Chapter 110 Before Winter Comes
Even when they arrived in Ankang Town, the archer was still trembling.
Fear swept through its mind.
Even though the other team members were standing next to him, it couldn't alleviate his fear.
Alex was furious. "You have a mother and children to support at home. If anything happens to you, it'll be like the pillar of the family falling. How could you do that?"
Lin De couldn't help but chime in, "If I hadn't spotted the flames you left behind when you burned the forest, and quickly asked Lord Lin to save you, you'd be finished, don't you know?"
The archers were scolded and didn't dare to say anything. Lin Muqiu had to stop them repeatedly before he could persuade them to calm down.
The archer felt a surge of fear.
It was the first time he truly felt how dangerous winter was!
This winter was definitely more dangerous than usual, as it was not dangerous until autumn.
The rest of the team members remained silent.
They decided to ask a craftsman to make an electric lamp tomorrow before going out.

The news that someone almost died outside spread like wildfire.
For a time, teams with spare money hired mages at high prices to prevent any accidents.
If the weather is bad and there is no time to go back, at least you can get back to the city quickly.
Many people paid a lot of money to buy light bulbs, which triggered a craze for light bulb production.
However, even with the help of light bulbs, many people still can't stand this weird weather.
In the wild, a team.
The assassin couldn't help but gasp. "What kind of awful weather is this! I've been searching for over an hour and haven't found a single animal. I'm freezing to death!"
Another team member complained, "Forget animals, there's not even a blade of grass! It's completely barren!"
The captain rubbed his hands, feeling quite cold himself. "Hold on a little longer! Winter might be approaching, and many animals will have gone into hibernation!"
"I just can't hold on!" another swordsman raged. "I should have bought some cotton-padded clothes earlier. Instead, you all insisted on waiting for the Lord's tailor shop to open. And the weather's getting colder, and Lord Lin hasn't sold any yet!"
The captain also felt a little embarrassed.
It was he who came up with the idea.
The main reason is that the economy is not particularly abundant, so of course we try to save as much as possible.
Who would have thought that there was no movement from Lord Lin yet!
The other team members also began to express their dissatisfaction: "My attributes have dropped! How many potions will it take to make up for this!"
"What a loss! If I had known, I wouldn't have gone hunting today!"
"Captain, let's go back! This isn't our only business after all! We can just go back and sell some handmade products!"
The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Let's vote by raising our hands. If more people want to go back first, then we'll go back first."
The team members began to vote in groups of three or four.
Finally, they decided to turn back.
On the way, I saw that the members of other hunting teams were wrapped up tightly, wearing cotton coats and cotton pants, but they were also freezing.
The clothes of those people were almost all sewn by their wives. They were just ordinary white clothes and seemed to be of no use.
The two teams looked at each other and felt a sense of mutual respect.
It turns out it’s so cold even with thick clothes!
If this is the case in late autumn, how terrible it will be in winter!

The guards also noticed something unusual.
"What's going on? Why can't I ride it anymore?" David circled around his own turkey, and was confused when he saw it running away.
The turkey clucked twice, hid in the corner, and lay there motionless in an emo manner.
David resolutely ran to ask Augustine, "Sir, what's going on?"
Augustine stroked his chin, "I guess...it's cold."
David was stunned and looked at the turkey beside him. He saw that it was shivering violently and shaking like a sieve.
This made David very distressed. After all, this was his companion who had been with him day and night! Not a family member, but better than family!
Without saying a word, he immediately lit the firewood pile.
He could freeze himself, but he couldn't let his turkey suffer!
When the turkey saw the fire was on, it became anxious and ran around on the ground, cackling. It looked at David with resentment, as if it was looking at a scumbag.
That look seemed to be saying, "Oh, you scumbag, you called me Sweetie when I was useful before, but now that I don't let you ride me, you want to roast me. You are so cruel!"
Who among the chickens understands? Who can heal my miserable life?
David got anxious too. He grabbed the turkey by the neck and threw it into the fire. "Why are you running? Do you think I can eat you?"
Turkey: It’s not impossible.
Looking at the tearful turkey, David wanted to laugh and patiently explained to it, "You are my partner, not food, do you understand? It is the time I spend with you and the memories we share that make you so precious. I will never eat you."
In fact, ever since they had their turkey companion, the guards have never eaten chicken products again.
Because they always think of their own mounts, which are all so cute and of the same kind.
The turkey stretched out its neck, still aggrieved, its eyes seemed to say:
Really? I don't believe it.
It clucked twice more, tilted its head back and yelled at the top of its lungs, but no one knew what it was trying to say.
After a while, the other team members came to report the situation, and Augustine and David finally understood what was going on.
"Captain, I found that my turkey can't breathe fire anymore. When the weather gets cold, its ability to breathe fire also weakens."
"Not only can they not breathe fire, but their quality has even been lowered. Some turkeys can't even support a person's weight and are impossible to ride."
"Well, it's actually normal. The natural disasters in the summer accelerated the turkey's frenzy, which is why it's so powerful. Winter is coming, and it should be recuperating, so it's normal for it to weaken. It's just that we haven't had close contact with animals before, so we don't understand."
"Woo, woo, I feel so sorry for my little chicken. He just lies there all day, freezing cold. It's so pitiful. I won't be going on any missions these days, and I can't live without him."
"Are you sure you're not looking for an excuse to take time off?"
“…”
Augustine listened and sighed.
Previously, there was a buff that accelerated growth in the summer, not only for plants but also for animals. Now the same applies in winter as well.
There are fewer plants and fewer animals.
They used to think that the reason there were fewer animals was because they were hibernating, but now it seems that the reason there are fewer animals may be because their abilities have declined, so they all hide.
Although fewer animals is not a good thing for hunting, it is not necessarily a bad thing if you think about it from another perspective.
If you can find the animal's habitat, wouldn't it be easy to capture it?
After all, animals have lost their ability to resist.
His eyes lit up and he quickly sent a message to Lin Muqiu.
As long as it can help Lord Lin, he is willing to take the lead in doing anything.
"My little chicken!"
The voice next to him was so loud that it hurt Augustine's eardrums.
David pounced on the turkey, hugging its plump body and preparing to walk out. "I shouldn't have stopped you from eating chestnuts a few days ago to help you maintain your figure and muscles. Come on, I'll take you to eat your fill! Just rest well during the winter, I'll take care of you!"
When the real little chicken and fat turkey heard the word "eat", they flapped their wings excitedly, creating a hurricane, clucking, and put their head against David's neck, making peace with him as before.
Augustine: “…”
It's really hard to imagine the mental state of the players.

【There are still 10 days left until winter. 】
Lin Muqiu turned off the notification of the lord system, took another look at Augustine's message, and fell into deep thought.
It seems that we really need to speed up the preparations for winter supplies stores. Not only do people need to keep warm, but even the animals raised by humans need to keep warm.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take down jackets as an example, only she can supply them on a large scale.
It was because she controlled the breeding business of the entire town. She was the only one who raised large numbers of ducks and geese, and collected their feathers.
So she immediately issued a notice:
[Recruiting 300 tailors to urgently produce a batch of down jackets. Tailors will have priority in purchasing, with a base salary of 80 copper coins per day, and a commission based on performance.]
[The winter store will be released in 5 days. We look forward to your visit. ]
When the news came out, the townspeople were in an uproar.
The long-awaited winter protection store is finally coming out!
