Snow fell heavily, and the sky and the earth were all white.

The cool air filled my lungs, and even the breath I exhaled turned into crystal ice crystals, sparkling in the sunlight.

Muye ran wildly on the endless snowfield with Fox Feifei on his back, leaving behind a trail of footprints that were soon covered by frost and snow.

Ten days had passed since they left the bottom of the cliff. They passed through the vast cedar forest, crossed the frozen mountains and rivers, and walked across the flat snowfield...

Except for stopping in a cave to rest and eat at night, the rest of the time is almost always spent on the journey.

Bai Ling also parted ways with them and returned to the Tianyu tribe.

Hu Feifei wrapped herself up like a big dumpling. The white snowflakes fell on her body, forming a thick layer. From a distance, she looked like a round snowball.

She squinted at the snow-covered world of ice and felt that the cold season on the Orc Continent seemed to be too long.

Although she didn't remember the exact time, she had been in the Fire Mulberry Forest for nearly three months, and it was still bitterly cold outside.

Nuojiji heard her inner thoughts and responded to her questions.

[Host, the winter season in the Orc Continent is indeed long, lasting as long as eight months.]

[So in this season when there is no grass and food is scarce, the orcs will prepare winter supplies in advance. If there is a shortage of food, they will starve to death or freeze to death. Every cold season will take the lives of many orcs. ]

It turned out to be as long as eight months. No wonder she felt it was so long. If that was the case, a year in the Orc Continent would be divided into sixteen months.

I hope that grandpa and uncle’s family in the tribe can safely survive the cruel winter.

She prayed in her heart, but at the same time she felt sorry for Muye who had been working so hard to carry her on the journey.

If it weren't for her, Makino wouldn't have suffered so much and walked long distances outside in the cold weather.

Feeling guilty, she swept the frost and snow off Muye's head. She found that his ears were frozen. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "How long will it take us to reach Beast King City?"

She knew that Muye was working so hard because he wanted to take her to Beast King City as soon as possible and didn't want to let her sleep in the open air in the cold season.

Makino was breathing heavily. Because he was running at full speed, he didn't feel cold. Instead, he was steaming hot all over.

"As long as we cross this plain, we will arrive in a few days. Lady, please be patient for a few more days."

Then he asked with concern, "Is the female master hungry? Or are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Hu Feifei said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Apart from being a little cold and having a numb butt, she was much more comfortable than Makino. After all, she didn't have to travel by herself.

Makino also knew that the female master was concerned about him. As the sun was high in the sky and lunch time was approaching, he looked around at the vast expanse of snow and found a hidden cave.

The cave was covered with thick snow, and there were many bushes and hanging vines around it.

The vines were covered with silvery white frost, like a natural snow curtain covering the entrance of the cave.

Muye leaned over to make it easier for Hu Feifei to climb down, and turned into an orc, holding the goods in the basket with one hand and lifting the hanging vines with the other.

All of a sudden, white ice and snow fell from the vines, covering him with frost.

He dragged the things in without caring, and then lifted the natural snow door curtain to let Hu Feifei in.

Hu Feifei walked into the cave on the snow and found that the space inside was quite spacious and there was a lot of hay scattered around. Muye no longer had to go outside to look for dry firewood.

Muye gathered the hay together, spread a thick bear skin on top, opened the animal skin bag and found that there was not much dried meat left. He looked up at Hu Feifei and said, "Female master, stay here and don't run around. I'm going to go outside to hunt."

After saying this, he gathered the remaining hay, took out his flint and planned to make a fire to keep warm, but was stopped by Hu Feifei.

"It's okay, I'm not cold."

"It's hard to find dry firewood outside now, so use these hay sparingly, as we'll need to use them to make a fire and cook later."

She was so frugal with every bit of hay she used, and Makino suddenly felt guilty and looked frustrated.

The female leader had indeed suffered a lot following him. A female like her should have lived a stable life in the tribe, without worries, but now she was wandering around with him...

It was all his fault for not being able to protect her.

"I'm sorry, lady. It's all my fault that I couldn't let you live a life without worries about food and clothing."

Hu Feifei chuckled nonchalantly, "Why are you saying sorry all of a sudden?"

"I'm really not cold. If you don't believe me, feel it."

She held out her hands to prove her words.

She had secretly put on a few warming patches, so she wasn't really cold.

Moreover, although the cave is not warm in winter, it is a place with constant temperature, which can isolate the howling cold wind and snow outside.

Makino touched her slender and beautiful hand and found that it was indeed warm, and his brows relaxed.

Hoarsely said: "Okay, I'll be back soon."

Hu Feifei smiled and nodded, watching him turn into a cool black big cat and leave. She sat on the animal hide, bored, and looked through the things in the animal hide bag.

It contained some of her miscellaneous small items, as well as a few magical tools given to her by the high priest.

She had eaten all the fruits she had picked at the bottom of the cliff along the way, and now there was really nothing left to eat.

Touching her shriveled belly, she stood up, took out the stone pot, and went outside the cave to get some ice and snow back, intending to make some distilled water to drink later.

Conditions are limited now and getting water is not convenient, so we can only make the best use of it.

Nuojiji said considerately: [Host, the system detected that there are a few persimmon trees not far outside. Do you want to pick some to eat? ]

Hu Feifei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she muttered, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Wrapping herself tightly in the thick fur sable coat, she excitedly left the cave.

As soon as she came out, the biting cold wind blew as mercilessly as a knife, making her cheeks hurt.

After coughing, she exchanged for a soft scarf and mask in the system mall and put them on to block out the strong cold. She then put her hands in her pockets and followed the direction indicated by the system, moving forward in the wind and snow.

Snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers, and everything on earth was covered with pure white. Even with thick clothes to keep warm, her face was still red from the cold, and her hands and feet were stiff.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, she really found the persimmon tree!

Against the backdrop of white frost and snow, the red persimmons hang on the treetops like red lanterns, forming a beautiful landscape.

She ran forward with great joy, picked one immediately without fear of the cold, and took a bite.

The sweet, delicate and cool taste stimulated her taste buds, making her unable to resist taking a few more bites.

After eating a persimmon, her stomach no longer felt burning, so she opened the animal skin bag and began to pick persimmons.

She didn't stop until the animal skin bags were full.

At this moment, her hands were already numb from the cold. After rubbing them a few times, she started to walk back.

It's so cold outside, and it's windy and snowy. If we don't get back to the cave quickly, we will really freeze to death.
