Chapter 261 The Black King Serpent's Cunning Tactics
Ouch~!
Upon seeing the black king snake thank him, Tiger Dad raised his chin and nodded reservedly.
Sure enough, although my son is amazing, I, as his father, still have many irreplaceable roles to play!
Just like helping the black king snake withstand the severe cold, the little one can only ask for help from himself!
"Previously, we were only thinking about how Kangcheng could use technology to solve the problem of black king snakes overwintering."
Actually, Tiger Dad's Black Flame Domain can also solve this problem.
The Black Flame Domain doesn't consume much of Tiger Dad's own spiritual power; instead, it consumes external spiritual energy.
However, after the spiritual energy in the same area is consumed, it takes some time for the spiritual energy in other areas to flow back in on its own.
In other words, theoretically speaking, as long as Tiger Dad doesn't fight and keeps moving, the Black Flame Domain can be maintained for a long time..."
Looking at the Black King Snake, which had regained its vitality, and Tiger Dad's upturned smile, Cangnian nodded to himself.
hiss……
While Cangnian was pondering, the Black King Serpent, which had regained its vitality, opened its mouth wide in boredom and gasped for breath.
Then, from within the Black Flame Domain, the raging black flames poured into the Black King Serpent's mouth.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian was stunned for a moment and quickly ran to the side of the Black King Snake.
Tiger Dad's black flames are not comparable to ordinary flames!
What if something goes wrong if you swallow it whole?
However, after several seconds, the black king snake did not show any signs of discomfort.
It even took another puff, seemingly still wanting more.
The surging black flames poured into the Black King Serpent's mouth, and it's unknown where they were stored.
It takes a long time to suck on this one, a full two and a half minutes!
And Tiger Dad's Black Flame Domain was completely devoured by it!
Seeing this, the tiger dad was completely dumbfounded.
Although the black flames in the Black Flame Domain are not fundamentally different from the black flames he experienced when he awakened to a first-order evolved creature on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide.
However, after several evolutions, the strength of the black flames is now incomparable to what it used to be!
So, the black king snake just swallowed it like that?
This was somewhat of a blow to Tiger Dad.
What's the difference between this and pointing an AK at someone's face, only for the other person to snatch the AK and then gargle with it?
"Huh~?"
Seeing that the Black King Serpent had finished swallowing the Black Flame Domain, Cang Nian called out to the Black King Serpent, asking it how it was feeling.
hiss~!
In response, the black king snake happily wriggled its massive body, indicating that it could maintain its body temperature and was no longer bothered by the severe cold!
hiss~!
Then, the black king snake used the tip of its tail to draw three vertical lines on the ground.
Then, it pointed the tip of its tail eastward, rotated 180 degrees in the air, and turned to the west.
"Uh... does this mean that it can maintain its current state of being unaffected by the severe cold for three days?"
After careful consideration, Cang Nian finally deciphered the meaning the Black King Serpent was trying to convey.
Three vertical lines drawn at the tip of the tail indicate quantity.
The tip of the tail points from east to west, indicating that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Taken together, it means three days!
"Huh~?"
To confirm whether his understanding was correct, Cang Nian let out a suspicious howl, expressing his doubt.
hiss~!
Upon hearing Cangnian's question, the Black King Snake quickly nodded its large head, indicating that Cangnian was right!
That's exactly what it means!
"That's great! It seems that the Black King Serpent stores Tiger Dad's black flames in its body as a heat source."
This heat source can continuously provide heat to maintain body temperature.
This way, they won't be unable to move due to the low temperature, or even risk death.
Moreover, one replenishment can last for three days, which saves a lot of trouble!
After a moment's thought, Cangnian understood the principle behind the Black King Snake's ability to maintain its body temperature, and he was quite delighted.
Although it's not impossible for Tiger Dad to maintain the Black Flame Domain.
But this means that Tiger Dad has no free time all day long.
Now, one replenishment can last for three days, which is so convenient!
He made Tiger Dad travel such a long way to keep the Black King Serpent warm here, just so Tiger Dad's Black Flame Domain wouldn't burn the house down.
"I wonder if this snowfall will lead to a sustained drop in temperature. If so, we should make sure to stockpile food in advance..."
Then, Cangnian pondered in his heart.
"Ow~!"
Thinking of this, Cangnian roared at Tiger Dad and Black King Snake.
go!
Go hunting!
……
Eighty-eight days after birth.
Awooooo~!
Under the pine tree, Tiger Brother roared excitedly.
It finally left its spiritual imprint on the spirit of the magic weapon!
Feeling the unique connection between himself and the golden bowl, Tiger Brother enthusiastically urged it on, making it fly around wobbling and having a great time.
"Looks like if you study hard, you can actually understand it..."
Seeing that Tiger Brother had succeeded, Cang Nian nodded with satisfaction.
However, the temperature changes during this period are not optimistic.
The heavy snow lasted for three days.
Apart from intermittent stops for a few hours, Cangnian shows no signs of the snow completely stopping.
During this time, Cangnian went to Kangcheng to check on the situation there and picked up a few thermometers to keep track of temperature changes.
Although the snow came unexpectedly, humans will not have too much difficulty coping with it if they know how to make fire for warmth.
However, the snowfall was too heavy, with an average thickness of over thirty centimeters.
With a thickness approaching that of a human knee, even the speed of an elderly person's daily running exercise is significantly affected, let alone that of a human.
Fortunately, the previous digging in Kangcheng had yielded a considerable amount of surplus food, which would sustain them for a period of time even without hunting.
But the temperature drop is getting more and more severe.
The initial temperature remained, and some residual heat prevented the temperature from dropping too quickly.
Even so, the thermometer showed that the temperature had dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius!
Originally, Cangnian thought this was just an early winter. In the snowy mountains of Northeast China, the lowest temperature can reach minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius. Minus twenty degrees Celsius was nothing to worry about.
What Cangnian didn't expect was that this abnormal temperature change prevented the plants adapted to the changing seasons in the Northeast snow-capped mountains from changing their own state and surviving the cold winter.
Cang Nian discovered that over 70% of the plants froze to death during this sudden cold winter!
According to Professor Liu from Kangcheng Biological Field, this is because plants accumulate starch and fat during the autumn when there is a huge temperature difference between day and night, so they can protect their fragile cells in winter.
However, now that autumn, when plants are "fatting up and growing fat," has passed, we have come directly into the cold winter. The plants did not have time to prepare and were unable to withstand the cold winter.
In other words, many plants have evolved and become much more resilient. Otherwise, this harsh winter would have wiped out more than 90% of the plants, if not all of them!
dong dong dong...
Just as Cangnian was recalling what Professor Liu had said, he felt the ground tremble, and even the river water beside him was shaking!
Following the source of the sound, I looked north.
A wide and long line of deer of all kinds plunged into the river, rushing from the dense forest in the north towards the south bank of the river!
