After Yang Yi led Zhu Liu and them away, Zhou Jinyou really smiled bitterly, and muttered with some complaints: "Leave such small things to me, it seems that I have really become his free coolie." ”

This time back to the mining area, all the journeys were arranged by Zhu Liu, and their first stop was the fiefdom of the Earth Spirit Clan, a friend of the White Boar and the Orc Clan.

These Earth Spirit Clans have a natural fanatical fascination with ores, and the main reason why they live here is because the quality of the iron pith here is very high, and the Wealth Leopard Patriarch also promised to provide them with some iron pith every month for them to craft. Although the weapons and armors that were built were all purchased by the Wealth Leopard Patriarch at a very low price, and their lives were very difficult, they had no intention of leaving here. Zhu Liu, the white boar and half-orc clan, was not the patriarch at that time, and he was also very sympathetic to the Earth Spirit Clan. Every month, when he was in charge of transporting the Iron Pulp to the Earth Spirit Clan, he would give the Iron Root Kernel that he had secretly hidden to the Earth Spirit Clan, so that they could craft weapons and sell them privately in exchange for the dry food they needed. Zhu Liu's behavior also touched the surrounding clansmen, and everyone followed Zhu Liu's example and gave the iron pith they had hidden to the Earth Spirit Clan. It can be said that the Earth Spirit Race was able to survive and grow to nearly 10,000 people, all thanks to the White Boar and Half-Orc Race. Over time, the White Boar Orc became the only friend of the Earth Spirit Clan.

The anxious Zhu Liu couldn't wait to fly to the settlement of the Earth Spirit Clan at once, desperately urging the clansmen to speed up their pace. Yang Yi sat on the temporary merchant car and did not stop Zhu Liu, he understood Zhu Liu's mood very well at this time.

After a long night's journey, Yang Yi and Zhu Liu finally arrived at the settlement of the Earth Spirit Clan at dawn.

The already small house of the Earth Spirit Clan had completely collapsed, and the finished and half-finished warframes and weapons made on the ground were scattered all over the ground, and there was not a single sound in the entire settlement, as if it was uninhabited in the first place.

When Zhu Liu saw the scene in front of him, he yelled angrily, and tears couldn't stop flowing. Although he knew that the demon beasts were slaughtered all the way, he still naively thought that with the nearly 10,000 number of the Earth Spirit Clan, he should be able to protect his settlement, but the reality in front of him shattered Zhu Liu's last bit of hope.

When Yang Yi just got out of the car, he was also stunned by the scene in front of him, but then he noticed something different. When he saw Zhu Liu's tears, he walked over and patted Zhu Liu's shoulder, and comforted: "Don't be too sad, although these demon beasts are cruel, they don't have the appetite to eat all these earth spirit clans, don't you see that there are no corpses here? They may have evacuated in time, but the house was destroyed by the demon beasts." ”

"yes, there's no blood or corpses here, and they might have evacuated safely. Yang Yi's words woke up the sad Zhu Liu. Zhu Liu immediately ordered loudly: "Everyone go out to find me, even if I can't find anyone alive, I have to know their traces and see the corpses." ”

The other White Boar Half-Orc Clansmen also had deep feelings for these Earth Spirit Clans, and they all felt hope when they heard Yang Yi's words in their grief, and as soon as Zhu Liu's words fell, these White Boar Warriors immediately rushed out, looking for any possible place to hide.

After a while, Zhu Twenty-eight, the deputy captain of the city-breaking brigade, ran back and excitedly reported to Yang Yi and Zhu Liu: "Leader, patriarch, a large number of footprints of the Earth Spirit Clan have been found in front. ”

"Let's go and see. Zhu Liu couldn't wait to rush out. Yang Yi shook his head and followed.

Just arrived at the place where Zhu Twenty-eight discovered, and the warriors who searched around also came, they did not find any valuable clues, and everyone pinned their hopes on Zhu Twenty-eighth's discovery.

"There should be nothing wrong with these Earth Spirit Clan, you look at the footprints of the Earth Spirit Clan," Yang Yi, who arrived at the scene, first noticed that something was wrong, but when he saw these simple-minded white wild boars, he was still looking at these footprints on the ground blankly, his face was full of confusion, so he had to explain: "Although these footprints are messy, the footprints of the Earth Spirit Clan and the other race are extremely clear, and they should retreat very calmly." No bodies were found in the vicinity, so it can be seen that they should not have suffered many casualties, as long as we follow the trail of their footprints, we can definitely find them. ”

"Assemble, go,"

Yang Yi led the white boar warriors who were left to continue fighting, and followed the footprints left by the Earth Spirit Clan.

Yang Yi led the way in front like a hound, constantly correcting the direction of progress through footprints, and the samurai followed honestly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of affecting the judgment of the leader.

After tracking for almost two hours, Yang Yi suddenly stopped in front of a forest, and the originally clear and neat footprints on the ground suddenly disappeared. Zhu Liu, who had been following closely behind Yang Yi, also found that the footprints and footprints had disappeared, and raised his right hand high after Yang Yi stopped, signaling everyone to stop advancing

"Everyone disperse, but be careful, I don't know if there are any demon beasts in the woods. ”

"Yes"

Seeing that the samurai had dispersed. Yang Yi led Zhu Liu and Zhu Twenty-eight to continue their search.

Slowly getting used to the darkness in the woods, Yang Yi began to look at the woods carefully. The trees here are as low as a dozen meters high, and the thick trunks require four or five white boar warriors to hold onto. The foliage at the top of the tree was so dense that it almost obscured the entire sky, and even though it was almost noon, there was still not a trace of sunlight shining through the foliage.

Yang Yi cautiously walked on the soft leaves, carefully looking for the traces left by the Earth Spirit Clan.

"Roar"

A terrible scream broke the silence of the woods. Yang Yi and Zhu Liu both heard that this was the scream of their own warrior, and they did not hesitate, and immediately ran towards the place where the scream came from. But as soon as they ran a few steps out, a terrible scream sounded behind them, followed by several screams.

Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that there is also a human-like demon beast leader here? Will attack several places at the same time? If this is the case, then my team is in danger, and it will be impossible to escape." Thinking of this, Yang Yi didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Come closer to me, quickly." ”

Yangyi's voice spread far and wide in the silent woods, and all the samurai heard the screams and the chief's orders, and ran in the direction of the chief.

The terrifying action of the white boars was more complete at this time, just a few minutes after Yang Yi shouted, most of the warriors who had scattered out to search returned to the leader's side, and after Zhu Liu counted the number of people, there were 15 fewer warriors.

Yang Yi was just about to find the remaining samurai, when a sudden strong wind blew in the woods, and the woods, which had low visibility, were almost like darkness at this time. Although the samurai all reflexively pulled each other's arms, there were still screams near them, and for a while, fear quickly spread to the hearts of every samurai, and no one knew if they would be the next to be poisoned.

The wind slowly subsided, the leaves slowly fell, and the eyes of the samurai gradually became clearer. But the atmosphere of fear did not abate in the slightest.

Yang Yi also looked around him in amazement, not only the disappearance of the samurai, but also the trees where he was standing seemed to suddenly evaporate, vacating a circular field. And the already tall trees seemed to come to life, neatly surrounding themselves and the samurai, and there was not a single gap between the trunks.

Just when everyone was amazed, the tall ancient trees around them came to life, and their long branches were like arms, and they smashed down towards the people in the encirclement. Despite the sturdy physique of the white boar and the armor he wore all over his body, the branches of the trees rained down on the heads of the samurai like a torrential rain. After nearly half an hour of attacking, except for Yang Yi and a few relatively powerful warriors who were still able to barely stand, the rest had already fainted to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
