Crossing: Leading everyone to survive

As soon as he entered the cave, Gu Chengming could clearly feel the ground shaking. The sky was becoming darker at a speed visible to the naked eye. The already cold temperature was still dropping rapidly. After a while, the ground stopped shaking.

"What's going on? There's an earthquake," Hongyu asked.

"No," Yuchuan said in a very serious tone, "Winter is coming!".

According to the notebook, there are three stages of winter: the onset, invasion and end.

In the initial stage, no snow monsters will appear, just endure the cold temperature.

During the invasion phase, some low-level snow monsters will appear, such as the big snow monster, snow wolf, etc. They just need to guard the entrance of the cave.

In the terminal stage, high-level snow monsters will appear, such as the Titan Snow Ape, Ice Crystal Scorpion and other large snow monsters, and there is even a monster that can live in the body. In this case, they have no choice but to cover their bodies with the blood of the Red-Armored Earth Dragon and hide quietly in the cave entrance. Going out is no different from committing suicide.

On the first day of winter, Gu Chengming finished his morning exercise and wiped the sweat off his body with water. He placed a piece of fire crystal at regular intervals around the cave. The heat released by the fire crystal made the cave entrance a little warm.

"Chengming, these are some clothes for changing," a middle-aged woman handed a set of clothes to Gu Chengming.

"Ms. Ming, didn't I say that we don't need to wash clothes in such a cold day?"

"Hey, this is the only thing I can do for you."

Her name is Fang Ming. She is a member of the Gale Tribe. Originally, she specialized in dealing with monster corpses. After the coming of winter, they never went out of the cave again, so there were no new monster corpses. Now they specialize in dealing with the tribe’s internal affairs.

"Okay, thank you for your help," Gu Chengming took the clothes and gave her a friendly smile.

During the contact over the past few days, Gu Chengming and his companions forged a deep friendship with the Gale Tribe. Perhaps this was the reason why the two vulnerable groups huddled together for warmth in this dangerous world.

"Xiao Ming, this way," Hongyu waved at him from a distance. Gu Chengming looked over and saw that all the classmates were sitting here.

"How's your Earth Beng Quan practice going?" Gu Chengming asked.

"What else can I do? It's so difficult. The source power won't flow in the direction I want."

Maybe it was because the old man had transformed his physique, and he was making smooth progress in learning the Earth Breaching Fist. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to learn it before the invasion stage.

"By the way, Changxun, how is your trap going?" Gu Chengming looked at Shi Changxun.

"Almost there, it will be done by tomorrow."

They did not intend to sit and wait for death in the cave during the next phase of the invasion. The snow crystals in the bodies of the snow monsters were good things for them, so they made preparations in advance.

"Chengming, Brother Yuchuan is looking for you," Lin Muyao walked over.

"You guy, if you call Yuchuan, just call me Yuchuan brother, and if you call me, just call me my full name."

“Sigh~”, Lin Muyao made a face and jumped away.

In order to deal with the next monster, they also chose a tent as a meeting room. Now there are only Yuchuan and Gu Chengming in the meeting room.

"How are things over there?" Gu Chengming asked.

"Well, the weaknesses and types of snow monsters are almost all known."

"We still have too few fighters," Gu Chengming said regretfully.

"Yes, and I also want to thank Shen Qingli over there. If it weren't for her, some of our tribesmen might have died before the winter came," Yuchuan murmured as he watched Shen Qingli chatting with everyone not far away.

The initial stage of winter was short, and they didn't have much time left, so they divided the fighters into two groups.

The members of Group One are Gu Chengming, Jiang Yingxue, Hongyu, Zhou Chenze and Shen Qingli. It is worth mentioning that Shen Qingli is very good at using the source of energy in her body, so her understanding of the Earth Collapse Fist may exceed that of most people.

The members of Group 2 are Yuchuan, Lin Muyao, Jiang Zhilin, and Shi Changxun.

They will take turns going out hunting with the traps set as the center. These people are also all the fighters who will survive the winter.

On the seventh day of winter, after the ground shook again, the invasion phase officially arrived.

"Chengming, the first battle is left to you."

"Just leave it to me."

Outside the cave, part of the earth wall was broken, and Gu Chengming and his companions rushed out of the cave. In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other snow monsters, they set a trap five kilometers away from the cave. This distance was not far for them as warriors.

They ran as fast as they could and soon reached the trap. From a distance they saw some snow-white figures.

"That looks like a big snow monster."

Those big snow monsters seemed to smell their scent and rushed directly towards Gu Chengming.

The one rushing in the front only had the food in front of it in its eyes, and did not notice the big pit in front of it at all. It fell directly into it. The pit was full of horns of sabre-horned deer, which pierced its body directly. A knife just stabbed into its neck. After struggling for a few seconds, it could not move.

"Sure enough, this guy is just like what the book says, he doesn't seem to be very smart," Hongyu said after seeing this scene.

"Don't get distracted, the rest is coming."

Gu Chengming rushed forward with a knife, used a shadow binding, and then chopped the back of its neck with the knife. After breaking through the realm of the lamp, he felt that the shadow binding was becoming more and more handy.

Jiang Yingxue was simple and brutal. She directly summoned an ice cone to blow its head off. In this cold environment, her spiritual energy recovered quickly.

The remaining three people worked together to deal with one, and under the cover of Hongyu and Shi Changxun, Shen Qingli accumulated practical experience in using the Earth Collapsing Fist.

"Oh my god, this guy is so thick-skinned. If I hadn't accumulated some combat experience in the past few days, I would have caught him just now."

"Practical experience", Gu Chengming seemed to remember something, he slapped himself hard, "How could I forget about this".

It's not his fault. He originally wanted to tell everyone about this, but the subsequent auction and the preparations for the coming of winter made him forget about it. If Hongyu hadn't mentioned it, he might not have even remembered it.

Everyone was also startled by him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you hitting yourself?" Zhou Chenze asked puzzledly.

"It's good news. I'll go back and tell you that it's coming again."

"Ah~", several big snow monsters appeared in front.

"Something's wrong here. Why are there so many of them? Xiao Ming, do you still want to fight?"

"What the hell are you doing? Run away."

There are already dozens of snow monsters in front of us, and more are appearing one after another.

Hongyu said while running, "Have we disturbed the yeti's lair?"

"Follow me, run here."

After passing a stone wall, Gu Chengming pulled the rope next to him, and several huge rocks slid down from the mountain, just separating the big snow monster. They went back to the cave from the other side. This time they only harvested four snow crystals.
