(5600)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the group emerged from the forest, they saw snowflakes filling the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowfall was already comparable to the last “moderate snow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cao Xing knew this was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snowfall ahead would only intensify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cao Xing quickly ordered, “Go, let’s hurry back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he urged Da Bai to speed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moo—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mammoth began to gallop wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a high-speed train, it shattered everything in its path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Wally’s running speed was equally astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sturdy bear paws landed on the snow, each step leaving a large pit and a massive bear paw print.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even excellent hunters dared not track such a formidable beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the team braved the blizzard, gradually leaving the Witch Forest behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing discovered that as time passed, the snowfall continued to increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was accompanied by a fickle cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh—whoosh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful cold wind swept through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing sat on Da Bai’s back, not only feeling his body heat rapidly depleting, but he also felt he might be blown away entirely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly grabbed Da Bai’s fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the handful of novice archers trailing the group struggled against the wind and snow as they pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Cao Xing frowned and ordered, “Everyone, slow down, Blom, move to the left side of the team and help shield our members from the strong wind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assam, you take the right side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blom pounded his chest and said, “Yes, Lord, let the mighty Blom protect you all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh—whoosh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful cold wind continued to howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing glanced at the two young girls on Wally’s back and reminded them, “Eliza, Little Chuchu, lie down on Wally’s back, and remember to hold onto its fur tightly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls immediately complied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lay on Wally’s broad back like two little koalas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing also quickly dialed Yilena’s communication channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zzz… zzz…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The static sound was heard, as the blizzard weather interfered with the signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they could still manage to communicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing quickly said, “Yilena, inform all subjects working outside to return to the territory as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone else, prepare to withstand the blizzard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to the faint voice from the headset, Yilena promptly replied, “Understood, Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please take care outside too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Yilena immediately conveyed the orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Cao Xing focused on resisting the blizzard as he pressed on with his journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, according to the system’s countdown, there were still 2 hours before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the weather, even nightfall seemed to come early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky grew dimmer, visibility declined, and the blizzard intensified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fist-sized snowflakes poured down from the sky as if they were free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t traveled far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet thick layers of snow had already accumulated on everyone’s heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing brushed the snow off Da Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the snowflakes weren’t the most terrifying thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most terrifying were the increasingly powerful winds and dropping temperatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh—whoosh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, Cao Xing felt as if an invisible giant hand was continually slapping his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing did not know the exact level of the winds now, but they must have reached an extremely terrifying degree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw amidst the snowflakes all around, interspersed with various rocks and broken branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even heard the distant “rumbling” sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the sounds of avalanches occurring on several nearby snow mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue looked at the scene ahead, then spoke into Cao Xing’s ear, “Oh my… the weather in this world is too harsh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded in agreement, gripping Da Bai’s fur tightly to ensure he wouldn’t be blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the system prompt appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to the extensive impact of this blizzard, the Ice Nest’s power has been disrupted, and it will not descend while the blizzard persists…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the system prompt,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers broke out on the chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Qingsong: “Thank goodness, luckily the Ice Nest got disrupted, otherwise with such a massive blizzard, we’d have to withstand the weather and fight the Ice Nest Monster, we wouldn’t survive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Tingzhang: “That’s right, luckily the system wasn’t too harsh on us, or our whole family would be done for tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Xishan: “Damn! This blizzard is too ridiculous, it directly blew down my watchtower, almost crushed me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Sui: “My painstakingly built vegetable greenhouse was blown away too, my seeds!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Jialong: “Truly absurd, this time, any territory without built-up walls will suffer serious damage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Xin: “Indeed, even if we get through this, the structures we worked hard to construct will be damaged, and our progress will be set back significantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, after this blizzard, I must focus on building the walls!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue saw the discussion on the chat channel and couldn’t help but admire Cao Xing’s foresight once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They not only built the walls early but also upgraded all of them to an intermediate level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of wall could surely withstand such harsh blizzard conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Liu Muxue, sitting behind Cao Xing, hugged his waist tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team braved the wind and snow and finally returned to the vicinity of their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>",879,"2026-05-28T19:24:00.560Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b94c840f0a097640def31b964d69c6141a0705129f7e5af6cf1489ed9df36aa","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-498","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-496",1544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-cover.jpg"]
