Chapter 10: Orc Caves in the Mountains

The doorman of the martial arts hall was hanging a sign next to the door saying that the hall was closed, and when he saw He Ming coming, he was also very familiar with He Ming, so he directly let He Ming enter the martial arts hall.

After He Ming walked into the martial arts hall, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Liu Jiaotou and several strong warriors, several people in mage and Taoist costumes gathered inside. When Liu Jiaotou saw him coming, he asked, "It's a coincidence that you came, how are your injuries?" ”

He Ming replied: "I've healed, I don't feel anything wrong." Liu Jiaotou nodded and said, "It's okay, we are on the orders of the city lord to carefully investigate the orc's movements this time." You just happened to be here, so come with us to see it. ”

He Ming hurriedly agreed, he didn't exercise during this time, and his bones were sore.

Looking at the images of the people present, they are not small people, and He Ming is obviously not worthy of Liu Jiaotou's special introduction. He Ming wanted to be familiar with it after acting together, so he didn't say much, he prepared his equipment and set off with them. After these people discussed for a while, more than a dozen people took their things and set off, and even the soldiers including He Ming carried some barracks props.

On the way, he found that Mo Rin was also in the team, but this time he was no longer hooded and completely covered his face, but wore a much more concise robe, and his thin and pale face still looked quite energetic.

The team was not moving quickly, and it was already noon after passing the post station. When they arrived at the post station, the others rested on the spot, while several Taoist priests dispersed and came back in about an hour. They said something to the team leader, and Liu Jiaotou called everyone to get up, pack their bags and continue to set off, and when they arrived at a forest, they set up camp.

Liu Jiaotou amplified his voice and said, "Everyone, according to the Taoist priest's inquiry, the scope of the recent half-orc activities ends here. Let's rest for the night here, and finish this exploration tomorrow in one day! Be sure to keep your spirits up, don't slack off. ”

Everyone agreed to continue to work, and He Ming also followed the appearance of these people, without saying much.

After setting up camp, everyone rested, and several people took turns to keep vigil. After everything was ready, it was still too early, and people went to their own places to chat with each other to pass the time. Liu Jiaotou and a few leaders have been discussing something, and He Ming naturally won't go to join in the fun. Looking at the whole team, Mo Rin, who had formed a team together, was more familiar, so he went over to chat with Mo Rin.

Mo Rin also seemed quite withdrawn, he sat alone and rested, and He Ming still responded politely when he came over. The topic naturally mentioned Sun Ji Gongzi's experience and adventure life. Mo Rin said to He Ming very politely: "To be honest, there is really an irreparable situation, and Liao Xun and I have a way to get out of danger by ourselves." But you know, something happened to Sun Gongzi who entrusted us with protection, and I won't have to mess around in Beach City in the future. So, we owe you a lot of money. ”

He Ming hurriedly said: "Where, you yourself could have escaped by yourself, and it is all up to you to survive my life, how can anyone owe anyone a favor." ”

Mo Rin snorted: "This owe is owed, I will pay you back in the future." But ah, seriously, who has not heard of five fireballs killing a chicken, He Ming's name? Now you are really impressive, and there are all kinds of rumors that Beach has a big hero again. ”

This made He Ming quite embarrassed to hear, but it was a joke, and they still chatted happily.

There was nothing to do that night, and the current range of the orcs was indeed no longer designed for this area. After watching the sunrise from afar, the soldiers on duty began to wake everyone up and prepare to leave.

Beyond the forests and wilderness north of Beach City, the majestic mountains are in front of you: the mountains are magnificent, a magnificent mountain range that stretches across the whole of Beach City, and the steep mountains block the human pace, and on that side of the mountain, there is no longer only speculation in Beach City.

The orc civilization recorded in ancient books was that they lived in these mountains. But those ancient records have no basis at all, and now, the truth may be in front of us. As soon as he thought that the ancient truth was about to surface in his own exploration, He Ming felt an inexplicable sense of excitement welling up in himself.

Orcs are nocturnal and will find a place to hide during the day, which is usually difficult to find during the day. So when the group marched quickly to the northwest mountains, they didn't see the orcs, but the mountains of animal bones, food scraps, and feces all over the ground were terrifying.

These traces clearly tell everyone that there are indeed more orcs gathered here than expected. With so many orcs gathered together, except for the Beechcraft City Wall, the rest of the human buildings were really left to their own devices, and the little protection of the post station was not enough to see. Nervous and worried, they reached their destination, the foothills of the mountains, and followed the trail to the place where the orcs were most concentrated.

It is a high mountain, and connoisseurs of geography can tell that there must have been landslides here before, and some traces of the past have been buried. At the foot of the mountain, there was an exaggerated cave large enough for several orcs to enter and exit together, and the fresh soil next to it told people that it had just been excavated. No one knew what the black hole was in, and a mage threw a fireball into it, and the fireball lit up the depths all the way, but people couldn't see the bottom.

Liu Jiaotou's expression was obviously nervous: "It seems that it's right!" This is the ancient site of the orcs that Lord Wang said! It seems that the orcs really want to recover their lost civilization? The leading mage said, "There is not enough evidence, but if we investigate deeply, everyone will probably be planted here at night!" The Taoist priest said, "It's still morning, and we still have time to go in and find out, but please arrange your time, and you must have enough time to get back to the camp before dark!" ”

Liu Jiaotou said: "In this way, I will take a few people in to investigate the situation a little, and you must pay attention to safety while guarding the entrance of the cave." In case of unexpected danger, do everything possible to go back alive and report a few of them. ”

The Taoist priest said, "I agree, remember!" No matter what the situation, you can't be inside for more than two hours, I'm not scaring you, if you don't come out by the time, or if something unexpected happens outside, we will evacuate unconditionally! ”

Liu Jiaotou said: "This is natural, we are going in to take risks, and if there is a real situation, the safety of the large army will be given priority!" Which ones will go in with me and sign up for yourself! ”

He Ming took a step forward without saying a word, and at the same time, a middle-aged and medium-sized Taoist priest and Mo Rin walked out, Liu Jiaotou nodded with satisfaction, and without saying much, the four of them got into the cave and lit torches and walked inside.

The cave in front is relatively narrow, and it looks like there are many traces of new digging, apparently forcibly dug up after being sealed. The part of the road they walked was dug out, but you can imagine how long these orcs dug up, and when they walked in, they found that the space was amazing! And from the path they walked, they could see several forks, when the firelight shone on the cave wall, it was already certain that these were not newly excavated, and there were some strange symbols and half-orc murals carved on the cave walls, He Ming felt a little similar to what he had seen in Lord Wang's book, but he didn't have time to determine what they meant.

This is really where the ancient civilization of the orcs is located! The satisfaction of his thirst for knowledge and not having enough time to explore made He Ming's heart jump out all of a sudden, but this time was not the time to think about this, he suppressed his excitement, and continued to follow Liu Jiaotou's actions with a slight tremble.

God knows how deep it is, when Liu Jiaotou was thinking about whether to move on, two scorpions suddenly came out of the crack in the stone, and this thing could not be raised in a closed environment for many years! Liu Jiaotou solved them with a knife in his hand, and decided to move forward a little more and find out.

He decided to take the middle road, that is, if there was any problem, it was still okay to return the original way without bending, and after walking through this road, they saw even more more ridiculous space. Who can imagine how far this has grown? The four of them were sighing with their own feelings. A rough ** came from a dark corner!

What happened? Morin threw a fireball to illuminate the spot. I saw an ordinary orc trying to crawl towards them. All four tensed, and then they realized that there was a vague figure over there. The figure cast a spell on the crawling orc, and then turned and disappeared into the shadows. The orc changed from ** to screaming, and then mixed up and burned, and after a while, the flames dissipated, and a terrifying, white orc skeleton stood up.

Uncanny! The four of them immediately took a battle stance, and the skeleton's hollow eye sockets flashed red fire, spotted them, and hissed towards them!

No matter how bold the four of them were, this situation was enough to scare a cold sweat, Liu Jiaotou's body moved and slashed over with a sword, and the skeleton raised a stone axe bell to block it, and then attacked desperately. Liu Jiaotou is agile and superb in swordsmanship, but he doesn't understand where the weakness of this skeleton is, and he has nowhere to start for a while, so he can only slash at it back and forth, trying to find the weakness, and at the same time, the Taoist talisman and the fireball of Mo Rin smashed on it.

He Ming is also a person who has experienced several battles of life and death, and he is no longer a novice who panics when he sees unexpected situations. Seeing the others wrestling with it, he quickly circled behind the skeleton, condensed his sword qi, and directly cut off the skeleton's lumbar vertebrae.

Seeing that it was about to fall apart, Liu Jiaotou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, there was another burst of fire on the skeleton's body, and then it returned to its previous appearance, but the snow-white bones became much grayer.
