 "Huh..."

The cold wind, which had become very weak, was blowing gently, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes falling from the sky were slowly blown around by the breeze.

The two investigators walked along the creek toward the source. After about half an hour, they stopped.

There is a hill in the distance, and the stream flows from the foot of the hill.

The investigator wearing a thick winter coat looked at the hills in the distance and said, "If we go further, we will reach the end. If something happens later, don't be impulsive."

The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses turned to look at his companion and said, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive... I'm not a newcomer, how could I make that kind of mistake?"

The two investigators chatted for a few words and then continued walking forward.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. At this time, their eyes were looking at a pool of more than 100 square meters at the foot of the mountain.

This pool is the source of the creek. Now two people are standing on the shore and see bubbles rising from the pool from time to time.

"It's really a hot spring! Didn't our people investigate the situation around here before? No hot spring was found at all. How did this hot spring appear?" The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses said in surprise.

Returning towards the valley, after walking for more than a minute, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead suddenly stopped.

"what is that?"

Therefore, safety precautions must be taken. Even if it may be useless, you must do it conscientiously.

The gloomy sky is constantly snowing. Although the pig-headed warriors are somewhat accustomed to such bad weather, they still can't help but complain.

Not long ago, the pig-headed warriors fought again on the frozen lake, nipping any possible danger in the bud.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work." said the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain, and then followed his men to the warehouse where the lumber was stacked.

"You've been here for so many days and you're not used to it yet!"

Now that the underground cave has been renovated, some things can be stored in it.

It took him more than ten minutes to use his senses to investigate the situation at the scene, but he found no sign of the presence of strange beasts.

The sky was about to get completely dark. Counting the time, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was on duty on the mountain not far away should be back soon.

As long as there are no signs of alien beasts, it's good.

He walked down the mountain in an orderly manner, and after a while, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"According to your instructions, we have renovated the cave. Now it has reached the final stage. Do you want to take a look?" the pig-headed warrior said with a smile.

"This is not far from where he is. If something happens, according to the previous plan, I will find something here."

The thing that appeared on the left front caught the attention of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then quickly approached it.

With such bad weather, those rebels with ill intentions in the forest will most likely not come out to take action in such weather.

Since it snowed very heavily today, a lot of snow accumulated in the camp in the afternoon. So just before dinner, the pig-headed warriors in the camp began to use tools to clear the snow in the camp.

"Yeah." The investigator wearing a thick winter coat nodded, and then the two investigators left the bubbling pool.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up his weapon and left the cave. As soon as he walked out, the snow brought by the cold wind outside hit his body, making him feel cold.

…………

On the other side of the forest, the pig-headed camp located in the valley became a little lively in the evening.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up, came to the bonfire, and extinguished the burning bonfire.

"Now you can go back with peace of mind." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the endless ice in the distance and thought in his heart.

…………

After breakfast in the morning, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain selected some people to transform the bottom hole that appeared in the warehouse where the lumber was stacked.

"Gudong, Gudong, Gudong..."

As the temperature drops, the frozen lake surface that had cracked has refrozen, and it has become thicker than before.

"Strange, no abnormality was found?" the investigator wearing thick winter clothes said in confusion.

But there are cabins to live in, so no one would want to settle in this cave at the moment.

Since the outpost was established, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead has been here for several days, and nothing particularly dangerous happened during this period.

"What's the matter?" Hearing his subordinate calling him, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain immediately looked away from the distance, then turned his head to look at the other person and asked.

After thinking for a while, I decided not to take these mushrooms back and save them for tomorrow.

"It's...possible!" the investigator wearing thick winter clothes said uncertainly, because the spiritual detection tool in his hand had problems before.

"Could it be that there was something wrong with the spiritual weapon, so we detected an abnormality just now..." the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses speculated.

The investigator wearing a thick winter coat nodded in agreement, "Yes, but we have to wait until the weather gets warmer before we can build a bathing place here."

The frequency of bubbles in the bubbling water pool suddenly increases, spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly appear in the water pool, and the amount of free spiritual energy in the air increases.

This time I want to check if there is anything unusual around me before going back.

The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses looked around, then his eyes fell on the warm pool in front of him, he thought for a few seconds, and then said to his companion.

A little further away, the tall trees could not withstand the ravages of the cold wind, and they were broken and fell down.

The sky outside is getting darker and darker, and in another ten or twenty minutes, it should be completely dark.

Take advantage of this time to go on a patrol. If there are any signs of danger, it's best to deal with them as soon as possible.

The snowflakes falling from the sky fell into the hot spring and melted quickly.

The pig-headed warriors in the camp had cleared away all the accumulated snow in the camp, and everyone returned to the warm cabins to rest before having dinner.

"Let's go to other places and see if there are any abnormalities." The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses suggested.

"Is something going on?"

The original plan was to take another day, but I didn't expect to reach the finishing stage so quickly, which surprised the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.

In fact, the renovated underground caves can also be used to live in.

"If you want to know how this hot spring appeared, you can only invite professionals to investigate." The investigator wearing a thick winter coat said as he took off his gloves and reached out to test the temperature of the water pool in front of him.

There were a few clicks, and wherever the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked, one after another, all the large bare trees were blown down by the wind.

The busy pig-headed warriors smelled the aroma of the food and became more energetic.

The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, quickened his pace and returned to the camp.

Based on observations over the past few days, I am afraid that after this cold wave passes, at least 20 to 30% of the trees in the forest will be blown off by the cold wind.

Suddenly changing his mind, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead braved the wind and snow and walked towards the frozen lake in the distance.

The walls are inlaid with luminous stones, and the bright light illuminates the transformed cave.

The alluring aroma wafts from the cooking place and can be smelled from afar.

Not far away, at the cooking place, the chef was busy preparing dinner for everyone.

"After we go back, let's report on the situation here... By the way, we inspected the spiritual weapons before and found that the density of spiritual energy here is very high.

But I sensed the surrounding situation and didn't realize how high the spiritual energy density was." said the investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses.

…………

"It's really unbearable to have to endure this bad weather for a few more months."

The pig-headed warriors were chatting while clearing the snow in the ground. A little further away, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood under the eaves and looked into the distance.

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain followed his men to the cave to inspect it. The cave was modified based on the design drawings he drew himself. After seeing it, he was very satisfied.

Of course, such speculation cannot be said to be 100% correct. No one dares to guarantee that the rebels in the forest will never come out to look for them in bad weather.

Standing under the eaves, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked into the distance, feeling a little confused at this time as to why the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead hadn't come back yet.

A strange thing happened. After withdrawing the detection weapon and activating it, I conducted a detailed investigation around it, but found nothing unusual.

"The conditions here are very good. We can build a bathhouse with this hot spring..."

After inspecting the cave, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain explained a few words to his men and then left.

The investigator wearing a thick winter coat once again injected spiritual energy into the detection weapon in his hand, activated it, and began to conduct a detailed investigation around him.

"How's it going? How's the temperature?" The investigator wearing black-rimmed glasses asked as he watched his companion put his hand into the puddle.

Within a few minutes, a figure appeared in the white snow and came to the entrance of the valley.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped to observe the frozen lake in the distance, thinking that it had been a few days since he visited the frozen lake.

"Hiss...it's so cold!"

The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood under the eaves, patiently waiting for his friend to return. At this moment, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead also came to the shore of the frozen lake.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked around the shore of the frozen lake in a large circle.

"Yes!" The pig-headed warrior nodded, "Everyone is very motivated, that's why we can get things done so quickly, captain."

"The temperature should be thirty-four to five degrees." The investigator, who was wearing a thick winter coat, took his hands away from the warm water, shook them, and then put on gloves.

The wind suddenly blew violently, and the trees swaying violently not far away shook off all the snow that had fallen on their branches.

A little further away is a frozen lake. The several times strange beasts appeared and attacked the camps in the valley were all caused by the strange beasts existing in this frozen lake.

"Okay, okay, just say a few words and quickly clear away the snow, so you can go back to the house and have a rest."

Before leaving, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, began to sense and explore the surrounding area.

The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult to stay where we were.

"probably not."

"Captain." At this time, a pig-headed warrior came to the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain and shouted.

"How can you get used to it? It's not like you don't know that my hometown has never snowed so heavily..."

"Another day has passed, time flies so fast!" In the warm cave, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was lying on the wooden bed, looking at the swaying bonfire in the distance, and said to himself

Said to himself.

As the weather became worse and worse, the pig-headed captain and his friends, who had a brown birthmark on their foreheads, came to a conclusion.

"You transformed it so quickly."

"call……"

The rebels' comprehensive combat power is not low. Once they are found, it is unlikely to block their attack.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was about to enter the valley and return to the camp. Suddenly, he stopped, then turned around and looked somewhere behind him.

After the renovation, the cave is no longer as dark as before.

Then he glanced at a basket placed not far from the campfire. This basket contained the mushrooms he picked in the morning.

When he returned to the eaves, he found that most of the snow accumulated in the camp had been cleared away by the pig-headed warriors.

Originally, there were a lot of reeds growing on the shore of the lake, which were as high as two or three meters high. But now because of the cold weather, all of them have disappeared.

The reason why he walked over unabashedly and brazenly was because what the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead discovered was not a strange beast.

Some finger-sized white beetles crawled in the snow.

You know, it's over 30 degrees below zero, and in such a bad and harsh environment, no normal creature would choose to go out for a walk in this kind of weather.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the white beetles that were crawling slowly. Since these little things were very small and not strange animals, he felt very confident and approached them to check.
