This old man, who already looked a little thin, stood out among this group of tall and strong people. But when the old man spoke, the whole team immediately fell silent.
Whether it was the two people who were still arguing before or the few people around who wanted to join the argument, they all looked towards the old man. When they saw that the old man wanted to speak, they all chose to shut up temporarily and listen carefully.
.
The old man's slightly cloudy eyes slowly swept over everyone, his eyes containing many indescribable emotions, but his wrinkled face was as calm as an ancient well.
The old man seemed to have experienced too many storms, so no matter how fierce the argument was, he just said one sentence and the contradictory atmosphere around him was instantly relieved.
"If we didn't care about our ancestors' instructions, why did we move thousands of miles back to this place when we faced that tragedy?
At that time, those forces that targeted us blocked our way back one by one, and we suffered huge losses as a result. If we had chosen other directions and destinations, our tribe would not have been the only ones left."
While the old man was speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the side, and everyone looked around subconsciously. Even though everyone knew exactly how many people were in their team, after hearing the old man's words,
Looking around again, it’s a different feeling. .??.
The Icefield Clan in the past was not comparable to an empire, but it was not much different. If the roaring beast Zhentian of the Monster Clan had not led his strong men to explore the eight-door locked space and was trapped, perhaps the Yelin Empire of today would be trapped.
It no longer exists, and even the Xuanwu Empire may give up part of its territory to the Monster Clan and the Icefield Clan.
But there are so many what-ifs in the world. After Zhentian and other powerful men were trapped, it directly led to the complete decline of the monster clan. If it were not for the special features of the Tianping Mountains, I am afraid that the clan would have been completely exterminated by now.
In that case, the Icefield Clan would naturally not be able to benefit, especially with the combined efforts of the Yelin Empire, Xuanwu Empire, Fengtian Dynasty and Prairie Tribe, the Icefield Clan would not be able to fight at all.
In the final battle between the Monster Clan and the Ice Plains Tribe against various empires and forces, they were finally completely defeated. Almost a quarter of the Ice Plains Clan and Monster Beasts perished in that battle.
Don't underestimate the number of a quarter, you must know that it is equivalent to the loss of the strongest part of the combat power. The remaining monsters can only retreat to the deepest part of the Tianping Mountains in embarrassment, with the help of the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth
To protect, but it is difficult for monsters to practice and improve their strength in such an environment.
If you go out, you will be immediately rounded up.
As for the Icefield clan, they simply could not survive in the violent aura in the core area of the Tianping Mountains. Leaving was their only choice at that time.
At that time, the Icefield Clan still had tens of thousands of people, and there had been disagreements over whether to return to their ancestral land or find another place to stay.
In the end, the clan elders with the highest status in the clan chose to follow the ancestral precepts and return to their ancestral land despite all the difficulties. The price of this choice is that today, there are only a few hundred people left in the Icefield clan.
Most of the other members of the Ice Tribe died in battle while breaking through the layers of blockades, and some died after reluctantly returning to their ancestral land due to serious injuries and lack of good treatment conditions.
The living environment of the ice tribe in their ancestral land is very harsh, so even after hundreds of years have passed, the number of the tribe has not increased.
These ice tribesmen are actually almost completely desperate. They feel that leaving the Arctic Icefield has become a luxury hope and dream.
However, they did not expect that they would be able to see the ancestral land reopened in their lifetime, and that they would one day come out of the ancestral land again. Facing the reopened ancestral land, the shadow left many years ago is still imprinted on everyone who has experienced it personally.
in the mind.
Many people have hesitated about where to go. Those who want to leave are worried, while those who don't want to leave can't help but yearn for the outside world.
However, the increasingly harsh environment in the ancestral land and the ancestral precepts made people finally choose to leave the ancestral land.
But even after leaving their ancestral land, the Icefield tribe has no intention of leaving the Far North Icefield, at least for the time being. Without even thinking about where to go, everyone can only follow the guidance of their ancestors and head towards this place.
Direction, came to where this iceberg is.
Over the years, countless powerful people in Kunxuan Continent have explored the Far North Icefield in depth, but they have never seen the glacier ridge in front of them, let alone this special-shaped iceberg. Therefore, after seeing the iceberg, everyone must pay special attention to it, and can roughly
Infer the specific conditions inside the iceberg.
On the contrary, the people of the Icefield Tribe have been trapped in their ancestral land for many years. Not to mention the Kunxuan Continent, they don’t know much about the situation in the extreme northern icefield. No matter whether they see this glacier along the way,
Or watch
When they saw this upside-down iceberg, they didn't feel anything was wrong, but the current state of the iceberg made them feel a little strange.
Although when they first arrived, some people suggested finding a way to explore the inside of the iceberg, but this proposal was quickly rejected by most people.
Because if they follow the ancestral teachings, they cannot explore the iceberg, but if the iceberg is really damaged, they can repair it.
If no one else is here when the Icefield tribesmen come here, there may be tribesmen who want to explore the iceberg. However, the internal situation of the iceberg is unknown, and there are so many people around who are watching eagerly, so they naturally dare not act rashly.
As for the matter of repairing the iceberg, even if some people want to follow the ancestral precepts, they will never be able to do it without the help of special conditions. Therefore, even if there are requirements put forward by the ancestral precepts, no one really intends to follow them.
Until the surrounding cold wind suddenly became biting, in the eyes of other warriors, this meant that the environment was about to become very bad, but in the eyes of everyone in the Icefield clan, this was a harbinger of new changes.
Others haven't noticed anything unusual yet, but the people of the Icefield clan can sense it in advance. That's because of their bloodline, because of the techniques they practice, and because their bodies naturally have the ability to sense these things.
While most of the people were still hesitating about whether to evacuate from the Far North Icefield now, or how to deal with the weather that might become more and more severe in the future. The people of the Icefield clan began to discuss whether to
Follow the requirements of ancestral precepts.
When everyone looked at the old man again, they found that he had turned his head to look at the sky. His cloudy old eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly, but everyone knew that the old man could see as much as everyone else, and even more than others.
Want to see more.
After a while, the old man looked away, and his unwavering face became even more gloomy.
"From the moment we stepped out of our ancestral land, the fate of the Icefield clan has changed. But whether it will get better or worse depends on all of you."
Everyone can understand that the old man intends to leave the decision-making power in everyone's hands. However, the old man obviously has not finished what he said, so no one speaks out and just listens quietly.
The old man quickly continued: "Are we going to continue to survive in the Arctic ice sheet, or are we going to leave here and go outside?"
No one expected that the old man would suddenly ask such a question
Question, for a moment you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't understand?" A wry smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he explained: "If we decide to stay in the far north ice field from now on, then we don't need to pay attention to the ancestral teachings and just hide on this ice field.
Maybe some tribesmen will be found, killed or captured by them, but there will also be some tribesmen who can continue to hide."
"What about the future?" The man named Maggie couldn't help but frown and asked.
The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "Keep hiding, as long as you are not captured or killed, then you will hide like this until your life is exhausted."
When everyone heard what the old man said, they all showed difficulty in accepting it. Some even turned red because of their anger.
"Not willing?" The old man sighed, and then said: "You also know that the outside world cannot tolerate us, and if we want to set foot on Kunxuan Continent again, we must follow the instructions of our ancestors."
"Can't we go out on our own and find a place where our people can live?" The man named Yashan couldn't help but ask.
"I think you should know that outside the extreme northern ice sheet, almost everything belongs to the Yelin Empire, and a small part of it borders the Xuanwu Empire. These two empires had a big feud with our clan back then. Do you think if they find out that our clan appears, and
We have also left the Far North Icefield, how will they deal with us?"
After a pause, the old man continued: "Even if we leave our ancestral land quietly, it will be difficult to find a place to live on Kunxuan Continent, let alone so many pairs of eyes seeing us."
The eyes of many people dimmed suddenly. Just as the old man said, staying in the Arctic ice sheet and lingering was definitely not the outcome they hoped for.
Because they are like prey in a huge hunting ground, and those human warriors can come in and hunt them anytime and anywhere. Apart from hiding here and there, they have no power to resist at all.
However, if they follow their ancestral precepts, they do not think that the Icefield clan can live a hopeful life. After all, they have been trapped in their ancestral land for too many years. Not only have their hopes been wiped out, but their despair has also been wiped out.
, what remains is more of a kind of numbness.
"Since I said that everyone will choose the next path, I will not decide for you. Changes will appear soon, and you can choose what to do when the time comes. I just hope that everyone will not regret this choice. Maybe this
It is the last choice for each of us... our entire Icefield clan."
