Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 57 Departure
Zhao Xi wiped the long sword in his hand again and again, and when he saw that the blade could clearly reflect his face, he nodded with satisfaction, put the long sword into the scabbard, and looked up at the kobolds around him who were busy because they were starting to prepare.
Turning his head and seeing Taylor on the side directing the clansmen to prepare bread and drink water, Zhao Xi slowly walked towards the kobold shaman.
"Except for the rations for the wounded, the rest of the food was brought with us, and this battle was enough to fight for a while. Taylor instructed the kobold beside him, and when he saw Zhao Xi coming over, he smiled at him, and then continued to tell the other kobolds to bring all kinds of things.
Zhao Xi waited by the side for a while, until he sent out all the kobolds around him, and then stepped forward to talk to Taylor and said, "How many of us are there this time?"
"Hmm...... Think about it. Taylor tapped his head and said, "Excluding the wounded and those who were left behind, there should be about seventy people." ”
"What about the other side, how many people can there be?" Zhao Xi asked.
"If you count the underage ogres, it should be twice as many as us. Taylor thought for a moment and said, "After all, ogres over the age of five can be regarded as human warriors, if it weren't for their poor heads, or there would be one more ogre kingdom on the continent." ”
"How do you choose the king, and who eats more?" Zhao Xi said a cold joke, but seeing that Taylor didn't feel the laughter, he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
Taylor didn't have time to respond to Zhao Xi's sneering jokes, and the kobolds he sent out came back one after another to start telling him about the situation they were responsible for.
Zhao Xi couldn't interject, so he had to stand aside blankly, choosing to be an emotionless human statue.
......
In the wee hours of the morning, inside the lizardman tent.
Blade Fang looked at the three young lizardmen in front of him with a bitter expression, he thought that at most, the three little ones were greedy for fun and wanted to go out on an adventure in the middle of the night or something, after all, he liked this kind of activity the most when he was a child, but he didn't expect the future shaman of his clan to give him such a big surprise.
Vina stared at the head of the Blade Tooth, the eager expression seemed to be about to overflow from her face, since she finished telling the whole story, it had been an hour, Blade Tooth just thought about things with a sad face, and did not give her the correct answer, which made her a little flustered.
After all, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of that weird ogre, if all the ogres became like that, this place would not be able to stay, who knows if that weird appearance was some infectious disease, if the lizardmen were also infected, it would be bad.
Vena looked at the blade fang on the other side, and the image of him biting off his finger and smiling weirdly came to mind, which directly made the young female lizardman shiver.
Bladetooth didn't notice the appearance of his future shaman, but cocked the table with his fingers, thinking about what to do about it.
If he hadn't heard those terrible screams, he would definitely not believe the nonsense of these children, but with evidence, that kind of scream is indeed not like what normal creatures can make, if he was in the tribe before, he would have been waiting for others to check what was going on, but now, he and others are under the fence, plus the terrifying two-headed ogre, he doesn't want to touch the mold.
He saw that Vena and the others looked anxious, he also watched these children grow up, although they are usually naughty, but they don't lie in big things, and Vena is the next shaman, she can't joke about her tribe.
But it is definitely useless to believe it alone, the pit viper boss is not there, he is at most one of the few leaders here, and his belief does not mean that others will believe it, and if they are wrong, they take the initiative to lead the clansmen to escape from here, and it doesn't matter if they are scolded by the pit viper boss who came back afterwards, this is to make the ogre shaman angry, and even if he affects the tribe, then even if he dies, he will not have the face to see the old shaman.
So Blade Fang is now entangled to death, I don't know what to do, both sides are related to the safety of the clan, Blade Fang can't decide at all.
Looking up again, when he saw Vena with an anxious face, a flash of inspiration flashed directly in his mind.
A little person like himself can't decide, of course, let the boss make a decision, send two clansmen to protect Vena to find the pit viper boss, even if something happens here, there are also Vena and the pit viper boss They can be regarded as leaving a little seed for the tribe, if it's okay here, just wait for the pit viper boss's decision, I believe that the pit viper boss will definitely make the right decision, and people like themselves just need to obey the order.
So Blade Tooth cleared his throat and said to Vina: "Vena, when it is dawn, I will ask the clansmen to take you to the pit viper boss in the name of patrolling, and you will tell the boss about the matter, and bring the boss's decision back to me, after all, you also know that I can't play the role of the pit viper boss in this camp." ”
After listening to the answer, Vena wanted to stand up and defend something, but she was pulled by Kevin behind her, and at this time she also reacted, such a big matter, but Uncle Blade Tooth alone can have the final say.
"Uncle Commander?" said Vina to herself.
Then his eyes regained clarity, he sorted out his expression, and said to Blade Fang, "I know, I will bring the words to my uncle, and I also believe that my uncle will believe me." “
After listening to Vina's words, Blade Fang didn't say anything, just got up and said the time to leave, and told Vina to rest well, and walked out of the tent.
"Why doesn't Uncle Blade Tooth believe us, the evidence is already so obvious, we should flee decisively. Mike finally couldn't help it and told the other two.
"There are a lot of things that adults have to think about, but it's not just a question of whether to run or not to escape. Kevin made a rare gesture of explaining things to Mike.
But looking at Mike's appearance as if he didn't understand at all, Kevin felt that he might as well not explain, this idiot didn't understand at all.
"Mike, Kevin is right. Vena pulled Mike and said, "I'm sure Uncle Commander will believe me, will." ”
After Vena finished speaking, the other two little lizardmen did not continue to speak, but were silent with each other, at this time the three of them felt their own powerlessness, if the three of them had enough strength, they would not be so troublesome at all, and they would not run away in the face of an ogre, at least they could find out the truth, or solve the problem directly.
"If only I could be as strong as that ogre shaman......," Vena thought about this, and couldn't help but start fantasizing about her future, Mike on the side thought that he could dismantle the ogre in pieces, and Kevin just looked at the tent door, his eyes blank.
However, neither Vina nor Blade Fang expected that the lizardman pit viper, whom they had given great hope for, would have already turned into someone's experience points, and even exploded a piece of equipment for him.
But it's no wonder that the two of them didn't think of it, after all, they are extraordinary professionals, and they can still run if they can't beat them, but a certain lizardman doesn't seem to have that chance.
......
Zhao Xi split the branches in front of him with a sword, and at this time he experienced the pain of marching in the woods, especially when there was still no way, it was almost fatal.
In the past, the roads he had traveled were relatively open, and there were often people haunting, so it was naturally easy, but the ogre's territory was in the depths of the forest, and it had reached the mountains, and even the map given to him by Bishop Darren did not mark the location of the ogre tribe, but only wrote some sightings.
But in a sense, ordinary people can safely come back and tell their story after seeing the ogre, which is already a very lucky thing to some extent.
If it weren't for his own kobold hunter to lead the way, it is estimated that Zhao Xiguang would have spent a few days to find the way, not to mention the raid, it would be a lucky thing to be able to successfully arrive, after all, he has never learned anything about survival in the wild, his knowledge of survival in the wild and identifying the direction is still only at the stage of looking at the Big Dipper, if there are still Big Dipper in this world, maybe his skills are still a little useful.
Lake on the side looked at Zhao Xi's clumsy appearance, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Sure enough, it's a pampered noble kid, and he doesn't even know such a basic knowledge of jungle marching, I'm afraid that if he doesn't have himself and others, this human will starve to death in this jungle, and such a person is also worthy of being my Lord Lake's opponent?"
Lake seemed to have forgotten the scene when he was almost killed by a sword in the morning, but looked down on Zhao Xi, as if people who couldn't walk in the jungle were waste.
Of course, Zhao Xi can't hear what Lake is saying in his heart, and even if he hears it, he doesn't bother to pay attention to him, after all, will you lose your temper with a dead man?
In Zhao Xi's eyes, Lake is already a dead person, after all, this kind of person dies early, saving from burdening others, these kobolds who are in danger Zhao Xi will reach out to help, except for Lake, he can't wait to get as far away from him as possible, let alone help, it's good not to secretly make up for a sword.
However, the appearance of the kobolds shuttling in the forest is indeed not comparable to Zhao Xi, they shuttle between the trees flexibly one by one, they don't care about the branches at all, but they will dodge the past with a clever angle every time, not only the posture is much more beautiful, but also much stronger than Zhao Xi in terms of saving physical strength.
If it weren't for Zhao Xi's sharpness of the bright red blade, just cutting down trees all the way would be enough for him, and when the battle began, it was estimated that he would have to lose one of his troops first.
Just when Zhao Xi was still struggling with these branches, the kobold in front seemed to have discovered something.
"Who's where? Get out of here! or we're welcome." “
