In the far north, there is snow all year round.

Heaven and earth are silvery.

The ground is shining with silver light, thousands of miles of ice, and snow-capped mountains are continuous. This place is the border of the former Northern Qiu State, since the Teng State unified the world, after the new emperor ascended the throne, similar to this environment and its harsh area is unmanaged, the people of the world live in the major capitals under the call of the new emperor, only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who have no ability to move have no choice but to stay between the poor mountains and bad waters.

In the ice and snow world, due to the cold temperature, life is relatively scarce, except for a few cold-resistant animals and plants and some ancient native tribes, it is almost impossible to see groups of human beings here.

In fact, in relative detail, this place cannot be regarded as the territory of Beiqiu Kingdom, at most it can be regarded as a border, because this place is connected to the ice field of Wanli and is basically cut off from the outside world.

Even if the Northern Qiu Kingdom was not destroyed, few people came here.

Ice fields, a figurative definition, have an extremely large area.

It spans the northwest, stretches for thousands of miles, and includes countless peaks, canyons, plains, and basins, making it a well-defined and relatively independent world.

On the distant and vast glacier, there is a rare village, the people of the village live by fishing, because they were born in this extremely cold place, and they all have a body constitution to resist the cold.

Originally, there were only a dozen families in this village, but after the end of the war, some deserters fled here, and they were brutal and domineering, and forcibly occupied the place. Because of the severe cold in the polar region, the original dozen or so villagers were forcibly asked to find firewood and fire sources, and what was even more cruel was that several elderly people with limited mobility were directly killed by them.

Under the persecution and supervision of these deserters, the villagers traveled more than 100 miles to the realm of the former Northern Qiu Kingdom.

As the name suggests, this place is located in the far north, with many hills, and it is easy for outsiders to get lost here.

It was a tall mountain range, and several burly men with large knives at their waists commanded a dozen villagers in front of them, ordering them to cut down trees.

"Tell you, we must finish cutting down this forest before dark, and don't let the pursuers outside find us, or we will cut off your heads!"

"Got it. ”

More than a dozen villagers replied weakly, picked up the axes in their hands and cut them down vigorously.

In this group, there were seven deserters and thirteen people from the Icefield Village, adding up to exactly twenty people.

Seven deserters rested against trees not far away, and thirteen villagers gathered in a group, pretending to cut down trees, but they were secretly talking.

"If you want me to say that while there are many of us now, we can hack these deserters to death with an axe, and then everyone will flee outside together, and we can survive anywhere. The youngest of the thirteen villagers, in his early twenties, was an orphan who had been fighting twenty years ago, and who had been entrusting him to an old man who lived in the ice fields by a general.

His name is Yang Yi, and the old man who adopted him died three years ago.

A middle-aged man snorted coldly and said to Yang Yi: "You are alone, but we all still have families, and our family members were taken hostage by them, and we can't ignore them." ”

Yang Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Either I will escape by myself and let me live, I will go outside to find the pursuers who are chasing them, and then come back to save everyone." ”

"That's a good idea, I'm afraid you won't believe it. The middle-aged man groaned, a little worried.

"Drink!" Yang Yi cut down a tree with a loud shout, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the middle-aged man: "Let me escape, at least everyone has a way to live, otherwise it will be dark forever." ”

"Yes. The middle-aged man nodded, and beckoned the people around him to gather together to discuss how to help Yang Yi escape.

The middle-aged man was the eldest of the thirteen villagers, named Banab. Bana is the most popular surname among the native tribes living in the Ice Fields, and the Bana Clan people have a certain prestige in the Ice Plains.

The villagers quickly discussed the plan and dispersed so as not to attract the attention of the seven deserters.

After a while, Yang Yi suddenly held his stomach and screamed, and when he heard Yang Yi's scream, a deserter came over, pointed at him and said, "What's wrong with yelling?"

Yang Yi covered his stomach with both hands, raised his head and said painfully: "It is estimated that it is a bad stomach, and my stomach hurts badly." ”

"That's a lot!" the deserter snorted, pointing to a clearing in the distance, and said, "Go and go back quickly." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Yang Yi grinned and ran over there.

The deserter frowned, glanced back at everyone, and followed Yang Yi as well.

When he came to the open space, Yang Yi put the axe in his hand at his feet, and it was convenient to take off his pants.

The deserter stood beside him, and Yang Yi looked embarrassed and said to him, "If the chief is afraid that I will escape, put away the axe." ”

The deserter snorted lightly and said, "No need, forgive me for not daring to play any tricks." ”

Yang Yi smiled slightly, suddenly picked up the axe and stood up, and cut off the head of the deserter.

The axe was sharp, and with one blow it burst the head of the deserter.

Yang Yi's hands didn't tremble, he lifted his pants and ran south.

At this time, Barnabu suddenly shouted and said, "Oh no, someone has escaped!"

The other six deserters exclaimed in surprise when they heard this, and only then did they see the soldiers killed by Yang Yi in the far clearing. The six of them were furious and immediately chased after Yang Yi.

The villagers sweated in their palms, praying that Yang Yi would be able to avoid the pursuit of the six deserters.

However, things didn't go as expected, the six deserters were also soldiers, and it didn't take long for Yang Yi to be arrested.

Seeing Yang Yi being captured, the villagers' hearts were cold.

The leader of the deserters was a tall and strong man, and the villagers did not know his name, but they all knew that he had a nickname called Thunderstorm.

Because his temper is as hot as thunder.

"You dare to rebel, he is your example!" Thunderstorm roared, lifting the big knife in his hand and slashing at Yang Yi's neck.

Yang Yi's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. The blade flashed and flashed, shining with a sharp edge, and the big knife had already slashed at it in a flash.

Yang Yi closed his eyes, but suddenly heard a scream, and the big knife fell from his eyes.

He looked ahead in surprise and saw a bead glowing red falling from the sky and falling right on Thunderstorm's head.

An inextinguishable flame ignited outside the bead, instantly burning Thunderstorm's head and burning more and more, burning his head off.

Everyone was stunned, Yang Yi seemed to have seen a savior, and ran directly to pick up the bead in excitement, amazingly, he was safe and sound...!
