In the whistling sound of the blizzard, dark figures chased after them in search of the smell of flesh.

It is only half the height of a normal human, and has only a small amount of body hair on the surface of the body for decoration. Beneath the thin body hair is a "thick" skin that exudes a strong body odor.

How do you describe that kind of skin? It's like a thick fur that is not well maintained, covered with gum slightly larger than a cookie crumb.

This gum exudes a strong body odor, which is both a warning and a deterrent.

Underneath the colloids is a thick, dark gray layer of skin, which is pitted and undulating like the surface of the moon.

The limbs are thin and thin, and he walks upright, with a bulging head. The facial features are like those of an impatient sprinter, slightly protruding. The silhouette is sharp and thin, and there is no sense of threat overall.

When he got closer, Rick realized that there was something bulging behind the other party's back, and there was also something stuck on the sticky gel on his body.

On the slightly rickety back, patches of steel thorns arched together. The steel spikes of the forearm were shining with light blue arcs. The cool pale blue arc light is particularly eye-catching in the snow-white environment, just like the deep-sea fish showing its toxicity.

The gelatinous stuff was littered with something that made Rick frown, and it was so impressive that he had even seen it up close.

In the weird manor, those giant hyenas with extremely high body temperature are covered with a dark blue cold steel that can cool down. At this time, the surface of the body of these dwarf creatures was also scattered with this cold steel fragment.

Among them, the large ones have more cold steel fragments on the body surface, and the thin and short ones have almost none.

If it weren't for the fact that these little things didn't see anyone, they pounced. Without saliva and red eyes, Rick was about to fight for his life.

The old Orion looked at the hedgehog orcs covered in shards of cold steel. A little uneasiness flashed in my heart. He clearly remembered that these hedgehog orcs were cowardly and timid. The number is not so much, and the height seems to have been collectively supplemented with calcium.

Seeing that the old Orion looked different, Rick lowered his voice and asked, "Have you ever seen these things?" ”

The old Orion nodded and said his guess: "In the past, these hedgehog orcs were extremely timid, and they didn't dare to come out in a big way."

Old Orion was right, these hedgehog orcs used to be timid and fearful, and could only feed on scarce berries and snow rats. Something is windy, running faster than a rabbit.

"Were the hedgehog spines on their backs poisonous before?"

The old hunter groaned slightly, and shook his head slowly but firmly: "No." It used to be pale gray, but now it's somehow light blue. ”

Rick's heart sank when he heard this, and he wanted to ask a few more questions, but the hedgehog orcs on the other side had already come closer.

"Yay~!"

The scattered and chaotic formation, like a middle-aged aunt visiting the vegetable market, you hug me and squeeze.

Squinting his pupils and trying to let go of his vision, Rick glanced at the number of these hedgehog orcs, and his heart sank: "Why are there so many?" "Take a look. There were at least fifty or sixty hedgehog orcs, clamoring to rush this way.

Tattered and ill-fitting clothes, shoddy and chaotic weapons, plus that chirping. It seems that in the mouth that can never stop, there is a high-pitched noise and noise.

Most of the hedgehog orcs are similar to before, and their personalities are still a little cowardly. Always bullied by his companions who have become tall and covered in cold steel.

About a third of the hedgehog orcs have cold steel stuck in their bodies. They become taller and more powerful

The old hunter took a few breaths of white air. Try to calm the tension as much as possible: "Keep your body down and look at them as much as possible"

Hearing this, Rick lowered his center of gravity and almost crouched in the snow.

Just as he was about to remind the first few people of the marijuana, there was a sudden "crunch" sound of snow stepping next to him. Looking back, Rick cursed "waste".

The three of them were like ground mice, pouting their butts and running away without looking back. It didn't matter if they ran, the hedgehog orcs who were eager to try followed suit.

A dozen clansmen were left to guard Rick and the two, while the rest of the hedgehog orcs brandished their weapons and shouted after them.

The remaining hedgehog orcs have basically not mutated, except for the three hedgehog orc leaders who are covered in cold steel shards, walking around like a team, kicking someone else's ass from time to time, or simply pressing a clansman to the ground and beating him.

It seems that only in this way can these hedgehog orcs who have just gained power show their strength.

"Kill those three hedgehog orcs, and we have hope of survival." The old Orion's lips opened and closed slightly, his eyes were level with the hedgehog orc, and he said in a low voice.

Rick tightened his crossbow tightly, and the arrow was aimed at one of the tallest hedgehog orcs.

"Do it!!"

"Whoosh!"

At close range, even if there was a blizzard interference, he still shot hard into the head of the hedgehog orc, killing him with one blow.

Killing a hedgehog orc, Rick kicked the ground with the soles of his feet, and his figure shot out. With his fingers against the back of his sword, he lowered his body and pounced on the other hedgehog orc.

The blizzard not only affects Rick and the others, but also interferes with the sight and hearing of the hedgehog orcs.

It wasn't until Rick pounced on the hedgehog orc that they spotted him.

"Yikes!!"

With a roar, the hedgehog orc flipped over, his back facing Rick.

After being reminded by the old Orion, Rick immediately dodged sideways, and a large piece of steel thorns glowing with blue light "swished" out, which happened to be pierced on an ordinary hedgehog orc.

With the hedgehog orc's screams, Rick's dagger stabbed the mutant hedgehog orc from the side.

The dagger first encountered a barrier of unparalleled toughness, which was pierced only after Rick pressed his entire body on. This is followed by penetrating the subcutaneous tissue and agitating the internal organs, all in one go.

Releasing the grip of the dagger, Rick leaned back to avoid the hedgehog orc's deathly counterattack. The hedgehog orc shook a few times and was blown to the ground by the blizzard.

Looking at the old Orion again, he also took out the opponent with difficulty.

The killing of the three mutant hedgehog orcs was like throwing a stone on the calm water, causing ripples.

"Yaoo

The remaining hedgehogs ran away like frightened quails.

The two rested slightly, and Rick said goodbye to the old Orion. The road ahead was dangerous, and without the help of the Ice Gang, the old Orion was reluctant to continue, and finally took a deep look at Rick and turned to leave.

The blizzard soon covered up the footprints left by the old hunter, and there was not a trace to be seen.

With the old Orion to guide him, Rick struggled through the blizzard for most of the day, and when his body was about to run out, he finally climbed to the vicinity of the bottomless pit.

Before he got closer, there was a shocking roar from the direction of the bottomless pit! The roar was so deep and low that even a blizzard could not stop it from spreading. The ferocious aura of the roar, the shaking of snowflakes, shook the scenery in Rick's vision. (To be continued......)
