Chapter 766: Northern Tribe

She swallowed the bun in her mouth, took a sip of the fresh, sweet, rich meat soup, and felt heavenly.

The two were picking up the second bun, eating it with gusto, filling the air with fragrance.

Tongzi's voice, slightly delighted, sounded near Wu Yue's ear.

"Ding! Dear host,

The system mall has newly arrived limited-edition multifunctional energy clothing.

New item, special price, still 30% off.

Want to take a look?

System-made, absolutely top-notch.

You won't lose out buying it, you won't be cheated.

Exceeds expectations, you deserve to own it."

Wu Yue chewed and chewed, then swallowed the bun in her mouth.

She rolled her eyes: "How much commission does this energy clothing give? You're working so hard."

The system seemed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

It instantly jumped up in the system space.

"What commission? Am I that kind of Tongzi?"

Wu Yue chuckled, pretending to be clueless, as if everyone knew who was who.

"Come on, tell me, what is that energy clothing?"

Seeing her interest, Tongzi instantly went professional.

"Light and thin, close to the skin, wearing it feels like a second layer of skin."

"Not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but it can also reduce damage and provide defense…

After blowing a big wave, Tongzi cupped her own small face with both hands.

Blinking her titanium alloy … eyes, she looked expectantly at her own host.

When it mentioned being warm in winter and cool in summer,

Wu Yue already felt a bit moved.

The additional functions were even more of a bonus.

Thinking of that, she gritted her teeth and exchanged for two sets.

The leisurely days didn't last long.

The system then warned that the first storm in Bai Sha Yan Hai would arrive the next day.

Wu Yue summoned the various squad leaders, asking everyone to notify the tribe members.

Tomorrow everyone should obediently stay in their own caves.

Do not go out casually.

Block the cave entrances with the prepared large stones.

Wait quietly for the storm to pass.

At night while sleeping, Yuan Lang moved the already prepared huge stone.

Blocking the cave shut.

On the second day, the two woke up to the howling wind.

Wu Yue pulled the animal‑skin blanket tighter around herself.

Clicking the system panel, she began to watch the storm video transmitted by the system.

The boundless sea raged with furious winds, huge waves rolling and surging.

Forming wave walls several dozen meters high.

Wave after wave roared toward each island and outpost.

Like tigers and wolves, they roared as they devoured everything before them.

In just a moment, the sky turned dark and gloomy, with no light left.

The dim sea and sky merged into one, indistinguishable.

Only the deafening roar of the waves and the howling of the wind.

"Hiss! This is too terrifying."

She watched helplessly as a huge figure was engulfed by the waves and slammed onto the island.

After the waves receded, that huge figure showed no movement at all.

That was what the Shaman had said before—even several chief‑level Beastman Warriors joining forces would not dare provoke it lightly, a gigantic sea beast.

But in the face of nature, even a powerful sea beast cannot contend.

She faintly worried in her heart: "Tongzi, how long will such a storm last?"

"Each storm lasts no longer than five days at most.

"But the frequency of storms is relatively high.

"There will be one after a period of time.

"So when you see the sky change color, it's best to obediently stay in the caves."

The system pulled its little blanket tighter: "The place Yuan Lang and the others chose is not bad.

"Although there will still be some impact.

"At most it'll be a bit windier with some rain.

"You here will not face any danger.

"Moreover, in this weather, people from other tribes also dare not come out casually."

No need to worry about battles breaking out.

So this year's cold season can be said to be very safe.

Host, just relax.

Wu Yue perked up her ears to listen to the wind outside the cave.

Although it's also large, compared to Bai Sha Yan Hai it's indeed much better.

Then she also put her mind at ease.

Not worrying about the storm, her thoughts instantly sprang to life.

Throughout the long cold season, the tribe had ample food and its management was already on track.

Thinking of the dangerous places Tongzi had mentioned before.

She then couldn't help but feel her heart flutter.

"Tongzi, since there's nothing to do in the cold season, let's go on a journey."

"Tongzi:..."

"Traveling in the depths of winter, Host, you really have a good idea."

But as a system that cannot feel cold or heat, as long as the Host wishes, it naturally is also willing to follow.

After deciding, Wu Yue immediately took action.

She quickly opened the system store and began selecting supplies needed for the trip.

After exchanging some emergency supplies and placing them in her personal space.

After dressing, she went to the small cave opposite where Yuan Lang lived.

"Huh?"

Just as she stepped out of her own cave's door, she saw a Beastfolk already sitting by the fire pit in the middle of the large cave.

"Yuan Lang, let's go out on a journey."

The Beastfolk first stared, then nodded: "Good."

The two changed into energy clothing drawn from the system space.

Instantly shielding themselves from the bone-chilling cold of the cold season.

"Tongzi, although you've usually been a pain, this time the energy clothing is really nice."

Tongzi proudly lifted her chin.

Clad in the same energy clothing, her excited little face flushed red.

"Of course, I could mess with you, Host!"

Following the principle of proximity, the two rode on cloud-steeds, following Tongzi's simple map.

All the way, they flew and stopped intermittently.

Whenever they saw rare scenery, animals, or plants, they would stop to admire and collect them.

Wu Yue also shamelessly exchanged a low-priced camera from the system.

She recorded all the beautiful scenery encountered along the way.

Based on their good cooperative relationship, Wu Yue set aside a share of any rare plants, minerals, and animals she encountered for the system.

After keeping a portion for herself, she traded the rest with the system for points.

Over more than ten days, they somehow accumulated tens of thousands of points.

With a huge amount of points, Wu Yue and her companion's meal quality rose steadily along the way.

Even Tongzi's petty cash account rose to three figures.

Just as they were traveling along, sightseeing and eating.

Finally, a tribe came into view.

"Host, this ice city ahead is the North Land Tribe, one of the super tribes of the North Snow Plains."

The North Land Tribe leans against a mountain that isn't very high.

A trickling ice river runs across the tribe's settlement.

On the other side lies a vast snow forest.

The tribe's settlement is encircled by an ice wall over two meters high.

Looking out, the settlement is filled with ice huts being built.

The two even discovered domesticated wild beasts within the North Land Tribe's settlement.

Moreover, seeing those wild beasts leisurely chewing dry grass, it was clear they had long been accustomed to being domesticated.

"This tribe has actually begun to domesticate livestock."

The North Land Tribe has a sizable population, just looking out over the snow.

The ice wall encircling the settlement seems to have no end in sight.

It really seems like a great city.

Outside the ice wall, ice huts are scattered everywhere.

In small patches, they surround the ice wall.

It's just like small villages surrounding a city.
