Chapter 4: The Orc Hunting Party
Deep in the Elven Forest, a hunting party of orc mercenaries is cautiously shuttling.
"Hurry up! You shit! If you let the target escape, don't even think about taking this month's share! ”
Captain Rock held a mace made of animal bones and cursed viciously.
After kicking his subordinates' buttocks, Rock turned around, his original cruel expression suddenly dissipated, and he looked at the majestic World Tree in the distance with a smile, but the sharp teeth and ugly face made him look extremely hideous:
"Hey, hey, the priest is right, as long as you stay near the World Tree, you will definitely catch these stupid long ears!"
Thinking of the possible next harvest, Panshi's heart became more and more excited.
Since the war of the gods thousands of years ago, Mother Nature, who is the main god of the elves, has fallen, the world tree has withered and withered, and the elves have lost the protection of the true gods, and the strength of the race has plummeted.
As the most beautiful, elegant, and long-lived race on the continent of Seggs, the elves have been completely reduced to the sought-after goods of the slave trade for thousands of years.
A young female elf can sell for a sky-high price in the human world!
Even adult male elves are sought-after goods in high-end slave farms!
And the half-orc tribe that already lives on the edge of the elven forest has made a fortune by capturing elves and selling them to the human world.
Rock is even more so, he has already hunted more than ten elves, even if you count the royal family of half-orcs, he can be regarded as a rich man in the entire tribe.
"When I'm done with this vote, I'll propose to Biro, and then buy a property in the City of Chaos, and say goodbye to the barbaric mercenary life once and for all."
Rock thought beautifully in his heart.
"Boss...... Targeted, two! One is a woman, absolutely superior! No...... It is the best! ”
Suddenly, the scout's voice of surprise came from ahead.
Panshi perked up and immediately drew his mace:
"Fools! Pumping guys! Let's hurry up and surround it, be careful not to expose it, who dares to do something bad to me and smash his balls! ”
……
Alice and the others left the temple of nature, silent all the way.
The elven girl looked back at the withered giant tree, her eyes reddening.
This was the last time they came to worship......
Each time, she hoped to awaken the mother goddess, but each time, there was only disappointment.
Now, even as a saintess of the Nature God Cult, she has to admit that the main god of the elves may have really fallen completely......
The main god has fallen, the royal family has become extinct, the elven kingdom has long been shattered, the ethnic groups have fled in all directions, and the brilliant silver civilization has become history......
Under the threat of hunting parties, all the remaining tribes had to hide in Tibet.
There is no hope for the future of the elves.
Thinking of the bastards who treated their people as goods, mercilessly hunted and humiliated, Alice almost gritted her teeth.
However, they feel powerless.
Without the protection of the gods, the elves have long lost their original power.
"I don't know how many people we will have left in a hundred years......"
The girl sighed faintly.
The old priest Samir was silent.
Century......
Will it really be a hundred years?
Elven ...... There are no more races that have been formed.
Even if you have regained your power now, without the blessing of the Mother Goddess and without enough population, it will be difficult to regain its former glory.
The two walked quietly, with a heavy heart.
Suddenly, Samir's expression changed slightly, and his two pointed ears moved slightly.
His body straightened suddenly, and he reached out and bent a branch between his nose and sniffed it slightly, and then his face changed greatly.
"Oops! There are half-orcs! ”
Before the words fell, the surrounding grass suddenly sounded, accompanied by the excited roar of screaming, more than a dozen hideous and ugly huge bodies appeared from the ambush, surrounding the two of them.
Ambush!
Looking at the half-orcs who suddenly appeared, the faces of the two elves changed drastically, and they immediately leaned back to back, drawing their staff and weapons.
More than a dozen orcs looked greedily at the elf's young evil gaze, which made Alice's body tremble.
Looking at the familiar outfit, the elf girl's heart swelled with endless anger......
They've met a half-orc hunting party!
Old Priest Samir's face was solemn, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"I'll hold them back, you run away!"
After speaking, I saw him shout, chanting a subdued spell, and then turning into a black brown bear with a height of four meters!
This is his druid skill, which transforms into another natural creature in a short period of time and gains 70% of the opponent's power.
And the giant bear he changed into was a powerful third-order demonic beast unique to the Elven Forest, with the strength of the black iron superior!
Feeling the momentum of the giant bear, there was a slight commotion among the orc mercenaries, and everyone's expressions became solemn.
However, before Samir, who had turned into a giant bear, attacked, a huge mace flew abruptly and slammed into the brown bear's chest and abdomen.
With the sound of "clicking" bone cracking, only to hear the giant bear let out a painful wail, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then the whole body hit the ground, turning into the appearance of an elderly elf again.
It's just that at this moment, the old priest is already in a blur of flesh and blood, and he is unconscious and collapsed in a pool of blood......
With just one blow, the most powerful combat power is nullified.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's so weak."
The orcs let out a cheer, and then slowly stepped out of the way, and a three-meter-tall orc leader who looked like a mountain of meat walked over, it was the rock.
Rock picked up the mace on the ground and licked the blood dripping from the edge of the bone spur, his eyes full of banter.
Alice looked at each other incredulously, and her voice trembled a little:
"Black ...... Black Iron Superior ......"
The Black Iron Ascendancy means that the opponent's level has reached at least Level 31, and being able to abolish Samir with one move means that this leader is likely to have reached the peak of the Black Iron Ascendancy!
For a moment, infinite despair swelled up in her heart.
She glanced back at the withered World Tree, her eyes full of sorrow.
"Mother Goddess...... Is this your punishment for us? ”
"Hey...... Mother Goddess? Your mother tree was burned down by the gods thousands of years ago. ”
Glancing contemptuously at the giant tree in the distance, Rock licked the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
He was very satisfied with the blow he had just hit, just a few days ago, he had finally been promoted to level 40, reaching the peak of the Black Iron Upper Rank, and only 1 level was left from the Silver Rank.
God the Father is above! After this vote, I also have the funds to prepare for the promotion to the silver rank and become the most powerful person among the orcs.
Rock thought to himself.
He looked at Alice from head to toe, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his face was a surprise that could not be concealed:
"It's really good! This is the issue! ”
After speaking, he looked at the girl with a lewd smile, and threatened:
"You can be honest, you can suffer less...... Otherwise, hey, hey, hey......"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
The surrounding orcs laughed in mutual understanding.
Alice's eyes were full of anger, and she took a deep breath and drew her staff, ready to fight for her life.
However, before she could act, Panshi's figure flashed slightly, and her weapon was picked up as soon as she heard a "snap".
"It's so weak...... This bit of strength still calls itself the silver race? ”
The orc's voice was full of mockery.
Silver Race ......
Hearing this word, Alice's heart was even more sad.
In the distant past, when the elves were still under the protection of the main god, every adult elf had the strength of at least silver.
Adulthood is the race of silver, also known as the silver race.
At that time, how brilliant was the civilization of the elves? Legends and demigods emerge one after another......
And now, it is difficult for even a professional with a black iron position to come up with ......
Not only that, but he was bullied by the half-orcs who were barely called the Black Iron Race!
Alice clenched her fists, grief and indignation in her heart.
"Hey, hey, now, do you think you have another choice?"
Rock teased.
Alice gave him a hateful look, and her heart was stunned.
Alice's heart grew cold and desperate when she thought of her people who had been ruined in the plundering and killing, and of the misery of her compatriots who had been sold into slavery......
Gradually, she calmed down.
I saw that the elf girl closed her eyes and began to chant silently......
Suppressed waves of magic spread out around the blonde elf.
Panshi's expression changed:
"It's not good, she's going to blow up the source of magic to find death, stop her!"
Listening to the leader's words, the orcs suddenly rioted.
Rock was even more angry in his heart.
He wasn't worried that the self-detonation origin of the black iron median would hurt him, but he didn't want the treasure in front of him to be gone.
The living elves, that's the treasures, the dead, just the corpses!
Alice pursed her lips, and at this moment, memories resurfaced in her heart......
That was 200 years ago, when she was still living happily with her mother......
It is a fragment of the community still alive, and everyone prays to the Mother Goddess......
It was the image of her mother dying of illness and being chosen as the last saint of nature......
A crystal teardrop rolled down, and Alice recited the last incantation, which instantly detonated the power of her faith!
Brilliant light bloomed from the girl's body, like a golden sun.
The rock's facial features were distorted, and he roared:
"Stop her ......"
Before he could finish his order, the sight in front of him made him hold back his words.
A faint fluctuation passed, and the light on the girl's body flashed, and then withered like a punctured balloon...... In the blink of an eye, calm was restored.
It was as if nothing had just happened.
The atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
Rock looked at the elf girl who was a little dazed with strange eyes, swallowed the heart that jumped into his throat, and then smiled:
"Waste that can't blow itself up!"
Alice stared blankly at her hands, and kept muttering:
"Why not......"
"I didn't say the wrong mantra...... What just happened......"
"Mother Goddess...... Can't I even control my own life......"
Looking at the elf girl who fell into a stupor, Rock breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered to the left and right:
"Tie her up for me! Be careful not to get hurt! ”
After saying that, the orcs under his command did not act.
Rock frowned:
"What are you doing? Get to work! ”
The orcs still did not move, but instead looked at the rock in horror as they kept retreating.
"What are you doing?"
Panshi's expression was slightly gloomy, he was really a little angry, and a trace of anger continued to rise.
A strong orc stared blankly behind the rock, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly, his voice a little astringent:
"Boss...... After...... Back ......"
Behind?
Rock's brow furrowed.
A cool breeze blew behind him with the smell of earth, and a huge shadow covered everyone.
Rock's heart jumped, and a trace of uneasiness spread faintly in his chest.
Muttering quietly, Rock turned away with some vigilance......
His expression froze.
Behind
A giant tree man more than thirty meters tall was standing there with cold eyes.
The stout body obscured the sky and the sun, and the air was frozen by the terrifying pressure......
Looking at the terrifying figure, Panshi's pupils shrank slightly.
His eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide in horror, and his voice was dry and incredulous:
"Oak ...... Oak Guards? ”
"How is this possible?!"
Basaka's indifferent gaze swept over, and his voice was cold, without a trace of emotion:
"What did you say just now?"
