The Buddhist Orn didn't want to go deep into Jeno's ambitions, and he didn't have to face the Void Watcher in the end anyway. Since Jeno didn't elaborate on the requirements, he, as a craftsman, gave Jeno his advice from a professional point of view.

"I'm going to make a spear out of these moonstones, what do you think?"

"Spear? It's good to use it for eye insertion. Jeno thought hard about Orn's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"So be it."

Orn took the full vat and prepared to begin studying the properties of the moonstone. And just then, Jeno asked him again.

"Let's start with that, this is not the same as smelting forbidden steel, you have to forge this weapon with eternal flames, and then infuse it with the power of runes!"

"Why?" Orn held back his anger and did not erupt, the anger he had accumulated was no less than that of a volcanic eruption. Every time he spoke to Jeno, he felt like he was pushing the limits of his patience.

What kind of black-hearted boss is this, who has been exploiting employees! It's just because he wanted to challenge a new goal at the beginning, and he ended up working for so long in vain!

"The Eternal Flame is the nemesis of the Void creatures, there's nothing to say, the power of the runes is injected to raise the ceiling of this weapon, after all, the opponent is the Void Watcher."

After Jeno explained why, Orn also expressed understanding. He blew the fire and began forging overnight. Despite the troubles caused by Jeno, he still loves forging weapons, especially trying new forging materials, which is a new challenge.

……

A few days later, Ash asked the leader of the archers in his tent why he hadn't brought back any prey from his recent hunting trip. Every day, the latest events in the tribe, big and small, come together and are at her disposal.

"I don't know why, but there are so few animals in the forest lately, we go out twice a day, and we don't even see a rabbit, and people are missing."

After the hunter leader finished explaining, the trap catcher on the side added: "The trap we set has also been broken and broken by brute force, but there is no trace of breaking free at the bottom, and there is no trace of blood. ”

"Sounds like a man-made ......," Ash listened to, lost in thought. And just then, Sejuani burst in with a big grin, interrupting her thoughts.

"Ash of War Mother, my sister, why do you look so sad, are you in trouble?"

"Sejuani, we're talking about how often we've been hunting empty-handed lately. Ernuk, who had died in the war, had eaten almost enough, and if we couldn't hunt any more prey, we would have to slaughter some of the living Ernuks. ”

Feeding the food needs of a tribe of 10,000 people is no easy task, and as the Mother of War, Ash must ensure a constant supply of food. But now that the supply chain has been cut off for several days, the freeze-drying they bring is rapidly consumed, and even if it is replenished, the accompanying Ernook herd will have to be slaughtered.

Ash didn't do that unless he had to, because they still needed these beasts of burden to transport supplies. If it hadn't been for them, Avarosa would not have been able to bring so many forbidden trees to the Furnace Country, and the importance of the beast of burden is evident.

"Isn't it just hunting? We're the best at Winterclaw! Let me personally take my tribe out hunting, and I will definitely give you the answer you deserve. ”

Sejuani said boldly, as if in her eyes, there seemed to be no difference between robbing and hunting.

Since the tribal alliance was in Ash's charge, Sejuani only knew that food storage was urgent. Unlike the Avarosa people, who are prepared for a rainy day, Winterclaw likes to wait until they run out of food before going out hunting or plundering.

And if they are lucky, they can often bring back more than two weeks of food reserves at a time, and the whole period of time can be spent in comfort and enthusiasm! But what if you're unlucky? Then leave it to fate.

"Don't talk too much, the hunters have described to me what I think is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us, to make us unable to eat. Even if you go, you won't necessarily bring back much prey. Ash kindly reminded her that she wouldn't stop Sejuani from hunting, and that her people had been running out of business lately anyway. She would only give Sejuani a shot first to make her more cautious.

"Could it be the Frost Guard?" Sejuani's eyes lit up, and now the only people who could oppose them were Lisandro's men, so she thought of the witch's men first.

"What do you think?" Ash immediately asked several hunters for their opinions.

"It's hard to say, we didn't find any footprints of outsiders in the hunting grounds." One hunter spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

"On a snowy day, footprints are quickly covered in snow. Anyway, I have to take a look. When it comes to this, Sejuani is no longer just about hunting. She'll also have to scout the hunting grounds, and if she finds out it's the Frost Guard who is playing tricks, she'll let them know what cruelty is.

Sejuani was about to lift the curtain and walk out of the tent when Ash stopped her: "I don't worry, bring more people!" ”

"Hmm!" Sejuani nodded heavily, and walked into the snow.

After about half a day, Sejuani broke into the tent again, and Ash looked up at her with an angry face, and was immediately surprised.

"Why did you come back so soon?" Ash asked. No matter how fierce Sejuani's people are, it is impossible to take the prey with them.

"Hmph, look what I found!" Sejuani angrily walked out of the tent, and Ash, realizing that something was wrong, immediately followed her out.

Outside the tent, Ash watched as the warriors of Winter's Claws dragged a corpse off their mounts and lowered it on the snow.

The corpse was light, for his flesh had been eaten away and there was not much left, like a skeleton. Only one head remained, intact, and the tattoos on his face indicated that it was an Avarossa, perhaps one of the missing hunters.

His limbs were mutilated, his ribs were broken at the root, and most of his internal organs were removed. Ash's gaze inadvertently swept over the sharp fracture of his ribs, and he found that even the bone marrow inside had been sucked out!

He was "eaten"!

The nightmare scene slammed into Ash's mind, and she quickly turned around and bent over, a feeling of nausea rushing up and down her esophagus, making her almost vomit what she had eaten last night.

She finally knew why Sejuani was so angry, no one could remain calm after seeing the corpse of such a fellow man. She thought that she was calm enough to deal with everything, but this unconscionable torture still made her unable to accept even the tragic betrayal and cruel death.
