Chapter 232 Escape (2)
“You came out just like that?”
Walking in the snow and ice of the city-state, Ye Jing felt a little dizzy.
To him, the words of the Gunhild family undoubtedly meant that our family was also going to escape and stay away from your rule.
But the lonely king of the tower actually believed it!
He is a demon god, how come he doesn't even have this much brains?
"Ah chirp!"
Suddenly, the sound of sneezing behind him made Ye Jing turn around, and he saw the members of the Gunhild clan wearing thin robes, shivering in the cold wind with their arms folded over their chests.
"What am I thinking about? This group of people have no experience of living in the ice and snow. They ran out without wearing any thick clothes. If I were the lonely king of the high tower, I would let this group of people out without worry." Ye Jing muttered to himself.
"Ah!" Wendy sneezed as she came to Ye Jing's side: "Moore, there is such a view outside. It's amazing, but it's too cold. How come you are fine?"
Ye Jing and his subordinates practiced the Jade Refining Acupoint Technique. Although their talent was not very good and they could only see more than twenty acupoints, their physical fitness was enough to cope with the severe cold.
"It's cold everywhere. I was just dazzled by the scenery for a moment." Ye Jing covered his chest with both hands and said, "It's really cold. Did you bring anything to keep warm?"
"Warming up?" Wendy blinked. "What is that? We only brought horses, food and tents."
"If they don't bring thick clothes, they will freeze to death, right?" Ye Jing cursed in his heart, "I should have told these people what to prepare earlier. No, we have to think of a way to keep them alive, otherwise, they will all freeze to death before the people from the Human King Wansui arrive."
As time passed, the Gunhild members, who were still immersed in the surrounding scenery and the joy of freedom, began to feel the biting cold. They huddled together, shivering, and dared not move forward.
This is true for people, let alone horses.
Seeing this, Ye Jing ordered his subordinates to cut down nearby pine trees and light a bonfire.
When Gunhild's tribesmen saw the campfire, they immediately came closer, put their hands on the fire, and had a comfortable look on their faces.
"Don't get too close, be careful your clothes catch fire!" Ye Jing couldn't help but shout when he saw Wendy about to put her hand into the fire.
Wendy pulled her hand back a little after hearing that: "Moore, you still have a solution!"
Ye Jing shook his head: "This is only temporary. We still need to go south and find a more suitable place to live."
"Yes, yes, the South is a warm place." Wendy said happily with shining eyes. Even the wind elf on her shoulder became happy and circled around Wendy's head.
Ye Jing was about to speak when his expression suddenly turned cold and he stood up to look.
His subordinates also sensed the danger and stood up one by one to prepare for battle.
Gunnhild's people were at a loss.
At this time, white wolves as big as calves suddenly appeared in the surrounding pine forests.
"The offspring of the Northern Wolf King, how come they appear here?" Ye Jing frowned.
"Gather together! Gather together!" The chief of Gunhild shouted hurriedly, asking his people to gather together, "Children and women are inside, and men are outside!"
I have to say that this patriarch does have some abilities.
Ye Jing and his subordinates were outside looking at the wolves coldly.
"Boss, are we going to fight?" the subordinate asked.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Seeing dozens of white wolves surrounding everyone, they seemed to have sensed the strength of Ye Jing and his companions and did not dare to attack rashly. Then they turned their attention to the dozens of horses.
As mentioned before, horses are an important commodity in the city-state. Even Gunhild, one of the three great nobles, did not dare to bring too many horses with her, for fear of causing dissatisfaction from the Lone King of the High Tower.
When the horses saw the wolves, they did not move. They were as spoiled as the nobles and had no idea what danger was. The wolves were staring at them, but they just watched.
Soon, a white wolf could not hold back any longer and pounced forward swiftly. It jumped up and bit a horse's throat, knocking it to the ground.
"Xilulu!"
It was not until this time that the other horses began to panic, neighing and trying to flee in all directions. But at this moment, there were wolves everywhere. Where could they escape to?
Dozens of good horses had their throats bitten and their bellies ripped open by wolves, and the bright red blood dyed the snow red.
The pupils of the Gunhild tribe who were watching on the side had shrunk to the extreme, opened their mouths, but no sound came out of their throats, and their faces were extremely pale.
"You're still pursuing freedom. If you weren't still useful to the Human King, I really want to keep you all here and let you freeze to death!" Ye Jing cursed in his heart, "Long Live the Human King, you need strength and background to get involved. You have nothing, yet you dare to come out. You're so stupid."
The wolves here were feasting on the meal, when a six-meter-tall blue and white giant wolf walked out from the wind and snow.
Looking at the wolf, Ye Jing began to feel panic in his heart: "The Wolf King of the North, the Demon God Andrius."
That’s right, the giant wolf that appeared in front of all humans was the demon god Andrius.
"Human, you are not allowed to light a fire on my territory." The giant wolf Andrius said coldly, his eyes fixed on Gunhild and the tribe leader. "If it happens again, those animals will be your fate."
Although Andrius dislikes humans, he takes in abandoned babies and lets the wolves raise them until they grow up before abandoning them to the city-state. If the two demons had not always been in a hostile relationship, one would have thought that they were in the same group!
The chief of Gunhild had just seen his horse being devoured, and his mind had gone blank. When he heard Andrius' words, he didn't know how to start.
Ye Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Master Demon, if you don't allow us to live, these people will die!"
Hearing this, Andrius stared at Ye Jing. He could feel that the human in front of him and the humans around him were more than a hundred times stronger than all other humans, but in his eyes, they were still nothing. He said coldly, "Go west. There are humans on the snowy mountains over there. It's five days away."
To the west is the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, where Guili’s Thousand Rock Army is stationed.
"Five days' journey? What a joke! If there's no fire, these guys can't hold out for a day!" Ye Jing said angrily in his heart.
After saying this, the demon Andrius took his descendants away from this place, leaving behind only the horse's bones that had been eaten and the tent soaked in blood.
"What should we do?" someone in the crowd asked crying.
"Will we freeze to death outside?"
"I want to go home, I want to return to the city-state."
Seeing the crowd start to riot, the chief of Gunhild couldn't help but curse: "Why are you crying? We voted together to leave that dead city-state. Why are you regretting it now? I tell you, you will die even if you go back. It's better to die outside and be a free man than to die in that dead city-state!"
Ye Jing saw that after the patriarch said this, the emotions of those frightened tribesmen began to calm down and became less afraid.
"Is this the power of faith and pursuit?" Ye Jing muttered to himself.
When he first came here to hide, Ye Jing wrote in a letter to the Human King: "It is freezing cold outside the city. Although there is exploitation inside the city, the people have enough food and drink, so it is difficult to set off a wave of uprising."
The Human King replied: "The city-state of the Lone King in the High Tower is a pool of stagnant water. Dead water is dead and silent. Although life can survive underwater, when the spring breeze blows, some creatures will be unable to bear the dead silence and choose to jump up and head straight for the sky, even if they are willing to die!"
Thinking of this, Ye Jing sighed in his heart: "As expected of you, Long Live the Human King. This can be predicted."
