A vast wilderness at the border, an unknown tribe.

The cold wind blew up the snow dust all over the sky.

The entire tribe was buried under thick snow. Looking around, it was a vast expanse of white.

Only dozens of dilapidated wooden houses were crumbling in the wind and snow.

Everyone in this tribe has a haggard face and a emaciated body.

In addition, the heavy snow blocked the mountains, making them suffer from hunger and cold.

In one of the wooden houses, three people were sitting around a fire.

Ulla, Kshatriya, Maha, these are their names.

Only the bravest hunters in the tribe can have a name.

"If this goes on, the people of the tribe won't be able to hold on for much longer." Uro frowned, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Yes..." Shali nodded slightly, his eyes looking towards the mountains in the distance.

"Going into the mountains to hunt may give us a glimmer of hope." Maha gritted his teeth.

The three of them looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

In a moment, they put on worn animal skins and picked up crude weapons.

Under the gaze of the tribesmen, they stepped into the snow-covered mountains.

As soon as they entered the mountains, the biting cold wind cut their faces like ice knives.

All around, snow-covered.

The branches of the trees were covered with icicles, which kept ringing in the cold wind.

The cold wind pricked my skin like ice needles. The surrounding trees shivered in the strong wind and the accumulated snow fell down.

Ula, Shali and Maha struggled forward in this white world, and the snow crunched with every step.

Uro's brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

He stopped and breathed slightly. The cold wind quickly rushed into his mouth and nose, making him shiver.

He looked around. The forest was filled with an eerie silence. Apart from the occasional roar of wild beasts, there was no other sound.

"I think there is something wrong. Something is not right with this forest."

"It's not like we haven't gone into the mountains in winter in previous years."

"But now it seems a little too quiet, even the birds are gone."

"Why don't we go back..."

Uro lowered his voice and clenched the spear with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Shali tilted his head slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone: "If we go back like this, we will be looked down upon by our tribe."

Maha lowered his head slightly. He had six hungry children at home who were waiting for him to bring food back.

"I don't want to leave either. I have six children to support at home." Maha's voice was a little hoarse and contained a hint of fatigue.

Uro felt conflicted as he listened to what Kshatriya and Maha said.

The three continued their arduous trek through the mountains and forests. As they went deeper, the scenery around them changed dramatically.

The biting cold wind seemed to have weakened a bit and was no longer as biting as before.

The thick snow that originally covered the ground has melted a lot at this moment.

Wu Luo paused for a moment, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. "The snow seems to have melted a little, and the road is easier to walk on."

"Could it be that 'Sama' is about to come out, and that will bring hope to our tribe."

Sama means the sun.

Maha shook his head, turned around again, and pointed behind him with his thick fingers:

"It's not because of 'Sama'. Look, the snow behind is still thick, but the deeper you go into the mountain, the hotter it gets."

However, Maha was also puzzled by the changes in the mountains and forests.

Uro frowned, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly, looked at Maha, and then looked behind him: "How is it possible?"

At this time, Shali, who had been silent all the time, nodded slightly: "Maha is right, it is indeed getting hotter the further you go inside, and it is not because of 'Sama'."

"There is no sign of Sama showing up, and it is still snowing."

At this moment, although the three of them were a little confused, they had no choice but to go deeper.

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from the front.

And the oppressive silence was broken by the sound of branches breaking.

The three of them became alert instantly, gripped their weapons tightly, and stared ahead nervously.

Suddenly, a huge bear pounced out.

The giant bear's body was as big as a mountain, and its hair was as coarse and hard as steel needles.

Seeing this, Wu Luo shouted loudly and kicked the ground with both feet.

He actually jumped ten feet high and pounced towards the giant bear.

However, just as Uro approached the giant bear, a thick black aura suddenly emanated from the giant bear.

Immediately afterwards, a black wind blew up, blowing the surrounding trees to and fro.

Wu Luo paused in mid-air, thinking to himself, "This is not good!"

He tried to adjust direction to avoid the black wind, but it was too late.

He could only fall backwards and suddenly fell to the ground.

When Shali saw that Uro was almost knocked down by the giant bear, he rushed forward without hesitation.

But the moment he touched the black wind, Shali's eyes were blurred and he could not see anything clearly.

The giant bear also took the opportunity to wave its paws and slap towards Shali.

Chali was unable to dodge and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

He fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.

Maha God took a deep breath, quickly drew his bow and drew his arrow.

He locked onto the giant bear's eyes, then suddenly released the bowstring.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot straight into the giant bear's eyes like a meteor.

After the giant bear was shot, it roared in pain and let out an earth-shaking roar.

Taking advantage of the giant bear's panic, Uro and Maha quickly approached.

They cooperated well, one attacked from the left and the other from the right.

While swimming around, he kept shooting arrows at the giant bear.

Although the giant bear was ferocious, it gradually couldn't hold on under the combined attack of the three people.

Its movements became slower and slower, and the wounds on its body became more and more numerous.

Finally, under Uro's fatal blow,

After the giant bear let out a final roar, its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no movement anymore.

The three of them looked at the giant bear that had fallen to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

Chali struggled to stand up. His face was as pale as paper because he had been hit by the giant bear.

Maha walked up to the giant bear and ripped open its belly with his stone knife.

Then he easily took out the bear gall and handed it to Shali.

"Hurry up and swallow it. This bear bile can heal your wound."

Shali nodded slightly, took the bear gall and swallowed it without hesitation.

After a moment, he felt a warm current surging in his body, and the wound that was originally painful healed a lot in an instant.

"Let's do it, time is running out." Uro said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he drew a sharp stone knife from his waist, squatted down, and began to cut the bear skin with a focused look.

The stone knife rubbed against the bear skin, making a "hissing" sound. His arm muscles were tense and every cut was precise and powerful.

Kshatriya and Maha also acted quickly.

Chali also gritted his teeth, holding the bone dagger in both hands, and cut the bear meat with force.

Maha stood aside, holding the bow and arrow in his hand always ready to shoot in case of sudden attack from other wild beasts.

"Although there is a lot of bear meat and bear skin, it is still not enough for our tribe to survive the winter." Maha said helplessly while paying attention to the movements around him.

"Yeah, but it's better than nothing. Let's hide these first and continue going inside to see if we can find more prey." Shali responded.

The three men quickly and carefully hid the cut bear skin and bear meat in a hidden cave nearby.

After hiding, they brushed off the blood and dust on their bodies and walked towards the mountain again.

As we went deeper, the atmosphere in the forest became more and more eerie.

A burst of noisy sounds could be heard faintly in the originally silent forest.

The three of them looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

They slowed down and moved cautiously in the direction where the sound came from.

When they turned around a dense forest, the scene before them surprised them.

I saw many preys that were usually docile now had red eyes.

He fled madly towards the outside of the forest, as if he was avoiding something terrible.

"What's going on?" Uro whispered.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Never mind, let's take action while they are in a panic!" Shali said decisively, and he quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

A sharp arrow shot out like a meteor and accurately hit a fleeing hare.

Maha was not to be outdone. He quickly pulled the bow in his hand to its full length. With a whoosh, the sharp arrow shot out, and the prey fell to the ground.

In this prey riot, the three of them cooperated tacitly, constantly drawing their bows and arrows, shooting the fleeing prey.

As time went on, there was more and more prey under their feet.

However, due to the riots, much of the food they hunted disappeared without a trace, and they were still some distance away from their goal of leaving the mountains.

This also forced them to move forward.

At this time, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The originally cold forest became warm like spring.

However, this pleasant temperature did not bring them any joy, but instead made them feel uneasy.

The mountains are now barren.

"Why is this place so weird? It's abnormally warm and there's no snow." Uro whispered.

Shali narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the plants around him.

They all died, which is a normal thing in winter.

But what is abnormal now is that it seems that these plants have dried up too much.

"Not only has the snow melted, but you can see that these plants are not withering as normal in winter."

As Shali spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently touched a small tree beside him.

At the moment his fingers touched the tree trunk, the seemingly intact small tree suddenly "puffed" and turned into a pile of ashes and drifted away with the wind.

Shali's hand also froze in mid-air.

"Or, let's go back..."

"We are just a little bit away from the goal...it would be a shame if we leave like this." Maha gritted his teeth and spoke.

"But this place is too dangerous. Who knows what will happen next?" Uro was a little worried.

Chali lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said:

"Maha is right. We have come so far, and we don't know what we will encounter if we go further in."

"Why don't we just wait for the prey here? Maybe we can get more."

Maha nodded and said, "Yes, we will stay here. Those frightened prey may run over here."

Uro also nodded: "Okay."

So the three of them found a relatively secluded place to hide.

Not long after, a slight sound of footsteps came from far away.

The three of them instantly became alert, their bodies tensed as if facing a powerful enemy.

Then a wolf leaped out from the shadows of the woods.

It was extremely fast, as fast as lightning, and its silver fur shone brightly in the snow.

Uro's eyes widened instantly, and without hesitation he drew his bow and prepared to shoot.

His fingers gripped the bowstring tightly and his body leaned forward slightly.

Just as he was about to release the bowstring, Shali beside him reached out and suddenly pressed down his arm.

"Don't shoot!" Shali lowered his voice, his hands trembling slightly as he held Uro's arm tightly.

"This is not an ordinary prey, but a mountain god."

Uro's body shook, his fingers subconsciously loosened the bowstring, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He turned his head and looked at Shali: "What did you say? How could this be a mountain god?"

Chali's face was as pale as paper. He swallowed hard, a trace of despair in his eyes: "I won't be wrong. If we anger the mountain god, I'm afraid we will die."

Wu Luo's heart suddenly tightened and he broke out in a cold sweat.

A picture quickly flashed through his mind, it was the tragic situation of the neighboring tribe.

He had heard that the neighboring tribe had angered the mountain god, who sent down fire from the sky, burning all the people in the tribe to death, without anyone being spared.

Thinking of this, Uro's body couldn't help but tremble.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the wolf again.

This time, he found that although the wolf was no different from an ordinary wolf, there was a gleam of wisdom in its eyes.

Uro's breathing became rapid:

"We...what should we do?"

Shali frowned slightly: "Don't act rashly, let's retreat slowly."

Shali whispered, his hand still tightly grasping Uro's arm, afraid that he would do something impulsive.

The three men retreated slowly and cautiously, but they never dared to take their eyes off the wolf.

They walked very lightly, fearing that any noise would anger the mountain god.

But the "mountain god" didn't seem to care about them at all and went straight into the depths of the mountains.

Not long after, three more nimble creatures rushed out from the woods.

There is also wisdom and intelligence in their eyes.

The three creatures also headed towards the mountain and disappeared from the sight of the three people in the blink of an eye.

Shali's eyes widened and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he finally came to his senses and turned to look at Uro and Maha: "What is in the mountain? The beasts all ran out, but the mountain gods ran in."

Uro shook his head slightly: "I don't know either."

Maha said, "No matter what happened in the mountains, we can't take any risks."

"Our first priority is to find enough food for the tribe, but not to lose our lives because of curiosity."

Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from deep inside the mountain.

The air was shaking, and the bodies of the three people couldn't help but tremble.

"What's that sound?" Uro's eyes widened.

Shali's face turned pale instantly: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."

As they were stunned, they saw the sky was distorted by an invisible force.

The sky was almost collapsing, with huge dark clouds rolling in, blocking out the sun.

Then, a giant wolf, whose size was comparable to that of a mountain, slowly appeared in their sight.

Uro cried out, his body trembling uncontrollably, a strong sense of fear welling up in his heart:

"This... This is the mountain god we just saw!" (End of this chapter)
