The Mutants are the general term for those who are about to become hangers by the Hannosa League. In addition to those who have obvious mutations at the beginning and lose their minds, there are also many who have hidden mutations in their bodies. They are no different from ordinary people, but they will mutate when they are excited, and they will temporarily or even permanently lose their minds with mutations. These mutants are also the main targets of the Hannosa League's internal arrest during this period.

The Hannosa League initially captured the mutants and was quite gentle, but as some mutants were stimulated to resist the arresters, causing casualties, the Hannosa League official arrested these mutants and became extremely severe. As long as the arrested person resisted, he immediately killed them on the spot.

Among some people whose bodies have mutated, some are lucky to find ships that can lead them south, avoid the army of the Hannosa Alliance, avoid the monster-filled Miria, and go to the legendary mutant harbor, Vinaya Harbour.

However, those who understand the situation do not think that those people are really lucky, because even if the boats are much safer than walking on the road, it is not absolutely safe, because the thick fog that appears on the sea often changes suddenly, moving towards the coastline and to the beach in a short time.

In this case, if those ships fail to dock in time and abandon the ship and land, they will be swallowed by thick fog and disappear forever.

It is precisely because of this reason that many people did not choose this route even if they had the opportunity to take a boat south. These people and some other people who had no choice decided to walk north, enter the ice field, and leave the hostile Hannosa Alliance.

Although the mutated body will be stronger than ordinary people, and the physique will become better, and it will not be easy to get sick, the Black Forest Swamp is still a dangerous place for them. At any time, huge and fierce monsters will emerge from the swamp and devour humans who are regarded as prey by them.

However, compared to the monsters hidden in the swamp, the mutant itself is more dangerous, because no one knows when other mutants around him will suddenly mutate, and no one knows whether the mutant around him is a good person or a bad person. Therefore, many groups of mutant people who flee to the north are often attacked by their own people.

Randall and Mister were from the Kingdom of Sigma. They came to the continent of Viron mainly to study the Black Forest. In the past, they had been living in Miriah for four years.

They are lucky compared to most people in Milia City. Before Milia was involved in the war, they were invited by the Hannosa League to go to the National Institute of the Hannosa League to engage in research on the Black Forest Swamp.

On the night when the mutants appeared that day, the two of them also had mutations, but their mutations were hidden and hidden very deeply. Unless they were naked, it was difficult to see where they mutations.

Therefore, they were lucky enough to avoid targeted arrests again and again, but this good fortune soon ended because the church and hunters who were specifically responsible for catching the mutant had begun to conduct full-body examinations of the suspects.

So, before the matter was revealed, they found a secretly organized mutant escape team, joined in, and went to take refuge in the north.

The reason why they chose the North rather than the South was not only because of concerns about ship safety and other issues, but more importantly, their own scholarly thoughts were causing trouble. Although they had nothing to do when they went to the North last time, they obtained useful news, which was worth exploring, so when they decided to leave the Hannosa League, they chose the North as a refuge without hesitation.

With their research on the Black Forest Swamp and their own luck, their escape team did not encounter any major casualties when passing through the Black Forest Swamp. Only four people were killed by creatures in the swamp because they did not obey their warnings. Everyone else was intact.

After coming to the North, because the two of them had experience living in the North, knew the key points of life that others did not know, knew where they could establish settlements for winter, and found food to help them survive the winter, the refuge team elected them as leaders, and established a village composed of mutants near the edge of the Venovi Mountains in the north, and barely settled down.

With the ability of mutants in the village, they were able to catch a lot of prey from the mountains and could barely live in this cold place. After life settled down, Randall and Mister began to think of exploring the legend of the North Tribe.

This legend about the Northland tribe was heard from the mouth of a Northland tribe when they came to Northland. This legend does not contain any profound meaning for the Northland tribe, but it means something unusual for two black forest scholars, Randall and Mister.

This legend, like the legend of ancient tribes in the south, is talking about the origin of the tribe. The difference between this legend is that the origin it says is the origin of the entire northern tribe, not only one tribe.

According to legend, the common ancestor of the North Tribe was originally the heirs of a powerful tribe in the south. Later, because their tribe was involved in a war that should not have happened, the tribe chief died on the battlefield. His heir, together with his brother, was chased by other powerful people in the tribe and lost everything.

During the pursuit, he and his brothers were dispersed and were seriously injured and not far from death. However, he was lucky and was rescued by a white deer. The white deer also took him away from the tribe's pursuit and took him to the north and taught him the ability he should have in living in the north.

Afterwards, this man lived in the Northland, and through his own abilities, he gained respect from the tribes that lived in the Northland in the early days, and was later elected to become the chief of a certain tribe.

At the end of the legend, he led the tribes he ruled to annex all the tribes in the Northland, formed a huge tribe in the Northland that had never been seen before, and became the king of the Northland. Now all the tribes in the Northland are descendants of the White Deer Tribe.

The reason why Randall and Mister were very interested in this legend was because when Miriah was studying the Black Forest, they discovered that the establishment and development of the Flan Empire, and even the subsequent ups and downs, were more or less closely related to the legendary white deer in the Black Forest.

Moreover, from an ancient document originating from the Royal Library of the Flan Empire, they found that the emperor who founded the First Dynasty of the Flan Empire, who did not even have a name, did not come from any tribe around the Black Forest, but from the Northland. Moreover, the emperor always used white deer as his flag and badge, and it was not until later replaced with a badge of shape.

In addition, later, the Flan Knight King could actually go to the North alone, and then summoned a large number of Northland warriors in a short period of time to help him restore the country. This shows that the Flan Royal Family and the various tribes in the Northland are extremely close.

So both of them judged that the Fran royal family was probably the descendant of the chief of the White Deer Tribe in the legend of the North, and the secret of the Fran royal family must be in the White Deer Tribe.

Randall and Mister chose to build the villages in a small valley on the edge of the Venovi Mountains. This place has enough trees to keep warm and a large number of animals to come here to hide from extreme cold storms. It is a very suitable place to be a settlement.

This place was also told by the people from the North Tribe they met a few months ago that it is said that sometimes if the North Trading Tribe goes nearby and encounters an ice storm in the north, they will choose to be in this place.

However, these northern tribes only regard this place as a temporary shelter and will not last long, because at the leeward side of another hill not far from here, there is a ruin of the White Deer Tribe. According to the rules jointly designated by the northern tribes, they cannot establish long-term tribal settlements near the White Deer Tribe ruins.

It is precisely because of the remains of this White Deer Tribe that when Randall and Mister were discussing settlements with others, they did not choose another place closer to the Black Forest Swamp, but chose this small valley far from the Black Forest Swamp.

Now the people who fled were temporarily settled, and Randall and Mister also decided to go to the White Deer Tribe ruins to check the situation.

So, ten days ago, they collected some food and found an excuse to leave the settlement.

Although the two of them have very perfect plans, the more perfect the plan is, the more likely they are to be disrupted by accidents, just like they have planned to spend a day to go to the Bailu Tribe ruins, spend half a little time to survey the ruins, and spend a little time to return to the settlement.

But the result was that they encountered an ice field storm that could not be expected in advance. In this storm, they could not walk in the snow at all. They could only build snow houses on the spot according to the methods of the Northland tribes to avoid the storm.

However, they completely miscalculated the time for the ice storm to maintain. The ice storm that they thought would stop for only one or two days had not stopped after six or seven days, and it seemed that it would not be possible to stop even after six or seven days.

Although Randall and Mister prepared a lot of food in advance and thought they had made enough preparations, after six or seven days, no matter how adequate the food they prepared was, they had almost been consumed.

They knew very well that if they continued to stay like this, they would have almost zero survival. It would be better to try walking back when they still have some food on them. If they are lucky, they should be able to return to their settlements.

However, just like the perfect plan they made in advance, their predictions were wrong. They got lost in the ice storm and walked intermittently for about two days, but still did not reach the settlement.

Although their physical mutations have made them extremely resistant to cold, this resistance is also limited. Walking in the extreme cold storm for two days has already made their physical resistance reach its limit. They have no doubt that as long as they fall down, those who await them will freeze to death.

"Sorry, if I hadn't insisted..." Mister said apologetically as he looked at Randall, who was close to her and blocked some of the wind and snow for her.

"It's not your business, this is my choice. I also want to unravel the secret between the Flan royal family, the Black Forest and the North. Even without you, I would still be here." Randall said in a trembling voice.

The two of them had used a lot of effort to talk, so after they finished speaking, they didn't talk anymore and moved forward silently. They could no longer figure out their current position and could only move forward in the direction of the wind, because there must be the south there. As for whether they can find a suitable shelter there, they can only take a chance. However, given their previous experiences, they don't expect too much of their luck.

After walking a distance, they had to stop because the most dangerous shattered ice storm in the extreme cold storm in the Northland appeared. If they did not want to be cut into pieces by these shattered ice, they would need to dig a temporary shelter from the ground to avoid these sharp shattered ice.

This is not the first time they have encountered such a broken ice storm, so after they felt something was wrong, they stopped immediately, took out a simple wooden shovel, and used the little force left to quickly dig a snow wall that could just block the two of them.

After the snow wall was dug, they couldn't wait to go in more. The two of them hugged each other tightly, feeling the only warmth on each other.

Perhaps feeling their bodies are debilitating rapidly, they may no longer be able to stand up from behind the snow wall after the ice-breaking storm, Mister couldn't help but ask his couple, "If we can survive, would you marry me?"

When Randall heard this, he nodded without thinking, "I'm willing."

Mister didn't say anything more, leaned tightly in Randall's arms, waiting for their last moment to arrive.

However, just as they had given up all their hopes, they suddenly felt the ground trembling violently, as if something huge was stepping on the ground and approaching this side.

The two people waiting to die behind the snow wall were stunned after feeling the tremor of the ground. Soon they realized something and said in surprise: "Hunter hunting!"

A few months ago, they participated in a hunting festival for the northern tribes. At that hunting festival, they saw how the hunters of the tribes drove away the giant ancient tower beasts on the ice field and ran back and forth on the vast ice field, consuming the physical strength of these giant beasts, and then used steam crossbows to create wounds on them, slowly consuming them to death.

At that hunting festival, what impressed the two was not the superb hunting skills displayed by the people of the northern tribes, but the earthquake tremors caused by the ancient tower beasts when they ran, as if the earth would crack at the feet of these giant beasts, exactly the same as what they felt now.
