang walked out of the house.
It was the time of sunrise at this time, and the rising sun passed over the snow-covered mountains in the distance, and sprinkled its brilliance on the ground. Looking from the direction of the wooden house, there were colorful rays of light refracted by the snow on the top of the snow peak next to the rising sun.
He suddenly stopped on his way and built a wooden house here, not without a reason.
This is a long-lost feeling.
Having been on the path of cultivation for so many years, Fang Chang has also felt this way several times. Every time he encounters such a situation, he will follow the guidance of his spiritual sense and go with nature, and soon he will be able to break through the bottleneck of cultivation and achieve a leap.
I don’t know what the opportunity will be this time?
But Fang Chang knew that he should build a house here to stay for a few days in his spiritual sense, so he stopped, felled wood and built a wooden house here.
Thanks to the huge capacity of the blue cloth backpack on the back, there are many sundries inside.
Tables and chairs, benches, pots and pans, food seasonings, pillows and bedding, firewood and coal, copper coins, gold and silver, tin ingots and steel ingots, nails and hemp ropes, bamboo and rattan, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, cloth and fur, in short, everything that can be used Everything is available.
You can even turn a boat out of it.
Even if Fang Chang is a weak ordinary person with no cultivation base, given him so many supplies, he can survive in this cold mountain forest smoothly.
So during this night, Fang Chang arranged the cabin in a warm and comfortable way.
The wind was not strong at the moment, he wandered around for a while, caught a flying dragon that got up early to look for food, and went back to the house.
The bed was made in the room, the tables and chairs were placed, and there were teapots and cups on them.
It's just the fire pocket in his sleeve, which has been extinguished because it has not been used for too long and has not been replenished. And because there was no suitable fuel, he couldn't make a lighter for himself after all, and Fang Chang was in a state of waiting for an opportunity, and he didn't want to use spells to ignite it.
But how to live and cook this flying dragon, Fang Chang still has a way.
When Sang Ziping gave him several elixir plants, he used a crystal box. Later, he transformed the box into a convex lens, and he is carrying it with him now.
The sun is very good at the moment, although it is not as fierce as at noon, but it is enough.
Fang Chang thought to himself, although it is difficult to make a lighter, he can find phosphorus rock in Yunzhong Mountain and try to make some matches. White phosphorus matches are also good. Using raw materials such as red phosphorus and potassium nitrate to make safety matches is somewhat difficult given his current conditions, but after this catastrophe is over, he will have a lot of free time, so he can definitely try it.
He took out some tinder, and Fang Zhang piled up dry grass, twigs, and firewood on the ground in order, and then used a convex lens to face the sun to adjust the focus. The sunlight was gathered together, very bright, forming a bright spot on the tinder.
There was a red light on the tinder, and it started to smoke. Fang Chang quickly put it into the hay and blew gently.
When there is sun, this is much faster than drilling wood to make fire.
Take out an iron pot from the house, prop it up on the fire with stones, then Fang Chang shovels a few large pieces of snow, and throws it into the pot to melt it.
While boiling the water, he was in the snow and used the snow to roughly wash and peel it to catch the flying dragon.
Although there is a word "dragon" in the name of this flying dragon, it is actually a kind of bird. Some people call it "Hazel Chicken" or "Tree Chicken". It is the most delicious.
In the common saying "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat underground", "dragon meat" refers to the meat of flying dragons.
But Fang Chang has only heard of its name, and has never tasted it. So this time he just happened to have a meeting, so he grabbed one and prepared to cook it for a taste.
The water in the pot turned over, Fang Chang took out some homemade tea leaves and put them in the pot, scooped water to fill up the tea pot, and then started chopping and stewing the flying dragon.
The aroma quickly spread.
He took out a stack of thick sourdough bread from his bag, and slowly roasted it by the fire.
