Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cave
The scorching sun, hanging high in the sky, the sun shines through the window on Xiao Du's immature face, the blazing light wakes up Xiao Du who is sleeping, looking at the sun hanging high outside the window, patting his forehead to cheer up, sit up, and wake up Wang Bing, who is lying on the side and sleeping like a pig.
may be due to last night's battle, Xiao Du and Wang Bing slept until noon.
After the two of them got up, they simply freshened up, Xiao Du took out the corpses of the shadow cat and the spinback lizard and threw them on the ground, turned to look at Wang Bing, and said righteously: "To become an adventurer, dismembering the corpse of the elf is essential for every adventurer, so you can dismember these two elves." After speaking, he took out the knife he had been using and handed it to Wang Bing.
"Oh~ Okay, I will definitely succeed in completing the mission and become a powerful adventurer."
Wang Bing took the knife, stretched out his right hand and put it on his chest like a soldier receiving some important task, saluted the military salute of this world, and squatted down to dismember the corpse on the spot.
Xiao Du took out the bucket from his backpack, poured the water into the pot on the stove and made a fire to boil. After doing this, he took out the corpse of the big bear that he had killed in the forest, and said to Wang Bing, who was practicing dismemberment skills indiscriminately: "By the way, don't break my fur, claws, and teeth when you practice." ”
"I know, little Duge, don't worry." Wang Bing swore solemnly.
"Well, okay." Seeing that Wang Bing was so confident, Xiao Du couldn't hit him, so he had to continue to dismember Da Xiong's corpse.
Xiao Du thought while dismembering the bear paw: "The bear paw is a good thing, I haven't eaten it for a long time, but I don't know how the bear paw from the other world is." ”
After a while, the water was boiling in the pot, and after taking out some hot water and scalding the four bear paws, the hair was removed, cleaned and thrown into the boiling pot.
Cleaned the two kinds of elf meat dismembered by Wang Bing, Xiao Du calculated the time, threw the two kinds of meat into the pot together, and finally took out the otherworldly version of the seasoning bought from Fenshui Town from his backpack and poured it in, covered the pot, the delicacy is the precipitation of time, and Xiao Du, who was idle, ran to Wang Bing's side to teach him some dismemberment skills.
It didn't take long for the enticing aroma wafting in the pot, just smelling the elves and Wang Bing was vaguely a little uncontrollable, Xiao Du shook his head helplessly, scooped up the meat pieces and soup with a scoop and put them in a wooden bowl, and presented them to everyone.
Seeing the elves and Wang Bing gobbling up, Xiao Du finally presented a bowl to himself, drank a mouthful of soup, and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious~" and followed Wang Bing and the elves to eat fiercely.
After eating, he cleaned up the pot and scoop full of oil, reached out and put the electric rat on his shoulder, took out the Poke Ball to take back the other elves, and beckoned Wang Bing to go to the back mountain
Xiao Du and the two, in the back mountain around the half of the circle, did not find anything suspicious, originally thought that they would encounter a lot of skeleton elf attacks like yesterday, but the road was unusually calm, not to mention the elves in the mountains, even animals are rarely seen. Confused, the two continued on their way, eventually finding a cave hidden deep in a hidden bush.
It was also a coincidence that they found this cave, and the two of them who had been wandering around for most of the day wanted to sit next to the bushes to rest, but the cool and cold wind flowing from the cave behind the bushes blew on the two of them through the layers of intermingled bushes, Xiao Du felt that something was wrong, and he opened the bushes and found that there was a cave that extended downwards behind it.
Looking into the cave, the cave was narrow and dark, bottomless from the outside, and their instincts told the two that the villagers they were trying to rescue were in the cave. took out the little fire dragon's poke ball and threw it into the air, the red light flashed, and the little fire dragon appeared in front of Xiao Du, walking into the cave with the little fire dragon and the electric rat on his shoulder, and Wang Bing followed closely with the broken stone monkey to enter together.
In a cave northeast of the deserted village, a man covered in black robes, surrounded by several skeleton elves, holding a whip in his hand, was constantly whipping a man covered in mud and unable to see clearly on the ground.
The man's body was whipped with flesh and blood, and he kept screaming and begging for mercy, but the black-robed man ignored it and continued to whip the whip in his hand.
The black-robed man didn't stop until he made a sound of the man on the ground, pointed at the shrunken crowd around him with his whip, and scolded: "If there is anyone who dares to escape, the fate will be the same as him!" Got it?! ”
The men in the crowd were terrified and even claimed yes, while the women and children kept crying, very afraid of the black-robed man.
At this time, a man in a black robe walked in the darkness not far away, and said to the black-robed man holding the whip: "Pick a few people for the next experiment." ”
The black-robed man with the whip hurriedly pointed to a few people in the crowd and the person lying on the ground who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and several skeleton elves standing behind him walked towards the few people who were pointed by the black-robed man, and those who had just been ordered by him kept retreating, and scolded the beast ~ the devil and the like, and finally was forcibly pressed by several skeleton elves to come to the black-robed man.
The black-robed man whispered a few words to the black-robed man with the whip, and then took the skeleton elf to press the others to leave on the other side.
The few people who were pressed by the skeleton elves were already crying bitterly at this time, constantly begging for mercy and letting them go, but the black-robed man didn't pay attention to it, and continued to walk forward, thinking that he had done too much of this kind of thing, and he was used to it.
The black-robed man walked in front and said to himself: "It will be transferred in two days, I hope there will be some progress in these two days, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is discovered by the king's army." ”
"Wait."
Not long after Xiao Du and the two of them entered the cave, they finally saw a faint firelight at a corner, and waved their hands to signal Wang Bing behind them to stop, leaning their ears against the wall and listening.
"Woo~Woo~Woo~~"
A small cry passed into Xiao Du's ears through the stone wall, and when he entered the cave, Xiao Du had already heard a weak whining sound, originally thought that this was just a whistling sound of the wind blowing in the cave, and did not pay too much attention to it, and found that the sound was becoming more and more obvious after entering the cave.
Continuing cautiously along the firelight, the hole zigzagged and twisted, and after a few corners, a voice sounded from the front.
"How long do you think we're going to stay here?" The voice sounds hoarse.
"Hehe, I've done this a few times, you're newly sent, so I don't know yet, just a few days, we'll move to the next place, and it is estimated that in a few days, the king's army of this country will find out here." Another slightly muffled voice spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Du recalled in his memory that the King's Army refers to the military strength of a country, most of them are trainers, and only a small number of them are spirit masters who have appeared in the country and gathered in, and there is only one country in this southern region, called Oles Country, which is the only country in this remote south, and holds the strongest power in this region.
Countries are divided into four levels, 500,000 people can form a fourth-level state, up to 2 million people can be upgraded from a fourth-level country to a third-level kingdom, up to 5 million people can be promoted from a third-level kingdom to a second-level principality, and up to 10 million people can be promoted to a first-level empire.
The fourth-level country can master two towns, the third-level kingdom can control two fourth-level countries, the second-level principality can control two third-level kingdoms, and the first-level empire can absorb talents with a huge population base, and after the precipitation of time, it will only become stronger and stronger, and I heard that the strongest empire controls the survival of more than ten principalities.
"Aren't we people afraid of being discovered by the King's Army here?" The hoarse voice spoke again.
"None of them found out about us so early, and they were saying that we sent a big man from above, even if the general of this kingdom army came, it might not be useful."
"You're talking about Kao? Or "The hoarse voice asked, suddenly realizing that something was wrong, coughing dryly, and continuing: "My lord"
"That's right, it's Lord Kao, and his strength is not comparable to that of us little people." A hoarse voice sounded, but he didn't notice what the man had just done, and continued, "Let's go, Lord Kao is still waiting for us to pass." ”
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away, Wang Bingcai whispered to Xiao Du: "Brother Xiao Du, I guess they are organized, I'm afraid we can't deal with it, let's go back and report to the people of the king's army." ”
"No, it's too far away from the next town where the king's army is stationed, and even if you ride a running ox, it will take nearly two days to travel, and the daylilies will be cold when you go back and forth."
"Little Duge, what is daylily?"
"Well, it's a vegetable grown in my hometown."
"Well, then I'm fine."
Xiao Du thought about it for a while before he said to Wang Bing: "Let's take a look ahead." ”
