"Whew, whew, the scenery here is really good, but it's still a little cold!"

Tang Ping stood at the bow of the boat and wrapped himself tightly.

Spring in Northern Europe is like a beautiful oil painting, colorful and full of life.

Although the harsh winter has put the earth to sleep for a long time, the arrival of spring is like the awakening of nature, bringing endless vitality to this cold land.

Tang Ping had been nesting on Waitan Houpu Island for so long, and when he suddenly came out like this, he felt that the whole person was a lot happier.

The place where they now sailed was considered to have entered an inland river from the mouth of the sea.

The river bank here is much higher than the river level, and standing on the bow of the boat is just flush with the river bank, this experience is also the first time in Tangping.

"It's not cold!"

Compared to Tang Ping, who wrapped himself in a dumpling, Thor who was standing at the bow of the boat even opened his shirt, revealing the chest hair on his chest.

"Now the ice has begun to melt, and in the winter, it will be really cold!"

Tang Ping didn't argue with a Norseman about what kind of weather is called cold, he just asked, "Are you sure you have some escaped clansmen here?" ”

This seems to be the kind of place where birds don't poop, and Tang Ping really doubts that someone will choose to survive here.

"Yes, we heard when we were in Syvix that Woolf once brought people here to hunt down my people, but the cold stopped them!"

Thor said with some pride: "Only we Vikings can survive in such a place. ”

As you can see, the more you get around here, the more excited this guy becomes.

Suddenly, there was an oh sound from the pine forest on the shore.

Thor's eyes lit up, he put his hands on the sides of his mouth to make a trumpet, and shouted at the pine forest, "Oh oh! ”

Immediately, there was a response from the pine forest: "Oh, oh! ”

Tang Ping knew that this should be their unique way of contact, and sure enough, several figures soon came out of the pine forest on the shore.

"Who are you?" Seeing that Tang Ping and Alaric were obviously not Vikings, the people on the shore vigilantly raised their bows and arrows and pointed at them.

"I'm Thor of the Harald Clan!" Thor stepped forward and stood in front of Tang Ping: "They are my friends, and they are here to help us!" ”

"Harald tribes? We Vikings don't need friends! A red-bearded, bald head in the lead on the other side said to Thor, but told the others to put their bows and arrows down.

"Don't need friends?" Tang Ping stood up and said, "So you are hiding here by yourself like a turtle hiding in your shell, so that your compatriots will continue to be slaves in Syvix, being oppressed, whipped and even slaughtered at will?" ”

"You!" Although the Vikings on the opposite side were surprised by Tang Ping's fluent Viking language, the content of Tang Ping's words made them all raise their bows and arrows and point at him.

"What? Am I wrong? Tang Ping fearlessly asked, "I can help you defeat Sevix, so I came here thousands of miles away to invite you to defeat your enemies together, but you said you don't need friends!" Looks like I miscalculated the bravery of your Vikings!! ”

The red bearded man looked at Tang Ping, was silent for a long time, and said, "What you said has some truth, but you have to make us believe that you have such strength." ”

"Oh?? How can I get you to believe it? Tang Ping asked.

The red bearded man nodded to the people around him, and then four of them left, and then soon the four of them came carrying the trunk of a large tree.

Judging by the axes in their hands, these people should be cutting down trees here.

With a bang, the trunk was on the shore at one end and pressed against the side of the sailboat on the other, shaking the whole sailboat.

Then a strong Viking jumped on the other side of the tree trunk with an axe, ripped off his shirt, roared twice, and smashed his chest with his other hand.

"It's a tradition here, and if we can beat him here, we'll be eligible to go ashore," Saul said. ”

This is somewhat similar to the scene in the film and television drama Tang Ping watched in which the Vikings built a plank on two ships and then duel. After Saul finished speaking, he was about to walk up to the tree trunk, but was stopped by the red bearded man: "Thor, you can't, you are a Viking, they want to prove themselves." ”

Sol looked at Tang Ping, Tang Ping nodded, and then asked Lao Cui them: "Which of you is on?" ”

"Me!"

"I'm coming, it's been a long time since I've been fighting!"

"Forget it, Lao Cui, you can't do it, let it be given to me!"

Lao Cui Lao Du and Tang Ping's other guards all scrambled, and their own son-in-law had a salted fish, and he fished at the dock every day to catch crabs.

They can only follow on weekdays, and they all feel that their bodies are going to rust.

How could you let go of such a great opportunity now?

"Rock-paper-scissors, fairest!!"

"Okay, come!"

If you can't fight for results, then there are only the old rules, rock-paper-scissors.

The two of them guessed in pairs, and the winning ones continued until the last victor remained.

But their operation made the Vikings on the shore look stupid.

"Thor, what are they doing here? A ritual before the duel? ”

Thor shook his head and said, "They're competing for the right to play!" ”

After staying together for so long, Thor still knows rock-paper-scissors.

It's just that his explanation made the Vikings on the other side a little angry, is this looking down on people?

Shouldn't this duel be about picking out the strongest one??

The other side actually relied on this method to choose a warrior to fight them?

A few rounds later on Tang Ping's side, a guard named Wang Qi won the final victory.

"Xiao Qi, your dog is so lucky!"

"Hahaha, the brothers have conceded."

Wang Qi drew his long knife and jumped on the trunk of the tree.

"Wang Qi, try not to hurt people!" Tang Ping admonished.

He just said as much as possible, after all, he didn't know the strength of the other party, and if the strength was equal, then there was no need to keep his hand where he couldn't keep it.

Of course Wang Qi knew, he nodded without looking back, then looked at the other side and made a gesture to come over.

Although the language is not understood, these gestures can still be understood.

The Vikings rushed over with a roar, and they were familiar with this kind of fighting, so the axe was a sweep.

On such a tree trunk, there is no way to dodge left and right, the only way is to retreat, as long as you can drive the opponent back to the sailboat with a few strokes, you can be considered a winner.

Wang Qi also took a step back as he expected, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Qi was advancing by retreating.

Take a step back, then force your feet, and rush back with one step.

And at this time, he slashed it with an axe, and it was too late to slash it a second time.

Seeing Wang Qi slash down with a knife on the head, he could only use his best strength to stop the inertia of the slash just now, and then held the axe on his head to block.
