[Talent: Suzaku : Nanli’s Fire, Red Eyes and Fire Pupils]
In the data panel.
In addition to the new talent skill [Suzaku·Red Eyes of Fire], Huo Jixing saw some changes in other attribute data.
Although there is not much improvement, he can feel the improvement in physical fitness.
The most important thing is that the Nanli fire floating in the blood of the meridians seems to have grown stronger. The burning sensation has become more intense, and the body is also boiling hot.
"Luck favors me!" Huo Jixing said with a soft smile.
The rune items given by Darius not only allowed him to successfully activate the Guisu Star and obtain new talents and skills, but also faintly strengthened the Jingsu Star, making the fire of Nanli even hotter.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Jixing closed the door and windows and walked back to the bed.
Cross your knees, sit cross-legged on the wooden bed, and start [inspecting your body] to enter a deep state of meditation.
It is already late at night.
He plans to stay here and not go back to his own place. In fact, he doesn’t have much to organize.
Armor and weapons are carried with you.
Eric had already prepared all the items needed for this mission and put them in the bag in the room.
When dawn comes, he can just put his bag on his back and start his journey.
Time passes quietly like running water.
Above the dim sky, the light of dawn seems to be like a tide, soaking through the night and snowflakes.
Huo Jixing woke up from meditation, looked at the sky outside the window, picked up his bags, got up and went downstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the living room on the first floor, he saw everyone standing there, getting ready to go.
Eric walked up to him and was about to say something when he faintly noticed that there seemed to be a slight change in Huo Jixing.
Just as he was about to take a look, his heart tightened suddenly, and the hair on his body suddenly exploded.
This reminded him of the feeling when he first joined the Northern Chapter of the Empire and faced the most powerful warrior of the Winter's Claw tribe - the Blood Warrior.
Helpless, fearful, panicked!
Even death!
"What's wrong?" Huo Jixing seemed to be aware of it, turned to look at Eric, who looked strange, and asked.
“It’s nothing!”
Alec pretended not to care, suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, but secretly sighed: What a terrifying talent.
It’s just one night.
Huo Jixing seemed to have become a lot stronger, which made him feel a sense of decadence in his heart.
But when I think of this mission, my depression fades away and my mood becomes a little higher.
The stronger Huo Jixing is, the greater the possibility that they can come back alive.
"Everyone, now that you are ready, let's go!" Huo Jixing looked around at every teammate in the room and said in a solemn voice.
Ellick, DeWitt, Moore, Korda, Haig.
All the Noxian scouts were fully armed, with strong composite armor on their bodies, sheathed blades on their waists, and heavy shields on their backs.
In addition, everyone carried a heavy leather backpack containing water bladders, rations and military equipment, as well as replacement fur cloaks.
Accompany Huo Jixing’s orders.
The Noxian scouts filed out and walked neatly towards the camp's iron gate.
Along the way, Huo Jixing could see that there were significantly fewer Noxian soldiers in the camp, and the noise gradually weakened.
Swain's coup completely changed the situation of the Noxus Empire.
Many powerful nobles and imperial generals began to choose different paths.
In order to avoid falling into imperial disputes, Darius, as the commander of the North, decisively launched an all-out war and invaded the Freljord.
The vanguard battle group and the Noxian scouts took the lead in setting foot in the far north and sounded the clarion call for attack.
Woo! Woohoo! Woohoo!
Not far from the camp, Huo Jixing, who was walking along the mountain road, suddenly heard a low horn sound coming from behind.
Listen carefully, the horn sound is high, intense and continuous. Like the ancient war songs passed down in Noxus, it awakens the war factor in every Noxian.
"It's the legion trumpeter!" Eric's voice sounded at the right time.
Huo Jixing looked back and saw the majestic Noxian camp. Under the sound of the horn, he completely woke up like a prostrate lion.
A mighty crimson wave emerged overwhelmingly, flooding the snow-white mountains.
Tide! ?
No, not a wave!
It is the Noxian battle group that goes on and on, the Noxian soldiers who fill the mountains and plains!
The curtain is rising, the war has arrived!
Freljord.
The biting cold wind howled, blowing snowflakes all over the sky.
On the silver-white snow, there are two figures approaching from far away, looking at the surrounding environment extremely carefully, as if they are following some trace.
Whoo! Whoops!
The cold wind swept across the world non-stop, and the biting chill soaked into the gray fur cloak.
By the dim starlight, the two figures walked to a hilly depression and quietly stopped. A touch of solidified blood-red color, like fuel, smeared on the snow.
“All dead!”
DeWitt crouched on the ground, looking coldly at the haven near the hill.
A large pool of crimson blood was frozen into ice, and broken corpses were scattered all over the ground, most of which were beyond recognition and had missing limbs.
Observing this battlefield carefully, it can be seen from the remaining armor and weapon styles that the owner of the corpse is a Noxian scout.
Two or three more were clan warriors, discarded at will.
"The battle ended in a hurry!" A deep voice sounded behind DeWitt.
Rand looked at the hollow of the hill with a cold expression, his nostrils twitching, and the cold wind and snow could hardly hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Those damn clan warriors should have known that someone would be chasing them, and they wouldn't even have time to clean up the bodies of their own people."
"Then what should we do now? Keep chasing?" DeWitt He came closer and asked, with a look of asking for advice on his young face.
In this reorganized scout team, DeWitt's strength is at the bottom level.
So he is very self-aware and does not need special instructions from Huo Jixing. As long as the veteran orders him, he will do his best to complete it.
"No, no need, wait until the captain of ten comes."
Rand wiped off the ice shards on his face, looked at the rushing wind and snow, walked into the hollow of the hill, and avoided the wails A cold wind.
“It’s useless for the two of us to catch up, just wait!”
After a cup of tea.
In the howling wind and snow, there was the dull sound of footsteps.
Led by Huo Jixing, eight Noxian scouts broke through the snow curtain and walked into the hollow of the hill.
“Did another group of scouts die?”
Huo Jixing lifted up his cloak and hat and scanned the bloody battlefield with light steps.
"The traces of the fight are obvious, indicating that the two sides are about the same strength." Rand pointed to the many traces covered by the new snow, a cruel look on his cold face.
“It should have been an unexpected surprise attack, which caused chaos in the team, coupled with the large number of clan warriors, causing the entire team to be wiped out.”
“Ambush? Interesting!”
Huo Jixing thought of the battles he had experienced before.
It seems that in this snow-white land, ambush is the most commonly used tactic with the least loss.
Looking back at the people who were resting, Huo Jixing said in a solemn voice: "We will set off in half a quarter of an hour."
Unlike him, the other scouts in the team were ordinary people.
Even with strong physical fitness, it seems a little stretched when facing the constant wind and snow.
Huo Jixing stood in the wind, looking at the snowflakes covering his field of vision, shaking his head slightly.
After a few days of traveling, he truly saw the cruelty and death of this war.
The Noxian scouts and the clan warriors of Winter's Claw are killing crazily in this snow-white land, smearing the glory of victory with their own blood.
Under the dark night sky.
Huo Jixing's eyes flashed with red light, and he saw countless rising clouds of different colors, either gray or black, entangled and surrounding each other, indistinguishable from each other.
"Captain of ten!" Eric's voice sounded from behind.
Huo Jixing turned around and saw that everyone had already stood up, silently waiting for his order.
"Let's go!"
The update is a bit late, please continue to read, collect, and recommend!
