Chapter 602: The Iron Eater on the Withered Plains (2/3)
The Blighted Plains stretched as far as the eye could see, and from the news brought back by the scouts, Rollin knew that there were countless Iron Eater Giant tribes in this plain, and the three largest of them lived in the three parts of the plains, and because of the different sources of food and different lifestyles, they were not accustomed to each other, and they were enemies for generations.
The other small tribes depend on each of these three large tribes.
One of the Iron Giants who attacked the Outpost of Lorrain was one of the large tribes, the Steelvein Tribe, which had thousands of Iron Giants, and the way they obtained food was to gnaw iron ore directly, and the location of the tribe was a huge iron mine.
The other two tribes are more bitter, one is to extract iron dust from the soil of the plains for food, called the iron dust tribe. One extracts food from groundwater, which contains a lot of iron, called the Green Water tribe.
Naturally, these two tribes had far less access to food than the former, and their strength was also affected, not as strong as the Steelvein tribe.
However, this time, the Steel Vein tribe killed more than 300 warriors in the battle, and suffered heavy losses, and the situation in the withered plain may have some changes.
After a day and a night of driving, Rollin finally reached the edge of the Blighted Plains, and he truly realized the strength of the Iron Giant's body.
This body has very good physical strength, and it is not very tired when it is in such a hurry. Even if you are really tired, as long as you sit down and eat some food, you will recover quickly. As for the food, Luo Lin was naturally ready, it was the magic energy cold iron.
After tasting a bite of cold iron with the body of an iron-eating giant, Luo Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Those giants will desperately attack the sentry, and the cold iron ore under the sentry is estimated to account for a large reason. β
In the mouth of the giants, these magical cold irons are too delicious. It's like the feeling of a low-level people who can only eat coarse grains for the first time when they eat big fish and meat. I almost want to swallow my tongue together.
Because it is sitting on a huge magical iron ore. Luo Lin had a big meal before he set off, eating more than five tons of demonic cold iron, so that the color of his body was not the same as that of ordinary iron-eating giants.
The Iron Eater Giant's body was dark red on the surface, and their leader was black, but Rollin's body was dark green, and he was taller than the average giant, reaching more than four meters, about the same size as the leader.
Of course, Rollin didn't do this simply to satisfy the appetite of the Iron Eater. He did this with his own considerations, as he had certain expectations for the position of the leader of the Steelvein Iron Eater, and if the situation allowed, he hoped to become the new leader of the Steelvein Clan.
The ground of the blighted plain is crimson, there are almost no plants on the ground, occasionally some insects can be seen on the ground, Luo Lin caught several different insects to look closely, but found that these are not ordinary insects, they have dark red bodies as strong as iron, I am afraid they also feed on iron.
'Flesh and blood are made of carbon. It is a carbon-based organism. The biosphere of this plain is all iron-based, and nature's imagination is so limitless that there are such iron-based creatures. Rollin wondered.
Every now and then there will be some strong winds on the plains. The wind was filled with the smell of rust, and Rollin sniffled from time to time, and from the wind, he could easily distinguish all kinds of iron breaths. Referring to these auras, and comparing the map probed by the scouts, Rollin walked all the way to the valley where the Steel Vein tribe was located.
Along the way, Rollin encountered several waves of scouts from the sentry, and he greeted them in advance, but these scouts did not see him and let him go all the way.
After about two of them, Rollin saw the first Iron Eater Giant Clan, which was certainly not the Steel Vein Clan, but its vassal.
The clan was very small, with only a dozen people, and they dug holes to live, and when Rollin arrived, two small iron-eating giants of the tribe with a height of one meter and five were running and jumping around at the entrance of the cave.
It should be two children, they don't know how to be scared, and when they see Rollin, they chirp and shout, speaking the language unique to the Iron Giant, and the ordinary frequency sound is mixed with some high-frequency ultrasound.
Rollin controlled the iron-eating giant's body, and also obtained the memory of the giant's head, so he could naturally understand the language.
The two children, a boy and a girl, were shouting to the boy, and he ran up and asked, "Uncle, where are you from?" Why do you grow so tall? Why is your skin green? β
A series of questions burst out of his small mouth like a cannon, and Luo Lin, who asked the question, was stunned for a moment.
Although he has the memories of the Iron Eating Giant, but because this giant has died in battle, many of its memories have been lost, Luo Lin can only barely extract the language and some basic living habits and memories, but he does not know much about the specific customs and habits of the Iron Eating Giant, after seeing this tribe, Luo Lin is ready to stay here for a few days to learn more about this strange race.
He didn't answer the little boy's question, but took out a thumb-sized piece of magic cold iron and threw it over: "This is a gift for you." Go back and tell your elders that you're here. β
The little boy received the cold iron, his eyes were red, and he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, it could be seen that he was extremely greedy, but he still didn't dare to swallow it privately, but took the cold iron and ran into the cave behind him with the little girl.
After a while, there was a 'boom' of footsteps from inside the entrance of the cave, and three iron-eating giants more than three meters tall walked out quickly.
In the eyes of the Terrans, the iron-eating giants all look the same, with dark red skin and a strong body. But in the eyes of the iron-eating giant, it is easy to distinguish the slight differences between different individuals.
The iron-eating giants who came were relatively thin, the dark red light in their eyes was very dim, and there were many small breaches on their bodies, which could not be compared with Luo Lin's body that was more than four meters tall and had a sturdy and flawless body.
The three giants, a man and two women, looked like they should have reached the age of the middle of their lives, and when they saw Luo Lin standing outside the cave, they were all taken aback, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to Luo Lin, and then lay directly on the ground, banging their heads on the ground, looking very scared.
Luo Lin frowned, puzzled why they were like this, so he accentuated his tone and ordered: "Stand up!" β
The three giants immediately stood up. But his back was slumped. Don't dare to straighten. His head was also lowered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Luo Lin with his eyes, which looked exactly like a mortal commoner looking at a nobleman.
Luo Lin realized something, so he followed the customs of the villagers, and said with a command: "I am the leader's warrior Shentu, and I am really tired to rush back all the way." There was also not much food and needed to be given a place to rest. β
The male iron-eating giant immediately said, "My lord, you come with me, we have food here, as long as you don't dislike it." β
He turned to lead the way, and Rollin followed, and when he entered the cave, he could see that there were seven or eight iron-eating giants in the gloomy cavern, some of them were resting in stone, some were chatting. Rollin also saw a strange giantess with a large sarcoma growing on her body. It's like carrying a big package.
However, he soon realized that this should be a pregnant giant, and this sarcoma should be a baby giant in gestation.
When they reached the innermost part of the cave, the giant who led the way stopped and shouted a few times, to the effect that he would let his people bring the best food.
After a while, a giantess came over with a large rock in her hand, the rock was dark red, and the instinct in Rollin's body from the iron-eating giant made it easy for him to see that the rock contained a large amount of iron.
The giantess respectfully held the rock to Rollin, her body still shaking, obviously afraid.
This appearance made Luo Lin's heart move: "It seems that the upper in the giant clan has absolute authority over the lower one, and it should be to the point of life and death. β
He took the rock, took a small bite, his brow immediately furrowed, and spit the rock dregs in his mouth to the ground with a 'poof'.
If his magic energy cold iron is a delicacy, then this rock is a dregs of bran and wild vegetables, and it is simply impossible to eat!
His action immediately caused the giant in the cave to tremble, his body tightened, and he wanted to hide himself.
Luo Lin glanced around, and also saw some giants' food, which was also such a rock, but it could be seen that the iron content in it was very low, and it could not be compared with the piece in his hand. In comparison, the piece in his hand is really the best food for the other party.
It's no wonder that the Iron Eater is so desperate for food, eating this dregs every day, and suddenly discovering that there is a peerless delicacy, no wonder if he is not crazy. Rollin thought to himself, he didn't pick his mouth again, endured the withering of the stone slag, and ate this piece of iron ore.
After eating, Luo Lin took out another thumb-sized piece of magic energy cold iron and threw it to the ground at will: "I'm going to live here for a while, this is the reward." β
Unexpectedly, this action made the previous male giant lie on the ground again, he respectfully picked up the magic energy cold iron, and handed it back to Luo Lin together with the piece of cold iron that Luo Lin gave before: "My lord, you can stay as long as you want, you don't need any compensation." β
His demeanor was extremely resolute, but his eyes were staring directly at the cold iron in his hand, obviously coveting it to the extreme. It's not that he doesn't want it, it's that he doesn't dare to ask for it.
In fact, the iron-eating giants in the entire cave were looking at the magic energy cold iron, and everyone was involuntarily twitching their noses, inhaling the vague aroma of food in the air, especially the two children before, the corners of their mouths began to drool, and while drooling, they stared directly at the cold iron with their eyes, and at the same time sucked their fingers 'let's chirp'.
But in the eyes of these two children, Rollin did not see any chaotic evil thoughts, he saw only a longing, a longing for beautiful things that all living beings have. How similar is this to the movements and eyes of the slum kids that Rollin first saw in the world of VendΓ΄me, Troll?
This craving is not a fallen sin!
Seeing this, Luo Lin's heart moved: "The race of iron-eating giants is not hopeless, they are just polluted by the aura of darkness, disperse them, maybe this will become a powerful combat force of my natural god system!" β
The goal in Luo Lin's heart became clearer and clearer, and he did it when he thought of it, Luo Lin let out a rolling roar in his throat, and roared in a low voice: "I Sentu will never take back what was given out, you don't want it, are you insulting me?" β
The giants looked at each other, as if they couldn't understand the tall giant's thoughts, but they didn't dare to go against this person's thoughts, looking at this tall and tough body, as well as the fire burning in the other party's eyes, and the noisy and wonderful natural patterns on the skin, all this meant that the other party had great power, and all they could do was obey.
"Yes, my lord, thank you very much." The giant man accepted the cold iron fast, he was very excited, and his body was trembling slightly.
Rollin pointed to the pregnant giantess, "Give her a piece." β
The giantess happily complied, it was his woman, he naturally would not be stingy, the giantess was very happy, and licked the cold iron with her tongue little by little, and the giants around her were envious.
"These two little guys, one and a half pieces." Rollin commanded again.
So the two little ones shared a piece of it, licked the cold iron, and screamed and jumped very excitedly.
"Now, don't disturb my rest."
Rollin walked to a corner, curled up, and became a large dark green stone, and some information came out of his mind, along some mysterious void passage, into the mind of his subject.
This information was all what he had seen and heard in the Withered Plains, and after receiving the information, the subject smiled: "Do you want to cooperate with you in the charge of the Giant Clan?" It's a great idea! (To be continued......)
