Everyone was badly startled and began backing away.
"I'll do it!"
Knife in hand, Huang Wei took the initiative to approach the Snow Demon Servant.
The corpse's mouth was long.
It was just like a snake's mouth.
More importantly, there was actually a tongue tipped with a sharp needle inside.
That tongue stabbed toward Huang Wei.
It was fast!
Huang Wei swung his knife, severing the corpse's head just as the tongue touched him.
Even after being cut in two, the corpse was still twitching.
Huang Wei looked at the back of his hand and found it covered in frost.
It was even a little numb.
The tongue was clearly venomous.
Despite taking the offensive, Huang Wei had still been startled by the surprise attack.
Even his breathing had grown much heavier.
Yang Defa pressed a hand to his chest, shaken by the close call.
If Su Chen hadn't warned him, he might have been a corpse.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Yang Defa spat.
Su Chen walked over to the Snow Demon Servant's corpse and used the system to check its information.
When he warned Yang Defa earlier, he had already suspected it was a Snow Demon Servant.
Now, he wanted to verify it.
[Name]: Snow Demon Servant [Number]: Weird Entities 99123 [Traits]: Usually hides in snow and lives in groups. When a target approaches and lets its guard down, it suddenly attacks with its tongue. Its venom has a paralyzing effect. [Weaknesses]: Has some aversion to high temperatures. Its mobility decreases outside snowy areas.
It really was a Snow Demon Servant.
That number?
Su Chen remembered that the Purple Stiff from before had a number over a hundred higher than the Snow Demon Servant's.
This thing was harder to deal with than the Purple Stiff.
Indeed!
That surprise attack had been far too fast.
Ordinary people could easily fall victim to it.
After reading the description, Su Chen said, "This is a Snow Demon Servant. There are more in the snow nearby, so be careful."
"Its venom has an anesthetic effect. You could be dragged away without even realizing it."
Su Chen's words made everyone instinctively look around.
"Should we get out of here right away?"
Yang Defa frowned as he looked at the surrounding snow.
Compared to the Giant Bear, these things were far harder to guard against.
"They're all around us, probably for over thirty kilometers."
"These are just small fry. Something truly powerful will come after us in three days."
"But traveling through the snow is difficult, and vehicles can easily get stuck. Leaving won't be that easy."
It wasn't that they didn't want to leave, but that they couldn't.
Just then, Xiao Zixia walked up beside Su Chen and tugged on his clothes.
Su Chen looked puzzled.
Before Xiao Zixia could say a word, she collapsed unconscious on the ground.
The people around them looked at Su Chen.
"It's nothing!"
"She's probably exhausted from the fight. She'll be fine after some sleep."
Su Chen didn't explain that this was an effect of Xiao Zixia using Vines.
That was Xiao Zixia's weakness. If he revealed it, people could use it against her.
Su Chen picked Xiao Zixia up and headed for his Refrigerated Truck, intending to let her sleep inside for a while.
Xiao Zixia had probably wanted to tell him she was about to faint and ask him to look after her.
There was nothing to be done about it.
After settling Xiao Zixia in, Su Chen retrieved a Raincoat and gloves from the cargo compartment.
Su Chen covered himself up tightly.
The situation earlier had been urgent.
He knew contact with Blue Snow would cause memory loss, but hadn't made much preparation.
Su Chen was just about to tell the others about this.
Just then, the window rolled down, and Su Xi asked curiously, "Big brother."
"It's not snowing. Why are you wearing a Raincoat?"
The sight of the open window immediately alerted Su Chen to the danger.
"Close the window, quick."
"This snow causes memory loss. I was just about to tell the others."
Su Chen cautioned her.
Who knew whether snow might drift inside?
"Big brother, why don't you just say the snow is harmful?"
Su Xi shook her head, her expression serious.
Just say it's harmful?
Su Chen paused, then suddenly understood what Su Xi meant.
The news that the snow caused memory loss couldn't spread so soon.
It would cause panic!
He could only say that the snow could cause harm.
Su Chen admitted that, having just woken up and received the information, he hadn't been thinking clearly enough.
Su Xi had done better in this regard.
"All right."
Su Chen looked toward the Refrigerated Truck and made an OK gesture.
Su Xi made a face and stuck out her tongue, happy to have helped.
Clever little thing!
Looking at the cab of the Refrigerated Truck, Su Chen smiled back.
Su Chen walked up to Yang Defa and cautioned him, "Brother Yang, tell everyone not to touch the snow directly. They must wear raincoats."
"This snow is harmful. It's a precaution."
Su Chen did his best to get everyone to take precautions.
"It's poisonous?"
Yang Defa frowned and nodded.
While Yang Defa went to get protective gear, Su Chen found a pen.
He began writing some information on the back of his hand.
This was just in case.
A moment later.
Yang Defa came over carrying a large sun umbrella.
It was the kind street vendors used for their stalls.
Once planted on the ground, the umbrella immediately blocked the scattered snowflakes falling from the sky.
Some of the people behind Yang Defa had put on white raincoats.
They looked slightly different from the other survivors.
Yang Defa also handed Huang Wei a raincoat.
After taking precautions against the falling snow, Su Chen turned his attention to the Giant Bear.
These were the spoils, and they certainly needed dividing.
"Shall we divide up the meat?"
Su Chen suggested.
He felt very hungry, possibly because he had just used his power.
Grrr.
At the mention of dividing the meat, Huang Wei's stomach rumbled too.
Su Chen had acquired butchering knife techniques from the Yang family, and now they came in handy.
He picked up the Pig-Killing Knife and began skinning it.
When he finished.
He also checked it with the system.
[Name]: Mutated black bear hide [Traits]: Warm and tough. Can withstand some damage from blades, and even attacks from Weird Entities. [Weaknesses]: Vulnerable to flames and washing with water.
Judging by this.
The hide was worth a little more than the meat.
Su Chen then removed the organs and separated the meat from the bones.
Everything was placed on a waterproof tarp in several tall heaps.
"Let me explain the shares."
"Three people participated in this fight, and there are four Sequence members in the team."
"But the meat will be split into four shares."
"As I said before, every Sequence member gets a share. My sister didn't participate in the fight, but she should still get one."
"And as the captain, I get the largest share."
"My sister and I get forty percent, and you and Xiao Zixia each get thirty percent. No issues with that, right?"
Su Chen laid out the shares.
Huang Wei thought it over and nodded.
Su Chen had killed the Giant Bear, so he should have received forty percent himself.
Besides, Su Chen also deserved credit for leading the way and providing crucial information.
Even fifty percent for him and Su Xi wouldn't have been excessive. Forty percent was truly too little.
"I want all the organs!"
Huang Wei was the first to request the organs.
To him, the high-calorie organs were more valuable than ordinary meat.
"The organs count as twenty percent. Do you want the hide and bones?"
"The hide counts as twenty percent, the bones ten percent, and the meat fifty percent."
Su Chen pointed at the other parts.
He liked meat and really had no interest in organs.
He figured Xiao Zixia wouldn't like them either.
Huang Wei said, "I don't want the hide or bones."
He was growing hair every day now and had long since grown sick of fur.
The bones were useless to him, too.
"Then you get a hundred jin of meat."
Su Chen also gave Huang Wei a hundred jin of meat.
The black bear weighed about a thousand jin. After removing the bones, organs, and hide, only around five hundred jin remained.
"That works!"
Huang Wei was truly satisfied with the meat and organs he received.
After Huang Wei received his spoils, Su Chen took two hundred jin of meat.
As for the rest.
They would divide it after Xiao Zixia woke up.
Whether Xiao Zixia wanted meat or hide, there would be room to adjust.
At that moment.
After receiving his meat, Huang Wei planned to light a fire and cook.
Seeing this, Su Chen remembered a piece of system intelligence.
It said Snow Demon Servants feared high temperatures, and flames could drive them away.
The fire could also be used to roast meat.
And melt the snow.
Right then, Su Chen had an idea.
Su Chen called Yang Defa over and instructed him, "Brother Yang, have people build a few more fires in front of my vehicle."
"Remember, extend the line of fire westward."
Yang Defa was puzzled, but he did as he was told without asking anything.
He had people chop down some dead trees amid the snow, then used petroleum to light them.
A huge, elongated fire was built on the western side.
It was practically a bonfire.
Most people also thought it was a bonfire and gathered around it to celebrate.
After the Giant Bear was killed, everyone thought they would get a share too.
They looked at the Giant Bear's meat and gathered around, seemingly coveting it.
"Stop eyeing that meat. None of it has anything to do with you!"
Yang Defa saw what some people were hoping for and bluntly rebuked them.
He led a dozen or so strong young men in maintaining order.
Ordinary people were no match for them.
Because of this, even those interested in the meat dared not speak up.
Besides.
The convoy's rules had been explained to everyone long ago.
