Chapter 7: The White Wolf's Claw
Supporting Syldo, who was limping away, Xu Yichen and the others found the cave where the captain and his party originally planned to take shelter from the rain, on the back of a small hill, there was a winding stream flowing next to it, and the weeds at the entrance of the cave were trampled on a large area, which spread to the depths of the forest.
"That's it, I was alone outside trying to find a safe place to make it easier, but the captain and they were blocked inside by the orcs as soon as they entered... Sildo leaned weakly against a stone in the cave, the whole cave was less than 4 meters deep, the ground was a little higher and there would be no rain pouring in, and the cave was quite dry.
Xu Yichen carefully identified the footprints on the ground, trying to distinguish the number of orcs, the knowledge learned in school is also applicable in the game, but the theoretical knowledge needs to be practiced before it can be transformed into practical skills.
Sildo hesitated, with a look of shame: "I watched them get taken from behind a tree, I was only one person, I couldn't do anything, the first mate found me, but he didn't say anything." I'm a coward, Poseidon has saved me twice, and won't give me a third chance. β
"Don't lose hope, friend, your God has saved you twice, proving that He doesn't want you to die today. The way will always come to mind, I'm going to go, follow their footsteps, go to see the situation in the orc gathering place, you have to hide yourself, as long as I don't die, whether I can rescue the captain or not, I will come back to pick you up. But if I don't come back by this time tomorrow, you'll have to find a way to survive on your own, good luck to us! Xu Yichen sorted out his equipment, turned around and walked out of the cave.
"If anything happens, you go down the creek to the Arnhem River, and along the banks of the river you will find Camp Rog... Sildo's voice came from behind him: "If you do run into the captain, tell him that I will never be lazy again." β

The footprints on the ground, the broken grass and trees, the garbage discarded, and the orc's rude way of opening the way left enough obvious traces for Xu Yichen to use his theoretical knowledge to find out the location of the orc camp in the jungle.
After a few hours, the tracker finally saw his target, a rudimentary orc camp that had been disguised with branches and dirt on the spot, and Xu Yichen hid on a tall tree, using dense foliage as cover, observing the entire camp from a distance of less than 10 meters.
The camp was small, with a few sharpened logs stuck upside down in the ground, forming an oval circle. The trees in the camp have been cut down, and only a few dwarf shrubs have survived because of their well-developed root systems. The orcs were oblivious to insects and diseases as the jungle's worst enemies, and many of the strong orcs sat on the wet ground, while others slept soundly in the rain with their helmets on their pillows.
In the northwest corner of the camp, a tall wooden shelf on which a strong human was nailed. The palms of the two hands were fixed on the wood on both sides by iron nails, and the feet were nearly half a meter above the ground, and the weight of the whole body was hung on the nails nailed into the palms of the hands. The naked upper body is covered with scars, a long gray hair is messily draped behind the head, the head is lowered, the body is swaying back and forth with the wind, and life and death are unknown.
There were several tents in the middle of the camp, and an orc who was two and a half meters tall and stronger than the other green-skinned people came out of one of them, with two huge fangs with a metallic sheen, and when he opened his mouth, the voice was even louder like a cannonball, roaring in the language of the orcs.
A few lazy orcs reluctantly got up from the ground, shouting orc language in their mouths, one of the leaders also spat in the direction of the steel-toothed orcs, and then the two greenskins fought with their bare hands in the middle of the camp, and a group of small greenskins carried the guys to watch the excitement on the side, and the lazy ones took the opportunity to lie back again.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the camp, Xu Yichen came down from the tree and quietly touched one of the tents.
The pungent stench almost made Xu Yichen pass a will test, the ground was covered with blood stains that had been black for an unknown amount of time, the loot seized by the orcs was piled up here, the armor that did not meet the aesthetics and size of the green skin, and the weapons were thrown in the tent at will.
Some of the broken armor still had rotting limbs, and Xu Yichen saw that a boot still contained the calf part of the previous user, and it was thrown in the corner, as far as the eye could see, most of the armor and weapons could not be used without repair and maintenance.
Only a sword handle is carved into a wolf's head style long sword inserted in a huge orc head, the sharp blade reflects the ghostly light, Xu Yichen reached out and pulled out the long sword, the hilt is slightly longer than the average one-handed sword, the finely carved wolf head counterweight can not only ensure the center of gravity when used with one hand, but also take into account the feeling of holding in both hands, the sword is about three feet long, the sword body is wider than the traditional common, the blade is deeper, the overall weight is heavier, and it is more conducive to chopping rather than piercing.

Holding the claw of the white wolf, Xu Yichen felt that he had underestimated the difficulty of the background career task, although there was no comparison, but the weapon in his hand was definitely an heirloom-level item, and the owner of the claw of the white wolf was most likely the guy who fell outside, and the demon hunters were all kneeling, this small orc camp hidden dragon and crouching tiger, Xu Yichen adjusted the danger of the task by two levels in his heart.
In addition to worrying about the mission, in order to use the claws of the white wolf, Xu Yichen needs to bear the punishment of dexterity-2 due to his lack of strength, and it should be the characteristic that he cannot activate the weapon if he is not a demon hunter.
After carrying an additional weapon, Xu Yichen felt the body of the dexterous -2 back, adjusted it, and slowly moved to the shadow of another tent under the cover of the tent. Using a scimitar to cut a small opening, Xu Yichen saw that there were wooden cages in the tent, and several human captives were hugging something in a circle.
"Hey!" Xu Yichen lowered his voice and shouted, trying to attract their attention.
As a result, a group of captives didn't know if they were too involved, and none of them heard Xu Yichen's voice. Xu Yichen used a scimitar to widen the gap enough for himself to get into, and finally someone found him.
"Wait brothers, someone has come to save us!" An unkempt bearded man at the end of the line slapped his accomplice in front of him: "Who are you?" β
"Captain Amus Rockefeller is here?" Xu Yichen counted a total of nine people, two more than when the captain and the others were captured.
"I'm Captain Amus Rockefeller!" A middle-aged man who was fairly neatly dressed replied, and despite being locked in the orc's cage, he subconsciously tidied up his clothes before getting up and replied, "I remember you, you are the Cyris adventurer!" β
"It's my captain, I've found Sildo, and I'll see if there's any chance to get you out." Xu Yichen finally saw what the captives were doing in a circle, and a young sailor with a freckled face was trying to open the small door on the other side of the cage with the wire in his hand.
"Thank you very much, Seris, but it's hard to get out of this place on our own, I don't know how much risk you took to sneak in, but there are so many of us who can't hide those green-skinned noses." The captain spread his hands, feeling that the chances were slim.
Just then, the door of the tent was lifted, and a tall orc entered.
Xu Yichen: "I think I can explain... β
