Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 593 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 11

When the last stubborn piece of floating ice is swept down the rugged cliff by the rushing snowmelt stream, making a shattering sound that echoes through the valley, true spring has finally cleaved through this frozen land.

The valley shed its somber silvery white, revealing a mottled vitality—timid tender shoots emerge from beneath the withered grass, dormant creatures rustle tentatively in the depths of caves, and even the wind carries a complex and vibrant scent of damp earth and decaying pine needles.

Yun Chu sat on the stone platform at the cave entrance, which was warmed by the sunlight, and used a knife to whittle a newly broken birch branch.

The blade sliced ​​through the supple bark, revealing the damp, light green wood beneath, and the fresh scent of sap filled the air.

This should have been a time of hope.

However, in the second month of spring, as the valley was gently enveloped by new greenery, darkness began to seep in silently at night.

At first, Yun Chu felt only a vague sense of unease, like vines coiling around the shallow layers of sleep. Gradually, the imagery became clearer and more violent:

First night: She floated high in the sky, looking down at the boundless, vast forest.

But the next second, the forest that covered the land seemed to be brutally pulled away by an invisible giant hand!

All that remained was a bare, riddled-with-hole earth, with the soil exposed by torn roots, like festering scars on the earth.

The gale whipped up not yellowed leaves, but sand and dust, leaving the landscape desolate and lifeless.

The second night: The familiar outlines of the mountain peaks twisted and distorted before her eyes.

The massive mountain ridge, like the convulsing spine of a giant beast, roared as rocks crumbled, and landslides and mudslides engulfed the valley like turbid blood vessels.

The clear stream flowing through the cave entrance instantly swelled into a raging black river, carrying uprooted centuries-old giant trees, tearing apart both banks, with turbid waves reaching the sky.

The third night: most vivid and terrifying. She was running away, but the ground beneath her feet was as crumbling and collapsing as clay.

A massive chasm tore through the earth without warning, its bottomless depths spewing forth scorching sulfurous steam that instantly distorted the air.

Mountains shifted, ravines crisscrossed, and the familiar world crumbled amidst her screams.

For three consecutive mornings, Yun Chu woke up in a cold sweat.

The lingering roar from the dream echoed in my ears, and the weightless, plummeting sensation from the collapse of that illusory "earth" still lingered on my fingertips. My heart pounded wildly in my chest, almost breaking free of its grip.

She sat on the stone couch covered with animal hides, hugging her knees, her small body trembling slightly in the dim morning light. Outside the cave, birds chirped and streams murmured, the sunlight so bright it was almost ethereal.

The massive, mountain-like body lay horizontally inside the cave entrance, like a black barrier isolating it from the outside world.

His head rested on his front paws, his icy blue eyes were half-closed, and his breathing was even and long, as if he were simply enjoying a deep sleep in the warm spring sunshine.

However, when Yun Chu's suppressed sobs were faintly heard, her icy eyes opened instantly, like a cold pool exposed when the first snow melts, clear and sharp, without a trace of languor.

Without Yun Chu needing to speak, her terrified eyes and rapid, unsteady breathing conveyed everything to him.

You slowly raised his upper body, the massive movement carrying an undeniable sense of oppression, yet it was completely silent.

He leaned closer, his massive head lowering, his cold breath brushing against Yun Chu's damp bangs and cheeks, carrying a silent inquiry.

"You..." Yun Chu's voice was choked with sobs, small and broken. She stretched out her cold fingers and tightly grasped the thick, felt-like hair on his chin, as if it were the only anchor point. "These past three days... at night... I saw..."

She struggled to organize her thoughts, piecing together the fragments of nightmares that were enough to tear reality apart—collapsed forests, twisted mountains, roaring black rivers, cracked earth… every detail was so clear it chilled her to the bone.

As You listened, her pupils contracted slightly during the description.

When Yun Chu spoke in a trembling voice, saying "earthquake," "the earth is turning over," and "everywhere is changing, as if it has been overturned by the gods," a deep, heavy muffled sound came from the depths of her throat. It was not a threat, but more like a heavy confirmation.

His enormous claws gently covered Yun Chu's small hand that was gripping his mane.

The paw pads, covered with thick calluses and dense black hair, now conveyed an unusually solemn and comforting power.

His gaze swept across the vibrant valley outside the cave entrance, and for the first time, a shadow from the abyss, so different from the warm spring sun, appeared deep within his icy blue eyes.

"The bloodline of the Rabbit-Eared Clan..." A deep, rumbling voice, like thunder rolling from the depths of the earth, echoed faintly in the relatively spacious cave.

There was no disdain or doubt in that voice, only a chilling solemnity. "The legendary... 'Eye of Foresight' that can touch the undercurrents of fate... is beginning to awaken in you."

He slightly increased the pressure under his claws; the oppressive feeling was not directed at her, but at the solemnity of the revealed fragment of fate itself.

Outside the cave, the sun shone brightly, and newly sprouted wildflowers swayed in the wind, but a chilling aura had quietly crept into the spring cave, more biting and merciless than the snow and wind of deep winter.

You's gaze was as deep and solemn as a still pool, and Yun Chu's trembling reflection was seen deep within his icy blue pupils. He lowered his head slightly, his massive body seeming to grow heavy with the sudden news.

"Yun Chu, in the dreams you described, did you sense any specific seasons?" You's voice was low and slow, each word sounding as if it had been carefully considered.

Yun Chu looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, at the enormous wolf. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic: "You, I... I think those scenes must have been of autumn."

You's ears twitched slightly, as if trying to catch the subtle changes in the air. His brain began to work at high speed, analyzing all the possible connections.

“Autumn…” he repeated softly, as if talking to himself, “If the earth turns over in autumn, then we still have time to prepare.”

You's thoughts raced; he had to make a decision quickly. He knew they didn't have much time left.

“We must leave here before the earth is turned upside down.” You’s tone was firm and decisive, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

In the days that followed, You and Yun Chu began their intensive preparations.

You was in charge of planning the route. He used his knowledge of the land to carefully select the safest and fastest route. He knew that on this ever-changing land, every step could be the difference between life and death.

Yun Chu was in charge of preparing food. She used her skillful hands to collect and store a large amount of nuts, berries and other edible plants.

She also learned how to make simple herbal sachets for emergencies.

During this time, You and Yun Chu's teamwork became increasingly seamless. They relied on each other, supported each other, and faced the challenges to come together.

Every night, You and Yun Chu would sit at the cave entrance, gazing at the starry sky. They would talk about their future plans, sharing their dreams and hopes. Although the future was full of unknowns and dangers, their hearts were filled with courage and hope.

"You, we will definitely find a new home, right?" Yun Chu asked softly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

You nodded gently, stroking Yun Chu's head with his rough paws. "We will, Yun Chu. As long as we are united, nothing can stop us."

The stars twinkled in the night sky, as if guiding their journey. You and Yun knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead, they would walk hand in hand and embrace their future.
