Chapter 431 Traveling at Night
Before the last rays of sunlight had completely faded, Yong led his people and the middle-class citizens without hesitation, rushing towards the territory of the gorilla tribe like an arrow released from a bow.
In fact, it wasn't that they couldn't wait for just one night, but rather that they made this decision based on multiple considerations.
Firstly, the environment in which the beastmen of the gorilla tribe live is extremely harsh. The winter weather is unpredictable, and many lives may perish from the cold overnight.
Secondly, and more urgently, according to the information they brought, a ferocious snow bear had appeared near the gorilla tribe. This enormous creature is extremely aggressive, and if it were to launch a surprise attack on the gorilla tribe, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Based on a comprehensive consideration of all these factors, everyone agreed that a decisive action must be taken and the journey must begin immediately. However, the reality was far less smooth than imagined.
The raging blizzard relentlessly battered the bodies of every orc, and the thick snow added many unexpected obstacles to their journey. Although they had been running for over an hour, they had only covered less than a third of the total distance.
As darkness fell, Yong grew increasingly anxious. He shouted urgently, "Everyone, hurry up! It's going to get dark soon, and the freezing night is extremely dangerous. We have to go faster!"
Upon hearing Yong's words, everyone felt a pang of anxiety and immediately mustered their strength, quickening their pace as they ran forward.
However, at this moment, they were going against the wind, which was howling and whipping against them as if trying to push them back to where they were.
Nevertheless, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, refusing to give up easily.
Just as the group was making their difficult stealth journey, a figure suddenly flew rapidly from ahead. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Sen.
As he flew to a point not far from the ground, he opened his mouth, and a powerful burst of ice-based energy erupted out, heading straight down into the snow below.
In an instant, the thick, soft snow seemed to be under a spell, quickly freezing into an incredibly hard layer of ice.
Walking on this smooth, mirror-like ice is much easier than trudging through the soft snow.
These orcs have exceptionally sharp claws and teeth, which allow them to easily pierce deep into the ice, thus securing their grip and greatly increasing their speed.
Inspired by Sen, the other orcs in the group who also possessed ice-based abilities followed suit. They worked in perfect harmony with Sen, using their own abilities to create more and longer ice paths.
As more and more icy roads appeared, the team's speed increased dramatically, reaching an astonishing level in an instant.
At this moment, these beastmen ran wildly through this icy world, their figures flashing across the white earth like lightning, leaving behind deep and shallow trails.
The biting wind howled in their ears, but it could not stop their determination and steps forward.
Along the way, Sen kept using his supernatural abilities to clear the path ahead, which greatly facilitated the beastmen who were rushing through the wind and snow.
The orcs secretly marveled at Sen's power, but some among them knew of Sen's previous abilities. They all silently vowed to work hard and strive to contribute to their people, improving their abilities like Sen.
Yong knew that Sen's ancestral reversion was due to the leader, and he was determined to work hard so that one day he could also receive the leader's reward and make a breakthrough!
After running tirelessly for more than two hours, they finally stepped into the territory of the gorilla tribe, panting heavily.
Overwhelmed with excitement, he raised his head high and roared deafeningly towards the cave.
The roar echoed through the valley, like a signal piercing the sky, conveying the joyous news of his return to the distance.
Not long after, a loud and joyful response came from the cave. Hearing this familiar voice, Zhong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and a relieved smile spread across his face—it seemed that his people were all safe and sound.
They continued their trek deeper into the territory, but just then, the raging, howling blizzard, which had been sweeping across the land, suddenly stopped as if by magic.
The world suddenly became so quiet that it was almost unsettling, with only the occasional gentle breeze stirring the snowflakes piled on the branches.
Sen keenly sensed the change in his surroundings. He stopped and turned to look at the mountain peak beside him. All he saw was a vast expanse of white, nothing but thick snow.
Even so, thanks to the strong intuition he had developed over many years of wilderness survival, Mori could still clearly sense that the sudden blizzard had originated from the other side of the mountain.
At the same time, Yu also dared not relax his observation of the surrounding situation. Since the snow bear attack, he had remained highly vigilant, his nerves taut like a bowstring. Moreover, due to his long-term association with nature, he possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to even the slightest changes in airflow.
At that moment, when he noticed a slight anomaly in the surrounding airflow, he immediately exchanged a glance with the orcs beside him, including Yan and Mao.
Without needing to exchange words, they understood each other perfectly. Everyone's expressions became increasingly solemn, and they leaned forward slightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
"Yong, you and the tribesmen go with Zhong to the cave to migrate. Don't take anything you don't need. We'll try to get back to the tribe as soon as possible. I'm going to check the mountain next door and I'll meet up with you in a bit." Sen kept looking at the mountain, his eyes narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
