The morning mist pervades the extinct volcanic island, and the rainforest becomes exceptionally humid, and the dew from the lush trunks and branches of the trees is constantly dripping down the tips of the leaves, and we walk through the dense forest, as if it were drizzling overhead.The Faceless warriors had probably lost all their patience as they kept destroying the dense forests of the extinct volcanic island, and when the towering trees were pushed, the sound of their trunks breaking could be heard far away, and the birds and beasts of the forest fled in all directions.The sailors dragged their tired bodies, and as I climbed over the three mountain beams overnight, I decided to place them in a secret cave to avoid the pursuit of these Faceless warriors, knowing that I had been trying to find a way to keep them alive for the past few days, these outlaws of the sea, who had already taken a light view of life and death, suddenly fell silent, and few people spoke along the way, and the first mate on the Shirley was a grumpy man, who carried a sailor with a broken calf on his shoulder, and followed me.Walking through a dense forest overgrown with weeds, I found a cave at the end of a stone crevice, the stone crevice became smaller and smaller, and when I was about to reach the end, the tall Minotaur Ruka almost forced himself through the stone crevice, and the entrance to the cave was covered by a white-ringed vine.It seems that this cave should have been left as early as the active period of the extinct volcano, and after the earth's crust changed, the mountain cracked, forming a huge mountain fissure, and the cave inside was revealed.I don't know how Karantso managed to find such a hidden cave.The mottled rock wall is covered with water marks, and when you stand in the cracks in the rocks and look up, you can only see a glimmer of sky.Wading through the weeds next to the rocks, the dew on the blades of grass soaked the trousers, and the wet linen wrapped around the legs made it uncomfortable.The first mate held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say to me: "Master Jijia Magician, in fact, we can continue to fight" Karantso turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Stay in the cave honestly, wait for us to come back!"
”After saying that, Karantso was the first to go into the cave, and the sailors had a blind worship for Katarina, and when they saw Karantso burrowing into the cave, they all went into it.It was dark in the cave, Karantso walked in front, holding a portable lamp with a moonstone wick in his hand, the cave was extremely humid and stuffy, the surrounding rock walls were covered with purple moss, wet and slippery to the touch, the entrance to the cave was very narrow, only one person could pass through, and the sailors followed Karantso into the zigzag cave one after another.The sailors entered a slightly wider cave, where Karantso stopped.This cave is a little unventilated, it seems a little stuffy to stay in it, the stone wall is wet and damp, this kind of damp and stuffy cave is not suitable for people, everyone has found some dry places to sit down and rest, Caterina gave everyone half a wheat cake, and put a water gathering scroll on the stone wall on the side, a stream of clear and cool water bubbled out from the stone wall, and the tired sailors took out the water bladder one after another, and silently filled the water bladder with clear water.The sailors grabbed the fragrant wheat cake and chewed it in their mouths, and even the sailors asked the first mate heartlessly: "Boss, will we be buried here, this is our last meal before we die?"
”The first mate glared at the sailor fiercely, and scolded angrily: "Get out of the way, it's okay to use your rusty brain to think about it, if you were to die, you would have died on the Shirley." ”One of the sailors poked his companion next to him: "Hey, do you think this cave is not a lair of wild beasts?"
”The companion looked at this damp natural cave and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Probably not, even if it is, it is not equivalent to giving us more food, have we eaten fewer sea beasts in the past few days?"
”The sailor suddenly said, "Speaking of which, that's really true!
”I was standing on a large rock near the rock wall, Karantso was standing aside and holding a lantern for me, the cave was still a little dark, but I didn't want to release a magic flare, because I didn't want the sailors to see the whole cave, I said to these sailors: "Although the conditions here are a little difficult, at least it is safe here, please stay in this cave for a few days, you can recuperate in the cave for a few days, in short, please wait for me to come back" At this time, the sailors in the cave began to doze off, One after another people fell on the slippery rock floor, and the medicinal effect of the nightmare vines mixed into the wheat cake took effect, and after a short while, all the sailors in the cave fell asleep.Justus stood beside me, witnessing the whole process, he looked at me in amazement, not understanding why I had done this to these sailors, so the upright half-siren asked me with a puzzled expression: "You, Jiga" and "If you swear to keep this secret for me, then I will tell you the answer." ”I said to Justes: "Hurry up, we don't have much time left, they will wake up soon." ”"Well, I swear in the honor of my dead mother, no matter what happens next, I will not say it!"
Justes raised his hand and said solemnly.A glimmer of magic bypassed his body and finally disappeared into his chest, and it looked like his oath had some magical pact effect.When he looked again, a portal was already standing behind me, and he looked at it dumbfounded, speechless for a moment.Karantso was the first to pass through the portal into the Valley of the Willows, and a moment later, he walked out of the portal with a team of orc warriors.The orc warriors wore a swamp giant crocodile hard leather armor, carried a short flying spear, and carried a short axe on their waists, walked out of the portal, and without saying a word, carried the sleeping sailors in the cave back to the cave, and more than 100 sailors were all carried into the Xinliu Valley by the orc warriors in a few minutes.Looking at the familiar figures of the orc warriors, I asked Karantso, "Have you explained to Bernd?"
”A faint smile rose at the corner of Kalantso's mouth and he said to me, "He is full of complaints about you!"
”"Oh, tell me, what's going on?"
I raised an eyebrow and asked her a little strangely.Karantso pointed to the portal and said to me: "With so many barbarian slaves transferred at once, the progress of the underground steel track project is probably about to be delayed, he originally thought that those sailors were the labor you compensated him for, but he did not expect that this group of sailors not only did not know how to work, but also needed to allocate some manpower to take care of them, and now he is angry at those Hiero natives in the square." ”I pressed my hand to my forehead and said with some distress: "Hey, this dwarf is good at everything, but his alcoholism and fiery temper make people a little unbearable!"
”As he was talking, a group of burly barbarian slaves came out of the portal one after another, with excitement in their eyes, they just came out of the cave in the Xinliu Valley, and immediately found that they had entered another cave, and this cave was hot and humid, and at the same time extremely dark, for a while they were a little confused, and stood in front of the portal in astonishment.When the barbarian slaves first took part in the sea hunting, they were completely shirtless, carrying a black iron spear in their hands, and fought bravely in my ice wall array.Along the way, after several hunts, the barbarian slaves caught some sea beasts, made the most solid parts of their bodies into leather, and some of them were directly brought into the Xinliu Valley by the barbarians.Although these barbarians were not tanners, they used rough craftsmanship to make the simplest armor from the skins of those dried sea animals, only cutting out two larger pieces of leather on the front and back, and then cutting out two smaller shoulder pads, which were connected by strong ropes, which was the simplest leather cuirass.As for the lower body, it is even simpler, just using sea animal skins to form a cylinder to make the simplest battle skirt.Every barbarian is nearly three meters tall, with bulging body muscles, living on the ice and snow tundra all year round, lacking enough sunlight, making their skin very fair, and then wearing such a leather armor with a wild atmosphere, carrying a black iron spear of more than four meters behind him, the powerful aura is suddenly revealed.When Justus saw hundreds of orc warriors armed to the teeth coming out of the portal one after another, his face became solemn, and when he saw that there were constantly strong barbarian warriors appearing in the cave, it was like peeking into my true strength, and there was a hint of jealousy in my eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask me: "These warriors are your followers?"
”I nodded slightly, coughed, and said to Justus, "Everyone has a little secret, doesn't they?"
”Justus glanced at Karantso again, pointed at the orc warriors, and said to me, "If you are not mistaken, Karantso is the leader of these warriors, but what about these little giants?"
Could it be Ruka's subordinates?
”"Ruka is a minotaur warrior, and they are a group of barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, they live in the ice and snow tundra north of the northern border of the Grimm Empire, and every winter, they have to go to Sloit Province to plunder slaves, it can be said that we northerners are the sworn enemies, they are a group of slaves."
I said bluntly to Justes.The reason I said so much to Justes and let him know so much was that I felt like he was the one who thought he could keep the secret.And after all, he and I have the same goal, and in the matter of finding the Pirate King's treasure, we are not only on a united front, but I have a lot of places to rely on him, and of course, the most important point, that is, he knows the soul horn.We didn't stay in this cave too much, the barbarians have a natural resistance to these caves, although they are used to burrowing in the Xinliu Valley, but that doesn't mean they like to stay here, especially in this cave it's so hot and unusually stuffy that standing in the cave makes people feel breathless.So I took the orc warriors and barbarian slaves out of the cave and into the rainforest, the morning fog had cleared, and the humid glade was constantly steaming upward, the forest was still very humid, but at least the view here became wider, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the barbarian slaves came out of the cracks in the stone and into the dense forest, full of novelty.For these barbarians, who have lived on the ice and snow tundra since childhood, so many lush vegetation in the dense forest are some scenery that cannot be seen in the ice and snow tundra, and the barbarian slaves look up at the towering trees, pluck down a handful of wild berries from the bushes on the side, and stuff them into their mouths together with the fine branches and leaves, and bite with a creaking sound.The barbarians had an innate instinct for danger, and they heard the sound of trees breaking in the distance, and their faces began to darken.The group of orc warriors in delicate leather armor looked well-trained, and they cautiously followed behind Karantso, and when they entered this dense forest, several orc scouts quickly climbed to the top of the tall canopy, while guarding and probing the surrounding situation."
What do we do now?"
Karantso walked up to me and asked me softly.I pointed to the other side of the extinct volcanic island and said, "Let's get those faceless patrol teams out of the dense forest first. ”As she spoke, she put her finger in her mouth and whistled loudly to the sky, and Deborah flapped her black and white wings in search of the sound, and plunged into the dense forest, scraping off the emerald green branches and leaves all over the ground, and the dazzling sunlight cast into the dense forest through the lush branches and leaves, leaving only a few speckled pillars of light.I looked up and said to Deborah, who was crouching on the branches, "Deborah, take us to the Faceless Patrol Squad." ”She has recently begun to imitate the birds of the woods, always squatting on the branches of trees.After hearing what I said, Deborah did not leave immediately, but pointed to a mountain forest on the left, and said to me proudly: "There is a team of tentacle monsters in the woods over there" The orc warriors gave up the standard crossbow that they had always carried on their backs, because the crossbow arrows on the crossbow caused almost no damage to these burly faceless warriors.Against these Faceless warriors with powerful regenerative abilities, only spears and axes are the most powerful.Pushing aside the banana leaves in front of me, I just saw a team of twenty Faceless warriors walking through the dense forest.Perhaps because of the humidity of the morning and the dew everywhere in the trees, the warriors of the Faceless squad appeared spirited, tearing apart the branches and vines of the dense forest with their tentacles, and their thick lower limbs stepped on the low bushes, leveling them down.The Faceless team also carved out a passage in the dense forest, but they were smart enough not to fight the towering trees, but instead cleared the vines and shrubs under the trees to clear a shady passage in the dense forest
