On the other hand, after confirming that Sejuani was fine, Fane once again put all his enthusiasm into hunting.
Noticing that Faan's target was the Wolf Mother, the other Frostfang Wolves let out nervous growls. But Faan paid no heed. With a slight twitch of his fingers, several red fruits fell from space onto Faan's fingertips. The Sao Bird's hand had endowed Faan with nimble fingers, allowing him to swiftly throw and projectile.
Accompanied by the sound of fruits colliding, fruits that seemed to be only the size of finger joints broke through the air, collided with each other, and flew towards the surrounding wolves.
The wolves paid no attention to the fruits. However, the moment these seemingly ordinary fruits, with their sharp edges, approached them, they suddenly exploded. The hard shells tore apart from the inside, and the compressed gas pushed the shells in one direction, like countless densely packed tiny blades, slicing through flesh with a slight flash, even piercing the eyes!
The Severing Fruit, the core ingredient of the Severing Bullet, is a tree fruit. After being processed, the resulting Severing Bullet can imbue bullets fired from either a light or heavy crossbow with slashing power. However, for Faan, temporarily switching to a light crossbow in the middle of battle would easily disrupt the rhythm of the attack and prevent the item from fully utilizing its advantages. Therefore, Faan simply prepared the Severing Fruit to ensure that it would spray the fruit shell in a single direction upon firing.
Although the power of the Slashing Fruit prepared in this way is far less than that of the Slashing Bomb filled with a large amount of gunpowder, it can unexpectedly cause serious damage to the monster's eyes, mouth and other vulnerable parts in battle.
And more importantly, it will not disrupt Faan's offensive rhythm!
At the moment when the wolves were harassed by the Severing Fruit and were unable to attack Faan, the partially dragonized lower limbs provided Faan with a huge thrust, causing Faan's speed to increase dramatically from the original basis.
The moment he approached, Faan stood firm and twisted his waist, directing all the kinetic energy through his spine to his arms, and with the strengthening of centrifugal force, it was completely attached to the blade.
hum! !
Surrounding the blade, the scorching heat transformed into a rolling wave of flames at the moment of the slash - a huge spin of air blade!
The upward slash created a circular wave of flames around Faan, and with a burst of air blades, the Frostfang Wolf Mother's head was severed. Under the scorching heat, even before the blood spurted out, the mangled section of the body emitted an unpleasant charring smell.
Just at this moment, a cold wind blew, accompanied by condensed frost, and the Frostfang Wolf King appeared behind Fane, with anger in the beast's eyes. Ice condensed all over his body, forming a large number of sharp ice cones around him. Even Fane's body surface was covered with a layer of white frost and snow in an instant, and his strong thighs were frozen directly to the ground by the cold and hard ice, unable to move.
"Just like that?!"
The Ice Resistance Orb activated, and while the ice seemed to solidify on Faan's body, Faan's body temperature remained unchanged. In contrast, the ice that froze his legs was a bit annoying. However, with the burst of dragon blood, his partially dragonized lower limbs broke free from the ice.
The Flying Dragon Blade was two meters long, making it impossible to attack from such close range. However, Fane didn't care. Instead, he held the handle, which was wrapped in animal skin like the Mo Dao, in front of him and clamped it firmly against the Wolf King's mouth.
With a powerful twist, he flung the wolf king to the ground. He raised his sword with both hands, but before he could strike, two more hungry wolves pounced and knocked Faan away.
Sharp teeth tore at Faan's armor, but how could wolf fangs tear through armor made of fire dragon material? Wearing two ice-resistant beads, the Freljord's astonishingly low temperatures, which catalyzed the steel, didn't even affect the armor!
A powerful elbow strike, combined with the fierce spikes of the Fire Dragon's armor, shattered the Frostfang Wolf's head. The other Faan raised his head and delivered a headbutt, even more destructive than Sejuani's flail, flattening the wolf's head!
After recovering his stance, Faan charged towards the Wolf King again. However, this time, the Wolf King did not choose to fight. Instead, the moment the two wolves knocked Faan away, he howled and then turned and ran away, showing no intention of fighting at all.
"Huh! Want to run?!"
A hook broke through the air and sank into the flesh, and just as Fane stood firm, he grabbed the wolf king with force.
swoosh————
A bone arrow shot out from the air, piercing through the cold air, and with a flash of cold light it sank into the wolf king's eyes.
This gave Faan PTSD on the spot - someone stole my last knife?!
The hook's recovery mechanism was immediately triggered. Fane kicked the ground with his feet, rushed forward, and pierced the wolf king's neck with a sword. Then he turned his wrist and the air blade burst out to cut off the wolf's head from the inside.
"who is it!"
"Ashe?!"
Sejuani made a sound of surprise.
30
Huh? Ashe?
Hearing Sejuani's voice, Fane narrowed his eyes and soon saw the girl riding the mountain goat and the middle-aged woman on the distant mountain.
In the late winter when summer has not yet arrived - it sounds a bit strange, but this is how Freljord is. Six out of twelve months are winter, three months are blizzard season which is colder than winter and can even freeze the Iceborn to death, and finally there are three months of summer when the actual temperature is almost the same as early spring.
The temperature wasn't even early spring in normal places, barely 12 or 13 degrees Celsius below zero. Even Freljordians, who could endure the cold, would still have to wear heavy clothing to go out. But the girl riding the mountain goat was different.
The Orca is a species unique to the Freljord. Similar to the Enuk, the Orca is shorter and more agile. Its large, spiral-shaped horns resemble those of the Tibetan antelope, though larger. Its herbivorous nature and ability to navigate cliffs make it a favorite of the Freljord's mountain dwellers.
Basically, the Freljordians who live on the plains raise Enuk buffalo, and those who live in the mountains and by the sea raise Enka blue sheep.
But compared to the mountain goat, what attracted more attention was obviously the man wearing a blue sleeveless shooting suit.
The girl's skin was radiant and fair due to the lack of sunlight in the Freljord. Her straight legs, straddling the flaxen mountain goat, made her look like an elf in the snow.
Ashe, the Frost Archer. A veteran character in League of Legends, she's incredibly common in both casual games and competitive arenas thanks to her ultimate's long-range control, the slowing effect of her basic attacks, and the long-range vision provided by her third skill. She even appeared in the warrior-dominated top lane, using her single-attack slowing power to torment the shorter players to the point of excruciating pain.
Then he was caught by the jungler and disappeared for the rest of the game.
Seeing that it was Ashe who nearly stole his jungle, what could Faan do? He could only shrug and pretend nothing happened. After all, as an ADC, it's understandable that she's a bit timid. With poor development, Sejuani here already has a helmet and a flail, while Ashe is still holding a simple bow and arrows, needing to clear the jungle to get a big item.
And, even though it was his first time meeting Ashe in person, Faan still had a good impression of her. After all, she was kind and beautiful, and as his wife's best friend, Ashe might be able to help solve any problems.
If it was someone who suddenly instigated a hike in the gift price after getting off the car at a wedding...tsk tsk, that's another matter.
Standing there with his arms folded, Faan quietly watched Ashe excitedly ride towards him on a mountain goat in the distance. Then he came to the ground and hugged Sejuani tightly.
"Sejuani! Long time no see!" After hugging for a while, Ashe slowly let go of her hand, then looked at Sejuani excitedly and said, "The first time I saw you in the sky, I knew it must be you. Now that I come here to see you, it really is you! Sejuani, it must have been several years since we last met!"
After hearing what Ashe said, Sejuani laughed happily and said, "Yeah! It's been three years since we last met!"
Sejuani asked curiously, "You just said you saw us in the sky? What do you mean by sky?"
"That's it!" Ashe whistled, and then a brown Hippogriff flew quickly from the sky. Although it looked no different from an ordinary falcon, its eyes and feathers were surrounded by some ice-blue magic.
Having been in Freljord for some time, Fane knew that this was the characteristic of ice magic - it was not that Freljord did not have magic of other attributes, but that more than 90% of the magical creatures and magicians in Freljord were related to frost magic.
Especially wild creatures, apart from ice magic, there are almost no monsters with other attributes.
If the reason is...
It may sound a bit cruel, but because frost magic has a higher resistance to cold, the probability of surviving to the naming day is greater.
"The Eagle of Omen. It was injured a few months ago. After I nursed it back to health, it didn't want to leave. So it became my partner and hunts with me."
"You actually tamed the Eagle of Omen? Could what Fane said be true?"
Hearing this, Sejuani blinked in surprise.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Avarosa, the eldest of the three Ice Sisters, was blessed by the spirit of a falcon. A falcon spirit accompanied her, ensuring her tribe's access to food and prey during the most difficult times. Able to detect enemy activity from hundreds of meters away, it enabled the united tribe of the three sisters to anticipate enemy moves and secure victory in every battle.
Faan claimed to be the reincarnation of Serilda and Ashe the reincarnation of Avarosa. Sejuani was initially skeptical, but now, seeing the handsome magical falcon beside Ashe, she couldn't help but believe it a little.
"What's true or false?" Ash looked curiously at her sister whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Sejuani also said, "Well... things are a bit complicated. The reason why Faan and I came out is to find Warmother Glenna to confirm some things. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced her to you yet."
As she spoke, Sejuani pointed at Faan and said, "His name is Faan, a monster hunter from outside the Freljord, and my first blood ally."
"Blood alliance?!" After hearing Sejuani's words, Ashe covered her mouth in surprise. Then, with a look of shock, she said, "You... Sejuani, you have a blood alliance? Is that true?! No way, I feel like it will take at least several years for us to..."
Ashe's current surprise is like a college graduate just two years out of school. Toiling away, struggling to make ends meet, only to open up her social media feed and see, WTF?! My classmate's already married?!?!
Aren’t we still young?
Looking at Ashe's stunned expression, Faan raised his hand in a haughty manner: "Oi."
Ashe doesn't know her true nature yet. Before her true nature is revealed, Faan decides to keep pretending to be a taciturn master for as long as possible.
"Ah, hello, hello." Ashe nodded woodenly, then praised, "Yes, you are worthy of being Sejuani's First Blood Alliance. I saw your hunt just now. Even if the strongest hunters of the Avarosan tribe were dispatched together, they might not be able to handle it as effortlessly as you do."
Upon hearing this, Faan, who was pretending to be an expert, froze in shock. An exaggerated smile appeared on his lips. Although the helmet obscured the view of his distorted, gloomy face beneath the visor, Faan couldn't help but say cheerfully and modestly:
"Haha! Really? No, actually it's okay. I only used half of my usual level! If we have a chance to hunt together, I'll show you what it's like to hunt with all my strength, hehehe..."

As we all know, those who play with the sword are all outstanding people, with great ambitions to stabilize the country and are extraordinary talents. They are the pillars of the country and the hope of the nation.
However, because the base is too large, many people always have some bad misunderstandings about the swordsman.
For example, because the swordsman constantly ponders how to chop and ascend, he's naive and simple-minded, his dreams often being, "How can I even get this sword into the air?" Therefore, it's easy to PUA a swordsman otaku. Since swordsmen are incredibly reserved and afraid to talk to each other for fear of ridicule, all you need to do is say, "Wow, that's a cool chop!" when he successfully chop, then, when he hits the wrong spot and a string of single-digit white text pops up, say, "It's all my teammates' fault for not softening up early." And, when the Dragon Sword ascends, he'll say, "Why are they pulling aggro?" Finally, he'll casually reveal that he enjoys playing with milk flutes and milk slices, and his backpack is filled with various items like enhanced control and healing. Then, he'll say, "There's a quest I can't complete, can you help me?" ... Just watch, this swordsman has even thought of a name for his child.
This is a serious misunderstanding, especially as a veteran swordsman, Fan decided to solemnly confirm and declare two points with his own actions.
First of all, this is not a misunderstanding.
Secondly, our sword shrimp is like this.
Looking at Faan who was laughing, Sejuani curled her lips.
It’s hard to imagine that it was this man who made my brain go blank last night, and my stomach is still bloated now... But then again, that stew was really delicious.
Looking at Sejuani and Faan, Arno on the side also turned his gaze to the Frostfang Wolves and was secretly shocked.
The Frostfang Wolves are considered the dominant force in the Freljord. Barring giant beasts like Yeti, Trolls, and Frost Mammoths, as well as other pack creatures, the Frostfang Wolves can essentially dominate the Freljord. Especially in the absence of Iceborn, the Frostfang Wolves, capable of unleashing frost magic, can reduce their prey through relentless attacks and magical erosion, ultimately delivering a final blow when their prey is at its most vulnerable, devouring their entire prey.
Now, these two people had killed more than a dozen Frostfang Giant Wolves, including even the strongest and core members of the pack, such as the Wolf King and the Wolf Mother.
Heilno asked himself, even if Glenna led the team personally, facing such a group of Frostfang Wolves, they could probably only barely repel them, instead of this almost one-sided massacre.
Located on the mountain, although Heilno did not have the super-long vision brought by the Eagle of Prediction, Heilno could still more or less guess the course of the battle through the traces at the scene and the last few scenes he saw.
Apart from anything else, from the distribution of bloodstains, the splashing of blood, and the way the wolf king and wolf mother died, Heilno was able to determine that the main force of the battle was the monster hunter named Faan - and, he was Sejuani's blood ally.
Humph, I didn’t expect that Xi Jian could have good taste.
However, the Winter's Claw and Avarosa are sister tribes. If the alliance is restored, then vaccination should not be out of the question...
Heiluo didn't show what he was thinking, but said, "If that's the case, let's clean up the battlefield quickly. Otherwise, the smell of blood here will definitely attract the attention of other beasts."
"Yes!" Hearing this, Sejuani nodded, then looked at Faan and asked, "Do you need our help?"
Sejuani was well aware of Faan's deft hands. Thinking of the three immortals returning to the cave, she couldn't help but cringe.
"Let me do it."
After recovering from the dagger-like appearance typical of a swordsman, Fane drew his hunting dagger and said, "Could you please help me get all the bodies here? Thirteen Frostfang Wolves. Um, if we're quick, twenty... twenty-five minutes or so."
"Twenty-five minutes?"
Hearing this, Heiluo looked puzzled.
You know, removing the meat and skinning it is no simple task. Especially since the Frostfang wolves are not small. Twenty-five minutes to process thirteen wolves means two minutes per wolf... Never mind two minutes. Even the experienced butchers in the tribe would take at least five or six minutes to simply gut and clean the wolves.
They exchanged a look with Ashe, who was equally puzzled. After seeing that Sejuani had no reaction, the two buried their doubts in their hearts, and then together sent the Frostfang Wolf to Faan.
Faan, on the other hand, quickly pulled out his hunting knife. Then, as the two watched, the seemingly unrefined hunting knife in Faan's hand swiftly sliced open the Frostfang Wolf's belly, smooth as a hot knife through butter. His hands reached in, and within moments, the internal organs were completely removed. Just when the two thought they were done, Faan flipped the Frostfang Wolf over, and the sharp hunting knife sliced along the cracks in the bones.
It was incredibly smooth. In less than half a minute, the entire skeleton of the Frostfang Wolf except for the skull was completely shaved off.
It was clear to see that the Frostfang Wolf's muscles hadn't suffered a single scratch. The blade sliced along the grain and cracks, and the soft flesh emerged from the warmth of the cavity. The cold air stimulated the flesh, and the red flesh trembled as if alive, revealing its softness and freshness.
Forget two minutes, this wolf only took less than a minute and a half, right?
"It's easy~" Fahn's face was full of ease. "You don't have to cut too deep. Just cut through the connective tissue and the other muscles. The rest of the meat will naturally fall off the bone."
As he spoke, Fane grabbed one end of the Frostfang Wolf's spine and pulled out the entire spinal cord.
"This is also good stuff, save it for hot pot tonight."
After saying that, Fane removed the entire wolf skin and placed it separately. This made Heilno's eyes narrow for a moment - it wasn't even a simple gutting, but also included the time for skinning and deboning?
Pulling over the next wolf, Faan continued to carve it up with ease. As his hands became more skilled and his understanding of the skeletal structure of the Frostfang Wolf deepened, Faan's carving speed grew faster and faster, his knife skills becoming more and more precise. At first, some of the bones of the Frostfang wolves, such as the spine, still showed some remnants of flesh, but by the end, they were as smooth as new, and anyone who didn't know could have mistaken them for works of art.
The most difficult part was the Frostfang Wolf King's corpse. Simply removing the bones took Faen nearly two minutes. This was because the Wolf King's skeleton was not only large, but also had some extra bones that normal Frostfang wolves didn't have. And there was also the magical gem in his head—the Wild Wolf Spirit Gem.
Wiping the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Fane handed Sejuani the gem and several high-quality wolf fangs. "It's done! Let's set off for the Avarosan tribe!"
Hearing this, even Heilnuo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the wolf meat, wolf skin, wolf bones, and offal packed on the ground. What kind of luck had Xijian gotten into to bring such an almighty hunter into the tribe?
In contrast, Ashe was quietly watching Sejuani, who was fiddling with Faan and discussing which Frost Wolf Fang was more beautiful.
While feeling happy for her good sister, there was also an indescribable envy and a hint of sadness between her brows.
32. Arrival at Avarosa
Looking at Sejuani, it would be a lie if Ashe said she didn't feel anything at all.
We had agreed to be good sisters for life, but when we met again, both sisters were married, while I was still stuck in the same place.
Ashe saw that Sejuani hadn't given up fighting just because she had a blood alliance. On the contrary, after switching from her previous staff and sword, she felt even more powerful. She was even able to launch a powerful counterattack against the Frostfang Wolf King.
And now, that blood alliance is not only powerful but also very interesting, and... very gentle?
That's right, right? Anyway, watching Faan grinning as he handed the wolf fang and gemstone to Sejuani, then seriously discussing which wolf fang had the best curve and how the gemstone should be set... Ashe found the scene incredibly heartwarming.
In this cold frozen land, everyone is trying their best just to survive. How can anyone show such a relaxed attitude?
"You two have such a good relationship." Ashe couldn't help but chuckle. "It's rare for a female Iceborn to be so close to her first blood ally."
"Who's close to him?" Hearing this, Sejuani immediately became anxious: "I just met him... I've only known him for less than seven days! I don't know why he became my blood ally!"
