Chapter 48 Ice and Snow

"If it is really what Jorik said, it is really amazing. When we arrive at Freljord, we will pick up bargains and fight as a supplement. We must not show off, otherwise you will be beaten into powder by magic, and it is really impossible to save you."

"It's really that awesome?" Zhang Qinliang confirmed again.

"You must not rush around by then. The gap between us and the Frost Guards is as big as the gap between soldiers and heroes." Li Qing frowned and looked at the selected person on the other side. At this moment, the woman also looked solemn.

From the easy way to the difficulty of this ruin trial now, the difficulty has jumped a little too much.

As Li Qing and Zhang Qinliang spoke, as the team continued to move northward, and after another hour, they felt that the temperature was getting colder, especially when everyone started from the Howling Wetland in the evening. After walking for several hours, it was already one or two in the morning. It was the coldest time. It was better when it first entered the tundra. There were the frozen grasses with frost on the ground, but after reaching the real north, there were no traces of plants on the ground. Slowly, the snow became thicker and thicker, and the temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and there was a trend of continued rapid decline.

"The temperature drops abnormally." Looking at the snow on the ground that was more than ten centimeters thick, Li Qing knew that the team had really entered Frellzowde.

"Boss, it's really a little cold here, and we don't bring any clothes, but fortunately we are strong and can stand it. If it were an ordinary person, it would be really bad." The horses galloped in the snow, and pieces of snow were raised.

"It will be colder when moving forward. I guess the real Frelljord has a tribal area, the temperature is minus 40 degrees Celsius. This place is really not suitable for people to survive." Li Qing said, then took out the communication gem and began to call his only companion who was alone, "Old Ding, is Lao Ding?"

After the popularity of the gem was passed for more than ten seconds, Ding Kun's reply was sent back on the other side, "Are you."

"Well, Ding Kun and I will arrive in your tribe soon. It is estimated that in just one or two hours, there are still a thousand high-level undead. Have you received the news?"

"Yes, there was a Noxus messenger here yesterday, but Se Zhuoni didn't seem to want to cooperate with them, but she didn't refuse. Let's talk about it in detail after waiting for it." Ding Kun said a word and said, "I can't say anything anymore. Now I'm in front of Se Zhuoni's account. Her perception is very high, so I'll hang up first.

"Oh, okay." Li Qing responded, and on the other side he heard Zhang Qinliang's ridicule: "Old Ding is really like a son-in-law now, and he is still under control, hahahaha..."

Zhang Qinliang laughed, slapped the horse under his crotch, and tried hard to keep up with the team ahead.

As Li Qing expected, the more the team moved forward, the colder the weather became. After running in the snow for more than a hundred miles, the snow on the ground had reached half a meter deep. The cold wind around it blew on the exposed skin and it felt like a knife cut. The temperature here had dropped to minus forty or fifty degrees below zero.

Moreover, after changing the terrain of the plain just now, after reaching the real Freljode, Li Qing saw the towering mountains in the night sky. In the cold night, although the surroundings were dark, Li Qing could see the outline of the mountains far away. Because it was like the Antarctic of the earth, there were snow-white everywhere, and there were ice cubes dozens of meters thick on the mountain. In the night sky, the frozen peaks reflected the starlight like mirrors, and reflected the night and the starry sky, forming a very beautiful picture.

After the team drilled into the mountains, Li Qing saw that Yorik at the front of the team let the ghosts fly high into the sky to explore the way, and the team also drilled in the mountains, turning dozens of curves, and finally entered between the narrow paths of two huge peaks. After moving forward for half an hour, he arrived at a valley in the middle of the ice and snow peaks.

It is surrounded by mountains, and only a valley entrance that is dozens of meters wide can be entered. Because it is surrounded by mountains and there is no cold wind blowing in here, it is still warm. After the team entered the valley entrance, they experienced the desertedness along the way and finally saw humans.

It was a group of tribal guards wearing animal fur. They put their hands inside the valley entrance and immediately became alert when they saw the undead legion coming.

"We are here to find Se Zhuoni." The army of undead was very terrifying in the dark. The ghosts and wastes were running all over the ground. Even if they were notified in advance, they were still scary when they saw this scene.

Yorik obviously knew that he was not good at acting like a person. After finding the Winter Claw Tribe, he retreated to the second line and asked Dryus to speak.

"We are the messengers of Noxus, and we are here to meet your patriarch." Dryus negotiated in front, while Li Qing looked at the tribe residents of the Winter Claws from behind.

Because they survive in this cold winter place all year round, the humans here are not very similar to those outside. The extreme and harsh climate has trained their bodies different from ordinary people. The unique training method of the Wrath of Winter Ser Zhuoni also makes these people stronger than the humans outside.

In order to adapt to the everlasting winter climate, the only advantage of the people of Frellzowd passed down from generation to generation is a strong body. People with weak constitutions have been frozen to death and starved to death in ancient times, and only strong people can survive. The selection from generation to generation makes Frellzowd's genes very excellent. The exercise method of Winter Wrath can only allow extremely outstanding people to survive.

The Wrath of Winter Ser Zhuoni stipulates that every child who reaches ten years old in the tribe must receive a cruel "coming-coming-up ceremony". The coming-of-up ceremony is when the tribe residents reach ten years old, both men and women must enter the cold wind naked, and then live outside without any food or warm clothing.

Only those who meet the requirements can survive in the tribe - under the law of heaven, there is another cruel law of man.

Therefore, there are very few residents of the Winter Claw Tribe, but each of them is a warrior who is one to ten. They are cruel and hard, like the ten thousand-year-old ice of Freljod.

"Please wait, we have sent people into the valley to inform the clan leader." The tribe guard responded and still did not let go of his guard. When Dryus saw this, he did not speak anymore. He waited outside the valley with the team members and the undead.

The guards' notification speed was very fast. After waiting outside the valley for less than 6 minutes, Li Qing heard neat footsteps coming from the valley. He was neatly walking like an army, and after he saw a tall woman leading a group of tribal elites out of it.

The woman is extremely strong and tall, as tall as a man—and beside her, there is an equally tall and burly man—Ding Kun.

"Pretty like a man." Seeing Ding Kun appearing next to Se Zhuangni with a serious look on his face, Zhang Qinliang poked Li Qing who was holding a horse next to him with his arm. It seemed that since he knew that Ding Kun was surrounded by a woman, this guy had never given up any chance to laugh at him.

Li Qing naturally ignored him, just looked at the changes that Ding Kun had experienced these days on the other side - half of the mission was gone, this guy looked stronger than before, and it was obvious that he also got his own benefits here, and his equipment was also replaced with cannons. In addition to the armor and shields on his body, Li Qing also saw that this guy was holding a silver ice-like sledgehammer in his hand, which looked like an ordinary person at first glance.

"It feels so good to be a son-in-law." Zhang Qinliang couldn't help but sigh a few more words when he saw this.

And on this side he was talking about himself, and on the other side, Dryus and Sejonni also joined him for the first time

"The undead cannot enter the valley, others can come with me." After Se Zhuoni appeared, she was very concise. Like most humans, Se Zhuoni also discriminated against the undead. Half of this discrimination comes from fear, and the other half is the nature of an innate opposition.

The undead like to eat the flesh and blood of living people. Their relationship with humans is like the relationship between wolves and cattle and sheep, and it will never be reconciled.

Orik's hundreds of years of experience was obviously very clear about these things, so after hearing Se Zhuoni's words, he waved his hand and shouted a few strange words at the team. Then the undead in the air flew away, while the skeletons and zombies underground left the snow pit and drilled into the stiff land. For a moment, the undead army that advanced forward disappeared almost only within three minutes, which was incredible.

"This flesh and blood puppet is something I have refined myself. Without thoughts, it is OK to put it at the gate of the tribe?" Yorik shouted at Sezhunni in the team.

"Yes. Come in." Se Zhuoni saw that the undead had been hiding, and waved his hand to let the guards let go. Li Qing, Drayus and some soldiers had a total of more than a dozen humans, plus Yorik, something that was unknown to the undead or other creatures, entered the tribe through the valley.

When Li Qing entered the valley, he looked up and saw ice houses. These houses had domes and square roofs, but they were all very low. Some were on the snow and some were built on the hillside, which looked very much like Eskimo buildings.

After entering the valley, Li Qing roughly looked at the density of the house and estimated the size of the valley through the reflected mountain walls around him. In the end, there were really not many people who sent the Winter Claw Tribe - roughly speaking, it was estimated that the adults were only 20,000 to 30,000. Even if everyone was a warrior, there were only four or five legions.

Obviously, compared with the most powerful Noxus Empire on the continent, this tribe is indeed a bit too weak. If it weren't for human habitation and survival, and the mountain roads here meandered like old trees, making it difficult for the residents here to be destroyed like the pirates of Bilgewater. I think this place had been conquered by other empires over the long years.
