Chapter 173 Lonely Poro Vanguard Sentinel


Chapter 173 Lonely Poro Vanguard Sentinel

Whoosh! Whoops!

The biting cold wind blew through the village, blowing the blazing flames, as if mourning for these dead lives.

Huo Jixing stepped onto the blood-stained ground and looked around, carefully observing the ruined village.

As he saw earlier, there was no trace of life in the village.

The once warm home turned into a bloody hell.

Collapsed wooden houses can be seen everywhere, with broken roofs and walls blackened by flames, in stark contrast to the white snow.

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly. In this cold world of ice and snow, fire brought warmth and light, but it also brought death and destruction.

Just as he was about to leave this miserable village.

Squeak! Zhizhi!

Suddenly.

Under the burning flames, a subtle cry sounded.

Huo Jixing looked intently and saw a snow-white little guy running out from the shadow of the collapsed corner, like lightning, heading straight towards him.

“Huh?”

Huo Jixing raised his brows slightly and realized something.

The Nanli Fire within the body rises, and the red-gold flames cover the body, isolating external objects.

Perhaps he was frightened by the flames earlier.

The snow-white little guy looked at the lit Nanli Fire and stopped one meter in front of Huo Jixing, not daring to take more than half a step.

The trembling and pitiful look is a bit like a snow rabbit, silly and cute.

"Poro?"

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he instantly recognized the little guy's identity.

Snow-white fluff, a body as big as a fist, and two small gray horns on its head.

An almost perfect representation of the Poro appearance seen in his previous life.

However, now it is squatting in the snow, its dark eyes wide open, looking pitifully at Huo Jixing.

“Is it the Poro left in the village?”

Huo Jixing's eyes glowed with red-gold light, but no Poro clouds were seen rising.

“Special life form?”

Huo Jixing was filled with doubts and turned his eyes.

Seeing that this little guy wanted to get close to him, but was afraid of the flames, he looked extremely pitiful.

Immediately, he put away the Nanli Fire, half-crouched down, and reached out to touch the snowy white Fluff.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The scorching hot temperature drove away the chill of the ice and snow, making the little guy squint his eyes in comfort.

Then, it didn't seem to be afraid of strangers at all. It quickly crawled along Huo Jixing's palm to his shoulder and lay down safely.

Seeing this, Huo Jixing shook his head and chuckled, letting the little guy stay on his shoulder.

Then he crossed the ruined village and walked deep into the snow-covered mountains.

Light snowflakes swayed between the peaks and fell all over the mountains.

Huo Jixing immersed himself in moving forward, taking every step very carefully, for fear that he would fall into the mountain stream if he was not careful.

Although he wouldn't care, the Poro on his shoulder seemed a little scared.

The little guy curled up, his gray-white claws firmly grasping his shoulders. His dark eyes wanted to look down, but he didn't dare to open them.

“Haha.”

Huo Jixing chuckled, Poro's timid look was really cute.

The originally boring journey became a little more interesting with the addition of Poro.

Having said that, he still misses the Noxus Empire's [Noxtra], which is fast and convenient, and does not have to travel thousands of miles to travel.

Huo Jixing stood on the rocks and looked into the distance.

Within the field of vision, the snow-covered mountains seemed to be wrapped in clouds and mist, with no outline visible.

"After crossing the mountains, there is still some distance before you can enter the territory of the Kingdom of Demacia."

Huo Jixing took out the map and compared his position, and he understood clearly.

The jagged mountains covered with light snow in front of you are the natural barrier between the Freljord and the Kingdom of Demacia, preventing most of the Freljord's raiders from wreaking havoc southward.

Huo Jixing let out a breath, walked forward slowly, and started climbing along the mountain road.

As he climbed to the top of the mountain, it seemed that a terrifying storm was brewing in the clouds.

The blue and dark clouds rolled and roared in the endless sky. Occasionally, lightning would appear and make a deafening roar.

But the endless mountains blocked the way of the dark clouds. Huo Jixing left the top of the mountain and walked along the downhill road.

On both sides of the mountain road, he gradually saw many green carpets of Demacia pine trees.

Although the green pines are not afraid of the severe cold and grow tenaciously, they are bent by the perennial north wind.

Huo Jixing looked to the east and west.

The jagged mountains are gradually covered by a blue haze, and the sky becomes an oppressive dark black.

To the south, halfway up the plateau is covered by endless forests, dotted with cliffs and rift valleys.

This means that Huojixing has arrived in the Freljord region and has set foot in the Kingdom of Demacia.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

When Huo Jixing was about to move forward, the Poro lying on his shoulder made a sound.

It looked anxious and waved its claws, as if to say that this area was very dangerous.

Huo Jixing understood, and the fire of Nanli filled his eyes.

In an instant, he saw many clouds rising, filling the vast cliffs and rift valleys.

“Okay, don’t move.”

Huo Jixing comforted the restless Snow White Poro and looked at the dangers of the dangerous place in front of him.

Thinking about the ferocious creatures and wild monsters inside, they should be basically complete.

Crackling.

In the dark and humid forest, a bright yellow bonfire was lit.

Huo Jixing leaned against the tree trunk and was enjoying the freshly roasted wolf meat.

At his feet, there were several fine pieces of meat, and the snow-white Poro was opening his mouth and chewing slowly.

This dangerous land belonging to the Kingdom of Demacia is indeed full of wild beasts.

In just two days' journey, we have already been attacked more than ten times.

In the end, these beasts who looked down on the situation became Huo Jixing's meal, and by the way, Snow White Poro also enjoyed delicious food several times.

After eating the food, Huo Jixing extinguished the bonfire and moved forward under the cover of night.

The abundant energy brought by the Constellation Star can keep him awake for seven or eight days.

In order to get to the mission location as soon as possible, he has been working hard during this period.

"Is there anyone there?"

Halfway through the journey, Huo Jixing seemed to notice an unusual aura.

He hid in the canopy of the tree, a red-golden light glowed in his eyes, and then he saw gray-white clouds rising.

Huo Jixing calculated the distance, his heart moved, his body melted into the darkness, and he sneaked over quietly.

"Demacia's vanguard sentry?"

In the tall rift valley, Huo Jixing lowered his eyes.

I saw a young Demacia soldier wearing silver-gray armor and short blond hair hiding and resting.

Not far in front of me, piles of rubble blocked the Freljord's cold wind from blowing, and the bonfire with residual warmth flickered dim sparks.

Even when the young Demacian soldier was sleeping, he was holding a strong and sharp steel sword tightly in his arms, and there was something like a horn hanging on the left side of his waist.

Huo Jixing originally wanted to kill the young Demacia soldier directly, but thought of something and slowly backed away.

In the information of Reese Garrison.

In order to deal with the ruthless raiders of the Freljord, the Kingdom of Demacia has placed many vanguard sentries on its borders.

Once marauders attack, the vanguard sentries hiding in various places will deliver the news to the Demacia battle group behind as quickly as possible.

If the vanguard sentry resting in front of him dies suddenly, it will definitely trigger the intervention of military forces on the border of the Kingdom of Demacia.

Huo Jixing didn't want to get into trouble and left in the dark.

After leaving the cliffs and rift valleys, the cold weather gradually warmed up.

The surrounding environment is dotted with gorse and thistles, as well as lush fertile land.

Huo Jixing quickly found the trade route of the Kingdom of Demacia and felt much relieved after seeing the fresh ruts on the ground.

He glanced at the sky, preparing to enter a nearby town before dusk.
