Cloud Thinking

The snow wolf, just as its name suggests, has pure white fur like snow. When it wants to hunt prey, it will hide itself in the snow that can be found everywhere, quietly approach the prey, bite its vital points when it is not prepared, and finally eat it into its stomach.

If it were just a single snow wolf, it would not be impossible to escape, but they are social animals and always hunt in groups. Once you are targeted by a snow wolf, it means you may have to fight with at least five snow wolves. For unarmed humans, this is undoubtedly fatal.

Perhaps there were really no living things nearby. The snow wolves had been hungry for a long time. Even with the dilution of the wind and snow, the smell of blood was almost gone. They were smart and might have thought that this was a trap set by hunters to hunt them. But they were so hungry that they had no choice but to bring their aunts, uncles, and uncles and walk towards Helia and the others.

Helia squinted her eyes and counted them carefully. There were about twelve of them. Although they were all skinny from hunger, they were still meat. The snow wolf drooled at them, and Helia couldn't help licking her cracked lips as she looked at the snow wolf.

"Dramon, I'll give you a chance so that I won't be angry with you. Kill them and give us a snack." Helia summoned Theodore. The heavy magic wand pressed her against the branches and sank down. The snow on the trees fell sparsely, covering the bloodstains.

"You are still angry..." Drummond rubbed his ears and muttered softly, but still jumped down from the tree obediently. The wand in his hand glowed with light golden light and rushed towards the wolves.

Helia stood on the tree to cover him. Whenever a snow wolf approached him, she would raise her hand and throw a fireball, hitting it accurately. Lang's shrill howls made people's hearts tremble, but when she smelled the aroma of meat, her mouth was watering.

These days, she has been eating dry and hard bread, and at most she eats a few slices of dried meat, which tastes average. But at this time, a plate of fragrant and sizzling barbecued meat appears in front of her, and it is really hard for Helia to refuse.

Even if the snow wolves huddled together, they could only stare and die under the powerful magic. This is how people endlessly demand from nature, but one day nature will retaliate against them.

To the snow wolves, humans with great power should be seen as a natural disaster.

Helia jumped down from the tree and walked quickly in the direction where the smell of meat came from. When Drummond turned his head, he saw Helia's green eyes as bright as a hungry wolf. At that moment, he felt that Helia was no different from the snow wolf.

He has a beautiful appearance, but he is a meat-eating ruthless guy.

"The smell is too strong, and we're afraid it will attract other creatures. Let's pick two out to eat first, and freeze the rest." Helia said.

She carefully selected two snow wolves with beautiful fur and relatively strong bodies. She grabbed the hind legs of the snow wolves with both hands and dragged them towards the rabbit hole.

Drummond worked tirelessly to deal with the scene. He piled up the remaining wolf carcasses, then used magic to freeze them in ice, and used water magic to wash away the bloodstains nearby.

"Oh my god, two such big ones, they will be enough to eat for a long time." Britney looked at the two people who came back from hunting, especially after seeing the snow wolf in Helia's hand and smelling the faint aroma of meat in the air, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

"Ask Lydia to come out and prepare the food." Helia's hands were sore. The snow wolf was huge, as tall as her waist. Even though she had helped him share one on the way to Drummond, her hands were still sore after dragging it on for so long. The wound that had stopped bleeding seemed to have split again, and her scarf was soaked.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Britney of course saw Helia's left arm wrapped in a scarf. When she got closer, the smell of blood hit her nose.

"We have to take out some bait to catch this snow wolf. It's okay, I'll go in and let Kalzer help me deal with it." Helia said indifferently. Just as she was about to enter through the narrow cave, she was grabbed by Drummond's right arm.

"Karlze is still in a coma. Although his fever has subsided, his condition is not good." Britney replied, "Let Drummond treat you. He used healing magic on Karlze before. The effect was not as good, but it was still useful."

Helia turned around and looked at Drummond who was holding her arm tightly. He stared at her with a firm look in his eyes, and four words were written on his face: I will cure you!!!

"Okay, then I won't go in. Let's make a fire outside first. I'm freezing." Helia retracted her steps, summoned Theodore, and made a fire on the spot, but without firewood, she would have to use up her magic power.

"I'll go get some branches. You guys stay here for now." Britney saw that the atmosphere between Drummond and Helia was a little strange, so she took the initiative to ask for firewood to give them some space to talk.

Helia cleared a space with her feet and sat down to warm herself by the fire. Drummond sat down beside her and held out his hand.

Helia consciously stretched out her left arm, and Drummond untied her scarf. The wet touch made him frown even more. After removing the scarf, he looked at the bloody arm. He paused and tightened his grip on the scarf, but quickly suppressed the strange emotions in his heart.

Helia watched as Drummond used healing magic on her. A light golden light enveloped her wounds and a warm current flowed into her body. Compared to Kalzer's healing magic, it was obviously inferior, but perhaps it was because Drummond's emotions fluctuated too much. Helia realized that the magic power flowing into her body was a little strange, mixed with sporadic Drummond's emotions.

"Feeling sorry for me?" Helia looked at him and asked.

"Oh, you like to seek death so much, why should I feel sorry for you." Drummond said in a bad tone, but the voice in his heart accompanied by the inflow of magic power was saying: Yes, I feel sorry for you, and it hurts so much to see you get hurt.

"Women don't like men who say one thing and mean another." Helia laughed.

"..." Drummond said nothing, but his inner voice reached Helia's ears: Humph! Who asked you to like it!

"Are you jealous of Karlzer? Are you unhappy because I care about him more and not you?" Helia thought it was really fun to tease Drummond, so she asked him while he was still treating her.

"I'm not as petty as you." Drummond said, but in his heart he was: Yes! I'm jealous! Obviously I knew you first! I'm your best friend, but you always hang around him and don't even bother to look at me! I'm not happy!

Helia covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, and then received a look of doubt and disgust from Drummond. Then she thought again: Why is she laughing like crazy again? She should be hurt to death! Let's see if she can still laugh!

When Lydia came out, she saw Drummond holding a handkerchief and wiping Helia's arm carefully like a little girl. The handkerchief was soon stained with blood red. Although his face was wrinkled in disgust, his hands did not stop moving.

"You, are injured, why?" Lydia knelt on one knee and asked Helia.

"You did it yourself, not someone else. It doesn't hurt. Don't worry." Helia touched her head, then pointed to the two dead wolves beside the fire. "Lydia, come and help deal with these wolves. Try to peel off the fur as intact as possible. We can use it as clothes."

"Hey, isn't it too much to let Lydia do it?" Drummond knew that Lydia was a werewolf and the snow wolf was also a wolf. After all, the two came from the same origin. Letting Lydia do it was a bit too much.

Lidia shook her head and said seriously: “The meat is delicious, I want to eat it too.”

. . . . . .

Worry for nothing!

Then Lydia got busy with her sword. Drummond and Helia watched her skillful movements, slowly turned their heads and looked at each other. They both had the same thought in their minds at this moment: this was definitely not the first time Lydia had done this.

Lydia pulled her hands out of the wolf's belly, her hands were covered in blood. She tucked her hair behind her ears without paying much attention. She naturally noticed the surprised and suspicious looks from the two people not far away. After thinking for a while, she explained, "Mom and Dad, you can do it. I'll watch and learn it next to you."

Oh...I learned it from my parents...then there's no problem...

When Britney came back with the firewood, Kalzer woke up. Although he looked extremely haggard and seemed like he would die at any moment, he was more hungry than that and couldn't fall asleep. There was no fire in the rabbit hole and it was cold, so he ran out and huddled together with Helia to keep warm.

The wolf skin was simply processed and made into two small vests, one for Kalzer and the other for Helia. Her scarf was no longer useful as it had been blown by the wind for a long time and she was having a headache.

Sure enough, the weakness that one is born with cannot be easily cured by just a few months of wind and rain.

Lydia's technique was very professional. She cut the wolf meat into thin slices, put them on sticks, and roasted them over the fire. Even though there was no seasoning, the aroma of protein had already captured the attention of everyone present.

"It smells so good, I feel like my saliva is watering." Kalzer murmured as he stared at the spinning meat.

Drummond glanced at him, then showed a disgusted expression, "Your saliva is already flowing out, wipe it off!"

"It smells so good, will it attract other people?" Britney asked.

"Do you think that in our current starving state, we will be able to let others steal our meat?" Helia felt that this was a useless worry. No matter what came, they would beat the people away. If it was an animal, they would thank nature for the gift and give them an extra meal.

After eating and drinking, everyone was obviously more energetic. Delicious food can not only relax people, but also heal their hearts.

After Helia had eaten, she was not idle. She picked up the blood-soaked scarf, picked up a burnt wooden stick, and wrote on it.

"What are you writing?" Drummond came over and asked.

"We can't take the remaining frozen wolf carcasses away, so we'll leave them to the teams that pass by here later. We have to let them know who is so generous. After the game, they may come to us to repay us." Helia said.

They simply packed up, put the uneaten meat in the freezer, and prepared to move on.

Next to the pile of ice with frozen wolf carcasses, there was a thick branch with a scarf tied on it, on which was written: Fresh wolf meat buffet, please take it if you pass by, love comes from the mixed team.

From hunting snow wolves, Helia felt that the team's luck was gradually improving. Not long after they started walking, they saw an igloo, which was almost three times bigger than the one they stayed in on the first day. It stood like a small villa in the ice and snow, and they could see the warm light of a fire from afar.

They went forward and knocked on the door, and the one who opened the door for them was exactly Beavis, whom Helia had been thinking about for almost half the game! When the two sides saw each other, they almost burst into tears, and the previous grudges disappeared, leaving only the excitement and joy of reunion.

"Damn! We are almost dying of exhaustion trying to find you!" Gena and Helia bumped fists, expressing their warm welcome and great happiness for the arrival of the Mixed Team.

"Who isn't? We were planning to give up, but Belei insisted that we couldn't go back on our agreement with you!" Drummond said happily.

"Woooooo! I finally found you! Woooooooo!" Kalzer felt that all the hardships he had endured these days were worth it. Once his tense nerves relaxed, his tears rolled out of his eyes.

"Wow! I'm so glad I found you, too! Wuuuuuuu!" Netina couldn't hide her joy and cried for joy. Seeing Kalzer who was also crying with excitement like her, she felt like she had found a confidant. The two of them held hands and cried while looking at each other. It was quite funny to see.
