Chapter 60: Once Upon a Time in the Misty Island

Zhuo De ran for several miles in one go, looked nervously behind him, and found that the dragon showed no signs of catching up.

Sure enough, the Wyvern didn't take them seriously, just stumbled upon the move of destroying them, and after pulling out the watchtower, the Wyvern didn't even have the interest to pursue them, because if they really wanted to chase, no matter how fast they ran, they were no match for the Wyvern, after all, the legs couldn't compare to the wings.

They were ignored.

Although he survived because of the ignorance of the flying dragon, he didn't feel good in his heart.

How many times has this been?

Zhuo De sighed and slowed down: "Marven, don't run, it didn't catch up, we're in the safe zone." ”

"Huh?" The man named Marven didn't mean to stop, and quickly looked back, "Zhuode, let's run back first, in case the flying dragon catches up again, we won't be able to run away." ”

Marven is notoriously timid, and Wyvern doesn't dare to enter the safe zone at all.

However, Zhuode did not laugh at him, because Marven's parents had left because of the attack of the Wyvern, and Marven was just a child at that time. Therefore, it is not easy for the timid Marven to muster up the courage to sign up for the perimeter guard, although unfortunately he was attacked by the flying dragon for the first time.

After passing a familiar hillside, the outline of the village is in Zhuode and Marvin's view.

"Great, we're home!" Marven cheered and quickened his pace.

"Marven be careful! There's orcs over there! Suddenly, Drod caught a glimpse of a group of orcs tiptoeing towards the village in the grass behind the hillside.

Whoosh~whoosh~

The orc's eyes were also very good, and almost at the same time they spotted Zhuode and Marven who were running, and dozens of orc axe-throwers immediately threw the short-handled throwing axes over.

Marven didn't react at all when he was excited, seeing that dozens of short-handled throwing axes had already flown in front of him, but he didn't even make a dodge move.

Zhuo De was so anxious that he kicked his legs and pounced on Marven, throwing the sluggish Marven to the ground at the last moment, and dozens of flying axes grazed Zhuo De's back and smashed into the ground.

Orcs are different from Terrans, they don't know how to use bows and arrows, but they must not underestimate throwing axes, this is the experience that the tribesmen have learned with blood.

This orc team of more than 100 people is just the enemy's vanguard, and if you don't return to the village as soon as possible, you won't have a chance.

"Zhuode, thank you." Marven finally came back to his senses.

Zhuode pulled Marven up, and ran to the village with all his strength when the orc axe-throwers attacked again: "Don't say it, run quickly." ”

The orcs couldn't keep up with Zhuode and Marven, who ran like the wind, and they were the fastest runners in the village.

"The orcs are coming! The orcs are coming! ”

Zhuode and Marven shouted as they ran.

"Look, it's Zhuode and Marven who are back!"

"What are they shouting?"

"It seems to be...... Beasts, uh, beasts attack?! ”

", hurry up and ring the bell to call the police!"

Zhuode and Marven grabbed the rope thrown from the city wall with great dexterity, and no one dared to open the gate directly when the orcs attacked.

Behind them, the orcs who had been exposed stopped hundreds of paces away, the orcs had a lower IQ than the Terrans, but they were much stronger than the Terrans in terms of physique. In the case of close fighting, the beast soldiers are enough to defeat one enemy and two, but in terms of long-range firepower, the range of the bow and arrow is several times farther than the flying axe of the beast soldiers, so under the watchful eyes of hundreds of archers on the wall of the village, the beast soldiers did not dare to attack rashly, and the beast soldiers who were the vanguard could only watch Zhuo De and Marven climb the city wall.

"Two boys, good skills." The garrison at the head of the city patted Zhuode and Marven after questioning.

"Your Excellency complimented me."

Zhuo De and Marven pointed to the beast soldiers outside the city: "My lord, the watchtower was destroyed by the Wyvern, and we found these sneaky beast soldiers on the way back. ”

The garrison nodded: "You have worked hard, go back and rest first, and I will send someone to find you when you need it." ”

The village where Zhuode and Marven are located is called Kolo Village, a second-class village with a population of more than 10,000, located in the northwest of Misty Island, with several large mountains to the south, the sea to the north, a huge swamp to the east, and a vast wilderness to the west.

After another village to the south was breached by orcs a few years ago, Kolo Village became the only remaining human settlement on the Misty Island, because of the special environment on the island and the scarcity of wood, so the walls and dwellings of the village are basically made of stone, and the binder material is mud from the swamp in the east.

Zhuode and Marven walked on the tattered road in the village towards the direction of the dormitory, Misty Island is extremely scarce in food, and the environment on the island is not suitable for growing ordinary crops, the villagers' main food is all kinds of mushrooms planted, or some small animals hunted, such as rabbits are a few respectable people can enjoy the food, ordinary people have never been able to eat meat a few times in their lives.

The dormitory of the two of them is a small round house, the walls are piled up after the gravel and mud are mixed, the roof is composed of a horizontal log and some thick branches of shrubs covered with a large amount of hay, when it rains, the water leakage in the house is more serious, the ground is laid with some gravel casually, the flatness is very reluctant, because the village cannot produce glass, so there are only a few small holes in the house, and the light is relatively dim.

But no matter how tattered it is, this is also their home.

As soon as Marven got home, he lay down on his stone bed and fell asleep, although the thick hay could prevent his body from being hurt by the stones below, but it was really not comfortable.

"You lazy pig!"

Zhuo De slapped Marven on the ass, only to get this guy to snort.

After finding some dried mushroom cakes to cushion his stomach, Zhuo De took a few throwing guns in the corner of the wall to a well-lit place at the door, and patiently polished the slightly rusted tip of the spear with a grinding stone, the fog on the misty island is too heavy, the steel is very easy to rust when it encounters water vapor, and the steel production in the village is also very limited, so it is necessary to do a good job in the maintenance of weapons at ordinary times.

Grinding the tips of the throwing guns one by one until they were shiny and sharp, Zhuode tidied up the room again and lay down on the bed, looking at the roof and thinking quietly.

Misty Island is an island shrouded in thick fog all year round, the island was originally uninhabited by humans, I heard the old man in the village say that many, many years ago, there was a big ship that strayed into the Misty Island, because the ship was seriously damaged after encountering wind and waves, the people on the ship could only abandon the ship and go ashore, in this strange and desolate land, the ancestors starved for many years, and finally succeeded in gaining a foothold after many people died.

Misty Island is not a paradise, it lacks food, fresh water, wood, and many necessities, and that's not the deadliest of all. There was a group of wyverns in the swamp east of Misty Island, and the ancestors did not know the ferocity of this creature when they first encountered it, and after paying the price of nearly half of their lives, the ancestors had to give up the settlement and break it into pieces to survive.

Until one day, a giant dragon descended on Misty Island.

No one knows where the dragon came from or why it came to the Misty Islands, in fact, the fog in the Misty Islands is limited, and it is very easy to fly out of the fog with the dragon's power. The dragon was much larger than the Take-off Dragon, but because the Dragon was so similar to the Wyvern, the ancestors were very afraid of it and only dared to observe the dragon from a distance.

Once, several ancestors chased by the dragon panicked and accidentally broke into the dragon's resting place, and unexpectedly, the dragon not only did not kill the humans who accidentally entered, but also helped the humans drive away the dragons.

And then things were even more unexpected to everyone, people found that the dragon was injured, and the injury was not light, the dragon's wings were about to be torn, and after a long flight and without treatment, the wound had begun to become inflamed and festering, which is why the dragon had been lying in place to rest, it was sick, very sick, and after helping humans to drive away the dragon, it fell into a groggy sleep again.

After a heated argument, the ancestors decided to help the dragon, and everyone got busy, cutting the rotten flesh with knives, washing the wound with water, applying the herbs they found to the wound, and then bandaging the wound with the canvas left behind by the big ship.

The dragon also woke up a few times during the treatment of the dragon, and at first it was not very receptive to humans climbing up and down on it, but after a while, it slowly accepted the help of humans. In fact, there was more than one wound on its wings, and after the people bandaged it, the dragon motioned for the people to stand back, and it struggled to stand up, then lay down on its side, revealing dozens of wounds on its stomach.

The wound on the wings was not the most serious, a scorched black wound in the middle of its front paws was even more alarming, the dragon scales fell off a large piece, the wound was still oozing blood after I don't know how many days, this wound was almost fatal, the well-informed people in the ancestors said that it was a wound caused by the powerful fire magic, the huge explosion shattered the dragon scales and fell off, and the high temperature almost baked this piece of skin.

It took more than a month to treat the treatment.

There happened to be a master apothecary among the ancestors, and after using up all the potions, everyone found more herbs on the misty island, and the apothecary tried his best to refine a huge amount of potions, and people smeared buckets of potions on various wounds in the abdomen, especially the shocking wound in the middle of the forepaws. The dragon's vitality was tenacious, and over the course of a month, the wounds began to scar, and then a new layer of skin gradually grew, and people caught any animal they could encounter on the island and fed it to the dragon to ensure that it did not starve to death.

Two months later, the dragon rose into the air again, and a dull dragon groan resounded throughout the Misty Island, a dragon groan of excitement and joy.

In the days that followed, the dragon and the humans helped each other, and the dragon drove away the harassing dragons, and even hit the dragon's lair on the east side of the island in order to establish its power, and after killing several dragons, no dragon dared to chase and kill humans. The dragon has carved out a safe zone for humans, and no wyvern is allowed to enter within 20 kilometers of the center of the village of Kolo, and once the dragon enters this area, it will be mercilessly killed by the magic circle placed by the dragon in the village of Kolo.

After the dragon's external injuries were healed, the internal injuries did not heal, and in the years that followed, human pharmacists continued to refine various potions for it, although the misty island lacked a lot of survival resources, but there were still a lot of medicinal materials and various minerals, so it could barely supply potions in barrels.

A few years later, the pharmacist, who had become ill from overwork, fell ill and died.

The dragon abruptly left the Misty Isle after leaving something behind and never returned.
