Chapter 173: In-depth investigation
Han Kexin persuaded: "It's really too dangerous to go deep into the plains alone. If there is the assistance of Xiaowen's soul chain, it will be much easier to deal with when encountering trouble. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there are one or two more people, in my opinion, I can bring Bai Yao with me by the way, and help her improve her strength by the way. Zhao Changping and Yun Yun can help one or two people advance at most, and the first choice should be combatants. ”
Xiao Yu felt that one or two more people were nothing, so he said: "Okay, I'll leave Xiaowen and Bai Yao together." The matter is settled, and everyone can act separately. ”
After the division of labor was completed, Zhao Changping and Yun Yun left immediately.
Han Kexin stood up and turned his head to walk a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "You have to pay attention to safety." ”
Xiao Yu looked at her and said, "You too." ”
Han Kexin felt a warm current in her heart, smiled slightly, and then left.
Xiao Yu took Jiang Xiaowen and Bai Yao around to the back garden, and walked out from the north gate of the city, the scenery outside was still as beautiful as ever, and the windmill in the plantation not far away was still turning in the wind. Xiao Yu held the necklace on his chest, and when a flash of light flashed, the Frost Skull War Horse was summoned, raising its hooves and neighing majestically. The slime clone that currently controls the Frost Skull War Horse, the slime itself is hidden in the skeleton horse's armor and can join the battle at any time.
Xiao Yu said to the two behind him: "This trip may take a day or two, have you brought all the things?" ”
Jiang Xiaowen pulled Bai Yao, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I have brought everything I have eaten and drunk, and there is nothing else important." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
After speaking, he turned over and jumped on the high back of the war horse. Jiang Xiaowen spread her wings and flew up lightly and sat on the back of the horse, and then stretched out her hand to pull Bai Yao up, the skeleton war horse was big enough, and it was more than enough for the three of them to sit down at the same time.
Xiao Yu waited for the two to sit up and reminded: "The horse will run very fast, because the ground is not flat with ups and downs, so it will be bumpy." War horses don't have stirrups, so you have to sit still. ”
Jiang Xiaowen hugged Xiao Yu confidently and said, "It's okay, I will hold you firmly, as long as you don't fall, I won't fall either." Come, Yaoyao, you hold me. ”
Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly, and used his spiritual power to send an order to the slime clone, and the green fire in the empty eyes of the war horse lit up. Suddenly he hissed, raised his black and cold hooves, and rushed down the slope at an alarming speed
Galloping away, the surrounding scenery is rapidly retreating, the vast world, the vast sea, the skeleton war horse is like a small boat riding the wind and waves, riding the wind and waves and moving quickly.
Probably because she can have an adventure with Xiao Yu, Jiang Xiaowen is very excited, she is originally a very curious person, and she is full of strong interest in this land and the grasslands in the north. Along the way, he exchanged words with Bai Yao, whispering endlessly, but Xiao Yu had no way to interject. Xiao Yu grabbed the reins of the war horse in one hand and the war knife in the other, and almost all the monsters that jumped out to attack without long eyes on the way were slashed by him under the horse. The war horse had only been running for ten minutes, had already crossed dozens of kilometers, and finally stopped in front of the cliff at the junction of the north and the plain.
Although you can see this broken valley cliff from a distance above the castle, but it is indeed a completely different feeling to see it up close, the cliff is mainly rocky near the cliff, the grass and trees grow very sparsely, the whole cliff is slope-like, the southern earth and the northern earth are torn apart by a cliff and divided into two, the whole cliff is more than 1,000 meters high, the cliff wall is full of potholes and strange rocks, the two cliffs are more than 100 meters apart, and the narrow place is also dozens of meters, there is a layer of misty mist looking down, and the cliff is low at all. But there must have been a raging stream of water flowing into the western sea, for the low sound of the rapids could be clearly heard.
Xiao Yu stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the plain ahead, the sun was shining on this vast and primitive land, there was a black line in the depths of the vast yellow-green sea, and wisps of black smoke were slowly rising from the camp.
Jiang Xiaowen flew down from the warhorse, flapped her wings gently, and flew to the edge of the cliff, her small figure looked insignificant on the huge broken valley, she made her hands into a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly below: "Hey! ”
I could clearly hear a few echoes coming back.
Bai Yao had never seen such a magnificent rift valley, it appeared on the earth so abruptly, it seemed to be torn apart by some supernatural external force, stretching for thousands of kilometers, what a great power this is, it is really daunting.
Xiao Yu also looked at the broken valley in a daze, and thought to himself: "This broken valley is so wide, high in the south, low in the northern plain, and the drop is dozens of meters. If you go from the south to the grassland, you may be able to directly cross the width of several tens of meters with the help of the terrain, but from the north to the south, it is impossible to jump directly. It is impossible for an orc with only first-order strength to jump so far, nor to jump so high, there must be somewhere that can directly lead to each other. ”
Jiang Xiaowen pointed to the opposite side and exclaimed loudly: "Look, there are orcs!" ”
Where the plain was close to the cliff, there happened to be a small group of orc warriors leading leopards to wander, and they also found Jiang Xiaowen and the others opposite. The orcs exchanged words with each other, and immediately led the leopard to the shore, raised their axes and let out a loud roar at the people opposite.
Bai Yao felt strange and asked, "What are they doing?" ”
Xiao Yu replied, "The orcs are a competitive and aggressive people, and they are demonstrating against us. ”
Before he finished speaking, the orc on the opposite side suddenly flew over with an axe, fortunately the distance was relatively far, Jiang Xiaowen reacted very quickly, and picked up the flying axe with a gun, otherwise it would really hit the target.
Jiang Xiaowen couldn't help but shout at the orc: "Hey, idiot! Big stupid, big greenskin, I'm right here! If you have the ability, come and cut me! ”
The orcs were stunned for a moment, they obviously did not understand human language, and they exchanged a few words with each other, and then let out a few yells at the humans opposite. Xiao Yu had an idea, and suddenly said to Jiang Xiaowen: "Kill one." ”
Jiang Xiaowen heard Xiao Yu's order, and without saying a word, he summoned the eye demon, and shot through a scorching beam of light from afar, and the orc was directly pierced into a raging fire, and he fell from the cliff screaming, "Bang!" With a bang, a large protruding stone was smashed, and countless gravel and firelight fell to the bottomless valley with a scream.
"Roar! Whoa, whoa! ”
The other orcs were startled and hurriedly retreated, and when they saw their companions killed and fallen off the cliff, they were immediately shocked and furious, and raised their axes and flew towards the humans opposite, but none of them could focus on their targets. They didn't think about it, and immediately ran along the edge of the cliff in one direction.
Xiao Yuyi waved his hand and said, "East, walk along the east side of the Broken Valley and follow these orcs." ”
The orcs run extremely fast, and there are some small rivers, boulders and other obstacles on the way, which can be easily climbed over effortlessly. I don't know how long I ran, Xiao Yu saw a connection between the two cliffs in front of him, it was a naturally formed stone bridge, very thick and wide, about twenty meters wide, and the thickness of the stone bridge was hundreds of meters, just connecting the two places.
"Roar!"
When these orc warriors arrived at the stone bridge, they rushed to the opposite side without hesitation, attacking without knowing whether they were alive or dead. Xiao Yu took out the war knife from the Na ring, held the killing blade in his right hand, and held the flame war knife in his left hand to face him, completely slashing one by one, killing seven or eight orcs and three leopards in one face, and completely annihilating this small group of orcs.
Jiang Xiaowen stepped on the corpse of an orc, and said disdainfully: "Cut, it's really useless, I don't see if I can beat or not, I ran to death in such a hurry, my brain is really white." She kicked away an orc corpse, and found a falling ball of light on the ground, which was picked up and untied to reveal a bottle of potion, "Hey, what is this?" ”
Xiao Yu walked over and said, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”
Jiang Xiaowen handed over the potion and said, "It seems to be an 'orc language learning potion', how can there be such a thing?." ”
"Orc Language Elixir", after use, learn the low-level orc language, and the effect is permanent.
Xiao Yu was very surprised, "This thing is not precious, and naturally it is not valuable, but it is very useful, especially for us." Xiaowen, you have made another meritorious service. ”
Jiang Xiaowen smiled proudly and asked with interest, "It turns out that the language of this world can still be learned by drinking potions?" That's really godly, I still remember that I didn't know how many all-nighters I stayed up all night for English level 4 or 6. Is there a learning potion for the Terran language in this world? If anything, I'll have to get two bottles to drink. ”
Xiao Yu sighed: "You may be disappointed, because our language has been unified, so even if an Englishman, Frenchman, or Japanese speaks the language of other countries in front of you now, it sounds no different from Chinese to us." The languages we speak today are collectively known as the continental lingua franca. ”
Bai Yao asked puzzledly, "Really?" If there is a common language on the continent, why is there a racial language like orc? ”
Xiao Yu replied: "The lingua franca of the mainland is the unified language used when communicating with other races, only some higher races know it, and as for the internal races, they still use their own language. Without further ado, since we're here, let's go and have a look on the other side. ”
Xiao Yu led the skeleton war horse and led the two of them across the stone bridge to the plain area.
The weeds here are more dense. As far as the eye can see, a large expanse of pale green contrasts sharply with the blue sky, and there are undulating waves in the majestic wind. A few trees dotted among them, and in the tall weeds, one or two monsters jumped from time to time.
Jiang Xiaowen took the spear and shuttled through the wild grass with difficulty, these grasses grew too tall, covering most of the body, and many dwarf vines had stingers, fortunately, the three of them were wearing armor and were not easy to be injured by the stingers, so they were relieved to shuttle forward.
