As the sun rose higher, many figures appeared on Spirit Beast Mountain. Many spirit beasts, like chipmunks and vines, piled up snow, and there were even competitions. Clearly, this was one of their old activities.
The area surrounding Spirit Beast Mountain is inhabited by ordinary animals. Spirit Beast Mountain is not only home to spirit beasts, but also to many ordinary animals. These animals are specially raised by the spirit beasts as a source of food.
On the snow-covered grassland, a group of grouse peck at tree seeds buried in the snow. Pine cones and other fruits are their main food source after winter sets in.
These grouse have evolved and are no longer the same as before. Their size and strength have at least doubled, but they still hide themselves as if they have never evolved, cowering among the sparse grass and branches.
In a world where everyone evolves, the evolution of ordinary animals doesn't seem to change much. Apart from reaching a balance in food consumption among predators, the lives of grouse haven't changed much.
Of course, they are more satisfied with their current life than before. Since coming to live in this mountain range, they have encountered far fewer dangers. Even when they encounter fierce beasts, they are not in mortal danger.
On this snowy ground, seven grouse were also foraging, intently searching for pine nuts and berries.
Today is the first day of snowfall, the first day of winter. Finding food is not difficult; they search for food slowly and nimbly, quietly filling their bellies.
They are only occasionally startled by the sudden roars of beasts on the mountain. Most of those roars are terrifying, making them tremble with fear as if they are about to die. But after a while, they gradually get used to it. Each time they are only stunned for a few seconds, and then they can continue to forage for food.

Arctic, glacial coast.
Pile after pile of snow wolves swiftly made their way toward the shore; this was not an isolated incident, but rather a practiced hunting activity.
Under the leadership of the Snow Wolf King, the snow wolf pack is now not only extremely large in number, but also exceptionally well-organized.
In the past two years, as the number of mutated and alienated beasts has gradually decreased, ordinary evolved marine creatures have regained a large amount of living space and are multiplying more and more. Many marine creatures have even evolved the ability to come ashore for a short time, and they can often be seen on the coast.
Therefore, snow wolf packs that hunt along the coast are able to return with a full load every time they hunt, and even in the Arctic, where there are very few living creatures, the large number of snow wolf packs can still eat and drink their fill.
The arrival of winter brought no change to the Arctic, which was forever frozen in ice and snow. On the snow-capped peak, the Snow Wolf King glanced at the hunting party returning with a full load in the distance, then lowered his head, preparing to take another nap.
"Awoo!"
"
Just as the majestic wolf king was about to close his eyes again, a panicked wolf howl suddenly rang out.
The glacier, battered by wind and snow, reflected the sunlight. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared behind the returning group, rapidly approaching.
The howling wind and snow could not obstruct the king's vision. In the blink of an eye, the lazy wolf king on the snow-capped peak had vanished without a trace.
"Awooo!"
"The hunting party did not back down; all the snow wolves put down their catch and prepared to fight."
As the shadowy figure drew closer, the snow wolves could make out its appearance. It was a strange creature with an incredibly powerful body, covered in black fur, with a body like an ape and a head like a bull, topped with a sharp single horn.
Most astonishingly, the black monster was wreathed in black flames, as if it were being scorched, and it was charging towards them.
The snow wolves sensed pressure from the monster; it was a sign that their spiritual senses detected danger! The newcomer was no weakling!
Even so, the snow wolves showed no intention of backing down. They are the most powerful group in the Arctic, the snow wolves that rule this land. They cannot lose their dignity as kings!
As the snow wolves formed their battle ranks and spiritual energy surged, the monsters arrived.
"boom!"
A tremendous roar suddenly rang out, and the charging monster was sent flying backward, instantly crashing a hundred meters away.
Before the snow wolves could launch their attack, amidst the roar, came the figure of the Snow Wolf King.
"Awooo!"
"!" The snow wolves howled excitedly; in their eyes, their king was the strongest.
"Ouch." Let's go back.
The Snow Wolf King didn't turn around. It let out a low growl to signal the pack to return. In battle, it didn't need any subordinates.
Knowing their king's habits, the snow wolves immediately turned around, grabbed their prey, and ran away. No snow wolf was worried about the battle, nor did any of them doubt the snow wolf king's strength. They carried their prey, running towards the snow mountain with their usual light steps.
The departure of the snow wolf pack relieved the Snow Wolf King. Although it had repelled the monster with a single blow, the monster was actually quite strong. If the snow wolves had been present, it would have been difficult for the Snow Wolf King to protect the safety of the wolf pack.
"Roar!!!" The monster, which had been knocked away, roared and shot back like a cannonball, its eyes blazing with black and red fire, a fury directed at the Snow Wolf King.
"Hmph!" The Snow Wolf King snorted, its eyes filled with vigilance. It never toyed with the weak, and it always remained serious in the face of any opponent.

ocean.
Suddenly, the gently falling snowflakes began to dance wildly, swirling and fluttering, calling upon the wind and waves to play music for them.
As the wind picked up, the sky gradually darkened, and then thunder joined the chorus, its booming and howling sounds creating a vibrant dance on the sea, whipping up layers of waves.
A hundred-foot-high wave was suddenly unleashed, the snowflakes quietly retreated, and rain joined the feast. A torrential downpour swept across the sky and earth, providing accompaniment to the roar of the giant wave.
