Looking at Hilde, who fled at full speed, Sejuani swore in her heart that she would snatch Udir back.

She let Hilde go because she knew that the bears would never let go of any of their enemies.

Killing the bears will drive Hilde crazy, and with the ferocity of the Freljords, it is almost inevitable that they will all end up, so she can only let Hilde flee before the bears arrive, so as to save Udir's life.

"The daughter of the war, you just watched her take him away? War is merciless, and you have not done what you promised to offer a real war for Spirit Bear. ”

There was an unmistakable loud bang behind Sejuani, which echoed in her mind like a thunderbolt, nearly knocking her off the pig.

She turned her head, and the bear looked down on her, its face even more hideous with a massive scar.

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish, the clever Volibell can't understand such a simple truth, right? We will catch up with theirs and then offer an even more brutal war. ”

Sejuani describes Udir as a guide she has deliberately planted into the Avarosa tribe, and then hopes that Volibel will not go deeper.

Because they only had to follow the footsteps left by the Avarossa to catch up with them, there was no need to do anything more.

Thankfully, Voliber didn't pay much attention to what she did. The bear looked up in the direction of the Avarosa retreat, and uttered something that Sejuani was very concerned about.

"They're looking for Orn."

……

There was a bloody wail in her chest, and as the chill faded, the sharp pain of broken ribs was grinding against her will. Although there were no pursuers behind her, Hilde did not dare to slow down in the slightest, she rode on her horse, and every moment of pain slowed down meant that death was getting closer and closer to her.

After a period of chasing, Hilde also notices that the hostages are unusual. The shaman's mental state was in trouble, and he seemed to be asleep in a lucid dream, forgetting his existence.

Her guess was not wrong, and Udil was indeed an old man.

After encountering the Avarosa tribe, the thoughts around Udir suddenly skyrocketed, and all the living beings within a radius of several miles were perceived by him, and the harsh murmur of countless thoughts avoided burrowing into his head and exploding in his mind.

He couldn't refuse the voices, the thoughts from the mammoth, the Guyask, the horses overwhelmed his sense of self and filled his mind with foreign feelings. There are even human emotions, who are also animals. A thousand fragments of thought were mixed together: anger, fear, resentment, coldness - the human mind was always the most complex, and the chaotic sound bombarded his mind wildly, and before Udir could meditate, he was completely dragged into the deep sea of thoughts by the whirlpool.

His thoughts wandered uncontrollably. Too many creatures, too many people, all around him, their plight cried in his mind, and he lost control of his body.

Hilde didn't expect that he had taken shit luck and just caught Udir when he was at his most vulnerable. She wants to bring him to Ash, the mother of war, to prove her bravery.

As they moved away from the battlefield, the chaotic thoughts in Udil's mind quickly diminished, and he began to hear his own voice, and then his rolled eyes suddenly reset, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at the mane of the war horse in front of him, and began to feel that something was wrong.

"Stop!" Udir shouted, and the horses under him suddenly stopped their front hooves. But a chill followed, seeping down the spine.

With his experience, Udir guessed that someone was holding the ice against his back, and he began to have some idea of the situation.

"What do you want to do? Avarossa? Udir retracted the muscles on his back and probed. If he wanted to, he could turn into a falcon and escape.

"Who are you? Tell me, you don't have a choice! ”

The other party's voice was weak, as if he was extremely injured, which made Udir change his mind, and he now had more options to fight back.

However, he didn't feel the killing intent from the woman's body, so he chose to wait and see.

"I am the shaman of Winterclaw, an beast spirit walker."

"I want to know who you are!"

Udir thought for a moment and said, "I treat her as a daughter, and her parents are very incompetent. ”

"She listens to you, doesn't she?" Hield asked.

"I only give advice, and she is the one who makes the choice." For the most part, Sejuani was willing to listen to his advice, but Udir remembered the alliance with Volibel, and despite his attempts to obstruct it, Sejuani insisted on doing it.

Hilde sneered behind her, and it was clear that she had received a satisfactory answer.

"Where are you taking me?" After a moment of silence, Udir began to ask.

Hilde didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but she couldn't help but be upset by Udir's constant misdirected instructions to the horses. She tells Udir that she is going to take him hostage to her mother, Ash, in order to blackmail Sejuani.

Knowing Hilde's intentions, it was time for Udir to make a choice. Instead of killing Hilde and returning to Sejuani's side, he was planting in the Avarosa clan to wait for Winter's Claws.

For him, every moment with the bear man is an ordeal, and the undoubted bear spirit echoes in his mind all the time, so that he may be trapped in the giant bear form at any time and never come back. But at the same time, he was very worried about Sejuani, he was afraid that he was not watching by his side, and Sejuani would be occupied by the bear spirit at some point. Even if she had the North Wind Flails in her hand, it was entirely possible.

The warriors of Winterclaw are already inevitably assimilated, and even if Sejuani wins the final victory in this war, its nature will probably change from the victory of Winterclaw to the victory of the bears, which is an outcome that Udir does not want to see.

He began to wonder if he should take advantage of this time to leave the tribe and find a way to awaken his lost soul. The process of soul assimilation by Spirit Bear should be reversible.

Udir couldn't help but recall the hills of Ionia, where the red leaves of the Song Tree fell beside him, where he studied and met many powerful and noble beast spirits, and even had the privilege of becoming foreign brothers with the host of the legendary dragon spirit.

In that far-reaching land, he was confident that he would find a way to awaken. But in the wild and brutal Freljord, will he be able to find what he is looking for? He wasn't sure. But some attempts are still to be made.

So, a horse, two souls suspicious of each other, galloped across the white earth, heading towards an unpredictable future.
