Chapter 63: Blizzard
Chapter 63: Blizzard
The group departed after they finished packing up, it only takes less than half an hour since they did not really have a lot to pack.
Sol looked at the sky to find that dark cloud was gathering on the way they were going, it looked gloomy and ominous.
"I hope that was just a normal could" he muttered as the depart.
There was a lot of things they did not know about this new world and environment, he could compare it to the legend of ancient time but it was obvious that in ancient time the sun God did not die.
Not long after their departure, they encountered a heavy snowstorm, it slows their advance to a crawl, the snow car could not move fast under the weather.
Visibility was also low and the snowstorm disables their GPS signal, Sol could not see where he was going, the only means of navigation available for them was his compass.
Blind driving with only a compass was nowhere near accurate but it was better than staying still until the snow ceases, who knows how long the snowstorm would continue, he did not even know if it would ever stop.
In the worse case, the snowstorm was a phenomenon in that particular location and it would continue endlessly, in such a case, they needed to get out of the area to escape the snowstorm.
The situation was not so bad, as long as Sol follow his compass, they would eventually leave the area, but there was another thing that troubles them.
Sol and the other could feel like something was watching them, while they could not see it, they could feel the gaze from all around them.
It keeps following then for an hour, Sol was not sure if there was really something watching them or it was just their imagination.

Hallucination was not uncommon to happen when people were under pressure and while their sense was blocked.
The Snowstorm did not just hinder their sight but also their sense of smell and hearing, a lot of noise could be heard and they could smell snow everywhere.
Luckily their sense of touch did not get disturbed by the cold, everyone in the group was strong enough in their own way that the cold did not numb their skin.
"Sol" Nerodia called for Sol, he stretched out his hand toward her and she bit it to suck his blood.
Nerodia had been sucking his blood from time to time, since they get into the snowstorm, she had been doing so even more often than before.
She needs to borrow his strength to keep herself warm as she was weakened way too weak to depend on her own power.
Luckily, Sol's regeneration was fast enough to replenish his blood before Nerodia need another dose of his blood.
After a few rounds of blood-sucking, he could feel that Nerodia grow a bit stronger than before, she got a bit closer to her former strength, but from her current speed of recovery, She might need months or even a year to recover.
Sol also felt that he grew a bit stronger by donating his blood, it was not anything significant, killing a single creature might even give him more strength than a single blood donation to Nerodia, but every little bit helps.
Sol did not need to be the strongest person alive, he just needs to be strong enough to protect his family.
The further they went into the storm, the stronger it became, Sol was hesitating if they should continue to move forward.
They had been wandering the snowstorm for a few hours but there was no clear sign that they would find an exit.
It was then that, Sol could feel a dozen creatures surrounding them, he could feel it without able to see them as all dozen creatures was a creature with a bloodline, he felt their bloodline rather than their presence.
Sol, Moon, and Blacky got out of the snow car and protect it from all sides, their situation was not good, to fight a dozen creature with bloodline was by no mean easy even with three of them.
Miya pulled all three girls near her to protect them, Nerodia currently too weak and timid to fight so she also needed to be protected.
Sol could see silhouettes of the creature was almost three-meter tall in the snowstorm, they stand upright like a human but with a bigger body covered in white fur, as they got closer, Sol found them similar to a gorilla but with white fur, the closest thing he could think was a Yeti.
Four creatures went after each one of them as they protect the snow car, Sol was not optimistic about their chance.
Two of them at the front tried to grab Sol with their giant hand, they move way faster than he expects, while some and the other movement was hampered by the snowstorm, the group of yeti was not affected by it.
Sol sidesteps them with the footwork he learned from the temple of Mars with ease even though they had an advantage in the snowstorm.
He tried to cut them with his knife only to find their fur was quite resilient against damage, while his counterattack results in failure, the other two tied to smash him from above.
Sol managed to dodge it but when their fist impacts the snow, it generates a shock wave that sends him tumbling back.
The shock wave was the result of their pure physical strength, It reminds him of Brutus the Heir of Ares, they both have an incredible physical strength and resilient body.
This time Sol was strong enough to fight on par with someone of this caliber, but he was not fighting on Yeti but four of them, the fight was anything but easy.
Sol kept his distance but also kept the Yeti occupied so they won't go after the snow car, his extraordinary reflex was particularly effective to keep him from being beaten.
For half an hour, Sol had been fighting in order to sharpen his knife since he needs to cut through their thick fur before he could hurt them.
The Yetis fighting style was very simple, it's either they tried to grab you or smash you, the only hard thing was they fight in a group, for Sol he could use their number against them so they block use another but for other it was not so easy.
Moon had turned into her giant Wolf form to content against the Yeties, she could use her super regeneration to take some damage from the Yetis.
Her giant size also help to content against them, but sadly she could hardly hurt them, their body was too hardy.
Blacky's condition was not as good, it was beaten back, only its spirit made it able to continue fighting.
The black dog was a hellhound, it could heal and get stronger in a fire but under a heavy snowstorm, hardly any fire could be light up.
Sol could hear it yelp in pain as it stops the Yeties advance, Tanya's voice could also be heard as she tried to dissuade the Yeti from attacking.
The heir's persuasion help in decreasing their aggressor's morale but it did not stop them from attacking.
Miya wanted to help them in the fight but she knew her limitation, she would only be a burden in a fight between heirs.
She had been training hard ever since Moon and Nerodia join the family, she did not want to be left behind by the other.
But all those trainings did not help her close the gap between people with bloodline and without, she would need more than training to surpass the gap.
The Yetis in front of Sol suddenly stop their attack at him, they set their sight on the snow car as they know they would never catch Sol at that rate.
They got on all four and rush toward the snow car, Sol desperately tried to stop them with his body, the only way to stop them was directly clashing with their body.
Sol's knife already sharp enough to cut the Yeti but his knife reach was not long enough to hit anything vital.
He met the first Yeting that rush at the snow car with his knife, Sol duck down and cut the Yeti right arm and leg tendons, sending it crashing to the ground.
After the stunt, Sol needed a few seconds to get up before he could stop another Yeti, at that time two of them about to pass by him.
"No, you don't!" Sol screamed in frustration.
He threw his knife at one Yeti while he runs at the other Yeti, this was the best solution he could think of.
His knife arrived first at the Yeti's head, it did not have the time to block or dodge as it had been running at full speed with all four.
"Fuck!" Sol cursed as he about to clash with a Yeti.
