Chapter 475 (2/2)

“Yeah, they left this morning.” Zheng Luo looked hopeful but worried. “I hope they can arrive successfully.”

“We can only hope.” The shamaness looked at Shao Xuan, then turned to walk down the hill with Zheng Luo. Shao Xuan could walk easily in the snow but here, one was injured and the other very old. They could not withstand such cold.

After walking a while, Shao Xuan was already sweating. He rested to catch his breath and then continued.

There was already a three-meter wide path where he passed. All the snow had been pushed aside to reveal the dirt underneath. However, since it was snowing, a thin layer of white soon formed again.

Poof---

In front, due to the constant pushing, the snow had been packed solid and arched upwards.

The more he walked forward, the harder the snow wall was compressed. Every step grew more difficult.

The snow crunched as they were compared with every step.

At the foot of the hill, the patrol team carried shovels used for shoveling snow. They rested at a temporary resting area

This was actually a three-meter wide square. They first dug a narrow walkway by the road, then shoveled away a square.

All twenty warriors squeezed into this square, leaning against the compact snow walls.

The wind didn’t reach them as much here, and it was not as cold.

“When will this weird weather stop?” complained one.

“I don’t know. After sweeping this part, I’ve gotta go home to shovel my roof or my house is going to collapse soon.”

“I heard this is a disaster they hadn’t seen for hundreds and thousands of years. No one knows how the other areas are doing either.”

“Not just thousands, maybe tens of thousands!”

The patrol team debated within their temporary shelter.

As he spoke, a chunk of snow fell on the warrior sitting against a snow wall.

“Aargh!” He quickly brushed off the snow on his head. It didn’t hurt but it was very, very cold.

Everyone else looked up at the wall. Why did it fall so suddenly? Was it blown by the wind?

“Be careful, more of it is falling!”

Little lumps of snow gathered around the walls as if someone was pushing.

Everyone quickly avoided it.

“What’s that sound?!”

Poof---- Crunch crunch---

The sounds grew clearer.

Everyone forgot about the cold, merely staring in the same direction.

Rumble!

The snow wall cracked. They saw snow flowing down the hill.

“This is bad! Run!”

Some of them had seen avalanches when they travelled further to the snowy mountains. They heard that a strong impact or loud noise could trigger this. Did something similar happen at the tribe?

That’s not supposed to happen. The hill wasn’t that tall, its slope wasn’t too steep. An avalanche was not likely.

No matter what, they had to run.

All twenty ran along the path they cleared. After a distance away, they turned to look.

The square they previously rested in was already filled with snow. They saw a large, white worm wriggling down the hill. It squirmed over little by little, there was even a rhythm.

All of them watched with widened eyes. What was going on? They stood for a while until they sensed Shao Xuan’s presence.
