When the others were a little flustered, Liu Jiaotou said: "Continue to attack, this should be the same as the mutated scarecrow, and it will recover by burning itself." As he spoke, he made an assassination move, and a sword aura swept by, directly cutting off the hand that the skeleton held the weapon.

The skeleton was burning again, its broken arm bones about to return to normal in the hot flames, and its body became even darker. Taking advantage of the slowing down of its movements as it recovered, He Ming once again unleashed an assassinating sword qi, accurately slashing into the gap between its vertebrae. The skeleton paused, and at this moment, a large spiraling fireball and a fire charm also hit the target, and the skeleton's body erupted with bright flames, making the cool cave extremely hot at once.

When the flames dissipated, all that remained was charred ash on the ground. Seeing with their own eyes that a half-orc who had been a complete orc a few minutes ago was now transformed into this form, and everyone present was shocked. And there's the dark shadow in the shadows that casts the spell to cause this mutation. Liu Jiaotou immediately made a decision and said: "The situation is strange, and we are not well prepared, so we will return immediately to report to Lord Wang!" ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned around and returned the same way, after Liu Jiao's head was pressed, He Ming walked forward, and the four of them naturally sped up. When I walked not far from the exit, I found that there were two skeletons wandering around the entrance of the cave as if they were aimless.

Fortunately, he has already dealt with them, and Liu Jiaotou is now in his chest. He directly commanded: "He Ming, you deal with the one on the right, I will deal with the one on the left, the situation in the cave is weird, you must be cautious!" ”

When He Ming and the skeleton were circling around, they found that this monster attacked quickly, but the intersecting bones were particularly awkward when it moved, especially when it turned around, which could be described as slow. So He Ming leaned over while feintting, and when the skeleton just attacked, he immediately quickly turned around the skeleton to the side.

In the process of the skeleton's difficult turn, it had been injured by Mo Rin's fireball, and it inevitably had to burn itself to recover from its injuries, taking advantage of this pause, He Ming concentrated his mind and used a perfect assassination sword qi to amputate the skeleton's lumbar vertebrae.

The skeleton, with its broken vertebrae, quickly burned itself in the flames, turning into a pile of ashes. Here, Liu Jiaotou also got rid of his opponent.

Just when Liu Jiaotou was about to learn about He Ming's battle situation, there was a sound of bones rubbing, "Cluck, cluck!" "Coming from the depths of the cave, from such a distance, you can hear it so clearly, there is no doubt that a huge number of skeletons have appeared.

He Ming was about to speak, when suddenly Liu Jiaotou slashed at him with a sword!

When He Ming reacted in time and avoided this sword in an instant, he found that a cave maggot that was half a meter long had been cut into two pieces by Liu Jiaotou, and it was also a mouth full of sharp teeth!

Liu Jiaotou shouted: "Run to the entrance of the cave, quickly!" He stood there and waited for everyone else to run towards the hole, and he ran out as fast as he could, the sound of gurgling bones drifting away as they ran.

When they saw the first ray of sunlight outside the cave, the stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground.

When the people guarding outside the cave saw them coming out, they were about to come up and ask something, but before they could speak, Liu Jiaotou shouted directly at them: "Go back to the camp, leave now!" Without hesitation, the others got up and left.

When they arrived at the camp, Liu Jiaotou and everyone put away their things and prepared to go to the post station to settle down first, while telling everyone about the situation, and then he analyzed: "When an ordinary orc mutates into a skeleton, the frontal combat power can be close to that of a half-orc warrior, but the speed of action is slower. Besides, they haven't been seen outside the cave yet, and now I can only hope that these monsters don't appear in the sun. ”

The mage leader said, "That said, but if this is the lost civilization of the orcs, the situation we have to face is not so simple. To be honest, I wish the investigation had been clearer. ”

The Taoist priest in the lead also said: "The original mutated scarecrows made me uneasy, they broke the laws of nature. Coupled with these orc mutations, I definitely won't be able to sleep well until the situation is clear. ”

Liu Jiaotou said: "That's true, but the things inside are too weird, our current strength is really limited, let's go back and report to Lord Wang first." Then let's see if we can gather a bigger force to investigate, we can't just die in vain. ”

The others discussed it, but there was no other way, and when the camp was packed, they went to the inn to rest, and then returned to Biqi when it was daybreak.

The next morning, when everyone returned to Biqi, they said goodbye to each other, and He Ming followed Liu Jiaotou directly to Lord Wang's mansion.

Lord Wang didn't deal with official business today, but studied the orc-related classics at the request of the city lord, and when he heard the report that Liu Jiaotou was coming, he hurriedly asked them to come to the study.

He Ming followed Liu Jiaotou and walked to Lord Wang's study, and saw that Lord Wang was already standing straight waiting for them. Lord Wang cared more about this matter than they could have imagined.

Seeing Lord Wang's concern, Liu Jiaotou hurriedly gathered the half-orcs in the northwest mountains, and spent time and energy to send out an ancient cave, and told Lord Wang about the strange changes of the half-orcs inside, and introduced the comparison of the monster's strength in detail: The half-orc looked like an ordinary half-orc, and after being burned into a skeleton, his combat power was not under a half-beast warrior.

After listening to these things, Lord Wang's wrinkles looked deeper: "I will report this matter to the city lord, it is a hidden danger no matter what, and now Biqi can't afford any accidents." Since you are the ones who have experienced it firsthand, I hope that you will be able to help you in this matter. Alas, I really don't want anyone to be hurt anymore. ”

Liu Jiaotou said: "Where is Lord Wang, we are duty-bound. What's more, this matter is inseparable from the whole Biqi, the so-called husband is responsible, and we should do something. If you need to let us know, we're leaving. ”

Lord Wang said, "You go to rest first, and I have to ask you to contribute next time!" As for He Ming, you have a good memory and a strong desire to learn, so stay and help me study something these days. ”

He Ming listened to the compliment, and after Liu Jiaotou went back, He Ming was waiting by Lord Wang's side, only to see Lord Wang staring at him and asking, "Sounds like you also went into the cave together, is there something carved on the wall?" He Ming said with some embarrassment: "When they were all concentrating on whether there was any danger inside or any mechanism, I took care of the murals." There are indeed carved murals, and there are some strange symbols that are not a bit like half-orc words, and the murals are some of the affairs of half-orcs, but time is pressing, and I don't understand their contents too well. ”

Lord Wang opened a book and pointed to some symbols to show him: "Then do you see that these symbols are similar on the wall?" He Ming was taken aback and replied, "There should be!" I'm not sure, but there are definitely similarities between the way those symbols are written! ”

Lord Wang said, "I recently discovered this book. There was an unpopular scholar in ancient times who did not know how to get the translation of the orc script, but for many years it has been a matter of debate whether or not the orc civilization really existed. No one cares about the half-orc text he painstakingly translated, and only a small part of it can be used now, so let's see if you can write it down. I hope it will be used in the orc mural by then, but the number of words that can be translated is very small, so don't expect too much. ”

He Ming had long had the idea of learning knowledge from Lord Wang's side, and his thirst for knowledge had always been stronger than other desires, but because he knew that he was a warrior cultivated by the city lord with huge resources, he still decided to take on the responsibility of a warrior.

Therefore, He Ming cherished this opportunity very much, although those symbols were simply whimsical and there were no rules to follow, he still memorized the dozens of half-orc characters that he could use in a short period of time.

Lord Wang looked at him with satisfaction, and when he said goodbye, he suddenly said, "Lord Wang, if one day we humans are out of this dangerous situation, I hope to learn this knowledge by your side. ”

Lord Wang smiled and said, "Don't wait until that day, if you have time to come over, you can read these classics." ”

He Ming saluted gratefully and returned to his residence.

In the days that followed, He Ming practiced martial arts more diligently than before, he repeatedly practiced in the hope of taking a step forward faster, and even sprained his ankle once with too much force, and there was always some kind of uneasiness lingering in his heart. On this day, when he was about to leave the martial arts hall and go out of the city to find some multi-hooked cats and scarecrows to practice actual combat, Liu Jiaotou called out to him: "He Ming! The city lord has approved a team, and we will set out today to investigate the orc cave! How about it, He Ming, do you want to go with us? ”

He Ming had been looking forward to this day for a long time, although there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but his belligerent personality directly prevailed, and without the slightest hesitation, he decided to set off with Liu Jiaotou. When I arrived at the gate of Xicheng, I saw that there was already a team of more than 100 people ready to leave.

The captain of the guard at the gate of the city explained to the few people who led the team: "Now the soldiers except for the guarantee of defending the city have been transferred to you, and the adventurers in the city who can come in handy have also been recruited, if you suffer too many casualties this time, the problem will be serious, you know?" Everything should be done to keep the team safe, and have a good trip! ”

The leaders all shouted in response. He Ming began to observe the situation of this team at this time.

Except for the fifty soldiers with neat steps, the other people of ** shape are not so formal, and there are some people with hoods and cloaks, who can't even see their faces, He Ming couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Perhaps the battle that will determine the ultimate fate of Beechcraft is just around the corner.
