The fierce mountain wind blew across the treetops, making a sound that was even more terrifying than the howls of the Devil Wolf. Like a doctor, the fierce wind blew through the treetops, causing even more terrifying than the howls of the Devil Wolf.

The lead gray clouds in the sky rapidly rolled towards the people escaping on the ground, pressing down on them. The thickness of the clouds was intimidating, constantly twisting and turning the clouds around like the face of the god of death, white spots sprinkled onto the ground from the clouds in the distance.

"The blizzard is about to catch up, run! Fast! There's a cave over there, let's hide in it! " The big bearded Todd who was covered with curly muscles pointed at the cave in front of him and shouted as he ran.

Behind him were forty or so exhausted hunters. The cave ahead was as ferocious and pitch black as a monster's mouth, and it was very tempting. Some of the people behind hurriedly threw away their heavy prey and heavy wooden shields, and rushed towards the cave like madmen.

The moment everyone rushed into the cave like a swarm of bees, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound and a sky full of dust, a snowstorm came crashing over. The huge shock wave caused everyone in the cave to tumble to the ground, and the sharp sound of the wind stung their ears. If it was just a single step later, all of them would have become the collection of the storm.

"ROAR!" Praise the Goddess of Light! We're saved! It was unknown who started it, but the forty or so hunters who had managed to escape were crazily shouting and jumping around.

Trussi, who was in his forties, was one of the most experienced people in the team. He looked around nervously, it was a cave with a height of more than three metres and a width of more than four metres, and a depth of more than ten metres. There were a bunch of rocks and dried branches scattered on the ground, but other than that, he did not find any hair or poop from any other beasts.

Todd roared: You fools, quickly move the rocks and block the entrance of the cave. You cannot let the snowstorm pour in, or else everyone will be dead!

Hearing him yell, everyone rushed over and carried all the rocks in the cave to the cave entrance. They built a simple wall to protect it from the wind and snow. The cave darkened as the stone wall rose, but it also became warmer. Trussi took out the fire sickle, ignited a pile of firewood and called for everyone to come over to take a rest. After a long time together with the storm sprinting, it made them all feel like they had gone to hell for a thief. They gathered around the fire and panted heavily, and both of them could hear the sound of each other's "dong dong" of their hearts.

Standing at the cave entrance, Todd observed the storm winds outside and asked: "Trussi, are everyone here?"

"Buddy, everyone's here, not a single one is missing!"

Trussi said as he walked through the cracks in the rocks to look outside. The clouds were getting thicker and lower, until it was almost reaching the top of a tree. The violent hurricane was like a shepherd herding the rolling clouds, and from time to time, it would form a tornado that would tear apart a tall tree to prove its strength.

Todd frowned and shouted: "Toc, this blizzard shouldn't stop for a short period of time. Gather everyone's prey and distribute them evenly, especially the wine, I think we can probably hold out for a few more days like this."

At his words, a burly man with a full beard like a dwarf agreed and began to collect his things.

"Todd, how long do you think this blizzard will last?" Trussi asked with a heavy heart.

"Old buddy, I think we've met with big trouble this time. Looking at the thickness of the clouds, I estimate that this blizzard will last for at least eight to ten days!" Todd said bitterly.

"Eight to ten days!" Oh my God! High Goddess of Light! Our food and water won't last that long! Most of the food we brought out has been eaten, and there aren't many prey. It can only last for three days at most! " Toc, who was at the side, screamed out upon hearing Todd's depressing judgement, causing the faces of the rest of the people in the cave to change as well.

After Todd finished listening, his expression became even more unsightly. He turned around and looked at the outside through the crack in the stone. At this time, the entire outside of the cave was covered by the wild wind and snow, and the thick layer of snow had completely covered the way up and down.

took a deep breath: "Trussi, you stay here and take care of everyone, I'll go back to the village and find people to help you guys." As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

With a "peng" sound, he grabbed Todd's arm and pressed him against the wall of the cave, causing Lucian to shout: "Todd! You're crazy! If we go out now, we'll be sending ourselves to our deaths. Right now, we don't even know where we are.

Toc also came up to stop Todd and said: "Village chief, Trussi is right, we can't even find the way, nor can we determine the direction. Adding on the fierce wind outside, if you go out, you will definitely be blown away by the damn wind.

Todd sighed, but did not persist. He knew what Toke and Trussi said was right, if he did not persist until he returned to the village, he would be frozen into an ice statue.

They all came from the same place, and their home was in Dark Magic Forest, in a small village called Severus. That was a small village by the Alas River, calm and composed, as if it was at peace with the world. The village was surrounded by Dark Magic Forest, right beside the Blitz Mountain Range, it was the most unremarkable of the countless Burton Empire villages in the entire Sofia Continent, and one would definitely not be able to find it on the map. It was a very isolated village, and even adventurers and mercenaries rarely arrived there.

It was rumored that he had once hunted a Rank 5 Demon Fox deep in the Dark Magic Forest. Last year, because of the lack of grain, almost every household had no food left in the village during the start of spring, so Todd had arranged a group of young men to come to the Dark Magic Forest to hunt. He did not expect to encounter a blizzard.

Everyone discussed for a long time but still failed to come up with a good plan. Finally, Todd clenched his teeth and said: "If everyone doesn't have a good idea, then we can only choose a few people to risk our lives to return to the village and ask for help. We can't just sit here and wait for death!"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Trussi who was at the cave entrance sigh: "Village Chief, I'm afraid we can only sit here and wait for our deaths."

Todd exclaimed: "What's wrong again!" As they spoke, they rushed to the entrance of the cave and looked outside through the cracks in the rocks. When they looked out, they saw that Todd's expression had changed too, in just a short while, the snowstorm had already submerged more than half of the cave. If they were to use a meter, it would have to be at least a meter thick! Todd was also stunned. With the snow falling so heavily, it would be difficult to even take a single step outside. Wanting to walk back to the village to ask for help was simply wishful thinking.

After everyone finished reading, they all fell into despair. Immediately, only heavy gasps could be heard. Todd forced himself to say: "Hey, guys! Don't despair everyone, let's wait until the blizzard stopped before we try to think of a way out. It's not like we've never encountered such a blizzard before, let's persevere for a few days first! God of Light will not abandon her loyal followers. "

Trussi joined in: "Right, right! As soon as the blizzard stopped, we could walk out of the cave and figure something out. For now, it's best for everyone to conserve more of their physical strength. "

Hearing their words, everyone lit up with hope again. Their originally dark and gloomy face now had a tinge of luster, and under the command of Toc, they cleaned up all the remaining prey, while there was still fire left on the fire to roast and prepare to eat. Like this, they prayed that the Goddess of Light would stop the blizzard as soon as possible, and struggle through every minute.

A day passed, and the blizzard did not stop.

Two days later, the blizzard became even more violent.

Three days later, the snowstorm was still raging.

On the fifth day, their prey was all eaten. Originally, their harvest this time was quite bountiful, but in order to escape, most of the people had thrown away their prey. The remaining prey was not even enough for forty or fifty people.

After enduring for an entire day, the sounds of the blizzard on the seventh day gradually died down. Everyone couldn't help but feel reinvigorated. They knew that the blizzard had lessened, but at this time, the firewood in the cave was exhausted. Without the food and fire, everyone's mood immediately became as dark as this cave. The despair and fear that had been suppressed for days gradually filled the cave.

ROAR!" I don't want to die! "I don't want to die here, I miss my little Phil, I miss my Oman, I miss my mom, wuu …

"Oh, the omnipresent Goddess of Light, save me!"

"I don't want to be frozen to death and starve to death!"

"I want to get out! I don't want to die here!"

Very quickly, there were a few people shouting. Todd became even more annoyed after hearing it and shouted, "Trussi, Toc, knock out those useless fellows, don't let their shouts affect everyone!" As soon as he finished speaking, without even needing Trussi and Toc to do anything, the people sitting beside the wailing fellows had already knocked them out.

After the few fellows who shouted fainted, the cave returned to silence again. Just like that, another day passed, and the howling of the snowstorm outside the cave gradually stopped. Todd leaned his ear against the stone wall of the cave and said, "The snow outside … Should Stop... " Just as he said that, his words suddenly paused, following that, "Putong", Todd fell onto the ground.

Trussi was shocked, he anxiously picked him up and shouted: "Village Chief, Todd, what's wrong! Wake up! "

Everyone had surrounded him, and some of them took out fire sickles to ignite the fire, borrowing the light from the fire, they saw Todd trembling uncontrollably, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his face was green and grey. Reaching out his hand to touch his head, his forehead was burning hot. Trussi said in shock: "Todd has the best physique out of all of us, how did we end up like this when we're fine!"

"Sigh!" "He's hungry. You all don't know, the village chief hasn't eaten anything in the past eight days. He has secretly given me back the food that was given to him, saying that this way, everyone will be able to endure for a few more days …" Toc, who was in charge of distributing the food, choked with sobs.

Trussi took off his fur coat and covered Todd's body as he said: "Right now, we must find some food to eat. There's even a fire, it's best if we can make some hot soup for him to drink, or else he won't be able to save us anymore!"

But we don't have any food anymore. The snow outside is so heavy, and we can't walk. We're already trapped, and we can't even get out. Where can we get hot soup from?" "Tock said with a helpless look on his face as he pounded on the frozen stone wall.

Trussi knocked on the ice wall that was as hard as steel and was speechless. Someone in the crowd sighed, "It would be great if we had a Mage that could use fire magic, even if he's just an apprentice!"

Hearing his words, the other one said, "Don't even think about it, since ancient times, our village of Severus has only produced the best hunters, since when did we ever leave the Mage?!" Everyone huddled close to Todd, hugging each other to keep warm. At this time, no one said anything, and the cave became quiet once again.

After an unknown amount of time, when everyone was almost at their limits, suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside the cave, and Trussi, who was struggling to hold on, exclaimed: "Listen to … That was … What's that sound? "

Toc put his ear to the wall and listened carefully. It was the sound of plowing snow! There are people plowing the snow outside. Now we can be saved! " Just as he was about to shout, Trussi stopped him and said, "Don't yell! "How do you know it's a human? It might even be a magical beast!" Hearing Trussi's words, Tuo Ke jumped in shock, and said with a trembling voice: "It can't be, Goddess of Light is up, we won't be so unlucky right."

Just at that moment, a ray of light shot through the ice wall, followed by a voice from outside. "Is there anyone inside?" If you do, I'll open the frozen ice wall. "

Toc was overjoyed to hear that. "There's someone here!" There was someone! We are all here! " As he spoke, he moved further away from the cave entrance. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang, and the stone wall collapsed from the impact. As the cold air poured into the cave, the dark cave also lit up. With the help of the light, everyone's eyes widened as they looked outside, wanting to know who it was that saved them.

There was a person standing at the entrance of the cave. This person wasn't very tall, and he was also very young, his entire body was covered in ice shards, even his eyebrows, hair, and face were all ice shards. In his hand was a spade the size of his head.

At this time, Trussi opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Ordinary! it was Liz's son, Ordinary! "

The other people in the cave also recognized him. The one who broke through the ice wall to save them was the son of the beautiful woman called Liz who was standing by the river outside the village.

There was only one family, which consisted of two children and a mother. Liz, the mother, was a very beautiful woman, and she was very knowledgeable, even more knowledgeable than the village's most knowledgeable Grandma Yurzi.

Ten-odd years ago, Liz, who was not even twenty years old at the time, fled with a big belly and settled down in Seville Village, causing a huge commotion. Not long after that, she gave birth to a son of hers, who she called "Ordinary", saying that she hoped he would be able to live his life peacefully.

Liz was like a mystery in the village, no one knew where she came from, no one knew who her son's father was, but everyone knew that she was not an ordinary person, from her words and actions, everyone knew that she was a well-educated girl, and it was also because of this that when she had escaped here with a big belly, there were many versions of where they came from. However, Liz had never revealed his origins, and in the end, everyone had attributed her to a noble or concubine who was unfaithful, pregnant, driven out of her home, and abandoned by an adulterer.

She was very good at catching fish, mainly fish as food. Other than going to the small grocery store in the village to trade for daily necessities, she rarely came to the village, but those energetic men in the village frequently ran over to her place to look for cheap goods. Of course, these people were all beaten out by Liz, and with this, under the noise of these people, who could already say that they had sour grapes, Liz became even more of a bad woman.

The women in the village said that he was trying to seduce the men, and the men in the village who did not take advantage of her added oil to the fire to ruin her reputation. When a scoundrel was crippled by her five-year-old son due to the corruption of Liz, no one dared to spout nonsense anymore, and Liz and her son's relationship with the people in the village became even more distant.
