Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

Before the words were finished, Snow Wolf lowered its body. Nyx, agile, crawled out of the cave, mounted the wolf's back, and was steadily carried.

"Long time no see, Moria." she waved and greeted him.

For a moment, Moria was struck with shock, as though seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

"Nyx? You, you, you didn't die?" In extreme shock, he could hardly speak, stumbling over his words.

Hearing that Nyx was dead, Snow Wolf's gray-blue eyes were immediately filled with dissatisfaction and hostility.

"It's me." Nyx was unsurprised by Moria's reaction and didn't mind it.

After the avalanche and being trapped in the cave for so long, those like Lila and

Gina, who believed they were still alive, were the rare minority.

"I didn't die," she calmly explained. "Zayne is still alive too."

As she spoke, she gently rubbed Snow Wolf's head, and its beastly eyes immediately softened, tilting its head to nuzzle her hand.

Moria's heart raced as he struggled to swallow. He gathered his courage after mentally preparing himself and dared to examine the pair more closely.

Indeed, with their current appearance, it was unmistakably Nyx and Zayne. They exhaled white mist into the cold air, proving they were breathing and alive.

Like statues, they stood there for a long while, and Moria gradually accepted this unbelievable reality, his pale face slowly returning to normal.

Lila giggled, mocking him, "Idiot. Scared."

Embarrassed in front of the female he liked, Moria was mortified and couldn't look Nyx in the eye. He gritted his teeth and retorted at Lila, "I'm not scared."

He wasn't the only one. Everyone thought Shaman and Nyx were dead, never to return. Of course, seeing the deceased suddenly alive before their eyes was frightening.

At the foot of the mountain, the hunting team had just succeeded in their hunt, and everyone in the tribe was gathered around, dividing the fresh catch.

The prey was a small calf, not too big, and each person could only get a little meat, not enough to fill their stomachs.

After finishing this hard-earned meal, they would need to exert great effort to search for more food. Day after day, they didn't know when the cold season would end.

People wore worried expressions, their faces nearly numb with concern.

"We're back." Lila happily ran in front.

Hearing this, her mother was the first to look up, her tone reproachful. "Don't run off again next time. You really worry people."

Her gaze passed over Lila and fell on Nyx, riding Snow Wolf. Her words stopped abruptly, and she nearly fainted from the shock, gasping for breath.

Mon, 10 Mar

The once lively atmosphere froze in an instant. The surroundings were first silent, then erupted into intense chaos.

Someone fainted, some of them thought.

99%

They wondered if they had fallen ill too or eaten something poisonous because they also had hallucinations of Shaman and Nyx.

"Don't crowd, Move back a bit," Zayne calmly spoke. The crowd instinctively followed his words, stepping back a little to allow the air to circulate again.noveldrama

Nyx checked the unconscious female and shook her head. "There's nothing serious. She's just weak, and the shock earlier startled her. She'll wake up soon."

No need for excessive treatment-just clear up the misunderstanding, replenish her nutrients, and give her some calming medicine.

"Are my medicines still here?" Zayne lowered his gaze towards the chieftain. "Y-yes," the chieftain hadn't fully regained his senses and stammered.

"They're all here," a small wolf, resembling a Husky, suddenly sprang out from the crowd. It had dropped the meat it was holding and lost its composure. It rushed towards Snow Wolf, crying, "Master, Nyx."

Its fluffy tail spun like a propeller behind it as it almost seemed ready to take off. He knew that Zayne and Nyx were still alive,

If he didn't have to take on his Master's responsibility and become the shaman, he would definitely follow Lila and Gina to the mountains every day to look for them.

Zayne took a reluctant step back, avoiding the enthusiastic charge of the naive youngster.

"Well then, you prepare the medicine." Zayne decided to assess Beau's abilities. During the long period of his Master's disappearance, Beau had been acting as the tribe's shaman. Though it was an unexpected role, he managed it quite well without making any mistakes. But now, in front of Zayne, he was feeling a bit

nervous.

He stole a glance at his Master, hoping for some kind of hint. When Snow Wolf remained unmoved, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and begin looking for herbs, preparing the medicine according to the formula in his memory.

The dried herbs were ground in a clay bowl, making a reassuring rustling sound. Gradually, the tense atmosphere faded, and people began to regain their composure. The chieftain also calmed down.

He observed Snow Wolf and Nyx, noting that they seemed unharmed, not even too emaciated. He couldn't help but be astonished. "You weren't buried in the snow? Where have you been all this time?"

"This is a long story. We were trapped in a cave, only just recently escaping." Nyx briefly glossed over the difficulty of digging their way out, not mentioning the sickness or arguments, and focused on explaining the cave that connected both sides of the mountain.

"There's a lot of food on the other side of the mountain, and the weather is much warmer there. It's more suitable for living. Everyone can move there to settle," she added.

Lila and Gina nodded in agreement, confirming that what Nyx said was true and not a lie.

"Also." Nyx dropped a bombshell. "I found a salt lake and clay there. Our tribe can make salt and burn pottery on our own in the future, without needing to trade at high prices in the big markets."

"What? Salt?" While other things were hard to understand, everyone knew salt. Upon hearing this word, they immediately

became excited.

"You mean, there's salt over there?" Such good news was beyond their wildest dreams. They never even hoped for it.

"Quick; let's go." The chieftain was the most impatient. "We'll move there right away."

It was a land with salt. They couldn't let another tribe take it. It had to be theirs. Their salt supply was almost depleted, and they didn't know what to do about it.

With the chieftain's order, everyone's efficiency reached an unprecedented level.

Lila's mother was still unconscious, but the group had already started packing to leave. Moria carried his mother on his back and followed the main group.

The snow at the cave entrance was no match for the strength of the group. It was quickly cleared, allowing three people to pass simultaneously. The crowd instinctively formed a line and proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Nyx rode on Snow Wolf's back, leading the way at the front, with the chieftain, Lila, and Gina following behind. As they passed through the long cave, they suddenly emerged into an open area.

The sight of birds singing and flowers blooming dazzled the chieftain. He stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath, his eyes shining with wild joy. Hearing it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was far more reassuring. Even if Nyx had described it well, it couldn't compare to witnessing it for himself.

The other side of the mountain was really warm. Food was abundant everywhere, and it seemed within easy reach. It was a much better place to live than their previous tribe.

However, the chieftain gazed into the distance, looking confused. "Where's the salt? Why can't I see it?"
