Chapter 215 The Blizzard Begins

Su Li and Song Mingyu's lives began to become more regular.

When I'm awake, I chat with others, sharing my views on magical energy and my insights into power. Then I focus on cultivating, pondering my skills and future development.

Every now and then, they would go hunting, not only at the lake, but also with Song Mingyu in the woods where they chased down several wolf-like deer.

This group of wolf-like deer should be the original inhabitants of this cave. They fled because of the earthquake and are now preparing to return after some time.

Su Li coveted their deerskin; the systematically tanned deerskin was much easier to clean than his blanket. Every time he placed the blanket underneath, the liquid dried and became extremely difficult to clean.

Because of their fur, Su Li and his group killed quite a few wolf-like deer. These deer were very fast and also possessed a kind of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

However, Song Mingyu could use her pointer technique to launch a sneak attack from a distance. The pointer technique had a range of about 70 meters, and once it hit, it would disrupt the flow of magical energy within the body. These monsters, who weren't even at the Black Iron level, were instantly rendered useless by Song Mingyu's touch. They stupidly banged their heads against the ground in an attempt to escape, only to knock themselves unconscious, much to Su Li's amusement.

Meanwhile, Su Li and his companions gradually began to explore their surroundings. In a valley between several mountain peaks, the snow was more than a meter deep, and beneath the snow, Su Li found Weasel again.

Along with them, they also found quite a few red plum fruits.

Now, Su Li and her family's lives are perfectly balanced, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, and they're enjoying themselves immensely.

However, good things happen, and bad things happen too.

For example, Su Li and her companions encountered a silver-level monster.

The monster dwells at the bottom of that frozen lake. Its true form is a type of clam.

This monster was not aggressive at all; it only warned Su Li and the others, and then remained silent.

To be on the safe side, Su Li and the others never went near the lake again.

"But I'm relieved. With this monster, there won't be any more silver-level monsters around."

The silver-level monsters in the water and those on land have little conflict of interest, and their strength is not enough to make the silver-level monsters feel threatened.

But soon, Su Li realized something was wrong.

The clouds in the sky are becoming more and more numerous, from a cloudless sky to a few white clouds, and then to large swathes of clouds.

Furthermore, at night, one can occasionally hear the howling of the wind.

All of this indicates that a change in the political landscape is imminent.

Su Li acted decisively, beginning large-scale food gathering and timber stockpiling. In the snowy plains, with the weather changing, his first thought was of a blizzard.

Sure enough, a few days later, strong winds began to blow outside. The elemental field that had been shrouding this land suddenly became active.

As night fell, the moonlight grew brighter and brighter. One night, Su Li went out to use the restroom and looked up to find that there was now two moons in the sky, not just one.

The two moons, one silvery-white and the other bluish-white, emitted a light that made the ice elements on the earth unusually active.

As Su Li stepped outside, red solar-attribute magic ignited on her body to ward off the cold, but under the moonlight, the originally blazing magic weakened.

Su Liming realized that something big was about to happen.

Sure enough, another day passed and the storm arrived.

Su Li held Song Mingyu in her arms as they sat in the wooden house. Outside, the storm howled incessantly, its mournful sound like someone weeping.

Then, with the howling wind and moisture appearing from nowhere, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. The temperature seemed to plummet, constantly dropping, and even during the day, the liquefied carbon dioxide did not re-vaporize.

Zurich knew what this meant: it meant that even during the day, the temperature was below -80 degrees Celsius.

By nightfall, Zuli could no longer take off his clothes to sleep. The blankets, furs, and campfire alone were simply not enough to sustain him.

"Fortunately, we have stored quite a lot of timber... but now I'm a little worried about whether this timber is enough."

Su Li glanced at the charcoal marks drawn on the wall.

There were already four tally marks there, which meant they had been there for 20 days.

"I wonder when Sophia and the others will be able to arrive."

Su Li looked down at Song Mingyu in her arms. She was squinting and staring at a weasel not far away.

Previously, she had recaptured four more ice ferrets and then began conducting some experiments on them.

Now, each of the Ice Weasels has a tumor-like lump on its body. Two of the Ice Weasels are already dead; after being decomposed by the system, they became food reserves for Su Li and his companions.

"Still not successful? To be honest, these two are starting to smell like rotting corpses. I can't understand how they could decompose in this cold weather..."

Su Li started muttering to Song Mingyu.

Song Mingyu snorted softly, "Bear with it, this is the key to our solution to the elemental bacteria."

The biggest problem Su Li and his group are facing right now is elemental erosion and elemental bacteria. As the weather gets colder, these two substances are accumulating on their bodies at a faster rate. Even with the increased resistance from the Winter Feast, they can't stop the progress bar from increasing little by little.

And now they don't have Sofia's fruit tea, so they can't use the fruit tea to cleanse the erosion.

Fortunately, Song Mingyu said her research has made progress and is able to solve this problem.

"What exactly are you doing?" Su Li asked curiously. "I have a feeling that what you're doing is rather evil."

For example, cutting open a weasel's body and burying all sorts of random things inside.

"I had no choice. The experimental conditions were so poor, so I had to keep things simple." Song Mingyu scratched his head.

As they were talking, one of the weasels shuddered, and several ice spikes burst from its body. It died instantly.

Without any mercy, Song Mingyu took the weasel back, cut open the tumor on its body, observed it for a while with her magical power, then grabbed another weasel and began to adjust it.

Su Li squatted beside the fire, waiting for the results. The two weasels were experimented on by Song Mingyu at the same time. If nothing unexpected happened, the two weasels would erupt the elemental bacteria in their bodies one after the other.

However, after waiting all night, the weasel not only didn't die, but became more and more active.

As dawn broke, Song Mingyu suddenly covered her face and burst into laughter. Her manic appearance, combined with her dark circles and disheveled hair, gave her the image of a mad scientist, exuding a captivatingly wicked charm.

"Little Zurich, is it my turn to take the stage?"

Su Li suppressed the urge, saying, "Let's wait a bit longer."

Song Mingyu finally stopped smiling, opened her arms, and declared loudly, "I've found the antidote to the elemental bacteria!"
