"We'll set off in the afternoon and get ready."
After Olaf left Sejuani's tent, he did not return to his own residence, but went straight to where the second-in-command of Winter Claw, Scar Mother Frena, was.
Looking at Fleina who was combing Bingya's hair, Olaf said softly:
"Freina, after the War Mother and I leave, if Lord Udyr comes back, you can tell him where Sejuani and I are going, and ask him to reach the coast of the Frozen Sea as quickly as possible to pick up Sejuani. If possible, go to the Avarosa tribe."
Fleinna's body trembled, and she turned to look at Olaf.
Based on Flena's understanding of Olaf, he has always been the kind of rough guy who is always fighting hard. She didn't expect that he would be able to say such words now.
Under Fleinna's surprised gaze, Olaf continued:
“Sejuani has provided me with this opportunity, and I will use my life to help Winter’s Claw get what she wants. Lord Udyr only needs to escort Sejuani back safely.”
Fleena nodded slightly.
"I see."
It was soon afternoon, and the weak sunlight still could not penetrate the thick clouds of the Freljord.
The weather seems to be getting colder.
"Roar!"
Bristle's huge body, as big as a hill, rushed out from the edge of Winter's Claw, and behind it were a group of berserkers and blood warriors holding battle axes.
A team of more than a dozen people, led by Sejuani, quickly headed towards the Ice Sea.
The territory of the Bearmen is located in the northernmost part of the entire Freljord continent, across the sea from the main continent.
There is only one way to get to Bearman Island from the main continent, and that is the bridge across the ice sea.
At the same time, this is also the first obstacle leading to Bearman Island.
It is said that this bridge was blessed by the demigod Seal Sister, so it can always stand on the ice sea.
However, although this bridge spans the ice sea and has stood here for who knows how many years, there has been no trace of any living creatures here in the past.
The monsters that exist in the ice sea will devour any living creatures that come close to them without any reason.
The bear people may not have to fear the monsters in the Sea of Ice, but to ordinary humans, the existence of these monsters is deadly.
After nearly a day's journey, Sejuani, Olaf and others finally arrived at the Sea of Ice.
The vast sea of ice seemed very calm, with only the tinkling sound of icebergs colliding with each other in the water near the coast.
In front of them, a majestic bridge that continued to extend into the depths of the sea spanned the entire ice sea.
Sejuani rode on Bristleman's back and stared at the bridge ahead with Olaf.
They all knew that once they crossed the bridge, there would be no turning back.
Sejuani and Olaf looked at each other, and Sejuani pulled Bristleman's reins.
"let's go."
The wind and snow in the sky seemed to be stronger. The sharp snowflakes scratched the exposed skin, causing a slight stinging sensation on the skin of Sejuani and her companions.
But at the same time, this tingling pain was constantly stimulating the nerves of the group, forcing them to concentrate their attention to the limit.
On the endless bridge, the dozen or so people from the Winter Claw were like ants on a sand table, moving forward little by little.
Suddenly, when the group had walked about one-third of the distance, they began to hear the sound of the sea surface being cut.
Almost at the moment the sound came, everyone clenched their weapons tightly.
“Tap tap tap~~”
The footsteps continued, and in the next moment, a pair of bloody mouths jumped out from under the sea and rushed straight towards Sejuani who was in the lead.
"drink!"
Faced with this sudden huge sea beast, Sejuani swung the True Ice Flail in her hand without hesitation, and the True Ice with huge force suddenly hit the sea beast's head.
With this blow powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, the sea monster's head exploded almost instantly, and scarlet blood and smelly brain matter flowed all over the ground.
"Boost!"
Sejuani knew that this was just the beginning.
There are definitely a lot of sea beasts lurking in the icy sea, and their journey is destined to be full of ups and downs.
In this way, the berserkers led by Olaf surrounded Sejuani and Bristlemane in the middle and moved forward quickly.
Along the way, countless sea beasts rushed onto the bridge, trying to swallow the rare human flesh into their mouths, and they all died on the bridge without exception.
As the Winter Claw group gradually approached the territory of the Bear People, the bridge behind them was piled with the corpses of sea beasts.
At the moment these sea beasts died, new sea beasts in the sea would immediately appear and swallow the corpses of their own kind into their mouths, leaving only smelly bloodstains on the bridge.
Finally, after who knows how much time of killing, just when everyone had become numb, they finally saw the coastline gradually emerging on the horizon.
In front of the bridge, there is an extremely huge rock arch, like the gate of hell leading to the ghost gate. Behind the gate is a thunderstorm and the faint roar of a giant bear.
After passing through this rock arch, they truly arrived at the territory of the Bear People.
Slowly passing through the rock arch, Sejuani couldn't help but raise her head and look upwards.
The rock arch was very high. Whether it was an illusion or something else, Sejuani always felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in her heart, which made her feel extremely depressed, but she could not find the source of this sense of crisis.
She had clearly confirmed that not long ago, the Bearmen had already rushed to the Monster Ranch in a mighty force, and at this time there should only be a few scattered Bearmen in the Bearmen's territory.
But why do I still feel uneasy?
Shaking her head violently, Sejuani continued to move forward with Olaf and his party.
This was Sejuani's first time on Bear Island, and she had to admit that it was very different from what she had imagined.
Countless towering and ferocious mountains are scattered around the Bearman Island, forming a natural wind shelter for the island. Inside is an endless plain, flat and vast.
Although Volibear's attitude towards humans is very unfriendly, he is still very friendly to his bear men.
Otherwise, he would not have lowered himself to ask Ornn to make equipment for his Bearmen warriors. The terrain of Bearmen Island should also have been shaped by Volibear.
Stepping on the white snow, Sejuani suddenly paused, then raised her hand and gestured to the people behind her.
Looking forward with Sejuani, there, at the end of the valley, there were two bear men patrolling back and forth!
Sejuani chose to let the Berserker and Bloodthirster behind her stay here and wait for her and Olaf to come back, while she and Olaf moved forward little by little.
When they were close enough, a rich icy blue light began to shine from Sejuani's hands, and Olaf also tightened his grip on his double axes.
At a certain moment, just as the two bear men turned around, Sejuani shot out the True Ice Flail in her hand towards them without hesitation.
"Extreme Ice Prison!"
Steel Mane growled, stomped heavily on the snow, and rushed forward with the True Ice Flail.
Olaf also threw the axe in his hand and rushed towards the bear man following Bristleman.
"!!"
Sensing the sound of breaking air behind them, the two bear men turned around abruptly, but it was too late.
In almost an instant, the Extreme Ice Prison exploded in the middle of them. The blazing icy energy completely enveloped them and completely froze them into an ice sculpture.
Then, Sejuani and Bristle rushed towards one of the bearmen, and smashed the ice sculpture's head with their armored arms.
"Crack!"
The ice sculpture was instantly covered with cracks, and finally shattered completely, scattering ice chips all over the ground.
Obviously, these two bearmen were just bearmen transformed from ordinary beast walkers. Their strength was much weaker than that of the bearmen created by Volibear, such as the Hunting Lord.
Just after Sejuani dealt with the first bear man, Olaf came to another bear man.
He chopped the ice sculpture madly with the axe in his hand, and soon dismembered it completely.
"Hoo~!"
After letting out a long breath, Sejuani and Olaf looked at each other.
There was a solemn look in the eyes of both of them.
Just two ordinary bear men were enough to give them a headache. If there were more bear men behind them, their actions would become extremely difficult.
After exchanging glances, the two continued to walk towards the interior of Bearman Island.
They have walked out of the valley, and now all they have to do is head to the center of Bearman Island to look for the trace of Da Weng!
Starting from the outskirts of Bearman Island, Sejuani and Olaf moved closer to the central area little by little.
Along the way, although the two encountered several patrolling bearmen, they were easily avoided.
Similar to the base of the Winter Claw, there are also many tents in the territory of the Bearmen, but the air here is filled with an extremely strong fishy smell, and exposed bones can often be seen on the ground.
Finally, after walking cautiously for nearly half a day, Sejuani and Olaf finally arrived at the center of the entire Bearman Island.
Along the way, except for the two bear men at the exit of the valley, Sejuani did not encounter any obstacles, which made Sejuani feel that things were going so smoothly that it was a little unreal.
Sejuani attributed all this to the fact that the Ursine were out at the Monster Ranch and that Ursine Island had never encountered invaders, so it was poorly defended.
After all, this is the home of Volibear, the God of Thunder. What idiot would be brave enough to come here to steal things? It is normal that the defense is loose.
Walking among the densely packed tents in the center of the settlement, Sejuani Olaf avoided the lazy bear guards while always searching for the traces of the Great Elder.
Sejuani and Olaf had both heard the old shaman describe the appearance of the Great Elder, so they were very sure that if they saw it, they would be able to recognize it at the first sight.
After searching for a long time in the central area of Bearman Island, Sejuani's body suddenly stopped.
She grabbed Olaf's hand and stared straight ahead.
Olaf was a little confused at first, but when he followed Sejuani's gaze and looked forward, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Big man!"
The moment Olaf spoke, he immediately covered his mouth, but the light in his eyes was trembling violently.
Right in front of them, an enormous earth-gray clay pot was placed on a blazing flame. The charming aroma of meat was constantly emanating from the pot, and the constantly rising bubbles spread the fragrance of the broth into the air.
This big pot is almost one person tall and cannot be hugged by three people. It looks very simple in appearance, but it is engraved with many strange magical patterns.
Judging from the appearance, all the characteristics of the cauldron in front of him met the old shaman's description.
Sejuani's eyes were fixed on the old man in front of her, her hands clenched tightly. Whether Winter Claw could survive the winter comfortably depended on this moment!
She suddenly lowered her body, and saw another group of bear guards passing by in front of her. At the same time, Sejuani also heard the conversation between several bears.
