Chapter 248: The Temple

The hurried noise kept surging in his ears, and seeing the young man's pale face, Ye Nuan was very curious in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that the beast tide in the orc world seems to have messed up the whole city, and the negative emotions such as fear, fear, and panic fluctuating in the air, like a monstrous wave hitting Ye Nuan, stimulated her brain for a while. Pressing his forehead heavily, Ye Nuan suppressed the sudden invasion of spiritual power.

Orcs, as the top existence of this biological chain, even if they can only maintain their beast form, it is no different from the appearance of a beast, whether it is attack power or defense power, it is considered top-notch, and what is there in the beast tide that even they will be afraid of?

Noticing Ye Nuan's somewhat inquiring gaze, Moxi hurriedly pulled Ye Nuan to run towards the center of the city, and Lunsa followed closely behind.

"You haven't experienced a beast tide, so you probably don't know how terrifying the beast tide is. I know you have a lot to ask, but now we have to find a safe place to stay. I know there's a shortcut to the temple here, quick. ”

While running, the young man explained a few words to Ye Nuan, but obviously this made Ye Nuan's curiosity even stronger. Based on the experience of impaired mental power, Ye Nuan didn't dare to release his spiritual power violently in such a critical situation this time, but only made a protective shield to wrap around her and Mexi, and then separated a few wisps of the remaining spiritual power and floated away.

The road led by the young man is very remote, almost all of them are interspersed with alleys and street corners, and there are even barriers in some places. Ye Nuan saw that some people were hiding in the house, and then hurriedly closed the door, for fear that he would be entangled by death in the next second. The panic in his eyes is not a confusion about a sudden accident, but a dark memory, a fear engraved in the depths of his soul.

"Can't we borrow someone else's house for a while?" Ye Nuan asked suddenly.

The young man shook his head quickly, "In addition to the land beasts, there are also air beasts in the beast tide, and at this time they have fallen into a state of madness, and they only think about eating in their minds. If the other orcs set a precedent for taking in others, the people who were nearby would probably rush to them, and in the blink of an eye, they would be targeted by the wild beasts in the air, and they might be the ones who died. Moreover, the wild beasts in the beast tide have some special abilities, where there is more blood, they will go wherever they go, and the population is gathered in one place in large numbers, the more vulnerable they are to their attacks. The only thing that can accommodate us temporary entrants now is the temple, where there are powerful guards, and possibly even the priests who have made it to Vato. ”

"The beasts in the beast tide are terrifying, and even you can't resist them?" Quietly kicking away a piece of bluestone that almost tripped over Moxi, Ye Nuan asked.

"Huh, yes, those beasts retain the most primitive inheritance in their bodies, some are infinitely powerful, some are invulnerable, and even the number of special systems is quite a lot. Every year, they gather together from different places at a time of choice to besiege the city at the same time. Although the strength of the orcs is great, they are not invincible, and they are ...... In short, this phenomenon has been going on for hundreds of years, and there is still no solution to it, and we, the frail civilians, have to take refuge. As he spoke, the young man paused, and as if he didn't want to mention it, he jumped over.

Ye Nuan naturally noticed it, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "And what?" ”

As soon as her words fell, a huge black shadow suddenly descended not far ahead, followed by a strange wind that was enough to shake the bodies of Ye Nuan and others, and the yellow sand that blocked everyone's sight.

Ye Nuan's divine sense found that the black shadow suddenly stretched out its sharp claws and plunged straight into the body of the person in front of them before everyone could react in time, and the hot blood splashed all over the ground, and the orc could only let out a muffled snort, and was caught by the black shadow to the sky, life and death unknown.

"No, Brother......"

There was another person next to the natural person who was captured, who was originally stunned by the sudden occurrence, and when the black shadow flew into the sky and left only a residual wind, he shouted violently, his expression extremely painful and sad.

"Come home, Ah Cong, your brother is not saved, he fell into the hands of those devils, and he can't be saved. If you don't come home, they will reunite your brothers underground. Someone whispered from a house next to the street.

"No, no......" The man shook his head heavily, tears crawling all over his face, evidently grief-stricken.

Moxi, who reacted, paused, looked at the scene in front of him and frowned, but to Ye Nuan's surprise, he immediately pulled Ye Nuan and continued to run.

seemed to know what Ye Nuan wanted to ask, and his voice was not as low as usual, "If you don't leave, we will be affected." ”

"What about that person?"

"If you keep crying, you will die. Everyone in the Orc Continent knows what the Beast Tide is all about, it was he who gave up saving himself, and no one could save him. Even if he was too sad because of the loss of his loved ones, it was not enough for him to give up his life, life is the most precious thing that the beast god has given us, and no one can trample on it. Besides, the people in the next room know him, and if they can, they will come to the rescue, and compared to these neighbors, the most dangerous thing is us. ”

Echoing Messi's words, there was a high-pitched cry in the air, the owner of which was making a forced landing, and the figure was getting closer and closer to them. The end of the story is obviously that the person was rescued just now, but sadly, Ye Nuan and they were targeted.

"Roarβ€”"

Lunsa, who was walking at the end, yelled, and the figure ran faster and faster, almost pushing Ye Nuan and the others in front of the back.

Messi didn't dare to look back, his face was blue and white for a while, although he looked flustered, but the movements of his hands were carried out in an orderly manner. He let go of the hand that was holding Ye Nuan's cuffs, and began to push the idle items that were temporarily parked at the end of the street, and Lunsa did the same, and after the chaos over there delayed the pursuit of the black shadow, he pulled Ye Nuan and ran under the eaves of the house.

At this time, no one spoke, just buried his head and ran quickly. However, the hurricane brought by the shaking of the wings of the black shadow disrupted their escape route, and one item after another was lifted, revealing the shadows of two people and one beast inside.

Ye Nuan turned around, and a malicious gaze directly broke into her eyes.

Those round eyes are a little weird, obviously looking at you, but it seems that the soul is not in the body, and it can't see through what is inside, and all prying eyes are blocked out. The huge body was like a puppet puppet controlled by some kind of evil thing, only caring about making killing, frantically killing and eating the alien orcs in Vato City, and lost its rationality.

Seeing that the giant bird still had a trace of blood on its mouth, but its eyes were looking straight at her, Ye Nuan's eyes sank.

Well, she seems to have been taken as the prey of this predation.

Turning his head, Ye Nuan looked at the wrist that was tightly held by Moxi, and the spiritual power blade in his brain burst out violently, turning into an invisible dark force and slashing heavily at the black shadow's head.

The young man was so anxious to run for his life that he didn't notice what was happening behind him, but he didn't know that the strange bird that was chasing them had already fallen to the ground suddenly, and his strange eyes exploded from the middle, and his whole head was covered with flesh and blood, blurred, and finally he convulsed on the spot a few times, and then died no longer dead.

"Whew, Lunza, is the strange bird still with us?" Running towards a corner alley, the young man hesitated and looked back at his contractor as he ran.

Ye Nuan only heard a few roars from the ocelot that seemed to be in the same tone, and soon the young man exclaimed, "When did it disappear?" ”

"Before we turn? Didn't it just set its sights on us? Others say that this kind of bird and beast is particularly obsessed with its prey, which is too strange. ”

"Okay, okay, I didn't let my guard down, look, there's a temple ahead, let's go in and hide."

Ye Nuan saw that the young man and the leopard cat could communicate with each other without any obstacles, and he felt very strange in his heart. If human leaves can do the same, then there is no need to learn a foreign language at all.

However, as the young man said, soon a splendid and magnificent building appeared in front of Ye Nuan and the others, combined with the previous words of Moxi, there is no doubt that this place is a temple.

"Will they accept foreigners too?" Ye Nuan suddenly said.

She didn't know the power of the temple and the priests of this world, and the worst thing she could do was to be recognized as an orc when she entered the temple later. She's good enough to be able to take refuge in space at any time if there's danger, but it's clear that the two of them could be involved in her. She has no good intentions, but she is not a wicked person who will take revenge.

Messi thought that Ye Nuan was worried that she was a member of the Sea Clan and would not be accepted by the temple of the Orc Continent, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the temple is far away from the world, and it will not participate in the affairs of those races and political factions." The monks inside are dedicated to worshipping the beast god, and they will not see death in front of the beast god. ”

Immediately, the young man took Ye Nuan into the temple. The rest of the matter was exactly as she said, no one stopped her, even if she received the attention of several monks because she looked different from other natural people, but soon they also withdrew their gaze, and continued to chant something in their mouths, and no one suggested that it was wrong.

The surroundings were crowded with ordinary naturals and orcs, and Moxie took Ye Nuan to a remote place in the temple before finally landing down.

"The inhabitants of Vato City are either not at home, or they are hiding in the temple, and who will resist the tide of beasts outside the city?"

Seeing that everything was settled, Ye Nuan looked at the dense crowd outside and asked.

"The samurai fed by the city guards and the lord of the castle are in charge of fending off the tide of beasts. But I have a feeling that Wato City is probably going to be a little dangerous this year. It was only attacked by a beast tide three months ago, and as is customary in previous years, it was safe for at least ten months, so we came here to sell salt. But this year, the beast tide broke out ahead of schedule, and the City Lord's Mansion may not be fully prepared, I'm worried about ......"

"What would happen if the guards and samurai of Vatow City were not able to withstand the tide of beasts? And why didn't the birds attack the temple? "Land beasts can be kept out of the walls, but species flying in the sky cannot. But obviously there were strange birds attacking the strange orcs in those street corners and alleys before, why did there be so many people here in the temple, but they didn't attract those wild beasts?

"We still don't understand why, just like they spontaneously gather every year to attack orc towns, and the temple is excluded from the attack circle. Probably because they are also the life of the beast god, they dare not offend the great beast god and his servants. Of course, there are still many guards guarding this place for safety. Messi explained.

Ye Nuan raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this, it turned out that there was a differential attack, but she didn't think that those birds and beasts who had fallen into madness still had faith and reason to speak of. The beast tide is attacking the city for food, and it is very likely that they are afraid of something by choosing to give up attacking the temple, but what is there in it that will make those beasts who have lost their minds still fearful?

His eyes swept the entire temple, Ye Nuan didn't find anything wrong, stone statues, offerings, incense platforms, these are all extremely ordinary things.

After a moment's thought, she asked, "When will the beast tide end?" ”

"Not necessarily, if a powerful samurai can capture the leader of the beast tide and kill him, those wild beasts will gradually retreat. If you can't, you can only stalemate with them. ”

"Have you experienced a beast tide?" Ye Nuan asked again.

"If you just stay in the tribe, you won't encounter the beast tide, those wild beasts will only attack the city, but we sell salt everywhere and transport salt, and when we are unlucky, we may encounter it. The last time I encountered a beast tide in Vato City, it was the first time I sold salt, and the beast tide came so suddenly that it scared me so much that if it weren't for Lunza, I would have died in the mouths of the birds and beasts. There are actually thousands of orcs who die in the beast tide every year. ”

"You're lucky."

"Indeed."

"But I'm curious, how do the guards and samurai attack the beasts? Well, you know, the force value of natural people is not high enough, but the words of orcs are only in the form of beasts, so how can it ......"

Hearing Ye Nuan's question, Moxi glanced at her in surprise, her eyes drooped slightly, something flashed in her eyes, and she was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Not all orcs only have beastly forms. ”

"You're saying they can transform into human form?" This is the alien orcs in her impression, but since they exist, how can there be natural people who can't have beast bodies and orcs who can't turn into human form?

"They weren't really transformed, they just took on the form of a human for a short time after receiving the blessing of the priest. There are very few orcs who can transform into human form, and this will consume a lot of divine power of the priests and accelerate their aging in advance, so it is not always possible to send alien orc warriors to resist the beast tide, and in history, there are many cities that have been destroyed because they have not stopped the beast tide. Although those cities later moved in with new residents, what happened can never be repaired. ”

Ye Nuan thought about the history of the Orc Continent and was puzzled, "This transformation can't last?" And what is the priestly power consumed? ”

"I don't know, I'm afraid you'll have to talk to the priest to find out." (To be continued.) )
