Verse 16 The Legend of the Wind
The junction of the Orc Plateau and the Gray Mist Jungle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Snowflakes fall from the sky.
In front of the skin tent, the old orcs kept warm by the campfire, rubbing the backs of their hands from time to time.
A dozen orc children sat around the fire with a white breath, waiting for a pair of round and watery eyes, staring expectantly at the old orc's face. In front of the old orc were small pieces of various food, some of which were black and hard jerky, and some of which were still with animal hair and were frozen hard, but most of them were black balls made of crude starch and the like.
These are the "rewards" of the old orcs.
“…… Wait, right? The children? The old orc asked with a smile, watching the children shake their heads together, then laughed and continued: "Today, I want to tell the story of the dragon. ”
"What is a dragon?" A little orc asked.
"The dragon is the executor, and whenever the great god of the gray mist sneers on the foolish, the holy and powerful dragon appears in the sky......"
With the vicissitudes of the old orc's voice, the little orcs gradually began to enter a wonderful state, following the voice of the old orc into the wonderful epic story, experiencing the magnificent adventure experienced by the heroes in the story.
Firewood crackled in the fire.
Before I knew it, the thick log had burned into a blue charcoal ash, and the flames had become very low, so that only a few residual carbons shone red, shining on the frozen red faces of the little orcs.
The old orc's cheeks, carved with the marks of time, in the red light of the residual carbon, the uneven folds of his face pulled out a long shadow in the dim light, making the old orc's face look a little more gloomy.
“…… However, everything is already over. The actions of the Sword Patriarch angered the God of Gray Mist, and the great God of Gray Mist sent the strongest divine dragon to devour the Sword Patriarch in one bite, and personally descended to destroy all of his races. The old orc blinked his old eyes and sighed in an epic aria.
"But...... Isn't Juggernaut our hero? Why did the God of Grey Mist punish him? A little orc with pigtails asked, tilting his head.
"Of course! But he shouldn't have angered the God of Gray Mist, and none of us could resist the God of Gray Mist! No one can offend the great god of the Grey Mist without paying the price! Even if he's a Juggernaut! ”
The old orc's tone was a little rushed, so frightened that the little orc's neck shrunk, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
But even so, the old orc didn't seem to feel happy, and simply stood up, limping two steps, and then he slapped his hard wooden prosthetic leg and shouted, "What if it's a shaman? What if it's the care of Mother Earth? Whoever goes against the will of the God of Grey Mist will die! Whoever it is!! ”
"It's not just him! Even his children, angry people, and clans have to disappear! Disappear! Disappear!! ”
The old orc snorted and gasped, and the rich white gas spewed out from his nose, and the whole person was like a steam train with horsepower.
"......" The little orcs had never seen such a terrifying expression of the old orc, and they all looked cringe.
"Huh? That...... What is that!? ”
The little orc with the pigtails from before asked, pointing to the sky.
In the purple night sky, a long black shadow twisted and swirled, and some black liquid was dripping from its body, as if it had just come out of the water.
The old orc stared at the night sky in astonishment, staring at the shadow hidden in his memory with his eyes firmly fixed on it, and muttered its name in his mouth.
"God...... Dragon!? ”
"Shenlong!?" The pigtailed little boy scratched his head strangely, "But...... Isn't it condemned to sinners? Why are you here? ”
"Because...... Because...... Sinner......" The old orc's lips trembled, and the whole person trembled, staring at the dark shadow in the sky, and his old face was full of terror and despair.
"Ahh It fell!? The pigtailed little orc shouted.
"Falling?" The old orc looked at it, and the huge snake-like monster in the sky was indeed landing.
No, it's not so much a fall as a fall.
Although it still tried to flap its wings, it was clear that it no longer had the strength to continue flying. The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, and in the eyes of the little orcs, it is the black shadow that is getting bigger and bigger......
"Oh my God! It...... Why is it so big!? Compare...... Bigger than the tents of ten chiefs' houses! ”
"What ten!? Twenty of them! ”
"Nope! Fifty! Definitely more than fifty...... Oh my god, a hundred ......"
The struggling black shadow in the sky grew bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally so big that the whole sky seemed to be enveloped in its figure!
Then the salespeople no longer argued about who was right and who was wrong, and were no longer in the mood to describe the dark shadow that covered the sky with "how many tents of the chief's house......
…… Everyone is screaming and running around!
"Oh my God! Fell! I'm going to be stoned to death!! ”
"Run! Run......"
“……”
One by one, the little orcs with nimble legs ran as fast as they could, leaving only the cowards who were too frightened to sit on the ground and couldn't get up, and the old orcs who couldn't run at all with a wooden prosthetic leg.
"It's over...... It's all over...... It's finally here...... Hehehe...... Hahaha...... I'm going to die...... You're all going to die!! Everybody's dead! The old orc stood in place and roared.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ――――――"
There was a violent tremor under his feet, and then a loud bang came from very close proximity. Everyone only felt that the falling ground suddenly shook, as if an invisible wave was rolling through the ground under their feet, causing all the escaped little orcs to fall into a mess.
Only the one-legged old orc stood silently in place, staring blankly at the direction of the flying serpent descending from the sky.
"Ahh
"Monster! Monster!! ”
"Run! Run-"
“……”
Shouts, screams, came from afar.
"Ahh Dad! Daddy's voice! The pigtailed little orc suddenly jumped up and prepared to run towards the place where the giant dragon had fallen.
"You don't want to kill you? Don't go! The old orc grabbed the pigtail little orc.
"Nope! I'm going! I'm going to save Daddy! ”
"No one survives! That's the Dragon! A real dragon! The old orc roared, "Don't run away while the others are killed!" Never come back to this place! Run!! ”
"Nope! You let go of me! The pigtailed little orc struggled hard, but unfortunately his strength was far less than that of the one-legged old orc, and he was dragged by the old orc's arm and limped into the distance.
"But...... It seems to be being hunted down...... Target. A chubby little orc suddenly said.
Just when the others were running away, this little fat dun kept squatting on the ground and looking at the sky, and when everyone else had already run away, the little fat dun slowly said the answer to his speculation.
"Nope! How can it be! Mighty Dragons ...... Forever ...... forever"
The old orc was retorting righteously, but the scene that had just appeared made his rebuttal sound smaller and smaller...... Getting smaller and smaller......
"But...... It's hurt. The fat little orc held out his hand, "This is the ...... that just dripped from it"
The lame old orc looked by the light of the fire, and saw a large red patch on the little orc's hand......
…… Bloodstain!
"Ahh Look! What is that?? Little Chubby suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted.
The lame old orc, who was still in shock, twisted his head stiffly, only to see a much smaller black dot in the sky flying down after the injured dragon, and it looked like an orc at that size......
No!
No, no......
The man was much smaller than an orc, almost like an orc child.
For example, the pigtail little orc.
Moreover, that small black shadow was indeed "chasing" the great divine dragon, and as soon as it was on the road, it launched an attack on the divine dragon struggling on the ground......
I saw a huge silver light flashing, and the black shadow actually cut off one of the dragon's wings mercilessly!
"Oh my God! Is that...... That's ......" The old orc pointed to the scene in front of him, "Everyone, everyone, everyone!?" ”
"Human!?" The little chubby orc exclaimed, "That skinny little guy is a human!?" ”
"......" The old orc didn't say anything, just silently watched what was happening in the distance, his hands trembled slightly and he didn't say a word.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the little boy with pigtails violently broke free from the grip of the old orc's big hands, and his small body rushed forward like a loach.
"Hey! You don't want to die!? The old orc roared angrily at the back of the pigtailed boy.
"I'm going to find Daddy!"
The voice of the little orc came from afar, and the lame old orc could only shake his head and sigh.
In front of the pigtailed boy was the area where the entire clan lived, and it was also the place where the behemoth fell.
Their tribe is a very small tribe called the Greystone Tribe. There are less than 50 adult males in the Greystone tribe, and these 40 or so adult males belong to 6 small families and 23 small families.
The lame old orcs were picked up by their tribe in the "cattle farm".
At that time, the old orc was lying on the "cattle farm" and dying, not at all like the other old orcs, kneeling on the ground reverently waiting for death to come. And when the chief of Greystone passed by, the lame old orc suddenly said a word, which made the chief of Greystone take him back to the tribe.
However, the gray orcs did not respect knowledge, they respected shamans and powerful warriors, so the lame old orcs, who could not hunt, had to earn a small ration by doing handicrafts, teaching women to grow things, tanning animal skins, and telling stories to children.
I don't know if it's because of outsiders or other relationships, the place where the old orc lives is still a few hundred meters away from the tribe's settlement, especially in this cold weather, except for the little orc, few people will come to the old orc's corner from the settlement.
The distance of a few hundred meters was only a matter of an eye for the strong little orc with pigtails, and it was not until he got closer and closer to the dark shadow that he knew why the old orc was so afraid of the so-called divine dragon.
The little boy with pigtails saw with his own eyes a famous strong samurai who was slapped into a meatloaf by the tail of the dragon! Without even the most ordinary resistance, a strong man who could hunt Cambra died so easily, like a small bug swatted to death by a fly swatter.
"Daddy!! Daddy, where are you?!? The pigtailed little orc shouted.
"Run! Come on!! Stay back! ”
When the pigtailed little orc looked for prestige, he saw a big orc man with a scar on his face roaring at the cellar in the distance.
"Daddy! You're alright! The pigtailed little orc shouted happily and ran over to that side.
"Don't come here! Come on! It's not safe here! Just now the cellar of the Tamu family collapsed! The whole family is dead in the cellar! Get out of here! In case we die, leave some blood for our family! Get the hell out of here!! ”
The Scarface Orc roared with all his might. His current position was on the brink of the scuffle between the humans and the dragon, which made it very dangerous for him to stick his body out like this, and the random flying of a rock would make him die a terrible death.
"But ......"
"Get out! You're trying to keep me dead, aren't you? ”
At the roar of the Scarface Orc, a huge rock rolled and flew over, grazing his body and shattering their tent to pieces!
"Ah...... I ......" The pigtailed little orc gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, turned around and ran back in the direction of the lame old orc.
But before he had run two steps, he heard a scream.
Turning back suddenly, he saw the Scarface Orc looking at him with a look of horror......
The pigtailed little orc suddenly looked up, and suddenly found a huge black shadow shrouded in the sky above him, the huge size and speed of the South African block, so that he didn't even have time to escape.
"Am I leaving? Am I going to return to the arms of Mother Earth? ”
In an instant, the pigtailed little orc's simple mind suddenly turned over these two ultimate questions comparable to where I came from and where I was going.
"Ahhh――――――hhh
The Scarface Orc roared unwillingly, reaching out and pulling out his battle axe to slash at the huge tail that fell from the sky, but it was too late, he couldn't catch up with his own speed alone, and even if he did, it would only add one more revenant.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still in the mind of the pigtailed orc, and everything slowed down and blurred......
"Daddy...... Amma ......"
"Ah...... Yes? ”
"Roaring ――――――"
With a violent scream from the divine dragon, the hot liquid like a torrential rain instantly drenched the body of the little orc who was braided into the sky.
A dazzling light flashed in front of him, and the huge body of the divine dragon was split in two!!
Touch!
A human landed in front of the pigtailed orc and spewed out two long white gases......
"Hoo ......"
Chen Yin looked at the little orc in front of him who was as frightened as a quail, grabbed his collar and threw him far away.
"Oops......"
The screams of the scar-faced orcs and the pigtailed little orcs came from far behind Chen Yin, making the corners of his mouth involuntarily bend.
"Tempest!"
