The land near the coast is unusually monotonous, with a few thin trees growing here and there, and in winter only bare trunks remain, and even vigorous weeds are very rare in the vast expanse of land, and in winter they are completely gone, and there is nothing but rocks and snowflakes under the slopes, and the smell of desolation is everywhere.

The male wolves swept their gaze over the strong and tall stag, and among the stags on the periphery of the circle, they confirmed their target, it was a stag lying on the very edge, it was not very old, and its physique was quite strong among the deer, but unfortunately, its hind feet were strangely twisted, obviously injured.

In addition, they target two old deer and a fawn sandwiched between a stag.

The wolves are not very ambitious, they just want to have a full meal, and for this small pack, the harvest of three adult deer is enough, and the fawns are a surprise when they get closer.

The reason why the reindeer herd gathers and migrates is to better protect the female deer and the young deer, and when on the way, the female deer walks in front and in the middle with the young deer, and the male deer is like a guard, surrounding the broken back, showing a protective posture, and when resting, the array of the reindeer herd is also roughly the same.

Therefore, the old wolf did not look for the female deer at the beginning, and the breakthrough it was looking for was the old deer, which was old and frail, and if it was lucky, it could also find the sick deer with disabilities on the road.

The male wolf led by the male wolf had reached the expected attack range, and its gloomy eyes flashed, and suddenly rushed towards the target, the lame buck!

Several wild wolves rushed into the sleeping deer herd almost simultaneously, they were well-targeted, their attacks fierce, and soon, one after another angry deer roared.

The hunters charged, the reindeer rose in a hurry, the female deer took the young deer, and ran away in the direction that they had been optimistic about, a large number of reindeer moved, and the panicked deer roared endlessly, but in the dark night, no deer knew who was attacked.

The leader of the reindeer was awakened by the roar of a group of his kindred, and he got up in a hurry, and listened to the panicked roar that kept ringing, but for a moment it was stunned, and the hoof called anxiously to kiss the roll, and only after getting a little response did it slowly settle down, at this moment, it could no longer care about his thoughts.

Even if the panic in its heart came out again, and those strange thoughts were clear again, it had no space to perceive, its panicked eyes searched around, and its ears tried their best to catch the young deer's chirp, but nothing was found.

The chirping of the deer, the sound of hooves, was a mess.

In the dark night, the snowflakes kept falling, and the young figure was scurrying around, and it could not see clearly, let alone confirm the direction.

After the deer scattered, down the hillside, two big male wolves were fighting the lame stag, the wild wolves howled excitedly, the stag's screams were high-pitched and panicked, and the terrible deer cries added to the desolation in the cold snow.

However, the reindeer that rushed past it did not help.

When it was bitten by the wild wolf, its eyes showed sadness, it may have predicted in its heart that it was lame, and it probably lived for a short time, but seeing that the end was ahead, it couldn't help but wonder, is it a little lucky, at least back to the place where it was born and raised......

A she-wolf jumped and chased after the fawn that was running in a panic, but just as it was about to bite the fawn and retreat, a huge antler swept over, and with a bang, the she-wolf's body fell to the ground.

The pain of being hit by the antlers caused the she-wolf to let out a hoarse growl, and she rose angrily, hunched over, and stared fiercely at the sudden attacker.

The reindeer leader looked coldly at the slightly thin she-wolf in front of him, but it did not despise it, because it knew that no matter how thin the wild wolf was, it was also a beast, and it had sharp fangs and claws.

The panicked fawn of the "young ......" ran out of a distance, but kept wandering back, unwilling to keep up with the reindeer team in front, with ignorant and immature eyes, with anxiety and helplessness, kept looking at a wolf and a deer in the distance.

"Whew!" The she-wolf let out a threatening growl, she wanted to scare off the stag in front of her, a young and strong adult stag was not her target, and she would not be a match for a strong stag after being hungry for many days, so she was just tentative, wanting to try.

Unmoved, the reindeer leader even lowered his antlers a few points and aimed them at the she-wolf who was trying to scare it away with a threat.

The hard deer corner into the eyes, the she-wolf only felt a faint pain in her body, unwilling to roar, the she-wolf finally turned away, although the young deer is fresh, but it is just an addition, as long as the harvest of the wolves is ensured, the wolf cubs will not starve, it does not need to fight hard.

"Young~~" Looking at the reindeer leader who retreated, the fawn showed a cheerful chirp.

The reindeer leader's gaze at the fawn softened slightly, and the coldness and anger in his eyes towards the she-wolf gradually subsided.

Running to the tail of the deer herd with the fawn, the reindeer leader suddenly had a strange thought, today it can rely on its strong body to force off a thin she-wolf, so what about the future? Does it make itself strong enough to keep the clan safe?

Although the antlers of the buck have always had the function of protection and attack, in most cases, the beast not only has an innate attack advantage but is also very cunning, and it is very difficult to win with the antlers.

The inheritance and survival experience of the ancestors told the reindeer leader that escape was the advantage of its survival compared to fighting, but it still unconsciously planted a seed in its heart.

——————————

After several days of running, the reindeer herd reached a rocky area, and all the adult reindeer were happy to see this familiar landscape, and there was a long river from this rocky land, and they would be safe when they crossed it.

The reindeer leader looked at the snow-covered world in front of him, and his heart ushered in a long-lost relaxation.

The tundra, their destination, is just around the corner.

The fawn looked at the obviously excited deer beside him, it had just been born, and the fawn born on the migration route did not know what it meant, but it would understand when it walked through the area again next year.

"Young—" The deer chirped in all directions, and the reindeer ran happily in the direction of the riverbank.

However, at this time, there was a sudden shaking of the sky.

"Young!

The panicked fawn instantly ran to the reindeer leader, and its small body hid under the belly of the reindeer leader, but at this moment, the reindeer leader was unaware, and it shouted loudly in panic, trying to gather its own small family members.

The sudden earthquake has scared the reindeer into panic, and the precipitated survival experience allows most of the reindeer to run to the wide area, according to past experience, as long as they wait in the wide area, there will be no danger.

But this time, the seasoned reindeer miscalculated, and huge cracks suddenly appeared, and countless splits spread as if the ground had been torn apart.

"Young—" The reindeer, unable to dodge, were swallowed by the cracks, and the panicked reindeer herd scattered in all directions, and the reindeer leader panicked and scurried over the rocks, trying to avoid the deadly danger.

The crisis of the collapse of the sky and the earth has dissipated all reason, and the desire to survive occupies the high ground, at this moment, the reindeer leader can't remember the car, can't remember the young deer, only the snowflakes are constantly falling in its eyes, and there is only a howling cold wind in its ears.

The reindeer herd, which had already set foot on familiar land, fell apart in the earthquake, and the screams of countless reindeer gradually disappeared into the wind and snow.

By the time the terrible shaking of the earth had subsided, the reindeer leader was already standing in a strange land.

Towering mountain peaks, deep trenches, freshly raised earth slopes, everything is so strange.

The reindeer leader's legs and feet were bent, and the rapid running, coupled with the exhaustion of the shocking soul, made it unable to support it.

It lay on the ground, and the falling snow could not hide its huge body, and gradually turned into a blue deer boy exposed in confusion.

"Young ......"

Behind him, a few sporadic reindeer lay on the ground and wailed, they rushed here with the reindeer leader in a panic, and all the reindeer here were confused in the face of the unfamiliar environment.

The reindeer leader looked at his fellow clansmen around him, most of the other members of the reindeer family, but fortunately, there were a few of his own animals, which calmed the panic in his heart a lot.

Behind the small slope of the "young ......", an anxious young deer roared, and the panicked figure of the young deer came into view.

The moment they saw the reindeer, the young deer chirped in surprise, and then ran quickly towards a female deer.

Not it, not the fawn.

The moment he saw the fawn, the reindeer leader knew that the young deer who had followed him all the way to the second half of the journey was lost.

It doesn't seem strange to lose a young deer, not to mention such an abrupt disaster, even in the normal migration on weekdays, there are also young deer lost in the road from time to time.

This seems to be an ordinary thing, but it makes the heart of the reindeer leader heavy, it is a little uncomfortable, and its limbs want to stand up, but its body is heavy as if it is not its own.

After struggling, it finally stood up, but when it looked around, the deer's hooves smashed on the ground again, and the reindeer leader looked at the falling snow in the sky in a daze, and its heart, like limbs, quickly became cold at this moment.

It wanted to find it, but it didn't know where to look for the lost fawn, or how to find its former companion.

On the newly raised dirt slope, the earth was turned out under the deer's hoof prints, and the new mud carried a deep clay smell, and gradually, this smell was melted by snowflakes, and the bare mud turned white, and the snow covered all traces.

Snowflakes fall silently, and the reindeer lie on the hillside, gathering together to keep each other warm as the temperature drops.

The reindeer leader's mind gradually returned to the cold breath of the heavy snow, and he looked around, looking at the unfamiliar landscape around him, and the cracks in the ground that made the reindeer uneasy, and it seemed that everything suddenly became unpredictable.

The direction that cannot be identified, the groups that cannot be found, the frozen soil of the past where I don't know where......

Suddenly, a sober question suddenly appeared in the misty mind of the reindeer leader

———— even if it recognizes the direction, will it still find a familiar place to grow?

As the snow gets heavier, the reindeer must find a place to shelter from the snow, or they will simply keep each other warm, and the snowflakes will bury them in ice in the middle of the night.

"Rustling ......" The sound of snow falling mixed into the cold wind, and the reindeer leader stood up again, this time, it stood firmly.

"Young—" The summoned deer chirped calmly and powerfully, with a familiar power, and gathered the reindeer together.

At this moment, the hundred reindeer on this small hillside reunited into a single group.

The leader of the reindeer, with the largest antlers and physique, became the leader of this new herd, and he stepped on his hooves and led the reindeer behind him into new worlds.

The reindeer made their way along the regrouped unfamiliar mountain belt, and as the snow piled up, much of the ground was no longer visible, and the snow under their feet gradually increased, and the depth of the reindeer varied, but this was nothing to the reindeer.

The creaking sound of snow treading sounded under the hooves, and the reindeer leader finally saw the shadows of the trees in front of them, and the reindeer were refreshed and stepped forward.

Soon they came to the bottom of the trees, which was a barren grove, and most of the surrounding trees were sparse and low, with only a few large trees with luxuriant branches, many of which were crooked, and looked like they were no longer forests.

Apparently, these trees were also survivors of a major earthquake.

The reindeer did not dislike this irregular grove, they actively sought out large trees and places with many trees, and then hid under the trees to avoid the wind and snow.

The reindeer leader looked around, and suddenly, he lowered his head and dragged a section of the trunk out of the snow.

Looking at the trunk of the tree about three meters, and then at the crooked tree in front of him, a light flashed in the mind of the reindeer leader.

Soon, the reindeer saw their new leader behaving strangely under the tree, and a small fallen tree, re-erected in a crooked posture to support the tree.

The reindeer didn't know why, but they thought it was very new, and the reindeer leader's eyes flashed, he had found a way to shelter the deer!

Summoned by the reindeer leader, the reindeer herd quickly moved into action, and the clumsy reindeer struggled to do delicate things, but they still built a few primitive "shacks" for themselves.

Either supported by sloping trees or by a sudden rise of a high slope, a shelter is formed here and there supported by fallen trees.

The reindeer no longer have to face the snow directly, which greatly improves their warmth, and the reindeer who snuggle up to each other express their helplessness against the cold wind blowing in, but they are not afraid of the cold wind, and the thickened east hair and tough cortex can resist the cold wind for them.

——————————

At dawn, the reindeer set off again, and they did not stop in the woods.

The sparse and crooked trees are not their home, and the reindeer leader is well aware that these "shacks" do not carry much wind and snow for them, and the snow has been weighing heavily on the trees overnight.

The reindeer are back on their hooves, and they know that they must find a place to survive the winter before they run out of energy, but where should they go to find a place to survive after losing the direction of the frozen ground?

The reindeer leaders didn't know, and neither did the reindeer, but they still walked forward.

Even if they don't know how to return, they must walk on the road.

This is the life of a reindeer, a life of constant travel.
