Chapter 255 Encounter with a Superpowered Beast

"Alright then, everyone go," Shu Ning said.

After they finished eating, Mo Li took the dishes out to wash. Worried that the two of them would leave first, he turned back and said, "Wait for me to come back soon."

"Okay, don't worry," Shu Ning said, then checked the items in her storage space and packed everything she might need.

"Leave Ningning to me, you two should have your own things to do." Leng Ye came in from outside and just saw Mo Li carrying clean pots and pans.

“No need.” Xuan Mo glanced at Leng Ye.

"Without me, do you know how to get there?"

“Of course,” Xuanmo said.

“You only know how to get to the North, but you don’t know the specific locations,” Leng Ye rolled his eyes.

Shu Ning sensed that the atmosphere was starting to get awkward, and she said, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

“That’s more like it,” Leng Ye said, looking at Xuan Mo and saying, “Without me leading the way, you probably wouldn’t have been able to find it for several days.”

Then, leading a few orcs who had been to the North, he shouted, "Let's go!"

"Yes," the orcs replied.

Begin your journey north.

"This road feels somewhat familiar," Shu Ning said, looking at the scenery before her.

"Oh? Ningning has been here before?" Mo Li asked.

"I don't remember," Shu Ning said. "Maybe I came here with Xiao Chong before."

“Ningning did come here before,” Leng Ye said from the side, “but she was too young then to remember.”

He displayed a proud expression in front of her two beastly husbands.

Xuanmo and Moli saw his expression and a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.

"It's right there up ahead, Ningning saved me under that big tree."

A moment later, Leng Ye pointed to a tall tree in the distance and said.

"Ningning, has anything come to mind?" he asked, looking at Shu Ning.

Shu Ning glanced in that direction and seemed to have such a memory, but it was very vague, like a dream, giving people a sense of emptiness.

Shu Ning thought for a moment and said, "I don't quite remember."

"It's alright," Leng Ye smiled. "Just remember it."

He appeared indifferent on the surface, but a hint of heartache flashed deep in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the group rested for a while and then continued their journey.

Night had fallen when they reached the northern border.

The grass here has turned yellow and withered, and the few trees that remain have lost their leaves, leaving only bare patches.

Although it was night, more and more dark clouds could be seen gathering in the sky.

A cool breeze swept by, carrying withered leaves and dry grass from the ground.

“This is it,” Leng Ye said, white breath coming out of his mouth.

"It's a bit colder here than when I was with the wolf pack." Shu Ning rubbed her hands together, mimicking the surrounding environment to create a similar atmosphere for her own space.

The temperature difference between day and night is large here, so planting fruits and vegetables in the space will make it easier for them to bear sweet fruit.

She looked at the place with only a few trees in front of her, and especially at the river not far away, which still felt somewhat familiar.

"Cough cough..." Shu Ning covered her nose and reached out to shield herself from the dust.

Suddenly she felt warmth on her shoulder. She looked up and saw that it was Mo Li draping a fur coat over her shoulders.

He stood in front of her, shielding her from the wind and sand while draping a cloak over her shoulders.

"Thank you," Shu Ning said, peeking out.

"It's alright," Mo Li said with a smile, holding Shu Ning in her arms.

"Come with me," Xuanmo said, raising his voice.

"Xuanmo, you... have been here before too?" Shu Ning asked Xuanmo in confusion.

“Hmm.” Xuanmo recalled the cave he had discovered nearby when he was with Yiyuan and Hanshe.

Then, the group followed Xuanmo into the wind.

A moment later.

“This is it,” Xuanmo said, and walked in first.

At this moment, Shu Ning turned on her flashlight to illuminate the cave.

"What is this? It looks even brighter than the glowing pearls of the Eastern Sea!" Leng Ye exclaimed in surprise as he walked up to Shu Ning and examined it.

"This is... for lighting," Shu Ning explained, noticing that he wasn't the only one looking at him with surprise.

"The lighting principle is the same as that of pearls. It needs to absorb sunlight during the day and will only be visible at night. It's just that you can control when it lights up and turn it off when you're not using it, so it can be used for a longer period of time."

"Oh?" Leng Ye took it and examined it carefully before shining the light in the direction of the orcs.

"You guys shouldn't just stand around, go out and get some firewood."

Upon seeing the bright light, several orcs closed their eyes and shielded them with their hands.

"yes!"

Just as the group was about to go out to find firewood, it started to rain heavily.

"My lord, it's raining outside," said the orc who ran back inside, patting the water droplets off his clothes. "There's no dry firewood."

"Sigh, the weather here is so unpredictable," Leng Ye said, frowning.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Shu Ning and the others lighting a campfire with firewood.

"Where...where did you find the firewood?" he asked again, walking over in disbelief.

“Hmm…” Shu Ning glanced at Xuan Mo.

She couldn't very well say that she took it out of her spatial storage, could she?

“It’s what I had left over from before,” Xuan Mo said in a low voice as he picked up a piece of firewood and put it into the fire.

“Oh… Xuanmo, you have something good but you didn’t bring it out sooner.” Leng Ye said, sitting down next to him.

Shu Ning saw the orcs sitting at the cave entrance, wringing out the water from their clothes.

"There's some firewood here, take some and build one," she said to the orcs at the entrances of the caves.

They glanced at Leng Ye, and after receiving his permission, they felt embarrassed to come over and take some over.

At this moment, Leng Ye got up to retrieve the package he had brought.

"Mo Li, Xuan Mo, my space has already formed an environment similar to this, we can go back tomorrow," Shu Ning said, leaning closer to Mo Li and Xuan Mo.

"Hmm." A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Li's golden eyes. "Okay," he replied.

"Ningning, here, eat this." Leng Ye said, handing the things he had brought to her.

"Thank you," Shu Ning said, accepting the bag of food he handed her.

"Leng Ye, try what I prepared." She took out some dried beast meat from her spatial storage and handed it to him.

"Okay." Leng Ye stood up and took it. "Hmm, really good."

After a moment, the group fell silent.

At this moment, Xuanmo noticed that Shu Ning was sleepy, so he pulled her into his arms and let her lean on him.

"Go to sleep," he whispered.

Inside the cave, two fires burned, while the rain outside continued to fall, albeit less.

Inside the cave, only the breathing of a few orcs sleeping and the occasional crackling of burning matches could be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of rain outside the cave grew louder and more intense once again.

The few people sleeping soundly inside the cave had grown accustomed to the sound of the pouring rain.

Just then, accompanied by the sound of rain, a heavy footstep rushed towards this direction, stepping on the rainwater that had flowed into a stream.

They stopped abruptly upon reaching the outside of the cave.

As he stepped into the cave, Mo Li, who had been sleeping just moments before, suddenly sensed danger and abruptly opened his eyes.
