Chapter 4: The Bones of the Beast God
When the first rays of the morning sun rise, adding a touch of color to the dark forest, Combe is ready to prepare food for everyone.
"You're awake, you're ready to eat!" Looking at the three of them who had already finished freshening up, Kom kindly took out the barbecue he had just prepared.
The barbecue is very fragrant, the quantity is quite abundant, and it is all the favorite wind rabbit meat of Worry-free.
"Wow, little Com, where did you get so many wind rabbits from?" Looking at the four or five rabbits roasting on the fire, Huo Yuyang opened his mouth exaggeratedly and exclaimed.
"I caught it!"
Com scratched his head and handed a roasted wind rabbit to Sansso.
"You caught it?" Huo Yuyang was a little disbelieving and looked at Kom suspiciously.
Com was a little stunned, he also wanted to tell Huo Yuyang frankly yes, but when he thought that the two of them had only caught one yesterday, he easily caught so much, and the words that he wanted to say were also stuck in his throat, he opened his mouth and froze in place, looking a little embarrassed.
"Okay, let's eat what you have! Why do you spend so much talk! ”
Qian Shao pushed away Huo Yuyang who was blocking him a little impatiently, took the lead by the fire, and directly grabbed the sizzling rabbit roasted on the fire, and feasted on it.
"Wait for me!" Listening to Qian Shao's voice, Huo Yuyang didn't want to ask anything more, a few dodged, sat down in an open space next to Qian Shao, and unceremoniously picked the biggest rabbit that had always been eaten and gnawed it.
"Sister, it's yours." Carefree didn't take over, looking a little dumbfounded, and Combe reminded again.
"Yes!" He took the rabbit from Com's hand, sat down in a corner and ate it thoughtfully.
"Sister, is it delicious?" Seeing that Huo Yuyang had no room for his own intervention, Com also took a rabbit and made it to Wuwu's side, looking at Wuwu's somewhat unswallowable appearance, Com had doubts about his cooking skills for the first time.
"Yes!" Another faint word of grace, and the atmosphere froze again.
Comm didn't say anything more, and concentrated on eating his rabbit.
"Kom, if my sister has something very important and needs your help, will you help me?"
I don't know how long it took, everyone had finished breakfast, and the sun really rose high in the sky, so I turned around and stared at Com seriously.
"Yes!" For some reason, for this sister who had just met, Kom felt an inexplicable sense of relief, it was another person besides Aunt Sophie who was so kind to him, so he instinctively complied with her request.
His simplicity made Wu Wu a little uncomfortable, and the various lines that he had already thought of were stuck in his throat.
People are like that, you can count those who have bad intentions and want to calculate you, but you can't do it to those who are pouring out their hearts and lungs against you.
But when he thought of Dumb, Wu Wu still forcibly suppressed the guilt in his heart and spoke: "I need a medicinal herb, it is said that this medicinal herb is taken care of by successive beast kings, do you know what I mean?" ”
Sanssouci didn't pick it out, but the clever Comm already vaguely understood what she meant, and his father Colin wasn't the king of the orcs.
"Sister wants me to help you retrieve the bones of the beast god?" Combe raised his clear eyes and looked carefree in disbelief.
Hearing the words of the Beast God's Bone, Wu Wu knew that he had found the right person, and he was excited, grabbed Com's hand, and said eagerly: "Yes, this is it!" I don't need you to help me get it, as long as you take me to your father! ”
Carefree didn't expect Kom to do this, after all, such a thing is too important to orcs, and humans may not know the way, but among orcs, the bone of the beast god is a talisman-like existence, which is a symbol of the replacement of the beast gods of the past generations, and it is also the pride of the orcs.
"But," Combe said hesitantly, only to be interrupted by a wave of carefree.
"Kom, I don't want you to be embarrassed, and you don't have to persuade me, I am bound to get the bones of the beast god! All you have to do is take me to your father!" Worry-free's face was heavy, with a hint of non-refusal in his eyes, Kom wanted to tell her that his father did not have the Beast God's bone, and that bone had been taken away by the army of the South Wind Empire ten thousand years ago, but looking at Carefree's hope when he heard the four words of the Beast God's bone, Kom really couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so he could only bow his head.
"Take her to her father, although her father doesn't have the bones of the beast god, but there are also beings with similar medicinal properties, maybe they can help her!"
Carefree didn't know what was going on in Korm's heart, thinking that the bones of the beast god were in sight, and Dumb would be saved, so the excitement made her ignore the weirdness of Kom's expression.
"Thank you, Com!" Sincerely thanked Com, and the eyebrows that were originally wrinkled together were loosened, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
In a forest outside Ramir's fortress, the camp where the orcs were stationed was now covered by a cloud of gloom.
Just last night, a sad event happened here, and the king of the orcs, Colin, died, in his own tent.
A scarlet dagger was stuck in his chest, the blood of the Beastmaster had infected the entire camp, and beside him lay a mad human woman, a woman of some age, with a somewhat hideous expression, her pale face splattered with scarlet blood, and it was clear that the knife that had been inserted into Colin's heart was from her hand.
"Ha Luha, finally dead, I finally killed you, you devil, you are the one who killed my relatives, and now you are still delusional about invading my human land! I'll kill you! Kill you!! ”
The madwoman laughed happily as she slapped the puddle of blood around her, laughing very happily.
"Kill you, I finally killed you, it's a pity, it's a pity that it's me who killed you, not our most obedient little Com, what a beautiful word to kill your father, it's a pity that little Com is still not ruthless enough!"
The madwoman muttered to herself and looked at Colin, who was already dead, and her soft facial features were tangled together, looking more and more hideous.
"One-eyed man, what should we do, do we just let this madwoman bully our king?" Outside the tent, an orc of the wolf clan looked at the utensils in the tent unwillingly, gritting his teeth.
"Then what can we do, I didn't expect that slut to set up an enchantment here, we can't get in at all!" Orcs don't have mages, only shamans, this is a thing that everyone knows, the only thing they can rely on is sharp teeth, and strong martial arts, originally as long as the shaman is here, he can use his unique control of the magic element to break this barrier, but unfortunately the only shaman in this one died mysteriously before the expedition, and now only human magicians can break the barrier.
"Did you catch a human mage?"
An orc soldier rushed over, and seeing his panicked look, the cyclops asked anxiously.
Hearing his shout, the orc was startled at first, and when he reacted, his eyes widened, shook his head violently, thought about it and nodded.
"Shake your head for a while, nod your head for a while, is there any?" The cyclops was furious, grabbed him by the collar, pulled him in front of him, and roared.
"There's a human magician, who came back with the young master of Kom!"
The neckline was pulled tightly, and the timid orc finally squeezed these words out of his throat, but as soon as he finished his previous sentence, the cyclops threw him down and rushed out in a rage, leaving behind the leader of the wolf clan, the second wolf.
"You mean the piece of waste is back?" Without the slightest scruple about calling Combe a waste in front of this soldier, a trace of murderous intent flashed in the scarlet wolf eyes of the second wolf.
No sooner had the orc soldier escaped from the Cyclops than he was picked up by Wolf Two.
didn't dare to look at Wolf Er's face, just nodded vigorously.
"Hmph, it's really time to come, save me from looking for them one by one!" He glanced at the other werewolf beside him, and Wolf II followed in the footsteps of the cyclops.
Thinking about it, that soldier is more than lucky.
At the gate of the orc camp, a group of four people was surrounded by a group of orcs, it was Worry-free, Qian Shao, Huo Yuyang and Kom.
After being led by Kom, several people found the orc camp without much effort, and were looking for someone to report to Colin at this time.
"Magician, where is the human magician???"
Without waiting for someone to guide the way, a rough voice came from far and near.
"Bang!! Bang!!! Bang!!"
Along with this sound, there was the sound of earthquake-like footsteps.
"Which is a human magician?" A black-pressed figure appeared in front of the four of them, casting a heavy shadow.
As soon as Sanctuary Sensei's eyes dimmed, he saw a wall-like figure looking at them condescendingly.
"Combe, why are you here?"
Before Wu Wu and the others could react, the black shadow spoke again, and this opening exploded directly in everyone's ears, like a huge thunder, shaking everyone's eardrums.
"Uncle One-Eyed !!"
Combe had already identified the comer, and at this time he was even more excited to jump directly into the arms of the cyclops.
The huge Com was in his arms, and the cyclops did not feel the slightest pressure, and gently patted Com's back, but did not speak, his eyes were shrouded in a layer of haze, as if he was hesitating about something.
"Uncle One-Eyed, where's Father? Why didn't my father come out? "Combe is still a child after all, and no matter how hard Colin treats him, Colin is still his father and his only relative in his eyes.
"He" Cyclops hesitated a little, only said one word, and couldn't say anything else.
Seeing that the cyclops didn't speak, Combe's head dropped off his shoulder, jumped out of his arms, and turned to the carefree people: "These brothers and sisters are the human friends I just met, and they are my saviors!" ”
Kom is also a sensible person, in this period of war between humans and orcs, the appearance of the three carefree is particularly sensitive, and he naturally brought the hat of a lifesaver to several people when he introduced.
The cyclops was a little strange, and when he heard that Com had been in distress, he carefully observed him for a long time, and only after making sure that he was okay did he begin to examine the carefree people.
It's human, it's just a little more pleasing to the eye than the humans I've seen before, but it's still human after all!
This is the most bitter conclusion in the heart of the cyclops.
If they had brought Kom back safely in normal times, he would have thanked them and sent them away, but that had happened, and there was something else that needed their help.
For a moment, the cyclops froze in place again, looking at Com, who didn't know his father's death, and at the human magician who had something to ask for, and didn't know how to speak
