CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: AN EARLY SNOW SEASON

"It’s snowing, snowing?"

A surprised voice came from behind, it was Julius.

Soon after, the late-returning beastmen all looked towards the sky, a look of disbelief frozen on their faces.

"It’s snowing!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic, the males picked up the females and hurried back to the stone houses.

A few males, looking anxious, rushed towards the leader’s residence.

Julius was still standing there in a daze, Wen Shu grabbed his hand and quickened her pace, "Follow me."

She glanced to both sides, the beastmen in the stone houses looked flustered, hurriedly packing food and searching for the thickest beast skin robes.

There was no news from Beast City on time, no one expected the snow season to arrive so suddenly.

Returning to the residence, a thin layer of snow had already covered the ground, Wen Shu glanced outside before closing the door, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

This is just the beginning.

The snow season came swiftly, now there are only scattered snowflakes, but by morning, it could turn into a sky-covering snowdrift.

If the evacuation isn’t timely, all the beastmen could be buried in snow, either frozen to death or crushed alive.

Wen Shu took out two backpacks from the storage room, seeing Julius still in a daze, she tossed one to him, "Please go to that room and gather up the thicker beast skins."

After saying that, she walked into Mious’s kitchen, packed the existing food into the backpack, tried the weight, and felt a bit troubled.

It didn’t seem like enough for even a few days, whether they could endure through the migration was uncertain.

But Nan went hunting, there should be some gain...

As she thought of Nan, the stone door was pushed open, Nan hurriedly walked into the kitchen, urgency flashing in his eyes, "Ashu, go wear something warmer, the tribe is migrating overnight!"

He naturally wrapped an arm around Wen Shu and led her to Mious’s bedroom.

Hearing footsteps, Julius poked his head out of the backpack, seeing Wen Shu, he smiled brightly, "I’ve got everything packed, isn’t it great?"

Even at a time like this, with such a big heart, Wen Shu couldn’t help but be impressed.

Seeing Julius’s face, however, Nan tightened his arm slightly.

He lowered his eyes, obscuring their dimness, pulled out a fluffy robe from the bag, draped it over Wen Shu, and bent down to pick her up, "Let’s hurry."

Seeing the two about to leave, Julius hurriedly dragged his luggage and caught up quickly, "Hey! Wait for me!"

Leaving the stone house, it was already getting dark, and the roadsides were lit with candlelight.

The snow was still falling with a soft sound, and the snow on the ground sparkled in the firelight, already reaching ankle height.

The beastmen wrapped themselves tightly in skins, their footsteps making crunching sounds as they hastily moved towards the edge of the tribe.

Leaning in Nan’s arms, Wen Shu noticed the stone gates of the tribe were already open, and the beastmen transformed into beast form, charging into the dense forest under the leader’s guidance.

She didn’t see Mious, but knowing his responsible nature as a Snake Beast, he was likely leading the way at the front.

Soon, they also entered the dense forest, the organizing male inquired about Nan and Julius’s beast forms, shouting towards the tribe, "There are two Flying Beasts over here, does anyone have space..."

Before he finished speaking, a giant snake with emerald scales and a sharp triangular head swiftly slithered over from the snow.

"Wen Shu female," it flicked its tongue, lowering its massive head, its green vertical pupils reflecting Wen Shu’s curled-up figure, "The snow is getting heavier, quickly, get on."

Saying this, Aris flicked its tail tip provocatively at the two males beside it.

Wen Shu recognized him, but there was no time to hesitate; she tugged on the hand beside her, and Nan immediately understood, lifting her onto the Snake Beast.

Julius followed closely behind.

"Hold on tight."

Aris, being a Seventh-tier Beast, moved incredibly fast, quickly reaching the front of the pack.

Wen Shu, unprepared, fell back sharply, landed in Nan’s warm embrace, and had no chance to sit up straight again.

"Hey, it’s the Snake Beast Tribe!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the left side of the dense forest.

Wen Shu held onto Nan’s arm, glancing around, and noticed that as the group advanced, there were many other tribes in the dense forest, migrating towards Beast City.

After traveling a bit further, the group suddenly stopped.

The Snake Beast hadn’t transformed into a human form when Nan, holding Wen Shu, returned to the ground, "We’re nearing the heart of the dense forest, too much noise will attract the Giant Corpse Beast."

He explained specially, which surprised Wen Shu a bit.

Before she could think more, a joyful shouting voice rang out in the dense forest, "Sister!"

Wen Shu didn’t realize the call was for her and started walking towards the group, but a rapid running sound came from behind.

In just a few seconds, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth blocked her path, "Sister! Long time no see! How have you been?"

It was the original host’s younger brother Bai Yan.

Wen Shu didn’t really want to interact with him, but Bai Yan’s worried and sincere eyes calling her sweetly made it hard for her to be cold.

Besides...

She happened to have something to ask those from Beast City.

Wen Shu lowered her eyes, a smile tugged at her lips, "I’m doing well, how about you? Did you just finish the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Without stopping, she assessed Bai Yan at a glance and looked towards where he came from.

Among the migration teams of the various tribes, the attire of that group of beastmen was particularly striking.

They wore specially made brown beast skins, with an upper body layer of armor, and at joints like the elbows, there were black iron armors stitched on.

Such outfits were equipped only for the army of the Main Beast City.

Bai Yan didn’t realize she was probing, instead assuming she was concerned about him.

Seeing her gentle profile, his earlobes flushed slightly, deliberately deepening his voice, he smiled, "Yes, I passed smoothly, this time going back, I can join the Beast City’s assignment."

He straightened his back proudly, but looking around, he became a bit frustrated, "I just didn’t expect the snow season to come so suddenly, hopefully, we can return safely..."

Hearing his unguarded words, Wen Shu felt a bit moved, intending to bring him closer and quietly inquire a few things, but she suddenly sensed a gaze falling on her side.

She furrowed her brows, looking sharply in that direction, meeting a pair of sharp, pale green eyes.

He was a very handsome male, with neat brown short hair, a sharp and stark profile, deep-set eyes, and sensual thin lips pressed into a straight line, giving off a cold and stern vibe.

Likely accustomed to training, he stood with a straight back, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist, wearing a specially made beast skin suit that enhanced his striking appearance.

Realizing Bai Yan was being interrogated, he frowned slightly, his steps steady as he walked towards them.

Being stared at by him, Wen Shu inexplicably felt as if he saw through her intentions, about to sternly reprimand her.

She silently averted her gaze, feeling guilty while speculating about his identity.

Seeing the male approach, Bai Yan immediately smiled and greeted him, introducing to Wen Shu, "Sister, this is Craig, Bai Qiao’s fiancé."
