Chapter 475
It’s Sliding Off
The blizzard worsened. It was snowing more than before.
Compared to the salt flats, the blizzard was not as bad at the village. The warriors who had lived through the storm at the salt mines were a lot calmer.
Shao Xuan rested for several days. When he was completely healed, he walked out of his house in the snow to his designated training grounds.
No one lived here and the soil was not suitable for agriculture. It was just an empty piece of land where children hung around sometimes. Previously, it was for the younger once to practice archery and chopping. In winter, even the advanced totemic warriors didn’t want to get out of their houses, let alone the kids. Shao Xuan was alone in this vast piece of land.
Since no one came here, the tribesmen did not clear the snow in this area to conserve labour. The layer of snow here was taller than Shao Xuan and growing.
Shao Xuan followed the path that had been cleared until the end. He saw the white wall of snow and took a deep breath.
He focused on the totemic power within, though it did not surge manically like when he had an enemy ahead. He did not need to unleash it with so much explosiveness either, or exceed his own limits.
“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.
“E-Elder?!”
