Thanks to the innate lack of intelligence in most wild beasts, with low spiritual intelligence, the escape plan for Bei Xue, Lucas, and his sister was not particularly difficult.
Especially in the Demon Realm, where most of the native creatures have already been exterminated, leaving only a few hiding in the dark, slowly waiting to die, the wild beasts seem to have paused their endless killings and entered another special period of development.
After more than four months of travel, Bei Xue also noticed the unusual behavior of the wild beasts.
They seem to be...evolving?
Different wild beast populations began to engage in large-scale battles, and those with only three or four ranks of adults were continuously eliminated. At the same time, special individuals with higher intelligence also appeared among the wild beasts. Although their battles still did not have any military tactics, they indeed had more combat routines.
For example, capturing the king of the thieves, three-way encirclement, and so on.
Perhaps it won't be long before they give birth to a new civilization.
The Demon Realm can then be directly renamed the Wasteland.
—Karolis Snowfield—
The name Karolis is too ancient and has been lost to time. The first appearance of this name is even much earlier than the history of the Demon Realm's separation from the divine realm.
The snow here is perennial and never melts, and under the snow is bottomless solid ice. Even if you dig vertically for hundreds or thousands of meters, you can't see any trace of soil or sand.
Therefore, there are few living beings in the Karolis Snowfield.
Lucas and his group of three were gathered in a wooden house at the foot of the mountain at this time.
There are tens of thousands of such wooden houses, which were originally one of the largest habitats of the Snow Grudge Spirit clan.
Unfortunately, at the moment when the wild beasts came, the Snow Grudge Spirit clan, which was not strong in combat, hardly made any significant resistance, and the entire clan was quietly buried by the wind and snow.
The wild beasts completed their task and could not stand the invasion of the cold, unable to live in the snowfield for a long time, so they only occupied it for less than half a month, and after eating all the edible things, they left the snowfield in groups.
"Should we make a fire?"
"There don't seem to be many wild beasts around."
"If you want to make a fire, just do it."
Lucas nodded, went out of the wooden house, picked up some smashed wooden boards nearby, and tried to light a fire after returning to the house.
He took out the copper pot he carried from the storage ring and boiled the snow water he dug.
It is worth mentioning that most space rings cannot keep fresh, after all, the function of keeping fresh involves the power of time. How can a low-grade ring have the power of time at the same time?
So, the meat food that Bei Xue prepared four months ago has long been consumed.
The reason why they chose to stay and rest at the edge of the snowfield is not only to further plan the route but also to prepare food for the next six months.
The low temperature of the snowfield does not need to consider the problem of preservation too much.
While boiling water, Lucas reached out and rubbed his sister's little face, which was frozen red.
The infants of the Blood Demon clan are born to be more resistant, otherwise, it would not be possible to live well in such an environment where resources are extremely scarce.
However, even with a good physique, when it comes to the snowfield, Miaoluo, who is only three years old, has fallen into a state of confusion. There is no life danger, but there may be a risk of freezing the brain.
After the water boiled, Lucas took out a cup, poured a cup and placed it on the wooden table beside Bei Xue, and then turned to tidy up the bed.
Bei Xue is still studying the book "Demon Traces Theory"
This is the work of the great traveler Finn in his early years. At that time, he was keen on recording all unfamiliar things. Although there is not much description of the snowfield, there are indeed some practical information.
"In the middle of the five great mountains, at the time of the alternation of the sun and the moon, a mirage beast will appear, and it will show the mirage of a triangular stele at the moment of the night."
"That is the answer to the first test."
"On the tenth morning when the mirage appears, the second of the five great mountains will melt, and a road with countless branches will appear."
"Remember, before stepping into that road, you must plan the correct route according to the instructions given by the mirage, otherwise, a wrong step will lead to the end of the demon's life."
"After reaching the end, all five great mountains will melt. The first and third mountains contain the guardians of the triangular stele. The third mountain is the corpse of a deity, and the fourth mountain is the real stele."
"Touch the stele, and you can enter the battlefield of all races."
"Later generations should remember that the battlefield of all races has no return, if you pass through the stele, you can only pray for good luck to find the way to the divine realm, and then return to your hometown through the divine realm channel..."
The above is all the description of the Karolis Snowfield in the Demon Traces Theory that Bei Xue sorted out.
She also thought about whether others have tried the method described in the book.
After all, the place where this book is located is Finn's Memorial Hall. Even she can sort out this information, and there is no reason why the scholars of the demon clan can't understand it.
But after just entangling for a moment, Bei Xue shook her head.
Those scholars may not know this method.
It is even possible that many demon clan strong people have tried it in person.
Otherwise, why has the Karolis Snowfield never been explored? It is very likely that the demon clan's top knows this secret and does not allow others to explore the snowfield.
But the strong people who go to the [Battlefield of All Races] have no return, and the Demon Realm already has a stable and safe passage to the upper realm, so this secret has been slowly forgotten.
Bei Xue picked up the glass of water on the table.
Just a short while, the hot water in the glass has turned into transparent ice again.
"..."
After tidying up the bed, Lucas came over and changed a glass for her.
The boiling water that was served became hot water in Bei Xue's hand.
A sip, the whole body is comfortable, the temperature is just right.
Bei Xue exhaled a white mist, wrapped in clothes and lay on the bed that Lucas had made.
She waved to Lucas, and then the three people got into the same quilt.
The weather is too cold, and there is hope again, so Bei Xue naturally doesn't need to vent the suppressed negative emotions by Lucas.
She just wants to use Lucas's body temperature to make this sleep more comfortable.
...
After three months of rest, life seems to have briefly ushered in peace.
Bei Xue is like a hunter who hunts at sunrise and returns at sunset, and Lucas plays the role of a wife, managing the temporary home in an orderly manner.
It seems that it is also good to live like this.
But judging from the fewer and fewer prey that Bei Xue brought home, this is obviously not realistic.
The development of the wild beasts is changing every day.
Even the solitary wild beasts near the snowfield, who are far away from the disputes, have at least the strength of the seventh rank.
The weak wild beasts have completely disappeared, and they seem to have temporarily stopped reproducing. New wild beasts no longer appear, and the old wild beasts begin to fight continuously, trying to determine the real "king."
Leaving this world is imminent, and it can't be delayed any longer.
On a morning without wind and snow, the group of three finally set out on their journey again.
