The Glory of Noxus

Noxian Frontier.

The north wind is howling and the sky is covered with heavy snow.

On the winding iceberg snow road, there was a group of four people, wearing gray-white fur cloaks, walking slowly forward.

Under the sparse snow, Huo Jixing's expression became increasingly pale, and with his body shaped like a withered bone, he looked a bit scary.

Although there were no looters chasing him during this journey, it was still difficult for him as he was still injured.

If it weren't for the powerful healing power of the South Li Fire, he doubted that he might have been able to get out of the boundless Freljord.

Breathing out a breath of frost, Huo Jixing lowered his eyes, and dark green data flow filled his pupils.

[Name: Huo Jixing (seriously injured)]

【Quality: 0】

[Strength: 1.55 (-0.3)]

[Physique: 1.62 (-0.27)]

[Agility: 1.69 (-0.23)]

[Spirit: 3.43 (+0.21)]

[Skills: Intermediate warrior, wilderness survival]

[Talent: Suzaku]

From the expanded data panel, it can be clearly seen that attributes such as strength, physique, and agility are affected by the serious injury state and have a corresponding decrease.

Only the spiritual attribute is still outstanding, increasing instead of decreasing, far exceeding other data.

In addition to his mental attributes, Huo Jixing also digested the gains from the encounter during the difficult return journey.

In terms of skills, he has improved slightly.

Be broad-minded and knowledgeable, dedicated and refined.

Huo Jixing plans to continue training in swordsmanship after returning to the camp, and may be able to return to [Advanced Warrior].

In terms of [Talent·Suzaku], after this period of exploration and experimentation, Huo Jixing gained a deeper understanding and also analyzed the reasons that made him unbearably hungry and thirsty.

Under normal conditions, the Nanli Fire given by [Talent: Suzaku] can strengthen and improve physical fitness without loss.

From this point alone, we can see the metamorphosis of talent and the fundamental changes it brings.

However, once Huo Jixing starts to truly use the power of Nanli Fire, he must provide enough [firewood] for burning.

As for [firewood], Huo Jixing understood it as his own flesh and blood.

The hunger that almost made him lose his mind before was because he used too much power of Nanli Fire.

Although he killed many marauders, beast spirit apprentices and frost-tooth giant wolves in one fell swoop, he turned the tide and helped the building to collapse.

But the price afterwards was too much for him to bear. He almost fell into animality and killing because of hunger and thirst, and was unable to extricate himself.

As for the moves he unconsciously used in that encounter.

【Suzaku · Flurry】

It can be said to be the epiphany of life and death, or the spark of inspiration given by [Talent·Suzaku].

Even now, his mind is still somewhat immersed in the violent flames not long ago. The brilliant and terrifying power, like the rising sun, instantly suppressed the cold wind, frost and snow, wrapped in the extremely noisy flames, and destroyed everything. Everything it touches.

Of course, Huo Jixing also tasted the bitter consequences of dying.

Just swinging the sword to perform this move almost burned all the flesh and blood in his body.

Across the snowy road corner.

The scenery changes, and a towering barrier can be seen in the distance that looks like a vine clinging to the mountainside.

The crimson flags were fluttering, and the sound of drums and horns rang through the clouds.

"came back!"

In front of the snowy road, Eric stopped and looked at the majestic Noxian camp. His expression kept changing, and finally turned into a smile.

"Yes, I'm finally back!" Huo Jixing breathed a sigh of relief, his pale expression much more relaxed.

He looked back at DeWitt and Moore. Along the way, the two of them were not as afraid as before.

Influenced by moral concepts from his previous life, Huo Jixing still maintained a normal mentality after awakening to the extraordinary. Although their previous relationship had changed, they could still have normal conversations without being arrogant or bossy.

Looking into the distance, Huo Jixing stared at the snow-covered Freljord under the sunset, with many emotions welling up in his heart.

It was just a normal scout mission, but due to a sudden encounter, the Noxian scout team that was full at the time of departure was reduced to only four people when they returned, and they all suffered minor or serious injuries.

"Noxus, Claw of Winter!"

Huo Jixing thought about this war that would continue, shook his head slightly, and followed Eric's footsteps towards the camp.

The mountain road paved with bluestones extended from the foot of the mountain to the camp, and a long red crowd seemed to pour down. Occasionally, some Noxian cavalry squads could be seen escorting carriages covered with linen, galloping into the distance.

Walking along the bluestone road, the state of Huo Jixing and his party quickly attracted everyone's attention.

The blood-stained and damaged armor, the embarrassed and wounded figure, and the faint smell of blood surrounding him made every Noxian soldier who passed by look at him in awe.

The Noxus camp is located on the mountainside, about 40 to 50 kilometers away from the Freljord. In addition, the cold wind, frost and snow along the way have not washed away the smell of blood. You can imagine the battles that have been experienced. How tragic.

There were no obstacles or unexpected hiccups.

Captain Eric took Huo Jixing and the others into the Noxian camp safely.

In front of the rest area, Eric looked at the tired Huo Jixing in front of him and said softly: "Go back and rest first. I will report on this scout mission and your awakening."

Huo Jixing twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a grateful smile: "Thank you very much, Captain Ten. I'll leave first then!"

He really couldn't stand it anymore, especially after returning to the Noxus camp, he seemed to have lifted a huge burden, and he only felt physically and mentally exhausted and weak.

Hurrying back to the stone house, Huo Jixing opened the wooden door and fell asleep without washing at all, snoring gradually.

The next morning.

The winter sun was a bit chilly, falling like icy rain on every corner of the camp.

Huo Jixing opened his bloodshot eyes and looked through the narrow window at the crimson color remaining in the sky. He then rubbed his tired face, stood up quickly, and walked towards the canteen of the camp.

He woke up from hunger!

Ever since he experienced the hunger that nearly destroyed his sanity, Huo Jixing had hunger and thirst added to his list of annoying options.

The Noxian camp's dining hall is located at the edge of the rest area.

It's said to be a canteen, but it's more like a place where you eat big pots of rice. Huge iron pots are filled with different foods and placed on the dining table.

Perhaps it was too early, and there were not many people in the spacious canteen.

Huo Jixing received a rice bowl from the soldier who was serving food. It was filled with food, mostly vegetables, mixed with some meat, and a few thick pieces of flour cake piled on top.

Randomly finding a corner, Huo Jixing started to devour it without caring about the image.

After a cup of tea, he finished a bowl of food and his stomach was somewhat full.

He wanted to grab some more, but considering that his body was still seriously injured, he waited until he had finished digesting it and had some more at noon.

After cleaning the rice bowl, Huo Jixing walked back slowly, digesting the food while observing the changes in the camp.

More than half a month had passed, and the camp seemed increasingly solemn. The clouds of war shrouded the inside and outside, and many Noxian soldiers were seen looking in a hurry.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of the destroyed Noxian outpost, and his heart sank.

The border, which was already filled with smoke, seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction, and as soldiers of the Noxian Chapter, they all fell into the vortex of war involuntarily.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a red and gray robe, stopping in front of his stone house.
