Chapter 263 Winter is Coming
Inside the Huangying Cave.
"If what he said is really true..."
After everyone sat down, Huang Ying asked, "What are your thoughts?"
"They possess superpowers, yet are controlled by the Beast King Capital... that world is indeed stronger than this one," Mo Li said.
"Not very good," Xuanmo said.
“Hmm…” Leng Ye replied, “It’s not very good. Although it has superpowers, it’s not free.”
After sitting down, he picked up a piece of fruit, took a bite, and continued, "It's not as good as here. We can do whatever we want."
“Once you become the Beast King, you can command all the tribes in the entire Beast World. Such a world must be full of all kinds of struggles,” Shu Ning said.
“Ningning is right.” Mo Li patted Shu Ning’s head, a hint of worry and relief flashing in her golden eyes. “That place is full of dangers, there’s nothing good about it.”
"Oh? You're all here."
Yan Ling came in from outside and said, "I was just looking for you guys."
After he sat down, he looked at them and asked, "How is he? Has he woken up yet?"
"He's awake," Leng Ye said.
"How was it? How was it?" He turned around, his eyes suddenly brightening as he asked, "What did he say?"
"He said that in their world there is a Beast King Capital, the biggest of which is called the Beast King, and all tribes have to listen to him," Leng Ye explained simply.
"That's so cool!" Yan Ling said after hearing this. "Anything else?" he continued to ask.
“If any tribe disobeys his orders, they will be punished,” Mo Li said. “In serious cases, a large number of mutant beasts will be sent to hunt them down; in milder cases, they may be sent here.”
"So you really think this place is a criminal detention center?" Yan Ling rolled her eyes.
“That’s right,” Huang Ying said, a glint of light flashing in his brown eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, “We don’t have much food here to begin with. For ordinary orcs, it’s not easy to hunt a wild beast.”
“That’s right,” Xuanmo agreed. “These abandoned orcs already possess supernatural abilities. If this continues, it will be even more difficult for the orcs here to find food.”
“That’s right!” Yan Ling said. “The cold season is almost here again, and there are even fewer wild animals to hunt. Every year at this time, a large number of orcs don’t survive the long cold season.”
After he finished speaking, the cave fell into a brief silence, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
"If that's the case, why not prepare in advance and hunt enough food to get through the winter?" Shu Ning said. "Since the temperature is so low in the cold season, the food shouldn't spoil, right?"
“How could we not know that?” Huangying said. “When the cold season arrives, the first thing all orcs will face is the temperature.”
"Even with ample food prepared, no one can simply eat their fill and find a safe place to sleep like the snake and dragon clans. Most beastmen don't have that ability, and the food they prepare is never enough."
“It’s not that they’re lazy, it’s just that finding food is inherently difficult,” he added.
"In addition, during the cold season, many orcs die of cold because the temperature is too low when they sleep at night, or they freeze to death if they fall into a ravine while foraging for food during the day and cannot escape."
"It's not easy for anyone," Yan Ling said with emotion. "Fortunately, everyone here is of high status, and the food will be provided by others."
"However, when I set off yesterday, I already saw that many of the mountain peaks below had already started to freeze over."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning had an idea. Her space was already very large, so large that she herself could not accurately sense it.
Moreover, they had previously "studied" the climate of the wolf pack and the North.
It is not only suitable for plant growth, but should also be able to support animal survival.
The fact that plants have grown means that the air inside is now suitable for biological growth.
In that case, animals should also be able to move around inside.
"It's more than just freezing."
Just then, a flapping sound came from outside. The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a winged orc flying from the sky towards them.
As he landed, he retracted his wings and rubbed his arms together.
"It was already snowing when I came in." The first thing he saw when he entered was the female next to Mo Li.
A dark glint flashed in his eyes. He paused for a moment, then found a seat and sat down.
"Xiao Yu?" Shu Ning's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Xiao Yu.
She didn't remember Xiao Yu having any connection with the Lion Clan, and she noticed that Mo Li and Xuan Mo's reactions were not unusual.
She suspected that her memory had not fully recovered.
"Hmm," Xiao Yu replied calmly, though a complex emotion stirred within him.
"It's already snowing outside?" Shu Ning asked in surprise.
“Yes, it’s already snowing on many of the higher mountain peaks, but not at the bottom,” Xiao Yu replied.
"Why are you here?" Huangying asked.
"What, we have guests here, aren't you welcoming me?" Xiao Yu said, looking at Leng Ye and Yan Ling, two orcs with extraordinary auras, opposite him.
"Stop with that nonsense, get serious," Huang Ying said.
"I came here to remind you to prepare for winter, as this year's cold season is expected to be colder than usual and may last longer," Xiao Yu said.
"Xiao Yu, how did you know?" Shu Ning asked.
“He can predict the weather,” Huang Ying said.
"Impressive, Xiao Yu," Mo Li praised.
Xiao Yu did not refute it; he could indeed make some predictions about the weather based on his own observation and judgment.
“The weather at the mountaintop is earlier than at the foot of the mountain,” he said. “Although they are not exactly the same, the only difference between the two places is the altitude, so you can tell the difference.” Xiao Yu said.
"Normally at this time, the mountaintops haven't even started to snow yet, but this year it's come so early."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning recalled an ancient saying: "In April, when all the flowers in the human world have faded, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom."
“I see,” she said.
“If this year’s cold season is longer than usual, then indeed… we need to prepare more than usual.” Huang Ying frowned, his expression grave.
He then turned to the lion beast beside him and instructed, "Spread this message and make sure the orcs of the tribe are well prepared."
"Yes." The lion-orc heard this, turned around, and left.
"Let's go back tomorrow," Xuanmo said to Shu Ning and Mo Li, looking at the already dark sky outside the cave.
“Yes,” Shu Ning replied, “We also need to make more preparations.”
"Why don't we go back now? Let's tell Mother and the others too," Shu Ning said. "I'll take you back."
"Ningning," Mo Li reminded her, looking at her seriously, "Hmm? What did you promise me before?"
Shu Ning pursed her lower lip and nodded.
Remembering what I heard from the orcs in the prison today, I suddenly understood why Mo Li told her to use teleportation less.
Thinking of this, she gave him a grateful look.
Mo Li patted her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted as she turned to look at Xiao Yu.
