With the plan set, everything began to proceed in an orderly manner. Word spread that there was no longer any prey around the tribe, and no one objected. Everyone agreed to migrate and leave the land where they had lived for generations in search of a new home.

For survival, everyone worked hard. Nyx was also busy. She not only had to direct the tribe members in preparing, but also had to oversee Zayne packing their home, running around, busy as could be.

Among the more than two hundred people in the tribe, Nyx and Zayne had the most belongings. Even including the chieftain's family, the others didn't have nearly as much.

The majority of their things were various bottles and jars of medicine and herbs, with furs, bone coins, and other valuables stacked up as well. The food mainly consisted of cured meats, frozen meats, sweet potatoes, and a variety of seasonings, all piled high.

With so much stuff, they needed a large cart to carry everything. Fortunately, Zayne was large and strong. Not only could he pull a cart, but he could also carry an additional bamboo basket.

Nyx placed some commonly used tools, a few medicines, and a set of spare clothes in the basket. The remaining space was filled with food, and she also grabbed some Snow Wolf fur to make herself a warm nest.

She transformed into a little rabbit, jumped into the nest, adjusted her position, and peeked her head over the edge of the basket. "How's this, Zayne? Is it too heavy? Can you carry it?"

"It's fine.” Zayne tried it and felt no pressure. “I could carry a few more baskets"

Nyx shook her head, thinking it wasn't worth it. Bamboo baskets weren't as efficient as carts, and this journey would involve enduring the elements. No one knew when they would finally settle down. Even if Zayne was strong, they needed to conserve his energy and not overexert him.

After six or seven days of preparation, everything was ready. Just in time, the heavy snow turned into light snow, perfect for starting the journey.

Before departure, Zayne, as the shaman, led the tribe in offering a ritual to the Beast God. The bonfire blazed, and the flames shot into the sky as everyone gathered in a large circle.

Each person took some of their limited rations as an offering and earnestly prayed to the Beast God, hoping for a safe and smooth journey.

Nyx watched as they threw the offering into the fire, without speaking to stop them. This wasn't about wasting food. For people leaving home for the first time, mental support is just as important. She closed her eyes and bowed in the direction of the bonfire.

The animal-skin drum sounded with a rhythmic thud, and the fire was extinguished. Everyone transformed into their beast form, and the wolf pack set off in a grand procession.

Outside the tribe, the world was eerily silent. The snow was so deep it could nearly bury a person. The tall Snow Wolf led the way, cutting a path, with the chieftain and Moria following closely behind him, each step difficult to take.
