It is a ruin buried by vines and weeds.

Several goblins are gathering around a campfire, roasting a fat mountain hare.

Suddenly, a dark shadow enveloped them......

Before the goblins could come to their senses, a large thick hand lifted the leader of the roasted hare like a chicken.

The remaining goblins looked back and were so frightened that they quickly turned around and knelt on the ground, trembling......

In front of them was a group of fierce and vicious orcs, and the leader was none other than Black Stone, the pinnacle of Black Iron.

Blackstone looked at the goblin who was picked up by himself and trembled with fright, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He threw it to the ground and said:

"Where is your leader?"

The goblin fell to the ground, but he didn't get angry.

I saw that it hurriedly got up, and while smiling flatteringly at the giant mountain, it pointed in one direction and gestured "ahhhhh

Looking at its funny expression, Heishi snorted coldly, and took the rabbit meat from the campfire and took a bite.

Soon, however, he frowned and spat out the rabbit meat in his mouth, seemingly dissatisfied with the goblin's craft.

Watching his movements, the goblin panicked and kowtowed.

Blackstone didn't say anything more, but kicked the goblin:

"Lead the way."

His voice cannot be denied.

……

Led by a few goblins, the orcs made their way to a collapsed building in the ruins.

The goblins took a few steps forward, and with all their hands and feet, they lifted a patch of straw, revealing a large hole in the side of the building.

Then, they sinked into it expertly.

The orcs bent down and followed the goblin into the building.

The building is littered with collapsed ruins as well as discarded garbage, giving off a discordant smell and leaving a winding path in the middle.

Led by the goblins, the orcs continued to go deeper.

And as they went deeper and deeper, the vision in front of Heishi and the others gradually broadened, and finally they came to an empty cave in seven or eight turns.

This is the hidden stronghold of the cave tribe in the Elven Forest, and it is also a transit point for hunting elves.

In the center of the cave is a bonfire, around which three orcs are lazily sleeping.

And beside them, there are several goblins, holding huge leaves and fanning them.

In addition to them, there is a man-made stone prison in the deeper part of the cave.

Through the bars, you can faintly see a few pairs of eyes shining with fear and despair inside.

Blackstone first glanced at the stone prison with a surprised expression, and then turned his gaze to the three orcs.

Seeing the orc sleeping leisurely, his already vicious face looked even more ugly.

I saw him snort coldly, walked straight over, and gave each of the three of them a kick.

"What kind of bastard, arguing about your half-orc grandfather's sweet dreams!"

The three orcs gasped for a kick and roared as they angrily drew their weapons.

However, when they saw the appearance of the person who came clearly, their faces suddenly changed, and they immediately withered and became cringe.

"Uh...... Lady Kuroishi, you ...... How did you get to the base? ”

They smirked, and hurriedly hid their maces and broadswords behind them, flattering.

"Hmph, three pieces of waste with no vigilance at all!"

Heishi first cursed with hatred, and then said in a deep voice:

"Lord Jushan sent me to investigate some of the situation, I have something to ask you."

The three orcs glanced at each other, and their expressions gradually became serious:

"Are you here to investigate the disappearance of the orc hunting party?"

Blackstone glanced at them and nodded:

"That's one of my goals, but before I do that, I'd like to ask you if there's been any change in the Elven Forest lately? Especially...... It is near the ruins of Fei Leng Emerald. ”

Hearing Heishi's words, the three orcs were slightly stunned, they looked at each other, and then shook their heads:

"This ...... It seems like...... There's nothing special. ”

Heishi's expression sank slightly:

"You'd better think again...... Don't tell me you've been sleeping in the cave all this time. ”

As he spoke, the coercion of the black iron upper position on his body gradually emanated, and the three black iron lower orcs did not dare to breathe.

Under the coercion of the high-ranking existence, the three of them knelt on the ground almost at the same time, their faces changed drastically in fright, and beads of sweat continued to fall.

Suddenly, one of the orcs raised his head and shouted as he shuddered:

"Lord Blackstone, I'...... I remembered, I remembered! I remembered that something was wrong lately! ”

Hearing his words, Blackstone gradually put away his deterrence:

"Say."

The orc, who knelt on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said tremblingly:

"Recently...... Recently, there seem to be more low-level demonic beasts nearby, and many of them are demonic beasts that used to only operate on the side of Fei Leng Cui, and they seem to be migrating collectively......"

"Huh? Low-level Warcraft migration? ”

A sharp glint flashed in Blackstone's eyes.

In the Elven Forest, the territorial consciousness of the Warcraft is quite strong, and under normal circumstances, this kind of migration will not occur.

And once there is migration, there are generally two situations.

One is that they have found a better place to survive and actively migrate.

On the other hand, they feel some kind of threat, they are forced to migrate......

The Elven Forest is rich in products and is simply a paradise for Warcraft, so the first case is rare.

Not to mention the barren area around the stronghold where the cave tribes were settled......

So the first case can be ruled out in the first place.

So...... The results speak for themselves.

"What are they hiding...... Something made them feel a sense of crisis and had to migrate en masse. And the source ...... I'm afraid it's in the Fei Leng Cui! ”

Blackstone's eyes flashed.

If his prediction was correct, I'm afraid this was the key to the chief priest of the mountain asking him to investigate.

After a deep groan, he asked again:

"Is there a powerful monster in this?"

The orc who replied shook his head:

"No, no...... All of them are very weak Demonic Beasts, and the highest is just the first to enter the lower rank of Black Iron, so we didn't care about it before. ”

Weak Warcraft?

Blackstone's eyes flashed again.

This shows that the threat is not very strong, at least those high-level demonic beasts do not feel the crisis......

For a moment, Kuroishi remembered the strange elves in the oracle mentioned by the chief priest of the giant mountain before leaving.

"Elven ...... Fighting Goblins"

He fell into deep thought.

Could it be ...... Is this the strange elves that Lord Giant Mountain mentioned about doing ghosts?

There is also the Grim Reaper's Favor mentioned by the chief priests......

"That's right! That's right! Two more things come to mind! ”

As Blackstone brooding, an orc raised his hand.

Blackstone looked at him:

"Say."

The orc took a deep breath and said:

"About a month ago...... Dozens of goblins fled to the colony, but most of them seemed to have been frightened in some way and were very mentally unstable......"

"In addition, Lord Rock, their final destination is the core area of the Elven Forest where Fei Leng Emerald is located......"

When Heishi heard this, his face sank:

"Why didn't you say these words earlier!"

The half-orc trembled slightly, and said cautiously:

"That...... Goblins have always been timid, and we couldn't understand what they were screaming, so we didn't care...... As for Lord Rock...... Lord Rock...... Just now I was nervous...... Forgot about ......."

"Humph, rubbish!"

Blackstone cursed.

He didn't look at the three orcs again, but kept assembling the information he had gotten in his mind.

Faintly, he already had some kind of guess:

"A group of low-level elves have returned to the Elven Forest, they seem to have been favored by the Grim Reaper, and they have expelled the Goblins of the Emerald and the nearby demonic beasts, most likely planning something in the Emerald of the Elemerald......"

"Among them, it is likely that the Grim Reaper is involved, and the disappearance of the orc hunting team led by Rock is likely due to the discovery of their secret ......"

"The strength of the Grim Reaper's Favor should be strong...... Otherwise, they would not have been able to meet with the rock, and even if I had the holy relics given to me by the chief priest, I might not be able to fight against them. ”

"If you rush into the Emerald, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous......"

"Hehe, it seems that those long ears are not as loyal as the legend, and they will be involved with death......"

There was a hint of mockery on Blackstone's expression.

With a flash in his eyes, he asked again:

"Are there still demonic beasts fleeing around?"

"I didn't ...... That's right......"

The orc who replied trembled.

Blackstone fell into deep thought again.

The monsters are still being banished, which means that the elves are still moving around the Emerald Jade.

Other words...... He should have a chance to scratch his tongue around the Emerald!

This should be a safer thing to do!

Thinking of this, Blackstone gave the order:

"You go and gather a group of goblins, and follow me to investigate the situation around the Emerald."
