After walking in the jungle for three days, I walked through the jungle and stepped into the mountains. "Words * love * first * hair

The snow-covered mountains, Qin Ruoruo only looked at the front of him, and suddenly felt like he had returned to Antarctica.

But the icebergs here are different from any other place, especially the white forests everywhere

"Ice Wheel Wood actually has such a vast forest," Qin Ruo was shocked.

It's like an ocean of ice wheels

The vast area of the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, is full of ice wheel wood, tall and short, thick and thin, rooted in the rocks.

"Yes, it's full of ice wheelwood, but not many of them can be made. Don't look at this one as thick as a small bucket, but it's actually too thin to use. The real ice wheel wood is actually just the point in the heart of the tree. At the very least, I need an ice wheel wood as thick as my waist, and if such ice wheel wood is cut down, I can get an ice wheel wood as thick as a newborn baby's wrist. This kind of ice wheel wood is really useful. But on this kind of mountain, it is very difficult to grow so thick. Without a hundred or two hundred years, it cannot grow. And when it grows for so many years, it may not be usable. Because the trees here grow with the mountain, they bend a lot. Only a straight trunk can have a straight heart. Mbato explained.

Qin Ruo nodded: "In that way, the annual harvest must not be much." ”

"It's still okay, over there, over this hill, there is a plain valley on a high mountain, sandwiched between three mountains, there is a forest of considerable size. That forest is where we mainly get the Ice Wheel Wood. Most of the trees there can grow in good space and conditions. Mbato gestured to a mountain ahead.

After climbing over a mountain, my eyes suddenly became brighter.

It was as if the earth had suddenly risen here.

It was vast, and Qin Ruo had to have at least tens of thousands of acres of huge ice wheel wood forest appear in front of him.

He couldn't help but gasp, originally thinking that the production of ice wheel wood should be difficult. But seeing this forest, Qin Ruo suddenly felt that it was not difficult. Even if it is a hundred years of success, these tens of thousands of acres of ice wheel wood, cut down in turn, are enough to never be exhausted. What's more, how can hundreds of acres be cut down at one time

Although there are many large ones, most of them are located in the center, near the edges, and the areas with obvious signs of felling are mostly suitable materials.

With such materials, there can be a dozen, or even dozens, of trees per acre of land. There are more than ten acres of land, and more than 100 ice wheel trees must be harvested in a year.

As for the ice wheel fruit, it's even more

Descending the hillside, there is a camp built against the leeward side of the hill below. However, the camp was surrounded by a wooden stockade on the outside, and on the inside, a dozen or so houses were all backed by steep cliffs. Even Qin Ruo felt that half of this house smelled like it was in the mountains.

When they got closer, there were already people at the door to greet them, and when they saw the people coming, the people stationed here were very happy: because the one-year rotation was over, they could return to their families and then at least ten years without the need for a shift.

The handover is very simple, their work for a year is to find suitable ice wheel wood to cut down, and then collect as many ice wheel fruits as possible. Although there are about fifty of them here, there are not many ice wheel fruits they can protect in fact, and the golden-beaked eagle can fly after all. So, most of the time, they need to go deep into the forest and pick the ice wheel fruits that are protected by dense branches and leaves, and the golden-beaked eagle can't beak them.

Seeing Qin Ruo, they were all surprised, but after getting the explanation, everyone was very happy.

The camp became hasty, for in a few days the group would leave and return to the camp with a year's harvest. Qin Ruo and Mbato also had to go back at that time.

"Let's go find an ice wheel tree." Mbato looked at Qin Ruo and smiled.

Qin Ruo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have a brother and a woman, both of whom cultivate ice attribute power. This Ice Wheel Wood and Ice Wheel Gold are the most suitable for them. ”

"Haha, that's as it should be. Ice wheel wood and ice wheel gold are the best things in the world to obtain ice attributes. Let's go find a few better ones. Haldun, you take a few people and come with us. Mbato beckoned to a young man.

That young man was the first person to come over that night to listen to Qin Ruo's talk about the outside world, and when he heard Mbato's greeting, he hurriedly called more than a dozen people over.

"Chief, are we going to look for the Ice Wheel Wood for the guests, I think I should go back and find someone who was stationed last time, they are familiar with this place now." Hardun said.

Mbato nodded: "Hurry up, it's almost dark now, we have to rush back before dark." ”

Although it is close to the Arctic Circle, the weather in this secret place is very distinct, and the dark and the dawn are completely separated. It's just that when it comes to the polar day and night at the Arctic, the ratio of day to night here will also change.

Hardun quickly brought back a man who looked to be in his thirties, and that person looked at Qin Ruoshili with a smile.

Qin Ruo hurriedly returned the salute, and then Mbatoar took Qin Ruo, as well as Hardun and others, a total of eighteen people, and walked towards the valley under the mountain.

The valley below the mountain, from halfway up the mountain, is overgrown with ice wheel wood.

Qin Ruo thought that he was going to the valley at the bottom of the mountain, but he didn't know that Mbato had been walking along the mountainside with everyone, and as he walked, he kept asking the person around him who was on duty here last time.

After more than an hour, when it was almost dark, Mbato found a forest on a small ridge halfway up the mountain and stopped.

"Ice wheel wood is produced everywhere, but the grain is not as good as the mountainside, where trees can barely grow. The more icewheel trees grow in places that are difficult to live in, the higher the quality of the heart of the tree. Mbato explained.

Qin Ruo was stunned.

At this time, Hardun followed the man stationed in the previous period, and soon found two straight trees that were almost as thick as his waist and almost the thickest in this forest. A few others are a little thicker, but a little curved.

"These two are good, and they have at least 500 years of growth rings. Do it, boys. Hurry up, we're going back. Mbato laughed.

Qin Ruo was taken aback: "More than five hundred years"

"Yes, the trees that grow on this ridge, of the same age, are much smaller than those in the valley, but the treasures inside are also better." Mbato said.

A big tree, although their tools look rough, they are very effective, especially when used by a group of masters of the Seven or Eight Heavens of the Jindan Realm, which is more efficient.

Despite the need to pay attention to the surrounding trees, they brought down the two large trees in less than twenty minutes. Then the head of the tree was cut off, and only a section less than four meters long remained, and then in teams of two, the ice wheel wood was tied up with ropes, intending to carry it back. The rest of the tree was also brought back, but it was just a lasso and ready to be pulled back.

At this time, Qin Ruo understood why it took so many people to cut down two trees.

There are not many people who need to carry away the ice wheel wood, and the most people need to prune the tree head, including the branches and leaves, except for the small branches, and the slightly larger branches must also be brought back.

"It's fuel. Here, Ice Wheel Wood is a God-given treasure. Needless to say, Mu Xin doesn't need to say it, and Bingguo doesn't need to say it. The wood outside the heart of this wood is not so cold and tough, and it burns up, but the effect is very good. So after the ice wheel wood on this mountain is cut down, we bring back the rest of it, part of it is made into daily tools, and the other part, including the thicker branches, is our fuel. Mbato said.

Qin Ruo nodded.

Their use of ice wheel wood is really not wasted at all.

Qin Ruo wanted to help, but was rejected by Mbato: "We don't have a reason to let the guests do it here." What's more, it's a gift, and of course we need to get our hands dirty. I wouldn't have let you go so far if it weren't for the fact that you know how to cut down the Ice Wheel Wood. ”

Qin Ruo had no choice but to follow them. Seeing that they were not heavy, on the contrary, it was relatively easy to go back with all these things, and Qin Ruo was also more comfortable.

Back at the camp, the work of cutting down the ice wheel wood officially began.

The first is naturally peeling. But it was the women in the team who peeled it

This is something that Qin Ruo didn't find out until now

The peeled bark was neatly set aside, and someone immediately came to help sort it out.

"The fibers in the inner layer of the bark can be made into close-fitting clothes that are very warm to wear. However, the yield is not large, and it takes more than a dozen trees to be able to produce one. Mbato's looked at Qin Ruo and explained.

Qin Ruo nodded: "It seems that your use of the Ice Wheel Wood can be said to have reached its limit. ”

Mbato sighed: "What a limit, just can't help it." The inner fibers of the bark, no matter how good, are not as good as cotton and silk. But that's all we can do. Fortunately, the fibers of this bark are very strong, and when one piece is ready, it will not break for decades. ”

Qin Ruo was a little silent.

Yes, they do have a high utilization rate of ice wheel wood, but on the other hand, they are indeed short of materials.

If it is a secret place in Huaxia, this problem is generally not big. After all, the location of Huaxia, in most places, there is no extreme cold, there is no extreme heat, it is in the temperate zone, and most of the needs can be produced by themselves. Even if it is a closed secret place, there will be no shortage of materials to such a journey.

But here is different, except for these trees, there are few shrubs, as for those fibers that can be used, such as cotton and linen, there is no trace at all, and the inner fibers of the bark are probably the only materials they can get to make zuò intimate clothing.

Their movements were fast, and the bark of the two trees had been stripped by the time it was completely dark.

Then two snow-white ice wheels were carried to the largest room in the center of the camp.

At this time, Qin Ruo found out: This house doesn't look like it's half in the mountains, it's in the mountains at all

The room is only about five meters outside, and it is made of wood outside, and then some rooms are divided, which seems to be for accommodation or daily living.

But inside, there was a wide cave, and in the cave, the light was like day, which was brought by several huge night pearls.

"That's not what you think the pearl of the night is, it's dug up from the mountains. This thing has no special function, and it does not contain true qi, but it reflects and stores sunlight. Just basking in the sun all day outside will illuminate you for a month. Seeing Qin Ruo staring at that thing, Mbato said with a smile.
