Chapter 15
In the snow and ice, a girl crawled out from the "pot lid" and quickly retreated back inside.
Everyone watching had the same strange expression—not fear, but a sense of something being off.
Yoren remained the calmest among them. Beside him, Kate poked his arm and whispered, "Yoren, what kind of creature is this?"
Yoren blinked, momentarily taken aback. Kate, a native of Terra, was asking him about local creatures? Just yesterday, he had been spouting off about Originium guns and sub-Originium powder like he had a doctorate, and now she was looking to him for answers.
But this time, she had asked the right person.
Yoren smirked, rubbing his chin. "Turtle."
Kate gave him a look. "Yoren, stop messing around and tell me what it is."
"I am telling you. It's a turtle."
Vina, standing nearby, had no patience for the back-and-forth. She strode up to the "turtle shell" with a hammer and kicked it.
"Hey, you! Why are you ambushing our convoy? Speak up!"
A voice piped up from inside. "Who's ambushing? I was sleeping!"
