A few years later, a story was told in the orc world, a history that witnessed the friendship between humans and orcs.At that time, Hoof Shadow, who had become the Great Elder of the Centaur Clan, wrote to me, reminiscing about the life and death disasters experienced during the trip to the wasteland when he was young, and also mentioned Qige, saying that many orcs thought that at that time, an orc wolf boy and three Terran boys and girls rode the Yagui beast to save the suffering poor orcs in the wasteland, and in that era of great famine, just a campfire or a handful of green salt could save the life of an orc.The beautiful dividing line was actually very conflicted in our hearts at that time, because after our group of four people were sacked by this small team of lion and tiger bandits, although they gained a lot, most of the frost scrolls they relied on were consumed, especially when Miss Qi told us that the scrolls that gave the robbers a head-on blow were all strengthened with a first-level potion of ice grass worth more than 100 gold, and it was already very good that ordinary frost scrolls could frostbite the horse's legs, which made our rapidly expanding hearts immediately cold.Ordinary Frost Scrolls!
This thing is also very good, so I use it when I catch it.Without the saltwater pond, without the old and weak demon antelope, what else can we people catch?
In the wasteland, trying to keep the adult demon antelope with a bow and arrow alone is tantamount to a fool's dream.Their running speed can be said to be in the top three among all the first-level magical beasts in the entire wasteland, and they are timid by nature, and they will flee when there is a wind and grass, the only weakness is that they have a very strong curiosity, and they will always want to find out when they encounter abnormal things, and there is such a saying in the wasteland: curiosity kills a demon antelope.Traps made from ordinary frost scrolls are still very effective for demon hunters.But for us after a bloody battle, we deeply realize how powerful the catchers in the wasteland are, so the more we fight, the more timid we become, without the enhanced Frost Scroll protection, we really want to avoid everyone in the wasteland, this trip to the wasteland has far more than we imagined, I have begun to discuss with Kuz to find a shortcut back to Gurudin's town is the first thing.Especially at this time, it is best for our team not to be in the limelight, with the Gathering Fire Scroll and Salt, for the other orcs, these are the most valuable treasures in the wasteland, we dare not easily give away the Gathering Fire Scroll we have to others, for fear that it will cause the evil intentions of some powerful people, but we can't see these poor people suffering, this is our contradictory thinking.In particular, Kuz couldn't see the suffering of the poor ordinary trappers in the wasteland, who even came to the wasteland to adventure just for a mouthful of food to fill their stomachs, but in the absence of fuel and salt, it was difficult for the orcs to maintain their combat strength, and the lack of salt was very fatal, and the body was in a state of collapse.Drinking raw water for a long time can breed parasites in the body at least and get sick at worst, and in this wasteland, disease is almost equal to death, and not every good hand knows herbalism.Every time after the entanglement, when I meet and see the really poor orcs, I still can't help but throw the scrolls in the backpack out, and casually check out some of the things we can use from their packages, these poor orc groups, few people can kill the demon antelope independently, and if we can't find the magic antelope skin that we need the most, we will pick some magic herbs that can be used, which is the happiest moment for Miss Qi.Simply, in the end, we can only disguise our small team as a small caravan, I and Qige, Katerina are all humans, in the wasteland, it is not uncommon for human caravans to come to buy leather, animal tendons, and magical herbs, so it makes sense, Kuzi became the guide of our small team, but our original intention was to disguise our true identity with such an identity, protect ourselves, and try our best to help the poor orcs on the grassland, so that when we exchange goods, we always have to pretend to be novices who are not very knowledgeable, sometimes, Even a basket of sweet potatoes had been exchanged for a fire-gathering scroll, just because in that orc family, the little boy had diarrhea for several days in a row, and when we saw his little sallow face and deeply sunken eye sockets, we didn't care about any principles.Miss Qi is a potions master, and magicians who practice potions must have one thing, that is, they all need to be proficient in herbal medicine, so the decoction carefully prepared by Miss Qi is not difficult to save the werewolf boy, and his parents were desperately thankful at the time, and the sunset was shining, and we only left a long shadow.The beautiful dividing line has been followed by the Urutu River to the southwest for nine days, where the Urutu River turns straight south, splits a deep valley road between the mountains of Yelian Mountain, flows through the Yelian Mountain Range through the town of Gurudin, and finally turns into hundreds of tributaries at the Baipu Cliff on the westernmost side of the Pai Plateau, directly from the peak of the kilometer high, forming several waterfalls into the Benma River that surrounds the mountains at the western foot of the Pai Plateau.The road is also a shortcut through the Yelian Mountains to the town of Gurudin.It's just that the ancient plank road is not too wide, and even the Yagui beast can only barely pass on the plank road.Normally, caravans with Thunder Rhinos would not choose this route, and it would not work at all, but many orcs liked to take this route, going from the northern wasteland to Gurudin's town to sell leather and herbs.Our team also chose this route and went back to the town of Gurudin.These days, after that heavy rain, the grass has grown wildly in the wasteland, and the whole wasteland has become a sea of green.Standing on the high hill and looking into the distance, when the wind blows, you can see waves of turquoise waves rising and falling, which is very spectacular.In the evening, when we were encamped on the high post, Kuzi's face became ugly, he had just taken a short turn outside with an alloy bow on his back, and brought back a gray goose, which seemed to be very fat, and if it were usual, he would have boasted to me proudly that he was so good at archery that he could shoot down geese flying in the sky, but not tonight, but he was silently plucking his feathers on the side, and refused to say a word.Caterina looked a little uneasy, and her eyes would always look into the distance in confusion, but in such a dusk, among the knee-high weeds, even if there was a beast lurking, it would be difficult for us to find it.There was silence all around, and before I set up the stove temporarily, I put a scroll of fire under the iron pot, which was filled with water, and Caterina put all the mutton left over from the yellow sheep hunted at noon into the pot, and sat beside me and whispered to me: "Jia, I always feel that my heart is not very good, I am always very panicked, very afraid!"
”These days, after a baptism of battle, Caterina rarely shows timidity, and the yellow sheep at noon was the one she chased after with her dagger alone, and slashed the throat of the yellow sheep with a knife.Now she actually told me that she was scared for no reason, which is a bit weird.I guess this danger does not come from the beast, a guy with an upright personality like Kutz would never tolerate a beast lurking around us, his survival instinct can make it easy for him to feel the breath of the beast, and now he has a dark face, but just silently cooks the goose, and I find that this is not good, probably the thing we fear the most has happened.The only explanation is that someone is secretly following us!
And these people made Kuzi just hide and sulk."
Az!"
I looked up at him, sometimes between our brothers, there are some things that he already understands what I mean without saying them, this little orc who seems to be a little simple, in fact, is still very delicate in his heart."
Humph!
It's that they don't know what to do, if they dare to come over, I'll deal with it!
”When Kuzi spoke, there was some hatred and anger, but there was also a lot of helplessness and reluctance.His eyes were fixed on the meadow in the distance at dusk, one hand clenched into a fist, and I noticed that his legs were shaking.I guess at such a life-threatening time, the only thing that can make Kuz still unbearable is the group of orcs we helped during the day who are about to starve to death.These orcs come from the same orc tribe, it can be said that they are a small werewolf tribe attached to the blood wolf clan in Guruding Town, they are located on the edge of the remote death swamp, in such an era of great famine, the leader of the orc tribe took them to the northern wasteland to beg for a living, which can be regarded as a very helpless move.But this is not the worst, this small tribe of wolves is almost more than two hundred people, but two-thirds of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, the young and strong werewolves participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the gray dwarves last year, the men of their tribe are not very lucky, those warriors were surrounded and annihilated in a battle, almost all of them died, when they came to the northern foothills of the wasteland, only the big chief of the tribe was a warrior, and the whole tribe except for women and children only had some old werewolves whose teeth were lost.I remember when we saw a group of werewolf children and wolf women squatting on the grass to dig sweet grass roots, my heart was very sour.In the northern foothills of the wasteland, where monsters are rampant, a group of children as big as me are actually squatting in the grass, digging some grass roots for food.The older children would take care of the younger ones, and the wolf women didn't even have leather armor on them, but wore the simplest sheepskin skirts, and they were a group of poor natives, and I didn't understand why such a group of people would come to the wasteland to beg for a living.We stopped the Agui beast and asked the wolf girl who was sitting next to me, she looked about the same age as me, but she was very thin and sallow in her face, and she was surrounded by a very simple wool yellow sheepskin, and she was holding a blade of grass to weave insects, and she was looking after a group of five or six year-old werewolf children, and I went to ask her: Why are you digging grass roots here to eat?
She told us that the great chief of their tribe was bitten by the wind wolf when he led people to kill a group of wasteland wind wolves the day before yesterday, and the rest of the men ran back, and they were no longer able to hunt large beasts, and these days the children and women of the tribe had to come out to dig wild vegetables, otherwise everyone would starve to death.This tribe is a distant relative of Kuz's blood wolf tribe, so we didn't think much about it at the time, so we gave them most of the salted meat floss we carried, but we didn't expect that this group of werewolves would follow us to the camp at night.
