Chapter 248: The Rabbit and the Rabbit Man
Demon King Territory, North.
In the far north, in a world of ice and snow, two rows of wooden stakes are inserted into the snow, creating a conspicuous path along with the ice wall.
Two snow deer pulled a sleigh and ran along the road. The distorted space is like a huge illusion, making it difficult to distinguish the direction, but as long as you follow the path between the stakes, even if your eyes are deceived, it will not be affected in any way.
On the sleigh, a Mona, wrapped in thick, warm black leather armor, pulls on the reins and sings strange songs.
"Mona Monamo ~ Mona Mona Mo ~~ Mona Mona Mona Mona ~"
Mona, a snow rabbit transformed, has a high resistance to the cold, and is still energetic even in ultra-low temperatures of minus tens of degrees Celsius when wearing warm leather armor! But for other creatures, such a low temperature environment is a bit unbearable.
On the sleigh, Philex was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and blanket, wearing a windproof mask, tightly curled up in a ball, trying to keep her body temperature as much as possible.
As a girl from the Firefox Clan, Phylix has some difficulty adapting to this extremely cold climate, and the oncoming cold wind is like an ice blade, which can instantly disfigure people if she doesn't wear a mask! Felix didn't want a scar on her face.
After a long journey, a camp consisting of several spherical igloos appeared at the end of the road.
It is a camp made up of nine spherical igloos, which are arranged in a single "field" and connected by underground passages between them, thus forming a large interconnected camp.
The sleigh that Phylix was riding stopped at the camp gate.
Within a few minutes, Mona, who was in charge of guarding the gate, pushed open the gate of the camp and welcomed the sleigh inside.
After passing through a tunnel that stretched downwards and through another gate, Felix finally entered the camp.
It is a spherical snow room with an area of about 100 square meters, and there is a pillar in the middle to support the roof of the snow room, ensuring that the snow room will not collapse easily even in heavy snow. In addition, there is a large amount of neatly stacked timber in the igloo, which makes the igloo look a bit like a timber warehouse.
"Where are the orcs you found?" Felix jumped off the sleigh and asked Mona the doorman at the door.
Mona Doorman: "Mona Mona Mona~"
"Camp 3? I know. Philex glanced at the signs hanging on the other doors of the igloo, tightened her padded jacket, and walked towards one of the doors with the number 3 wooden sign on it.
After passing through the door, Felix entered a room that was somewhat like a kitchen.
In the middle of the room was a cold campfire, and in the corner of the wall were a large number of picked Chaos mushrooms and some black snow lotus. The carcass of a white bear with a bear's head and a bear's brain was lying upright next to the campfire.
Felix walked over and began to examine the white bear's carcass.
It was the corpse of a white bear man, and if it weren't for the fact that the bear was wearing leather armor and a helmet, Felix might have mistaken it for a normal white bear. But obviously, ordinary white bears don't wear clothes or helmets. The cold corpse had long been frozen hard, the leather clothes on the body were very simple, and the gray-white hair was as hard as a needle.
Felix examines the corpse as she recalls the distribution of the orc tribe.
According to Felix's memory, the tribes that begged for a living near the endless tundra were basically weak races such as rabbits and foxmen, while the bears were quite a powerful group among the orcs, and they would not normally run to the snowfields to beg for a living - even if they were short of food, those powerful bear-man tribes could completely raid other weak tribes. Without special circumstances, it is impossible for these powerful bear-man warriors to run to the ice field to beg for a living.
"Was it lost in the battle?" Felix looked at the bears' gear and wounds.
Leather armor, helmets, and iron palm fist gloves are obviously not available to ordinary orcs, and the scars on the bear man fully reflect that he was once a qualified warrior. At the same time, some of the wounds were new, and many places were still wrapped in bloody bandages. Judging by the condition of the wound, it should have been caused by the elf's bow and arrow.
Is this close to the border between the Elven Forest and the Orc Wilderness?
Felix thought about it, took off the thick gloves on her hands, took a deep breath, and clenched her fists!
Black flames erupted in his fist. Felix raised her fist and smashed it down on the corpse!
"Bang! ~”
The ice exploded, and the corpses shattered into small pieces of various sizes.
Felix put on her gloves and began to examine the food debris in the corpse's stomach.
"Sure enough! It seems that it is not far from the destination. ”
As Felix examined the body, Mona, the main leader of the camp, a Mona with a blue crystal on her forehead, walked in.
"Mona! ~" Mona the blue crystal saluted Felix.
"Where did you find this body?" Felix turned her head and asked Mona.
"Mona, Mona, Mona~" Mona introduced the process of discovering this corpse.
Felix took out the map and outlined the coordinates and location on the map according to Mona's description: "Coordinates 80219, direction 3, 579 meters. ”
Navigation at sea relies on the starry sky for positioning, while in the snowfields of the Far North, light is not trustworthy and can only be located by fixed coordinates on the ground.
Relying on the Mana Node as a stronghold and the wooden stakes on the snowfield for positioning, Felix managed to map parts of the Far North.
Looking at the coordinates on the map and the location where the orc's corpse was found, a smile appeared on Felix's face: "It seems that we will soon be able to hand in a satisfactory answer to our master." ”
……
Brown wilderness, rolling hills, and yellow meadows can occasionally see some white snowflakes.
Suddenly, a pair of long ears poked out of some underground cavern!
It was a pair of gray rabbit ears. Rabbit ears scouted the surrounding area like radar, and then a rabbit's head poked out of the ground!
The rabbit looked around, raised its head, and sniffed with its nose.
"Safety! ~"The rabbit jumped out of the hole.
It is a rabbit man about the height of a human boy, with gray-white fur and long ears, and looks like a large rabbit walking upright.
Rabbit people do not have a strong physique and strength, nor do they have the powerful reproductive ability of goblins, they are timid by nature, and they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, the only thing worthy of praise is their keen hearing and perception.
Keen hearing and perception can keep the rabbit at bay from powerful enemies, but it won't help them defeat powerful enemies. With the rise of human beings, the living space of orcs has become more and more narrow, and the survival of rabbit people has become more and more difficult, but there are still some rabbit people who live in seclusion in some uninhabited remote areas as a family unit - "Rabbit Eight" is one of the rabbit people living in the "mountain wolf hills".
Mountain Wolf Hill is a hill in the wilderness, named after the nest of mountain wolf monsters. Those mountain wolves who are not afraid of death and can never be killed are the only masters of this hilly area, and neither the elven kingdom nor the orc alliance are willing to waste time and energy on those mountain wolves, so Rabbit Eight's parents can settle down here and give birth to Rabbit Eight.
Because Bunny Eight is the eighth rabbit person born in the family, he is named "Rabbit Eight".
Bunny's personality is very optimistic, although many of Bunny's brothers and sisters died in the mouth of the mountain wolf when they went out to find food, and even Bunny's parents were killed on a way out to find food, but Bunny did not become negative because of this, but with twelve points of enthusiasm, hard to live!
Shortly after Bunny Eight jumped out of the rabbit hole, two little rabbit heads also poked their heads out of the rabbit hole.
"Go, go, go~ go back." Bunny Hachi waved at the two little rabbits, "Don't be discovered." ”
The two little rabbits obediently retracted into their holes.
While observing the surroundings in a shy, Rabbit Hachi cautiously walked to the top of the mountain not far away, planning to go to the mountain to reconnoiter the location of the mountain wolves!
Soon, Bunny Eight climbed to the top of the mountain.
Bunny Eight lies on the top of the mountain, looking north. That is the direction of the mountain wolf's den, and under normal circumstances, the mountain wolf will not go too far from the nest.
When the rabbit poked his head out, he saw not only a large group of mountain wolves the size of calves, but also a group of rabbits riding on the back of mountain wolves.
Rabbit?
Bunny couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
Rabbit!
Even though the bunnies were small, with a sparkling crystal on their foreheads, and they were as fat as balls, Bunny was pretty sure they were rabbits! At this time, the rabbits were riding on the backs of the mountain wolves, and it seemed as if they were ordering the mountain wolves.
Bunny touched his forehead and looked at the rabbits.
Bunny touched his forehead again, and looked at the rabbits again.
"Maybe I should get a shiny stone to put on my head, too?" Bunny Hachi feels that this world is a bit incomprehensible to rabbits.
