Chapter 107. Ragnarök (6) The World of Ice and Snow in Midgard

     “Add 1 free point to the physical attribute.” In the snow pit, Ye Mo first added a point to herself, and then sprinkled the golden wound powder on the body that was hit, waiting for the wound to heal.

     After a while, her hair and clothes were all covered with white snow. If it was a little later, she might be covered by snow.

     This world is too cold, minus 40 or 50 degrees, and a breath of hot air can instantly turn into ice. It is hard to imagine how ordinary humans in this world survive in this ice and snow.

     When Ye Mo jumped out of the snow hole, her body was immediately hit by a strong wind, and her hair was blown like a fool. She hurriedly tied it up tightly with a rubber band.

     HawkEye had been waiting impatiently, floating from the center of her eyebrows to the palm of her hand, and then from the palm of her hand back to the center of her eyebrows. From its field of vision, it can be seen that there is no sunlight in Midgard, and there seems to be only white between the sky and the earth, as if staying in a large system white space.

     Hawkeye has been in Valhalla in Asgard since it woke up, and has never left. It now has a heart that yearns for freedom. This snow-white world has endless attraction for it.

     “Let’s go!”

     The white world does not need to distinguish between east, south, west and north. Ye Mo picked a direction to move forward with Hawkeye’s direction. Hawkeye’s eyes looked very calm, and excitement and joy were hidden behind the calmness.

…

     In the ice and snow, there is no shortage of water. It is enough to drink for hundreds of years, provided that the world can exist for so long.

     However, there are few creatures in Midgard, including humans, animals, monsters, plants, etc. It can be compared to a desert of ice and snow. If it were not for Hawkeye, it would not be so easy to find food.

     The plants and animals that can still survive in this world are not simple, and they are basically mutated. But for Ye Mo, she has fought against giants, and killing monsters is very simple. The survivor system will not count these monsters in the task bar.

     When killing the first monster sheep, Ye Mo’s eyes seemed to be shining, and tears almost flowed out of her mouth.

     But it is very regrettable that there is no environment, no salt, no seasoning, and no craftsmanship. She never thought that the copy world would need these things. The high-temperature drying equipment was already prepared in Asgard.

     Ye Mo touched her full stomach. The elixir was still very effective. Feeling regretful, she could only regretfully dig out the beast core of the monster sheep and put it back into the vacuum space.

     When the monster leopard, monster bear, and monster rabbit are caught again, remove the internal organs, head, and hoof, and then take out the high-temperature drying equipment to make it into jerky and store it.

     Ye Mo had tasted dried beef jerky. Not to mention the chewiness, the smell of wild animals was particularly strong, even worse than the military rations of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, there is a comparison between tragedies. When she saw Hawkeye accidentally showing a little greed at a certain moment, she stopped sighing. 

     Perhaps people in this world have different ways of eating. At least they should be able to identify plants, right?

     Ye Mo had met a group of people from Midgard hunting, middle-aged men and women. She calculated the height of this Midgard person, which was between 2.5 meters and 3.5 meters, and the tallest was even 4 meters. They were all people who needed to be looked up to.

     She, who was more than 1.7 meters tall, did not appear in front of them. She still had prey to hunt.

…

     The night in Midgard world came very suddenly, just like someone pressed a switch. There was no sun rising or setting. The day turned into night in a second. Because there was no moonlight, the world turned from white to black.

     The snow continued to fall, the wind continued to blow, and the temperature was minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius as in the daytime. Ye Mo’s night vision was not affected, but the night vision of Hawkeye was obviously reduced by thousands of miles.

     And there were more monsters appearing at night. They might be used to such a night attack life. It’s just that the ice and snow in Midgard have been falling for three years. The human population has declined rapidly and those who are still alive will not be attacked by her.

     Tonight, they were unfortunate to meet Ye Mo alone.

     She thought they were prey, but they turned out to be hunters. The monsters soon became the meat reserves in Ye Mo’s space.

     On the first day in Midgard, Ye Mo didn’t see a leaf of the world tree, but there were piles of meat. It would take seven or eight months. She thought she could complete the task in seven or eight months, right?

     On the second day, it took only a moment for darkness to turn into day.

     Ye Mo didn’t plan to hunt deliberately today. To put it more hypocritically, she wanted to leave some life for the people in this world. She set her target underground, breaking the ice to catch fish was also a good idea.

     Boom boom——

     The iron hammer caused an avalanche, which was a bit embarrassing.

     HawkEye laughed at her without hesitation. It was just one eye, and it was rare for it to have so many rich expressions.

     Ye Mo ran like lightning and quickly avoided the avalanche area. When she was preparing for the next location as if nothing had happened, HawkEye suddenly scanned the place 20,000 miles away from her right, and six mountain giants appeared running.

     It’s not the injured mountain giants, but the lively mountain giants. These mountain giants are obviously huge and heavy, but they have a 20 agility attribute when running in the snow.

     If the snow affects them, it may be 50 attributes. The mountains are where they live.

     But two thousand miles away from the mountain giants, there is a human gathering place that is not too big or too small. They no longer live in stone houses or wooden houses, but in cold snow houses. In this world, the snow seems to never melt.

     Ye Mo put the hammer back into the space, let Hawkeye hide in her palm, and then started the extreme speed parkour in the ice and snow world.

     As a survivor who may have to wander in the world, no matter how terrible the giants are, they must be dealt with. It is not possible to just hope that the giants are seriously injured,  we need to be prepared to take it on, even if it’s still strong.

     Of the nine worlds of the world tree, the five worlds under Midgard, the closest one is the Jotunheim world, which is where the mountain giants live. According to legend, the human world and the Jotunheim world are separated by an iron forest.

     Therefore, the appearance of mountain giants in Midgard should not be a coincidence.

……

     While running at top speed, Ye Mo was always paying attention to the Snow House Tribe.

     The people in Midgard were much smarter than she thought. When the mountain giant was thousands of miles away from them, they had received the signal, and the tribe sounded a very long warning horn.

     People’s faces showed fear, panic and anger, but they were not panicked. They rushed to the snow house in an orderly manner, not to hide, but to pack their belongings. They were skilled, fast, and coordinated, and they finished the sorting quickly.

     The food in this world was already declining. They mainly took away food and animal skins to keep warm.

     In less than 10 minutes, the people in the gathering area had begun to flee. Most of them walked, and very few raised cattle and sheep. The gathering area could not avoid losing some people with limited mobility.

     But the intelligence of the mountain giants was also normal. Ye Mo saw that they actually chose three directions to encircle the Snow House Tribe. It seemed that they also had people here in advance.

     Unfortunately, the people of the Snow House Tribe fled in one of the directions that the mountain giants encircled.

     Soon, two mountain giants entered the sight of the Snow House Tribe. This scene was a bit similar to the Ultraman series in the 1980s and 1990s. People or cars were like toys in the eyes of the giants, and they could be trampled to death if they were not careful.

     But the problem is that they all have the character “人” in their names. Apart from their size, they look like the same race killing each other.

…

     Since they can’t escape, the people of Midgard can only unite and fight.

     The warriors in the tribe stood up one after another. They had swords, spears, shields, hammers and other weapons in their hands, while other warriors’ weapons were even made of hard wood, especially arrows.

     Ye Mo saw from this that the Midgard people were short of supplies. They couldn’t even provide basic weapons.

     When fighting against giants, long-range attacks are less risky than close attacks. Arrows are definitely the most important attacking weapon. The leader called out something that might be archery, and the archers of the Snow House Tribe began to shoot.

     When it comes to resisting thousands of arrows, the mountain giant is much more at ease compared to Mi Wenjing before. It’s not because he is faster, but because his skin is thicker. These arrows may not be as effective as rose thorns on him.

     Humans also know the weakness of mouth and eyes. But, the giants can dodge, and their accuracy is really not very good.

     Then, Ye Mo discovered something unexpected. Their long-range weapons are not just bows and arrows.

     Besides the swordsmen, archers, and other warriors, many people in this war were using offensive magic items.

     There were flames, sinkholes, freezing, weight increase, and reinforcement… these attack spells could be used by ordinary people as long as they had signed a scroll agreement with the sorcerers.

     Ye Mo narrowed her eyes slightly, adjusted the vision of the hawkeye, and found that the words on these magic items were of the same type as Odin’s Eternal Spear, and were the runes created by Odin.

     Unlike bows and arrows, the attacks of these magic items are almost indiscriminate. They can’t seriously injure the mountain giant, but they can still cause them a lot of disturbance, thereby reducing their speed.

     Ye Mo knew that normally this should save a lot of people, but if the mountain giants outflanked them, they didn’t know how many people would die. There was still a thousand miles to go, so she sped up a little bit.

…

     When the two mountain giants were getting closer and closer to the Snow House Tribe and the leader was about to send out the warriors with a basically 80% casualty rate, Ye Mo had finally arrived at the battlefield.

     Since the giants were facing the Snow House Tribe, she joined the panicked crowd.

     She adjusted her position, first estimating the distance between her and them, then estimating the personality of the mountain giants, and thirdly estimating how to reduce the deviation of other arrows from her own arrow position.

     She pulled out the bow that Mi Wenjing had used from her back, exchanged three high-level fire arrows from the space, adjusted the position on the string, and aimed at one of the mountain giants.

     The time has come. When the tribe archers fired thousands of arrows again, Ye Mo deliberately slowed down by ten seconds. Her arrows were far superior to other arrows in terms of power and speed. She caught up with the arrow group very quickly. In the process, the arrows flew out of the roof and shot into the mouth and eyes of the mountain giant.

     He blocked the arrows of others with one hand as before, but realized that something was wrong, and moved his other hand forward to block the wrong arrow.

     But two arrows still went to his head, hitting the center of the eyebrows and the left eye of a mountain giant.

     Ye Mo whispered: “Bang!”
