Lanshan Snow

The wolf's blood flowed down the cheek, and it was frozen into ice before half of it dripped down.The sound of wind and snow, the sound of beasts galloping were all eliminated, Qiu Bodeng had no time to think about the identities of these people who suddenly appeared, so he could only stare at the deer bone mask from afar - the other party's bow, facing him, Did not move.

The man stood against the light and was wearing a mask. He couldn't see his face clearly, let alone his expression. He could only feel his gaze.

A very sharp look.

very dangerous.

It seems to be an eagle on the snow mountain guarding the holy land, looking down on the trespasser from a high position.

The next moment, the wrench reflected light in the darkness.

A flash.

Qiu Bodeng's heart skipped a beat, he suppressed the instinctive reaction of closing his eyes, and stared at the sharp arrow that pierced through the air without blinking.The speed of the arrow was so fast that it didn't even leave a trail in the air, only pieces of shattered snowflakes exploded into tiny round white circles.

The strong wind brushed past.

Loudly!

A series of clear sounds like the collision of iron and stone.

Ten black-feathered arrows were nailed into the frozen ground in no particular order.The arrows were staggered by a certain distance, just forming a circle, enclosing him in the middle.

——The other party didn't want to kill him.

After realizing this, the disappearing voices from the outside swarmed in, it was the overwhelming sound of trampling.

The hoofs of thousands of antelopes and reindeer knocked on the frozen hard soil, making a loud "thump, boom, boom," and poured back into the valley like a tide.It was like a chaotic and terrifying heavy cavalry charging, and a dark brown scar was dug by them on the snow in the canyon.

The dull rumbling sound echoed in the valley.

The herd of sheep and deer rushed towards the place where Qiu Bodeng was.

Tens of thousands of crazy antelopes and reindeer charged together, and even the giant wolves of the extreme plains had to temporarily avoid the front. Ordinary people would only end up being trampled into blood mud if they bumped into each other head-on.

And Qiu Bodeng is located in the middle of the canyon.

At the time of life and death, the breath of animals and the smelly blood of giant wolves were mixed together, Qiu Bodeng was so dizzy from choking that he couldn't even think of running for his life, and he just retched on the spot, wishing to tear his internal organs together Spit it out.

Almost at the next moment, the antelope and reindeer had already rushed forward, and the rushing snowstorm hit Qiu Bodeng's face, freezing him awake from his nausea.At this time, it was too late to run, so I could only stand there and watch the flock of sheep and deer crashing towards me, but a miracle happened——

The first antelope swerved to the left in front of him and swerved around.

The second head, the third head...

The riotous herd of antelope and reindeer, like a raging tide separated by a river weir, spontaneously avoided the Qiu Bodeng in the center of the canyon.

It was as if the place he was in was a forbidden place more terrifying than wolves and snowstorms.

After a brief shock, Qiu Bodeng understood what made them so afraid:

arrow!

These black-feathered wooden arrows stuck beside him.

Whichever area they circle, which area is a forbidden area that cannot be trespassed.

For some reason, Qiu Bodeng always felt that he had heard similar things.

As he was thinking, he subconsciously looked in the direction just now, and the man wearing the silver-plated deer bone mask was no longer at the top of the valley.

I saw that he, the archer, and all the drum-beating warriors were walking down the steep canyon wall.As an archer shot a rocket towards a certain place in the valley, there was only a loud bang, and five or six huge rocks rolled down from both ends, completely blocking all the exits of the canyon.

—— Dongmu.

Qiu Bodeng suddenly woke up.

This is the rumored winter herd of the Thule tribe.

"Si Fang Zhi" records that there is a mysterious tribe living in the extreme plains where there is no summer and no winter.

Rumor has it that they consider themselves the guardians of the snow field.They regard Glacier as their father and Snow Valley as their mother.They go hunting in the most violent time of the year, because the strong wind will drive the scattered cattle, sheep, deer and horses together for them.

"...the great god of the snowfield, Thule, protects the people of the snowfield with her divine power." Qiu Bodeng watched as the archers and drum-beating warriors in thick leather drove the antelope and reindeer rhythmically, and muttered to himself. language.

The records about the Thule tribe have always been considered nonsense by the scholars in the Central Continent.

Xizhou Jiyuan is recognized as "the most fierce place in the world". It lacks spiritual energy, never winters and summers, and all kinds of ancient wild animal remnants frequently appear.Ordinary monks entered the snow field, and their cultivation would be suppressed by seven or eight layers.The conditions were so bad that even Da Neng was dying.

Under normal circumstances, if there is any evil leader in the rivers and lakes who can't be killed after being beaten, the family of Xianmen will unite and exile him here.

Therefore, Xizhou Jiyuan has another name, called "Prisoner of Desolation and Cold".

How could a tribe survive in such a place?

How could any tribe be able to use the wind as a whip to graze the extreme plains in a snowstorm?

however……

Facts have proved that "Si Fang Zhi" is true.

The archers kept pulling their bows and strings, making clanking sounds, which seemed to follow some magical melody.The restless antelope and reindeer gradually calmed down from their rage and stopped rushing forward.The warrior beating the drum walked to the scattered corpses of giant wolves, and skillfully cut and peeled the wolves' skins with a special machete.

The deer bone masks on these people's faces vary.

It seems that there are grades based on the beauty of the antlers and the whiteness of the deer bones.

As for the silver-plated deerbone mask, there is only one side.

Qiu Bodeng shifted his gaze to the young man not far away.

Still holding the bow, he stood outside the herd of antelope and reindeer, leaning against the rock with his head slightly lowered. He did not participate in the finishing activities of the winter grazing, nor did he wear the decoration made of animal teeth like others.The only silver-plated antler mask covered most of his face, revealing a pale and thin jawline.

As soon as Qiu Bodeng looked over, he was spotted.

The young man glanced over lightly.

Qiu Bodeng stood on the spot and looked at him. When he got closer, he realized that the man's eyes were very light, silver-gray, with the texture of a cold weapon in the dark.

...the tribal leader?wizard?

Or the unity of shamanism and government?

Before Qiu Bodeng came to a conclusion, the young man got up and walked towards him.

The others had almost gathered the herd of antelope and reindeer, and they were gradually gathering towards their leader.Seeing this scene, these Tule people, who were half taller than the people in the Central Plains, shouted in their own language.

Qiu Bodeng can understand the general idea.

His face turned black immediately.

He remembered why he had a little impression of "drawing a circle with an arrow".

"Si Fang Zhi" records such a thing:

The warriors of the Thule tribe like to show their strength and strength in various ways.In the grand hunting ceremony, the samurai who thinks he is the strongest will circle the area with the most prey with arrows.If others want to get the prey in the circle, they must be able to challenge him.That circle is seen as the circle of battle thrown by Thule to the earth.

All the creatures in the circle are regarded as what the god of the snow field bestowed on the winner——

loot.
