Chapter 74

*Sniff* It's Monday, please recommend me! The current recommendations are 1016, so pitiful! Hehe, if the recommendations reach 1250 today, I'll update one more chapter in addition to the two fixed ones! How about it, everyone! I want to burst out!

What did Er Dongsheng think of?

The sand bed!

That's right, he suddenly thought of a way to keep warm using sand! This method is quite simple: find some clean and fresh sand and spread it on the bed, preferably thick, then bury some scorching hot stones in the sand. When the time comes, cover it with a blanket. If everything goes well, the stones buried in the sand can release heat all night long!

He was actually making a simple version of a heated brick bed, or rather, a sand bed!

"This idea is not bad, but we need to wait until the snow outside is lighter!" Sigh, we'll just have to endure a bit longer!

...

Another morning, the little imp Spia had just left. Er Dongsheng dug a small cave for him next to his own cave. Because the cave was small, it had better insulation, and this guy seemed to have rested well these past few days!

Little Lulu and Belle were holding small copper mirrors, constantly admiring themselves. These two little things were being vain and dressing up! No wonder succubi are naturally incredibly alluring; this little girl was already so beauty-conscious at such a young age! As for Little Belle, she wanted to join in on everything. She couldn't be left out of anything!

Looking at the small copper mirror, Er Dongsheng helplessly pursed his lips. That thing, which he had carried with him even in life-and-death battles and never lost, had been studied for a long time without any clue, and was finally taken by Lulu and used as a mirror!

How tragic! But, maybe that was its original purpose!

*Knock knock knock!*

The sound of knocking came from outside, and Spia's duck-like voice rang out!

"Master, Master, the snow has stopped, the snow has stopped!"

His voice was filled with joy, loud and urgent!

"It stopped?"

"Indeed, it's time to take action!"

...

At this moment, the entire mountain range had turned into an endless expanse of crystal white. The snow in the forest had piled up several feet high! The weather was so cold that stepping on it wouldn't sink in much; the snow inside had completely frozen solid!

Several fully equipped people appeared in the cave. Lulu wore a thick fur cap that almost covered her ears, eyes, and nose, and was dressed in layer upon layer of snug fur coats. Because she was wearing so much, she looked round and plump, walking with a waddle, which was quite amusing!

Little Belle was hiding in Lulu's arms, only her little head poking out, curiously observing the surroundings! This little thing was always full of curiosity about the outside world.

Spia wrapped himself in several huge fur pelts, even covering his head, with only two holes poked through for his eyes to see!

Er Dongsheng was full of black lines. These guys were really dressed in a lot!

As for him, he didn't wear much. Cold was cold, no matter how much you wore, it was still cold, due to his constitution! So, he decided not to wear so much to save the trouble!

At this moment, everyone was carrying a backpack, some big, some small. Er Dongsheng's was the largest, about seven or eight times bigger than theirs!

They were preparing to go and get some sand.

"We must act quickly and return before the wind and snow start again!" Er Dongsheng looked at the gray sky, making a decision!

In the cold snowy weather, endless blizzards are the greatest danger! Most creatures that freeze to death do so during this time!

So, be careful, go quickly and return quickly!

The place to get sand wasn't far, there were many sand pits at the foot of the mountain, but most were now covered in snow. Er Dongsheng and the others could only rely on their memory to explore and find them!

*Boom!*

*Boom boom!*

Fireballs rained down one after another, quickly melting the surrounding snow, which turned into snow water and seeped into the ground. Then a large area of sand was exposed, this was the sand they were looking for!

This sand was of good quality, all fine grains of sand, uniform and clean! However, it was now wet, so it needed to be dried, otherwise, it would be too heavy!

Another wave of fire was cast, at a lower temperature, just enough to evaporate all the moisture in the sand!

Loading, go!

After a few busy trips, Er Dongsheng and the others brought back a lot of sand, even giving some to Spia's cave! Being strict with enemies, but giving a little sweetness to subordinates, was a good strategy. Otherwise, if they froze to death, Er Dongsheng would be at a loss! Of course, most of the sand in Spia's cave was carried back by himself, with Er Dongsheng only helping to dry it!

...

At this moment, deep in the mountains!

*Bang!*

*Roar!*

*Boom!* A flash of lightning and thunder!

"Sister, hide quickly!"

Xilie jumped without hesitation, and a bolt of lightning instantly struck where she had been standing. The ground was scorched black!

She felt a chill of fear. If it had hit her just now...

This was Xilie and her sister hunting. The monster, which was almost dead, had still managed to deliver a final, fatal blow, almost costing Xilie her life!

Their small tribe had already left the trading camp! They were migrating down this huge mountain range, with dangers lurking everywhere. Many had died or been injured, and the small tribe now had only about ten people left! Of course, the reason for the small number was that most of the tribe members had left this hopeless tribe and joined other tribes! In the face of the threat of death, being a low-ranking member of a larger tribe wasn't so bad!

"Sister, how much further? Is that great person really living in the southern mountains?" Her sister, Xiyue, asked with a worried face. At this moment, she no longer had the authority of a tribal leader!

"Of course, that great person told me personally, he lives on a bald, dark mountain peak!" Xilie said calmly, her words putting the minds of the dozens of tribal members at ease. They were afraid of not finding that legendary powerful demon, and if they continued like this, they would die!

Xiyue opened her mouth but swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. At this moment, it was better to keep a glimmer of hope for the sisters in the tribe. If even that glimmer of hope was lost, the entire tribe would really collapse!

In fact, she had many more worries. Not to mention whether they could find that great person, even if they did, would he accept them as a burden? These were all questions, but for now, they could only keep moving forward!

Behind them was an abyss, but moving forward still offered a glimmer of hope for survival!

The two sisters looked at each other, seeing deep unease in each other's eyes!

The road must be walked step by step, no matter how difficult the journey ahead!

...

In the evening, in Er Dongsheng's cave!

*Huff!*

Sitting on the sand bed, through the thick fur, he felt a warm current rising from below, and Er Dongsheng sighed contentedly!

This is life! This time, he was finally comfortable, no longer worrying about being frozen awake in the middle of the night!

The weak are eliminated, the strong survive, this is the iron law of nature. He was one of the strongest in this small area, and of course, he should enjoy a better life!

The entire sand bed was warm and cozy. Lulu and Belle had left their small beds and were now staying with him, claiming that it was warmer to huddle together!

They also had sand beds, but they preferred to stay on Er Dongsheng's big bed!

Picking up a glass of juice, warm and refreshing, he drank it in one go, feeling great! Reaching out with his left hand to the roasting rack, he grabbed a piece of roasted meat...

"Huh!"

Gone? He felt around, and it was really gone. Where did it go?

Er Dongsheng turned over to look at the roasting rack!

"..."

It was really gone, and the two little things were holding it, eating happily!

"Nan nan!"

"Yi yi ya ya!"

Sigh, life is truly lonely like snow! I'll go get another piece of roasted meat!

I hope my life will get better and better!

...

The little imp Spia lay quietly in his cave, but couldn't fall asleep. The thing under him was warm and comfortable!

Tossing and turning, he was still very happy inside, unable to calm down!

"Master is so amazing, this brilliant idea, it's just, just..." Spia didn't know how to describe his great master anymore. So powerful, so amazing, so considerate to subordinates, and so talented and wise, truly, truly...

"It's really comfortable!" Satisfied, he took a deep breath and decided to have a good sleep. Although he had slept well these past few days, nothing compared to the comfort of the sand bed!

...

The night grew deeper, and the forest in the snow left only the sound of crunching footsteps!
