"Lu Yuan? Why are you in such a panic?"
Lu Yuan, panting heavily, said, "Quick! Get everyone home! Start a fire! You must start a fire! A cold front is coming!"
"Huh? A cold front is coming? You..."
Zhou Tong wanted to say something, but then he felt another gust of wind blow by, and a bone-chilling cold swept over his entire body, giving him goosebumps.
"Okay! I got it! Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen! Hurry home! You guys stop playing too! Go back now! Quickly!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but seeing Lu Yuan's tense expression, they realized the seriousness of the situation and ran back.
Then Lu Yuan left the cave. The cold wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and volcanic ash and sand were blown everywhere.
Meanwhile, the people in the cave in the western district across the way were still arguing over a tiny bit of food.
