Dozens of meters away, Li Qing finally understood why those people of the Frost Tribe were wandering around like zombies while his eyesight improved—because they could no longer be called human at the moment.
Although they are still wearing human clothes and looking like people, their faces have turned into frost, and if you look closely, you can tell that their skin has turned into a lattice of ice crystals, and their eyes have lost their pupils, and they have become like a condensed glass ball--in short, these wandering tribesmen have completely crystallized into ice, and they have completely lost the qiē that humans should have.
"Boss, what's going on over there?" Fifty or sixty meters away, in the frozen snow valley, what the human eye can see clearly is limited, seeing the red silk in Li Qing's eyes, Zhang Qinliang knew that he had turned on perceptual observation, and immediately asked the question in his heart.
"Those people are all dead, they should have been transformed by magic or sacrificed, and they were all turned into ice cube people." Li Qing replied and said, "I don't know if there is any danger, let's go back and report the situation first, in case there is danger, the three of us will definitely not survive." ”
"Okay." After Zhang Qinliang and Ding Kun nodded together, the three of them were about to go back to report, but at the same moment, a light suddenly came down from the sky, and the location where the light shone was exactly the location of the frost guard tribe within the sight of the three of them.
There was a "squeak" sound like the friction of ice cubes in his mouth, and the man charged over without fear of death.
"Withdraw" Li Qing immediately pulled out his legs and ran, he glanced back during the run, and after the light was as far as the light could reach, those people finally had pupils in their glass-spherical eyes, and the pupils were a strange symbol, flashing with a white light.
The three of them faced the charge of 2,000 people over there, and they ran into their camp without looking back, and the other side of the camp saw the changes over there, and they were already ready for battle, and before those wanderers caught up, it was the first round of bow and arrow shooting, and the vanguard was Sejuani's, so those tribesmen were very strong in combat.
They were strong, and the bows they used were all hard bows, the strings were animal tendons, and they were wrapped in a kind of hardwood with a thick oilcloth soaked in grease, so that the arrows could shoot freely in such cold places without fear of being broken.
The hard bow is very powerful, it can shoot tens of meters away, and the first round of shooting is a rain of arrows on a flat day, shooting diagonally upward, and then using the force of the arrow to fall to kill and injure the enemy - the same as the ancient Chinese way of fighting.
But after a round of shooting, those sharp arrows shot into the bodies of these running men, causing no harm at all, Li Qing looked back, and could even see that some icemen were shot through the head by bows and arrows, still charging casually, the only few examples of death were carried down by the force of the bow and arrows, and then the body was crushed by the swarming companions.
These were the only examples of death seen in the charging Iceman.
"Bows and arrows are not good, these people are not living people" Seeing this situation, Li Qing hurriedly shouted at Sejuani: "Those are all people who have been spelled, all of them are ice cube-like bodies, it is better to use heavy weapons."
"Ice-cube people?" After listening to Li Qing's words, Sejuani didn't speak, but Yorick next to her said first: "The Frost Witch really turned their entire tribe into frost bodies, these people should be the product of the failed sacrifice."
"How can I deal with this kind of person?" Sejuani asked immediately when she saw that Yorick understood.
"Smash the body, don't use the sword, the effect is not very great, use a hammer or shield to break them, the sharp weapon will only get stuck in the ice, and it is easy to break the edge."
"Stop shooting." After listening to Yorick's words, Sejuani commanded the army: "Stop shooting and meet the enemy with heavy weapons such as shields or hammers." ”
Sejuani gave the order on one side, and Yorick on the other side had his army strike in full range. Since he had already reached his destination, Yorick no longer saved his troops, and under the active response, the combat power of the high-level undead was immediately highlighted.
The valley is narrow, and the army of 200,000 people can only meet the enemy with a few thousand at the front, so for a while, the front cannot wave the advantage of numbers, and the fight is very anxious, those icemen are not afraid of death, not to mention the hard body, and the strength is much stronger than ordinary people, and they can continue to fight if they cut off their heads, and the most terrible thing is that they can still explode when they are about to die.
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have the wisdom to choose a crowded place to blow up, the lethality would have been doubled.
More than 2,000 icemen, against the elite army and high-level undead of Shang Sejuani, did not distinguish the winner for a while, and for the opponent's large-scale battle without a leader, personal strength, especially the strength of Li Qing's level, was completely unable to control the situation of the battle, so he did not charge except for hiding next to him and releasing cold arrows.
On the contrary, the snowman and the bear man are more effective in this battle, the bear man is huge, and under the strong strength, a few slaps can shoot a solid iceman into several sections, and the snowman even uses their magic energy to condense ice balls one by one, blasting those icemen into pieces.
The battle was difficult, but with the advantage of numbers, the crowd won without any danger, and then the army marched into the clearing, into the territory of the Frost Guardian Tribe.
"The Frost Witch isn't here, and neither are the other tribesmen." After entering the tribe of the Frost Witch, everyone cleared the battlefield, and nothing else appeared, and there were no living creatures in this empty tribe except for the more than 2,000 ice men.
"These two thousand people should have been left here by the Frost Witch." Seeing this situation, Li Qing whispered to Darius next to him to analyze the situation: "The valley paths here are intricate, I'm afraid there are hundreds of large and small passages, and someone as cunning as the Frost Witch will definitely use everything they can use, and they will not fight us head-on in exchange for the time for the watcher to be resurrected." These two thousand people are supposed to be the product of a failed sacrifice, and they have lost their sanity and are used here as cannon fodder. If we continue to pursue, it will definitely be difficult, and we don't know where the opponent is hiding, so we will search for the team. ”
"Are you sure the Frost Witch and the Overseers are still in this valley?" Darius asked.
"That's right, the Frost Witch has been guarding this place for hundreds of years and hasn't changed the tribal camp, so the burial place of the Frost Watcher should not be far from here, I don't know where it is, but it must be within tens of kilometers, you can ask Ash and Sejuani specifically, they have seen more things, and maybe they know some clues
After Li Qing said this, Darius nodded and left, and then he went to talk to Sejuani next to the team, and then told Li Qing that they only saw the appearance of the Frost Watcher's burial place, but they didn't know where the entrance was.
"Looks like the only way to find the Frost Guard's army is to do that." Li Qing and the others reached a consensus.
The valley of the Frost Guard Tribe is long and has many roads. After deciding on the search strategy, everyone divided the team into more than a dozen, and formulated a strict search route and echo strategy, if one side shows the enemy or is ambushed, immediately send out a signal, the other teams get the signal after the chain response, the army can gather in the shortest possible time, and then wave the advantage of numbers to win the battle.
The signal is fired by the team's magician, and each team is divided into a maximum of tens of thousands of people and a minimum of a few hundred people according to the difference in combat power and the width of Taniguchi.
The widest roads in the valley are led by 10,000 people with low individual combat effectiveness but large numbers. These teams are generally composed of the people of the Ash tribe, and as for the team with the smallest number of only a few hundred people, it is naturally composed of those heroes from the Noxus camp.
With a few heroes with high combat effectiveness, plus the trialists, and the most elite part of the undead army, this team is no less effective than those 10,000 people.
"Our search mission is to look at the narrowest valley roads, even halfway up the mountainside, as long as there are suspicious parts." It was Yorick who spoke, he was strong and had military power, although most of the people present were Noxian heroes, but the truth that power came from the barrel of a gun was universal, so he was the leader of this team.
"Understood." There were all smart people present, and after everyone answered casually, the team went out - the place where they started was a narrow mountain road.
This mountain road is only three or four meters wide, and the army cannot enter at all, and if you go side by side, it means that three people are at most in a horizontal row - after all, everyone carries weapons, and some even wear armor, which is very inconvenient.
However, Yorick's flesh puppet is still following him, this guy is covered in rotten flesh, and he can change his body slightly under the squirming of his body, and the passage of three or four meters can actually lead to guò, but even so he still walks at the back of the line - after all, with the body of the flesh puppet, if the road is opened, the big ass will be blocked, and the people behind him will not be able to see the bullshit at all.
The team moved forward cautiously, and at first there was no sign of any enemy for a while, until more than an hour later, the gargoyles flying in the sky suddenly chirped and gave a warning signal.
