Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 58 Encounter
Vina and the two adult lizardmen left the makeshift camp early in the morning under the pretext of patrolling, but unlike Vina's sad face, the other two lizardmen looked relieved, they could finally get out of the damn place, and although they did come back in the end, it was better than staying there forever.
The atmosphere around the ogre camp is so mad that it's better to have a good fight with the wolves in the forest, or at least die a good death.
But Vena was not so optimistic, she was now full of how to persuade her uncle to obey her words and lead the people out of that place, the situation in the ogre camp was so weird, the two-headed ogre didn't even mean to explain to her people.
Either it didn't care about the lives of itself and others at all, or it couldn't even solve the problem, and it might have been killed a long time ago, no matter what the situation was, the clansmen were no longer suitable to stay here, the key was how to convince them.
Just as Vina was thinking about her next words, the lizardmen who were exploring the path in front of her suddenly stopped, straightened up, and looked around warily.
"What's wrong, why did you stop suddenly when you walked well, it couldn't be that you didn't eat enough when you went out. The lizardman in the back smiled and nudged him, giggling.
"Something is wrong, there seem to be a lot of people rushing this way in front, and the smell in the air is a little complicated, as if the smell is masked by something. The lizardman in front of him said suspiciously.
"How can there be a large army around here, the remaining kobold tribe must be crying in the tribe after the pit viper boss fights, those soft eggs are no match for us and the ogre. The lizardmen in the back didn't take the words of the clansmen to heart at all, after all, kobolds are notoriously good-tempered, and they have never produced any well-known powerhouses, in his opinion, two transcendents are not handy to deal with a kobold tribe?
The lizardmen in front were still cautious, and they were not disturbed by the clansmen at all, but wanted the lizardmen in the back to hide with Vena and go to the front to reconnoiter the situation themselves.
However, the light-hearted lizardmen were better than the well-prepared kobolds, and Taylor had all the preparations done, including herbs to mask the smell, herbs to heal wounds, weapons to be replaced, and food and water, etc., all arranged without a single mistake.
So when the lizardmen felt that something was wrong around them, the kobold was already about to walk up to their faces, and it must be too late to hide.
By the time the lizardmen in front of them finished gesticulating, a dozen kobolds had already surrounded the three of them, and the kobold sentries led by them had already begun to shout and ask about their identities.
When Zhao Xi heard the kobold's voice, he thought that the route of his own and the others was exposed, and he happened to crash into the patrol force opposite, and he had already drawn his long sword and was ready to fight.
And the lizardman in front of him felt that something was wrong when he saw the vague appearance of the opposite side, after all, the size of the person on the other side didn't look like a lizardman or an ogre, so the answer was obvious, it was the target he commanded a few days ago, the only kobold left in the forest.
"Why did the kobolds come here, this is the territory of the ogre, is the leader of them defeated?How can it be so fast, is there also a powerful shaman in the kobold tribe that has always been infamous, and even two transcendent professionals joining forces are not his opponents?" The lizardman in front of him saw a group of menacing kobolds on the opposite side, and his mind was confused, he felt that the kobolds might resist very strongly, and even needed the ogre shaman to decide the victory, but he didn't expect that his side would lose.
And it's the kind of big failure that people are about to touch the door of the house, and in this case, there is not even a single person who reports the news, what kind of simple failure is this, how strong is it for the enemy who has two transcendents to run? It is estimated that only the ogre shaman can resist.
The poor lizardmen didn't guess at all that the reason for their failure turned out to be too stupid and too many concerns, otherwise even with Zhao Xi's help, the ogre and the lizardman side would not have lost so badly, at least it was enough to survive until the reinforcements arrived, and even if they were lucky, it was the kobolds who lost.
Vina and another lizardman who were hiding also sensed that something was wrong, after all, the person who was questioning was a completely unfamiliar voice, and he had never heard it at all, and it was not his own clan at all.
The lizardmen in front of them were just about to take out their weapons with their backs, trying to attract the attention of their companions behind them and buy time, after all, it was okay to fall into the hands of the kobolds, but it would be bad if Vina fell into their hands, after all, there can be no warriors in a clan, but there can be no shamans.
The shamans in the tribe are not simply legal professionals, they are also the inheritors of the fire of civilization, they inherit the knowledge of their ancestors, and pass it on to the next generation, helping the people to get out of the era of drinking blood, and they are also doctors, driving away diseases and protecting the health of the people, so to speak, the power of the legal professions is only a part of the knowledge they have mastered, not the whole thing.
Therefore, a whole tribe cannot be without shamans, and a tribe without shamans is just scavengers, wanderers, a group of barbarians without roots and homes.
But before he could finish this action, another sentence came from the opposite side:
"Don't act rashly, little lizard, or I won't be able to guarantee the safety of the two behind you. ”
The slightly mocking words pointed out the fact that the lizardman companion had been discovered, and made his plan fail before it even began, knowing that there might be more kobolds around him than he thought.
"What the hell are these kobolds going to do, this is at least half a tribe of warriors, do they really think they can win the alliance between us and the ogre?"
"Very good, it seems that you still know how to take it seriously, then please ask the next two to come out too, don't hide, I can smell the fishy smell on your body from afar." The leader kobold said disdainfully.
After Vena heard the words of the unfamiliar voice, she didn't continue to hide, she stood up directly and generously, looked up at the surroundings, and sure enough, it was not as she expected, it was the kobold who surrounded her and the others.
The other lizardman wanted to drag Vina to escape, but Vina refused, and there was no sneak attack on the other side, it must have surrounded himself and others tightly, and there was no need for a sneak attack, so it was better to talk about it than to resist desperately, after all, the other party didn't seem to have the intention of killing himself and others.
The kobold sentry at the head saw Vina standing out of the bushes, and couldn't help but taunt, "Have you lizardmen been reduced to the point of sending children into battle?"
The lizardman in front of him almost drew his sword angrily when he heard this, and wanted to fight with the kobold sentry, but the other side seemed to have seen his intentions, and directly spread his hands and said:
"I don't mean to fight you, you'd better put away your weapons, or it won't hurt you, after all, the shaman seems to have a lot to ask you. ”
The lizardmen in front looked at the dozen or so kobolds around them, and put down their weapons in anger, after all, if they really fought, they might not be able to hold out for long, and they would be torn to pieces by them.
"I want to see your shaman. Vina also held back her anger and said calmly.
"It's not a small tone, as for the shaman, he has already rushed here, if you don't want anything bad to happen, please put away your little actions, it's the one in the back, and I'm not welcome if you don't stop. The kobold sentry weighed the dagger in his hand and said to the lizardman behind him.
The lizardman in the back was still secretly taking out his weapon to see if he could find a chance to slip away with Vina, but he was discovered as soon as he started, and he glared at the kobold fiercely.
"Something's going on, Barlow. Taylor came from behind and asked the kobold at the head.
"We caught some lizardmen, which I think could be of great use to our operations. Barlow replied respectfully, standing directly behind Taylor.
"You're doing a great job. Taylor complimented him and nodded at him.
"Are you the kobold shaman?" Vena bowed directly, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
"That's right, I am, I can feel the light of the ancestors from you, are you the next guide of the lizardmen?" Taylor said with a curious look at Vina.
"My name is Vina, and may the ancestors always favor you, Elder. "Vena performed a shamanic ritual.
"My name is Taylor, and may the Ancestors always favor you, your new successor. Taylor also replied with a respectful face
After the two sides finished politely, Taylor directly opened the door and asked: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of coming out of the camp so far at this time, Miss Vina must not have come out for a walk." ”
At this time, Zhao Xi finally came here with difficulty, but found that Taylor was talking to a lizardman, and asked his tall kobold to stand behind Taylor in the morning, so Zhao Xi casually found a position to find out what happened.
"Until then, I would like to ask how the people we attacked your tribe were doing. Vena spoke, and after she finished speaking, she was also a little uneasy, after all, this was too hateful, but in order to understand the situation of the uncle as soon as possible, she could only ask so bluntly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the forest became solemn, and some kobolds had already drawn their weapons after hearing this.
Just as the other two lizardmen were about to draw their weapons, an unfamiliar voice interjected.
"If you're asking about the lizardman's transcendence, it's unfortunate that he died by my sword. ”
