"Without a doubt, it's because of me that Aichy's tribe was targeted."
Dressed neatly, Li Ke recalled his own experience, as well as the fragmented backstory of League of Legends that he had only read a part of. He was certain that Eich didn't have much interaction with Furybear in his memories. Most importantly, Furybear called him a thief.
Furybear didn't say that casually.
"But what did I steal from him? I only drained a part of his follower's life force. Could it be that it wasn't his follower's power, but his own? "
Even as he followed Aichy's army in silence, Li Ke was still thinking about how he provoked this god.
"Could it be that he couldn't replenish the life force I drained? But that's impossible. Even mortals can replenish the life force they lack in their daily lives, so it doesn't make sense that gods can't. Most importantly, even if the life force I drained was his power, why are the changes in my body caused by his power? "
He knew that his Life Shroud Technique and physique grew rapidly after he regained his freedom, which was why he didn't know which part of it was. He also remembered that he had used up all the power he got from the Bearman.
"I really don't get it …"
Li Ke looked at the vast snowy plains and the falling snowflakes. He thought about the food seeds he injected with the life force of the Ice People because he regretted that he didn't have enough time to observe them.
"Don't mind it, Li Ke. War is always like this. We can't always be prepared for war."
Aichy saw Li Ke's annoyance. Although she wasn't in a good mood, she still came to persuade him.
"Take me for example. The most hurried battle I've ever had was near a pond. I had just exchanged names and gifts with a child of my age, and we had agreed to play together the next day. Then, I discovered that our two tribes had suddenly become hostile because of the issue of God. So, he and I had to fight each other with fishing rods."
Eich told Li Ke about her experience, and this story did indeed attract Li Ke's attention.
"And then? Did he die? "
The beautiful Matriarch of War nodded and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Yes, he died, but I didn't kill him. It was my cousin. She used a knife to slit his throat while he was fighting with me. But the sad thing was that she was angry at me a few minutes ago because the boy preferred to play with me. After that, I found out that being disrespectful to the gods was just an excuse. The real reason was that his tribe stole a few bags of food from us. "
Li Ke was shocked. After all, according to what Aichy said, not only would the adults kill each other, even the children would kill each other.
"… It seems that this is not a very beautiful story."
He paused for a moment.
"But we will let this matter be concluded forever."
"If you really want to do this, then you should stay at home!"
Aichy's voice was a little out of control.
"Then let a girl fight for my safety and face an enemy that even I am afraid of? Aichy, I can't do such a thing. I want the people here to be happy, but at the same time, I will also make you happy. "
Li Ke placed his hand on his heart and felt the fear in his heart.
"Because as long as there is someone who needs to be defeated, I will never embrace death."
"But that is a god!"
"Then, are you confident that you won't die on such a battlefield? If you are, you don't have to bring me along. "
"…"
Aichy clenched her fists. She didn't have absolute confidence that she wouldn't die when facing the Bearmen warriors. After all, those warriors were existences without fear. They were the embodiment of Furybear's strength and will. There were even rumors that they would eventually fuse completely with Furybear and become a part of the great Storm Spirit. That was why she didn't answer Li Ke's question. Instead, she looked up at the sky that was beginning to darken and pointed at the town in the distance.
"There is my town in front. We will set up camp there. Li Ke, let's not talk about this anymore. "
She said this to Li Ke in an almost pleading tone. Li Ke could only shut up and stop asking.
But …
"What a troublesome woman. It's hard to reject her."
In the end, Aichy didn't bring Li Ke to the battle. She brought Li Ke to the other town that belonged to her and left Li Ke there. Then, she led her troops and headed straight for the Winterspring Clan's territory.
However, she wasn't as uncertain as when she faced Li Ke because she knew that as long as she killed enough believers, she could distract Furybear and help her defeat Furybear. And once Furybear retreated, the Bearmen would also retreat. Moreover, the Bear Clan wasn't invincible. It wasn't as if she and her warriors hadn't fought with those terrifying warriors before. She was still able to deal with them.
However, Li Ke couldn't go because he would undoubtedly be targeted by the Bearmen. Besides, as long as there were believers, Furybear could appear on the battlefield at any time and attack him. Even though he could also summon Avernia over, it was still risky. Therefore, even if Li Ke had incredible strength, Aichy didn't intend to let him fight with the Bearmen around him.
This was why Aichy was so against Li Ke entering the battlefield with them and didn't hesitate to use this method to get rid of Li Ke.
However, Li Ke couldn't accept her kindness.
"You're the one."
Li Ke pondered for a long time and finally chose a white horse. He jumped on and before the horse could stand upright, he severed the reins with his sword. Then, he grabbed the horse's mane and dashed toward the entrance of the camp.
The speed of this horse was very fast, so fast that even if the guards discovered Li Ke's tracks, they wouldn't be able to use anything to block Li Ke's path. They could only watch as Li Ke shot out of the town like an arrow, rushing towards a direction completely different from Eich's.
Yes, Li Ke had gone astray.
And he had gone astray from the very beginning.
The footprints he saw in the snow weren't the real footprints of Aichy's group. Instead, it was a meticulously woven illusion. Thus, he followed the path of the army in his eyes and advanced in a direction that was completely different from the direction that Eich and the others were advancing.
He underestimated Furybear's influence on him and the connection between him and Furybear.
