Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 144 Frame Snow Mountain, Snow Girl

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

Strong winds mixed with blizzards ravaged the entire dark world.

In the distance, there are mountains and peaks one after another, all covered with snow.

Liu Hen stood in the snow and looked around blankly, but there was no sign of Chang Xin and others.

The howling blizzard naturally subsided when it approached within a hundred meters, leaving only heavy snow falling.

Even the heavy snow quickly melted into light rain when it came within three meters of him, turning into a force that had no harm at all.

"Where has this fog of time and space brought me? Why am I not with the others?"

He sensed the village and found that almost all the combat members had disappeared, but most of the ordinary villagers and those responsible for internal work were still there.

Hong Ming, Zong Ni and others who were awakened had already left the building and were looking at the white outskirts of the village with a confused look on their faces.

"Chang Xin and other combat members were taken away by the mist of time and space. I was also taken to an unfamiliar place. You should stay inside the building for now and don't wander around."

His voice reached the interior of the village: "At present, only by carrying the entire village with you can it be considered a complete rule domain. In this state, I cannot enter the interior of the village. Zong Ni and Hong Ming, you are responsible for maintaining order. Anyone who dares to disrupt at this time will be killed without mercy."

Everyone in the village who heard this felt a tightness in their hearts.

"Yes." Zong Ni answered quickly.

Hong Ming also said immediately: "Don't worry, whoever dares to cause trouble will be made to suffer a fate worse than death. But are you okay now? What's the situation outside? When can we get out?"

He didn't want to be trapped in this small village forever.

"We don't know yet whether the fog of time and space has passed. Wait until I'm sure it's safe before you come out."

Liu Hen looked around, then walked towards a higher place, ready to climb up and look far into the distance.

The snow was so thick that when he stepped on it, he sank to his waist and it was obvious that he had not reached the bottom.

Judging from the surrounding situation, there are no living creatures here at all, and it is unknown whether there are any human forces nearby.

"My Lord, I sense the silver mine."

Suddenly, the voice of the small black stone that was parasitic on his body was heard.

Liu Hen's mind moved: "Where is it?"

'On that mountain in the distance.'

Because he was worried that the fog of time and space would appear again, Xiao Heishi did not dare to show up. He controlled a stone to float up and pointed at the mountain in the distance.

It was the highest mountain nearby, but the mountain was steep and the top was probably very narrow, not suitable for placing a village.

There was darkness all around the mountain. The reason why we could see the mountain from here was either because the mountain was too high or there was something glowing on it.

Because the other nearby peaks are not so eye-catching.

"Let's go over and take a look first."

Liu Hen sped up.

Perhaps it's because the mountain is covered with snow, and the light from unknown sources is reflected back and forth, making the visibility slightly higher than other places, so the mountain can be seen from a long distance.

But he walked for more than an hour, one step deep and one step shallow, and still didn't get close to the mountain.

Because the snow was too thick, the effects of the Earth Suit were blocked, and he could not accumulate the power of the earth and could not move quickly. He could only use this clumsy method to slowly travel.

Finally, after about half an hour, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It seemed like we walked for a long time, but because the snow was so thick, we only walked about ten kilometers.

"Sir, there are silver mines on the other side."

Little Black Stone's voice rang out again, and a stone flew up from the thick snow, pointing to a much lower mountain in the distance.

Liu Hen glanced at the mountain farther away, then looked at the mountain in front of him. After thinking about it, he decided to leave.

Because he felt that there might be some danger on the mountain, and it was definitely abnormal to be able to see the top of the mountain from a long distance.

As for the possibility of treasure?
He wasn't really tempted, and it was better to avoid taking risks if possible.

Just as he was about to take a detour, he suddenly stopped.

'There's someone here?'

About a hundred meters away from here, in a cave almost completely covered by thick snow, five figures slowly walked out.

The five figures were all human-shaped, and Xiao Heishi did not sense any demonic aura, so they must be humans without a doubt.

But what was strange was that the five of them all had white hair, and they seemed to have fluffy white hair on their bodies. It was not known whether they grew it naturally or it was some kind of disguise.

"Huh? Why did the blizzard stop?"

"Wow, so warm, so comfortable..."

"Snow Maiden, above..."

The five people were stunned, as if they had never felt such a warm environment.

But the next moment they immediately became alert, realizing that something was wrong.

Although it was still late at night, they keenly discovered that the visibility here was far better than other places.

They even vaguely saw a figure a hundred meters away.

"Is that... a human over there?"

"His clothes are other colors..."

"It's an outsider!"

"Quickly notify Lady Snow Girl..." The five people's faces changed drastically. Two of them quickly turned around and went back into the cave, leaving the other three to vigilantly look at the figure a hundred meters away.

In fact, if they were just outsiders, they wouldn't be so nervous. With the protection of the Snow Girl, they are not afraid of ordinary monsters, let alone humans.

However, the current situation is very strange. The originally violent snowstorm has subsided, and even the temperature here has risen abnormally.

This is definitely not right.

"Snow Woman? Demon or Psychic?"

Liu Hen didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and left.

But at this moment, the snowstorm that had originally subsided appeared again, and even the snow on the ground began to float.

"Sir, something is approaching..."

Little Black Stone's doubtful voice echoed in his mind: "It should be a spirit, but strangely, there is no demonic aura."

"Same as you?" Liu Hen's heart moved.

The small black stone is essentially a demon, but it does not have the aura of a demon, and is not afraid of the evil-repelling properties of the bonfire. This is very strange.

At this moment, a large number of snowflakes flew into the air and quickly condensed into a woman.

The woman had a slim figure, a curvy figure, snow-white hair like a waterfall, and was wearing a snow-white long dress. Her skin was also fair and delicate, and she was fundamentally different from humans.

With the appearance of this woman, the temperature inside Liu Hen's rule domain actually dropped a lot. The flying snowflakes swept fifty meters away, confronting his rule domain.

At the same time, inside the Journey Village, the fuel for the bonfire began to be consumed rapidly, at a rate even faster than the rate of fighting against the demonic aura.

"A rule-based superpower? I don't remember such a person existing in the Snow Mountain."

The woman made of snow spoke, her voice was ethereal and unexpectedly beautiful, like the sound of nature.

Liu Hen was alert in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "I was brought here by the fog of time and space and mistakenly entered your territory. Please forgive me."

The other party was not frightened by his rule field, and seemed to have his own rule field as well, which must be extraordinary.

"I see."

The woman, made entirely of snow, nodded in understanding. "I'm the Snow Girl. You can just call me Snow Girl. I don't know your name, though."

"I am Liu Hen, the village chief of Lutu Village."

After Liu Hen finished introducing himself, he saw that the other party didn't seem to be hostile, so he asked curiously, "Excuse me, Ms. Snow Girl, are you human or..."

At the cave entrance a hundred meters away, the Snow Girl smiled faintly: "You are not the first person to have a misunderstanding. I am the mountain god of the Frame Snow Mountain. I am neither human nor demon."

"Mountain God?!"

Liu Hen was shocked: "A god-like creature?!"

"A god-like creature?"

A hundred meters away, the Snow Girl smiled and shook her head: "In essence, I am not a living being, but merely a manifestation of a law. I am very different from the god-like creature that Village Chief Liu mentioned."

Rules manifested?

Liu Hen was even more surprised.

"Since Village Chief Liu has no ill intentions, please do as you please."

Suddenly, the Snow Girl spoke again: "As long as it's not near the Frame Peak, you can choose any other area. I will continue to rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly collapsed and turned into snowflakes falling down again.

The wind and snow that had originally been fighting against Liu Hen's rule domain suddenly subsided, and everything that had happened before seemed like an illusion.

"This Snow Girl is actually the manifestation of the law. In essence, she should be considered a god, right?"

Liu Hen was secretly surprised and did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately strode towards the mountain where Xiao Heishi sensed that there was also a silver mine.

Although he is a rule-based supernatural being and is like a god in the eyes of the barbarians, he is not a true god after all.

He is also very self-aware and knows his own situation. At least for now, it is impossible for him to fight against this special existence that manifests the rules.

"Sir, that Snow Woman has sensed my presence."

Xiao Heishi's voice echoed in Liu Hen's mind: "She asked me to come visit her when I have time."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows and suddenly had an absurd guess that the reason why the snow girl was so polite to him might be because of the little black stone.

The reason for this speculation is that he always suspected that the Stone of Wishes fused with the small black stone was the Yin Stone, a rule-based treasure.

In other words, in essence, the Little Black Stone and the Snow Girl should be existences of the same level, but the Little Black Stone does not seem to have such powerful power.

"Let's leave her alone and get out of here first."

Liu Hen reminded Xiao Heishi not to be fooled, and then continued on his way.

Finally, after walking more than 5,000 meters in one breath, he came to the place where Xiao Heishi sensed the silver mine. Without saying a word, he took out the pickaxe and started collecting.

Snow +1

With one pickaxe, a large piece of snow in front of him disappeared and was collected into the space backpack.

"You can actually harvest snow?"

Liu Hen was delighted and immediately swung the Pickaxe again.

He saw the snow in front of him disappear quickly, but when he dug down five meters in one breath, he saw the ground.

"Isn't the snow too thick? That's right, this is already a snowy mountain, not just a newly fallen snow."

He suddenly realized something and continued to swing the pickaxe to dig deeper.
