Chapter 807 Who is there
But Yin Ze reacted even faster! Just as Hua Han grabbed him, his powerful wings unleashed all their strength, and he struggled upwards!
With a muffled thud, Hua Han's body was forcibly pulled from the suction of the flowing snow, bringing with it a cloud of snow mist.

Yin Ze dared not linger, grabbed him and quickly flew away from that dangerous area, landing on a safe ice surface not far away.

Hua Han lay sprawled on the ice, coughing violently and spitting out snow foam that had been choking him. His fur was covered in snow powder, making him look utterly disheveled, but he had finally escaped danger.

Having recovered from their shock, the four males huddled together, gazing ahead.

After passing through the snow traps and the previous canyon, the road ahead seemed to be blocked by a wider, seemingly bottomless ice fissure and a steeper, smoother ice wall.

The boundless snowfield stretched into the depths of the mist, flanked by sheer, towering ice cliffs. The biting wind howled like a tangible knife.

"What do we do now?" Yan Lie gasped for breath, looking at the despairing terrain.

Yin Ze shook his feathers and suggested, "I'll fly you over there! Let's fly over this area!"

Zhu Xiu slowly shook his head. "No. The cold here far exceeds the limits of ordinary regions. We cannot maintain our human form for long. We must rely on our beast form to retain our body temperature and strength. Yin Ze, your beast form cannot support my full weight."

He slightly raised the snake's head, gazing at the gloomy sky shrouded in thick, cold fog, seemingly blocking out the sun. "Moreover, the higher you go, the more violent and chaotic the air currents become, and the temperature drops to a terrifying level. Flying at high altitudes consumes a tremendous amount of our energy. Once we're exhausted, or if we're accidentally caught in a hidden blizzard or turbulence..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the unspoken meaning sent a chill down everyone's spine.

After listening, the males fell silent, their brows furrowed.

Zhu Xiu's analysis was calm and cruel. They had come a long way and had come to deeply understand how this desolate place eroded their physical bodies.

It's not just about physical strength, but also about willpower.

They will eventually have to carry heavy ice back, which in itself requires a huge amount of energy.

Looking at the enormous ice fissure ahead, seemingly an insurmountable chasm, and the smooth, steep ice wall with nowhere to hold onto, feeling the extreme cold that seeped into every part of my body and almost froze my very bones...

An unprecedented heavy pressure quietly permeated the hearts of the four males, who even as Red-ranked individuals, they felt they were struggling to move forward.

The Glacier Forest, a forbidden land branded by generations of orcs with blood and lessons, is far more dangerous and difficult than they initially imagined.

***

As time passed, Bai Wanwan's heart felt as if it were being slowly tormented over a low flame, unable to find peace day or night.

Ever since she learned that Zhu Xiu and the others had resolutely gone to the Glacier Forest, she had not had a single night of restful sleep.

Often, just as one drifts off into a light sleep, terrifying dreams begin to haunt them.

The towering ice cliffs collapsed with a deafening roar before our eyes, and the boundless snowfield opened its gaping maw to devour everything. Those familiar figures struggled and sank in the icy white torrent...

Each time, I would break out in a cold sweat, sit up abruptly, my heart pounding like a drum, and then endure the agony of staring into the darkness until dawn.

During the day, she was always absent-minded. She would force a smile at the cubs playing around her knees, but as soon as she turned away, her gaze would involuntarily drift to the distant north.

My heart was heavy, and even food tasted bland.

She was filled with regret. If she had known they would risk their lives for ice, she would have preferred to just use her system points to exchange for it!

At worst, Fu Jinshen's gene serum can be replaced later, and the points can be accumulated slowly. As long as she keeps a close watch on Fu Jinshen and prevents him from easily venturing into dangerous hunts, with his intelligence and gradually adapting ability to the beast world, his safety in the tribe will always be guaranteed.

But it's too late to regret it now.

The beast-tamers who stayed at home witnessed her anxieties.

They cannot take the adventures for the males who are going on long journeys; they can only soothe her anxious heart with extra tenderness, patience, and companionship.

Seeing that she had a poor appetite, Xin Feng went to great lengths every day to prepare exquisite and appetizing dishes using the freshest and plumpest parts of the prey and the sweetest and juiciest wild fruits.

He didn't urge her or lecture her, but simply looked at her with his gentle, warm eyes and softly advised, "Wanwan, please eat a little more, okay? Your body and the baby in your belly both need nutrition. If Zhuxiu and the others come back and see that you've lost weight, they'll blame us for not taking good care of you, and they'll feel even more heartbroken and guilty."

Under his focused and gentle gaze, even though Bai Wanwan had no appetite and felt a tightness in her chest, she would force herself to eat a few more bites so as not to disappoint him.

Whenever Jiaoyin is by her side, he transforms into a beautiful and mysterious mermaid.

A shimmering, iridescent fishtail replaced its legs, swaying in a dreamlike arc in the dim light, softly humming an ancient ballad passed down through the mermaid race.

The ethereal and melodious singing soothed her restless soul.

Fu Jinshen was almost always by his side.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid. I've asked the chieftain and checked the few remaining records in the tribe. The Glacier Forest is indeed treacherous, but that's for ordinary orcs. Zhuxiu, Yanlie, Huahan, and Yinze are all top-tier Crimson-rank orcs, with exceptional strength and rich experience. They'll support each other and surely overcome any danger to return safely to your side. What you need to do now is recover and wait for them to come back."

With the loving men around her taking turns to coax her in various ways, Bai Wanwan's heavy heart, which felt like a boulder pressing on her chest, finally found a crack, and she began to actively wait for their return.

That afternoon, the heat was stifling. She leaned against the soft couch by the window, which was covered with a cooling mat. "Jiaoyin, how many days have they been gone? Shouldn't they be back by now?"

Jiaoyin sat on a low stool at her feet, carefully carving a smooth piece of wood with a sharp bone knife.

Upon hearing this, he put down the bone knife and the wood, turned around, and gently took her slightly cool hand into his palm.

"The Glacier Forest is located in the far north of the continent, and the journey is indeed long and treacherous... If all goes well, we should be back in a few days..."

In the shadowy corner of the house, a tall figure had been standing there for who knows how long.

Those brown eyes, hidden in the shadows, were fixed on the slender, haggard figure by the window.

The Glacier Forest... those males actually went to that kind of place to get ice for her?
He traveled through the post-apocalyptic world and only returned here two days ago after collecting enough energy stones.

He secretly observed her over the past few days and noticed that she was accompanied by several fewer males.

So... they went to the Glacier Forest.

The female had clearly lost weight, and her once radiant face now looked tired and pale.

It made him feel a little sorry for her.

"Who is there?"
