With the matter of the Blood Bamboo Forest concluded, the group embarked on their journey home.

On the way, they hunted another huge bison. After cleaning its internal organs, they stuffed the blood snakes they had killed inside and then sewed up its belly.

This is also to avoid attracting the attention of others.

With so many people dying in the Blood Bamboo Forest, other patrol teams are coming to join the fun, and we might run into some people along the way.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way, and the three of them returned to Snow Eagle Ridge safely.

Jiang Chuan invited them inside to rest and discuss the distribution of the harvest.

Upon entering the room, everyone was immediately enveloped in warmth, and Wang Anquan couldn't help but remark:

"The houses built by these builders are better than those we build by hand."

"Comfortable and not drafty."

"I hope I can enjoy the same treatment when I move here."

"Builder, what an enviable sequence talent!" Old Liu said with great emotion.

"Let's not talk about that."

Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let's divide the food first. I need to really taste this snake soup."

"I don't need to divide it up. Anyway, I'm going back later to move the food, clothes, and bedding from the base over."

Wang Anquan waved his hand; his younger brother was still waiting for news from him at the stronghold.

He glanced at the bag of loot in the animal skin bag, then looked at Old Liu and said:

"Actually, there's a special reason why I'm so eager to move here."

"Let me get straight to the point. Some time ago, I wasn't actually at the base. Instead, I went to the wilderness and received some news."

"A major snowstorm is coming."

"What?!" Old Liu exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

His eyes were fixed on Wang Anquan, filled with disbelief.

"..."

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly: "Old Wang, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Um?"

Wang Anquan was slightly taken aback. He didn't know if Jiang Chuan was unaware of the matter or understood the severity of the snow disaster. After taking a deep breath, he patiently explained:

"Jiang Chuan, you may not realize how serious a snow disaster is in winter."

"The snow will continue to fall throughout the winter, and the temperature will be even lower than it is now."

"The miniature fire springs will be extinguished briefly, just like in the Blood Bamboo Forest."

"Besides that, the most terrifying thing is that the monsters will be more active and violent, so even staying near the fire spring is not very safe."

"Those ghosts even attack the fire spring, making it almost like a night of ghosts roaming around every night."

"this..."

Jiang Chuan looked at the solemn expressions on their faces and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Is it that serious?"

"Yes."

"When I returned to the mountains, many of the outposts in the wilderness had already begun to retreat to the larger cities."

"What Brother Wang said doesn't seem like a lie."

At this moment, Ye Xuan also interjected to remind her:

"Researchers in the city have developed a meteorological observation system specifically designed to deal with this situation."

"Whether it's a geological disaster, a rain disaster, or a snow disaster, they can predict it a little in advance to avoid large-scale casualties."

"If a large-scale migration occurs, then the outcome is pretty much set in stone."

"I see."

Jiang Chuan nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder so many strange things have happened in the mountains lately. According to the pattern, animals always react before humans when there is a major disaster.

In addition, there was that enormous bird he had seen. Could it be that it was migrating?

"What should we do?!"

"The village was already having a bad year, and everyone was hoping to hold on until next spring. But now, disaster has yet to strike."

"We don't have much time left to stockpile food. If we want to go into the mountains to hunt, the Blood Bear and the One-Eyed Giant Deer are roaming around again!"

When Old Liu heard about this, he became quite agitated, completely losing his previous calm and composure.

He was genuinely anxious because he had experienced a major snowstorm, during which nine villages in the area were wiped out.

Even though their village had enough food stored up, most of the people died in the ghost tide.

After surviving the severe snow disaster, the remaining villages gathered together with various survivors, and thus continued to exist.

This is why there are so many different surnames in Xing Shou Village.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Liu's face turned pale, and after his lips trembled for a moment, he said:

"Little Jiang, Little Jiang, I need to ask you for a favor."

"I won't take Blood Serpent this time. Can your base accommodate a small portion of the village?"

There are still too many people in Xingshou Village. Their blood and spirituality are like lighthouses in the dark, and the ghost tide will first attack these places.

The only way to reduce the quality of the ghost tide is to disperse some people away.

Grandpa Liu could only think of Jiangchuan. He had just discovered that the fire spring at Snow Eagle Ridge had somehow become a level one fire spring.

With the addition of two powerful arrow towers, even without walls, they might be able to withstand the onslaught of the little devils.

"this."

Jiang Chuan's expression turned serious; as a lord, he had many things to consider.

First of all, there is still the problem of not having a wall. At this time, Snow Eagle Ridge is still in its infancy, and if it were to accept villagers, it might not be able to withstand the ghost tide.

But he couldn't ignore it. He had gone to Xingshou Village yesterday and seen the situation. Even the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons on the 15th was barely holding on.

Not to mention it happens every night. After a long pause, he finally spoke:

"Uncle Liu, it's not about giving anything in return. You'll get your share of the blood snakes and snake eggs. As you can see from my place, it's drafty and doesn't have walls like a village, so it can only accommodate a few families at most."

"When you get back, please let me know about Brother Liu and his family, and Uncle Li and his family. If you want to come, you are welcome to come."

"but--"

"On the condition that the assigned firestone resources are also retrieved."

"well!"

Old Liu nodded vigorously and didn't say anything more.

He immediately took the spoils allocated to him and hurried back to Star Guardian Village.

This incident is so huge that many people may not survive.

However, knowing in advance can increase the chances of survival.

"Alright, I won't stay any longer. I'm going back to pack my things."

Wang Anquan had said what he needed to say, and turned to pack up his things at the base. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he turned back to Jiang Chuan and said meaningfully:

"Wait for me to come over. I'll bring you something good; I guarantee it will be useful to you."

"Hehe, okay."

Jiang Chuan watched the two figures disappear into the dim night, then slowly closed his eyes.

This snowstorm is a major crisis for everyone, but for him personally, it is also a great opportunity.

In the past, fishing for ghosts was just a small-scale affair.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the ghost!

Moreover, with the arrival of the severe snow disaster, all communication will be cut off, so he won't even need to hide his talent.

Just focus on development.

"Yes, we need to start preparing now."

He glanced at the empty darkness around him and pondered:

"The walls need to be built."

Then, he controlled the shadow, picked up the axe, and walked towards the surrounding woods.
