"It's snowing?" Angor flew out of Earth Grotto and saw the white snowflakes drifting in the air.
He looked around and saw the ground covered in a layer of silver.
"I hate it when it snows. Especially snow that can't see the sun. "The one who spoke was Tree Spirit. He was looking up at the sky that was covered by thick clouds.
Tree Spirit's figure looked a little blurry.
Tree Spirit didn't hear any response from Angor, so he turned around and looked at Angor. Angor wasn't listening to him at all. Instead, he was looking into the distance.
Tree Spirit followed Angor's gaze and saw a group of black dots that looked like ants slowly marching on the edge of the snowfield.
They were humans, ordinary mortals. There were about three hundred of them, and they all wore thick clothes. Their faces were red from the cold, and their hair and eyebrows were all covered in white frost. However, no one dared to stop. They kept moving forward.
"Huh? Refugees from the Evernight Kingdom are still here?" Tree Spirit clicked his tongue.
"They're refugees from the Evernight Kingdom?"
Tree Spirit nodded. "Yes. You can tell from their clothes. But I remember that most of the refugees from the Evernight Kingdom left at the beginning of the year. Why are they still here? "
"Maybe they're not the first batch." Angor was still far away, but he could clearly see that some of the refugees were wearing fur coats made from wild beasts. Most of them were animals commonly found in Parmigi Highlands.
There were also obvious spots on their fur, which meant they used the most crude method of tanning. They used trace elements found in the soil to remove grease and soften the leather. It would take a lot of time and effort to find a suitable place to do it.
In other words, these people had been in the Parmigi Highlands for a long time and had a long-term residence on a saline-alkali soil.
Tree Spirit agreed with Angor's analysis. "I did hear that a small number of refugees from the Evernight Kingdom built a settlement on Parmigi Highlands. I was amazed by the adaptability of humans. "
Angor believed that these people were the ones who were trying to survive on Parmigi Highlands.
However, they seemed to have moved away from the Old Territory. Each of them carried a lot of luggage, and some even had trailers with them.
"Why did they migrate?" He was asking a question, but at the same time, he was already thinking of all kinds of answers.
There were too many variables in the Parmigi Highlands. For ordinary mortals, any one of these variables could bring endless danger.
For example, the fusion of the planes had caused a large number of spatial dislocations in the Parmigi Highlands. If Transcendents were careless, they could be doomed, let alone ordinary people.
Not to mention the variables brought about by Transcendents, even normal situations were hard to avoid.
Wild beasts, glaciers, diseases … and so on, including a cold wind and a seemingly undisturbed snow, could be the last straw that broke the back of this group of mortals.
Then, what kind of migration was it?
"Just ask them if you want to know," Tree Spirit suggested casually. To his surprise, Angor really flew toward the mortals.
However, he didn't join the crowd. Instead, he went to the snowfield behind them.
A young girl whose limbs were frozen stiff and whose cheeks were flushed red was looking at the gray sky with soulless eyes, waiting for death to come.
"Was she abandoned?" A voice drifted into the girl's ears. She wanted to see who was speaking, but her neck was already frozen, and she couldn't move at all.
"I don't think so. She didn't lose her fur. I don't think she was abandoned. Maybe the humans had no choice but to do so. "
As her voice fell, the girl heard footsteps coming towards her. Soon, a figure appeared in her field of vision.
It was a red-haired man.
He slowly crouched down beside her. His messy red hair was not stained by the snow.
The girl's mind was already frozen. She didn't have time to think about why the snow wasn't falling on him. All her attention was focused on the man's eyes.
They were a pair of golden eyes.
It was the most beautiful color she had ever seen.
Was it a hallucination before death? Or was it real? Either way, the girl didn't care. She was going to die anyway, and it wasn't too bad to see such beautiful eyes before she died.
Just when she thought that this might be the last thought of her life, the man's slightly lazy voice sounded in her ear.
"Do you still remember your name?"
…
The young girl woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around.
She wondered why her frozen body was suddenly warm. However, she didn't think too much about it. She slowly stood up and walked forward.
She was going to find her people and tell them about her dream.
In her dream, someone told her that she only needed to jump into a bottomless chasm to survive.
The girl didn't know whether the dream was real or not. She didn't want to know. She only wanted to tell her people about it.
Angor and Tree Spirit only showed up after the girl disappeared from their sight.
"She really thought she was dreaming," Tree Spirit said.
"To be able to have a beautiful dream in such a cruel environment is also a blessing."
Angor wasn't talking about the snow and the dangerous highlands. He was also talking about the reason why these people migrated.
Live thread infection.
According to the girl, they used to be residents of a small town near the border of the Evernight Kingdom. Because of the Evernight Kingdom's dome, they came to Parmigi Highlands and found a peaceful place to settle down.
It wasn't easy to survive in Parmigi Highlands. They used to have around a thousand people, but due to various reasons, they lost around three hundred people in half a year.
When they finally settled down and thought they could live a peaceful life, they were met with a terrible disaster. That was when they encountered a strange epidemic called Infectious Insanity, which was also known as an outbreak of infection.
The outbreak was so sudden that almost half of the people were infected. Only a few hundred people managed to escape and were forced to find a new place to live.
Along the way, the girl's limbs were frozen stiff, and she had a severe fever. She had no choice but to stay and wait for death to claim her.
However, she didn't expect to meet Angor instead of the grim reaper.
Tree Spirit said, "I'll take you to the ruin first. I've already told your teacher where she lived."
If he could save her, he would try his best. If he couldn't, he had to give up. But even if he had to give up, he couldn't let these people stay outside. The virus was too strong. If it spread beyond Parmigi Highlands, he would be in big trouble.
Angor nodded. "Let's go."
