Cangxuan City, Thorn Deer, Azure Nether Guards

In the seventh month after everyone descended upon the Chaotic Continent, fine snow began to fall over the region where Huanyu City stood.

The lush trees outside the city had long since turned into twisted, claw-like dead trees. Most could not even hold a few withered leaves, and only a small number of coniferous forests preserved a hint of green for the region.
