Li Zige and his tribe were galloping across the snowfields, trying their best to search for traces of prey. Of course, the most important thing was to avoid the demon king-level monsters that were also hunting everywhere, or some special snowfield groups.
In this vast snowfield with harsh environment, villagers like them are actually the bottom 'prey', the most delicious prey in the eyes of some powerful ethnic groups or monsters. For thousands of years, their lives have continued to 'hunt and kill'
The life course of "prey" and "hunted". Sometimes the snowfield environment is harsh, or powerful monsters are sweeping around. They either hide in the village and starve, or they risk going out to become food for the monsters again.
But this time they were relatively lucky in their adventurous outing. They had been deep into the snowfield for three days and caught seven snow rabbits and three snow foxes. What made them proud was that they caught a level four monster, the Ice Lingma, which was quite strong and strong.
Their village had a feast for three days. Although it was not a bumper harvest, at least it was not nothing. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
But these were far from enough. They consumed the entire village's food and rushed into the snowfield with the hopes of many children, in need of a bigger harvest.
"Brother, do you want to continue walking inside?" A one-eyed strong man descended from the sky riding an Ice Golden-headed Crane. The Ice-Golden-headed Crane is a third-level monster. Although its combat effectiveness is not very good, it is better because it can fly and fly.
Detecting the surrounding situation is the main combat capability of the team.
Li Zige held a broadsword and stood astride a two-headed wolf. His face was full of tenacity and fortitude, revealing a savage murderous intent, and he looked far ahead into the cold wind.
The fifty-odd young men in the village also straightened their backs, their eyes were shining, and they were not afraid. But looking at the front and then at Li Zige, they did not dare to speak randomly.
The valley below them is the farthest boundary line that they have ever traveled for hunting. For Shicun, further ahead are certain forbidden areas in the snowy mountains. Although there are a lot of prey inside, there are monster king-level terrors.
Monsters, that is the territory of the demon kings. If you are not careful, more than fifty of them will be buried in the ice and snow.
"There are obviously a lot less prey in the periphery. They may have fled to other areas after being frightened. We don't have time to sweep in those directions. Maybe... we can risk trying to go forward." Li Zige held the sword and his voice was unusually low, like
You are talking to yourself.
"Brother, give it a try, we can't afford to delay. I'll be scouting in front. If anything goes wrong, I'll turn around and run away immediately." The one-eyed man on the ice golden-headed crane is Li Zige's brother Li Zijian, who has a wild temperament.
The biggest advantage is that he is not afraid of death or anything, and he only wants to help his elder brother protect the village.
Li Zige seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Bury the prey nearby and remove unnecessary burdens. We will go into battle lightly and go one thousand meters deep in front. If we find the prey, we will kill it immediately. If there is no harvest, we will return the same way."
Remember, no one is allowed to act privately."
"Brother, brothers..." Li Zijian looked at the villagers behind him hesitantly.
"Don't worry, we can persevere!!" The young adults gritted their teeth, but... they had not eaten for a day. Although they had brought enough rations, life in the mountains was difficult.
, no one wants to waste it.
Li Zige said: "Slaughter a snow fox, each person will eat the meat, drink the blood, and feed the viscera to the mount."
A snow fox is very small, and each person only takes one bite. However, it is an unprecedented time to eat prey during hunting. In the past, it was brought back to the village for redistribution.
"You guys eat, I'll go to the front to investigate." Li Zijian endured his hunger and rushed to the snowy field ahead, and was soon drowned in the strong wind and drifting snow.
"Ancestors and martyrs, bless us to come back safely and bless us to catch more prey." Li Zige closed his eyes, hugged the handle of the knife, and prayed silently.
But soon... a faint shout came along with the strong wind, alerting the villagers who were disemboweling the snow fox. They all stopped their work, frowned and stared into the distance. They were slightly quiet, and very
I quickly identified the direction of the sound based on the wind direction and the intensity of the sound.
At this moment, the sound of cranes hooting quickly came, and the ice-snow golden-headed crane almost escaped from the depths of the snowfield, looking very frightened.
But there is no Li Zijian on it!
"No, something happened! Ten people came out and followed me. The rest returned to the village immediately with gifts. No one was allowed to look back!" Li Zige roared loudly, got on the two-headed wolf, and ran towards the depths of the snowfield.
The ten strongest combatants from the team automatically emerged and rushed out with Li Zige resolutely. The rest did not hesitate, dug out the prey they had just buried, and fled towards Shicun.
Having lived in the snowfield for a long time, they are used to seeing life and death, and understand the importance. Every move is smooth and natural, but there is a bit of sadness.
but……
Before they had rushed far, all the *monstrous beasts stopped without warning. Li Zige and others above were caught off guard and were thrown away. They fell headlong into the snowdrift and rolled a long way away.
The monsters seemed to have sensed some kind of terrifying aura. They were restless, wailing lowly, staring ahead, retreating step by step. Before Li Zige and the others could climb out, they turned and fled in the distance.
"Come back!! Come back!!" Li Zige roared, his white pupils glowing with a strange light, and the two-headed wolf that escaped was immediately affected. The rest of the villagers squatted on the spot, their white pupils getting paler, staring straight at them
Those monsters that fled in panic.
All the monsters stopped one after another, as if being pulled by some force, wailing lowly and trying to go back, but the fear in their bodies made them struggle hard.
The situation quickly became a stalemate, but...
ah!!
A villager screamed, and blood oozed from his pale pupils. The monster beast controlled by him seemed to have suddenly untied its rope and fled away into the distance.
One after another, all the villagers' eyes were bleeding and they screamed in agony. The monsters broke free one after another and fled far away. Even Li Zige was unable to control the two-headed wolf.
"Brother, let's retreat! Something terrible must have happened inside, otherwise the mounts wouldn't be so scared."
"Zijian is afraid that there will be a lot of misfortune!"
Everyone was terrified. They had never seen the monsters so frightened and completely out of control.
"You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look." Li Zige picked up the steel knife and rushed into the snowy field. He couldn't give up on his clan brothers, or he never gave up on anyone easily, which is why he was widely supported in the village.
The others gritted their teeth, struggled to get up one after another, and rushed in after him.
Hundreds of meters away, the ice and snow melted, revealing a tough mountain road that had not been exposed for thousands of years. As if being burned by a fierce flame, the melted area was very large, and the melted road extended from the deepest part of the snowfield.
The world was silent, the wind had calmed down, the snow had stopped, and everything around was silent, not even the roars of animals.
The two overlord-level demon kings in the snowfield died in pain, as if they were killed by some force because they failed to escape in time.
Li Zijian was still in shock, his eyes widened in horror, staring ahead. On the melting road, a figure was walking forward staggeringly, as if he might fall down at any time.
He felt an unspeakable sense of fear, as if an ancient beast was coming towards him.
There was only panic in his body, his mind went blank, and his body lost consciousness.
"Zijian!!" Li Zige and others called anxiously from behind.
"No...don't...come...come" Li Zijian said tremblingly, trying to remind his elder brother, but his teeth were trembling, and his voice was low as if he was mumbling.
"Zijian!! Zijian!! Reply?" Li Zige's majestic and anxious voice got closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of rapid and messy footsteps.
"Don't... don't come here..." Li Zijian looked at the approaching 'devil' in front of him with trembling eyes, and finally shouted with all his strength: "Run away!!"
Li Zige and others paused and saw clearly Li Zige's figure in the snow in front of them, but they also noticed the strange environment in front of them and the swaying figure.
"Escape!!" Li Zijian struggled to get up, rolling and crawling away towards the distance. He boasted that he was not afraid of death, and boasted that he was tough and strong, but now he felt like he was soaked in ice water from head to toe, feeling unspeakable fear.
It's like swallowing it whole.
He had once escaped from the fangs of an ice crocodile, had danced with death among wolves, and had faced the violent storm caused by the demon king with a smile, but the feeling now was completely different, a fear he had never experienced before in his life.
Li Zige and others all froze on the spot, their pale pupils full of fear, staring at the silent area in front of them. The sky and the earth were filled with green mist. From a distance, it looked like a giant monster slowly moving toward them.
Moving forward, it brings a terrifying and oppressive feeling like a mountainous ocean.
"Run away, run away!" Li Zijian ran over like crazy, waking up the sluggish Li Zige. He was so excited that he was like a basin of cold water being poured on his body. They all jumped up and turned around and ran away.
