Chapter 452 Ski Goggles
Climbing a snow-capped mountain is no easy task. The biggest obstacles are twofold: first, the mountain is extremely steep, with precipitous peaks and narrow mountain paths that inspire fear; second, the biting cold.
Fortunately, the orcs who came to climb the mountain with Ruan Mianmian were all strong and healthy with a strong resistance to the cold. Moreover, their fur was thick and dense, which was enough to withstand the extreme cold.
If it were Daman's group of elephant-beastmen, they would probably be shivering from the cold before they even reached the foot of the mountain.
Knowing full well the frigid conditions of the snow-capped mountains, Ruan Mianmian put a lot of effort into preparing her equipment. Not only was she fully equipped herself, but even the insulated boxes she prepared for her two little ones were of top quality, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius.
And so, the group climbed upwards, panting heavily. The snow beast family carefully led the way, while the others followed behind, taking each step very slowly.
However, during this arduous climb, Ruan Mianmian suddenly called out to everyone. Her eyes were fixed on the bright, gleaming snow before her, and a look of sudden realization crossed her face, as if she had suddenly remembered something important.
"Sen, do your eyes feel any pain right now?" Ruan Mianmian asked with a worried expression, her beautiful eyes fixed on the tall and strong Sen beside her, her concern evident in her words.
At that moment, a wave of regret washed over her. Just moments ago, she had suddenly realized that she had made such a serious mistake—completely forgetting about the glasses that could effectively prevent snow blindness!
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's question, Sen slowly turned his head, his deep and sharp gaze falling on his little female.
His originally stern face softened slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness, but it was quickly replaced by annoyance.
He stretched out a strong, thick hand and gently covered Ruan Mianmian's big, bright eyes.
“I forgot that walking in the snow would make my eyes uncomfortable.” Sen’s deep voice carried a hint of self-reproach. “My corneas are different from other orcs, and after my reversion to my ancestral state, the effect of the snow’s reflection is negligible. But you… you’ll probably find it quite painful.”
Following Sen's gaze, Ruan Mianmian then noticed that the beastmen following behind her were squinting their eyes and staggering forward.
They struggled to see the road ahead, but the intense light forced them to blink frequently, their faces contorted in pain.
Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian was extremely anxious. Without thinking twice, she immediately opened the system store and quickly selected and purchased a large number of ski goggles.
With a flick of her finger, the ski goggles instantly appeared in her hand. She then turned and distributed pairs of ski goggles to each of the orcs.
"I forgot before. If you all wear glasses, your eyes won't get burned by the snow when walking in the snow."
The orcs accepted the glasses, their eyes filled with gratitude. Wearing them, their movements immediately became much more agile.
“Chief, this strange thing is really useful! Wearing it makes my eyes feel much better.” An orc grinned.
"That's right, this must be something used by the Beast God, it's really amazing!" another orc said happily.
The snow beast Bai, who was leading the way, heard what everyone was saying and looked up at the glasses they were wearing. Just one glance surprised him.
He had never seen the things these orcs were carrying before, let alone how they obtained such exquisite items.
With this question in mind, he rolled his eyes and continued leading the way.
Snow beasts live year-round on snow-capped mountains, and their pupils automatically change state. When looking at snow, a membrane automatically covers their pupils to protect their eyes, which is one of the reasons why the snow beast race can roam the snow-capped mountains year-round.
The group set off again, heading towards the summit. As the altitude increased, the air became increasingly thin, but fortunately, everyone was well-prepared.
As they approached the summit, a clear, melodious cry rang out. Curious, everyone looked up and saw it was a small white bird calling.
They are entirely white except for their blue eyes, making them appear incredibly sacred against the snow-capped mountains.
“This is a Snow Spirit Bird, which, according to legend, can only be seen on the summit of a snow-capped mountain,” Sen said softly.
Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed; this bird was so beautiful! The beastmen stood quietly, enjoying this rare moment.
