Chapter 902: Heaven Will Come Down to Earth
The mess all over the ground, Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Since we have mana, why do we have to walk over." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
This made the other teammates suddenly wake up, maybe the mana has been blocked for too long, and it is too comfortable in the heavenly rest area, almost useless, and they are about to forget about this stubble. So everyone intently invoked their mana and began to fly.
Because her teammates' mana was obviously much behind, she had to slow down and let her teammates follow.
"No, no!" Regel shouted and fell to the ground, followed by the others.
"It's so tiring." Regel said to her, "Cheng, you need to pay full attention to flying, I'd rather go." ”
It's only been less than a kilometer, so it's not good? Even Rudolph gasped slightly: "But it's too draining, let's go." ”
Hades' black feather pendant seems to enhance her mana. No matter how high the mana of mortals is, it can't compare to those gods, except for the convenience of changing things in the rest area, there is almost no chance to use it, and she almost thinks that this increased mana is a supplementary benefit of the pendant to bless her.
She agreed, and everyone started walking and walking. It was past the pile of corpses just now, and there were footprints on the ground that had been stepped on by the orcs just now. It was these footprints that proved what had just happened, and tens of thousands of orcs were bombarded by her.
The tree was still far away, and before it could be reached, it was dark, and fortunately I walked into a village. The village was already large by medieval standards. There are about forty or fifty simple houses with mud walls and grass roofs. There are not many materials here, and the grass, mud and stones on the ground are the building materials for these round earthen houses. But the ground here is covered by a layer of hard, small white stone flakes, which seem to be unique to this place with a slight crushing sound with every step of the way.
"Hey, anyone?" Gordon shouted a few times, but no one answered, and there was no one in the village, and there was no living thing.
In the open air, there are still fires left in the bonfires, and not far from the bonfires, there will be a firewood pile. Seeing that the fire was about to go out, Regel hurriedly ran to fetch some firewood and added some to it.
The fire burned again, and her teammates went around the four rounds, while she stayed by the campfire and watched the fire. The layout of this village is very interesting, there are bonfires lit in the middle and around the perimeter, and the houses are quite large, could this be the place where the orcs lived just now?
After a while, all of my teammates returned. At this time, the fire does not have the effect of heating, as if here, there is no problem of temperature, and the bright light of the fire can play a role in lighting.
The feedback from teammates is that there is no one else here. A few straw mats were found, spread them on the ground, and everyone sat down around the campfire.
At this time, the clouds had disappeared, and the huge canopy of the tree seemed to be faintly distinguishable in the dark night. But it is impossible to see what it looks like in a crystal ball, only the top of the huge trunk, which is forked, and the top is bigger than the trunk of the tree below that is like your mountain.
It's really a big tree, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's unimaginable that a really super invincible tree grows on a planet. If you can look at it from space, the big tree looks like it has been transplanted, and the planet is like a round ball of earth wrapped under the big tree.
Once you've confirmed the location of the tree, the next step is to get there, climb up, find the fruit to nibble on, and the task is complete. The road at night is not easy to walk than during the day, and besides, you also need to rest and sleep.
The grass in the campfire was constantly burning, and they kept adding grass to it. The grass is as thick as a twig, and when you throw it in and burn it, it "beeps" like a dry twig.
Gordon threw another handful of grass: "One thing is strange, don't people here have to eat?" ”
I don't know, at least they don't have to eat, and they don't feel hungry until now, they just feel a little tired and need to rest.
"Maybe eating grass?" Regel, who had just been inspecting with Rudolph, turned his gaze to the haystack next to him. The forage here can feed a large herd of cattle, and the grass around it doesn't grow much, and I don't know where it comes from.
"Wait a minute!" Rudolph stood up, walked into the nearest room, and came out in a few moments, with a monstrous skull in his hand.
"It seems that these orcs have a penchant for leaving behind the skulls of their ancestors." He sat down, holding a skull the size of a basketball in his hand, and broke open the jawbone of the skull, pointing to the socket inside: "Generally speaking, the teeth of those who eat coarse grains are more likely to wear out than those who eat fine foods. You can see the diet from the wear and tear of the teeth, obviously... They do eat, and they have canine teeth on both sides, which are predators. ”
Needless to say, this skull is larger than the average human skull. And those orc armies, before they were blown into pieces, they could be seen to be taller than humans, basically two meters to two meters five, and their heads were a little smaller than the large ones, and they were much larger than humans.
"What to eat? There are no animals here, not even a vole's. Sneijder also felt unlikely, could it be that Rudolph had misjudged?
"Tell me, Hamlet." Regel joked that he must have remembered the scene in Hamlet where the prince sits by the grave with a skull in his hand and says "live or die".
Rudolph smiled, put down the skull in his hand, looked left and right, and picked up a white stone chip on the ground: "You take a closer look." ”
The stone flakes covered the entire village, and she picked up one at random. As soon as you touch your fingers, you know that this is not a stone, the stone is smooth, and this one is a little rough... I seem to know what it is, but I don't dare to lick it with my tongue, and if I can lick it, I can be completely sure. Because the bones will have countless cavities, the saliva on the tongue will be immediately absorbed by the dry bones.
The rest of his teammates naturally understood that everyone had seen a lot of dead bones, and Rudolph had also taught a lot about it. Regger swallowed: "Could it be that ... They eat people? ”
Rudolph threw away the fragments in his hand: "After eating, break open the bones and eat the marrow inside, and some of the bones are made into jewelry." The rest is useless, and it is idle anyway, so it is simply smashed into such pieces and thrown on the ground to pave the road. ”
Most of the orc remains were wearing white jewelry, which turned out to be bones.
"I've met a cannibal." Snead looked at the bone fragment he had just picked up in his hand, which was only half a finger long at most: "But you can't just eat your own people's lives." ”
If you only eat your own people, then it is impossible for the group to continue, and it will be eaten up soon.
"Other species should be eaten, there may be other people here. I didn't just see a bowl, I just thought about what it was made of. Rudolph gestured with his hand, and it was the size of a sea bowl.
Snead suddenly realized: "The skull of another race. ”
"It's so oozing, I feel a chill down my spine." It's not just Regel, it's everyone else. In the dark night, sitting on the ground full of bone fragments, and the surrounding houses have all kinds of utensils made of human bones, it is terrifying to think about.
Regel suddenly said, "There is good news or bad news, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Everyone stood up, and Snead said, "Needless to say, we all already know." "There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it sounded like five or six horses.
"It seems that there are not as few animals here as you think." Gordon originally wanted to draw his sword, but put down his hand: "By the way, we have mana." ”
She adds: "In dreams, any animal can exist, including dragons. ”
"Then I'd really like to see the dragon." Sneijder joked, "But not the fire-breathing dragon with wings in the West and guarding the golden treasure, but the long dragon like a snake in the East." ”
"I want to see it too." She is also relatively relaxed, after all, her mana can do quite a lot now, and she still needs to be afraid: "It is said that dreaming of dragons is a good sign. ”
"Here they are." Rudolph also planned not to hide, Cheng Qianxun could kill all the orcs in one fell swoop just now, what are these five or six people on horseback.
It's a person, when I saw some people riding horses, I was a little excited in my heart, I didn't expect that there were still living people here.
These five or six people, dressed in strange clothes, with very little materials, and were not willing to bring a big cloak that was very fashionable and forced, rode bare-horse, and even the horse did not even have a horse chew, and came over with both hands grasping the mane behind the horse's neck.
When they came, they dismounted at a distance of five meters. It should be said that he rolled off his horse, and after crawling a few steps to them, "Pouton" knelt down, raised his hands high and fell to the ground, looking like he was throwing himself to the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "Great god, at last he heard our prayers, and sent the heavenly generals to help us kill all the orcs." ”
Rudolph asked tentatively, of course, standing up straight, elongating his voice, and speaking majestically: "Are you sure that we are sent by the gods?" ”
"Of course, of course?" They still didn't dare to raise their heads: "Only the gods have such a great ability to wipe out all the orcs at once." ”
"Only the heavenly generals of the gods will wear battle uniforms made of gold."
"Those man-eating orcs have finally been punished as they deserve, and the gods have finally destroyed them." It was very pious, and I was very grateful.
It seems that Rudolph's analysis is correct, there are two kinds of people in this place, orcs and the one in front of him. Orcs eat meat, and in the case of lack of resources, they naturally have something to eat, and it is people who are caught, so they also treat people as a big meal.
Judging by the appearance of the orcs just now, they should have organized an attack, and they just landed on the ground crookedly, destroying all the orc troops that were about to attack. And the golden armor on their bodies has naturally become a symbol of "heavenly generals".
It's funny to think about it, she also lengthened her voice, and pretended to be majestic: "That's right, the gods heard your prayers and sent us over to help you. Now you can go back, continue to bow down and worship the gods, and live a good life. ”
"Yes, yes, merciful gods, thank you. We all thought it was going to be over, but we didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, all the orcs were wiped out. "Naturally, they are grateful, and if they lose, they will be used as food for the orcs, and now they don't have to die or fight, and all the enemies have been eliminated.
I don't want to get entangled, I don't need food, water, or supplies right now. It seems that these people have too few supplies to scrape anything, but the horse is good and can be used as a substitute for walking. Then she added: "In order to show your piety, leave all your horses and go back to report the good news and to convey the gospel of the gods." Then, in a few days, come and look for the horses. ”
One of them strengthened his courage and asked cautiously: "May I ask the heavenly general, what if the horse is lost?" ”
Rolled their eyes, but there was a real lack here, look at the clothes on their bodies, all the fabric was only enough to make a pair of pants, and it was still ripped fashionable. Horses are probably the most valuable belongings to them. After thinking about it, she continued to pretend to be a ghost: "If you can find proof that you are sincere, and if you can't find proof that you must have done something that displeased God, this is your punishment." ”
Rudolph also helped, and made it taste like what is written in the scriptures: "Burn the grass into torches, light the way back, and spread it to the world, and the gods will come, and any danger will be turned to ashes in front of the gods, and they will bring about their own destruction, and blessed are the believers." ”
So these men went to the pile of firewood and straw, put up a few handfuls of grass, tied them into sticks, lit them with fire, and then really threw down their horses and went back with torches.
These horses are also tired, they gnaw the grass in front of the firewood and straw, so thick and hard grass, they can still get used to it, chew it crunchy, and when they are finished eating, they lie down on the grass pile and sleep, and they can roll one with their tongue and continue to chew. You don't have to tie it up at all, it's very well-behaved. Besides, they can't be bolted, they are all bare horses, without reins, and they can't be bolted.
It was time to sleep, so everyone lay down on the straw mat, and all the pieces of bone were pressed under the straw mat. The white bones covered almost the entire village with a layer of white. Try to pick it with your hands, and you will find that everywhere you go, it is at least a centimeter thick. How many bones does it take to get to that point? It may also be accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was dawn again, and when they had slept enough, they began to rummage through the village for useful things. When I stood up, I saw that about two or three hundred meters away, someone knelt down in front of him, his hands followed his body to the ground, and he raised them again. Something is shouting in his mouth, maybe it is praising the gods and asking for blessings.
Kowtow until you are comfortable and satisfied, stand up and walk. The people behind came in an endless stream and continued to bow down in the same way as before, but none of them took a step closer.
"Think of this as a holy place." Rudolph said, "Let's go." ”
Gordon turned on his horse, still happy: "Michael annihilated the 150,000 Assyrian army that invaded Jerusalem overnight, Cheng, you wiped out the orc army at once, and did what the gods did." ”
Regel also started the article: "By destroying the man-eating monster, justice is upheld and believers are protected." ”
She smiled, got on her horse, and the group continued on to the Dream Tree. (To be continued.) )
