The snow, as dense as Gagabeast fur, had now beco smaller. It was lazily drifting down, like a great snowfall from a few days ago that was now spent.
Ji Nuan was sitting on Xiu Yan’s back, dressed in thick beast skinned clothing crafted by Aunt Naima and Aunt Ge Rou, a beast skin cape draped over her. Only her eyes were peeping out.
"Little Ji Nuan, it would be better if you stayed in the tribe and let the orcs go instead, it’s highly dangerous!" Grandma Shaman said, taking Ji Nuan’s hand, her worry apparent.
Ji Nuan strenuously pulled down the beast skin covering her mouth: "Don’t worry, there are so many beasts protecting , what beast can hurt ?"
As the well-prepared orcs heard what Ji Nuan said, it was as if they had taken so kind of an elixir, all cheerfully roaring in unison; "Shaman, rest assured we are all strong orcs, we won’t let the little cub get hurt."
They all looked extrely proud and insufferably arrogant.
Giving an annoyed glance at the rowdy young ones around her, Grandma Shaman could only let go of Ji Nuan’s paw: "You must be careful yourself."
She patted Xiu Yan’s wolf head: "Protect little Ji Nuan well."
The wolf head gave a slight nod, its chilly voice replied in a low tone: "Rest assured, I won’t let anything happen to her."
The heavy gate was slowly lowered by the strength of the orcs, making a "creeeak" sound, and ultimately, with a "boom!", landed on the ground.
Xiu Yan imdiately rushed out like a wolf leading the pack, with the thunderous army of orcs closely following behind him.
Chief Ge Xing waved a goodbye as he watched the orcs leave. Then the heavy gate was slowly raised with the heavy "creeeak" sound again.

"Brother Xiu Yan, how long will it take for us to reach Liangshan Tribe at this pace?" Ji Nuan asked while leaning on Xiu Yan’s back, with her head covered in beast skin.
His strong legs continuously galloping through the snow, Xiu Yan thought for a mont: "At this speed, we can reach the Liangshan Tribe by tomorrow morning."
Not far away on the back of a black and yellow tiger, a small black snake was coiled up.
Ya Li was filled with resentnt: "Why did I have to co here too!"
Mo Qi’s massive tiger head retreated a bit: "Shaman Benny told to bring you too. He said you could be of so help in case sothing happens."
The sound of gritted teeth could be heard from the back, "So that’s the reason I was disturbed from my hibernation?"
God knows it took such a hard ti to finally find so peace. Ya Li had found a quiet corner and was planning to hibernate. But then he was thrown over by Shaman Benny, running to another tribe to save beasts in this freezing snow!

"Percy, when will the Clan Leader be back?"
"Woo woo woo~ I’m so scared!"
"Will we get eaten by the vicious beasts?"
The atmosphere in the pitch-black cave was very depressing.
The vicious beasts had not eaten for days and were very violent, occasionally ramming the giant rock blocking the cave’s entrance, making ferocious howls, pulling at the heartstrings of the Orcs.
Percy sat at the outermost part of the cave. If his father was not there, he must do his best to protect the tribe. Even though the palm of his hand was trembling, he still tried to pacify his tribe: "Everyone, hold on for a few more days. Father may have just reached the Watson Tribe. He might be on his way back now. Let’s hold on."
"Shaman, drink so water!" Ped’s wife Dena ca over with so lted snowwater in a large leaf. The shaman had been a little weak for the past few days, unable to eat, which worried the tribe.
The response to her was not the sound of weak panting but a chilling silence.
