In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

Cheng Xiao's body exploded, and the way he was reborn was to use the largest piece of flesh among the fragments as the "base point" to restore himself. It was unknown how far the explosion had blown the fragments of his body.

It even exploded under the snow again.

He could suddenly emerge from anywhere and drag another Drakron under the snow to die together with him...

Captain Drakron looked at the vast expanse of white, and a ripple of fear appeared in his heart, which was as cold and hard as ice.

Boom——!

There was another loud noise not far away.

"Ah! Legs...my legs!!"

"Captain...Captain...save me..."

"Damn it, let me go! Let me go--"

Boom——!

Explosions and wails echoed one after another. Captain Drakron's heart was gradually wavering, and he even broke out in a sweat in this extremely cold place with temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero.

He couldn't catch or see the terrifying cultist... He looked up at the hillside and saw the Avarosan girl looking at him teasingly...

He seemed to hear her laughter and the cultist's whispers...

That's the devil's whisper...

The devil from purgatory...

grunt.

Captain Drakron swallowed his saliva and couldn't hold the bone staff in his hand tightly no matter what.

That damned cultist couldn't defeat them, but if he kept hiding underground and defeated them one by one...

He must have listened to the devil's advice... The devil taught him to use such a despicable and evil method to defeat the god's devout believers...

No... I can't go on like this...

This isn't running away... This is...

only……

Yes……

"retreat……!"

Captain Drakron screamed and started running, but his direction was obviously not to chase the enemy.

Seeing this, the other Drakrons instantly gave up their determination to persevere and followed the captain to escape.

Twenty Drakronds—a powerful force enough to overwhelm all the tribes of the Freljord—had escaped.

They were beaten by the two young men and fled in panic.

This is destined to be a wonderful story that will be told by all Freljord people.

This story is destined to be engraved on the Frost Castle's Pillar of Shame...

"Hey, hey, hey..."

The weapons of the Drakrons are very powerful and therefore very heavy.

It's okay to use it to chop people, but it's a bit tiring to use it to dig snow.

Ashe was holding a battle axe and digging non-stop at the place where Cheng Xiao's voice came from. She was already sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao stretched out a finger in the snow before her hand became numb.

“Mmm…Mmm…Mmm…!”

"Okay, okay, I found you."

Ashe dropped her battle axe, dug her hands into the snow, and finally grasped the frozen hand.

Then, pull it out with force.

"Huh... I'm finally out..." Cheng Xiao, whose whole body was frozen purple, lay on the ground and recovered quickly.

Fortunately, his skin and flesh grew back during the time he was buried, otherwise Ashe would have been scared - the terrifying look of his facial muscles exposed directly to the air was just like a thousand-year-old corpse in a zombie movie.

"I think I can be a member of a search and rescue team in the future..." Ashe was also lying on the snow tiredly, but she seemed to be in a good mood.

She just defeated the Frost Witch's lackeys!

Together with Cheng Xiao, we defeated a large group!

Although her strength is not as strong as theirs, her wisdom is her most powerful weapon!

"Or a gravedigger." Cheng Xiao joked.

"Then I will just dig your grave." Ashe laughed.

"That's fine. But maybe we won't have that much time to rest anyway."

"Eh?"

Under the girl's puzzled gaze, Cheng Xiao stood up, and the wounds on his body had basically healed - as for his clothes, they were just a few pieces of rags he had casually stripped off from Drakron.

"They've found a way to deal with me. I was able to escape this time thanks to some luck... We must quickly find Avarosa's legacy. Only you can defeat them."

"Hmm..." Ashe nodded slightly, suddenly remembering that she seemed to have seen the other party in the battle just now...

An explosion...? She wasn't sure if she saw it right. After all, it was too unbelievable...

"Let's go." Without waiting for the girl to think about it, Cheng Xiao had already extended her hand.

Ash stood up with the help of that hand.

But soon, the expectation in her eyes was overshadowed by a layer of worry.

"Our bags were buried by an avalanche during the battle just now... Several people were chasing me at the time, and I had to leave the bags behind to run faster. As a result... I'm sorry."

Without extra clothes, the Ice Bloodline could still endure the extreme cold, but if there was no food...

Not to mention the Iceborn, even if a Savage Demigod came, he would starve to death.

"How about I go find something to eat first?" Ashe said, "I know a tribe not too far from here. Four days should be enough for a round trip. We can borrow some food from them. I think they won't refuse for Mother's sake."

"Four days..." Cheng Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It's too late. The Frost Witch will never give us that much time."

“But we have no food…”

"Who said that?"

"Eh?"

Ai Xi blinked in confusion, but saw Cheng Xiao smiling and patting the shoulder bag at her waist.

That was the bag he looted from Drakron.

It's bulging inside.

"There's no way they can be sure of finding us right away before they set out, so they'll naturally have to bring some food with them."

Cheng Xiao took out a piece of dried meat from inside, and the tempting aroma gave Ai Xi hope again in an instant.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem!" Ashe was pleasantly surprised to hold Cheng Xiao's hand, but soon felt something was wrong and quickly let go of it embarrassedly. "Sorry, I'm a little... ahem, anyway, we can move on!"

"Yes." Cheng Xiao smiled back and set off on the journey again with the girl.

The wind and snow still didn't stop, but Ashe felt very relieved.

She quietly turned her head in the wind and snow and took a peek at the fair face.

Beautiful, brave, and powerful enough...

very nice……

The corners of Ashe's mouth curved up unconsciously, and no matter how strong the wind and snow were, she could still feel the warmth in her heart.

What she didn't notice was...

Cheng Xiao's eyes were not so cheerful anymore.

One of his hands was always in his bag.

The smile on the face is actually more out of helplessness.

How could that little bit of food possibly fill up the entire bag...

Chapter 17: Miss Ash is about to drop her little pearl

Cheng Xiao and Ai Xi set out on their journey again.

Avarosa was once one of the greatest "three sisters" in Freljord. She treated everyone equally, protected the weak, and led all the sufferers to bravely stand up against the rule of the barbaric demigod.

She is the strongest warrior and the best leader, and she has ushered in a new era for the vast frozen land of Freljord.

Her life is simply a legend.

But her loneliness... was so silent.

No one knew how she died, and no one knew what she had experienced... Everything, including the ancient books that recorded the three sisters, were deliberately destroyed and buried.

Legend has it that whoever obtains Avarosa's legacy can restore the glory of the three sisters tens of millions of years ago.

As long as they have her approval, there is hope for the Freljord.

The legend of the three sisters will surely continue in the new era.

"call……"

Ash blew out a breath of hot air, but her frozen hands showed no improvement.

Her gloves had long been worn out from the long climb, the exposed flesh was red, and her ten fingers were almost numb.

Fortunately, she has the Hanmang bloodline and will not be infected with colds and frostbite, nor does she need to worry that these insignificant wounds will require amputation to save her life.

"Hold on a little longer."

A hand reached out from above, and Ash grasped it after a moment's hesitation.

Cheng Xiao's hands were also frozen, not much better than hers, but she could still feel a hint of warmth from them.

"This road is really difficult to walk on, isn't it?" Ashe climbed up a cliff with difficulty and helped Cheng Xiao blow a breath of warm air - although it didn't help. "Avarosa's heritage... She hid it so deeply that I even doubt it's true."

"Many are skeptical, and even more are discouraged by the difficult road ahead." Cheng Xiao squeezed the girl's hand, but could no longer feel the tenderness expected of a woman her age. "That's why Avarosa's legacy remains. It waits for someone worthy to claim it."

"Will I be that person?" Ashe was not confident at all.

"It can only be yours." Cheng Xiao was full of confidence in her.

The two smiled at each other and continued to climb up with difficulty.

They dared not delay even a little.

This has been going on since a few days ago.

Because the pursuers behind them never disappeared.

Cheng Xiao took a moment to look down. The rugged mountain road was already filled with the Frost Witch's men. They came with great force and were well prepared. Not to mention the worries about food, they could even rely on various mounts to advance day and night.

If I hadn't set out with Ashe a few days in advance, I would never have been able to outrun them.

The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter.

But fortunately, the highest mountain is also within sight...

A glacier enveloped by the aurora.

Hidden within is the legacy of Avarosa.

"Hold on a little longer, the finish line is in sight... Come on up."

Ashe's strength was running out and her speed was getting slower and slower, so Cheng Xiao simply carried her on his back.

"Eh? Don't..." Ashe was startled and did not agree with this method - this would undoubtedly cause Cheng Xiao to lose his physical strength quickly.

"It's okay. My body can heal quickly, so there's no need to worry about my physical strength."
