The Glory of Noxus

Freljord.

The fierce storm raged, and the biting cold current kept whipping the boundless frozen land of the north.

From a distance, the earth was silvery white, and the snowflakes were like catkins and cotton, falling from the dim sky, melting the sky and the earth into a white whole.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the snowy and steep mountain road, Huo Jixing panted and raised his head from the gray fur cloak. His handsome face had long been frozen, and his eyebrows and nose were covered with ice chips.

The wind and snow in front of him were too strong, intertwined and entangled into a messy oil painting, reflected in the pupils.

At the same time, the ice and snow piled on his body pressed down on his bag, which was a bit heavy, making him more and more powerless and breathless.

But Eric, who was at the front of the team, kept his pace, and he could only choose to move forward silently.

As time went by, the wind and snow seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and began to compress everyone's vision. Nothing could be seen four or five meters away, leaving only a silver-white area, filling the sky and the earth.

However, Eric seemed to have not been affected and was still on the right path, but how he could tell the right direction was a skill that Huo Jixing could not understand.

Or see the situation in the team.

Eric turned his head and wiped off the ice debris on his face. His brown eyes looked around at the people behind him, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and rest in front."

"Yes!"

The silent team burst into a uniform call. Every Noxus scout suppressed the fatigue in his heart, maintained the formation, and continued to move forward against the wind and snow.

The snowflakes fell and swayed all over the ground.

After walking four or five miles, a low hill covered with ice and snow came into view.

The hill was not high, about a hundred meters, which was very common in the long Iron Thorn Mountains, but it had a leeward area, and bare rocks could be seen faintly.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed Eric's steps, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and quickly stepped into the foot of the hill.

The solid rocks were rough and cold, and after being polished by ice and snow, they were covered with a layer of smooth and clean ice.

In the slightly concave mountain, you can barely stop, cover the scattered wind and snow, and resist the raging cold wind.

Wow!

Huo Jixing took off the gray fur cloak, shook it gently, and snowflakes fell and covered the ground.

Then he turned the fur cloak over, smoothed it on the ground, leaned against the mountain wall, and sat on the cloak.

Huo Jixing hates the cold!

Hate winter.

It brings not only endless torture to the body and mind, but also a cruel test of will.

"Huh!" Huo Jixing stopped complaining in his heart, took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, rubbed them slowly, and a subtle warmth appeared in his palms.

He looked down at the grooves that looked like old pine bark, which were full of solidified ice slag. He understood more and more that his predecessor hated and feared Freljord.

And this was just the beginning of the scout mission.

Huo Jixing licked his cracked lips, took out a water bag from his waist, and poured cold water mixed with ice slag into his mouth.

In an instant, the biting cold permeated his soul, drove away the fatigue of his body, and made him refreshed.

Unbuttoning the bag, Huo Jixing took out the hard dry food from it, ground it with his teeth, swallowed it into his stomach in small bites, and absorbed as much nutrition as possible from the dry food.

The dry food was rough and hard, and looked like bread mixed with some vegetables and dried meat solidified together.

The taste was very ordinary, but it could effectively replenish the consumed physical strength.

Huo Jixing observed the surrounding environment while eating.

Counting the time, this is the fourth day since he entered Freljord. Except for the Noxian scout team, no one can be seen along the way, as if entering a cold and silent place.

However, the Noxian scouts still move forward cautiously and will deal with all the remaining traces along the way in time.

The rest time is very short, and Noxian scouts get up one after another.

Huo Jixing swallowed the last bite of dry food, picked up the cloak, put it on again, and looked at the ice and snow world in front of him.

The cold wind is still there, and the snow falls all over the mountains and plains, covering the Iron Thorn Mountains.

Although it has entered the Freljord area, the long Iron Thorn Mountains cross the Noxian border and go deep into this northern frozen land.

In the field of vision, one snow-capped mountain after another, one next to another, like a dragon's spine, extending into the distance, majestic and magnificent.

This was a magnificent scene that I had never seen in my previous life, but now I have gotten used to it.

Just as everyone was about to leave, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly broke the calm under the ice and snow.

Huo Jixing turned his head and saw Mur rushing in the thick snow, with an excited smile on his weathered face.

Mur, a member of the Noxus scout team, was calm and friendly.

The biting cold wind wrapped his sturdy figure and poured into the concave hill.

"Ten-man captain!" Mur walked past everyone and came to Eric, panting and saying, "I found something good!"

Hearing this, Eric, who was leaning against the mountain wall, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the excited Mur in front of him, and looked up at the snowy sky, thinking in his heart.

He knew Mur's character and would not do anything without a purpose. Since it was a good thing, it was probably about the same.

"Let's go and take a look!" Eric looked around at everyone and spoke in a serious voice.

The scattered footsteps were left on the white snow, following the traces left by Mur, extending straight to the other side of the hill.

The snow covered the ground, and the scattered cedars were like dark green dyes, dotted on the white snow.

Huo Jixing was still at the back of the team, and his eyes were vigilantly scanning the surrounding environment.

Not far in front of him, Eric and Moore were half-crouching, looking at the traces left on the snow, and talking softly.

"Is it some kind of animal footprint?" Huo Jixing saw the traces left on the snow from the corner of his eyes, and thought to himself: "But the footprints are too big?"

The snowflakes danced wildly, seemingly non-stop, rendering and eroding the world.

During the time when Moore came and went, the snow still did not cover the traces of the footprints, which shows the size of the animal that left the footprints.

Huo Jixing searched for all the animal impressions in his memory. Compared with the footprints he saw in front of him, it seemed that only giant animals such as elephants and rhinos could vaguely match.

"It's a snow boar!"

At some point, Dewitt walked to Huo Jixing's side and spoke in a deep voice.

"Let's get ready to hunt!"

"This guy is a rare good thing in the frozen soil of the north. At least we can stop eating the hard and tasteless rotten dry food."

The Noxian scout team started again, following the remaining traces and going deep into the cedar forest.

On the frozen soil of the north of Freljord, there is almost no other vegetation, only the cedar, which is still tall and straight despite the cold wind and snow.

But after going deep into the cedar forest, Huo Jixing's expression gradually became solemn.

Some rough cedar trunks were broken and fell to the ground, and there were only a few dark green leaves on the branches.

Occasionally, some hideous marks can be seen on the trunks and branches, as if they were bitten hard by some giant animal.

"Hey, Xing, did you hear anything?" Devitt approached, his expression under the cloak was extremely heavy.

"I heard it." Huo Jixing nodded, looking straight ahead.

In the whistling cold wind, some strange and bizarre sounds were mixed in, echoing over the woods.

At the same time, at the front of the scout team, Eric stretched out his palm high and waved forward.

Huo Jixing pulled the gray-white cloak tightly, and together with Devitt, he stepped carefully on the snow, followed the shadow of the cedar, and slowly walked to the side of the team.

Not only the two of them, but also the other Noxian scouts were like gray-white worker ants, with Eric as the center point, fan-shaped, and slowly surrounded the target area.

"What is that!?"

Behind the tall cedar, Huo Jixing's figure seemed to melt into the snow, his eyes fell on the distance, but his expression could not hide the horror.

"This... wild... boar??"
