Half an hour later.

After settling those cave people, Zhao Futu walked towards the south of the underground world again, he was not very familiar with this area, and there were about 50% of the unexplored places nearby. Until now, he had only reconnoitred the location of the half of the area in front of him, figured out the gathering points of several nearby biological nests, and found a few resource mines, the only trouble was that it was not easy to take down.

Other resources can be put aside for the time being, and the most important thing for Zhao Futu at present is to find a batch of wood.

There is not much wood in the underworld, and compared to the ore that is easy to obtain, wood must be obtained in some special places, and the underworld is at most a few low bushes, although obviously much thicker, but it is not easy to collect usable wood. Fortunately, however, there was no development in the area, and Zhao Futu soon found a logging site that once existed.

Let's be honest.

The lumberyard had been largely abandoned, and Zhao Futu could only vaguely see an outline, which had been suspended for at least a hundred years, and some of the tools used to collect wood had basically completely rotted. What is entrenched here now is a relatively rare creature, at least Zhao Futu has seen them for the first time, they are the third-order creatures in the stronghold forces, half-orcs!

Orcs are third-order creatures in the stronghold, covered in hair and strong, they are adept at fighting with battle axes, and are equipped with short axes that can be thrown behind them, making them a class that can be used in both distance and close combat. In terms of overall strength, it is in the middle and upper ranks among the third-order creatures, and it is better than having rough skin and thick flesh, high defense, and long-range fire support when necessary.

This group of orcs looks like they've been living here for a long time!

When Zhao Futu found them, the group of orcs were cooking on a fire, and their food was a minotaur, a Medusa, and seven or eight cave men, and it was not known if they were found from Zhao Futu's uncleaned battlefield, or if they were other creatures hunted nearby. If it's the latter. This means that there are most likely other monster lairs nearby.

The level of civilization of the half-orcs was okay, and Zhao Futu saw more than a dozen dilapidated tents.

After observing from a distance, Zhao Futu determined the number of enemies in front of him, and the overall number was about a hundred, among which there were some half-orc warriors, half-orc sword axemen, half-orc shamans and other transfer creatures, but the number was not too much, adding up to about a dozen. At the head of the group is a half-orc leader, who looks full of power and is much taller than the other half-orcs.

The orc leader was wearing a minotaur outfit, and his black iron armor was stained with congealed blood. Looks like a boss-level creature that has been through a lot of battles!

"The view of the opponent's territory is very broad, it seems that this is a tough battle!" Zhao Futu looked over there and said in a deep voice.

The location of the orcs is a bit fucked, right in the middle of a small hill, the nearby trees and rocks have been cleared, and the view is very open, and there is basically no possibility of a sneak attack. Moreover, there are not many places with wood in the vicinity, and it is difficult for Zhao Futu to bypass them and find another logging site, I am afraid that those orcs choose to settle here. Part of the reason is that it's convenient to make a fire for cooking.

As one of the intelligent creatures, the orcs have long been accustomed to cooked food.

………………

"You wait for me here, I'll find a way to touch it and scout the attributes of that orc leader!" Zhao Futu said a word to the Medusa leader behind him, and then quietly sneaked over.

From entering this plane until now. He's discovered that quite a few non-heroic creatures also have special abilities.

If any of the orc leaders had any disgusting skills, he would probably have to find another way, because he couldn't afford to lose too much right now. With the strength of his Medusa, it may not be difficult to kill the orcs in front of him. But he now has a large number of harpies and other monsters living near the dungeon, and if the loss of troops is too great, he is not sure if he will be able to withstand them to attack the city!

One point must be mentioned here.

That is, the dungeon will automatically attract wild creatures living nearby. This is also known as a monster siege.

But if there are enough troops in the city, then they will be deterred!

"Three flowers gather at the top!"

"Scouting!"

Zhao Futu sneaked over quietly and quickly detected the attributes of the half-orc leader.

What made him feel quite reassuring was that the half-orc leader did not have any particularly powerful abilities, except for some natural racial abilities, it had mastered primary tactics and primary offensive techniques, and it was a relatively difficult leader-level creature to deal with. The attributes of the orc leader are not very high, and they are relatively average in all aspects, with 60 points of strength, 45 points of agility, 60 points of physical strength, and only 14 points of intelligence.

Its strength is mainly reflected in the mastery of two beginner hero skills!

There is basically nothing fancy about attacking this group of orcs, Zhao Futu led the melee troops to rush head-on, and the Medusa hero Melina commanded his Medusa to kill those orc professionals first. The only thing that is more fortunate is that after all, this is the real evolved plot world, and the range of the short axe thrown by the orcs is not far, only about fifty meters, on the contrary, the range of the arrows shot by Medusa is much higher, at least more than 150 meters, so this provides Zhao Futu with the possibility of fire suppression.

The battle didn't last long!

Ten minutes later, the battle had already come to an end, and the cave people under Zhao Futu's men were basically almost dead, leaving only one leader, five elites, and the only Minotaur elite was also seriously injured, if it weren't for Zhao Futu gritting his teeth and pulling the three lion scorpions up, I'm afraid it would have died by now. Zhao Futu had more than ten more wounds on his body, and the armor of the maiden paladin had become tattered.

One of the two scorpions was scrapped, and the smaller one had a leg cut off, and it was basically impossible to cure it unless he was able to master the restoration magic of this plot plane. The poisonous lion scorpion that was the leader was also covered in blood, and its injuries were slightly better, the only thing that was more troublesome was that the wings on its back were cut off with a few axes, and now it flew a little leaky, and it fell off after flying four or five meters at most.

Medusa died 12 and was injured about 30 or so, none of the injuries were very serious, and it is estimated that they will be able to recover in a day or two!

More than a hundred orcs killed half of them.

Zhao Futu got a dark blue key and opened a very ordinary piece of equipment.

The biggest gain was the capture of more than 50 half-orcs, but unfortunately these half-orcs didn't know what the reason was, and Zhao Futu had no way to recruit them at all.

Maybe it's because of race, but Zhao Futu also has more than fifty more slaves because of this!
