The forest had transformed into a winter wonderland, with every inch covered in a thick layer of snow. In the distance, the silhouettes of snow-covered mountains loomed, their peaks obscured by the clouds. Most beasts had already settled into hibernation, leaving only the desperate or those without sufficient rations, continued to scavenge for food, leaving their tracks barely visible in the snow.
Amidst this silence, the faint traces of two individuals could be seen moving through the snow-covered paths. Though there were two of them, only one set of tracks marked the snow. These tracks belonged to Wei Xi and Yan Jin, who had left the warmth of the cave a couple of days ago.
