The seawater of Kola Bay has been kept at 3 for a long time, and the abundant salmon and cod resources here attract a large number of seals to live here.
Leopard seals are elves of the Arctic, a master at fishing, and an important food source for polar bears.
After preying, they rest on the beach, bathing in the last sunset.
Polar bears stay by the sea to enjoy a hunting feast. They mainly catch leopard seals, and they can only stay away from the occasional elephant seals.
However, humans are here.
The visitor was not a deer breeder with a stone spear, but a Rus with a variety of carbon steel weapons.
Those bears wandered around with large pieces of seal meat, or gathered together to "dinner."
Rurik saw with his own eyes that a group of seals were desperately running into the sea in the sunset, and the polar bears afterwards also jumped, swimming and chasing in the sea.
This is the power of the wild!
Rurik did not give a clear order, and the hunters of the Rus and Balmerk began to act.
Leopard seals, elephant seals and polar bears are all prey of humans.
The Ross warrior with a crossbow fired a very powerful and special wide-bladed hunting arrow, which forced the small leopard seal to lose the ability to escape with just one arrow.
Polar bears have become a key target for shooting, and their leather has little defensive significance under crossbow strikes.
Biyuni was shocked to see that the most ferocious beasts had no resistance at all under the attack of the Ross people's special bow. Xiong Yangtian wailed, bleeding every time he roared. They slapped their claws hopelessly, but they were hit by two or three arrows, and after struggling for a while, they collapsed.
Yevlo shouted excitedly, "Kill as many prey as possible, kill the huge bear! We have to live!"
Yes, stay alive.
Since Master Rurik has decided to spend an extremely long night in the icy end of the world, people who have explored here must be provided with a lot of food. In extreme environments, no one complains about eating too much or poor taste, and the severe cold in winter also makes it unnecessary to worry about food spoilage. At this moment, the hunting of fur is of secondary importance.
The Ross people were busy shooting polar bears frantically and chasing them frantically with a crossbow. Some bears broke out! They started to rush towards the Ross Hunters, but they tried to attack the veterans of all wars.
The sharp-pointed armor-piercing arrow penetrated the bear's skull accurately, and the bear died instantly. Other bears stared blankly at the incoming Ross people, and they didn't know what it meant, so they were shot.
When the other polar bears saw this, they had to run away, until now they finally realized that this world is ushering in a real master.
The Balmerks didn't have a crossbow at all, which didn't prevent them from hunting behemoths.
Biyuni was carrying spears that acted as marching rods. More than a dozen of them were unable to chase the bears who jumped into the sea to swim and escape, and it was a bit difficult to chase the guys running wild in the snow.
"Brothers, the Ross people are killing bears. We have to hunt for something. Don't worry about the little guys, let's kill the big teeth guys."
Biyuni's so-called "big fangs" are elephant seals, which are behemoths with their heads raised up to two meters and weighing more than half a ton!
The two big teeth of the elephant seal are a Norwegian specialty. They can be sculpted into gods and even quilts, which means that the risk of hunting them is huge.
Even Froggy joined the team to charge with a spear, and the frightened multi-headed elephant seal just watched until one of them was attacked.
The spearhead poked like that fat and strong body, the elephant seal struggled frantically, and the hands of many people with spears broke free.
The Balmerk hunters screamed with their mouths open, and the elephant seals darted into the sea with many spears on their backs.
It was too late, then Biyun Ni drew out his hand axe and rushed up. He jumped to the back of the elephant seal, grabbed the axe and hit the back of the prey with a crit, and then he was thrown away.
The other elephant seals are all escaping, they are like squirming fat **** in the sunset.
Hunters now need the greasy fat of their prey the most, and Balmerk knew he had to kill the prey on the beach.
More Balmerks drew out iron swords and axes, chasing up their prey with a stab, and finally ended it.
"It's so hard! It's so hard! Our hunting is far inferior to the Ross people." Bijuni gasped and yelled.
"Boss, what shall we do now? Those big teeth are gone."
As his subordinates said, Bijuni raised his head, and the beach, which was still lively before, now became peaceful.
The waves slapped against the black sandy beach. There were a lot of ice and snow near the beach, and the clusters of pine forests acted as a barrier against wind and waves.
The last afterglow of the sun was lost, and the moon, stars, and aurora brought illumination. Everyone's pupils dilated naturally, and now Ric did not feel that the world was too dark.
The hunters cleaned the battlefield, and everyone gained a lot from this battle-like hunting. Rurik's men hunted as many as six polar bears and twenty leopard seals. Only one giant elephant seal was captured by Biyunni and his men.
The corpses of the prey are piled on the coast, and they will not decay at all in the extreme cold. The bear head, leather, and bear claws were peeled off immediately, and the hunter was worried that the frozen bear carcasses would not be handled well in the future.
This is Kola Bay, and Murmansk must be established. Taking into account the needs of sea tide backflow, wind protection and blizzard protection, the camp that Rurik decided to build must have pine forests to rely on.
The hunters lit a bonfire in the woods, and everyone gathered to eat the bear meat that had just been cut.
Bear meat has a peculiar taste, and Rurik, who has lost a lot of physical energy, can only bite on it.
Everyone chewed on the bear meat, talking and laughing, but Biyun was a little unhappy.
"Brother, are you in a daze?" Rurik saw Bijuni holding the piece of meat thoughtfully.
"We are... actually unable to hunt bears! Your bear hunting is so simple, relying only on your bows."
"Of course. That's how we hunted. But you are as strong as you, you hunted that kind of behemoth."
"Just a big tooth." Bijuni raised his head and looked at Rurik. "Brother, I have a request. I want to get your bow. I will pay a lot of money."
"This"
"This is my request, I hope you agree." Bijuni was very sincere, and Lurik could only smile at one point.
Not getting the crossbow was itchy than Yongni, considering the alliance factor, he didn't dare to use it. It is precisely that the two sides are also in a state of alliance, and Bijuni made a fuss about it.
"Ruriek, sell my affection. My sister will be your concubine, and we have a better future, the crossbow matter..."
If he continues not to express his position, he will definitely hurt the alliance. The biggest reason for his worry is the imitation of others. At present, the Russians do not have many combat troops, and their power is maintained by military tactics and excellent weapons.
You shouldn't be too stingy with your allies!
Rurik snapped his fingers and asked Jeflo to bring a steel-armed crossbow and ten arrows to Biyunni.
"I'll give it to you, you have to cherish it."
"Of course." Biyuni smiled like a five-year-old child, but he suddenly realized that it takes all of his strength to buckle the bow.
He vowed to take good care of this new weapon and become his personal strength for Bijuni.
In accordance with the habits of the Vikings, he gave his own crossbow the name "White Bear Killer" and vowed to pass it on for generations.
Bijuni's rhetoric really made Rurik laugh all the time. If this person only wants to use the crossbow as a private marvelous weapon, it is best, and they better not have the idea of imitation.
The most important thing among allies is sincerity, and Rurik doesn't want to talk about it any more. After all, everyone has to spend the long polar night at the seaside of the Arctic Ocean. Everyone must report to the group to keep warm, and the prey must also be shared to ensure the survival of the group.
Rurik really looked at Biyuni, the "prince" of the Balmerk tribe, who possessed a steel-armed crossbow, hoping that this weapon would make him the most powerful hunter and bring greater honor. To imitate and equip the clansmen in large quantities? Pull it down!
Bijuni didn't have such a vision at all, and his pattern was not big.
His ambition is not even as good as his brother Frocky.
After the first long night, the tired body was fully rested in the night. In the new short day, the hunters not only rely on the pine forests to build wooden houses and build walls, but also form groups to hunt further along the coast.
Bijuni learned the operation of the crossbow almost instantly, and it was not a troublesome device after all.
His dream came true suddenly, and the Balmerks saw their "prince" really become crazy hunters.
In only two hours of daylight, Bijuni shot and killed a polar bear, three seals, and even an alert arctic fox.
The little fox thought he was at a safe distance. Arrows flew, and the fox died instantly.
Biyuni returned to the camp with a hideous bear head, and his men also had some gains.
However, he saw that three of the campsites were thrown outside the construction detail wooden house, and there appeared "hills" piled up by seals.
And more than twenty white foxes hanging on wooden sticks.
In the end, the Roths are the best at hunting in winter. Looking at the crossbow in his hand, Bijuni feels that without it, the Roths are still very strong hunters.
Because those foxes were caught in a stumbling trap and were crushed to death by falling axe stones.
In this pure and undeveloped world, hunters can hunt wildly for the rich animal resources here. The efficiency of hunting and the density of prey have refreshed the understanding of the Rus and Balmerks. They determined that this was Odin's reward.
Of course Rurik knew the truth, and the prey was abundant only because humans did not come. Now human beings are here, they will settle down when they come, and when they come, they will be plagued by wild beasts and fish.
Here, it will be the northern port built by the Russians themselves. Rurik hadn't thought that he could possess Murmansk so early, since he already possessed it, he would not let it to others.
But this place is a bitter cold place after all. The Russ and Balmerks quickly lost the idea and joy of hunting due to the changes in the environment.
It's probably the East there! A magical scene appeared on the horizon.
At first there was only a black color, and the sun seemed to break through the horizon, but the sun did not appear after all.
Since then it seems that time has become weird, or the sun has disappeared as if it never existed.
The world is not extreme. The moon and aurora like emerald green streamers illuminate the earth. Standing outdoors, Rurik needs to endure the severe cold and is fortunate to be able to raise his head to see the magnificence of the sky. His ears were full of the sound of sea waves, and the wind from the North Pole was blowing the pine forest gorgeously.
The pine forests in extreme environments were almost frozen to stones, they were still swaying slightly in the wind, and part of the snow on the needles was hanging down. It is the ice layer attached to the trunks that kept them white.
The Balmerks know that there will be a long dark night, but this is really exciting for the Ross people!
There is only one day of pure night in Roseburg, and there will be no such problem in the region further south.
Outdoors are extremely cold, and Rurik feels that the temperature has always been maintained at -10C or even lower. He no longer has the concept of time. Only a few people in the team can barely judge time by looking at the movement of the stars, especially the position of the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper of the East is also of great significance in Northern Europe. The Ross people call some of these bright stars fairies, and the Balmerks have the same view.
The air outside is extremely cold and it is difficult to breathe, but the situation inside the wooden house is very good.
A crowd was nested in two wooden houses, and the reindeer pulling the sled was in the other.
People built wooden walls and desperately covered them with snow everywhere, so that everyone can get used to the temperature in the wooden houses.
Life becomes boring and everyone is drowsy. Only when they are hungry will someone climb out of the "cavity" and run outdoors to pile wood and make a fire, or have a bad stomach, and run to an area sheltered by a snow wall. toilet.
It seems that many days have passed. When will the long night end?
More and more people have bought such days of forced hibernation. They picked up an axe to log in the woods, or sat on the beach with the help of moonlight, looking at the "sea at the end of the world" thoughtfully.
The whole world is extremely pure, and Rurik didn't expect that this winter he would be like an Arctic researcher, staying in this wonderful place in Murmansk until the end of the night.
He was wrapped in extremely thick fur, lying on the soft snowdrift, calmly looking at the sky, staring at the magnificent aurora.
Sepolawa was lying next to him, subconsciously holding Rlick's arm. This is her man. Considering that there is only one woman in the entire camp, Sepolawa will not let go.
This incredible coexistence with my own man is really happy...
"Rurik, is the Valkyrie really cruising?" the girl muttered weakly.
Rurik responded weakly, keeping his body and mind calm: "Seeing the green light curtain, that is the trace of the Valkyrie. Look at the stars in the sky, one of them is Asgard."
"Oh. I'm your woman. After my life is over, will I follow you to Asgard?"
"This..." Rurik was stunned. This girl didn't seem like Tong Yan Wuji, she was serious at all. "Of course. You are my woman, and I will take you and everyone to heaven. At that time, your new identity is the Asgardian god."
"It's great." Saiporava pulled Rurik more closely, and began to act like a baby in a woman's unique way.
At this moment, she fully believed that Rurik was the son of Odin and a **** from Asgard. As her concubine, her soul would also be honored, although she had questioned the existence of Odin.
Seporava has been living with Rurik for the past two years. There are many women in a huge family, and she has not been extremely favored. She knew that Sister Lumia was the first woman of Rurik, and Lumia deserved to enjoy more love.
Now, I am enjoying being alone.
Seporava still has difficulty understanding the fact that the world is a big ball, it seems that the stars in the sky are also one ball after another.
Master Rurik has a set of magical world theory, which not only explains the origin of night and day, but also explains why this place falls into eternal night. Through his theory, many things in the world are clearly stated.
She murmured again: "Our gray squirrel tribe, call the ribbon in the sky the skirt of the goddess of winter. It's so beautiful."
"Beautiful! Very beautiful. I feel peaceful. I don't have any trouble here. I don't have to think about going to war or improving people's lives. I don't have to think about anything. I just need to look at the sky..." Rick's heart is very calm. He has adapted to the wild life of Northern Europe. Considering that he is a fifty-year-old guy inside, ask yourself, do you understand it? absolutely not.
This is life, not a game. The Principality of Rus is on the rise, but it is still surrounded by powerful enemies. The rise and fall of a country almost depends on the attitude of Rurik himself.
Thinking about ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Rurik suddenly felt that he had suddenly disappeared from the sight of the tribe, and went to the ghost place of Murmansk to watch the sea. How would other tribes live? Will it be depressed?
Lurik deliberately took advantage of this opportunity to see if the honorable and respected status he enjoyed in the principality was real.
If the people were extremely worried about him and burst into tears when they saw him coming back suddenly, Rurik could say that the Duchy of Ross was his country.
After all, the extreme cold and the aurora could not make Rurik quiet. He gradually got up from the snowdrift, grabbed Sepolava by the arm and pulled it up: "I'm glad you accompany me to watch the stars. Let's stop here, I I have to eat something and feed the reindeer."
Sepolawa nodded: "Let me feed the deer. I am your woman. This is what I should do."
This girl has entered the role of wife, and Rurik is in a daze. Are women in this era so precocious? Or be forced by the environment. In the days to come, if she has been so meek and obedient to share her worries for herself, and don't give her more love, she will be really not a good man. "Well, at least give birth to three sons for me, one guarding Elon Castle, one guarding Fiskele Castle, and one guarding here, Murmansk."
