Just two days later.
The deep of the night was silent.
Chen Li and Zhou Hong were once again awakened by a piercing scream from outside.
In the darkness, the two opened their eyes wide, saying nothing, just holding hands tightly and quietly listening to the situation outside. It took quite a while, and only after the noise outside had completely disappeared did they relax again.
"Do you think it could be the same Second Order Demon Beast from a few days ago?" Zhou Hong said.
"It should be!" Chen Li replied, then paused before adding, "We can't go on like this. We're just waiting for death. That poison might not be useful, and even if it is, there would be enough time before it takes effect to kill us."
Now, a heavy snow covered the ground nearly up to the chest, making the roads difficult to traverse. If they encountered a Demon Beast, there would be no escape.
"What should we do then?" Zhou Hong, nestled in Chen Li's arms, asked.
