Spring
Hao Xuan carefully stepped out of the yurt, looking left and right for any wandering figures but there was no one in sight.
It was still dark out and a chilly wind was blowing throughout the camp. It looked like everyone else was resting inside just like the princess so as silent as he possibly could be, Hao Xuan slowly walked out of the camp which wasn't that big to begin with.
He looked towards the nearest watchtower that was manned by two barbarians. They were looking towards the exterior of the camp, keeping an eye on the rolling grass fields that seemed to stretch for miles in all directions.
Hao Xuan changed directions and went around in a circle until he came upon the grazing pens at the back of the camp. Large six-legged Ox-like creatures roamed within this fenced area. They were 4-5 times larger than the Ox's on earth and most of them gave off copious amounts of spiritual Qi, indicating that they were not just any old beasts.
