Chapter 8: The Enemy of Acrylic
The night had just passed its thickest hour, and the light of the stars in the sky began to faint, indicating that the dawn was not far away.
Just when everyone thought that the night was about to pass in such peace, the shrill sirens suddenly resounded throughout the camp, accompanied by chaotic movements, and the terrible sound of people screaming and fighting.
The commander of Kenrito did not expect this hidden camp to be discovered by the orcs so quickly, but he did not panic, and began to command in an orderly manner with a calm and majestic voice. This camp in Kenrito was not built in a hurry, when planning the sneak attack, he had already begun to secretly arrange this camp as a backhand and retreat, and set a large number of magic traps in the only entrance and exit, the abandoned mine pit, the orcs had just started the attack, and they were severely damaged in the blow of the trap.
The camp settled down after a brief period of confusion, easily keeping the orcs out with the help of magic traps and terrain.
On an adobe, several mysterious figures stood there, looking out at the abandoned mine cave that was constantly flooded by orcs, and the moonlight shone on their bodies, revealing an eerie atmosphere.
It didn't take long for a figure to appear almost out of thin air, at first at the end of the line of sight, but after a breath of time, it flashed in front of him.
"I've checked, there are only Kenrito's troops in the camp, and I didn't see those people, according to the intelligence of the insiders, someone saw them leave the camp in a hurry with a dozen travelers and merchants before midnight."
Lis's eyes flashed with fierceness, and she said hatefully: "Count them as fast as they run, otherwise I will kill them all here." ”
The man in the lead next to him said in a low voice: "These people dare to be enemies of our funeral society, naturally they can't be forgiven, but now the task above is important, and their escape will save us a lot of hands and feet, first pull out Kenrito's camp, and completely control Mogaolei in our hands, and then it's not too late to hunt down those people." ”
From a distance, you can vaguely see that hearing the movement of magic triggers in the mine, a seriously injured orc was carried out, and more orcs fearlessly stepped forward one after another, using their strong bodies to directly fill in the magic traps of these human mages.
Liz looked at the shape for a while, and said: "There are such large-scale magic traps in the mine alone, and I don't know what kind of hole cards are left in the camp, so if we can pull out Kenrito's camp in the end, the orcs will pay an unimaginable price." ”
"Let's make a move on our inside, anyway, once Kenrito's camp is pulled out, they won't have much use value, it's better to let the orcs retain some more strength, which can also increase the success rate of the follow-up plan."
The man observed silently for a while, and then nodded in agreement, and when Liz saw that her opinion was agreed, she immediately stretched out her hand from her loose sleeve and threw an origami crane, which seemed to be given life when thrown into the air, vividly stretched its slender neck, flapped its wings a few times, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
It didn't take long for the movement in the pit to suddenly become much quieter, and the orcs outside immediately roared and swarmed away when they saw this situation, and then heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from the depths of the pit.
……
When the sky gradually turned pale white, the group finally walked out of the narrow canyon, Fergus looked at the valley in front of him, the depression in his heart was suddenly swept away, and he couldn't help but excitedly said: "This is Razor Canyon, and a little further is the junction of the three places, take this road to avoid the guards of the elevator, and enter the Thousand Needles Forest without the orcs noticing." ”
The others were also full of joy when they heard this, although the Thousand Needles Forest is the territory of the tribe, but due to the special terrain, even the orcs generally only stay on the top of the Needle Forest Rock, and only move and communicate through the guò bridge, except for the indigenous elemental creatures and some wild beasts, there is really no great danger. As long as you can cross the Thousand Needles Forest into Tanaris, you will be able to return to the security area of the Alliance through the port of Guò.
After such a tragic war, these merchants did not have any utilitarian intentions at this time, but only wanted to be able to stay away from those murderous orcs and return safely to the world that belonged to humans. As long as you live, you still have a chance to make a comeback.
The Thousand Needles Forest continues the desolation of the barren land, with rough rocks and cracked earth as far as the eye can see, and occasionally a few climbing plants stubbornly root in the crevices of the rocks, swaying slightly with the whistling wind and sand.
Charon grabbed the oncoming wolf with both hands, and a low roar erupted in his throat, tearing the hungry wolf in half, and the warm organs and blood were splashed all over the ground.
After smelling the smell of the living, this group of hungry wolves immediately launched an attack regardless of the smell of the living, but they did not even catch a single prey, but all of them were buried here, and even the corpse of the man was not left.
Just as Charon had slain the last wolf, the bayonets that had gone to search for it were also rushed back.
The bayonet handed a fist-sized earthy yellow stone to Li Mo's hand, and then said: "Boss, there are traces of battle found ahead, judging from the clues left at the scene, it is likely that it is the handwriting of the recruiter." ”
Li Mo took a closer look at the stone in his hand, and then slightly increased his strength, only to find that the seemingly inconspicuous stone was far harder than he imagined.
"I feel the fluctuations of elemental life, this is not an ordinary stone hewn out." Yang Zheyi, who was on the side, pushed his perception to the extreme, and decisively discovered the unusual thing about the stone.
"This is the crumbs of the Burning Soil, the complete Burning Soil is a rare material, not only can it be used for forging equipment, but it is also an essential element material for casting some special spells, a fist-sized piece of Burning Earth in the space is worth about 5000 experience points, and there will be many plot characters in this world who need this kind of thing." Queen gave direct information about the stone.
"Burning Earth?" Li Mo increased his strength enough to damage the pig iron, and the stones in his hand were cracked, but the scraps had this hardness, if it was a real burning soil, I am afraid it would be as hard as a hundred refining steel.
"This kind of thing doesn't look like a battle that can be dug out of the ground at will...... Could it be that Burning Earth was dropped from elemental creatures? ”
Queen nodded and explained, "Earth elementals, a special life that condenses the essence of the elements and is born from nature, their core is the burning earth. The earth element is very rare, but judging from the environment of this place, there is indeed a high probability that the earth element will appear. ”
Yang Zheyi on the side heard that a fist-sized stone was worth 5,000 training points, his eyes had already lit up, and not long after Queen's words fell, he couldn't help but say: "Bayonet, how many people on the other side, what strength do they have, is it a scattered person or a team?" ”
The bayonet just glanced at Yang Zheyi, then looked at Li Mo, and continued: "There are a total of 3 people, medium-range gunners, melee strength elders, and long-range mages, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, not like the scattered people I just met in this world, but it doesn't look like there is a team. ”
At this time, Acrylic on the side suddenly said: "Is the gunman in it using a Gauss rifle?" ”
The bayonet nodded: "That's right, although after some modifications, the prototype is indeed a Gauss rifle." ”
Li Mo looked at Acrylic and asked, "Who do you know?" ”
Acrylic's face showed a ruthlessness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It should be white teeth, if it weren't for the restoration function of the space, I would only be a waste with mutilated limbs now." ”
Acrylic didn't elaborate, but judging from his expression and tone, it was clear that he had a deep hatred for the man called White Fang.
The others didn't speak, just looked at Li Mo quietly, waiting for his decision.
Li Mo thought about it for a while, and quickly made a decision, letting the bayonet lead the way in front and leading the group towards the location of the three recruiters.
Seeing that Li Mo and the others suddenly deviated from the route, Fergus couldn't help but hurriedly said in the back: "Wait a minute, where are you going?" The Shining Plains will soon be there, and as long as we cross the Shining Plains, we will be able to take a boat out of this savage continent at the hot sand harbor. ”
However, Li Mo didn't even look at Fergus, and walked straight in the direction pointed by the bayonet.
Fergus and the other travelers and merchants glanced at each other, and finally could only follow, they were already frightened by the orcs, and they did not dare to walk alone in the territory of the orcs, and in such a barren and barbaric place, even if there were no orcs, if they encountered beasts or elemental creatures, what awaited them was only a dead end.
