Chapter 197 Different Claws of Winter
"Stand for me! Don't move!"
The leader spoke a slightly awkward Valoran language, and she rode on a huge wild boar and rushed out of the cavalry.
Just looking at her appearance, this master is a girl who is probably not yet grown up. Her dry hair is simply wrapped around the back of her head. Her tender and pale face shows ambiguousness, which looks like she is malnourished, but her green pupils are bright and energetic.
What's strange is that in such weather and environment, she actually wears very little clothes, only clothes made of animal skins wrapping the private parts of her thin body.
Behind the girl, she also had a huge steel knife with a mouth-opening on her back. She was not short and looked like she was over 1.7 meters tall, but compared with that steel knife, she looked small and thin.
The girl with leather gloves on her hands carrying the reins, turned over and got off the wild boar, and looked at the caravan with one hand on her hips.
"Li Ke, aren't she cold?" Jinx leaned against Li Ke and muttered in a low voice.
Although this is not the inner realm of Frellzowd, after passing the snow-capped mountains, the temperature in the Frellzowd border area is at least minus twenty degrees below zero. The frozen soil here has never melted, and ice stubble and frost are always hanging on the trees, let alone the thick snow like ice.
Stepping on it barefoot. Hiss, Jinx didn't dare to think about how his feet would be frozen.
Frozen pig's trotters?
You know, she is wearing a thick cashmere jacket now, and she wears three pieces of clothes to keep warm, and even puts a warm patch on her waist and back. But even so, Jinx will still feel cold.
Where did the little native Zuan have seen such a harsh environment as Freljord in his life?
"Her physique is very special." Li Ke looked at the girl and answered Jinx's question with his eyes squinted.
Yes, this girl is one of the few people in this group who wear very little clothes.
And for such a person, Li Ke subconsciously popped up a related word - the Blood of the Ice.
Ice Bloodline, a special physique in Frelljod. People with this physique have a much higher physical fitness and sensitivity to magic than ordinary people. Based on the concentration of Ice Bloodline in their bodies, the physique of this type of people is even more than that of Valoran's most elite troops and the Fearless Pioneer Legion.
In terms of military quality, Fearless Pioneer must have exaggerated this group of people, but if you really want to talk about potential and strength, the Frozen Bloodline is even more powerful.
As for the Ice Bloodline, the first thing to know is that this physique is a rare but not rare physique, not the same as what players and netizens think, it is a physique that only Ash and Se Zhuoni have.
In Frelljord, the special thing about Frelljord people with many ice bloodlines is that the concentration of blood in their bodies is far beyond that of ordinary people, not to mention that they have rumors of "reincarnation".
Therefore, looking at the girl who got off the mount and walked to John, five meters in front of him, Li Ke knew that this girl was the warrior of Winter Claws, and she was also a small leader.
As for why Li Ke thought the other party was Winter Claw and the little leader.
Haha, that's because in Frelljord, if you can ride a large-scale force on a boar, then there is only the Claw of Winter.
Sezunni's mount is called Steel Bristle, which is a Juvasque wild boar. The Juvasque wild boar is different from the wild beasts such as Freljode and frost wolf, moose, yak. The Juvasque wild boar has a thin bloodline of gods, and Steel Bristle is one of the best.
In other words, the Juvasque wild boars in Freljod pursue their roots, and the ancestors of these boars were gods
Therefore, except for Winter Claws, the rest of the tribes cannot tame the Guyvasque boars, and this girl is the only one in this group who wears less clothes and can ride the Guyvasque boars.
Another thing is that she is the leader and the first one to rush out. Then she is not the leader, who is it?
Li Ke looked at the other party and looked at John again.
I sighed that John was lucky because kindness helped him and Jinx, and now it was Li Ke's turn to help him.
Come to Frelljord, Li Ke is here to rescue Dryus, and to save Dryus, he can't escape dealing with Winter Claws. Even without John, Li Ke will take the initiative to find Winter Claws. Now, Winter Claws run out by themselves
Do John a favor and avoid the loss of his goods, just treat it as a reward for him to let Jinx get into the RV.
Thinking of this, Li Ke was about to come forward.
But as soon as he was about to step on his legs, Li Ke stopped.
He heard the conversation between the Winter Claw Tribe girl and John in front of him.
"Where did you come back?"
John quickly replied, "Greetings to the Claws of Winter, I came back from Bering's small country."
"What have you transported?" the girl nodded and asked again.
"Kerosene, charcoal, pot shop and some food." John reported truthfully.
The girl raised her hand behind her back and waved it gently. The two Winter Claw warriors riding on the snow wolf got off their mounts, walked towards the tall moose, then lifted the gray cloth and looked through the goods.
In just a moment, they shouted, "Dona, no problem, they are all pots and utensils, no swords were found."
The girl named Dona heard the sound, looked at John, raised her chin and said, "Do you understand the rules?"
"I understand, sir, look, what do you need?"
Li Ke listened and frowned.
"Everyone has been living a bad life recently. Noxus launched a war against us some time ago. Although they were defeated, many people remained in the territory, not to mention that the Frost Guard tribe has started to act again. Do you know them?" Dona said to John.
John nodded and said with a hunched over, "Yes, sir, I know, I am very grateful for the efforts of Winter Claws for us."
He agreed with Dona in his heart.
Winter Claws are a robber tribe, but most of the time, Winter Claws will not persecute travelers. They will only launch wars between tribes and absorb each other. Therefore, for travelers, encountering Winter Claws may be a bad thing, but if you encounter other robber tribes, it will be even more unlucky.
Sejonny is a smart and great war mother. She ordered the ban on the slaughter of Winter's Claws to slaughter Frelljons, because Sejonny knew clearly that it was precisely because these merchants came and went around the world that Frelljons now have some good things.
But Se Zhuoni knew that other tribes and mothers were different. In Freljode, where supplies were scarce and living environment was harsh, many small tribes disappeared from history every winter.
In order to survive, these people can do anything. When they encounter the Claw of Winter, they will lose some goods at most. But if they encounter other robber tribes, they will lose both their lives.
The Frost Guard tribe is even more taboo for Frellzowd. These people obeyed the big man who lived in the "Legend". Every time they came out, Frellzowd would fall into turmoil.
Recently, the Frost Guard Fortress has started to take action again. For businessmen like John, if they encounter them, there is no other possibility except death.
And at this time, the only one who can protect them and other travelers are the robbers of Winter Claws.
Therefore, John now has fear and respect for Dona, but he does not hate Dona.
"How is your harvest?" Dona saw that John knew the rules very well, so she stopped her arrogant aura and turned around and said with a smile.
Her face was really white, and she was sickly, malnourished pale. It could not only be seen from the complexion of her skin, but also from the blue veins that burst out from Donna's slender arms and the protruding ribs on her tightly clumped lower abdomen. The Claw of Winter should have been very bad during this period.
"Sir, how much do you want?" John asked tentatively.
Donna was stunned and said speechlessly: "I really hate thinking the most. Forget it, let me think about it." Li Ke, who was standing beside her, gave up the idea of coming forward as he listened to these conversations.
The Claw of Winter seems to be different from what I imagined?
It seems that Winter Claws play the role of protectors of travelers, and they only "pay taxes" for travelers?
After all, Li Ke could see that John had no disgust towards the fact that part of the goods was taken away. From this, it can be seen that this is a willingness to fight and a willingness to be beaten.
What's the point of Li Ke suddenly jumping out?
But to be honest, Li Keben thought Winter Claws would be like a villain. After all, for him, Ash's Avarosa tribe is more acceptable to Li Keb than Sejöni's Winter Claws.
Among them, one is the ideal and the other is the conqueror.
According to Li Ke’s thoughts, of course, he is more willing to be more inclined to the ideals.
After a while, Dona raised her head and said, "What about me, just give me 20% of the food in your goods."
John was a little surprised when he heard this, "Why is it only 20% this time?"
John originally thought Dona would ask for 50%, but 20%?
You should know that winter is coming soon. Frelljord in winter is a test for every tribe, and the same is true for large tribes like Winter Claws.
I remember when I passed by last year, John was surrounded by the Noxus. It was Winter Claw that defeated the Noxus and then took all the caravan's food away, of course, only food.
And this time, the Claws of Winter only have 20%?
"You are not in danger. If you are attacked by the Noxus, the Frost Guard tribe or other tribes, we will arrive. After I save your door, I will definitely ask you for 80% of the food, but now you are just passing by." Dona said seriously: "Hey, we have a hard time this winter, and you are all the same."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Since everyone is not having a good time, we have to just live and work hard to survive this winter." The girl said with a smile.
John looked at Dona gratefully, raised his hand, and shouted: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Get rid of food for the adults of the Winter Claw Tribe, 30% or 40%!"
"Sir, we are willing to give you 40% of the food." John looked at Dona and continued, "Can you ask you to escort us to Nelzayag?"
"As you said, the Frost Guard tribe has begun to appear again, without your protection."
"It's okay, but I'll bring twenty people to protect you. The rest will escort the food back to the tribe." Dona thought for a while, nodded and agreed. At the same time, she looked at John and said funny: "You little old man is also a dishonest."
John smiled, bent respectfully, put his hand on his chest, performed Freljord's etiquette, and said seriously, "Pray for the great Winter Claw Fighting Mother."
Soon, the Winter Claw tribe took away 40% of the caravan's food, nearly a thousand kilograms of food.
A moose can carry a thousand kilograms of food perfectly on the snowy mountain, while the claws of Winter are transported in bags, and wolves, pigs, and mooses carry more than 100 kilograms of food respectively.
After all, they have to quickly transport the food back to the tribe. First, the claw of Winter is now in short supply of food. 40% of the food here can allow hundreds of people to spend this winter, and the second is to avoid the long nights and dreams, and return to the tribe early to feel at ease.
Dona fulfilled the agreement and took more than a dozen people to accompany the caravan, preparing to escort John's caravan to a nearby town.
Li Ke and Jinx did not return to the carriage, but followed the team.
During this period, Donna noticed Jinx and Li Ke, and was obviously not a Frelljord outsider. The girl showed a hint of confusion on her face, but she didn't say anything, after all, this was John's caravan.
"They are from Zuan and are traveling to Frelljord." Seeing Donna be puzzled, John introduced himself.
After listening to John's introduction, Dona showed a mocking smile on her face.
"Travel?"
"Ha, come to Frelljord for a trip?"
"It's really crazy. We were still fighting the Noxus people half a year ago. During this period, Frost Guards appeared and several tribes were slaughtered. At this time, come to Frelljod for a trip?"
Dona didn't know how to describe the behavior of this man and a woman, but she really felt it was stupid.
From the clothes, health, and expressions on their faces, Donna could see that these two people lived happily and didn’t have to worry about food and the environment. Since they were happy, why did they take risks?
Don't understand. I really can't understand.
Seeing Dona looking at her, Jinx, who was already curious about Dona, took the initiative to step forward and trotted to the side of the Juvasque wild boar, looking up and saying hello to Dona.
"Get out!" But when Dona saw Jinx coming, she nervously pulled the reins and scolded loudly.
Jinx was stunned, his brows pressed down and his temper was about to break out. What a joke. I, Jinx, said hello to you with kindness, would you tell me to get out of here?
In other words, the clothes were too thick and they couldn't take out the small pistol, otherwise Jinx would take the small pistol to Dona with the backhand, and say another sentence - would you say another sentence?
But just when Jinx was unhappy, the Juvasque boar under Dona's crotch rioted. The stranger's aura from Freljord made him feel angry, especially in this aura, which was mixed with the human aura that had fought some time ago, which made the wild boar even more angry.
He fluttered his big head restlessly, and the Juvasque wild boar turned his head directly and pushed it towards Jinx with his huge fangs.
"No, Vana, stop!" Dona exclaimed when she saw this.
Damn it!
But she could not control the three-meter-sized monster sitting on the wild boar. She could only see the Juvasque boar named Vana and headed towards the girl wrapped in white bear.
Just when everyone around them exclaimed, including Dona, they thought that the girl was going to be penetrated by the Juvasque wild boar, and when they were alive and dead on the spot, a hand suddenly stretched out from the girl's hand.
The hand was extremely fair and slender, and it pressed on Vana's fangs lightly.
The next second, blue veins appeared on the white hand, accompanied by a man spitting out a byte in a clear voice—
"Get out."
Dona suddenly felt her body hang up, and then she landed on Vana's back, floating around, smashed ice and snowflakes.
She looked forward dumbly, the girl was not injured because a young black haired man appeared behind the girl.
He pressed Vana to the ground with one hand and stared at Vana's eyes with his dark pupils.
"Woo--"
Everyone saw the wild Juvasque whimpering in fear.
