The two kept their heads down and hurried on their way.

At night, they would take out a tent and rest in the wild. Because the temperature dropped to only a few degrees at night, Shen Miao was shivering from the cold, so Qing Chen had to transform into a fox and let her sleep under his belly.

Before Shen Miao wakes up during the day, Qing Chen will quickly transform back into human form.

Several days passed without Shen Miao noticing anything.

That night, after Shen Miao fell asleep, Qing Chen entered the tent as usual, transformed into a fox, and consciously served as Shen Miao's pillow and blanket.

Suddenly, Shen Miao frowned and began to mutter in her sleep. Her hands and feet started to move, which startled Qing Chen. He stared intently at Shen Miao, his mind racing as he considered various possible solutions.

If Shen Miao asks him why he's here, how should he answer? Should he say he was half asleep and accidentally crawled in? Would Shen Miao believe him?

Qingchen's expression was serious, as if he were contemplating the critical question of the survival of the Beast Domain.

But Shen Miao did not wake up.

Qingchen was on tenterhooks all night, and Shen Miao didn't sleep well either. When she woke up the next day, she had a huge dark circle under her eyes. Looking at Qingchen, she saw that he also had a dark circle under his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?" Shen Miao asked, puzzled.

Qingchen glanced at her, his expression unreadable, and uttered a faint monosyllable from his nose before running to the nearby stream to wash up.

Shen Miao had no choice but to ask the snow wolf, whose expression was somewhat indescribable.

Should it tell Shen Miao that Qing Chen had been sneaking into the tent while she was asleep these past few days and not coming out until dawn?

But thinking of Qingchen's terrifying martial prowess and his cold face, Snow Wolf dared not speak.

"I don't know either."

Shen Miao gave an "oh" and sat on a large rock to the side, lost in thought.

She recalled her dream from last night and felt a chill run down her spine. Was it because she was too worried that she dreamt of a barren, desolate landscape?

When Qingchen returned, his expression had returned to normal. Seeing Shen Miao sitting in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Miao asked impatiently, "I had a dream last night that many places turned into red soil. Is this an omen?"

"Don't take dreams seriously," Qingchen comforted her.

Shen Miao realized she was overthinking things, so she shook her head and put the matter behind her. The two people and the wolf continued on their way.

As she walked along, Shen Miao could feel that the temperature was getting higher and higher, the roadside plants were becoming fewer and fewer, and there were hardly any trees on the mountain, let alone any living creatures.

So when they saw several orcs hurrying by, they couldn't help but call out to them.

Where are you going?

The orcs looked up at Shen Miao and the others, wiped their sweat, and said, "Go somewhere else. You can't survive here. You should go back. This whole area is doomed."

Shen Miao asked, "Where did you come from? If we keep going forward, will there be any good places?"

The orc shook his head and said sadly, "No, the land ahead has all been turned into this. We came from that side. To be honest, I'm not lying to you, you will definitely regret going forward."

After saying that, the orcs hurriedly left.

The two men and the wolf were left behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Shen Miao said with difficulty, "Did you hear that? They said things have gone bad over there too. The dream I had was about the easternmost part of this land."

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence," Qingchen comforted her.

Shen Miao was incredibly shocked, feeling that explaining it as a coincidence was far too simplistic.

At the same time, the sleeping beast god slowly opened his eyes, which were as dark as the night.

It seemed to sense something, and its eyes stared straight to the east.

"Two overconfident little thieves!"

Contemptuous words were uttered from the mouth of the Beast God.

The guards, sensing the awakening of the Beast God, all appeared and knelt down on one knee before the Beast God, their expressions filled with excitement.

"There is something I need you to do now," the Beast God gave his first command upon waking.

Here, Shen Miao and Qing Chen bypassed the red ground and continued on their way.

The Beast God still hasn't appeared, which means they have to keep searching.

That day, Shen Miao and her companions were traveling when suddenly they heard a loud tremor ahead. Shen Miao was bewildered. "What's going on?"

Qingchen pressed his ear to the ground and listened, then said, "It seems that some beasts are coming, and there are quite a few of them."

Only a large herd of animals passing by together could cause such a commotion.

Shen Miao quickly said, "Then let's make way."

They dared not confront the large herd of beasts, so the two moved to the side, with Shen Miao even telling the snow wolf not to block the road.

The snow wolf stood there for a while, then suddenly ran over and said to the two of them, "Don't move, wait here. I'll be right back. Remember, don't move!"

After saying that, the snow wolf took off running.

Shen Miao looked completely bewildered and asked Qing Chen, "Where is it going? Don't let it run into the herd of beasts."

Even if the snow wolf is powerful, it will still be defeated when facing a pack of beasts.

But she spoke too late; the snow wolf had already run far away. Shen Miao simply stopped caring and found a place to sit down with Qing Chen.

The two chatted as they waited for the snow wolf to return.

As time ticked by, the herd of beasts did not arrive, and it was unclear whether they had changed direction or not. The snow wolves also did not return.

Silence returned to the surroundings, as if nothing had happened.

"Where did this snow wolf go? It's getting more and more unreliable as it gets older." Shen Miao couldn't help but curse a couple of times as she waited impatiently.

But I was also extremely worried, fearing that the snow wolf might encounter some danger.

Qingchen frowned slightly, looking thoughtfully in the direction the snow wolf had just left.

The snow wolf's behavior just now was a bit strange. Although this wolf is not very old, it is not fond of moving around. If it can lie down, it will never stand up.

So, what did it think of in that instant?

The two were lost in their own thoughts. Another quarter of an hour passed, and the snow wolf finally returned, but it was followed by several dark-colored horses.

Shen Miao asked in surprise, "Snow Wolf, where have you been? Where did you get these horses?"

The snow wolf held its chin high, looking smug. "Didn't a herd of wild horses just pass by? I went and caught a few. Here, take them. Get on the horses, and you'll definitely be much faster."

Snow Wolf gave one horse to Shen Miao and the others, and kept one for itself. It was unclear what Snow Wolf, who had maintained its beast form for so many years, needed a horse for.

After obtaining the horse, Shen Miao was not as happy as expected. Instead, she frowned and scolded, "Snow Wolf, do you know your mistake?"

"Where did I go wrong?" the snow wolf asked indignantly.

Shen Miao laughed, "You ran away all by yourself, leaving us behind. Do you know how worried we'll be?"

The snow wolf muttered under its breath, "But I greeted you all."
