The secluded mountain range, the extreme west of the ice field, stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, and the highest altitude of this mountain is called "secluded abandoned peak".

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, it was a long coastline with an endless ocean to the east, and its warm waters were rich in marine life, which seemed to be an inexhaustible source that nourished generations of human ancestors. No one knows why the towering mountain range that separates the east and west ends of the mountain is located here, and why the vast ocean has become an extremely frozen glacier......

Shuolin, an oasis at the foot of the Abandoned Mountain, the underground river flowing through the Abandoned Mountains in the west, as if I couldn't bear to continue to see the creatures on the glacier suffer from the cold, and stayed here like a gift, doing my meager strength.

Qinhu Lake, a freshwater lake in the center of the oasis, somehow, does not freeze for many years, resulting in a large green forest derived from it, named "Shuolin".

Shuolin, the land of flowers and fruits every year, is also the only arable place on this ice field, and it is also the endless yearning place for the creatures on the glacier, which should be the peach orchard gifted by the gods, but it has become a place of covetment for the greedy, a place for the strong to fight, and a place of pain for the weak.

For hundreds of years, the creatures on the ice field have endured endless bitter cold, and only those who understand the principle of survival of the fittest are qualified to continue to struggle and live in this icy and snowy world, and the few who have a little strength, or those who are popular, have learned to bully the weak.

Warriors, patriarchs, aliens, and other people who gathered in groups to fight for the only peach orchard on this ice field, skillfully grabbed, grabbed, and did everything they could, even at the expense of waging inter-tribal wars.

After countless killings and challenges, the final king of the ice field was born, he occupied the forest, and the oasis at the foot of the abandoned mountain became his royal garden, where only the rich who were willing to pay taxes and the strong who were driven by it could step into this place and enjoy the blessings of the gods.

The king of the ice field, for the power he fought for, did not let others covet it, and expanded his territory to every corner of the ice field, not only formed a royal army, but also accepted the strong as his royal family to assist him in ruling the entire ice field.

Those with a little strength, begging for the beauty of Shuolin, rushed to join the royal army called "boat slaves", and those who claimed to be extraordinary were even more willing to be driven by it unconditionally in order to share a little bit of the king's power.

At this time, this oasis called "Shuolin", this peach orchard land where the dead souls more than it bears, and a tall statue of the king has been erected on the east side of its lake, enjoying the worship of its people every day, but the king of the extremely expanding ice field is not satisfied with this......

On the shore of Qinhu Lake, an even more majestic royal palace is about to be completed.

In the evening......

A group of exhausted laborers were marching slowly in a long line, returning to their camps, enjoying a very short rest and a pitiful amount of food......

"Hurry up...... Hurry up...... You short, stupid lazy donkeys!" A man who appeared to be an overseer shouted in his broken voice as the whip in his hand was already whipped on the shackled iceman.

The Bingyuan man who was beaten had long since been taken away from the windshield that his people had always had tied to their heads, and his numb little eyes were a little tired, and his gray fur clothes were in tatters, and most of the tears were stained with dried blood. And this whip happened to be drawn on the shoulder where the damage was most severe, so that it was exposed, and a new whiplash wound was filled.

The Ice Man didn't dare to look up at the whipping man, but with a cold "snort" and a slight look of pain on his face, he continued to move forward with the labor in front of him.

"And you...... Hurry up...... Do you want to be smoked too?" the overseer raised his whip in his hand, intimidating the people behind the Ice Plains.

He was also servitude, but the man who was intimidated had obviously been tortured for a longer time, his bare upper body, his ribs were fully exposed, and the two strips of tattered cloth around his waist could barely hold on to his last dignity.

At this moment, a group of six, together with the "boat slaves" in black robes, came from a distance, looking like they had just returned from a long distance, and three of them each carried a sack that seemed to contain a living creature on their shoulders.

After a while, the six people had already approached the overseer who was whipping the laborers, and the leader motioned to the five people beside him to stop, approached the overseer alone, planted the black cloth with his face, and showed a sycophantic face, and then flattered: "Lord Zou, what a good day today, you can come and supervise the work yourself." ”

This overseer surnamed "Zou" is about fifty years old, with brown and black skin, not tall, high cheekbones, two eyes and one high eye, a collapsed nose bridge that seems to be caused by injury, and only a handful of short black and white hair, scattered all over the top of his head, slightly thin but capable. Coupled with the way he wields the whip and the scar caused by the sharp blade on the back of the hand holding the whip, he must be a practitioner.

Supervisor Zou was obviously the boss of the boat slave, or the boss of the boss, and he was a little arrogant and did not look back at the boat slave, but faintly blamed: "It's not because of you!"

"We?" the boat slave's face changed slightly, and he added a little bit of emotion to his sycophancy.

Supervisor Zou vented his anger and whipped at the laborers who were passing in front of him, and then said: "More than a dozen have died this month, and you have not been able to replenish them in time, no, the delay in the construction period has been known to Master Fei, not only severely reprimanded me, but also said that if the delay cannot be made up within the end of the month, I will be exiled." ”

"Exile?" said you?" said the slave's face with a little fear.

Supervisor Zou turned back suddenly, and said even more reproachfully: "What are you pretending to be stupid, is there a second kind of exile in this Shuolin?"

The black-robed ship slave hurriedly defended: "No...... No...... Lord Zou, I don't mean that, I just don't dare to believe it, let's not say that you are so loyal to our king, let's just say that in the past ten years, you have no merit and hard work, right? How can you say that you will be exiled when you are exiled?"

"Alas...... Now it's different from the past, our king is no longer the king of the past, since Lord Fei came to Shuolin, there has been no one else in the king's eyes, as if he has fallen into evil, and all he opens and closes his mouth is: break through life and death, transform into spirit, or something......"

The boat slave heard that Supervisor Zou's words contained the meaning of complaining about the king, and hurriedly approached the other party, and then reminded in a low voice: "Shh...... Lord Zou, you don't want to die! You dare to say such a disrespectful word, if others hear it and spread it to the king, what else will you do?"

Under the reminder of the black-robed ship slave, Supervisor Zou suddenly realized that he was speechless for a while, which might cause a big disaster, and quickly pretended to bow his head and cough at the same time, his eyes glanced around, and when his eyes swept to the five people behind the black-robed ship slave, he deliberately coughed twice.

The black-robed boat slave saw the other party's concerns, and hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, they are all my good brothers from birth to death, and they will definitely not betray you and me." ”

Although Supervisor Zou's concerns were not completely eliminated, the boat slave spoke so pertinently that it was difficult to say anything more, and then pretended to be close to the black-robed boat slave, but still complained, and said, "This time I didn't go home empty-handed, right?"

The boat slave heard what the other party meant, and hurriedly turned around and motioned to the five people behind him, untied the sack, and then said bitterly: "Don't mention it, since our king planned to expand the palace, the number of laborers required to be conscripted has more than tripled, and the king ordered that the people who submit to the tribe cannot be caught, so you say, how can there be a tribe nearby that is not soft, and even if there is, it has long been wiped out by our king with a large army, so ......"

"So what?" Supervisor Zou asked knowingly when he saw that there were three ice plains released from the sack.

"So we can only run to the more bitter cold land of the extreme east, who would have thought that those large and small tribes that the east land does not want to submit, in order to avoid those nocturnal livestock, one by one have migrated to the north, and the current east land can be said to be deserted......

Supervisor Zou interrupted: "Okay, okay, I talked for a long time, isn't it just to give you more than a month to go out, and only catch three dwarves and find a reason?"

The black-robed boat slave hurriedly defended again: "Lord Zou, don't you know, those stupid dwarfs who live alone almost never intersect with other tribes, and they are all scattered in the extreme east in small villages, fragments, this is not only, I don't know what to do, not only can I domesticate ice mice, but also know how to hide in the ice to avoid trouble, those ice rats are okay to say, they can chase after them, but once they hide in the ice, they don't leave any traces, and they can't find ...... at all."

"Something's wrong, there's an accident, go take a look......" Suddenly there was a shout from a Shuolin guard in the distance......
