All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 181 Winter's Claw
For Lux, who was not ignorant of knowledge, she had seen the elite guards in the palace, the elite warriors around her brother, and the guards in the royal capital who were usually lazy and slacking.

But when the large group of tall and strong barbarians in front of her, wearing horned helmets and covered in leather armor made of random animal skins, rushed towards her while shouting, even if she believed that Li Qing beside her could protect her.

But I still couldn't help but get nervous.

One hand quietly grabbed the corner of Li Qing's clothes, and asked nervously:
"Li Qing, they are not coming for us, are they?"

"It's okay, they can't touch you."

Li Qing was also looking at these people rushing towards him and Lux, but compared to Lux who was a little panicked, Li Qing naturally didn't care.

He originally noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people here, like a gathering place, so he flew here with Lux.

What he didn't expect was that he was actually quite lucky and landed directly in Piglet's hometown - the Winter Claw Tribe.

And it seems that the timing of his and Lux's arrival is not very coincidental, as it seems that Pig Girl is about to go out to plunder with her men.

Then I saw the two of them falling from the sky.

The footsteps were getting closer and louder.

It was at this time that Lux was surprised to notice that the barbarian leader riding a huge wild boar in front of everyone was actually a beautiful woman with a stern face.

The rumbling sound of footsteps quickly surrounded Li Qing and Lux.

Although they were all uneducated barbarians, they obviously respected Sejuani very much. No one took the initiative to speak, but slowly made way for Sejuani riding on a wild boar to slowly walk in front of Li Qing.

The blue eyes brought by the Iceborn blood first glanced at Li Qing and Lux's outfits.

Lux's style is okay, although I have never seen it before, but this kind of traveler's clothes are actually weird.

But Li Qing's dress was a little surprising.

You know, even as an Iceborn, she still needs to wrap herself in heavy armor and furs to face the cold wind and snow in the Freljord all year round, otherwise she will not be able to withstand the extremely low temperature for a long time.

But take a look at Li Qing’s outfit.

A knee-length windbreaker, the style is from Earth, because it was originally created in the monster universe.

It is entirely handmade, tailored to the body shape, even a button is carefully considered, and the materials are top-notch.

Li Qing didn't know what it was, but it was very comfortable to wear.

The lining is a pure cotton T-shirt, also custom-made, and the yellow silk thread on the collar is sewn with gold thread.

The pants are a pair of black tight trousers. They look ordinary, but you can tell they are definitely expensive when you touch them.

The shoes were a pair of leather boots. They were very ordinary leather boots, but they were comfortable to wear, so Li Qing rarely changed them.

Although the style of this outfit is not very similar to that of the entire Runeterra, it may only be slightly common in Piltover.

Sejuani had never met Lee Sin and didn't know where he came from.

In fact, according to her habits, these guys who suddenly appeared would basically either join the Winter Claw tribe or become the dead souls under the flail in her hands.

But Li Qing knew at first sight that there were some special circumstances, which made her more patient and asked:
"Who are you?"

"Why are you here??"

A cold voice sounded. Although she seemed to have a good temper, if you looked closely you would find that the woman had actually begun to exert force with her hand holding the weapon.

If Li Qing didn't give her a satisfactory answer, there would be no doubt that the thing that had killed countless enemies would fall on Li Qing's head.

"This?" Li Qing was not afraid, but he did not want to fight with the other party as soon as he arrived here, so he thought for a while and said: "Although you may not believe it, we are really just passing by."

"I found this place to be a gathering place, so I came to take a look."

"So, do you welcome guests here?"

When Sejuani heard what Li Qing said, her eyes slowly shifted from his clothes to Li Qing's face, and then a hint of shock appeared in her eyes.

However, this trace of shock was quickly hidden, and then he said:
"guest?"

"Of course I welcome guests, but the definition of guests is determined by us."

"Give me a reason to treat you as guests, otherwise, we become enemies."

As he said this, he glanced coldly at Lux who was secretly looking at her beside Li Qing. Lux was so scared that she shuddered and quickly hid behind Li Qing.

"Reason?"

Li Qing touched his head helplessly. He had already given the reasons, so what else did he need to say?

But looking at Sejuani's expression, it was obvious that she didn't quite believe him.

Then Li Qing could only look inside his ring, and then he found a barrel of wine.

A cat station from a certain Eastern country in the Monster Universe!

A whole bucket!

"I remember you guys like to drink?"

"This barrel of wine is for you."

The wine barrel fell in front of Li Qing with a bang. Li Qing put one hand on it and opened the lid of the barrel. The smell of wine instantly drifted away with the cold wind.

This immediately made the barbarian warriors who were originally watching the excitement quietly become energetic.

"Hmm? Wine??"

“What kind of wine is this??”

“I haven’t drunk it!!”

“It smells weird, but so good!!”

Especially those people following the direction behind Li Qing had already started to search the air for the smell with their noses lifted.

People living in the polar regions care a lot about alcohol.

This thing can be said to be a hard currency in Freljord that is more useful than gold.

Gold may not be exchanged for food, clothes or weapons here, but if you use wine as an item of exchange, most people will definitely not refuse you at all.

Sejuani's eyelids also twitched.

As the war mother of Winter Claw, she also has ice blood.

She is far superior to ordinary people in both fighting strength and drinking capacity.

But what she usually drinks is just ordinary beer, and maybe some wine occasionally, but it is basically hard to come by, and she, a war mother, has only tasted it a few times.

But when I smelled the wine that the man in front of me took out, I could clearly feel that it was different.

Sejuani had never smelled that kind of rich aroma of alcohol in those inferior beers.

Sejuani felt that if she were asked to buy wine of this quality, she probably wouldn't be able to buy enough equipment for a hundred warriors.

Although she is calm and straightforward, even to the point of being a little cruel.

But facing this rich man who took out a hundred sets of equipment and threw them in her face after a disagreement, Sejuani could no longer hold back her cold expression.

The corners of her mouth curved up in embarrassment, and Sejuani tried her best to maintain her attitude:

“Very good!

"Wine is indeed one of our favorite things." "Although I don't know your origins and purpose, at least you have shown your sincerity."

"So, you are qualified to be my Winter Claw's friend."

"That means you will also become my, Sejuani's, friends."

Li Qing smiled helplessly and patted Lux ​​who was hiding behind him, asking her to show her head.

"Don't hide, it's okay."

"Are you really okay?" Lux carefully stuck her head out and looked ahead.

In front of him, after Sejuani said a few simple polite words, she couldn't wait to get off the pig and walked to the barrel to start checking.

Not caring whether it was dirty or not, he just reached in, dipped a little, and then put it in his mouth.

What can be clearly seen is that the face, which was originally a little hesitant, suddenly became bright as if a flashlight was turned on.

Then, without any hesitation, he closed the lid of the wine barrel.

"Someone, bring this wine back to me!!"

When Sejuani announced that Lee Sin and Lux ​​were not enemies but friends, the barbarians stopped surrounding the two and gathered around Sejuani out of curiosity.

Seeing Sejuani's expression, everyone immediately realized that this was definitely a good wine.

Some people immediately became greedy.

However, at this time, her majesty as a war mother was revealed. Without Sejuani's permission, no one dared to touch the wine barrel. They could only watch as a few happy guys carried the wine barrel into the village.

Sejuani's expression finally relaxed a lot.

She had received news that a certain tribe decided to launch an attack on the Winter Claw, so she took the initiative to eliminate the enemy before they attacked.

What she didn't expect was that when she and her men crossed several mountains and found the group of people who were said to be attacking the Winter Claw tribe, they only saw a mess.

Blood, broken flesh, and desperate faces frozen by ice were all she got.

Not to mention the enemies, not even a piece of fur was left.

All were destroyed by an unknown force.

Of course, Sejuani also knew that there were all kinds of magical creatures on this frozen land, and it was best for her and the Winter Claw not to offend these things.

So she had no choice but to return with her men.

Not only did they fail to defeat the enemy and gain a large amount of supplies as expected, but the consumption of the expedition made the already tight Winter Claw even worse off.

Who could have imagined that they would have to bear such a huge loss.

I actually encountered this good thing right at my doorstep.

Anyway, according to Sejuani's estimation, the value of this barrel of wine could at least be exchanged for a few days' worth of food for everyone in the tribe.

This is a life-saving measure for Winter Claw, which is in a bad situation.

He let his men enter the village happily.

However, Sejuani did not follow him in. Instead, she signaled her subordinates to leave first, and then she came to Li Qing.

After his eyes lingered on Li Qing's face for a moment, he spoke:
"You are my friends now, so please don't hesitate to come to Winter's Claw."

"Come with me. According to the rules of the South, as the host, I should show you around, right?"

Li Qing smiled and nodded:

"Of course that's good."

"I'm really curious."

"Don't you think so, Lux?"

Lux nodded quickly.

Sejuani didn't care about Lux at all. After getting Li Qing's reply, she immediately turned around and started walking into the village.

Her mount, the huge wild boar Bristle, rolled its eyes in a very human way, turned around and walked in another direction.

Lee Sin and Lux ​​followed Sejuani over.

Soon we entered the village.

His eyes began to look inside.

The first impression this tribe gave Li Qing was chaos.

Very messy.

People with different clothes and appearances gathered in every corner.

The blood and the suffocating oppression instantly made people lose all their happiness and joy.

Secondly, it’s wild.

The aggressiveness and wildness deep in the genes of the Freljord people are fully displayed in this tribe.

Temperament and anger could lead to a fight at any time.

Although she was obviously restrained, the feeling of being punched in the flesh and the spurting blood from her nose immediately made Lux's face turn pale.

But for the people in the tribe, this is obviously a daily program.

No one panicked. Instead, some people came over and started cheering for the two fighting parties and making bets.

Obviously, these are the few things that can help people entertain themselves and vent their emotions during tough times.

Sejuani's expression didn't change at all, because she was used to it.

Since she mastered the Winter Claw, people and small tribes living in various parts of Freljord have come to her for refuge because of her ideas and ways of doing things.

As more and more people come, friction will naturally arise.

For Sejuani, the harsh living environment has already exhausted her, so naturally she is not in the mood to care about these trivial matters.

Just give the order and the feud must be resolved on the spot.

So gradually, the Winter Claw formed a rule that only those with the bigger fists have the right to speak.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the policy of inaction.

Originally, the interior of Winter Claw was like a powder keg that could explode at any time, but after a few group fights, the anger gradually subsided.

This incident also taught Sejuani a lesson, that is, some things are better to be unblocked than blocked.

But it was only because Li Qing didn't know this, otherwise he would have laughed at himself in his heart.

Bullshit, it's better to loosen than to block. In fact, it's just because they are too poor. There are no doctors or medicines to treat injuries. After a few fights to vent their anger, those who are prone to trouble are injured.

Then, because of the lack of food, they had to go out to plunder and fight all the time, and that little bit of revenge was gone.

To put it bluntly, people fight because they have nothing better to do.

Once you are hungry, you don’t have the energy to make trouble and just want to eat.
