Hey, are you alright? The ice god is getting angry. If you don't wake up soon, you'll be frozen solid!
In the white, snow-covered plains, where heavy snow was falling, Su Yuan lay quietly on the ground. Beside him, four stunning young Beast Girls, tightly wrapped in animal hides, were anxiously calling out to him.
"Fox Nine, why don't we carry him and go? If we don't find shelter soon, we'll all be buried here!"
In a daze, Su Yuan heard voices. He struggled to open his eyes, and through his blurry vision, he could see snowflakes falling before him.
Damn… it's so cold!
Only then did Su Yuan remember that he had been climbing a snowy mountain. Right… there had been an avalanche, and he had been swept away by the heavy snow.
"Ah! Sister Shi Shi, he's awake!"
Su Yuan struggled to prop himself up. Falling asleep in a place like this would mean death. He rubbed his head and asked the people gathered around him:
"Did you save me?"
"No, we found you here when we arrived. By the way… why were you lying in the snow? You could have died."
Su Yuan gave a wry smile.
"I was unlucky—I ran into an avalanche. It's a good thing you all…"
Before he could finish speaking, he froze in shock as he looked at the four girls in front of him.
Their bodies were completely wrapped in brown animal hides, and their arms and legs were tightly bound as well. Most importantly… on their heads were fluffy animal ears.
Cosplay? Who would wear something like that in such deadly cold?
"Who… are you?"
Among the four girls, a petite gray-haired one crouched down. Her cute face was pale, clearly affected by the harsh cold.
"We are from the Red Fox Tribe. Some time ago, we were attacked by the Black Sheep Tribe. Everyone got scattered… only the four of us are left."
There was a trace of sadness in her eyes, while the golden-haired girl beside her remained vigilant.
"A tribe? Did I really get transported to another world…?"
These strange outfits, and the language they spoke—different from Chinese, yet he understood it perfectly. Either he was hallucinating, or he had truly transmigrated.
"System?"
"The shop has been fully charged. Host detected to have Level 1 authority. Level 1 purchasable items are now available."
Damn. There really was a system. He had actually transmigrated.
"Come on, stranger. Do you want to join our tribe and come with us? If we don't find shelter soon, we won't survive the arrival of the ice god."
The white-haired girl looked toward the horizon. The gloomy sky felt oppressive. Su Yuan followed her gaze and immediately understood.
A blizzard. And a massive one at that.
There was no time to think about the system.
"Let's go. Do you know where we can find shelter?"
The girls exchanged glances, then all looked at the white-haired one.
She sighed helplessly.
"I don't know… we can only keep moving forward."
…
"Oh, by the way, we still don't know your name."
As they walked, the gray-haired girl cheerfully moved beside him.
"Su Yuan. And you?"
"My name is Cat Night! Because I'm especially energetic at night!"
So she was a little Cat Girl. Her gray ears were adorable, though her tail was hidden under her hide skirt.
"My name is Fox Nine. My sister says I'm the smartest in the tribe!"
A white-haired fox girl, slightly taller, with a fluffy tail that couldn't be hidden.
"B-Bai… White Rabbit… hello."
A timid rabbit girl with tall ears and crimson eyes, though her long legs made her look elegant.
"Shi Shi!"
A lion girl—1.9 meters tall. Su Yuan only reached her chin.
"Su Yuan, what race are you? Why don't you have ears?"
"Me? I'm just a normal human."
"Human? What kind of race is that?"
All of them looked at him in confusion.
"Are there no humans in this world…?"
He decided not to explain.
"The blizzard is coming. Let's find shelter quickly."
"I don't want to turn into an ice cube!" Cat Night cried.
They searched for hours across the endless snowfield.
"Waaah… White Rabbit is going to die… I haven't even eaten enough yet…"
Even Shi Shi looked lost. All of them turned to Fox Nine.
"I… don't know," she said softly.
Su Yuan sighed.
"Alright. Listen to me. I can keep you alive."
The four Beast Girls looked at him.
"Really?" Fox Nine asked doubtfully.
"Yes. I'll show you how."
He looked around, then pulled out his entrenching tool and shoveled away the top layer of snow. The layer beneath was compact and firm. He cut out a block.
"We'll build an igloo. It's our only option."
He lifted the snow block.
The girls looked confused.
Only Shi Shi stared at the tool, comparing it to the bone dagger at her waist.
"Shi Shi, you'll cut the blocks."
"You're really giving this to me?"
Her eyes lit up.
"Hurry. We need to finish before the ice god arrives."
She nodded and sprang into action. One powerful strike sent snow flying everywhere.
Before long, she returned carrying a snow block of similar size.
