109: Chapter 109 Terrifying Winter 2 109: Chapter 109 Terrifying Winter 2 At this, Su Tang did not quite understand.
“Why is that?
Since the cold season is so harsh, and the Beastmen still have to search for food and hunt, do they not need these clothes more?”
Hongguo laughed and shook her head, “Silly cub, if the Beastmen really can’t bear the cold, they can use Beast Transformation to warm themselves with their own fur, while female Beastmen cannot undergo Beast Transformation, and cubs can’t control their powers properly, so we are the ones who need the warm clothing the most!”
Su Tang nodded in sudden realization, “I see!”
As if recalling something, Aunt Hongguo sighed.
“Before the onset of each cold season in the past, several older Beastmen in our tribe would leave on their own to seek a quiet place to meet the Beast God!
However, this cold season our tribe’s Beastmen probably won’t leave!”
Su Tang’s eyes widened slightly, filled with apparent disbelief.
“Why is that?”
Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she quickly added.
“Is it because of a shortage of food?
To save some food for the tribe, they chose to leave?”
Aunt Hongguo nodded gravely, “Yes, but this year we found chestnuts, and you, Tangtang, came up with warm clothing, so this cold season should be much better than before, at least no one will be meeting with the Beast God!”
Two elderly women nearby agreed with her sentiment.
“Indeed, if our tribe had not stocked up on chestnuts for this cold season, perhaps in a short while, we would leave quietly!”
“Yes, and then we would find a secluded place to meet the Beast God!”
At these words, Aunt Hongguo became emotional, “An Auntie!
Do not even think of this!
This season we do not lack food!
Do not leave!”
The old Beastwoman named An Auntie laughed and nodded, “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I want to live a little longer, now that the tribe doesn’t lack food, why should I leave?”
Aunt Hongguo breathed a sigh of relief!
Su Tang was quite taken aback!
Looking at the two amiable elderly ladies by her side, calmly saying they were willing to die for the tribe, Su Tang realised she still couldn’t understand!
She had never experienced a severe cold season, never been under the pressure of hunger or cold,
but that didn’t prevent a wave of emotion from stirring in her heart.
“Aunt Hongguo, can you tell me what the cold season is like?”
Aunt Hongguo paused for a moment before answering.
“Terrible!
It’s terrible!
During the cold season, all plants cease to exist, the entire Beast World is covered by snow, everything is white!”
“Beastmen can hardly catch any prey in the cold season, sometimes they even get frostbite from hunting!
Female Beastmen and cubs can’t leave the cave at all!”
Su Tang nodded with a hint of fear, after hearing that even the robust Beastmen could get frostbite, let alone the female Beastmen and cubs!
“The food we store, some of it rots before the cold season even begins!
We have to throw it away!
During the cold season, we all huddle in a cave to conserve firewood!
We eat only one piece of roast meat a day to keep up our strength, otherwise, with so little food, we wouldn’t make it through the whole cold season!”
“Even so, every cold season, a few female Beastmen and cubs get too cold or too hungry and they go to meet the Beast God!
So, Tangtang, the cold season is truly terrifying!”
Su Tang nodded solemnly, although she could not fully understand from Aunt Hongguo’s description, she could still picture the cruel scene!
Blanketed in snow, three feet deep in ice, insanely cold wind, sharp as a knife!
