Ansgar, who was jogging in the snow, had to stop when he saw Kaj fall, which seemed to have lost consciousness.
"Derick, stand guard while I check on Kaj's condition."
After saying those words, Ansgar ran to where Kaj was lying, who was starting to shake as his mouth began to foam.
With his hands, he turned Kaj's body, and taking off his leather glove, he touched his trembling forehead where he could feel that he was suffering from a fever. "Elof, I want you to help me carry Ansgar, also put a piece of meat in his mouth, or he could bite language."
Hearing Ansgar's order, Elof took a large piece of roasted bear meat from his backpack and handed it to Ansgar, who put it in Kaj's mouth and then turned his body, avoiding it to be on its back.
"According to my father, shocks only occur in two kinds of people, those who have a high fever or those who are cursed by Loki.
They should also never be left on their backs as they can choke on their tongues. "
Elof looked at Ansgar curiously. "Your father must have been a very wise person, or he must have had many experiences in his youth."
Ansgar shook his head as he got a bit melancholic. "My mother suffered from shaking, so my father had to learn how to prevent her from getting hurt.
Perhaps the best thing that could have happened to her was to have died in the sea along with the rest of our tribe since many times as a child, I remember seeing her suffer frequent shaking. "
Derik, who was caring, got a little nervous when he could see a white bear's silhouette in the distance. "Ansgar, I think we have a bear coming where we are."
Ansgar exhaled and took his crossbow. "We will have to endure in this place until Kaj is better.
We don't know where to walk, and if we go another way, we might end up lost, and there are only white bears without any existing settlement in this place. "
Elof just gave Kaj a glance and also readied his crossbow.
While the three of them were preparing, the white bear that had been following their trail could only stick its tongue out because it could taste the meat of its future prey.
Since he was able to taste a piece of human meat a few kilometers before, the taste of that meat has not been removed.
The white bear kept running until he could see three men who were looking at him, showing their teeth, and started running towards them.
As the white bear approached, Ansgar could see that the white bear's mouth was full of blood, and there was also a piece of cloth in it.
A look of hatred formed on his face. "For this damn white bear, I want to get shot in the paws as it appears to be one of the bears that killed our partner Galt.
Since he's too stupid to come for us, I think it won't matter if we make him suffer before we end his life. "
Derick and Elof just nodded and pointed their crossbows at the bear's paws; when he was close to them, Ansgar screamed, and they all pulled the trigger on his crossbow.
The running white bear could only feel a horrible pain in its paws that made it fall into the snow, where it crawled for a few meters due to the speed at which it was running.
Seeing the white bear that was roaring in pain in the snow, Ansgar slowly walked over to where he was.
After arriving, he looked into the black eyes of the white bear with hatred "White beast, you killed and devoured one of our companions, but that was not enough for a beast like you.
You were following us in order to kill us, but unfortunately for you ... "
Ansgar loaded his crossbow and aimed at one of the white bear's knees and then shot it. "You met me a warrior who is not afraid to take revenge."
The white bear glared at Ansgar but could not move to retaliate, so he could only roar each time his knees were pierced by the steel bolts.
After making sure that the white bear's paws were completely destroyed, Ansgar took a rope and mounted it on the white bear.
In a desperate attempt, the bear tried to bite the human that was on him, but all his efforts were useless since not being able to move his legs, he could only try to use his mouth.
Ansgar watched the movement of the white bear's neck carefully for a few seconds before launching himself on its neck as he used his rope to tie the white bear's jaws.
When he felt his mouth being squeezed by a rope, the white bear made one last effort to free himself, so he shook his back as hard as he could, hoping that the man on him would fall.
But unfortunately, Ansgar, who had experience riding a horse, only clung to the bear's neck as it shook itself.
When the pain was greater than his desire to survive, the white bear stopped the movement of his back and only began to make some noises of pain that were heard in a soft way because his mouth was completely tied.
Ansgar only frowned upon seeing the white bear cry, so he got off his back and stood in front of the bear's head.
In front of the white bear, he put his hand on the forehead of that beast and gave him a smile. "I'm sure our partner suffered a lot while you and your companions ate him alive.
But in the same way, you will suffer a lot since you are condemned to be eaten by other white bears, or perhaps your destiny is to starve in this place.
Whatever your destiny, it won't be enough to avenge Galt's death. "
When he finished speaking, Ansgar turned around and looked at Derick, who was standing guard. "Help Elof carry Kaj since we have to move.
If this white bear was following us, we run the risk that others may come where we are. "
Derick put his crossbow on his shoulder and turned around; for his part, Ansgar only took the most valuable things and left everything that was not indispensable in the snow.
'I just hope that we can reach the forest by following this same path; otherwise, we will only end up getting lost in this inhospitable land.'
