An icicle heralds the arrival of the cold season.

After the icicles, heavy snow fell all night long.

The heavy snow covered everything in sight, the earth became white, and the Beast God Mountain looked even more solemn.

Mid-continent.

At the foot of the Temple Mountain, the orcs guarding both sides of the path down the mountain kept walking to keep away the cold, making the snow crackle under their feet.

"The snow came late this winter."

The tiger orc raised his paw and shook off the frozen pads.

The lion beastman next to him agreed and nodded, "But it's just as cold."

They are the orcs who are responsible for standing guard at the foot of the temple mountain. Their job is to stand upright and show the style of the temple when people enter and exit, and also to drive away the fanatical believers of the messenger of God.

There are only a few people who are qualified to enter the temple, and the messenger of God has become more and more violent recently, killing people without caring about the consequences. The number of believers has also dropped significantly, and few people come.

So this guard job is quite leisurely.

The lion and the tiger are old partners. They work together, stand guard together, and even live next to each other. They can be said to be inseparable and have a good relationship.

"I heard," the tiger whispered mysteriously into the lion's ear, "I heard that many slaves in the City of Beasts froze to death last winter, and they were all eaten by stray beasts."

"Where did you hear that? How come I don't know?" the lion asked subconsciously.

They are inseparable, so there is no reason why he wouldn't know what the tiger knows.

The tiger patted the lion on the shoulder and said, "Don't ask me how I knew this. It's all over the place."

As Gong Yicheng's temper became more and more erratic, all kinds of unfavorable rumors about him became more and more intense in Zhongshou City.

There is nothing much to say about such a common thing as killing. Many orcs have seen Gong Yicheng killing orcs with their own eyes.

Those rumors talked about skinning and collecting, eating orc livers, eating brains raw, and other things that orcs had never heard of or seen before.

The messenger of God did not bring much direct benefit to the orcs, so there were still few fanatical believers in the city, and most people believed in the Beast God more than the messenger of God.

The orcs had no rules against discussing the messengers of God, so they just treated it as a topic of conversation and listened to it half-seriously.

Of course, many orcs were also panicked because of this. They were very afraid that this would happen to them, so they would rather give up the good resources of the Central Beast City and flee overnight.

The tigers and lions who are the gatekeepers of the temple all know that these rumors are true.

When the lion heard that the news had spread everywhere, he asked more questions.

After all, as far as he knew, the rumors outside were true. He hesitated and said, "That shouldn't be the case, right?"

In fact, the lion already believes it 90%.

"Of course not!" The tiger's eyes widened. "It's not normal for stray beasts to eat orcs. They are all cold-blooded monsters."

"You make sense." The lion agreed.

"That's not the point. The point is, this is an order from the Lord God."

"What!?" The lion was so shocked that he forgot to control his voice. "How could the Lord of God allow stray beasts to eat orcs?"

The lion couldn't accept it.

"Those slaves are the property of the temple after all. They are orcs. Why should they be eaten by stray beasts?"

The orcs do not take slaves seriously. In their hearts, they do not consider slaves to be orcs of the same status as them, but slaves are still the orcs' property after all.

One's own property is inviolable.

"And when the City of Beasts was first established, didn't the envoy of God promise not to allow stray beasts in the City of Beasts to eat orcs? Otherwise, those high-level orcs would have continued to cause trouble."

The lion couldn't understand.

When the City of Ten Thousand Beasts was first built, many high-level orcs tried to stop it. The craftsmen who built the city also went on strike in protest. The messengers of God killed batches of orcs but were unable to control the orcs who opposed.

This was the first time that the orcs resisted without fear of death, which gave the messenger of God a headache.

Because letting stray beasts build cities and letting those ferocious stray beasts enjoy the same treatment as the orcs is something the orcs cannot accept.

In the end, the orcs gave in only after the messenger of God gave in and promised not to let stray beasts eat the orcs.

They are not stupid. They will still build the City of Ten Thousand Beasts even if all of them die. It is wise to quit while the going is good.

So the lion cannot accept it.

He works in the temple and believes in the beast god and his messenger.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the recent behavior of the God's Messenger, he felt that the God's Messenger was in a bad mood because he lost the artifact. He did not expect that the God's Messenger would actually go back on his word.

"How could an angel of God do this?!"

The tiger was also distressed, his face wrinkled, "That's exactly what I'm talking about. How many orcs died of starvation and freezing in the Beast City during the last winter? Those stray beasts survived with good food and drink, but now the winter is here again, and some stray beasts are already clamoring to eat the orcs..."

Two males were talking about gossip in a low voice when a voice shouted, "What are you two talking about!"

They both paused and turned their heads stiffly in unison, and saw a male standing on the snow not far away.

The man was a tall and thin male with big, bright eyes, a pair of large triangular ears on his head, and a very fluffy tail.

His name is Wangshu, and he is a sable orc.

Wangshu can be said to be the one with the best temper among the many sons of God in the temple, and he will even cover up for servants who have done something wrong.

In addition, he is one of the three heavenly sons of gods in the current temple. He is strong, has a good temper, and treats people gently. The servants in the temple like him very much.

When they saw that the person coming was Wangshu, the two males breathed a sigh of relief.

The tiger smiled awkwardly and said "nothing", then he and the lion returned to their respective positions.

Wangshu approached them, slapped them both on the head, and taught them a lesson, "Don't talk about the God's messenger while you're on guard. If the God's messenger finds out, no one can protect you."

The tiger was very smart and knew that he didn't want to pursue the matter any further. He gave the frightened lion a reassuring look and said with a flattering smile, "Don't you have me, my Lord?"

Then he got a glare from Wangshu.

"I won't dare to do that next time. I won't dare to do that again."

"Not even in private!"

The tiger naturally responded repeatedly, "I understand."

The matter was not put aside easily. Without the danger to his life, the tiger could focus on other things.

He turned his head to look behind Wangshu, but there was no one there. "Is this star not following you again?"

The sons of God all have servants to serve them, and Wangshu's servant is the most famous.

It's not because he is capable, good-looking or smart, but because this star is the most greedy, sleepy and lazy.

But he was lucky enough to follow a kind master like Wangshu, who always let him sleep well.

Many servants in the temple envied Wangshu's luck.

It is said that if Star had a master like Rose, he would be beaten every day like a weed.

Wangshu was often asked about the stars, and he nodded casually, "Yeah, I asked him to do something."

In fact, he just went to sleep. Wangshu had been covering for him for so many years and never changed his excuse.

The tiger was secretly envious and didn't ask any more questions.

After a few simple pleasantries, Wangshu finally told the real purpose of his visit, "Shejian hasn't come down yet?"
