Chapter 127: The Witch Doctor

As the troll pushed aside the dense bushes, Xiao Yi vaguely saw a little orange-red spark, which was the witch doctor's hut that Zulde had mentioned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Looks like there's someone here?" Xiao Yi said with a frown.

Zulder waved his hand at a troll, who stood up with a spear in his hand and crept close to the cave under the cover of night.

Xiao Yi saw clearly, just leaning into the cave, two huge poisonous snakes crawled out of the gap in the stone next to the cave, hovered at the entrance of the cave and raised their heads at the troll and hissed threateningly.

"Viper Guard!" Zuld breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, it seems that there is a witch doctor who is resting here. ”

After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave alone, at this time the people in the cave also heard the movement, and Xiao Yi vaguely saw a man with a bent waist and a short stature walking out.

"My lord, it's settled." Just when Xiao Yi wanted to take a closer look, Goodk came behind Xiao Yi and said.

The cave wasn't on the side of the road, but had to go through a short stretch of jungle, so after making sure that there were a small number of Naga pursuers, Goodk asked Zulde to take Xiao Yi to the cave first, while he brought a few defenders and the trolls who led the way to ambush him.

The Nagas, who were only a few in number, were still under the sneak attack, and they were slaughtered by the ambushed defenders in just one face, and there was nothing to say about it, most of the time they spent covering up their whereabouts.

"The merchant was sent away?" Xiao Yi didn't see the merchant coming up, and asked.

He had always thought that there was something wrong with the merchant, at least because of what Naga had done, so when he separated from Goodk, he left the merchant to Goodak and asked Goodek to drive the merchant away, but he didn't expect the merchant to be so happy.

Goodak shook his head and said, "He refused to leave alone, and threatened me to tell Naga if I didn't take him with me, and I had already sent him and Naga to be companions." ”

Well, Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't feel anything wrong, he had long been accustomed to the practices of humans in this world, and he was not familiar with this businessman, and even said that he was a little disgusted, so he didn't feel anything about Goodek's actions.

"My lord, the witch doctor has agreed to let us hide here for the night." Zurde, who had gone out to negotiate, also returned at this time.

Witch doctors are the most mysterious group of people in the troll group, they have a very high status and power in the tribe, and in Xiao Yi's impression, it seems that the witch doctors of trolls are good at using toxins.

Like a viper hiding itself in a pile of rubble in front of a cave and staring at everyone with a cold gaze, the serpent guard is a method often used by troll witch doctors.

Before coming to the cave, Xiao Yi squinted at the witch doctor in front of him, he was shorter than Zulde and other trolls, and at the same time gave people a feeling of withering and decaying, this blue-skinned troll had bright orange-red long hair, the voodoo mask carved from ancient wood revealed the fanatical gaze in his dark red pupils, and a pair of huge yellowed fangs protruded from under the nose as sharp as an eagle's beak.

"Honorable Elder, Guardian of the Forest, Witch Doctor Lord Zaratul, this is my master, Lord Falcon from the City of Angels, owner of the Wild West and Stormwind City." Zulde respectfully performed the troll etiquette to the troll witch doctor and introduced Xiao Yi.

"Hello, Your Excellency Zarathu." Xiao Yi nodded politely, he now needs to borrow someone else's territory to defend against Naga's pursuit, and the purpose of his trip is to diplomatic trolls, and the witch doctor has a very high status among trolls, so he is very polite.

"A human?" Although it was a question, Xiao Yi only heard the tone of the troll named Zaratul flat, and he didn't seem to care about Xiao Yi's race.

He stared at Xiao Yi for a while, then looked at the defenders surrounding Xiao Yi and said, "Zuld once helped me, you can spend the night in the soul shelter." His tone was still flat.

Xiao Yi smiled gently, this troll was very self-aware, he understood that with the strength of Xiao Yi and the others, he could easily drive him away, so he simply found a step by himself.

The small cave looks unusually neat, and there are many signs of artificial polishing that indicate that it has been tidied up many times, and the skull ornaments hanging on the walls or on the ceiling make people look creepy, which are obviously left by the troll witch doctors.

There is a bonfire burning in the middle of the cave, which illuminates the small cave transparently, expels the cold moisture, and the whole cave is warm. In one corner of the cavern, a large beast fur lay on the ground, and a female troll curled up in the fur to watch the crowd enter.

"You can rest here." Zaratul pointed to a clearing in the cave, which was just a mess of rubble and clay pots, as rudimentary as this cave.

There was no need for the maintainer to do anything, and soon the troll guards cleaned up the empty space and laid a soft cushion for Xiao Yi, and Zatura sat not far from the female troll and looked at everyone coldly.

"My lord, I've always found this troll hairy." After arranging the guards, Goodk came to Xiao Yi's side and whispered.

Sitting on the mat, Xiao Yi glanced at the troll witch doctor, at this time the witch doctor had closed his eyes, lying on his side on the mat as if he had fallen asleep, and the two poisonous snakes were quietly coiling around him.

The other female troll looked at Xiao Yi and his party very curiously, especially the bloody tooth who was also a woman.

"Zuld!" Calling Zulde, who was continuing to clean, Xiao Yi wanted to know more about this witch doctor.

You know, under normal circumstances, priests or witch doctors basically don't wander alone in the jungle, they are usually the core of a tribe, and they are not good at hand-to-hand combat, and they are basically accompanied by troll warriors when they travel.

An old troll witch doctor wandering the jungle with a young troll woman is strange to think about, and the troll witch doctor doesn't seem to care about the female troll.

Of course, Xiao Yi wants to know about this troll, not because of gossip, this witch doctor is not a skull-splitting troll, but more like a blood-topped troll, but from his words, it can be heard that he is more friendly to Zulde, a skull-splitting troll.

Xiao Yi wanted to ask Zurde, if this troll witch doctor could be recruited, if a witch doctor was recruited, it would undoubtedly be more helpful for the next action, even if the big tribe refused to do it with him at that time, with the troll witch doctor, he could also support a troll tribe, and then let them slowly encroach on other tribes, and finally unify the Valley of Thorns.

……

Xiao Yi was awakened from his sleep by the crisp sound of birds, and he looked around in a daze, a defender was standing loyally not far away, while the others, including an old man and a young troll, were gone.

"Martin, what about the others." Sitting up and moving his numb body, Xiao Yi asked the defender who was guarding the side.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Xiao Yi wake up, the defender respectfully called: "The troll guards have gone to check the traces of the Naga, Captain Goodak is on guard outside, and the other companions are preparing breakfast." ”

Xiao Yi stood up, the long march for most of the night yesterday, and the hard ground made him sleep uncomfortable, but his spirit was still very good, he armed himself with guardian armor, waved his hand at the defender and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he came out of the cave, Xiao Yi saw the troll witch doctor Zaratu washing with water under a big tree not far from the cave, and painting the picture pattern with oil paint. The tree had two strings of skeletons hanging from it, and the knots were made larger with colored ropes, making it look like some kind of altar.

Zarathu Gawasha, this is what Zurd whispered to Xiao Yi last night, and he doesn't know which tribe this old troll is from, but he is sure to tell Xiao Yi that this old troll is very famous!

According to Zuld, Zarathu Gavasha was first known at a witch doctor meeting, and none of the trolls present knew whether it was his name or title.

Just as no one knew what tribe he came from, no one knew if he had any family, no one had ever seen him mention his family anyway, and he had been wandering alone in the forest.

And the reason why he is known is that he is always accompanied by poisonous snakes, and even trolls hate him and his companions very much. More often than not, this strange witch doctor is indifferent to everything, and he can stand by and watch anything but threaten his own safety.

Until he met a man, a young troll girl he had picked up, he named the child Turaya, another female troll from yesterday's cave, and Zaratul raised the girl and taught her voodoo spells.

The two can be regarded as adoptive father and daughter, but this does not mean that the relationship between the two is very good, they do not communicate much with each other, and even sometimes Turaya will run away, and Zurd only met Zaratu after rescuing Tulaya during another hunt.

"My lord, breakfast is ready." Just as Xiao Yi was looking at Zaratu in a trance, Goodk came to him and whispered.

Xiao Yi nodded, at this time, Zaratu had finished painting the face lines, and was burning incense and meditating, very voodoo style.

"Let Zulde bring some food to Zarathu." Xiao Yi said, walked to the campfire, took the soup and bread handed by the guards, and asked, "Is there any news from those Naga?" ”

Strangely, the Naga didn't seem to come to disturb the group all night as if they hadn't discovered the cave last night.

"The scouts have gone to check, and if Naga doesn't search anymore, we can continue on our way." Goodek also picked up his own food and said, "The troll behind the mat last night has returned, do you want to summon it?" ”

"If there's nothing special, don't use it." Xiao Yi shook his head and said, at this time, Zaratu had finished meditating and was cleaning up the altar, Xiao Yi stood up and strode towards him.
