Chapter 299: Night in the Snowy Mountains
Paimeng shook his little head and tried hard to turn his head to see Gu Chen's face:
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Looking at her expectant expression, Gu Chen smiled and said nothing. He just stretched out his finger and condensed a little light energy.
It's really just a little bit of light energy.
This ray of light turned into a light particle and floated out from Gu Chen's fingertips.
The light particles were golden, looking like fireflies and stars, flying gently in front of Gu Chen.
The moment the light particles appeared, the warm fairies floating around immediately felt it!
As if it had found something that attracted it, the warm fairy spirit floated towards the light particles.
Gu Chen still smiled without saying a word, controlling the light particles to fly towards their camp.
Similarly, the warm fairy spirits that were attracted also began to float towards that side slowly.
Gu Chen, holding Pai Meng in his arms, followed calmly at the back, giving a feeling of having hidden merits and fame.
Looking at Gu Chen's operation, Paimeng in his arms was stunned:
"Just a little bit of light energy can attract the warm spirit away!?"
Gu Chen's tone was as it should be:
"Yes.
My light energy is a special energy of extremely high quality.
This energy has great appeal to fairies.
So, the warm spirit just followed my light energy and floated over. The principle is that simple."
Frowning, Paimon suddenly remembered something:
"etc……
The purpose of us looking for the warm fairy is to keep warm at night, right?
Your light energy can surely also radiate warmth, right?
If that's the case, there's no need to look for Deep Crimson Stones or Warm Fairies. All you need to do is release some light energy, and that'll definitely be enough to keep us warm for the entire night, right?!
Are we going in completely opposite directions?!"
Smiling and rubbing Paimeng's little head in his arms, Gu Chen explained:
“While I can certainly do something so convenient, it’s not that simple.
If it's just the two of us adventuring in the snowy mountains, then of course we can do whatever is convenient.
However, we still have Xiangling, Shenhe, Rosalind and others with us. They must learn how to stay in the snow-capped mountains at risk.
If we go to a similar cold environment in the future and we are not with them, what will they do?
It is necessary to be self-reliant. I cannot protect them all the time."
Paimon was convinced to a certain extent. She frowned and nodded:
"Well...you...you have a point."
In this way, the light particles floated in the front, the warm fairies floated in the middle, and Gu Chen and Paimon followed at the end. It didn't take them long to return to the camp.
When Gu Chen and Paimeng returned to the camp, Rosaline had almost prepared a hot dinner.
Not only that, Shen He and Xiang Ling also came back. They each dug up a lot of deep red stones from the surrounding areas.
Looking at the number of deep red stones, Gu Chen knew that the temperature in their tent would definitely be enough tonight and they would definitely be able to sleep warmly.
However, Shen He and Xiang Ling couldn't help but feel envious when they saw that Gu Chen had actually found a warm fairy.
When it comes to heating, of course warm fairies are more comfortable.
Just as the three of them gathered together to discuss Gu Chen's method of attracting the warm fairy, Rosaline had already prepared dinner.
They immediately came to the center of the camp, sat around the burning campfire, took their own bowls and chopsticks, and happily ate dinner.
Dinner is mainly hot soup, which is mainly made of various meats, and the main purpose is to provide sufficient energy.
After drinking the broth, everyone felt warmer immediately.
Taking advantage of the warmth, everyone gathered around the campfire and quickly discussed the details of the night watch.
Ah, yes.
The principles of camping and accommodation in the Dragon Back Snow Mountain are the same as those of camping and accommodation in the wild.
On cold nights, people are needed to take turns to keep watch and defend against monsters or enemies around.
As long as you sit by the campfire and keep your spirits up and remain vigilant, the vigil will not be so painful.
After some discussion, the four of them quickly determined the order of the night watch.
Xiangling was the first to keep watch, then Shen He was the second, then Gu Chen was the third, and Rosaline was the last.
This order also makes sense.
Among the four, Xiangling is the weakest, so she is asked to guard the relatively easiest period at the beginning.
It is relatively dangerous if the time is later, so it is time to switch to the stronger Shen He.
When it is Gu Chen's turn, it is the dead of night, the most difficult time and the time most prone to danger. It is no problem to leave it to him.
Finally, in the early hours of the morning, when it was almost dawn, I simply asked Rosaline for help.
It was just right that she could prepare a hot breakfast at sunrise.
That way, they can have breakfast as soon as they get up and leave the tent, which saves time and is convenient.
After determining the order of night watch, everyone hurried back to their tents one by one while the warmth on their bodies had not yet dissipated.
When Shen He, Xiang Ling, and Rosaline returned to the tent, each of them brought in a lot of deep red stones to keep warm.
When Gu Chen and Paimeng entered his tent, he took the warm fairy in with him.
The two companions sat in the thick tent, looking at the warm golden-red fairy floating above their heads. It could be used for both warmth and lighting, which was really convenient.
After looking at it for a while, Paimeng frowned again. She found a problem:
"Gu Chen, the temperature in the tent is indeed suitable now.
But, this thing is so bright, how can we sleep at night?
Could you please... turn it off!?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen's face was filled with black lines:
"What do you mean by shutting someone down? That's too rude!
Even if it could be turned off, it would also have to stop emitting warmth when it stopped emitting light. Aren't you afraid that we'd freeze to death in the middle of the night?"
"Then...what should I do? How can I sleep when it's so bright?"
Gu Chen slowly took out two eye masks, one large and one small, from the storage space:
“Luckily, I was prepared.
Here, take it, why not use this thing?
Once you put this thing on, you can fall asleep."
Taking the pure black eye mask, Paimon nodded seriously:
"Oh, that's a good idea. Gu Chen, you really are the one who can stop the enemy with a general and block the water with earth."
A black line appeared on Gu Chen's head:
"I always feel that your compliments are a little subtle? Is it an illusion?
Never mind, let's get some rest early, we still have to travel through the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain tomorrow."
Nodding, Paimon agreed.
So next, Paimeng quickly got into the warm sleeping bag, stretched his arms and legs to find a suitable sleeping position.
Gu Chen took his time and got into the sleeping bag only after Paimeng had curled up.
After entering the sleeping bag, the two put on eye masks one by one and began to sleep while snuggling up to each other.
