At their current speed, they should arrive by the afternoon.
"We... should be among the first to reach the explorers' territory, right? I feel like no one is closer than us, right? Could we become the pioneer members?" The small man sped up on his skis.
"...When you put it that way, it's really possible!"
The tall, thin man and the short-haired woman exchanged a glance and also accelerated their pace.
"Hurry, let's strive to be the first to arrive! Even if we can't be the first, we need to be among the leaders!"
"Oh oh oh!"
"Xu Xin, here I come!"
Their voices echoed through the forest, causing snow to fall from the branches around them.
As they passed through the forest, a furry head peeked out from behind a thick, bare tree, watching their backs.
It emerged fully from behind the tree, its black-brown fur marked with red blood patterns.
This was a furry creature wielding an axe, and at this moment, the blood patterns on its body were glowing!
