In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

Cheng Xiao suddenly understood after a little thought.

I'm afraid that group of so-called bandits were called by Marukolo?

In order to carry out the will of the Frost Witch and prevent anyone from obtaining the inheritance of the "Three Sisters", so that the Frost Witch can maintain her supreme rule over Freljord.

Cheng Xiao munched on the dry food Ashe gave him while continuing to watch the constant debate among the crowd.

Finally, Glenna made up her mind: "No need to say anything, tomorrow I will personally lead a team to contain the bandits, and the main force will continue to advance!"

"War Mother!" This word ignited everyone's emotions, "We can't lose our minds at a time like this!"

"Even if I die, I must let the Avarosa tribe inherit the inheritance of their ancestors!" Glenna ignored everyone's opinions, directly shouldered her battle axe, and signaled everyone to shut up.

Everyone was silent again.

Cheng Xiao suddenly became excited - he heard a key word.

【die】

What he wants to do most now is to die once!

I got a new skill but haven’t tried it yet!

"How about you let me try?"

In the silence, Cheng Xiao's voice seemed so loud.

"To repay Miss Ashley for saving my life, I am willing to go and contain those bandits."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in surprise - this young man? Such a thin boy?

Isn't this going to die?

Would he even risk his life to impress Ashe? This clean-shaven guy looks like a wealthy out-of-towner, but he's probably unaware of the cruelty of battle...

The elders shook their heads and sighed, feeling that it was ridiculous and at the same time a pity that such a beautiful vase was in such a hurry to die.

But Marukolo's ideas are somewhat different from everyone else's.

As a spy, he saw more than others.

Not only did he find Cheng Xiao's behavior of showing herself to Ai Xi disgusting and offensive, but...

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied when the War Mother said she would lead the team herself, he could accept it - Glenna was the strongest in the entire tribe and the main fighting force. As long as she died, the Avarosa tribe would not be able to survive to the end.

but now……

Who is this man...

A stranger I've never seen before, not even from the Freljord...

This is a big uncertainty...

"This... guest, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to put yourself in danger," Marukolo said in a kind tone. "Our Avarosan tribe has always been hospitable. If you repay us in this way, it would seem like we're repaying a favor."

"It's okay, Master Priest." Cheng Xiao smiled and looked at Ashe, who also had a shocked expression on her face.

"It's just a matter of repaying a favor. At worst, I can just die."

Chapter 3 Explosion is art!

"Cheng Xiao, are you crazy?"

Upon hearing that Cheng Xiao was going to die in revenge, the person involved, Ai Xi, immediately became restless.

"Repaying a favor or something... Putting aside whether it's necessary or not, why do you resort to such extreme means?"

The girl frowned slightly, her face full of confusion and displeasure - protecting the weak and saving the good has always been the purpose of her Avarosa tribe. She saved Cheng Xiao entirely out of a sense of responsibility and kindness. Now that the other party wanted to do this, she felt sad.

It's like killing someone for no reason.

She would never allow that to happen.

"If you want to repay a favor, you can move things for us or do some work, that's fine, but this is absolutely not allowed!"

"Things should be prioritized, Miss Ashe." Cheng Xiao still looked indifferent, and then looked at the pensive war mother Glenna.

"Respected War Mother, I know the Avarosan tribe is very short of people right now. Why don't you let me give it a try? Miss Ashe saved my life, and it is only natural for me to repay her now. You don't have to feel indebted."

After she finished speaking, Ashe wanted to scold Cheng Xiao, but Glenna waved her hand.

"Since you're so willing, I'll agree to your request—but first, I'll make it clear I'm only agreeing to let you join my team, not to replace me in delaying the bandits. The mission is arduous, and I hope you can understand my caution."

"I understand." Cheng Xiao nodded.

Marukolo on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that Glenna would not go.

If Glenna didn't die, the subsequent actions would be much more troublesome, and he might even have to betray her openly... He didn't want that.

"But," just as everyone agreed with Glenna's plan, Cheng Xiao suddenly added, "I think I have a better idea."

"You say." Glenna said.

"I think it would be better if I went alone."

"Ok?"

Now not only Glenna was stunned, but everyone else also showed expressions of disbelief.

"This kid is really crazy..."

"Going with War Mother is already fraught with danger and a near-fatal escape. Going alone... would be practically the same as committing suicide."

"What a shame for such a good-looking boy."

"Tsk tsk, it would be better if she followed my daughter...or with me."

……

The elders murmured in a low voice, half regretful and half mocking, and Glenna's expression was not so good either.

"You know it's impossible to assign such a difficult task to you alone. If you fail, the losses will not only be yours, but will also seriously affect the entire tribe."

"I know, so what I mean is..." Cheng Xiao scratched his head and smiled:

"I'll go now, and you can set off after tomorrow. If I fail, it won't be too late for you to proceed according to the original plan tomorrow."

-----------------------------------

Night falls earlier in the Freljord than elsewhere.

The plain covered with snow and wind was white, and the darkness happened to be the best protective color for pedestrians.

In the few minutes that Cheng Xiao walked out of the Avarosa tribe camp, he heard countless ridicules and sighs. Everyone was whispering about how ridiculous it was that he was willing to risk his life to curry favor with Ashe.

And Marukolo, the traitor from the far north of the Freljord, was also grinning, probably convinced that he would die miserably at the hands of those bandits and that the plan would go smoothly.

Well... come to think of it, that guy is the one who really wants to curry favor with Ashe.

There are even some special little thoughts.

"Hahaha, so happy!"

The approaching sound interrupted Cheng Xiao's thoughts. He looked into the valley and caught a glimpse of a group of ice bandits drinking and chatting happily.

One, two, three, four... There are twenty-six people outside, and no less than that inside the camp.

With so many people, it should be enough for them to die many times.

Cheng Xiao silently took off the iron sword given to him by the blacksmith of the Avarosa tribe from his back - it was said to be the best sword in the whole village.

Then he strode towards the crowd.

Soon, a bandit sentry discovered him.

"Hey, guys! Someone's coming!"

With a greeting, more than 20 people outside immediately looked over here.

Then they skillfully formed a circle.

"Hey, are you lost?"

"You look very fair, you're from out of town? Are you here for tourism? Are you interested in playing with me, your sister?"

"Hey, hey, hey, be serious."

A male bandit seemed to be unable to bear the fact that none of the women in his tribe showed interest in Cheng Xiao, and immediately rushed over shouting.

"Boy, you've come to the wrong place!"

Without a word of nonsense, he struck with a fatal blow.

The big knife with several cuts on it chopped straight towards Cheng Xiao's neck.

The latter simply leaned sideways lightly.

The blade fell close to his face, missing it by just half a finger.

"I haven't practiced for a long time, but it seems I'm still not rusty." Cheng Xiao was very satisfied with her performance.

The robbers were enraged.

Two more people rushed up and attacked, but Cheng Xiao still dodged them easily.

During his years in Noxus, as a living weapon, he had more than just special magical abilities to train.

And...his training is far more brutal than that of ordinary people.

If you don't have to worry about dying, every training session is a real life-or-death combat training...

"There's absolutely no method at all. Don't you guys have any training?"

Cheng Xiao dodged the attack of the two again, then dived and swept across, and the sharp iron sword instantly cut off the robber's fragile knee joint.

When they fell to the ground in pain, their necks were cut by the sharp blade.

The two robbers died tragically without even having time to scream.

When the others saw this, they instantly realized the seriousness of the problem - this person was not a lost fledgling.

"Kill him!" The female bandits who had just teased Cheng Xiao revealed their brutal side, and their powerful muscles swung the big knife weighing more than ten pounds.

Cheng Xiao had no way to escape the siege of more than ten people.

Although these bandits have no combat skills, years of fighting and the harsh environment of the Freljord have given them strong physical fitness.

They are just used to exchanging injuries and seeing who falls first.

And this is exactly what Cheng Xiao wants.

They all thought that Cheng Xiao would dodge in a panic and then be hit by the blade on the other side, but Cheng Xiao made a surprising move -

He didn't dodge or evade, but just swung his sword at the enemy closest to him without any plan.

puff puff!

Two sounds of flesh breaking were heard at the same time.

Cheng Xiao pierced the neck of a robber, and the opponent's sword slashed down along his shoulder.

The heavy broadsword and powerful blows instantly broke his collarbone and shoulder blades, and the torn muscles almost hung to both sides, as if he was about to be split in half.

Blood splattered, flesh flew everywhere, and even the internal organs were exposed to the air...

Seeing this, the bandits breathed a sigh of relief.

But that terrifying voice sounded again...

"Fighting is fun."

Cheng Xiao looked at his arm, which was almost broken and connected by a few strands of muscle, and simply pointed the sword at himself.

Swish!

The arm fell to the ground, and the blood dyed the white snow red.

"Damn, this guy is a lunatic...!" Such a horrifying sight would terrify even the craziest berserker.

But there was no retreat for them.

The remaining bandits rushed forward and hacked desperately, trying to chop Cheng Xiao into minced meat.
