Chapter 187: Dog Girl
Among those legends, Xia Lian is most interested in the story of the dog girl, although the story is a bit old-fashioned.
Dog sister is just a close name, not her real name, but the person who barked called a lot, and the dog sister herself was not disgusted, so it was determined. As for her real name, there is no way to get it, and I have never said it.
The dog girl is said to have lived for nearly 300 years, and she is still young and beautiful, and she has lived alone in this world for a long, long time. Dog Girl has only really become famous throughout the plateau in the last ten years, because of her half-orc status.
Some beasts are born with high spirituality, even if there are no gods in the ancestors, they can also transform into humans, and the dog girl belongs to this kind of existence. But because of the limitations of their life forms, these orcs can't all incarnate into humans, and they will leave some characteristics on their bodies, and these characteristics are the reason why the dog girl has recently revealed her true identity.
She is the incarnation of a black puppy, she does not know her own parents, nor her own race, and she has been learning and growing up with humans as a child. When she was forty years old, the human who accompanied her died, and she began to live and wander alone.
The dog girl turned into a human at the age of 100, her human incarnation is very young and beautiful, and by human standards it should be cute and vibrant, beautiful and slightly enchanting.
The dog girl maintained a cold expression all the year round, as if she had never smiled, and her ears and tail were tightly hidden in the black robe, and she almost never appeared in the world. The only thing people could see was the unique and antique collar around her neck, densely engraved with tiny words, recording some things.
Dog Girl earns money by taking on mercenary missions, and her childhood experience has had a great impact on her, making many of her lifestyles close to that of humans. The dog girl is very powerful, more powerful than most humans, so she is well-known in human circles. Humans who have worked with her know that she is a powerful and ruthless girl, and many who try to approach her have been touched by a nose.
About 10 years ago, the plateau was hit by a snow disaster that was rare in a thousand years. At that time, the weather changed drastically, and the extremely cold air caused the snow line on the plateau to drop by hundreds of thousands of feet, and the most terrifying thing about the snow line drop was that it allowed those powerful beasts who usually only moved above the snow line to enter the human home.
Since the sudden change of heaven and earth, Dog Sister has continued to receive requests from humans to kill those white-haired beasts, she has traveled around and helped many humans, and these precious front-line experiences have made Dog Sister realize that the attack of the white-haired beasts is only a prelude, and there is a greater crisis behind.
So she wrote letters to the village chiefs and town mayors everywhere, asking them to abandon their homes and retreat below the snow line, and with her fame, she naturally sent them to these decision-makers.
But policymakers didn't take the dog's warning seriously. First of all, this kind of snow disaster on the scale of a thousand years does not have any corresponding knowledge in their relatively short life, and they just feel that this year is a little unlucky; secondly, if they retreat recklessly, the loss of money will be a very huge amount, so huge that they dare not make decisions at will; finally, they are confident in their ability to resist, and there are only some casualties in various places, and they are still within the scope of acceptance.
This delay led to the invasion of the second wave of white-haired beasts, and the human race paid a heavy price.
Realizing their mistake, the humans moved overnight to the lower towns under the protection of mercenaries, hunters, and guards. Because of the terrain, human beings need to pass through a large canyon when retreating, and the wide part of the canyon is dozens of zhang, and the narrow place is only a few zhang, which makes the human retreat very slow.
Before all the humans entered the canyon, a small beast tide composed of white-haired beasts rushed over, easily tearing through the defense line formed by humans, and biting towards the ordinary humans who had no resistance.
At that critical moment, the dog girl in black robe flashed in front of the fleeing crowd, revealing her posture as an orc for the first time.
The wolf-shaped beast clan was pitch black, incompatible with those white-haired beasts, it was like a black bladed scythe, cutting blood marks in the white sky, staining the white snow with bright red.
The humans reacted quickly and accelerated the retreat of the crowd, this section of the Grand Canyon was the most critical, as long as the crowd passed through this narrow passage, they could shrink their strength and hold on to the narrowest place, which would have a great chance of stopping the invasion of the white-haired beast clan.
The premise of all this is that the dog girl can support them until they retreat, and people will all look at the black phantom with anticipation.
The dog girl has really supported it for a long time, and I don't know why she has to work so hard, maybe it's the human life since she was a child that makes her completely identify herself as a part of the human race.
The nearby mayor and city lord led many masters to the defense line of the canyon, just in time to see a black shadow in the sky being thrown over, smashing to the ground, dragging out a long trail of blood, until it hit the defense line they had built improvised.
The dog girl struggled for too long, and suffered from the high-level beast clan that followed, and at this moment she was seriously injured and unconscious, and the huge black figure disappeared, transforming into a girl covered in blood.
The female cultivator wrapped the dog girl in distress and transported it to the defense line for treatment, and the city lord roared angrily at the tall figure in front of the canyon, ordering the formation to be arranged, and the bright light cut off the canyon.
Among those later white-haired beast clans, there were powerful individuals who produced spiritual intelligence, and it glanced at the human formation in the canyon, and finally roared helplessly, leading the other white-haired beast clans to other places.
This is how humans on this plateau survived.
"The dog girl is really amazing, if it weren't for her desperate blocking, the number of dead people would have multiplied. Xia Lian imagined the majestic appearance of the dog girl incarnating into the beast clan, and yearned for it.
"I only see the stupidity of human beings in this legendary story. Yin Jiuchen focused on the other side.
At this moment, each of them rode a horse on the plateau, one with Bo'an and the other with Anya. The plateau road is uneven, and the car has been sold, but it also has a flavor in this way.
The topography of the plateau is very undulating, and as soon as you cross one ridge, you will be greeted by another, because the snow water of the perennial snow-covered peaks melts, creating ravines on the mountainside. The changes in elevation, sunlight, and temperature make many different scenes appear on the plateau, such as snowy areas, gravel areas, grassland areas, forest areas, etc., which are very magical.
"Legends, don't take them too seriously," Xia Lian said with a smile, "In order to show the image of a hero, someone is often needed as the background, and such a dog girl exists in the imagination......"
Xia Lian's voice grew smaller and quieter as she spoke, and finally paused, her eyes wide as she watched as a black wolf-shaped beast had fallen from the cliff above their heads, wearing an old collar with small letters written on its neck.
"No......" Xia Lian was stunned.
