The blizzard blocked the entire area, and the sky and the earth were plunged into a vast expanse of white wind and snow. Visibility was extremely low, and it was difficult to distinguish humans and animals from a distance of one meter.

In the wind and snow, the bells rang loudly and connected together. The fog shadows used this to confirm each other's positions and prevent accidental injuries. Each of them was a master of silent assassination, adding a touch of blood to the pure white snow.

Kirikage's strategy after entering the scene is to kill indiscriminately, regardless of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure.

In the wind and snow at this time, Kirikage's ninjas were wrapped in thick coats to keep warm. They were well prepared for this blizzard.

Extremely low temperatures and heavy snow are extremely unfriendly to any living creature.

Unprepared ninjas from other countries can only rely on their physical fitness and consumption of chakra to maintain body temperature.

But this is only a drop in the bucket, as time goes by, the cold becomes more and more cruel.

The ninja's body is covered with a layer of white frost, and his head and shoulders are covered with snow. No matter how much he shakes, it will soon be covered again.

His face was red from the cold, his eyebrows were covered with frost, his eyelashes were white from the cold, and he was still fighting a deadly battle while his whole body was shivering.

The situation indoors is relatively okay, but outdoors it's really deadly.

Many ninjas did not choose to risk fighting in the heavy snow and hid in their houses, but the reality was not satisfactory.

The two parties who met in the house did not coexist peacefully. The impact of the battle quickly destroyed their footing, and they both fell into the abyss of snow.

The freezing to death has not happened yet, but this moment will come sooner or later. If you are injured and lose blood, your body temperature will drop faster, and you will freeze to death in the snow faster.

The most serious thing is that unlike the relatively mild low-temperature environment of snow, combat effectiveness is greatly affected in severe snowstorms.

For ninjas who are not used to fighting in this kind of weather, it is a difficult test.

Ninjas fought in the snow, and their bodies were buried in the heavy snow.

For the magpie swarm, the situation is equally bad.

Many species cannot survive in harsh environments below zero. Once the body temperature drops below freezing, the water in the cells will cause cell damage and death.

As early as the first mission, Meiji had a large-scale winter operation.

As a result, Xia Chizu can move in groups and temporarily resist the low temperature, but eventually they will all die in the cold winter.

How to survive the harsh, cold and harsh winter is a matter that must be solved for Meiji.

In nature, insects have their own methods.

It is a dangerous journey that must be experienced throughout the year, where insects have developed various superb survival skills.

There are roughly three ways.

The first is insect state, the second is behavior, and the third is physiology.

In the cold season when dripping water turns into ice, insects overwinter in order to avoid cold damage in various ways, each with its own unique charm.

Some moth pupae overwinter five centimeters underground, some moth pupae overwinter under tree bark and in litter, some overwinter as eggs, some overwinter as larvae hiding in the roots of plants, and some as adult moths. Dormant in underground soil.

Insects are cold-blooded animals. The maintenance of body temperature depends on the ambient temperature and cannot directly resist cold with their bodies.

As a result, numerous confrontational behaviors develop.

One, building a nest.

They hide when it's cold and rely on sunlight to move in groups when the temperature rises.

This is the basic winter strategy of the Eve Swarm.

Second, they migrate and hide when untouchable, looking for a warm environment.

The third is diapause. In this stage, metabolism will slow down.

There are many behaviors like this, and Meiji’s common trick is to move in groups. At this time, the temperature in the center of the insect swarm can maintain high temperature in the cold. It is so high that the central bugs need to rotate with the peripheral bugs to prevent heat stroke.

The essence is no different from two people hugging each other to keep warm in the snow.

Other methods are not very suitable.

The basic hardware conditions are here. If you want to improve cold tolerance, you still have to start with the physiological structure.

When it gets cold enough, the insect's body will freeze, but it can be very cold before it freezes.

As cold-blooded organisms, the body temperature of insects will decrease as the environment cools down. After reaching below the freezing point, the body fluids of insects can remain liquid at the freezing point.

This is called supercooling.

Only when the temperature drops further will the body fluids freeze.

Facing severe cold, some insects will try to lower their supercooling point during evolution.

The temperature of larvae is usually minus 30 degrees Celsius, and some species can reach minus 60 degrees Celsius.

The temperature in winter is generally around minus 13 to 14 degrees.

At freezing point, zero-degree temperatures, the tissues of the human body begin to freeze.

In the cosmic environment, ultra-low temperature is a problem that Meiji has to face.

Therefore, in this ultra-low temperature blizzard environment, ordinary insect swarms still have to be sent.

The Xia Chi soldiers sent to support him froze to death one after another in the snowstorm.

We can stick together and persevere, but it only lasts for a while.

A pair of strong Kumogakure men who had exhausted their chakra hugged each other and froze into ice sculptures with their bare upper bodies.

They tried hard.

Faced with the severe cold, the Spring Thunder Cannon could only hide underground to resist the low temperature and did not dare to show its head.

In the heavy snow, there was no trace of a bug.

With the view blocked, it is difficult to even see anyone.

The strong wind carried the white snow and howled, creating a dark, oppressive and solemn atmosphere between the sky and the earth.

This is snow as cold as death.

Houses were gradually collapsed under the snow, and some people hiding in their houses died from lack of oxygen in the enclosed space due to being blocked by the heavy snow.

The temperature suddenly dropped to minus 70 degrees, and even a ninja could not hold on for about one to three hours at most.

Under such heavy snow, Meiji lost most of her surveillance vision of the battlefield.

The remaining perspectives are limited.

I didn't even see the person who made all this, I could only guess his name.

Xue Ji?

A person lives up to his name.

Just like the snow demon that takes away the lives of lost travelers in a blizzard.

Orochimaru froze to death.

Especially uncomfortable.

The Raikage is still alive and kicking because of his thunder escape chakra mode.

This made Orochimaru's situation even more difficult.

Not far away, a big snake loomed out of the wind and snow. As soon as it sprayed out its smelly, hot and humid snake venom, it froze into ice **** all over the ground and smashed into the snow.

The surrounding Kumogakure ninjas surrounded Orochi.

Although the thunder escape that flowed through the body from time to time was painful, at least he underwent emergency thawing and raised his body temperature.

Snakes are temperature-changing animals. They can maintain their mobility in the snow with the help of thunder escape. Coupled with the heating of their own chakra, if you look closely, they are still shivering from the cold.

The situation of the surrounding ninjas was not much better. The frozen snot hung into ice strips, and new ice strips were formed as the action broke.

The two sides were fighting fiercely.

At this time, a large ice crystal snake with a crystal clear body made of ice and snow suddenly rushed out of the wind and snow.

When it collided with Orochimaru's Plague Snake, it swung its head and blew out a stream of cold air at the nearby Kumogakure.

The moment the sweeping ice crystal airflow hit the human body, the person was beaten into pulpy ice **** and plasma.

This snake looks a bit like a large rock snake.

The snake was at least two times thicker than Orochimaru.

The ice crystal knots like rolling stones are full of the pressure of power.

The cold girl standing on top of the giant snake looked at everyone.

The eyes of the wise and strong man are indifferent and empty.

A horn on the forehead sticks diagonally into the top of the head. There are snake-like scales on the face, and the long and thick tail swings gently behind it.

Scarlet eyes flashed with dark light.

Weirdly beautiful.

Immortal mode.

Different from the sage model of Mt. Myoboku, the typical feature of Ryūji Cave is its snake-like appearance.

Strictly speaking, Orochimaru's sage mode is no longer the traditional sage mode of Ryūchi Cave.
