Walker Of The Worlds

It was a dull and bleak afternoon. The sun was hidden behind the clouds and a chilly breeze was blowing. The trees in the forest rustled and swayed with the wind. Traces of snow could be seen on the tops of trees and even some on the floor of the forest.

A group of ten people was walking through a path in the Northern forest. These people were none other than Lin Mu, Hei Yingjie, and the other members of his team. It had been two days since they had started their journey.

During these two days nothing significant happened, and they simply traveled. Still, on the second day, the winter had intensified and the temperature had fallen even more. Before, the snow would usually melt in the morning and could not be seen. But now traces of it could still be seen.

Lin Mu knew that this was just the start and it would soon get worse. The first month of winter had just started, and there were three in total. Every month would just mean more hardships and lower temperatures. The final month was the worst and there would not be a single day during it that the snow was less than a foot deep.

They didn't exactly know how long it will take for them to reach the location they were aiming for but knew that it should be within a traveling distance of four days at the maximum. Sure, it would take them more time to actually find it, but it should be within that traveling distance.

~Howl~

The team came to a halt as they heard a faint howl coming from the distance.

"Wait, there's a spirit beast ahead." Hei Yingjie gestured and ordered everyone to stop as his spirit sense detected something.

"I'll scout it out." One of the members offered.

"Alright, but be careful. Retreat at the first sight of danger." Hei Yingjie replied but kept his spirit sense already nonetheless.

The man nodded and then went ahead. He returned five minutes later and seemed to be fine.

"Well, what did you find?" Hei Yingjie questioned.

"There's a small pack of steel back wolves ahead. It seems to have been separated from a bigger pack or is probably a hunting party. It's being led by a steel back wolf that has become a spirit beast." The man answered.
