Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 14 : LET'S RUN, FOX

“It’s the ice tornado!” The beastmen dropped their tools and fled in the opposite direction in panic.

Mutu yelled at Shang Ke, who was still in a daze, while running wildly, “Fox, run!”

Shang Ke understood and immediately turned and fled. The two people were separated by the lake. They each went their way according to the side they were at and soon ran in different directions.

The ice tornado moved to this side at an extremely fast speed, and whirlwinds like ice blades made howling sounds like a sharp blade cutting through the air. Wherever it passed, the ice flashed and the chill was oppressing.

Mutu watched helplessly as the fox disappeared from his sight. He felt anxious but couldn’t do anything. However, after a long time, something even more frightening happened. The ice tornado swept across the lake and circled to the direction the fox had escaped to.

Those who stood on one side with Mutu were out of danger, but Shang Ke and a few who fled to the other side were in a crisis.

Shang Ke ran so fast that he didn’t even dare to look back. The fields were empty, and it seemed that he was the only one left on earth. He could only hear his own rapid pants and the howling sound behind him which was getting closer.

Strong winds were invisible and unavoidable. Even if there was only one gap, it could still get in, not to mention there was no place here to hide from the wind .

Shang Ke felt a chill on his back, and his death was just one step away. At the moment of crisis, a fast-flowing river suddenly appeared ahead. His eyes lit up and he jumped without thinking.

When his body left the ground, a layer of frost had already formed on the tip of his tail. A plopping sound was heard, and the ice of death whizzed past the river. freezing the water wave that just splashed into the air. Like a blooming ice flower, it flashed a cold light in the winter.

The rushing river was also frozen into an ice stream, trapping Shang Ke under the ice.

Shang Ke held his breath, holding the aquatic plants in one hand while hammering the ice above his head with the other. Although the ice was not very thick, Shang Ke, whose body was underwater and stiff due to the cold, couldn’t exert enough energy. His brain seems to have lost its thinking ability, his fingers were numb, and his heart seemed as if it would stop beating any moment.

The sealed and cold glacier was full of despair and fear. While he was in a daze, a familiar figure seemed to have appeared in front of him, and the memories of the past were coming to him like a flood, happy, painful, sad and beautiful …

No, I can’t die!

   
Shang Ke’s spirit was reinvigorated. He bit his teeth, pulled out his dagger from his waist with difficulty, and thrust backhandedly at the ice above his head with every last of his strength. With a cracking sound, a crack appeared in the ice.

Shang Ke chiseled again and again, and finally broke through the ice layer successfully before he lost his strength.

He quickly rushed out of the ice and stabbed the dagger deep into the snow. He kept his figure fixed to that spot with a dagger so as not to slip back into the water.

After all this, he didn’t have any more energy. He gasped wearily. Thick white mist exhaled from his mouth. A cold wind blew, bringing snowflakes. His hair, eyelashes, eyes, arms and upper body soon formed a thin layer of frost.

It was white all around, and there was no voice. Shang Ke leaned half of his body against the shore, and the other half still underwater, unable to move. He couldn’t speak, couldn’t ask for help. He could only feebly pick lay on the shore accumulating snow and shiver in the cold.
