Chaos, and no one knows how long it has been.
In this world, the laws are chaotic and turbid. There is no distinction between the four seasons, the sun and the moon are unclear, and all the changes of the sun and the moon, the cycle of the four seasons, etc. that ordinary people are accustomed to are vague and unpredictable here.
As for the Yakshas or Rakshasas, the IQ of the two ethnic groups is just like this.
Their level of civilization is slightly higher than that of the Yakshas. At least they have learned to raise little people as slaves. The little people take care of everything for them, so at least they don't have to worry about food and drink.
As for the Rakshasa clan, they are just wild beasts, bandits, and a group of locusts that eat wherever they go.
civilization?
Can they fly faster? Can they have sharper claws? Can they have two babies per litter?
cannot……
Civilization is shit.
Therefore, neither Yaksha nor Rakshasa can explain the long nights in the cold season.
In short, every once in a while, there may be hundreds of sunrises and sunsets, or there may be thousands or tens of thousands of sunrises and sunsets - well, this number is also the "impression" that Lu Yi got directly from their heads. These guys are good at counting, and the smartest group of old guys can probably count to about thirty or fifty!
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... That was the conclusion Lu Yi came to after flipping through their memories, comparing the fragments of memory in their minds frame by frame, and combining them with their ages.
Of course, when it comes to their age, this is also a confusing matter.
In this world, the time when the sun rises every day varies. The longest day can be ten or even twenty times longer than the shortest day... You cannot calculate how long you have lived based on the time the sun stays in the sky.
In short, Lu Yi was finally able to extract some useful things from the memories of these confused and muddled Yakshas and Rakshasas.
Every once in a while, the world would change drastically. On the ground, there would be a terrifying white mist rushing straight into the sky, transforming into "cold wheels" of varying sizes hanging high in the sky, releasing a terrifying cold force that froze everything on the ground.
Based on the size of the cold wheel, we can roughly infer the length of this long night in the cold season.
If the cold wheel is only the size of a thumb, then the long night of the cold season will last about "one or two months of Liang Yi day standard time"; if the cold wheel is the size of a sea bowl, then the duration will increase to about "two or three years of Liang Yi day standard time".
And now the cold wheel hanging high above their heads completely covered half of the sky, like the top of a big tent, almost pressing down on everyone's heads - according to the longest-lived old man of the Yaksha clan, this was the largest cold wheel he had ever seen in his life.
This time, the long night of the cold season will probably last for more than "ten years of Liangyi day standard time"...!
From high in the sky, tiny pieces of ice kept falling with a clinking sound, and soon they piled up on the ground in a layer two or three inches thick. The water vapor in the air turned into ice and fell, and the air became extremely dry and hard. Every time I breathed, it felt like a small knife was scratching my nostrils.
Outside the city wall, the originally thick fog turned into ice crystals as the temperature dropped rapidly, and fell to the ground with a bang. The view suddenly became much wider. Standing on the city wall that was more than a hundred feet high, one could see dozens of miles unobstructed.
In this piece of world, the natural scenery of the wilderness is right before your eyes.
The wasteland where everyone landed was mainly plains, interspersed with some small hills with extremely gentle slopes and lines. However, in some places, the bottom layer may have moved rapidly and violently in a small area, and between the plains and hills, a mountain peak of about a thousand feet high would suddenly rise!
These peaks stood alone, like flat-topped bamboo shoots sticking out of the ground. There were cliffs all around, vertical up and down at 90 degrees, making it extremely difficult for normal creatures to climb.
Between these plains and hills, there are small rivers and lakes, and the water system is quite developed.
Under the illumination of the cold wheel, these water systems have completely frozen. On the surface of the several small rivers closest , you can see local creatures similar to fish in the river just jumping out, and then being frozen into ice in an extremely embarrassing way.
Half of its body was in the water, and the other half had turned into sparkling ice embedded in the surface of the river's ice, which looked quite funny.
But because the temperature dropped too quickly, these fish-like creatures were in a state of "quick freezing". Although their bodies were frozen, a trace of vitality in their bodies was still tenacious. Even from a few miles away, Lu Yu could sense that these creatures were still alive. As long as the temperature rises and their bodies thaw, they should be able to come back to life!
On these plains and hills, there is light grass that is only a few inches tall and black and red in color.
These shallow grasses are like hair, extremely dense, and even have a thick and slimy feeling, just like moss, which makes people feel that this thing is rich in nutrients and can definitely "nourish people".
Lu Yi thought of the elk hunted by the little men. These deer might have fed on this kind of shallow grass that looked plump and nutritious?
Above this shallow grass are layers of taller grass, shrubs and trees.
Those long grasses were one or two feet long, and each clump of long grass grew together. The largest clump of long grass, as far as Lu Yi could see, was probably only about an acre in radius, and each clump of long grass was more than ten miles apart .
These long grasses have different shapes, the shapes of the grass stems and leaves are different, and the edges of the grass leaves are also different, some are smooth and some are serrated. Moreover, the flowers and fruits they produce are also different. In the cold night, these long grasses, flowers, and fruits shine with various colors, and they are clearly the existence of "spiritual materials".
As for the shrubs, they were sparse, with two in the east and three in the west, very dispersed. Their heights ranged from two or three feet to four or five feet. They also had various strange shapes, shining with various colors of light. They were all "spiritual materials".
As for tall trees in the conventional sense, Lu Yi only saw a dozen of them within a radius of dozens of miles.
These trees were scattered very sparsely, with at least three to five miles between any two trees. The shortest one was about twenty feet high, and the tallest one was more than a mile high.
As for the appearance of these trees, Lu Yi thought that most of them were close relatives of pine trees, maple trees, banyan trees, poplar trees, etc. Especially the two largest trees, which were more than a mile high, with canopies stretching for three to five miles, shaped like banyan trees, with thousands of aerial roots hanging down, and dozens of large and small insect nests like beehives hidden between their long roots.
The long night of the cold season suddenly came, and all kinds of insects, dotted with stars, like various insects made of gems, flew back to their nests in a hurry with their butts full of flashes, as if their butts were on fire.
Each of those insects was crystal clear and extremely beautiful. Some were only the size of a green bean, while others were the size of a palm. But no matter how big or small, Lu Yi saw the poison sac structure that stored venom on these insects. In the translucent poison sac, various colors of sticky venom could be seen gently rolling as they flew.
There were some insects that were tiny in size and had the least resistance. As they were flying, they were frozen into ice by the cold air not far from their own nests and dived headfirst into the ground.
Fortunately, because of their small size, they freeze very quickly, which also belongs to the category of "quick freezing". In their small bodies, there is still a trace of weak vitality that stubbornly remains... If the long night of this cold season does not last too long, these unfortunate frozen insects should still have a chance to revive.
Ice chips kept falling from the sky, evenly spreading over the ground.
Soon, whether it was the towering mountains that were thousands of feet high and extremely abrupt, or the plains, hills, or even the shallow grass, long grass, shrubs, and trees, they were all evenly covered with a layer of blue and white ice crystals.
The world became freezing cold. Lu Yi exhaled heavily. As soon as the hot air came out, wisps of white air froze into tiny ice crystals, which fell to the ground with a rustling sound.
Before, the Yaksha, whose stomach was cut open by Lu Yi to analyze the secrets of his body tissue, came up trembling. It should be because they were born in this world and were bound by the laws of heaven and earth. This Yaksha, whose physical strength was comparable to that of a celestial general, had his eyes rolled back from the cold and his body was hunched. When he walked, he looked like an old dog with all its hair lost, wandering in the snow.
He came close to Lu Yu and said tremblingly: "Oh my God, half of the tribe is still left behind... We must go back quickly and cooperate with them to go to the territories of the neighboring tribes to grab more food. Otherwise, this cold wheel is so huge, I am afraid that the food in the tribe will not be enough."
Not enough food?
Go rob the neighbor next door?
Well, such cruel words, very 'Yaksha'.
Lu Yi patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to fight. Take a few of your tribesmen and go and invite them to come over... As long as they convert to Buddhism, I will provide you with food to survive the winter!"
No matter how much you eat, have you ever heard of "cultivation" and "fasting"?
Lu Yi laughed secretly in his heart.
Moreover, even if we don't use such laws to fool these Yakshas, ​​the huge resources brought by the pioneering team alone are enough for tens of millions of people to use for more than one year in the local time of the Supreme Primordial Heaven. In addition, there are trees derived from divine seeds to transform the local climate. This piece of land can be opened up and turned into fertile fields with magic. Combined with the good seeds specially "developed" by the Supreme Primordial Heaven Court for the development, the grain yield per mu is amazing, and it can support even more times the population.
Just as Lu Yi was instructing the Yaksha on what to do, from far outside the city, the sound of frozen shallow grass being crushed could be heard.
Each strand of shallow grass was frozen like crystal sculptures, dry and brittle, hard and crunchy. If stepped on violently, the shallow grass would break with the sound of crushing jade.
When Lu Yi looked carefully, he saw more than a hundred of the Yaksha tribe's "old, weak, women and children" running wildly in front, gasping for breath, and behind them, there were four or five hundred Yakshas waving various crude weapons, screaming and chasing after them.
The Yaksha beside Lu Yi suddenly roared in exasperation: "That's one of our tribesmen! Damn Broken Tooth, he dared to attack our tribesmen while we were not in the tribe!"
