Chapter 30: The Soul
After a long time, the silence of the rainforest was finally broken, and a four-legged spider-like man-eater appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
It walked and stopped, sniffing into the air from time to time, and finally came to the corpse of the war beast, circled around, and raised its head to the sky with a high-pitched, piercing chirp.
A moment later, dense footsteps rang out, and a man-eating warrior appeared.
The number of ogre warriors who appeared this time was not large, but they were all dressed in heavy steel armor, and the weapons in their hands were also neatly axed. Their eyes were still bloodthirsty, but they were a little more terrifyingly calm than ordinary cannibals.
As soon as they entered the battlefield, they were on the alert, and there was no confusion or roaring. These ogre warriors, clad in black and red armor, are surprisingly well disciplined.
A warrior resembling a ferocious ogre stepped out of the forest, and all the ogre warriors immediately bowed down to him.
Although he was as tall as a ferocious ogre, he was well-proportioned, and was clearly both powerful and agile. Behind his helmet, long scarlet tail feathers were inserted, like a flag.
In front of him, even the fierce and greedy ogres did not dare to be presumptuous, and only let out a low roar of submission from their throats.
If the Great Elder were here, he would be so shocked that he would lose his bearings. This is the great chief of the man-eaters, a true giant who can rule over the vast rainforest and whose territory contains more than a dozen small tribes.
For a long time, the settlement of the Lost People was located at the junction of the two Great Chieftains' realms, taking advantage of the ambiguity and avoidance of the boundaries of the different tribes of the cannibals to survive.
As for the two Great Chiefs, they are legendary-level existences, and even the Great Elders have never seen them.
The Great Chief approached the corpse of the war beast, his eyes burning with rage, and he jerked his head back and glared at his men fiercely.
All the ogres were trembling, but they didn't wait for the Great Chief to vent their anger.
The Great Chief snorted a rough breath from his nose, his eyes were red with blood, and his hand was gripping the handle of the axe, almost bending it raw. However, he actually restrained himself and did not have a seizure.
Suddenly a voice sounded in the forest: "I didn't get angry, yes, there was progress." ”
The sound was crisp and cold, revealing a biting chill, like ice cubes rubbing against each other.
Hearing this, the Great Chief's face changed drastically, as if he had heard the roar of a natural enemy. The other cannibals were even more unbearable, and some ordinary warriors simply fell to the ground, shivering, and could not stand up at all.
Out of the rainforest came a woman, who didn't look very tall, just about the height of a normal male Lost People. Standing among the cannibals, it looks extraordinarily small and exquisite.
However, in front of her, even the great chief of the cannibal ghost changed his arrogance and murderous aura, and even his body was slightly bent into a bow shape to accommodate her sight.
When the woman came to her, the chief said, "It's not that I'm restrained, it's ...... The subordinates who made the mistake are all dead. ”
"All dead?" The woman was a little surprised, she was wrapped in a cloak and could not see her face. But just by listening to the voice, you can know her surprise.
The Great Chief's voice was already trembling a little: "The warriors who are walking with the war behemoths, there is no signal coming back, and I can't sense anything. Should...... They are all dead. ”
"Death is death, what about the war beasts?"
"There."
She looked in the direction of the Great Chief's finger, and suddenly her voice rose a little: "The war beast is also dead?" ”
"Yes, when I came, all I saw was a corpse."
She snorted, her figure flickering, and in an instant she circled the corpse of the war beast, then stood on its back, looked down at the horrific wound in the back of her head, and was silent.
The Great Chief stubbornly walked over to the corpse of the war beast and waited for orders. Although there are many ogres around, only he can withstand her anger.
"A bunch of rubbish!"
A long whip suddenly flew out of the woman's cuff and whipped it on the big chief like a poisonous dragon, only to hear a snap, the steel armor on the big chief's body was actually torn raw, revealing the bloody wound below.
The whip was actually made of countless metal knots nested within each other, in the shape of a triangular prism, each edged with sharp barbs, and swung like a chainsaw with serrations on three sides.
Even if the heavy armor on the Great Chieftain is of good quality, it can't withstand a single volley from the chain whip.
Her anger rose, and her whip flew continuously, bringing up large pieces of flesh, and she scolded angrily as she whipped it: "Have your brains grown to pigs? It's embarrassing to say that you are wise to make it like this? Sure enough, they are all goods transformed from cheap seeds, so they shouldn't have any hope for you! ”
After a few moments, she finally stopped. It's not because I'm tired, but if I smoke it any longer, the big chief will die.
"Stand up for me, don't play dead!" The woman said calmly.
At this moment, the big chief's whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, and all the heavy armor was shattered, and he could hardly find a piece of good meat.
However, as soon as she stopped, the blood flow from the Great Chief's wound began to slow down, and the flesh of the wound squirmed, and some small wounds began to close. His life force is terrifying.
Hearing her order, the Great Chief struggled to his feet.
The woman jumped on the corpse of the war beast again, examined the wound carefully, and reached out to probe, when suddenly her body shook slightly, as if she had found something.
She came to the Great Chief again and said, "I said a long time ago that this thing is useless, hmph, and now I have said it." I beat you, not because you killed this useless big guy, but because you lost my troops. ”
"Understood."
"So, who am I?"
"You're a Soul Lady."
"It's good, you didn't confuse me with that slut, it seems that I'm still a little bit better." She smiled, then her voice turned cold, and said, "Find their camp and kill them all." You're going to go in person, there's probably a very powerful guy in there, do you understand? ”
"Understood."
"Okay, I'll go first, wait for your news."
The figure of the soul lord disappeared into the depths of the forest in an instant, as mysterious as when it came. The Great Chief stared in the direction she was leaving for a long time before turning around and roaring.
The ogres, who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, moved, and began to scatter and search around, and at the same time, one roar after another, like a relay, continued to spread into the distance, summoning more companions.
There is also a simple language among ogres, mostly with undulating roaring syllables, which can not express much.
The conversation between the Great Chief and the Soul Lord is in another language, very similar to that of the Lost People, with some differences in intonation, pronunciation, individual words, and other details.
If Huang Quan was present, he would have heard that it was an expression reserved for the upper nobles of the empire.
……
The remnants of the settlers walked through the rainforest for another five days before finally arriving at their intended camp.
It was a valley in the middle of a rainforest, too low-lying and humid to be a suitable campsite. However, the surrounding hills form a natural barrier that obscures the area and is not easily spotted.
A shipwreck in the valley is the perfect place to camp.
The Great Elder asked the people of the settlement to camp and rest outside the valley first, and then called the Flying Arrow, Yao, and Huangquan to enter the valley.
He was going to set up a new settlement camp here. The entire process of replanting the Life Stone has always been the top secret of the settlement, and it will only be passed down from generation to generation of Great Elders.
As a great samurai, Haruka is still very young and hopefully enters the sanctuary. And the Flying Arrow was designated as the successor by the Great Elder in the Clan Crisis, and even if the crisis has passed for the time being, the Great Elder has no idea of retracting his decision, and the other elders have no objections.
They just left, and the Great Elder also called Huang Quan, which surprised everyone, but no one objected.
Huang Quan knew that this was a gesture of favor from the Great Elder, but it was so thorough that it was a little surprising. He was very interested in the way the Lost People used the Life Stone, and he would not refuse.
As soon as he entered the valley, Huang Quan saw the wreckage of the spaceship.
Only a small half of the hull remained, and the first half of the body was missing. Due to the age of time, the wreckage of the ship has grown lush vegetation, and even the alloy parts that have not been excessively corroded are covered with moss.
Huang Quan quickly found the entrance, pushed the hatch, and found that it had already rusted to death, so he simply exerted his strength and tore the hatch off.
The large structure inside the wreckage is quite well preserved, the rear belongs to the cargo hold and the crew cabin, divided into three floors, except for the damp and dark, there are not too many problems, and the structure is also solid, this is the natural camp central house.
There were boxes of goods stacked in the cargo hold, and Huang Quan pried open a box, and the metal shell fell down in pieces when he touched it.
There were some mechanical parts stored in it, but after a long time, they had long since corroded away and turned into useless rust. The quality of these parts is not as good as the cabin hull part, and they are obviously civilian products.
There is a small compartment at the door of the cargo hold, and judging by the layout, it seems to be the residence of the storekeeper. Huang Quan accidentally found a chip in the desk drawer, and after wiping off the moss on it, he could see that it was basically intact.
This chip is a common storage medium in the Age of Empires, which can store massive amounts of information and be used with personal intelligence centers.
The texture of the wafer is an artificial polymer material, and it is indeed possible to survive the erosion of a long time. Huang Quan's heart moved, and he put the chip away.
This little action was not noticed by anyone.
