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

Fortunately, they succeeded.

After more than half of them were killed or injured, they successfully chopped off Cheng Xiao's head and chopped his body into pieces.

"That's fucking exaggerated... This guy is absolutely crazy!"

"Fortunately, he is just like that..."

"Damn it, Drakron never said there were such perverts in the Avarosa tribe!"

The remaining seven or eight bandits were panting, still immersed in the shadow of madness.

What they didn't expect was that the battle might have just begun.

The headless corpse moved slowly where they didn't notice.

Cheng Xiao's head fell to the ground and a smile appeared on his face.

A voice was ringing in his mind... a consciousness... He could still control his body without a heartbeat, and he felt a manic magical energy.

"Explosions are art..."

Boom——!

In the silent night, a "human bomb" burst into beautiful fireworks.

A foul-smelling rain of blood fell from the cloudless sky.

A young man stood bare-butt on the snow, his skin as white as a newborn baby.

Not far in front of him, more flames and shouts were approaching.

Those are the main force of the bandit tribe.

Tonight, let’s have a blast...

Chapter 4 Ashe: It hurts, it hurts so much!

In order to prepare for the expedition starting tomorrow, the Avarosa tribe camp fell silent early on.

Scattered stove owners patrolled and kept watch around the camp to avoid attacks.

They were alert to the situation outside the camp, but did not pay attention to the figures inside the camp.

A young girl quietly got up while everyone was fast asleep, and put on her equipment with the fastest movements and the least noise.

She groped her way through the camp watchtower in the dark and quietly slipped outside under the cover of night.

She wanted to go to the bandits and see what was going on.

Because Ashe couldn't let an outsider sacrifice himself in vain.

Protecting the weak is the ancestral motto of the Avarosa clan. Perhaps others have forgotten it in the harsh living environment, but she will always remember it.

She couldn't bear to see an outsider die because of their clan's affairs.

She disagreed with her mother and the elders' coldness and callousness, but she couldn't resist Cheng Xiao, who was determined to go out and take risks. She couldn't stop them, and they wouldn't allow her to go with Cheng Xiao. The only thing she could do now was to try her best to save Cheng Xiao.

"How could my mother agree to let him die in vain...Alas!"

With every step forward, Ashe's worries grew. She was really not sure whether Cheng Xiao was still alive after so much time.

But at least... at least bring his body out for burial, to avoid being abused by those crazy bandits.

It can also be regarded as a reward for the brave.

To the best of her ability.

Ashe gradually walked out of the camp's security area, and her steps became bolder and bolder.

But just as she was about to run, a dark shadow leaning against the ice rock suddenly moved.

Then came a voice that startled her:

"Ashe, you really do want to go find him after all... This is unwise, and I will never let you go."

Ashe looked nervous, but she didn't draw her weapon. She watched the man walk into the moonlight. It was an old acquaintance.

The frost priest of the tribe, Marukolo.

"I imagine you, with your kindness, won't sit idly by, but you should understand it's futile. Regardless of whether the guest is capable of protecting himself, the battle will definitely be over after one day."

"Either he died in battle, or he killed those bandits... But if it was the latter, I think he would have returned to the camp long ago."

"You are Glenna's only daughter and the sole heir to the Avarosa tribe. Please be rational."

After these words, Ashe bit her lip and lowered her head.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she knew that what Marukolo said made sense - she had even thought of it a long time ago, but she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Then at least... let me bring his body out, okay?" The girl sighed softly.

"That's impossible," Marukolo said, moving closer. "Those bandits have a custom of eating the flesh and blood of their enemies. There's no way that guest is still... intact."

"Even if we can only take back a part of him, we must bury him! This is the tradition of the Avarosans!"

"Tradition should give way to matters concerning tribal interests."

"Can……"

Ash lowered her eyes, unable to think of any rebuttal for a moment.

Seeing this, Marukolo was secretly delighted and moved a little closer.

Then came the final onslaught: "Ashe, you don't have to feel overly guilty or sad. That guest is in this state himself. No one forced him to deal with those bandits, right? He insisted on doing this himself."

Hearing this, Ashe didn't say anything, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter what Cheng Xiao's purpose was, his behavior was definitely worthy of the title of a brave man - at least for the Avarosa tribe.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Marukolo thought that his words were effective and gradually became bolder - he could not tolerate Ashe risking everything for a man, and now was a good time to belittle Cheng Xiao's image in Ashe's heart.

"Ashe, if you believe in my vision and wisdom as a frost priest, I must tell you that Mr. Cheng Xiao is not as good as you think."

"He took the initiative to go out and deal with the bandits not because he was brave, enthusiastic, or grateful, but simply because he wanted to curry favor with you."

"He took on this important task beyond his capabilities, hoping you would look up to him and warm to him. Little did he know that this would only bring trouble to our tribe. Look, now you are desperate to save him. This is exactly what he wants. This is all in his plan."

As he spoke, Marukolo slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Ash's beautiful blonde hair.

"He was simply attracted by your status as the heir to the Avarosa clan and your beauty. He is just a scheming—"

"That's enough." The girl's cold voice interrupted Marukolo's slander.

She took a half step back to avoid the other person's outstretched hand, her eyes revealing deep disappointment and disgust.

She was even unwilling to use her hands to open the other person's hands.

"I am disappointed in you, Master Frost Priest. I never thought you would look upon a brave man, a worthy warrior, in this light."

"Ashe, it's not like that. That's not what I meant. You have to think about it..." Marukolo tried to make amends in surprise.

Unfortunately, Ashe won't give him any chance.

Originally, she had a good impression of the only doctor in the tribe, but the words just now made her feel disgusted.

This young man, who is not much different from her in age... actually has such disgusting thoughts.

She suddenly felt that all the ambitions, ideas and values ​​that the other party had told her were mixed with hypocrisy.

"Avarosans never speak ill of others behind their backs, much less use such vile language to slander a warrior who fought a formidable foe for his tribe... I'm very disappointed in you, Marukolo. Perhaps I've always had too high expectations of you. After all, you don't have the blood of our Avarosans flowing in your veins."

"This...Ashe..." Things turned out to be completely opposite to what Marukolo had imagined, and he was stunned on the spot.

And Ashe was too lazy to listen to his nonsense anymore.

"You can report me to my mother for running away, or tell everyone that I risked my life for an outsider. But please don't try to stop me, or I'll hit you."

"This is the belief I have always held, and no one can shake it."

After saying that, the girl roughly pushed Marukolo away and walked towards the valley with firm steps, and her pace was getting faster and faster.

Looking at the figure gradually moving away, the resentment in Marukolo's eyes reached its peak.

He couldn't understand the "belief" and "tradition" that Ashe mentioned. He just felt that it was the man named Cheng Xiao who made Ashe like this.

He suddenly felt like something of his was being taken away by someone else.

This feeling made him feel extremely depressed and angry.

"Mine, after all, can only be mine...!"

Marukolo almost couldn't help but release magic to tie up the advancing Ashe, but then he thought that Cheng Xiao was probably dead and felt relieved.

It would be even more satisfying to let Ashe watch the man being chopped into meat sauce with her own eyes!

Then I can come out and comfort Ai Xi in time, and then I can...

Thinking of this, Marukolo returned to his usual gentle demeanor.

"What I need to do now is to prevent those bandits from hurting my dear Ashe..."

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

"Monster... He's a monster...!"

At the moment when blood splattered, the robber's terrified screams before death were heard in the valley.

Cheng Xiao smiled and pulled out the iron sword, the worn blade almost stuck in the enemy's bones.

The ground was covered with minced meat and blood, and the overturned fire stake was filled with the aroma of roasting human tissue, some of his enemies' and some of his own.

This morbid battle made him feel like he was back in the Black Rose's laboratory... and the glorious execution grounds of Noxus. It wasn't something to be happy about, but the fight that transcended fear was truly difficult to extricate himself from.

"More, more..."

Cheng Xiao swung his sword to cut off his lame left leg, and the new flesh and bone stood up again with a creepy sound.

Such a perverted fighting method almost made the bandits lose their will to fight - this deformed magic must be the devil's secret technique from the dark abyss!

An atmosphere of fear permeated the valley, but the desire to survive prevented the bandits from putting down their weapons.

They howled and shouted as they rushed forward, trying to end this crazy battle with their numerical advantage.

Cheng Xiao did not shy away from the fight either, and fought with a bold and aggressive style, completely disregarding his own life.

He hasn't fully studied the skills yet.

What's the upper limit of the damage a corpse explosion can cause? Is the corrosiveness chemical or biological? Can a missing limb explode on its own?

He hasn't figured out these issues yet.

He plunged his notched sword into the neck of one bandit and allowed several others to pierce his body.

He was ready to wait for death and then explode beautifully.

But just as he was about to fight the bandits, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

A beautiful blond girl climbed up the slope, her face full of worry.

She saw what was happening here.

Surprised, regretful, sad, self-blaming... She knew she was too late.

Just a step too late.

She could only watch with her own eyes as Cheng Xiao was pierced through the body by a sword.

If she had arrived earlier... just a little, a few seconds... if she hadn't had those few words with Marukolo because of their friendship... if she had been able to run faster...

She could have saved Cheng Xiao...

She could have…

"Do not……"

Chapter 5: Fighting, awesome!

Cheng Xiao originally wanted to self-destruct again to blow up all the bandits, but the appearance of Ashe made him give up this idea.

After all, this is a bit too annoying.
