Chapter Forty-Eight: I'm Watching You
Shi Feng grew up in Icewind Valley. [with _ dream]ā
Perhaps to many, Icewind Dale is not a familiar term, and it is insignificant compared to well-known Jedi, such as the Forest of the Dead, but that doesn't mean that Icewind Dale itself is insignificant.
In a sense, the difficulty of surviving in Icewind Dale is even more brutal.
The horror of the Forest of the Dead lies in the danger, in the fact that countless magical beasts that only appear in legends inhabit the vast forest that shrouds the enchantment, but as long as you can be in a lord's territory with a gentle personality, such as the blazing spirits encountered by Purple Spring and Lan Che.
Although the Blazing Spirit is not a gentle species from a human perspective, the rationality and patience it has shown in its dealings with Purple Spring Lanche, including the trade-off after being wounded, means that it will protect its food to a limited extent under its territory.
Although all species in its territory are its reserve food, there are also advantages and disadvantages of food, such as the food it originally wanted to plunder two of the three maidens as the highest reserve food - food that can talk to it, serve it, and protect its own food in return.
This is the logic of Warcraft.
If a demonic beast that does not belong to its territory intrudes, it does not matter whether it is powerful or not, as long as it does not have the consciousness to become its food, it will hunt the existence in the territory without authorization, then it will be regarded as an invasion.
Even if the food that the other party eats is only some bush berries, for it, these foods will eventually come to its stomach along a chain, so that is also its food.
This is also the logic of Warcraft.
The meaning of the lord in the Forest of the Dead is to have the right to manage all the food in his own territory, which is similar to the human food estate, except that the lord does not collect taxes, it only collects the meat of his own people.
Therefore, as long as you are in a lord's territory with a small amount of food and not indiscriminately killing, then you only need to deal with enemies similar to yourself with peace of mind, and guard against natural enemies that are slightly stronger than yourself.
It sounds like a no-brainer, but you have to understand that there are many fresh flavors like you, but your name is not in the lord's regular recipe.
That's enough.
This is the Forest of the Dead, primitive, cruel, but with a survival philosophy similar to black humor, the strong have the survival of the strong, and the weak have a refuge for the weak to breathe.
But Icewind Dale is different.
It was not originally a place where life should live, and here, the so-called strong had to survive, and the weak did not even have the opportunity to look up to the sky.
In the ice valleys, where temperatures are below minus 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and in the coldest winters, the day is only three hours, and even if you are wrapped in thick fur in a thick mud-brick house, as long as the charcoal fire in your house is extinguished for two hours, you will freeze to death in your sleep.
Here, food, fuel, clothing, and other resources that people are accustomed to are all life-and-death materials, and the most cruel thing is that so many necessary materials end up surrounded by a wooden barrel, as long as there is a wooden board that is so short, from which flows your blood frozen into ice slag.
Shi Feng grew up in this kind of place.
Moreover, he became the lord of Icewind Dale.
Yes, lord.
If it weren't for the lord, Ye Qing couldn't think of any other reason why Shi Feng would have the opportunity to learn this powerful language.
Because—the being who mastered the language of the ancient beast, whether it was some kind of terrible beast, or a human powerhouse who was struggling to survive, would not be so interested in an ordinary boy, only if he proved his worth, and needed to use this tool, would there be a peer existence to communicate with him and teach him the language.
That's the best thing about the ancient beast language - you don't necessarily speak, but you can understand it, so if someone really wants to teach you, as long as you have the ability, it's not so difficult to learn.
Therefore, Shi Feng could only become the strongest existence in Icewind Dale, that is, a lord in the conventional sense, that is, when he had the opportunity to communicate with powerful demonic beasts outside Icewind Dale, and obtain this language.
With the ancient beast language, you can contact the monsters of the same level or slightly higher than yourself externally to avoid unnecessary conflicts, and internally, you can control the demonic beasts in the territory, and within the limits of instinct, command them to attack or avoid a certain area.
It's just that Ye Qing couldn't imagine how Shi Feng became the Lord of Ice Wind Valley, although Shi Feng is indeed very strong now, and he is constantly showing stronger abilities, but there is still an insurmountable distance from the Lord of the Heavenly Realm.
This is the customary rule of Warcraft - the Heavenly Realm may not be the Lord, but the Lord is definitely the Heavenly Realm.
But a well-known fact is that Shi Feng, who passed the three tests of Lan Ye, was then defeated by Ao Xuehua in three moves under the rules of the same level battle.
Even Ye Qing knew that it was not Shi Feng who was weak, but that the arrogant president was too strong.
However, if Shi Feng really had the power comparable to the Heavenly Realm before he came to Ye Ye, then even if he couldn't defeat Ao Xuehua, he would never be defeated so easily.
Even though Ye Qing didn't personally come to observe the duel, judging from the description of Hou Qixia, Shi Feng was indeed showing the peak ability of his level, and he didn't have the comprehension of the rules of the Heavenly Realm.
This is fundamentally different from the fifteenth-level Princess Xingxi, who swept the entire realm.
But now, Shi Feng's spiritual seed triggered the Snow Field Killing Machine, but it was obvious that there was a shadow of the Heaven Realm Realm, even if it was only a prototype, it was still terrifying to the extreme.
After Shi Feng said that ancient beast language in a low voice, the originally smooth and white snow began to slowly bulge one by one, although more of the same kind were killed in the cold snow with a bang, but there were still silver-white snow wolves digging out from under the snow, and then shaking off the thick snow, naturally scattering the three people in the snow field.
Even if they hadn't made any further movements, Ye Qing could still feel the oppressive force surging like a tide on their bodies.
As Sanssouci said.
Someone was watching their movements, all the time they were watching from the moment they entered the snowfield.
Under this gaze, they encountered very few demonic beasts along the way, until they reached their final destination, discovered the protective barrier of Tianlan City, and guessed the object that Tianlan City was guarding against, and then woke up the snow wolf that had almost lost signs of life sleeping in the snow like a game.
It's not about the siege, it's not about the sneak attack.
Ye Qing himself knew that these snow wolves couldn't bother his side at all.
The other party must also be clear.
The man's only purpose seemed to be to tell them this simple sentence.
"I'm watching you."
