Above the sky, snowflakes fell and swirled and danced in the air, like elves in the snow.

The bone-chilling wind blew the bones, making these snow elves flutter one after another, and they were even more afloat.

A thick layer of snow has been piled up on top of the Fergus family castle, and from a distance, the original white stone Fergus castle looks as if it was carved of ice and snow.

In a room on the second floor, the fireplace was burning, and everyone in the Fergus family stayed in it.

The warmth in the room dispelled the cold outside, and everyone drank milk tea, ate pastries, and chatted.

Look through the glass window and leisurely gaze at the snowflakes outside.

There is glass manufacturing technology in this world, but the technology is not perfect, and the color is not pure.

Therefore, crystal containers will still be used in some containers that require pure color, and glass can be used instead of windows that are not very demanding.

Ordinary civilians hate winter, because it is too cold, their thin clothes are not enough to keep warm, they cannot grow food in winter, and their food is decreasing every day......

But the aristocracy is different.

As nobles, they don't need to worry about food and clothing in winter, they don't need to worry about heating in winter, everything will be prepared for them by the servants, and even the bed, the servants will cover them for warmth first......

During this time, before Gray went to bed, Barbara would warm him up in bed, so every time he slept, it was extremely warm.

Therefore, they are not as disgusted as ordinary civilians as they are, but feel that winter is also a different flavor.

When the mood comes, he will wear a leather jacket and trousers lined with fluff to go to the snow and build a few snowmen.

In the past few days, Sarah has built a lot of snowmen in the castle, and Gray was not interested in it, but she forced her to pull one and still build one.

"Xiaobai, do you also want to go outside to play......

Sarah sat as she groomed the tiger cub next to her.

The current tiger cubs can no longer be called cubs, and after a few months, the tiger cubs have grown from the size of the original domestic cat to the size of the current large dog.

Not counting the tail, the body is more than a meter long, the body is burly and strong, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, slightly with a little naïve, but it looks quite cute.

"Sister Caroline, brother, brother Bernal, brother Ellis, let's go out to play, you see Xiaobai also wants to go outside to play."

I don't know if it's an illusion, when I heard Sarah call Hanhu's name Xiaobai, the corners of Viscount Fergus's eyes twitched imperceptibly.

"It's okay, let's go for a walk together, I heard that there are pheasants in the racecourse under the mountain, see if you can catch a few, and add dinner at noon."

Bernal smiled and said.

"Pheasant?"

Gray's eyes lit up, and his interest suddenly became strong, and he was really interested in hunting.

Ellis also stood up, obviously interested in hunting in the snow.

"Go ahead, I'm not going!"

Viscount Fergus and Madame Milan shook their heads slightly, not showing much interest.

"Carolyn, it's up to you!"

Bernal looked at Caroline, who was holding a book in her hand, and said in a slightly helpless tone.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Caroline closed the book with a little reluctance in her eyes and stood up.

So the group of five put on fur-lined fur jackets, trousers, and boots, and walked out of the castle and walked towards the horse farm down the hill, followed by a cold tiger whose height and body were comparable to that of a large dog.

Stepping on the snow with thick snow, leaving one footprint after another, soft, as if stepping on cotton.

Soon the men arrived at the horse farm at the bottom of the mountain, refused the courtesy of the horse farm steward to lead the horses for them, and walked into the horse farm on foot.

The horse farm provides pasture for hundreds of horses of the Fergus family, and the range is naturally extremely wide.

It is several miles long and wide, and in spring and summer, the grass is extremely luxuriant, and some dense places are even as tall as a man, attracting some pheasants to come and settle down.

The snow was still falling, and the horse farm was full of snow, and the five of them were laughing as they walked.

"Woo-"

Suddenly, the cold tiger who was following them whimpered a little immaturely, and then suddenly pounced in one direction.

Then I saw that in that direction, a gray-haired thing the size of a leather ball that had been motionless moved up, making a "clucking" sound similar to that of a chicken, but with a slightly different sound.

"Pheasant, it's pheasant ......"

Sarah's eyes lit up as she chased after Hanhu.

The pheasant had only run forward a dozen steps before it was blocked by the cold tiger.

The weather was too cold, and the pheasant's legs, which were not slow to run, were frozen stiff, and his running speed was slightly less than that of a child.

Of course, even if its legs weren't frozen, it wouldn't be able to run.

Although he is not yet an adult, only a few months old, Hanhu's current running speed is already about the same as that of ordinary lower-rank blood warriors, and he has to sigh at the rapid growth of blood beasts.

A cold tiger cub can become an existence comparable to a fierce blood warrior in about three years.

And humans, with average qualifications like Bernal, need at least more than ten years to become a blood warrior, while a person with poor qualifications like Ellis may not have a large supply of resources, and the highest achievement may be a blood warrior.

Three years can be compared to the cultivation results of ordinary humans for more than ten years, which is the reason why at the beginning of this world, human beings have been reduced to blood beasts and blood food, and they have always been in a weak position.

Giggle –

Stopping the pheasant, the cold tiger did not bite with his mouth, as if he had found a new toy, he always stopped in front of the pheasant to prevent it from escaping.

"Caught, I've caught......"

In the end, Sarah ran over and pounced on the pheasant, her voice full of excitement.

I blushed, and I don't know if I was frozen, or because I was so excited.

"Sister Caroline, brother, look, I caught it!"

Grabbing the pheasant with both hands, Sarah came to Caroline and Gray like a treasure, and almost didn't say: Praise me.

"Awesome!"

"That's amazing!"

The two of them were not stingy, they both opened their mouths to praise, which immediately caused Sarah to be even more proud.

The five of them wandered around the horse farm, and before long they all had a harvest, and each of them had a pheasant in his hand, and Sarah had two hands, one holding a pheasant in one hand.

The weight of the pheasant is not light, one weighs several pounds, the little girl carried it in the snow, it was already a little difficult to walk, but she just didn't let go, and she didn't want Gray and others to help her take it, for fear that the pheasant would be snatched away by Gray and others.

After walking in the snow for more than an hour, the group approached the boundary of the horse farm.

Not far away, you can see a row of things that resemble fences, which are the boundaries of the horse farm, and are made of wooden fences.

"Let's go, go back!"

Everyone had something to gain, and after walking in the snow for more than an hour, Sarah's excitement had passed, and Bernal proposed to return, but Gray and the others had no opinion.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Grimm's eyes looked in a puzzled direction.

"What's wrong with Gray?"

Perceiving Gray's anomaly, Bernal asked.

"Look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Gray's finger, and they saw that there seemed to be a hole in the fence in the distance, but because of the snow everywhere, it was not obvious, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it clearly.

Everyone walked over and found that it was a one-meter-high hole, and the fence near the hole had traces of being bitten by sharp teeth.

"Something has entered the racecourse!"

Bernal said with a slight frown.

"Judging by the size of this hole, it should be a large beast, could it be a blood beast, why don't we go back and inform my father first?"

Knowing that it was a large beast, Ellis was worried that if it was a blood beast that broke into the stable, all of them would be doomed.

"It shouldn't be a blood beast, there are some low mountains around here, at most some large beasts like bears."

Caroline shook her head.

"So, Ellis, you and Sarah go and inform the steward of the racecourse, and ask him to send someone to inform my father to bring a few teams of soldiers over to help, and I, Gray, and Caroline will look around first to see if we can find the beast."

Bernal thought for a moment and commanded.

Sarah didn't practice the blood method and had almost no combat power, so naturally she couldn't stay here, and let her go back, if she encountered that large beast, it would be too dangerous, so she needed someone to protect her.

Ellis and Sarah leave, and Gray, Bernal, Caroline, and Hanhu are centered around the hole and look for them.

"Could the big beast have already left?"

After searching for almost half an hour, none of the three of them found the large beast, not even the footprints, Gray couldn't help but be suspicious.

"It's possible."

Rubbing her hands, Caroline was not sure.

"Let's search for a while, if it still doesn't work, let's go back for the time being, and let my father send soldiers to search for the carpet when the time comes."

Bernal Road.

This is the Fergus family's horse farm, there are hundreds of horses in the horse farm, and there are many ordinary people, it is obviously very dangerous to let a large beast stay in it, so whether you can find the big beast or not, you have to search the entire horse farm in a carpet manner.

"Okay."

Gray and Caroline naturally have no opinion.

The three of them searched again, and almost half an hour passed, and it was estimated that Viscount Fergus should have received the news and led the soldiers over.

Whew—

Hanhu, who was being led by the three of them, suddenly roared, different from the usual slightly immature voice, this time, his voice was obviously vigilant and demonstrative.

And just as he roared, not far away, a place like a snowdrift suddenly exploded, and a figure more than a meter long suddenly burst out of the snowdrift, revealing hideous teeth, and quickly pounced on this side.
