Our team was already very close to drowning, the low-lying puddles of the moorland were already visible, the pastures were noticeably more abundant, and it was less than four days' journey from the Quarry of the North Gully, and it would take less than a day to run a round trip on a fast horse.There was no desolation in sight of the wasteland, and the puddles of water were like twinkling stars in the night sky, sprinkled with golden scales under the reflection of the setting sun.Knee-high wild brackens grow around puddles, and the tender leaves are tempting for every orc.The edible wild vegetables in the four fields are clumped like weeds, shepherd's cabbage, wheel grass, wild radish, and water celery.Gerille took Kuz's hand and ran to a plant full of green heart-shaped leaves, drew the knife hanging from his waist, cut off the young stems of the vines, and tossed them aside, the knife plunged deep into the wet earth, and thrust it up with all his might, and a large piece of brown dirt was pulled out with a large bunch of sweet potatoes.This place is unexpectedly inaccessible, and the orcs really don't dare to set foot here in order to avoid the swamp zombies, even the orcs in the quarry, seeing the wild vegetables everywhere, can't help but bend down, quickly pinch a handful of tender wild vegetable leaves, and stuff them into their mouths and chew regardless of the image.Even these days, the orc overseers in these quarries can eat a lot of food at every meal, maybe they are starving too hard, and they still can't help but want to eat a bite when they see these edible wild vegetables.But in addition, I began to notice that the orc overseers in the quarries, who usually liked to eat enough, except for whipping the gray dwarf slaves, but only teasing the orcs of the Raitu tribe, began to look cautious, and they began to honestly shrink on either side of the gray dwarf slave ranks, silently following our large army.The number of swamp zombies roaming in the wilderness began to increase, and I could even see several swamp corpse kings on the hill in the distance, their unusually tall figures were silently watching us in the crowd of corpses, and that invisible coercion began to affect our entire team, which was the real terrifying swamp zombies.When the orc warriors rode argali, as usual, to kill the swamp zombies in the marginal area, only after killing a dozen swamp zombies in succession.The swamp zombies roaming the wasteland retreated in the direction of Drowning at the same time.The orc overseers from the North Gulf Quarry came running over and told us that we couldn't go any further, that the zombies were already in ambush in front of us, waiting for us to come over, and wrap up our people and kill them.The Laitu tribe is a tribe located on the edge of the swamp.The female warriors of the Raitu beasts have been aware of the horrors of swamp zombies since they were young, and they are also very aware of their habits, zombies have almost no vision, day and night are not much different for them, the only difference is that the scorching sun will take away a lot of water from their bodies.For the Death Scythes of the Ghost Clan.In direct sunlight, their bodies turn into a puff of white smoke, and these death scythes hide in caves or cemeteries during the day, and only come out at night.The Swamp Corpse Kings are undead creatures with rudimentary intelligence, and they instinctively know what danger is, and if our team were a group of wandering deserters in the wasteland, I'm afraid they would have already covered up.And when they tentatively let ordinary swamp zombies come into contact with us, they found that the weapons in the hands of the orc warriors could easily pierce the thick armor on the zombies, and they could actually kill these slow-moving zombies.They didn't know what kind of means to use to recall all the zombies scattered in the wasteland.Since they couldn't go any further, Kuz told the team to stop and set up camp.At this time, the more than 1,000 gray dwarf slaves who followed the team, under the command of the orc overseer, began to get busy, almost every one of them carried a shovel and a pickaxe with him, and the dwarves were the best at building stoves and digging holes.Sure enough, it didn't take long for rows of neat manholes to be dug up, and a thick earthen wall half a meter high was built around the manholes.The orc warriors only had to put the hard cowhide they carried with them on top of the earthen wall, and prop up a roof that could shelter from the rain, and the earth kiln could be used by four or five orc girls to live.When this work was done, the gray dwarf slaves did not rest.They were still carrying shovels and silently digging trenches around the camp.Kuz and I don't know this, it's just the assignment of the orc overseers in the quarry, Kuz dragged me towards the head of the orc overseer in the quarry, I didn't like this thin-looking orc, I think he usually only takes advantage of the orcs in addition to bullying those gray dwarves.Kuzi casually pulled out a dried argali's hind leg from the cloth bag.He walked up with it in his hand, threw the hind legs of the argali, which weighed dozens of pounds, into the arms of the orc overseer, and almost smashed the dwarven overseer leader who was arrogantly reprimanding the gray dwarf slaves to work quickly, and then walked up cordially, put his arm around the dwarf overseer's shoulder, and no matter how sour the body was, they talked affectionately.In fact, there is nothing serious at all, just chatting about some and not, and connecting with feelings.I crouched down and watched quietly as a hungry gray dwarf old man struggled to dig a trench with a shovel, and the trench was already deep above his head, and every time he threw the remnants of the earth upward, he had no intention of stopping.I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How deep does this trench need to be dug?"
”"Dig as deep as you can!"
The old gray dwarf didn't lift his head, and answered my question in pure orc language."
How long will it take to keep digging like this?"
I kept asking.The old man of the gray dwarf raised his eyes and looked at me, and was a little surprised to see that I was a Terran child, but he still replied honestly: "Dig until you finish eating!"
”I don't understand why there is so much wild grass here, and the owner of Horsens almost starved the dwarves to death in the quarry.The orcs picked a lot of wild vegetables from the pasture, and I heard Gerille say that dinner was a very traditional porridge with wild vegetable batter, of course, the porridge of the Raitu orc warriors and the orc overseers in the quarry would be thicker, and some dried meat would be added, and the batter porridge of the gray dwarf slaves would probably not be much better than water, and weeds would be their staple food.I didn't want to listen to Kuz gossiping with the orc overseer, and while I agreed with Kuz's actions, it didn't mean I liked it.Walking around the camp casually, after watching Viruan set up his tent in the camp, he took advantage of the fact that it was not too late to lead the Gubolai horse out of the camp.I think their target should be the corpse kings on the hill in the distance.Viru and the others found an egg-sized core in the corpse king's skull brought out from Bangor Manor, and it was said that the magic crystal inside was twice the size of the magic core found in the normal zombie head.Presumably they wanted to try their luck this time and see if they had a chance to kill one again.I saw Sister Guoguo, dressed in white, also following the team, and it seemed that they were very determined this time.Squat down by the stove.Watching the beast girls of the Laitu tribe cook vegetable porridge, these women have been corrected countless times by me, and finally understand that wild vegetables should be carefully cleaned before they are put into the pot.To this day, I still don't dare to compliment the food they cook, even with the extremely finely ground wheat flour.They only boil batter, porridge, and bake cakes on stone slabs.As the population of the team increased dramatically, the maid Asakusa had told the cooks that they were not allowed to make brown bread and pancakes, which were too flour-intensive, so the food of the team had been very simple lately, just batter porridge with salt and jerky, and by the time they arrived at this place, the batter porridge had become vegetable porridge.Gerille and Asakusa were washing a pot of round white sweet potatoes on the edge of a puddle on the side, and it seemed that the two of them had come up with a good rapprochement, and there were two broatic chickens at Geril's feet.The feathered arrows on his body have not yet been pulled out.When they saw that I was on the sidelines, the maid Asakusa just looked at me curiously, but Gerile, who knew me very well, raised his face and jokingly said to me, "Young Master Jia, do you want to help us wash the potatoes together." ”After this thing is washed, even if it is peeled, cut into small pieces and blanched in the pot with water, it is difficult to remove the astringency inside, no wonder the Grimm Empire listed this as a food that can only be eaten by slaves.I didn't expect that the front foot had just dug up the sweet potato by Geril and Kuz.On the back foot, Grile found two broatin chickens and prepared to make a pot of delicious food according to Kuz's words.Anyway, I don't want to try what these two people make, they have no problem making barbecue.But for the rest, I don't even have the courage to taste it.Maybe when Sister Guoguo comes back in the evening, she can rub some delicious food with the Wind Chaser Adventure Group, Sister Guoguo's taste is quite normal.Listening to Geril's invitation, I quickly shook my head and ran away.On the other side of the puddle, a few orcs were washing a large amount of shepherd's cabbage, which was used to cook porridge for the gray dwarf slaves.The washed shepherd's cabbage was piled up on the grass beside it, and I saw only a small half-bag of black flour on the side, which seemed to be divided equally among the more than a thousand gray dwarf slaves, and even if they were thrown into the soup pot, they would not even look too thick.Thinking of the old grey dwarves standing in the trench and digging hard, I think they should have some better food, these grey dwarf slaves can't afford to collapse, and we still expect them to work for us in the future!
The tender green shepherd's cabbage that had been washed and made me think of the shepherd's cabbage dumplings I had eaten in my previous life, and for a while I suddenly became interested, so I mixed in with these beast girls and took them to make shepherd's cabbage dumplings.Naturally, I couldn't make a meal for more than a thousand gray dwarf slaves, but I just gave a demonstration to these beast girls, but fortunately, the steps of this thing are very simple: chop the washed shepherd's cabbage with a knife, put it in a large pot, then add some fine salt and roasted sausage minced, and finally add a little black flour, let each camellia leaf be slightly dipped in flour, and hold it firmly into a vegetable ball and put it in a pot to steam over high heat, and then you can eat it.Actually, I don't think this thing is delicious, and no matter what, I can't get back the taste of the past.When it was ready, I just picked up a random dumpling and left.Hiding in Sister Guoguo's tent, boring practice of "magic resistance" and "fire tongue weapon" two magic skills, when the mana is exhausted, I will feel that the magic is exhausted in the body, and the feeling of slowly breeding new mana.The structure of the magic circle of "heating" clearly appeared in my mind, the pale yellow magic force condensed at one point, I felt that my control of the magic force became stronger, the magic force was very stable between my fingers and rotated freely, just stretched out my hand in the air and drew the magic pattern circle naturally, and then the crystal magic light rushed into my body like a six-pointed star array.At this time, the "heating" skill has been promoted to level eight, and the heating function at this time has been able to show some power, increasing the body's mana recovery speed by 80% makes me feel that the mana consumed in the body can be restored in less than ten minutes, although this also shows that the mana storage in my body is a little pitiful, but if I have a magic pool in the future, after the mana capacity increases, at that time, the mana recovery speed will also increase exponentially.Those Terran mages like Sister Guoguo are more accustomed to disengaging from battle as much as possible before their mana is exhausted, and using meditation to restore their mana.Unlike mages, orc shamans also have strong magical regeneration abilities during combat.And I, a Terran child, by chance, actually learned the "heating", a common magic skill of various races, and then had the water totem of the "magic recovery" skill.Sometimes, I'm tempted to try the magic regeneration effect of the water totem and the heating magic regeneration effect at the same time, how fast my magic regeneration will be!
I felt that after the mana power in my body was drained, new mana was born in the nodes that originally contained magic power in my body, just like a refreshing feeling of a clear spring gushing into my mouth after running wildly in the desert under the scorching sun until my mouth was dry.There was a noise outside the tent, I don't know what was going on, under normal circumstances, I hid in Sister Guoguo's tent, and Kuz rarely came to look for me, because Sister Guoguo was a water magician worthy of fear.But I didn't expect Kuzi to come to me at this time, and the reason was actually the turmoil caused by those shepherd's cabbage dumplings.I never thought that these vegetable dumplings made the whole dinner very chaotic, and the steamed vegetable dumplings exuded an attractive aroma, so that the tribal beast girls who originally prepared the batter vegetable porridge gave up the vegetable porridge one after another, and interceded with the cooks, exchanged the vegetable porridge for a few balls of camellia cabbage, and brought them back to eat with relish.In this way, the camellia dumplings, which were originally enough for 1,300 gray dwarves to eat, became very nervous, and at this time, it was the turn of the orc overseers in the quarry to take turns to eat, and they saw many beast girls eating the vegetable dumplings with relish, thinking that these were dinners, and they also came to receive the vegetable dumplings, so that later, the remaining vegetable dumplings were only enough to be distributed to a few hundred gray dwarves, and the remaining half of the gray dwarf slaves had dinner like this.The gray dwarves who had worked hard to dig the trenches began to get angry, and they were afraid of the orc overseers, so they poured their anger on the gray dwarves who had already received the vegetable dumplings, and from whispering at first to insulting each other, until finally, the gray dwarves completely exploded the resentment that had accumulated in their hearts, and some people began to quarrel.Many of the gray dwarves were whipped, and Kuz sent people to distribute the remaining wild vegetable batter porridge to the gray dwarves who had not eaten the vegetable dumplings, and the matter was settled.Kuzi found out that the cause was because I had a whim to turn the original wild vegetable porridge into steamed vegetable dumplings, so I came to Sister Guoguo's tent to find me, and complained endlessly.In the end, the two of us did it on the grass outside Sister Guoguo's tent, watching the beautiful scenery of the sunset in the distance.Kuzi suddenly said, "That Jia, you say, they will come in the evening, right?"
”"Huh!"
I didn't realize for a moment what Kuz was saying, but when I thought clearly, I suddenly had an idea in my mind, and it seemed as if I had grasped something in this moment.I began to organize the thoughts in my head, and then I began to organize the language, and said to Kuz, "I think it will come!"
Definitely coming, and maybe those death scythes.By the way, I have a great idea "To be continued."
