Chapter 5171 Final Choice
This old man, who already looked a little thin, stood out among this group of burly and strong people. But when the old man spoke, the entire team immediately fell silent.
Whether it was the two people who were still arguing before or the few people around who wanted to join the argument, they all looked at the old man at this time. When they saw the old man wanting to speak, they all chose to shut up temporarily and listen carefully.
The old man's slightly cloudy eyes slowly swept over the crowd. His eyes contained many indescribable emotions, but his wrinkled face was as calm as an ancient well.
The old man seemed to have experienced too many storms, so no matter how fierce the argument was, he just said one sentence and the contradictory atmosphere around him was instantly relieved.
"If we didn't care about our ancestors' teachings, why did we move thousands of miles back to this place when we faced that incident?
At that time, those forces targeting us blocked our return one by one, and we suffered huge losses as a result. If we had chosen other directions and destinations, our people would not have been the only ones left. "
While the old man was speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to his side, and everyone looked around subconsciously. Even though everyone knew exactly how many people there were in their team, after hearing the old man's words, it was a different feeling when they looked around. .??.
The former Icefield Clan was not comparable to an empire, but it was not too different. If it hadn't been for the roaring beast Zhentian of the monster clan who led his strong men to explore the eight-door locked space and was trapped, perhaps the Yelin Empire would no longer exist, and even the Xuanwu Empire might have given up part of its territory to the monster beasts. One clan and the Icefield clan.
But there are so many what-ifs in the world. After Zhentian and other powerful men were trapped, it directly led to the complete decline of the monster clan. If it were not for the special features of the Tianping Mountains, I am afraid that the clan would have been completely exterminated by now.
In that case, the Icefield Clan would naturally not be able to benefit, especially with the joint efforts of the Yelin Empire, Xuanwu Empire, Fengtian Dynasty and Prairie Tribe, the Icefield Clan would not be able to fight at all.
In the final battle between the Monster Clan and the Ice Plains Tribe against various empires and forces, they were finally completely defeated. Almost a quarter of the Ice Plains Clan and Monster Beasts perished in that battle.
Don't underestimate the number of a quarter, you must know that it is equivalent to the loss of the strongest part of the combat power. The remaining monster beasts can only retreat to the deepest part of the Tianping Mountains in embarrassment, relying on the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth for protection. However, in such an environment, it is difficult for the monster beasts to practice and improve their strength.
If you go out, you will be rounded up immediately.
As for the Icefield clan, they simply could not survive in the violent aura in the core area of the Tianping Mountains. Leaving was their only choice at that time.
At that time, the Icefield Clan still had tens of thousands of people, and there had been disagreements over whether to return to their ancestral land or find another place to stay.
In the end, the clan elders with the highest status in the clan chose to follow their ancestral precepts and return to their ancestral land despite all difficulties. The price of this choice is that now, there are only a few hundred people left in this Icefield clan.
Most of the other members of the Ice Plains tribe died in battle while breaking through the layers of blockades, and some died after reluctantly returning to their ancestral land due to serious injuries and lack of good treatment conditions.
The living environment of the ice tribe in the ancestral land is very harsh, so even after hundreds of years have passed, the number of the tribe has not increased.
These ice tribesmen are actually on the verge of complete despair. They feel that leaving the far north ice field has become a luxury hope and dream.
But they didn't expect that in their lifetime, they would be able to see the ancestral land open again, and there would be a day when they could leave the ancestral land again. Facing the reopening of the ancestral land, the shadow left many years ago is still imprinted in the minds of everyone who has experienced it.
Many people have hesitated about where to go. Those who want to leave are worried, while those who don't want to leave can't help but yearn for the outside world.
However, the increasingly harsh environment of the ancestral land and the ancestral precepts made everyone finally choose to walk out of the ancestral land.
But even after leaving their ancestral land, the Icefield Tribe has no intention of leaving the Far North Icefield, at least for the time being. Without even thinking about where to go, everyone had no choice but to follow the guidance of their ancestors and headed in this direction until they arrived at the iceberg.
Over the years, countless powerful people in Kunxuan Continent have explored the Far North Icefield in depth, but they have never seen the glacier ridge in front of them, let alone this special-shaped iceberg. Therefore, after everyone sees an iceberg, it is natural to pay special attention to it and be able to roughly guess the specific situation inside the iceberg.
On the contrary, the people of the Icefield Tribe have been trapped in their ancestral land for many years. Not to mention the Kunxuan Continent, they don't know much about the situation in the extreme northern icefield. Along the way, whether you see this glacier or the
When they came to this upside-down iceberg, they didn't feel anything was wrong, but the current state of the iceberg made them feel a little strange.
Although when they first arrived, some people suggested finding a way to explore the inside of the iceberg, but this proposal was quickly rejected by most people.
Because if they follow the ancestral teachings, they cannot explore the iceberg, but if the iceberg is really damaged, they can repair it.
If no one else is there when the Icefield tribesmen come here, there may be tribesmen who want to explore the iceberg. However, the internal situation of the iceberg was unknown, and there were so many people watching it, so naturally they did not dare to act rashly.
As for the matter of repairing the iceberg, even if someone wants to follow the ancestral precepts, it will never be possible without special assistance. So even if there are requirements put forward by ancestral precepts, no one really intends to follow them.
Until the surrounding cold wind suddenly became biting, in the eyes of other warriors, this meant that the environment was about to become very bad, but in the eyes of the Icefield clan, this was a harbinger of new changes.
Others haven't noticed anything unusual yet, but everyone in the Icefield clan can sense it in advance. That's because of their bloodline, because of the techniques they practice, and because their bodies naturally have the ability to sense these.
When most of them are still hesitating whether to evacuate from the Arctic ice sheet now, or how to deal with the weather that may become increasingly severe in the future. The people of the Icefield clan began to discuss whether they should follow the requirements of their ancestors.
When everyone looked at the old man again, they found that he had turned his head to look at the sky. His cloudy old eyes seemed to be unable to see anything clearly, but everyone knew that the old man could see as much as everyone else, and even more than others. Want to see more.
After a moment, the old man looked away, and his unwavering face became even more gloomy at this time.
"From the moment we stepped out of our ancestral land, the fate of the Icefield clan has changed. But whether it will get better or worse depends on all of you."
Everyone can understand that the old man intends to leave the decision-making power in everyone's hands. It's just that the old man obviously didn't finish what he said, so no one said anything and just listened quietly.
The old man quickly continued: "Are we going to continue to survive in the arctic ice field, or are we going to leave here and go outside?"
No one expected that the old man would suddenly ask such a question
Question, for a moment you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't understand?" A wry smile appeared on the old man's face, and then he explained: "If we decide to stay in the far north ice field from now on, then we don't need to pay attention to the ancestral teachings and just hide on this ice field. Maybe some tribesmen will be found, killed or captured by them, but some will be able to continue hiding. "
"What about the future?" The man named Maggie couldn't help but frown and asked.
The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "Keep hiding, as long as you are not captured or killed, then you will hide like this until your life is exhausted."
When everyone heard what the old man said, they all showed difficulty in accepting it for a while, and some even turned red because of their anger.
"Unwilling?" The old man sighed, and then said: "You also know that the outside world cannot tolerate us, and if we want to set foot on Kunxuan Continent again, we must follow the instructions of our ancestors."
"Can't we go out on our own and find a place where our clan can live?" The man named Yashan couldn't help but ask.
"I think you should know that outside the Far North Icefield, almost everything belongs to the Yelin Empire, and a small part of it borders the Xuanwu Empire. These two empires had a big feud with our clan back then. Do you think if they find out that our clan appears, and How will they deal with us after leaving the Arctic Icefield?"
After a pause, the old man continued: "Even if we leave our ancestral land quietly, it will be difficult to find a place to live on Kunxuan Continent, let alone so many pairs of eyes seeing us."
The eyes of many people dimmed suddenly. Just as the old man said, staying in the Arctic ice sheet and lingering was definitely not the outcome they hoped for.
Because it was like prey in a huge hunting ground, and those human warriors could come in and hunt them anytime and anywhere. Apart from hiding in Tibet, they had no power to resist at all.
However, if they follow the ancestral teachings, they do not think that the Icefield clan can live the life they hope for. After all, they had been trapped in their ancestral land for too many years. Not only had their hope been wiped away, but even their despair had been wiped away, leaving more of a kind of numbness.
"Since I said that everyone will choose the next path, I will not decide for you. Changes will appear soon, and you can choose what to do when the time comes. I just hope that everyone will not regret this choice. Maybe this It’s the last choice for each of us... and our entire Icefield clan.”
