149. To the Night Wolf Cliff, go!
Morning in the moor came unusually early, and the warm sunlight shone through the tent curtains, waking me from my deep sleep. The white snow arm of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info has been pressing on my chest, no wonder I have been climbing the mountain in my dream last night, and I am as tired as a dead dog in the dream. The fluffy red hair was scattered on the pillow, and a few strands of hair naughtily covered my face, making me feel itchy. Caterina was asleep, as cute as a kitten, her long eyelashes were still shaking, and she didn't know what her dreams were like.
I gently pushed her slippery arm away and crawled out of the sleeping bag. I still clearly remember that this sleeping bag was made by me and Kuzi when we caught guinea pigs in the Star Lake Grassland, looking at the dense threaded feet, this is Sister Singh's craft. The wolfskin mattress is very warm to sleep on, and it is best to use it to block the moisture on the ground.
On the other side of the tent, Kige was still sleeping with a blanket rolled up. Only at this time, she took off the light makeup on her face, so that she could appreciate her beautiful face, and she would always deliberately make herself more ordinary. Probably she slept too late yesterday, and she has always liked to meditate in the morning, but she still hasn't woken up.
I stuck my head out of the tent, and the orcs outside seemed to have not slept all night, and the round sausages were still boiling in the big iron pot, and a little orc girl carefully lifted the scroll above her head, and gently unfolded it, and a ball of water quickly rolled into the soup pot. The girl licked her dry lips, looked at the sausages floating in the pot, and showed a greedy look, she gently swallowed the saliva in her mouth, untied the water bladder from her waist and poured a mouthful of cold and sweet water, and walked to the next cauldron with the scroll.
Make sausages from those skewed sheep intestines. Naturally, I came up with the idea. There are more than a hundred argali, which are slightly smaller than ordinary war horses, and there are many more groceries than expected. We couldn't make them into jerky or dried meat and take them away, so we just mixed the minced meat and fascia from the argali, and the haggis. Mix the black flour into a viscous paste, add some salt and the dried herbs we found in the moor that can replace the seasoning, and pour them into these sheep intestines, and the coarse sausages are made. These sausages are cooked in a large pot and then smoked, and although the taste is not very good, it is not so strong. The most important thing is that these sausages will not go bad if they are left for ten days or eight days.
I put on a light armor made of antelope skin, but I wore a pair of linen leggings underneath. I don't like that light armor dress very much, and I don't usually wear it to be embarrassing. When I came out of the tent, I saw that many orcs were asleep lying on the side of the pile of filled sausages, and it seemed that they had been exhausted for the past two days.
Not far away, the meat racks with short-marked guns were hung with half-dry butcher shops, neatly stacked in rows.
The old man's voice sounded from behind me: "This meat can make at least 15,000 catties of dried meat, and if you save a little food, it will be enough for our people here to eat for a month." These argali's sheep are more meaty than wild asses!"
I turned to see the old Orc of Gribatichin standing behind me, who had been doing tribal chores lately. My eyes were red, and I quickly said, "You should get a little more sleep." β
"As soon as you get older, you feel lighter!" Gribaschen rubbed his face vigorously with his big dry hands, to sober himself up. "See these meats. I can't sleep all night! Those gray dwarves are a great gift for us!"
I smiled bitterly, and I am afraid that no one knows better than me and Kig how much we have to give. One hundred and thirty-six enhanced Frost Scrolls. In the end, there were only thirty-three that were fully usable. In this battle with the Grey Dwarves the day before yesterday. We've used up a hundred and three Enhanced Frost Scrolls, even if we sell all of them. The gold coins exchanged are not enough to buy scrolls.
Bundles of hammer-like weapons were tied together by leather ropes and stacked in stacks. The orcs of the Laitu tribe did not like this one-handed hammer made of bronze very much, and they preferred the short-handled one-handed axe, so after picking and choosing, the remaining captured weapons were packed in bundles and ready to be taken away.
"Let's go to Qinghai Lake, can we get around the Night Wolf Cliff?" I asked Gribaschin. I wanted to avoid the harpys, who could even scratch through the skin armor of the demon antelope and fly into the sky, which should be very difficult.
Gribaschin shook his head silently, and I sighed and ran away.
The little orc girl sat quietly beside her mother, holding the magic scroll that could condense water balls in her arms, she looked at this magic scroll with some curiosity, her eyes were very bright, and her expression was focused, as if she wanted to know why there was so much water stored in this small scroll, and it was not used up all night. The little orc girl's grandmother was the one who was first taken by the old orc of Gribaschin, who was lying asleep on the oil-stained grass with her body curled up, her otherwise clean leather blouse stained with oil and water, and a dozen oily sausages on the parchment beside her. After I gave the sausages to the beast girls, the old orc Gribaschen also changed the remuneration of these foreign beast girls after their work to smoked sausages, after all, sheep lungs are far less easy to preserve than sausages, and they will spoil after a few days of storage.
The little orc girl took out a small oil paper ball from her arms, and took out a piece of sheep bone that was not too big from the paper bag, this bone, there is a special name called Galaha in the orc language, and there is a little bit of meat tendon on this piece of Galaha, the little orc girl licked her lips, carefully pinched the end of the tendon with two fingers, put Galaha into her small mouth and gently sucked it, when she closed her eyes, that intoxicated expression made my heart a little heavy.
Suddenly, a thought came to my mind that I had never thought before, who was the victim of this era.
I walked over softly and sat quietly beside her, and the girl felt that someone was coming by her, and opened her eyes blankly, and when she saw me, she was a little embarrassed to spit out the bone in her mouth into her palm, and winked at me, as if asking me for my purpose. I took out a packet of dried lamb shanks from my bosom and opened it in the palm of my hand. Take a piece of dried meat and bring it to her mouth.
The little orc girl pursed her mouth slightly, and thought hard for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head slightly.
I was so strange that I asked, "What, don't you like it?" This tastes so good, you can taste it first!"
The little orc girl shook her head again and said, "I know it's delicious, but I can't eat it, I don't have anything to give you, I only have this!"
The girl raised her left hand, spread out her palm, and showed me the galaha she was holding in her hand. I could even see that there were marks left by teeth biting on the bones. There was no meat left, but she was reluctant to throw it away. I blinked my slightly sour eyes, and said with a reluctant smile: "I don't want you to give me anything, but I heard that the marian grass you picked is very neat, almost the same length, next time you go to pick it, remember to bring me some, I want to use it as a rope!"
The orcs are very resistant to charity. They prefer to barter or exchange for labor. When the girl heard me say this, her eyes immediately lit up, and her teeth kept biting her closed lips, and with some hesitation she took a small piece of meat. I put it in my mouth quickly, but I was reluctant to chew it, but I felt the taste of the dried meat with the tip of my tongue in my mouth. When the not-so-large piece of meat melted away in her mouth quickly, the girl couldn't seem to believe it. How exactly it was contained by itself, that sweet taste had never been tasted before.
When she looked up a little embarrassed. I had quietly placed a packet of dried meat in the palm of her hand, but I had already gone far away to see the argali, which had been driven back from the wasteland to drink, and they were all fat and strong, and they were mounts that could be sold for a good price. At this time, the old shepherd of the Laitu tribe will ride on a sturdy argali, wielding a long horsewhip, and the crisp whistling of the whip can be heard at the slightest wave.
Not far away, the curtain of Kuz's tent was lifted, and the maid Asakusa came out with a basin of water, presumably changing Kuz's wound medicine again.
Miss Qi used a large amount of hemostatic grass to refine a bottle of healing potion last night, but Kuzi was so stunned that she was reluctant to use it, so angry that Miss Qi almost dropped the bottle of healing potion.
There are so many people who can work these days. So, Kuz and I spent a lot of time idle, and then we worked together to calculate the recent gains and losses, and we still made money. Those tens of thousands of catties of dried meat, nearly two hundred argali, more than four hundred pieces of chain mail and weapons, and some gold and silver coins collected from the gray dwarves, there were more than thirty gold coins together. There were even dozens of water bladders filled with golden cider made by the dwarves, but unfortunately the most crucial gray dwarf leader, Barent, was not caught, and he might have something good on him. The total value of these supplies has far exceeded 100 gold coins, and the most important thing is that we are short of these, food and animal strength.
When we set off again, the number of the team had increased to more than 600 people, and some of the beast girls who had fled the wasteland and were already homeless were slowly being taken in by us and slowly joining our tribe. Now that he has a large amount of dried meat and no longer has to worry about the food to eat, the old orc Gribaschen began to think about the development of the tribe.
As for the control of personnel, Gribschin's level is still very strict. Usually he is more receptive to young and sturdy orcs, and all along, in the tribe, orcs are regarded as the property of the tribe, so in the wasteland, when picking those orcs who have fled the wilderness, those orcs and orc children are the easiest to accept.
As a result, there is an extreme imbalance between men and women in this tribe. Except for the old orcs and children, the tribe is full of strong beast women. Gribaschen looked down on the orc men who were living in the wilderness, thinking that they should take their families to hunt in the wilderness, and it was a shame that the most orc man would hide in the wilderness behind him and dig wild vegetables to survive. Another reason why Gribatisin only accepts beast girls is that the basic strength of the current Laytu tribe is somewhat weak, and those beast female warriors who have just picked up short javelins have not yet grown up.
Now that we have nearly 200 argali, we didn't have to walk hard, and in the end we still didn't avoid the Night Wolf Cliff. Finally, on the morning of the third day after that battle with the Grey Dwarves, we headed for Nightwolf Cliff again.
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
Standing on a high place, we can already clearly see the towering peaks that penetrate into the sky, and some orcs who are familiar with the terrain of this area tell us. That is the highest mountain at the southern end of the Western Wilderness, Nightwolf Cliff. Thirty miles further south. You will clearly see a cliff-like strip from there to the south. The whole Western Wilderness is like, the whole land suddenly sinks a few hundred meters, and a very clear fault zone appears. At the foot of the Night Wolf Cliff, there happens to be a very deep ravine that connects the two places.
It is rumored among the orcs that tens of thousands of years ago, the most powerful warrior of the orcs, the Beamon Behemoth, led the Cyclops Legion and the Thunderbird Legion to fight to the death against the demons of the demons on this plateau, and finally, with the help of the elven king and the human dragon knight riding unicorns. Eventually drive those demons to hell. However, in that field, there was a level 40 fourth-turn earth magician, and in order to block the army of evil ghosts that numbered more than a million, he used the fourth-level high-level magic "Earth Shaking and Mountain Shake". At that time, this magician had an artifact in his hand, the "Earth Spirit Ball", and this fourth-level magic actually completely collapsed the entire southern area of the Western Wilderness, trapping all those evil spirits in the collapsed area.
Thousands of years later, a grassless Qinghai Lake appeared in the collapsed place, and after walking south from Qinghai Lake and crossing a Gobi Desert, you would reach the edge of the Death Swamp. There. Now it has become the territory of Kuz. The entire northern part of the Death Swamp is Kuz's territory, and as long as you hold the Nightwolf Bluff, you have to go all the way west to get to the Death Swamp, bypassing the entire rift. Entering from the westernmost part of the northern edge of the Death Swamp, most of the Blood Wolf Orcs living on the edge of the Death Swamp are concentrated at the westernmost edge of the Death Swamp.
I rode on an argali, wearing a demon antelope skin light armor battle dress. Gallop through the wasteland, Miss Qi behind her constantly urging her mount. chased me desperately from behind. I shouted and saw a tall mound that drove the argali, driving the argali, to the very top. Kige's equestrian skills are good though. But this kind of meek argali, which can be easily controlled without any exquisite equestrian skills, so, I finally surpassed Miss Qi with my eyebrows raised. At this time, sitting on the back of the argali, although the thighs were ground to the pain of fire, but the heart was exceptionally comfortable.
Miss Qi slowed me a few steps and climbed up the mound after me, leaving Caterina far behind by the two of us.
When we stand on this mound, so close, we can feel the pressure of this giant peak that reaches into the sky. Looking up at the sky, I always had the feeling that the mountain was falling towards me, and the clouds were flowing through the mountainside, making the peak weigh down on my chest. At this moment, my spiritual sea suddenly lit up, and I felt the earth element in those giant peaks, and in this case, I entered a state of deep meditation.
The thick earth element breath filled every inch of space, I greedily felt the heaviness of the earth element, I seemed to be alone in the mire, those heavy earth elements wrapped my legs, slowly pulling me down, I wanted to stretch out my hands to struggle, but suddenly felt that the whole body fell into the mud of the earth element, those earth elements kept squeezing into my body, so oppressive that I couldn't breathe, I was suffocated, my face was red, I had to tilt my head and gasp.
At this time, the star map in my body suddenly lit up, and the nodes where the magical elements were gathered were like stars shining in the night. Those rich earth elements wrapped around my body, slowly integrated into the star map in my body, the rich breath of earth life began to grow in my body, I felt strangely at this time, my spiritual sea is also slowly changing, the golden sea of water appeared under the sediment, those sediment is actually pure earth elements formed, they are constantly nourishing the golden sea water, the whole spiritual sea at this moment, suddenly became so vivid, those foaming golden waves kissed the white and soft sand, the breath of life of the earth slowly blended into the golden sea water from the fine sandγ
I quietly felt the changes in my body, slowly realized the characteristics of these magical elements, and tried to use my magical perception to contact these magical elements from the outside world, but there seemed to be an invisible membrane between us, which I could see, but I couldn't feel it.
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up from deep meditation, the world in front of me became so clear that I could no longer feel the earth elements in the air around me, Qige sat on the argali, looked at me curiously and asked, "What happened to you just now?"
At this time, Caterina rode argali, and caught up from behind. (To be continued.) )
