Chapter 54 Crows Whisper Death Circle
Iron Thorn Mountains, Frozen River.
In the sparse snow, there is a convoy filled with supplies and fully armed, moving forward slowly, leaving a series of deep marks along the way.
These vehicles dragged by Enuk, like brave men who are not afraid of the cold, resolutely cross the ice-covered river.
Some clan warriors looked down at the solid ice, and occasionally could see some pale bones and broken weapons.
It is a souvenir left by the deceased.
Looking from a distance, it can be seen that each carriage is wrapped in thick animal skins, and seems to be stuffed with items, with fine pieces of ice and snow accumulated on the raised parts.
The rolling wheels also left deep marks on the snow.
Maybe it was carrying too many vehicles, and the hard ice made a slight sound in the ears of many clan warriors.
But they don’t care. They know that it is the test of winter and the rhythm of progress.
Among the messy trees.
On the mountain road covered with snowflakes and rocks, there are clan warriors who came first to conduct reconnaissance and are cleaning the road.
They heard some rumors.
Recently, in this vast pale mountain range, a team of Noxian scouts has been intercepting and killing material transport teams without restraint.
Many teams have been killed.
It is for this reason that the leader of the clan warriors guarding the convoy in the rear sent many scouts to patrol the surrounding areas.
However, the slightly immature reconnaissance methods of the clan warriors are too easy to avoid in front of veterans like Sharuba.
Under the thick layer of snow.
Huo Jixing and his party were covered with thick fur cloaks and waited silently.
Old method, but simple and effective.
Huo Jixing, who happened to be idle, listened to the conversations of the clan warriors on the mountain road, and occasionally mentioned rumors about him and his scouts.
Many clan warriors call them evil spirits from the Howling Abyss.
The methods are quite cruel and tyrannical, and will not leave any survivors alive for all enemies.
Perhaps God is kind, and the blizzard that lasted for a long time began to gradually weaken.
But the cold under the snow layer still persists.
Huo Jixing didn't care, but Xialuba and Eric behind him were a little unbearable.
The desolate chill passed over the fur cloak, soaked into the body, and brought pain that penetrated to the bone marrow.
This is especially true for Oaks, who was already injured.
Even though he was blocked by the black grid, his slightly thick lips turned purple and his body trembled, but he held back and did not make any sound.
Huo Jixing could not take care of Oaks, so he could only lie silently in the snow and continue to wait.
Until the heavy carriage pressed against the ice and snow mountain road, making a creaking sound.
Besides this, more sounds penetrate the snow as the distance gets closer.
There are the breathing sounds of Enuk, the chatter and laughter of clan warriors, and some subtle sounds, similar to the chirping of birds.
While waiting, Huo Jixing noticed that his clothes were being pulled. He turned around and saw the pale Oaks pointing to the top of his head.
He understood immediately, no longer covered up, and jumped up directly.
The thick fur cloak fell to the snow, and dancing snowflakes scattered in the air.
“Kill!”
A thunderous cry broke the atmosphere in the snow and echoed over the material transport team.
Huo Jixing was like a sharp blade cutting through the snow curtain. The slender long knife dragged on the snow, pulling out a straight trace, and rushed towards the middle of the convoy.
And Huo Jixing’s roar.
Heralding the start of the attack was the call to action.
Behind him, Sheruba, Eric and others, like black wolves who had been waiting for a long time, roared one after another, followed Huo Jixing, and rushed towards the slightly chaotic clan warriors. .
Their eyes were as cold as ice, each locked on their target.
Under the blooming red-gold flames, they turned into silent shadows of death, accurately and fiercely harvesting the lives of clan warriors.
In the chaotic convoy, shouts and commands sounded one after another.
But under the bloody killings of the Noxian scouts, it has become insignificant.
They broke through the defenses and tore apart the blocking clan warriors. The blades in their hands were already stained red, and they exuded a cruel and ruthless aura. After just one impact, the clan warriors began to flee in panic.
Unfortunately, what greeted them was only more death.
The battle lasted only a few minutes and was over. The snow was covered with cold corpses.
Huo Jixing, standing in the bloody center, frowned.
“These clan warriors seem a little weaker than the previous convoy!”
He looked at the scouts who were releasing Enuk and left, and then looked at the two carriages beside him, the food and supplies are somewhat scarce.
But he didn’t say much.
After many consecutive victories, Huo Jixing has lost the vigilance he should have.
After the battle this time, he did not rush to activate [Suzaku·Red Eyes of Fire], but walked in the direction of Oaks, where the sword boy Heini was taking care of him.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him approaching, Oakes thought something was wrong and asked.
"Nothing, just to see how your injury is?" Huo Jixing didn't prompt Oakes when he saw him, and immediately relaxed and started to care about the other person's injury.
"It's nothing serious. It's just affected by the weather. It will probably take a long time to recover." Oakes chuckled softly and touched Henie's head.
With the care of the sword boy Heini and the protection of the shield guard Heig, in the recent battles, he basically encountered no decent attacks.
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, then returned to the vehicle, ready to search for items.
The scout team has gained a lot from the recent successful interceptions.
But Huo Jixing himself did not get any rune items, which made him a little anxious. He even suspected that the rune items he got before were the blessing of the god of luck.
Suddenly!
When he was mentally sensing whether there were runes in the vehicle, he saw a black crow hovering over the vehicle battlefield, making hoarse calls from time to time, as if celebrating something.
"Birds are chirping. Something is wrong with the crow!"
Huo Jixing looked at the black crow above his head and suddenly woke up, a red light appeared in his eyes.
He looked around and saw many clouds rising.
Not in front of him, but from far to near, approaching the battlefield at a very fast speed.
Looking from a distance, there are quite a few clouds, about fifty.
Most of them are gray and black, but among the many clouds, there is a blue cloud as thick as a fist, which seems to be a cold current, bringing a bone-chilling chill.
It’s not just enemies emerging from a distance.
Under the red gaze, in the scout team near him, there were also many black clouds rising, gray and black mixed, swaying.
“If an enemy is approaching, evacuate quickly!” Huo Jixing roared angrily.
After hearing the order, the Noxian scouts immediately stopped their movements, gave up the loot in front of them, and prepared to leave quickly.
Under the bright yellow firelight, the hurried figures of the Noxian scouts can be faintly seen.
However, just as they left the burning car array, there were sharp whistling sounds in the distance.
Chichi! Chichi! Chichi!
The snow curtain opens and black shadows fall.
"It's an arrow!"
Sharupa turned around and saw the sharp arrows falling from the air, and his expression suddenly changed: "Haig, Tulio!"
Have not left the car formation yet. The tauren Heig and the shield guard Tulio immediately turned around and appeared behind the team, erecting thick and strong shields.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dull sound continued to sound.
The tauren Hege relied on his strong body and stepped on the snow with his feet, staying still.
The steps of the shield guard Tulio staggered a little, and he stepped back continuously, unloading the huge force from the shield.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of dark clouds in the distance, rushing towards him in a heavy blackness.
There were also a large number of crows lingering in the sky, their beaks opened wide, and their hoarse voices sounded, like the whispers of death, surrounding their ears, causing everyone to feel restless.
