The family life of the wolf god in the snow mountain

The white wolf moved swiftly on the sandy ground, leaving a crampon print on the ground with every step.

[Wuhu~ You can go out if you go further. 】

For Bai Xiaoxiao, going through the desertification area is like going out and turning a corner, and she will arrive soon.

Orika sat behind the white wolf, feeling the change in the center of gravity, and a trace of doubt flashed in her dark green eyes.

"Understood, have we been going down since the beginning?"

[Well, it seems that it is indeed going downhill. 】

After crossing the edge of the desertification area, the surrounding vegetation became more lush, and the traces of desertification erosion were also reduced.

The white wolf slowed down and stopped in a grassland, its pricked ears moved slightly, as if it was listening to something.

Bai Xiaoxiao sometimes feels that her sense of hearing is quite metaphysical, like now, she heard the sound of wind blowing across the water from a distance.

[There seems to be a water source nearby, but it sounds like the water body is not very mobile, so it shouldn't be a river. 】

Orika also calmed down and listened for a while, but she heard nothing except the faint chirping of insects.

"Let's go to the water source to have a look."

Passing through the sparse grass, then low shrubs, and then you can see a few sporadic trees, but those trees are all crooked and out of shape.

Orika rolled over from White Wolf's back and landed on the ground.

The touch under her feet was wet and muddy. She squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, and gently twisted it with her hands.

Bai Xiaoxiao went to a tree and sniffed it with her nose, and then sniffed it in mid-air.

[This place is very humid, everywhere is wet. 】

Orika rubbed off the wet mud on his hands and patted it lightly.

"There is silt on the ground, it should not be far from the water source."

One person and one wolf continued to walk forward for a certain distance, but they didn't see any trees along the way. It should be said that the further they went, the fewer trees there were.

The air gradually became humid, and the thick water vapor made it difficult to even breathe.

Bai Xiaoxiao drove away the snakes and insects lurking nearby, and her eyesight that was not affected by the darkness allowed her to clearly see the densely packed insects gathered in a group.

There is nothing wrong with one or two bugs, but a large dense patch is a bit infiltrating.

Bai Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue in disgust, the sudden drop in temperature instantly froze the crawling insects, and even the anaconda entrenched on the dead tree shrank back slowly.

Orika is unaware of what's going on around her. She is carefully guarding her surroundings, but human vision is still too limited at night.

[Orika, stop for a moment, the situation ahead is not quite right. 】

Bai Xiaoxiao pulled out the sunken front paw, and froze the surrounding ground without hesitation.

Orika looked forward, and could vaguely see the water surface reflecting light under the moon in the distance.

"It's a swamp."

She stepped on the ice under her feet and breathed a sigh of relief.

If Dabai didn't open the way, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble.

The white wolf looked at the mud on his paws with distaste, froze the mud with ice and then shook it off.In order to protect her Mao Mao, she decisively turned into a human form.

The two stepped on the ice and walked forward for a certain distance without haste. It was not until Orika called to stop that Bai Xiaoxiao stopped paving ice and making roads.

Through the thin and hard ice layer, Bai Xiaoxiao keenly saw a black figure flashing past the two of them nimbly.

【Uh, a fish seems to have swam under my feet just now. 】

Orika looked at the large reflective water ahead, and realized that they were surrounded by water.

"This is... a lake."

At the center of the swamp is a small lake that may not be long before it becomes part of the swamp.

"I seem to know where the river that used to flow through the old village went."

Orika turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao, "Dabai, can you let Xueying take a look at the surrounding landscape from a height."

The flying snow raised on the ground quickly gathered together, turned into a big bird, and circled up at an extremely fast speed.

Xue Ying passed his vision to Bai Xiaoxiao, and saw that under the night, on the gloomy land, the entire swamp looked like a giant black snake coiled together, dormant between the small basins.

"At the beginning, the river water seeped into the ground, but because of the low terrain here, the groundwater overflowed and formed lakes and swamps."

Simply put, it's flooded here.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked around, but saw nothing but water and weeds, and even these weeds may have just grown in the past few decades.

There should be no suitable saplings nearby. Big trees are not easy to grow in the swamp, and the tree species living in this environment may not be able to adapt to the environment of the desertified area.

[Would you like to go further forward? Just now, Xue Ying saw a small forest in front of him in the air. The area of ​​the swamp area does not seem to be that big, and we will be there soon. 】

Orika observed the position of the moon above his head and nodded.

"Then let's hurry up, and it's best to get back before dawn."

The white wolf shuttled across the lake, leaving a trail of ice, like the white smoke of a comet.

After turning over the small slope in front, Bai Xiaoxiao plunged into a forest.

The fresh air in the forest makes people feel refreshed and their mood improves a lot.

【Wuhu～】

In order to facilitate Orika's observation, Bai Xiaoxiao consciously turned into a small light bulb.

The soft light of gold streaks illuminates the sleepy woods.

After frightening a flock of roosting birds and bats into the air again, Bai Xiaoxiao silently turned down the brightness of the light.

Bai Xiaoxiao: Being hit in the face by a bird is really not a good experience.

Orika observed for a while and waved to her, as if she had found a suitable sapling.

Bai Xiaoxiao called out a few snowmen to come and dig the trees, and was about to conjure up an ice cart to load the saplings, when she suddenly sensed a strange aura.

The moment the figure saw the white wolf, it froze for a few seconds. It was startled by Bai Xiaoxiao's cold eyes, and it turned on Beast Transformation and was about to slip away.

Before the little black and white animal ran far, it was pressed down by the sharp claws of the white wolf.

"Dabai?"

Orika heard the sound and ran over, and saw Dabai holding a flat-headed boy in his mouth.

This flat-headed guy looked surprisingly cowardly, with his tail tucked between his legs, and he didn't have the ferocious look in his cognition at all.

"This is... an orc."

Orika looked at the flat-headed brother who was nodding wildly and patted Dabai Maomao helplessly.

"Let go of him, it's frightening people."

Bai Xiaoxiao spat Brother Pingtou on the ground, stretched out her paw and poked him, and saw the little thing shrunk into a ball trembling even more violently.

"Sorry to scare you, don't be afraid, Bai is also an orc."

The trembling Pingtou brother suddenly stopped shaking, and looked up at the white wolf in disbelief.

I saw the white wolf's figure swaying under the moonlight, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a silver-haired and glamorous woman.

Brother Pingtou was stunned, and took a moment to react.

"Say it earlier! It scared me to death!"

The man who got up from the ground looked very embarrassed, speaking with a slight accent, he looked like a savage who ran out of nowhere.

If it weren't for the voice, Orika wouldn't be able to tell her gender.

The woman with short black hair touched her neck and smiled heartlessly at them.

"Hey, where are you from? Why are you wandering in the woods at night?"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the other person's familiar attitude, and felt that this guy was a bit naive.

Bai Xiaoxiao: Fortunately, I met myself and Orika, what should I do if I meet bad people.

A certain stupid wolf completely forgot that he just had a big sex and put the other party in his mouth to scare him.

"We happened to be passing by and were about to leave."

Orika glanced at the snowmen hiding behind the tree, and waved his hand quietly, signaling them not to come out for the time being.

"What about you, it's not safe here at night, why are you here alone?"

The woman patted her chest, looking a little smug.

"I'm not afraid of snake venom, and there aren't any big beasts around here. Naturally, I come out to look for food at night."

Bai Xiaoxiao thought of the anaconda that had just gone home to sleep because of cooling down, and compared their sizes, the eyes they looked at each other became weird.

Orika looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.

"Do you live here alone?"

"Yeah, I originally lived down there."

She pointed to the direction of the swamp, then seemed to think of something, frowned, and pulled her knotted hair casually.

"Later the house below was flooded, and the opposite side was full of sand, so I moved to live in the woods here."

When the woman talked about this matter, her tone was very casual, and she didn't complain about what happened to her.

However, Bai Xiaoxiao seemed to be able to see some hidden emotions in her eyes.

The three of them started a bonfire at the same spot. In fact, Orika and Bai Xiaoxiao came here full of food. Knowing that the man was still hungry, they grabbed a pheasant from the forest and roasted it to share.

They sat and chatted for a while before the campfire, and learned that the woman's name was Barbara.

Orika could tell that Barbara was a bit innocent. She heard from the other party that she separated from her family when she was very young, wandered far away by herself, and finally settled here.

Orika thought for a while, and made an invitation to Barbara:

"Do you want to go back to the village with us? Our village is at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. The environment is good, and the people in the village are also very nice."

After hearing this, Barbara refused without thinking, but she was still very grateful to Orika.

"It's embarrassing enough to eat your chicken meal, so why bother you again."

"The main reason is that I am used to living alone, and there is nothing wrong with being here. I want to stay here forever."

When she said this, Barbara paused, she looked in the direction of the swamp, and suddenly smiled.

"If she doesn't go, I won't go either. I promised to stay with her all the time."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Barbara as if touched, and followed her gaze from a distance, her ice blue eyes were full of clarity, as if she was thinking about something very seriously.

Barbara took them to visit her home, which was a simple hut built with dead tree trunks and branches. Although it was simple, it was tidy.

"Sit down wherever you want."

Bai Xiaoxiao sat for a while, then found an excuse and slipped out.

She walked through the forest, across the swamp, and finally came to the lake that would disappear in a few years.

Silver light flashed past, and faint ripples spread out circles on the water surface.

The silver fish swam down, through the swaying aquatic plants, through the broken logs, and finally, in a place where the moonlight could hardly illuminate, she saw a small wooden house.

It was a small wooden house, which had been waiting underwater for many years. The walls and beams were covered with water plants and algae, and the swollen wood was slightly deformed.

The wooden house didn't seem to be soaked by water slowly, the wood on the side walls and the roof was a little bit shifted, it can be seen that the water flow must have been very fast at that time.

The silver fish lingered outside the door and plunged into the open wooden window.

The things in this hut were scattered, but fortunately most of the items were almost preserved.

Bai Xiaoxiao swam around the house twice, she didn't quite know what she was doing here, she just swam aimlessly.

Suddenly, a flash of light attracted her attention, as if it was intentional for her to see, a shell reflecting brilliant colors was lying quietly on the ground.

The silverfish hovered around the shell for a few seconds, approached the shell lightly, and the moment her side fin touched the shell, she seemed to see a girl with long brown hair.

The pouring flood, the back of the girl leaving in a panic, these phony images flashed through Bai Xiaoxiao's mind.

The little fish paused for a while, happily circled the shell a few times, hooked the string on the shell with its dorsal fin, and slowly swam out of the cabin.

Before leaving, Bai Xiaoxiao took one last look at the hut under the lake.

After the lake turns into a swamp, the wooden house will disappear completely.

The whitebait turned around a few times, and finally jumped out of the water.

Bai Xiaoxiao turned back into a white wolf, shook the water off her body fiercely, and carefully bit the shell, her steps became much lighter when she returned.

When she returned to Barbara's house, Orika was talking to the other party.

"You mean you need saplings, they are everywhere in this forest."

Barbara couldn't quite understand why Orika planted trees, but seeing her new friend's insistence, she offered to help.

"Bai, you're back."

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded to Orika, she looked at Barbara, took out the shell from her pocket, and handed it over.

The smile on the corner of Barbara's mouth suddenly froze when she saw the shell. She took the shell in a daze, and carefully wiped off the mud on it with her hands.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at this person with red eyes, and gently held Orika's hand.

[Oreka, can you tell her a word for me. 】

After hearing this, Orika was slightly startled, then turned to look at Barbara whose shoulders were trembling, and gently stroked her back.

"Barbara..."

Barbara looked at the shells, her ears seemed to be ringing, and she heard someone calling herself in a trance.

She raised her head and looked at the person who was as dazzling as the sun, his eyes were full of gentle relief.

The other party's lips opened and closed, as if they had said a lot, but Barbara didn't hear anything clearly, only the first sentence:

"Your friend is not in the lake, go find her, she is waiting for you too."
