"I asked you what your name was, what did you shout...... Wait a minute! You mean...... Your name is Hogg? ”

Malone was first dissatisfied with the attitude of the jackal, and then he thought that he might have misunderstood the other party's meaning, because ......

Hogg, the name may be insignificant to Robin and others, but to Marlon...... It's a familiar name!

Hogg the Gnoll is an elite monster in the wild in the game "World of Warcraft", and almost every player has encountered the fate of being killed by this strong gnoll when they were at a very low level. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Huo ...... Case! ”

The gnoll had been fiddling with the dagger that Robin had given him, and with his mud-stained fingers, he was gently probing the sharp tip of the dagger - a weapon of such sharpness was rare for a gnoll in the age of obscurantism; If you can snatch a kitchen knife from a human, you are already qualified to become the most powerful warrior among the gnolls.

Hearing Marlon's question, the gnoll looked up and gave Marlon a thumbs up as he repeated his name—it seemed that the gnoll also used this gesture to show appreciation, and the gnoll man ...... is praising Malone for his name...... Pronounce.

However, this compliment is the same as being praised by Robin for speaking gnoll language before, and it can't make Malone feel the slightest excitement; He just stared at the young Gnoll Hogg in a daze, and he didn't even hear Robin shouting at him.

In Ma Long's impression, Hogg should have been haunted near the West Spring Fortress that he had defended before...... However, it was still two years before Stormwind was rebuilt, and maybe Hogg had only gone later.

Malone doesn't know if the name Hogg is very common among gnolls, like "Jim", "Little Red", "Little Ming" and the like; But judging from the unusually large size of this gnoll, it is very likely that he is the one that Malone knows about the adventurer who robs and kills players outside the Westspring Fortress all day long, and is known as the "Little Harvester".

Young Hogg ...... After his relatives were all attacked and killed by the orcs, how did this guy wander to the vicinity of the Westspring Fortress and become the leader of the gnolls camp there? There must be an interesting story in this!

-- Marlon thought.

……

Led by the young gnoll Hogg, it took Marlon and his soldiers half an hour to reach the vicinity of the mountains on the edge of the Western Wilderness.

Marlon glanced around, looking for the cave that Hogg had spoken of, but there was no trace of it; In front of him was a rolling hill, and behind him was an endless field - everywhere seemed to him bare, and not even a boar could be seen.

"Where's that cave? How can I not see it? ”

Marlon asked Hogg.

"No, it's what you see, it's what you smell!"

Hogg exclaimed.

"Smell? What to smell? ”

Marlon hurriedly asked.

"Pee!"

Hogg replied loudly.

"What?"

Marlon suspected that something was wrong with his ears, or that the skill called "Arcane Language" was out of time, as he seemed to hear Hogg say ......

"Pee!"

Hogg repeated again, and then began to wander around the neighborhood, crouching down beside the grass and the piles of rocks, sniffing and sniffing.

"What is he doing, Sir Lothar? Where is the cave? ”

Robin walked up to Malone and asked suspiciously.

"He's sniffing...... Urine. ”

Looking at Robin's blank face when he got his answer, Malone couldn't help but smile bitterly twice - they still overestimated Hogg's ability to recognize his way.

It looks similar to Malone everywhere, but it is also the same in Hogg's eyes; However, gnolls have a unique way-finding skill - just as wolves and dogs will sprinkle a soak of urine on the places they pass to help them orient themselves, gnolls will do the same.

Soon, Hogg smelled the commotion of his companion's urine near a few patches of grass, and he shouted for Malone and the others to follow, and then did not forget to take off his tattered pants and make up for the urine on the grass - it was by this method that these gnolls were able to ensure that the roads they needed to know would not be forgotten by future generations even after a few decades had passed - and for the gnolls, it was everyone's responsibility to pee as a signpost!

Led by Hogg all the way, Marlon and his soldiers crossed the road made by the smell of gnolls' urine to the mountain road that Hogg eventually spoke of.

The entrance to the mountain road is on a hilly slope, and several boulders form a rickety entrance.

"It's here!"

Hogg pointed to the dark hole and said to Malone.

"Paul, take a few people down and take torches."

Marlon instructed - I don't know if there are any strange things in such a cave, it is better to go down and reconnoiter first.

Paul and several of the militiamen wore ropes around their bodies, tied one end to their belts, and left the other end in the hands of their companions outside the cave, and then lit the torches brought from Nighttown, and courageously went into the cave.

Marlon and Robin waited anxiously outside the cave, holding the ropes tightly in their hands—and if something went wrong, they would immediately pull Paul and the other militiamen out.

"It's spacious, and it doesn't look dangerous!"

In a short time, Paul's hollow voice came out of the cave.

"What about the torches? How do the torches burn? ”

Marlon hurried to the entrance of the cave and asked loudly.

"It's burning so much!"

Inside the cave, Paul seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying aloud—apparently he didn't know why Malone would ask the question.

"Alright, let's all go in, move faster!"

Malone heard Paul's answer, nodded his head, and then gave an order to the other soldiers - such a cave, although it seemed not dangerous, would probably suffocate the people in it due to the lack of oxygen due to poor ventilation.

However, since the torches are burning vigorously, it means that the ventilation in this cave is good, and it is estimated that the air is not a problem, so Ma Long dared to let all his subordinates go in.

Hogg the Gnoll was holding the short sword Robin had given him, and he was stunned and wanted to follow Marlon's soldiers, but Marlon reached out and stopped him.

"You go, Hogg. We'll just go the rest of the road ourselves. ”

Marlon said to Hogg sincerely—even though the other party was only a gnoll, and although there were countless gnolls who died at the hands of Marlon and the Westspring garrison, Hogg did them a great favor—according to Robin's estimate, if this mountain road really led to Moonstream, then Marlon and his soldiers might be able to get there before the orcs.
