Chapter 208 The Edge of the Snow Mountain
Later he felt that the demonic tide might have appeared due to the summons of some force.

Just now, he learned that the monsters appeared after the death of the Dark Demon Tree. He felt that the demon tide might be related to the will of the Dark Demon Tree that was scattered between heaven and earth, and might be going to carry out some mission.

As a result, the demonic tide will continue to run wildly until it is exhausted to death, which is completely inconsistent with the above speculation.

"By the way, has Mayor Liu ever paid attention to the birth of the Demonic Tide?" Bai Ling suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"The birth of the demonic tide?"

Liu Hen searched his mind for memories of the original owner. "It's said that the demonic tide was created out of thin air? However, this mayor has never verified it."

"That's right, the demonic tide does appear out of thin air. Wherever it passes, its companions will be 'thrown away' due to special circumstances. Or, in other words, some demons that can't keep up with the group will fall behind. The demonic tide as a whole won't stop, but some stragglers will stop once they fall too far away from the main group."

Bai Ling said, "That's how the monsters scattered around the world appeared. Some people once speculated that the purpose of the Demonic Tide might be to spread the monsters."

"To spread monsters?" Liu Hen was surprised.

This was completely inconsistent with all his guesses.

"Although it's a little unbelievable, so far, all the information points to this possibility."

Bai Ling said, "Except for special areas, such as Mayor Liu's Travel Town, if the number of monsters in other places decreases to a certain level, a demonic tide will appear. When the demonic tide passes, a large number of monsters will be left behind."

After a pause, she spoke again, "But if the number of monsters in a certain place always remains at a certain density, there will almost never be a demonic tide in that place. I have personally verified this."

"Is there such a thing?"

Liu Hen was even more surprised: "It seems that the appearance of the demonic tide is indeed intended to spread demonic monsters, but what's the point?"

The Snow Girl smiled bitterly: "This question of Mayor Liu is a bit embarrassing for Bai Ling. Bai Ling has asked Lady Snow Girl about this matter before, but Lady Snow Girl doesn't know either."

Liu Hen didn't say anything else.

He inexplicably felt that the most outrageous "truth" Bai Ling told might be the final truth.

"Is the purpose of the Demonic Tide really to spread monsters?"

He couldn't help but assume.

Assuming that the purpose of the Demonic Tide is really to spread monsters, then what is the purpose of doing so?
"It's not like they're trying to pollute the world, is it? But monsters don't seem to be contagious."

Liu Hen thought about the characteristics of monsters: "Monsters will prey on all living things, even demons will be preyed on. This kind of energy body can also eat meat..."

The most amazing thing is that after the monsters prey on a large number of living things, they can grow at an extremely terrifying speed, digesting as much as they eat with almost no waste.

Liu Hen couldn't help but think of Chang Xin.

The non-living war slaves that Chang Xinshefeng sealed seemed to also have the ability to digest things infinitely.

However, Chang Xin's war slaves can only digest magic crystals infinitely, and blood, flesh and other foods should not be able to be digested infinitely.

Of course, he was not sure about this because there was not enough meat for the experiment. Chang Xin probably didn't know it either now. The other party was in a high position now, and given the other party's personality, he would not do such a thing of wasting food.

In addition, Chang Xin's non-living war slaves are not truly able to digest magic crystals infinitely.

Once those war slaves grow to a certain stage and encounter a bottleneck, they will no longer be able to digest the magic crystals.

From this point of view, Chang Xin’s war slaves are no match for the monsters.

Of course, even if it can be digested infinitely, the monster itself is not too scary.

Because except for a very small number of mutated monsters, all normal monsters have no long-range attack capabilities, and they do not prey on each other. Except for a few cases, they almost never devour magic crystals.

Therefore, even though monsters should be able to grow infinitely in theory, monsters that can truly grow to their limits have probably not yet been born.

"Eat all living things..."

Liu Hen frowned slightly: "Could it be that the real purpose of the Demonic Tide is to spread demons and monsters throughout the world, and to let the demons spread throughout the world kill all living things in this world? "What's the point of doing this?"

If the monster is really the product of the fall of the Dark Demon Tree, then the monster's purpose should be related to the will or obsession of the Dark Demon Tree.

But this doesn't make sense, because the Dark Demon Tree has been reincarnated, and the monsters have never completely disappeared during this period.

Thinking about this, they unknowingly arrived at the edge of the snow-capped mountains.

“That’s the spot.”

Bai Ling pointed to a valley ahead. "Our tribe leader has chosen the location for the Snowman Village. It's right there. Mayor Liu, is that okay with it?"

The place she was talking about was very vast. The area of ​​10,000 meters in length and width was almost a flat road, and there were snow-capped peaks only 10,000 meters away.

"of course can."

Liu Hen nodded: "Does the Snowman tribe have any special requirements?"

"Special requirements?" Bai Ling was puzzled.

"For example, the ambient color." Liu Hen said.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "If possible, white would be best, but there are no white stones in the snow-capped mountains in the frame image."

"Is the ice thick enough?" Liu Hen asked.

"Ice?"

Bai Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Our leader proposed building a snowman village so that some of the snowmen who can't adapt to ultra-low temperatures can spend the winter here. Wouldn't building a snowman village with ice make it even colder?"

"of course not."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "It seems the color of the ice is good. Take me to collect ice."

Ice can also be used as a building material, and with the blessing of the source bonfire, those ice blocks will never melt.

The ice I stored was almost used up, so I collected some ice to store.

Bai Ling looked at Liu Hen seriously, making sure that he was not joking, and then said, "If ordinary ice is OK, I can make a lot of ordinary ice, even an iceberg. But if I want thousand-year-old profound ice, or even ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, I'll have to go far away to mine it. But whether it's thousand-year-old profound ice or ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, the quantity won't be too large. It's good enough to collect one or two pieces."

There is a large amount of ten thousand year old black ice in the Snow Girl's Frame Peak, but those ten thousand year old black ices are almost all materials for the Snow Girl's temple, so they cannot be used carelessly.

"Ordinary ice cubes will do." Liu Hen said.

"That's good, let's go down." The Snow Girl pointed to a flat area below.

Liu Hen led everyone to descend the altitude, slowly came to the location pointed by Bai Ling, and landed in the thick snow.

Although this is the edge of the Kontu Snow Mountain, it also belongs to the territory of the Kontu Snow Mountain. The snow does not melt all year round and is very thick.

However, various ice and snow monsters will be born in the snow-capped mountains. After the death of those ice and snow monsters, they will melt into snow water, and the monster origin beads left behind will also be refined by other creatures.

Therefore, these accumulated snow will actually be consumed and it is impossible for them to accumulate infinitely.

"Do we need to clear the snow?" Bai Ling asked.

"No need to bother."

Liu Hen said: "Just make ice cubes directly. This mayor wants to collect a lot of ice cubes, the more the better."

He made no secret of his intention to "line his own pockets."

Bai Ling didn't ask any more questions. After all, for her, creating an iceberg was very simple, especially after entering the frame snow mountain, her power was almost endless.
