Sword Art Online: Gray Wheel Dancer

"Pattern~Pattern, patter~Pattern"

Some male snake people, mainly bald and muscular brothers, followed the shared information of snake women, climbed up the winding tunnels, and went up in the severe cold environment to search for this kind of frozen snake people. Come back to thaw for a second transformation.

"Come on~Come on! Here~here! Be careful that the water is too hot!"

"Understood! xN"

‘Boom~Boom~Boom, Boom~Boom, Boom~Boom~Boom, Guru, Guru"

The remaining female Snake members looked for the hot rock and underground river ice caves in this underground cave. They began to rely on stone slabs as a cooking table, plus the deep river water they retrieved, and matched the rough stone that was barely polished. Prepare cooking tools and cook the food...

"Huh~hu~hu, huh~huh"

"The wind and snow are still big! I don't know how long this kind of magic will last? After all, after listening to the instructions of the two adults, I don't know if the snake clan will activate it again while the ice and snow melt. Such an attack!"

"Yeah...Although we have indeed increased the number of people on the offensive like that now! However, the medical supplies is still a big problem. Although the sisters have gradually recovered after a few days of adjustments, if they are now attacked If it does, I don’t know if it will cause the wound to crack..."

"...XN"

I don’t know how much time has passed, watching the heavy snow in front of me, the patrol beast ladies who have been observing the climate on the platform are a little more and more uneasy. After all, although thanks to the blessing of the day, they only need Hiding in this fortress, you can rest for a while, but you have to consider in case the wind and snow stop.

When they formally flee from the large army, they may once again encounter the snake tribe army who has not been killed by the cold winter and awakened from the suspended animation and hibernation. They all shuddered subconsciously.

Then, after not considering these messy things, once again walked to the edge of the platform, and went to the lower area of ​​some scope of visibility, carefully observed and verified.

"Wow~Wow, boom~ Rumble"

(What kind of strange sound is this? There seems to be some animal-like roar in it!)

"Hmm~hmm? Sisters, did you see that a lot of snow suddenly collapsed in that forest?"

"Yes! What's wrong? Isn't this a normal thing?"

"Hmm~hmm! xN"

And at this moment, suddenly in a forest not far from this fortress, after a large amount of snow on the leaves collapsed, a person moved his cute triangular ears, as if he heard something except the breeze. The subtle noise of the beast ladies outside Xue, some in a cold sweat, asked the other beast ladies.

But seeing everyone's answers seemed to make a fuss, and responded to her like this.

(Could it be that I'm too worried?)

"Really? Maybe it's too peaceful lately, a little nervous, right? I thought it was an animal or a group that was active there! Ha~ha~ha!!!"

"You! Don't scare us O~O! This kind of thing is still possible. Have you forgotten some of the situations that the two adults have considered?"

"That's true! Then let's be more careful around and help the other sisters to be alert!"

"Hmm~hmm! xN"

Perhaps this slight over-attentiveness made the beast ladies who were aware of the accident, carefully holding the lighting props of the special magic stone lamp, began to investigate under the edges of these platforms and the top above, but after a while, nothing After discovering some problems, they returned to the fortress with a little peace of mind to get warm and change shifts...

"Huh~hu~hu, huh~huh"

(Almost finished! What a group of cautious beast ladies!)

"Really... Be careful! We are now under the eyes of the beast ladies, braving the wind and snow and working hard. Don't forget many of their beast instincts, and the inherited characteristics of detection and alertness, but they are no better than our snakes. The family is inferior! We almost exposed our position just now!"

"Sorry... Boss! After all, some weird giant bears suddenly appeared in the snow, and they almost succeeded in a sneak attack! That's why they made such a big movement in the fighting species!"

And in the forest of the large collapsed snowdrift that the beast girl had sensed before, the bald and muscular brother before was expensive, and now he is teaching these few snake men who are holding stone weapons, but some are slightly injured.

But they are indeed as they say, with a lot of giant white bear carcasses upside down. It is obvious that they are not bears that were originally in the snow. They seem to have suddenly changed for some reason. They have become so huge and replaced with pure white. fur.

However, they are very hideous and remain violent and lose their vitality. It is obvious that they are full of abnormal possibilities.

(It’s not right...this feeling should be the Philosopher’s Stone? It seems that they should have inadvertently swallowed the Philosopher’s Stone before hibernation, but they haven’t had time to fully evolve, and they can’t stand the pain of huge body changes that pierce the lungs. Escape from your hibernation place, and attack us who came out to work like a vent here, right?)

"It looks like... the whole forest is a bit troublesome. There should be a mutation, which means that not only these bear species, but also our Queen, have found abandoned, or completely filled the existence of the magic stone, it is very likely that the whole Because of this sudden severe winter in the forest, many animals have been forced to take refuge in locations they have never been to before!"

"Go~Go! Take these food and our goal, and quickly go back and report to the Queen, this bad sign of abnormality! It is very likely that it will become more troublesome and uncertain factors in our battle with the beast ladies. indefinite!"

"Yes~Yes! Boss! Hey~hey...xN"

After seeing this troublesome scene in front of me, I felt that it was not entirely accidental that the bald and muscular brothers were expensive. I immediately asked the snake tribes I added to start collecting available supplies, and then confirmed together that there were no other animals or objects trailing, cautiously Normally returned to the underground cave and reported to the snake clan girl...

‘Papa~Papa, puff~puff’

"O~O...Is it a bear species that almost compulsively evolves in the self-unconsciousness? Interesting! Quickly provide me with some reference samples, and then you continue to work on the original plan!"

"Observe my queen!"

"Bah~ah, papa~papa, papa~pah~pah"

And in a relatively large naturally formed cave room filled with many rough-processed stone props, I am still studying some special topics. The snake woman who is watching the parchment scroll now puts it down with great interest. Research work...
