Black General, wearing a thick coat made of the fur of an ordinary creature, walked with difficulty through the vast snowfield.
Each step leaves a deep footprint on the pristine white snow, like a marker leading to an unknown destination.
As he walked forward, a long trail of footprints quickly appeared behind him, resembling a winding snake trail.
Not long after, Hei Dashuai finally arrived at Gu Lingxiao's shelter.
He raised his hand and gently knocked on the heavy wooden door.
The knocking sound was particularly crisp and loud in the quiet snowy night.
Upon hearing the knock, Gu Lingxiao inside the room reached out and used light element to open the door.
Inside the shelter, it was warm and cozy, and Xiaoyao Jun, Feiyan, and Aoli were sitting around the roaring fireplace, enjoying the warmth of the fire.
When they saw Commander Hei enter, everyone nodded to him.
Hei Dashuai shook off the snow from his body and then found an empty seat to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "So all we have to do now is get through this long, cold winter?"
However, Fei Yan shook her head and replied in a solemn tone, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Even if we manage to survive this winter, leaving this world will still be fraught with difficulties!"
The carefree lord beside him also sighed and said with regret, "Alas, if we had been more decisive back then and sent a few of our kind to try to leave this world first, perhaps the situation would have been much better. At least we wouldn't be in this situation now, completely unable to send any messages out."
For a moment, a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the room, and everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.
However, amidst this tense atmosphere, Gu Lingxiao calmly took out a jar of carefully brewed fruit wine from behind him.
With graceful movements, he picked up several wooden cups and poured wine into each of the various creatures, saying with a smile, "Come, come, gentlemen, try my first brew. What do you think of it?"
After speaking, Gu Lingxiao slowly picked up a glass, first gently sniffing the unique aroma of fruit and wine emanating from the glass, and then slowly put it into his mouth.
After savoring the dish for a moment, he nodded in satisfaction and murmured softly, "Hmm...not bad!"
Seeing Gu Lingxiao's leisurely and carefree appearance, Hei Dashuai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
They were in deep trouble, completely trapped in this mysterious and dangerous world, but this guy was still in the mood to drink. Could it be that he really had some brilliant plan?
So, Black General hurriedly stepped forward and asked expectantly, "Hey Veru, you haven't thought of a solution to the problem, have you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingxiao helplessly spread his hands, shrugged, and replied, "I'm really sorry, I'm also at a loss for the time being."
In fact, Gu Lingxiao knew perfectly well why he was able to remain calm and unperturbed in such a difficult situation—fear and panic would not help them get out of their predicament, but would only make the situation worse.
Therefore, instead of panicking, it's better to face reality calmly and think rationally about how to deal with it.
Of course, this is also related to Gu Lingxiao's own personality.
Seeing this, the originally hopeful Black General suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, looking extremely disappointed.
But now that things have come to this, it seems there is no other way but to continue racking our brains to come up with a solution.
However, at that very moment, the previously noisy scene suddenly fell silent, as if time had frozen.
All the creatures present, whether it was Gu Lingxiao, or Xiaoyao Jun, Hei Dashuai, and Feiyan who were having a heated conversation, stopped what they were doing and what they were saying, and all turned their gazes in the same direction.
Gu Lingxiao smiled and said, "The troublemakers have arrived. Gentlemen, will you handle this yourselves, or do you need me to take care of it?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoyao Jun stepped forward and replied, "We can handle it ourselves!" After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation, his steps firm and swift.
Seeing this, Fei Yan and Hei Da Shuai followed without hesitation and quickly walked out of the place together.
At this moment, Gu Lingxiao turned to look at Ollie, who was standing to the side without moving and showed no intention of going out to see what was going on, and asked in confusion, "Don't you want to go and see what's going on?"
Upon hearing this, Ollie smiled憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚憨厚好 ...
You kindly reminded those guys to prepare for winter, but they didn't take it seriously at all.
These people are coming to us now, and nine times out of ten they're either seeking cooperation or trying to forcibly seize resources. In my opinion, it's safer to stay by your side.
Faced with Ollie's frank and straightforward request for protection, Gu Lingxiao did not say much. Ollie always gave him a strange feeling.
"Protection? Hehehe." Gu Lingxiao chuckled, then gently pushed open the door in front of him and strode out.
Since a wonderful show was about to unfold, he had to see it for himself no matter what.
Against the backdrop of swirling snowflakes, more than twenty figures of varying shapes, heights, and builds gradually emerged, appearing before Xiaoyao Jun, Hei Dashuai, and Feiyan.
"Holy crap! Why are there so many people?" Blackie's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
As the twenty-odd figures drew closer, their appearances were finally fully revealed to Gu Lingxiao.
Among them were more than ten members of the Holy Light Family. They were dressed in uniform, each with a solemn expression, exuding an aura of fear.
As for the rest of the figures, although Gu Lingxiao could recognize a few of them, most of them were still relatively unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, Gu Lingxiao's gaze suddenly fell on one person—it was Had.
At this moment, Had was covered in wounds, with the skin and flesh of many parts of his body torn off, revealing his white bones, making him look extremely miserable.
Moreover, upon close inspection of those wounds, one can find obvious teeth marks that perfectly match the teeth marks of members of the Holy Light Family.
Looking at the other extraordinary beings besides the members of the Holy Light Family, they all bore some injuries.
Some had lost an arm, some had blood streaming down their legs, and others had their faces covered in hideous scars.
Judging from their positions and the extent of their injuries, it's easy to tell that Had and his group are not on the same side as the members of the Holy Light Family.
On the contrary, Had and others were treated like food by the Holy Light Family, left to their own devices.
