Chapter 8: Xanadu
Xiao Han prepared some dry food and clothing, greeted Dean Guan, left the academy and walked to the windy prairie. Unlike when he first came to this world, Xiao Han was very prepared this time and spent a gold coin to buy a topographic map of the windy prairie from the Bounty Hunter Guild. Of course, it was not complete, but with it, the probability of taking a detour and getting lost should be greatly reduced.
When you enter the storm of wind, you will see a bleak place where you see it. The plants and trees are withered and yellow. There are four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter on the vast continent. This is the time when the north wind is stern in late autumn.
"puff!"
A blue light scattered into the grass, and a gust of wind rabbit struggled for a few times and stopped moving.
Peel the skin, clean the internal organs, wash them, then set the fire, sprinkle salt and seasonings, and hold the rabbit meat on the fire and roast it!
Slowly, a golden-colored and fragrant roasted rabbit appeared in Xiao Han's hands. After it was cooked, he bit it in one bite. The tender and smooth rabbit meat was in his mouth, leaving a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks. He took a sip of rum and even the gods would not change it.
Soon, a storm-weight rabbit with a weight of seven or eight pounds entered Xiao Han's stomach like a wind storm.
He burped, touched his belly, added some dead branches and firewood to the fire, and then chose a leeward place next to him to lay a layer of dead grass, sat on it, squinted his eyes and his clothes and lay down.
Bounty hunters rarely enter the windy grassland during this season, and winter is about to begin. The weather turns cold, and a terrifying blizzard will appear on the windy grassland. Now the wind is calm, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the monsters are extinct. This is a sign before the blizzard is about to come.
No bounty hunter can ever come back alive under a violent blizzard, so the windy prairie in winter is the forbidden place for all bounty hunters on the continent!
Others went out quickly, and Xiao Han did try hard to get in. Along the way, Xiao Han encountered some very strange eyes. First, he was not very clear, and no one reminded him, because this was a consensus on the mainland. President Guan thought he knew, but he still insisted on going over, so he didn't remind him more, who would know that he was not from this world at all? Second, Xiao Han was eager to break through. He had already thought about it. After the breakthrough, he would come out of the Crescent Academy and perhaps travel the entire vast continent to see if he could find a way to return to the earth!
Xiao Han's first goal is the Seventh-level Wind Horse King. If you want to travel to the mainland, you can't do without a tool for transportation. The Seventh-level Wind Horse King is the most ideal mount in his mind. Although he has not yet reached the sure step, he will really have the chance to make the Seventh-level Wind Horse King his mount, and Xiao Han will never let it go.
The general wind horses are fifth-level monsters. Most of them are gentle in nature, but there are also a few storm horses with a very irritable temper and very difficult to surrender. The seventh-level wind horse king is also a high-level monster. It also belongs to a prince on the Wind Prairie. The main activity location is the Fengma Lake area in the middle of the Wind Prairie!
Every year, thousands of bounty hunters go to the vicinity of Fengma Lake to catch Fengma, and then sell it to become mounts of various races in the mainland. Therefore, Fengma is very unfriendly to bounty hunters. As soon as they see humans appear, they immediately scatter and flee!
Since the speed of the wind horse is three times faster than that of an ordinary horse, it is very difficult to capture, and the grade is not low, wind horse mounts above level five are of no market in the human market. The nobles all regard it as a great honor to have a fifth-level wind horse as their mount!
A fifth-level wind horse can buy up to 50,000 gold coins, a sixth-level storm horse has increased by four times, 200,000 gold coins, and a seventh-level wind horse king can reach one million gold coins!
Xiao Han didn't think about catching the wind horse to make money. He just wanted to find a mount. Although the seventh-level Fengma King was the ideal goal, he was almost satisfied with being able to get a sixth-level storm horse as a mount.
Sometimes you shouldn’t be too greedy when you are a human being!
In fact, this is the best time to catch wind and horses, but few people dare to enter the wind and prairie, because the climate on the prairie changes very quickly, and there may be blizzards at any time. Not to mention wind and horses, you will not be able to save your life. That is, Xiao Han, who is confused about the inquiry, breaks in!
Fengma Lake is a very huge lake with an area as big as Taihu Lake in China on Earth. The blue lake is horizontal and quiet, horizontal like a mirror.
It's so beautiful that such a beautiful lake cannot appear on the seriously polluted earth, Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh.
Fengma Lake was found, but Xiao Han didn't see a single Fengma Horse. There were many Fengma herds by Fengma Lake. Where did they go?
Xiao Han carefully investigated the land around Qifengma Lake, hoping to find some clues from it.
When looking for monsters, one is to look at the footprints and the other is to look at the excrement. As long as you can find these two points, you can basically infer the direction of monsters.
This is not very difficult, and it does not require much experience. After all, the monster is a monster, and it is not a human, especially the monsters living in groups. No matter how cunning the monster is, it is impossible to guarantee that it will not reveal any trace. It took about half a day to find some trajectories from the messy horse hoof prints, and Xiao Han followed along the direction of the trajectory.
If the wind horse herds have to survive the cold winter and avoid blizzards, they must need a place where they can avoid wind and snow and can eat a lot of herbs, otherwise they will starve to death even if they will not be frozen to death.
Where will this be?
Xiao Han himself didn't know that no one had ever been to Fengma's nest to avoid the blizzard!
Even if you are curious, even the nine-headed cow can't hold back. Anyway, I don't have much concern, so I just figured out this matter clearly.
Xiao Han ran along the hoof prints by the lake for nearly twenty days and encountered many monsters on the way, none of which were lower than the fifth level. Relying on his strange identity and speed, as well as the help of the Eye of Reality, he gained a lot. If he returned directly to Liulin Town, he would probably make a fortune.
While fighting against various monsters on the way, Xiao Han's fighting experience is also increasing. Although the wind-type monsters are mainly wind-type monsters in the Prairie, there are also many other monsters, and they are all high-level monsters.
For example, the seventh-level Earth Bear, the earth-type magic of the Earth Bear is very powerful. Xiao Han was almost buried in the soil by it. Its defense is super high and its skin is thick. Even the Cold Iron Triangle Army Sword created by Xiao Han could not break through its defense. In the end, it could only blind its eyes with its flexible body and strange speed. It was exhausted and killed it!
After killing the seventh-level Earth Bear, Xiao Han felt that his energy and spirit had reached a peak, and he was in a peak state, but there was still a line of separation from the breakthrough, which was this line of separation that Xiao Han was about to break through.
According to the strength comparison, Xiao Han felt that his overall strength should be a primary swordsman, even a middle-level swordsman with a slightly worse strength. Of course, if the fight is fought, the victory or defeat of the top opponent of the Great Sword Master is still 50% or 50. As for what kind of strength the Sword Master is, Xiao Han does not have a clear concept in his heart, but he is confident that he can escape under the Sword Master. If he breaks through this time, even the Sword Master may not be able to do anything to him!
Looking at the rising and falling peaks, Xiao Han was shocked. There were such tall mountains in the Wind Prairie. According to the legend of the Wind Prairie in the vast continent, no one has passed through the Wind Prairie in the west of the continent for nearly ten thousand years, and no one knows what is inside the Wind Prairie. But everyone knows that only by reaching the level of cultivation can one have the ability to enter the inner belly of the Wind Prairie. You must know that the Wind Prairie, the elf forest of the southern elves, the northern orc desert and the East China Sea, are known as the four taboo places in the Cangmeng Continent!
Isn’t it amazing that there are towering mountains and rivers in the grassland?
What is behind the mountains and rivers? Even if Xiao Han is not from this world, he can't help but be excited!
He may uncover a huge secret!
At this time, the worst climate on the Wind Prairie has arrived, and the blizzard has arrived on time. The violent tornado and the severe cold of ice and snow, the entire Wind Prairie has become a country of ice and snow. Although Xiao Han is no longer the center of the Blizzard, he can hardly hold on in the extremely cold weather. Fortunately, he killed the Earth Bear and got his fur all over his body. Otherwise, before he could reveal a huge secret, he would have become an ice man himself!
Xiao Han's speed is useless under such violent energy as the world and nature. Compared with the power of nature, human power is too weak.
When the wind and snow were heavy, Xiao Han wrapped himself in the fur of the bear of the earth, then lay on the leeward, carefully recovering his strength. After the wind and snow were a little less, he crawled forward. A few days later, Xiao Han also discovered a little pattern. For example, in the middle of the night, the blizzard would have an extreme period of time, and it was only about half an hour. During this period, Xiao Han decided to a direction and rushed to the road desperately. When the blizzard was in a hurry, he quickly found the terrain to hide it. During the day, the blizzard was far less powerful than at night, but the visibility was too low. Xiao Han could only follow the feeling. He took a mouthful of the grease on the palm of the earth when he was hungry, and grabbed the snow into his mouth when he was thirsty.
In this way, after about five days, Xiao Han was not a person's life, and finally reached the edge of a blizzard with his willpower. The mountains in the distance were becoming clearer and clearer.
When Xiao Han walked to the foot of the mountain, the blizzard had no effect on him!
The heavy snow had already covered the footprints of the wind and horses, but Xiao Han was almost certain that there was a greater surprise waiting for him on the back of the mountains and rivers!
I temporarily found a sheltered valley, went to the mountains to pick up some dead grass and branches, set up a fire, set up an iron pot, and had a full meal of cooked food, preparing to enter the mountain tomorrow!
The next morning, the sky was gray and visibility was only three or five meters. Xiao Han woke up from his sleep and sorted out all the things on his body. The fur he hunted was lost except for the seventh-level earth bear. However, the magic core was still there, and he cleaned up one, dug a pit and buried it, and made a mark.
The mountain peak is very steep, and Xiao Han has to go through lightly to get through. There may be a way to get into the mountain, but Xiao Han has no time to search because he doesn't know when he will find it, and he doesn't have much food on him anymore. In this ice and snow, it may be very difficult to hunt, so Xiao Han chose to climb over directly!
Mountaineering is a very dangerous thing. Fortunately, Xiao Han was considered half a hiker before. He had some experience and chose a direction with a relatively large slope and went up like this.
Without those special climbing tools from later generations, everything can only be achieved by one's own ability. When Xiao Han went through a lot of hardships to climb the mountain, he gasped and looked at him. When he looked at the other side, he almost fell off the mountain!
It's so beautiful. The place you see is a green ocean, with bright sunshine and green grass. Looking into the distance, several beautiful lakes dotted on the beautiful fields. A huge group of wind and horses are walking around the lake, and from time to time, I lower my head and drink a few sips of sweet lake water!
This is still the range that his eyes can see!
Xiao Han felt that he was probably coming to a paradise this time!
