The person lying in front of Duan Qing was none other than the man who had sneakily pulled him into his house. At this time, he was breathing heavily, and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, as if he had just been beaten by someone else.
"What's wrong, buddy?" Duan Qing couldn't help but tease, "Did someone beat you up?"
"Uh... go away..." He was answered with a breathless struggle and a crying voice: "I, I..."
He suddenly saw the spear thrown to him on the snow in front of him, and stopped halfway up.
"Hey, what's wrong with him?" Nan Tieshan, who had been waiting behind for a long time, finally walked over impatiently and asked looking at the scene in front of him.
"I don't know either." Duan Qing turned around and said, "But judging from the previous situation, this guy seems to have been thrown out just like us?"
"Oh? Is he a warrior of the Nosir tribe? How strong is he...well, I didn't ask."
In front of them, the young man in a white fur coat stared at the spear on the ground and slowly knelt down in the snow.
"me......"
"I, why were you thrown out too?"
Duan Qing turned around and looked at the two companions, and found that they had no intention of coming forward, so he had no choice but to step forward himself, squatting next to him and asking.
"You, you..." The young man looked at Duan Qing, his dull eyes seemed to move: "They, I have contact with outsiders..."
Duan Qing's face turned dark.
During the short stay in the Embrace of Ice and Snow, it seemed that only three of them, Duan Qing, were active in the camp in this remote place, and things changed so quickly. They entered the alien camp relying on the favor of two people.
He was kicked out not long after he stayed, so according to what Duan Qing knew, he seemed to be the only one who came into contact with the Nosier tribesman in front of him - the other two people didn't even have a chance to hang out.
"We have been making trouble for a long time, and you are also a victim of some bullshit xenophobic rules." Duan Qing shook his head, and sat down on the snow next to him with a pop: "It's still because of me..."
The young man glanced at the man next to him with his only trace of attention, and then he was attracted by the snow and wind in the sky.
"God..." He looked up at the snow-filled sky: "Why are you doing this to me?"
"Why do you treat us like this..."
"I..." Feeling the biting chill, Duan Qing spread his legs and held them back with his hands, while Ji sat aside: "Don't be so depressed, isn't it just that you were kicked out? The man stood upright on the spot,
Self-reliance and self-improvement are the right ways to make your own way..."
The young man kneeling on the ground was speechless, but his body gradually began to tremble.
"...It's really cold here. Come on, let's go over there and have a chat together." Duan Qing, who noticed the other party's condition, reached out his hand, but the other party ignored him.
He tremblingly picked up the spear from the ground.
"Um...even though I hurt you, it wasn't my intention. I stopped at that time. You people are so xenophobic that I feel embarrassed to be close to you, just for fear of something like this happening.
This thing actually happened unexpectedly, and I had nothing to do, but... we can find a way to remedy it, right? Come on, let's go over there to take shelter from the wind and snow, and have a good talk by the way.
Talk, believe me, I will definitely..."
call!
In front of him, the young man suddenly raised the spear in his hand and stabbed himself in the abdomen.
Snapped!
"I......"
A hand appeared in the wind and snow in time and tightly grasped the long shaft of the spear.
"Are you having trouble thinking about it?"
It was still Duan Qing's voice, but this time it was different from the previous leisurely mood. At this time, Duan Qing's face was serious and his tone was full of coldness.
"Although we haven't been in contact for a long time, in my impression, people of your race are all born warriors. They are not only physically strong, but also strong-willed. They are neither afraid of us adventurers nor afraid of this endless storm.
But...your behavior is different from the Nosier people in my impression."
"disappointing."
His still dull eyes focused on the iron-like hand that appeared in the sky, and then moved with the movement of that hand. Finally, under its huge power, the weapons in his hands were separated from him.
The control was snatched away by the man next to him.
"Don't you yearn for the life of an adventurer?"
Duan Qing, holding a spear in one hand, slowly straightened up: "I can answer you...one of your questions now."
"The life of an adventurer is boring, because...the life of an adventurer cannot be described by the word 'interesting'."
"Because adventurers always fight with their lives."
Looking at the young man kneeling on the snow at his feet, Duan Qing's face gradually darkened: "You have seen the great miracles all over the world, but you have not seen the countless adventurers who are spending their lives.
On the journey to discover these wonders.”
"They are fearless in order to explore the unknown."
The young man on the ground turned pale.
"If you want to see more of this world and explore more of its unknown and mysterious places, if... you also want to be an adventurer, then... you should also be fearless
Life or death, you should also have the courage to put your life in danger. But judging from your performance just now, you do not have such quality."
"In my opinion, people who want to use suicide to solve everything are cowardly people who don't want to face reality."
He raised his spear, thrust it hard into the snow next to the young man, and then turned back.
"We are about to leave and head to Falling Star Mountain."
He said without turning his head.
"You...just figure it out yourself."
"I didn't expect you to be quite capable."
In the snow not far away, a woman in a black cloak and a big man in black armor stood side by side, waiting for him - or them. The big man among them folded his arms and looked motionless into the wind and snow not far away.
The person: "You can actually boast such a set of things..."
"He has used this trick before." Xueling Huanbing on the side began to dismantle it mercilessly: "So of course he is proficient."
"Huh..." Duan Qing, who walked next to the two of them, slapped the snowflakes on his body, and then slapped his head: "It's just... I feel it."
He looked back in the direction of the young man, who slowly stood up holding the spear stuck in the ground.
"It seems... effective." He no longer looked over there, but took the lead in walking towards the east.
"Okay, we have one more person."
"Isn't this good? Maybe this Nosier tribe knows something about this area of the Snow Mountain..."
"maybe."
Duan Qing looked at the wind and snow in the sky with some emotion.
"I'm afraid he's just a burden."
*****************
The wind was blowing everywhere, and the ice and snow were as sharp as knives. The journey in the blizzard was really not that pleasant. But it was getting very late, and they had to continue their journey, even if they could not reach the hidden hillside they walked out of before.
They also had to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they will face the fate of freezing to death in the low temperatures of wind and snow.
Taking advantage of the snow hills and slopes visible to the entourage on the snow-capped mountains, several people tried their best to hide in the leeward place - Duan Qing, who had the worst attributes among them, had begun to see the health bar drop. In order to suppress the continuous
Losing blood, they had to find a mountain to stay for a while every once in a while, waiting for the negative attributes such as low temperature on their bodies to disappear before they could continue to move forward. After walking like this for a period of time, the entire team's route became a continuous one.
The rocky mountains continued to advance, which further reduced their progress.
Fortunately, they had walked this section of the road before and were familiar with the direction.
Occasionally when they stop, Duan Qing and others will huddle in front of the rock wall with their baggage in hand, relying on each other to keep their bodies warm from freezing. However, this effect is still limited. In order to maintain consciousness,
After waking up, several people started chatting with each other and deepened their feelings for each other. Among them, the only NPC in the team became one of the best targets for their conversation.
After all, they still want to get some useful information from this NPC, and at the same time, they are also very interested in what happened to this young man.
According to the information Duan Qing talked about during the previous breaks, this young man was indeed exiled by his ethnic group, but the reason for the exile was not because his contact with outsiders was discovered - of course this was also the reason.
One - Mainly because of the prejudice that his tribe has always had against him, which exploded because of the mistake he made this time.
Of course, the word "prejudice" was how he described it himself.
As a race that lives on the snowy mountains all year round, the Nosier tribe is a naturally warlike race, because only by maintaining a fighting physique at all times can they survive in the harsh snowy mountain environment. Over time, everyone in the tribe has become
They are natural warriors, each of them has the ability to go out hunting, and each of them can hunt food for themselves and the group freely in the harsh environment, thereby maintaining the development of the entire group. In order to maintain this fighting ability, North
The Er people use many methods to continuously hone their fighting strength. There are not many specific methods for young people, but Duan Qingcai can guess it. It is nothing more than fighting against the sky, the earth, and people.
That’s all.
But young people still use one of the methods, that is, when each young man of the Nosir tribe reaches adulthood, he needs to go out and complete a trial alone to prove that he is a qualified warrior.
"Um...Art, right?"
"My full name is Yalquist, Yalquist Flatastag." The young man corrected again: "Every Nosier tribesman has a complete name, but usually
I just use the abbreviation when speaking.”
"So let's use the abbreviation..." Duan Qing touched his nose: "You didn't...failed the trial, right?"
Art lowered his head.
"No one from the tribe has passed the test for a long time." After a long time, he said timidly: "And God has become more and more angry. Even the clan leader feels that our actions have been condemned by God."
Are all ethnic minorities so superstitious... Duan Qing and the other two players looked at each other a few times, and then shook their heads in unison.
"There are many outstanding warriors in the clan. They have recently volunteered to complete the trials, but they have not come back in the end." Art continued in a low voice: "They... they should be dead."
"There are no absolutes in the world." Looking at the confused expression reflected on these five words, Duan Qing explained casually: "That is to say, there are no absolute things in this world... You haven't even seen it.
I’ve seen their bodies, why are they all dead?”
"Because they are all powerful." Art hurriedly defended: "Rom was even able to defeat an ice bear on his own! But even he didn't come back..."
"Do people in your tribe like to wear white leather clothes?" Duan Qing pointed to the clothes on his body: "Is... made of ice bear skin?"
"Yes, every member of the Nosier tribe will wear such clothes." Understanding the other party's meaning, the young man lowered his head and looked at his own clothes, but his expression became even more exhausted: "But...
.This piece is not mine, it was left behind by my father."
"Your father?"
"He died." The young man said in a low voice, "During the last migration."
"Wait a minute." Xue Ling Huan Bing on the other side suddenly said: "What's your father's name? Just abbreviate it."
"Ute." The young man glanced at the other person and then said simply.
"really......"
"Do you know his father?"
"When I came here last time, I was deeply impressed by several powerful warriors from the Nosir tribe." Xue Linghuan said in a calm voice: "This name is one of them."
"Well...I'm becoming more and more interested in your last experience."
"...It's better for you to be interested in other people."
As the two people chatted casually, the young man looked in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing in surprise: "Do you know my father?"
"Yes." The woman replied simply: "But I don't know you."
"Yeah..." Art said in a low voice again: "I have never liked fighting, but I like listening to useless stories, so I don't know how to hunt or kill at all.
Just hide in your room..."
"Okay, okay, I understand your situation." Duan Qing said: "So this time, you are kicked out to participate in the trial?"
"My birthday has passed for a long time." Art said: "But I have never done any trials. Many people in the clan look down on me because of this, but...but..."
In a tribe where the weak prey on the strong, it is strange that such people are not bullied... Duan Qing commented in his heart.
"So this is the reason why you were beaten? This is the reason why you were kicked out? This is the reason why you want to commit suicide?" Duan Qing looked into the other person's eyes: "What now? What do you think now?"
"I won't think about committing suicide anymore." The other party replied: "But I... will definitely not be able to complete the trial."
"What do you mean? Do you want us to help you?"
"No, no." The young man shook his head in a panic: "But..."
"I want to give it a try."
"Um?"
"Those things you had before..." Art became hesitant: "I have thought about it, and I am willing to give it a try..."
"Not to complete the trial, but to... my own dream."
"Your dream?" Duan Qing asked in surprise: "What is your dream?"
"I, I..." The young man lowered his head again.
"I want to find the sacred place."
