After Hu Qing's bonding ceremony, there were several heavy snowfalls. Under the gloomy sky, there was almost no sign of life in the forest.

But Ye Xing still keenly felt that the cold wind seemed to become warmer and no longer so freezing.

Snake Rain said this means that the snow season is about to end!

Sure enough, from then on, the snowflakes became smaller and smaller, and the dark clouds became thinner and thinner. Finally one day, the sky and the earth seemed to suddenly become brighter. The golden red sunlight that had not been seen for a long time broke through the clouds and spread warmth to the entire continent.

That day, the survivors rushed out, hugged and cheered excitedly. They knew that hope had come...

The snow and wind subsided, the frozen ground began to melt, and life reappeared in the forest.

Traces of large wild animals began to appear near the Golden Phoenix Tribe, and two black bears had already been hunted.

During another hunt, Ye Xing stepped on the paw of a black bear. He lowered his head to take a closer look and found that the black mud on the paw of the black bear was a little special.

"It looks a bit strange!" She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.

"Tsk, there should be mud! Look, the ground has started to thaw, it's normal to step on mud!" Sheyu said.

It seemed to make some sense, but Ye Xing just felt something was wrong.

She subconsciously raised her hand and called Yingyu, ordering him to fly into the air and patrol to see if there was anything unusual.

Sheyu didn't understand why Ye Xing was so nervous. In her opinion, Ye Xing was the most dangerous person in the entire forest. She was simply the natural enemy of all animals.

"Let's call someone to drag him away first! It will be dark soon!" She Yu signaled Lu Simei to call for help.

Ye Xing agreed casually and looked around again. This place was not too far from the tribal base camp, and it would only take half a day to get there by horse.

During the snow season, she and Humian almost cleared out all the large beasts within a radius of 100 miles. She didn't expect to see such a big guy so close now.

There were few coincidences and accidents in her eyes, and she tried to find some clues.

"Ye Xing, look, there's really honey!"

A burst of excited shouts interrupted her thoughts.

Hu Mian held a large piece of black honeycomb in his hands and ran over excitedly to show it to Ye Xing like a treasure.

Ye Xing temporarily put away his thoughts and rubbed the sweaty forehead of Tiger Quilt: "Go back and ask Lu San to roast bear paws for you."

"Yes!" Hu Mian nodded heavily.

He was a little impatient. He had eaten all the stored honey long ago and hadn't eaten roasted bear paws for a long time. He was almost dying of cravings.

"Haha, I'm going to pick the prettiest one to roast first."

Hu Mian believed everything he heard. He pushed the beehive into Ye Xing's arms, ran over, circled around the black bear, and began to make a serious comparison.

Ye Xing found it funny. These four mud claws all looked the same. How could they be divided into different levels?

"Oh my, why is it all mud and smells so bad? I forgot just now that I should let it run for a while before playing with it." Hu Mian muttered, with a look of disgust on his face.

"Why let it run away?" Ye Xing didn't understand for a moment.

"Just run farther and drive it to the big pine forest! The leaves on the ground are so thick there. The black bear can wipe its claws clean when it runs over there!" Hu Mian replied.

Pine forest?

A flash of lightning seemed to pass through Ye Xing's mind, and he suddenly grasped the important point.

"Humian, can you tell where this black bear came from?" Ye Xing asked.

"Ok?"

Hu Mian was a little confused. After turning around, he answered casually, "There is a large patch of thorns to the north, and there are many big trees in the forest behind it. It must have come from there!"

"how do you know!"

Ye Xing continued to ask, she remembered that the thorn bush was very far away from here.

Hu Mian was questioned, but still a little unconvinced. He immediately squatted down and picked up a bear paw, saying, "Look at this mud, it's black and smelly, and it smells bitter. It's the smell of thorn roots. I can't be mistaken!"

Ye Xing's face became a little solemn after hearing this. So far?

Even if the ice and snow begin to melt, the black bear will look for food everywhere. Is it such a coincidence that it happens to run to a place not far from the tribe?

This huge beast had taken a lot of effort for her to kill. It had its own fixed territory and should not be so common.

"Your Highness, I'm back!"

Yingyu fell from the sky, lowered his head to tidy up his clothes before walking over to find Ye Xing.

This was a habit that the orcs had been forced to develop recently. There was nothing they could do about it as Hu Mian would not allow them to be disheveled in front of Ye Xing or else he would beat them up if they saw them.

"Is there anything unusual?" Ye Xing asked.

"The snow hasn't melted completely in many places, so we haven't found anything yet." Yingyu answered, and then continued to ask: "Your Highness, have you found anything unusual? What's wrong?"

"This black bear is a little far away from its own territory. Is this common?" Ye Xing asked back.

"It's indeed not common, but the snow season has just ended and they have just come out of the cave. It's normal for them to look for food everywhere because they are hungry." Sheyu heard Ye Xing's question and walked over to speak first.

Yingyu nodded in agreement: "These four-legged stupid things have only flesh on their bodies but no brains, so it's not surprising that they run around everywhere."

"Ah! I meant beasts! Not people!"

Yingyu turned around and saw Humian glaring at him. He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words.

But it's too late now, Humian will hold a grudge!

With Ye Xing by his side, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He suddenly bent down, picked up a piece of frozen soil, and threw it towards the treetop in front without even looking at it. In the puzzled eyes of Yingyu, only a sharp bird cry was heard.

"Plop!" The body of a bird fell right at Eagle Feather's feet.

"The ones with wings are the most annoying!" Hu Mian said hatefully.
