Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2341 - 2342: The Tracking Dilemma

Agunas has been guarding the Cave of Garomar, waiting for the blizzard to end before leaving. On the contrary, Veronia went back to find Feng Yuan after watching for a while.

The blizzard spread continuously from the Cave of Garomar in all directions. Of course, due to the cave’s extensive connectivity, the center was not limited to the area near Lordeman City; otherwise, historical records would have long noted the problem.

After accumulating throughout the day, the terrifying blizzard finally reached its peak. Though the wind wasn’t exceptionally strong, the flying snow obscured the view so much that midday in Lordeman City still felt like twilight.

Streetlights on the streets struggled to illuminate the city under a veil of snow, and the Chief Officer of Lordeman City deployed specialized personnel to clear the accumulated snow in the city without pause.

If the snow isn’t cleared out of the city, doors opening outward might soon become unusable; in fact, this blizzard might completely bury the ground floor.

Of course, Feng Yuan knew that historically, this blizzard indeed caused severe damage to many houses. The city was relatively fine due to the presence of the Chief Officer and spirit beasts, so the problem wasn’t significant, but those villages suffered tremendously.

The terrifying blizzard directly swallowed villages whole. If not for the spirit beasts already present on the Northern Snow Plain during this time, many villages might not have had survivors.

Yet even so, many villages still perished in this super blizzard.

This super blizzard forced the smallest settlements on the Northern Snow Plain to grow from villages to cities, and even smaller towns were abandoned after the blizzard.

No one dared to bet whether the super blizzard would return, and no one wanted to experience that terrifying and hopeless week again.

"The weather is indeed cold."

Rubbing his hands, Feng Yuan glanced around and said. Staying in the inn was too boring for him, so he went out with Xiao Ji to help clear the snow.

Even though there were dedicated personnel constantly working to clear the snow, the thick snow on the ground seemed endless.

Outside the city, the cleared snow was piled into a small mountain, but luckily, spirit beasts existed in each city during this time. With their help, the snow outside the city was continuously pushed further out.

However, this method gradually formed a circle of snow walls surrounding the city, growing taller with a slope, imparting a faint illusion of a lonely castle amidst the sea.

"You’re quite idle, aren’t you?"

Veronia floated beside Feng Yuan and spoke. Glancing at Veronia, Feng Yuan replied irritably.

"Otherwise, just wait for the blizzard to end here? But I feel we’ve miscalculated; given the current situation, they might not come even shortly after the blizzard ends."

Looking at the snow walls, two or three stories high, Feng Yuan appeared speechless. In a matter of days, the snow had piled up so much that it was no wonder the super blizzard halted the entire Northern Snow Plain war; with such intensity, how could they still fight?

Such exaggerated snow made the trade routes impossible to restore anytime soon.

Not just trade routes, but even ordinary people found leaving the city difficult due to the astonishing thickness of the snow.

The super blizzard came with low temperatures, which posed no trouble to Feng Yuan but was quite a headache for ordinary people of this time, as they had far fewer spirit beasts.

"Perhaps. It’s a pity the little crocodile didn’t come. Otherwise, taking us to a later time node might have been better."

Veronia nodded in agreement; according to her estimate, it might take more than half a month for things to return to normal.

The specific situation would depend on the following weather; if the temperature remained at this level, the snow might not melt easily.

"Forget it; the issue isn’t significant. When I return, not much time will have passed. Let’s consider it a getaway."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan didn’t mind much. Although Lordeman City wasn’t particularly entertaining during this time, at least it was an ancient city, far surpassing modern replicas in terms of atmosphere.

Moreover, such super blizzards were a rare sight. At least for Feng Yuan, appreciating the blizzard was an interesting experience.

Veronia couldn’t understand Feng Yuan’s thoughts. Since he didn’t agree with her proposal, she was too lazy to consult Agunas about it.

The blizzard lasted a week before slowly subsiding, but by then, the temperature had dropped to very low levels, making snow melting even more difficult.

At that moment, Feng Yuan unexpectedly discovered a merchant caravan emerging from the thick snow walls.

The caravan leader held a lantern, and the bright yellow light illuminated the surroundings, causing the snow to quickly melt into water as if it had been burned by flames.

The caravan burrowed a tunnel through the snow wall. Yet, as soon as the last person in the caravan left the tunnel, it collapsed and was buried under snow, leaving a recessed channel on the snow wall.

"These people’s skills are indeed extraordinary."

Watching this group, Feng Yuan muttered. From observation alone, he guessed the lantern was not simple; it melted snow and maintained the tunnel’s integrity, preventing collapse.

The caravan naturally noticed Feng Yuan, but seeing his clothes, they didn’t pay much attention; ascetics weren’t uncommon for them and didn’t warrant surprise.

Watching the group enter Lordeman City, Feng Yuan rubbed his chin and said.

"I didn’t expect such luck to encounter them. A pity I can’t follow directly..."

Although they didn’t care about his presence, Feng Yuan knew that following them would arouse suspicion about his intentions.

It’s not a big deal, though. Veronia and her group can keep an eye on them. Their disguise is likely unbreakable, and even if discovered, it might not matter.

"Should we get Agunas to trail them."

Veronia snorted slightly, using her own means to contact Agunas. Though she could watch them herself, she didn’t want to.

This group of Kashantuosi Remnants wore attire much cleaner, orderly, and prettier than the residents of Lordeman City. One glance revealed their differences.

In Veronia’s eyes, the patterns on their clothing weren’t much different from those of Kashantuosi’s clothing.

Currently, Agunas, having been continuously monitoring the Cave of Garomar earlier, was resting in a guest room. Receiving Veronia’s message, Agunas instantly woke up.

It didn’t expect that group to appear so quickly here. Based on time calculations, either their dwelling wasn’t far, or they set out during the blizzard.

Upon seeing their lantern, Feng Yuan couldn’t be sure which; regardless, following them would surely lead him to the Kashantuosi Remnants’ location, so Feng Yuan wasn’t in a hurry.

Looking at the collapsed portion of the snow wall, Feng Yuan pondered and said to Veronia,

"You watch them. I’ll pursue from here to see what’s happening."

As he spoke, the White Wolf Deity leaped before Feng Yuan. With no one paying attention here, Feng Yuan jumped onto the White Wolf Deity’s back and disappeared from sight.

Though the snow was thick and soft, it posed no obstacle to the White Wolf Deity, traversing the high snow piles effortlessly.

Following the collapsed path, Feng Yuan was curious whether it would lead him to the way they came.

"A space portal? Quite cautious."

After a short pursuit, Feng Yuan discovered a circular pit in the snow, and his divine sense detected nothing beneath the snow pit.

Apart from the trail he came along, there were no other traces, leading Feng Yuan to deduce that they arrived post-blizzard, likely using a space gate or similar means.

Tracking them might prove challenging, as Agunas and the others aren’t adept in spatial matters. If this fails, perhaps Gitalien could assist?

Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Feng Yuan contemplated as the White Wolf Deity stood quietly atop the snowpile, its tail gently swaying.
