Living in the realm of polar night, there is no distinction between night and day, so here we cannot work at sunrise and rest at sunset like people in other parts of the world.

The wind and snow had subsided at this time, but the sky was still gloomy, and the sun was hiding in a corner, unwilling to let its light shine on this land.

Cheng Fan looked at the compass tied with a red rope at his wrist. Although at a glance now, the earth was silvery white and it was difficult to tell the direction with the naked eye, the compass still honestly divided north and south for Cheng Fan.

Continuing to travel north, the snowy fields are extremely quiet. Except for the whistling wind and the occasional rustling of loose snow somewhere, there is no other noise between heaven and earth.

Yesterday's snowstorm added another layer of snow to the ground. The new snow was not solid. When one stepped on it, there was a hole in the snow. Cheng Fan felt that walking here felt like he was walking on a big muddy ground.

He plays the game of pulling out radishes, except that the "mud" where the "radish" grows is replaced by a snowy wasteland, and the "radish" is his two legs that are constantly stepped down and then pulled up again.

It is very dangerous to walk through the mountains with fresh snow.

The new snow will cover the ground, and it will also cover up pits, cracks and other traps that are usually obvious on the ground.

Some places that may look solid and have no problem stepping on them may turn out to be deep ice ravines and crevices.

In this vast sea of ​​snow, walking alone, if you accidentally fall into a crevice in the ice, it is not a very fun or interesting thing. If you cannot climb out in time, you will suffer frostbite in the slightest, and may be killed in the worst case.

Moreover, heavy snow is accumulated on the mountain and is not stable. If there is a slight vibration, an avalanche may occur.

Sitting at home, holding a cup of hot tea, and watching the avalanche scene through the screen seems... not bad, but encountering it in person in nature is an extremely fatal experience.

The ice and snow slid down the hillside. The scene was like an ancient battlefield, with thousands of white horses galloping in a torrent, rushing down the mountain together. The impact force they carried seemed to destroy everything, and it was enough to seriously injure people to death in an instant.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape the impact of an avalanche, after the avalanche, you will be covered by a thick layer of snow and cut off from the air. It will not be easy to dig out alive.

Cheng Fan walked in the snow, leaving a long series of deep footprints behind him. He held a wooden stick in his paws. Every time he took a step, he would use the wooden stick to dig into the snow in front of him to check if there were any

Ice crevices and holes.

The snow here is very deep. It has only been less than half a month. The thickness of the snow here is already higher than human height. However, the upper layer of snow compacts the lower layer of snow. Walking on it feels like walking on the ground.

No problem.

There are fewer and fewer animals moving in the snow, and the rivers between the mountains and rivers are blocked by ice. Sometimes, you can't even tell that there is a river there, and it seems to have merged with the snow-white mountains and rivers.

But under this thick layer of white snow and ice, there are still many living creatures moving around. Although the river is covered with ice and snow, there is not much cold under the river. These cold-resistant fish still don’t know that the harsh winter outside has arrived, so they are still there.

The activity in your own world is endless.

"thump"

In this cold, windy and snowy day, there was a sound of falling into the water. If someone were here, they would definitely follow the sound and at the same time think to themselves, "Who is this guy who is not afraid of death and dares to jump into the river in such weather?"

The image of swimming in the glacier, just thinking about it in your mind, can make people feel chills running down their spines, let alone someone actually jumping in to swim.

In frozen rivers, the entire river surface is almost completely covered by ice and snow, but the thickness of the ice layer is not the same. In most places, the ice layer is very thick, even if a car drives across the river, it will not be affected. In some places, the ice layer is

It looks thick but is actually thin. Once you step on it, the ice will break and you will suddenly fall into the glacier.

Those areas with thin ice are natural traps on frozen rivers. If a person accidentally falls into a glacier lake and fails to get up in time, his body temperature will drop and he will die soon after.

This time it was not some naughty child who claimed to be bold and young who fell into the river, but a little black monster who took the initiative to break the weak ice and jumped into the river.

Outside the river, there is ice and snow, the temperature goes below zero, and the river surface freezes. But inside and outside the river are two completely different worlds. The water in the river is flowing, and the water temperature is much warmer and more comfortable than outside the river.

In physics, water will condense into ice when it reaches the freezing point. The temperature of ice is at or below the freezing point. However, the temperature of naturally occurring liquid water is almost impossible to reach below the freezing point. Instead, the cold ice on the river surface becomes the warm clothing of the river.

, cover it and keep it warm.

As a result, the outside of the river was covered with ice and snow, and it was horribly cold, while the water inside the river was warm, and many fish were still in hibernation and were still looking for food.

Cheng Fan jumped into the river from the broken ice hole, and instantly felt that the surrounding temperature had increased by dozens of degrees, as if a person who had just been blowing wind in the polar regions had arrived near the equator in the blink of an eye.

He swam in the river happily. The temperature in the river could not be said to be very high, but compared to the outside world, it was as warm as spring.

He jumped into the river not just for fun, but to look for food. This glacier, which is scary to ordinary people, is his best source of food.

There are a lot of fish moving in the river, but it's just that it's freezing cold. These fish are in the relatively middle and lower water layers, where the temperature is a bit warmer than the water layer near the river surface. It's just because it's dark outside and there are

It's covered in ice and snow, making it pitch dark.

In the dark river water, Cheng Fan's eyes were like two ice-blue gems, but these gems did not glow and would not really shine in the dark night.

Cheng Fan swam freely, looking around for prey. When he saw a large fish swimming in front of him, he dived hard, swung his tail vigorously, accelerated his body, caught the fish in one mouthful, and devoured it in two mouthfuls.

He had already swallowed the fish into his belly.

After Cheng Fan finished eating the fish, he turned over skillfully in the water and continued to explore the bottom of the river. This series of movements was so smooth that he looked more like a creature living in the water than the fish in the river.

Speaking of which, his excellent water skills were largely due to the long journey in the sea for more than two months.

After diving to the bottom of the river, the environment became a bit bleaker, but Cheng Fan saw that there were more bottom fish living here, and there were even a few larger fish that looked like sturgeons that were never far away.

Traveled everywhere.

Maybe they are not similar in appearance, they are a certain kind of sturgeon. After all, this is in the Kolyma River Basin, so it is not incomprehensible that such an ancient fish like sturgeon appears.

However, whether it is a sturgeon or not, Cheng Fan doesn't recognize it anyway. In his eyes, they are all a group of crunchy, fishy, ​​high-protein foods that provide energy for life activities.

Looking around for targets, Cheng Fan spotted a sturgeon that was over one meter tall, and followed it quietly. The sturgeon seemed to have noticed him, and with a swing of its strong tail, it jumped out like an arrow.

, without giving Cheng Fan a chance, he disappeared from Cheng Fan's eyes in just a few seconds.

Cheng Fan was stunned for a moment. This guy swam much faster than him. He shook his head and chose his target again. This time he chose a tall whitefish. This guy was stupid and not as good as that sturgeon.

Fortunately, he ran so swiftly that he was caught up by Cheng Fan, who used his claws as a harpoon to plunge it directly into the water, and then started to eat it in the water.
