Chapter Twenty-Nine: Behind the Rock
Although Fang Senyan was waiting, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance did not stop for a moment, and unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly rushed straight from the chaotic rocks!
Although Fang Senyan expected that the enemy might come soon, he didn't expect that the momentum of that pounce would be so swift!
He rolled out to the side in embarrassment, and finally barely avoided this pounce, Fang Senyan panicked, his hands crossed in front of his chest, but the expected pursuit did not come, and after the black shadow landed, a light turn actually scurried into the dark narrow cave under the boulder!
Fang Senyan let out a long breath and shook his head with a wry smile. Where is the black shadow chasing soldiers, it is clearly a snow badger, it seems to be very frightened, leaping at great speed. If he was in Ping, Fang Senyan should also be able to distinguish human tracks and beast tracks, but now his ability has decreased significantly, and he is also troubled by the current strange situation, so there is such a low-level mistake.
Then a number of animals scurried from the rear, passing through the cave and continuing to run towards the rocky valley. They were apparently disturbed by the fire in the distant sky. Fang Senyan took advantage of the situation, hunted a ferret to use as rations for the next few days, and then leaned his hastily made "ladder" against the rock wall, and successfully climbed the huge rock with the fog song on his back.
Of course, he didn't forget to draw the ladder up. Although this act may not be able to delay the pursuing orcs for long, Fang Senyan is very clear: it may be useful to do it, but if you don't do it, it will definitely be useless!
The top of this boulder is quite wide, more than five meters wide, and there is even something like sediment on it, and some plants such as tenacious alpine lichen moss grow. When your fingers touch it, you may even have the illusion of touching rough skin.
Although Fang Senyan knew that time was pressing, he still calmed down, and carefully observed the surrounding forms through the already faint morning light, complaining that Fang Senyan was so careful. After all, the reef let out a loud cry here, and then completely evaporated from the world.
Fang Senyan deeply knew that in terms of personal strength alone, Jiao Shi was at least much stronger than himself in terms of resistance to attacks, and he was only poisoned by a part of the chivalry in his head, but in terms of on-the-spot adaptation and hand-to-hand combat, he was not below him at all. If he couldn't even make a follow-up warning in this short moment, he would directly evaporate from the world...... That kind of power is chilling just to think about!
At this time, the sky was already light, and Fang Senyan continued to lie on it, vigilantly observing the environment ahead. The mountain walls on both sides of the area extend like a flare, so that a relatively wide valley is formed, and even the rocks appear to be sparse. Everything seemed normal, and there was nothing dangerous about it. But Fang Senyan also knew very clearly that if the danger was visible at a glance, then there could not be much threat at all, and the reef would not evaporate from such a strange world.
Suddenly, Fang Senyan's gaze stayed on the back of a rock, where a line of brown appeared, which looked like half a straw sandal. At this time, the sky was still very dark, and the surrounding environment looked quite vague, if it weren't for Fang Senyan's meticulous and subtle thinking, and deliberately searching, it would be difficult to find that abnormality.
Between the snowy peaks of the far north, the climate is quite cold, and the strong orcs take care of their captives very carefully, not only giving them animal skin clothes to protect them from the cold, but also straw sandals woven from thick straw grass. Wrapping your feet in animal skins and putting on soft straw sandals can greatly reduce the chance of frostbite when walking. On the contrary, those ordinary orcs did not have this treatment, and their feet were covered with frostbite and pus and blood.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Senyan was also wearing this kind of straw sandals on his feet, so he felt that the line of brown looked familiar. His heart moved, in this place, wearing this kind of straw sandals, except for himself, of course, it was the reef, could it be that the place where he encountered an accident was here?
But the reef has the ability to protect itself, and it is impossible to die here! As soon as he thought of this, Fang Senyan only felt that there were many contradictions and doubts, his breathing couldn't help but be lighter and slower, and after carefully observing the surroundings again, after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, he put the elf girl aside first, and then pushed down the temporary wooden ladder, and then jumped down from the boulder. ,
After jumping down, Fang Senyan seemed to smell a very peculiar smell in his nose, but this smell seemed to be very faint, he looked at it again, and found that there were also condensed oil beads on the stones around him.
This Fang Senyan didn't have time to find the root cause, and tiptoed towards the rock.
As the distance got closer and closer, Fang Senyan could already determine that it was a straw sandal worn by a person, and the toes exposed in the gap of the straw shoes were clearly visible. It's just that the color of the toes has turned dark blue. Apparently, the body of the owner of the toe had been frozen and stiffened, and the body had long since lost its life.
Fang Senyan also leaned over, as the distance approached, his whole body was also tense to the extreme, and Fang Senyan was also ready to go, once anything unusual happened, he would definitely be able to flee immediately...... Although such behavior is likely to be of little use.
Everything was quiet all around, except for the fire-red sky behind it. And the horror in Fang Senyan's heart rose to the extreme. If the corpse that appeared in front of him was from the reef, he could still be mentally prepared, but the truth was completely beyond Fang Senyan's expectations:
Although the corpse was frozen, the flesh and blood on the surface of the body were blurry, and it was so terrible that even the face could not be seen clearly, and it was a captive who had been skinned off!!!!
"Could it be...... Thousands of feet above, is the platform from which I fled, the top of the snowy peak? ā
Fang Senyan couldn't help but look up, but he only saw the clouds and mist, the cold wind howling, and faintly in the snow and fog, he could see the multi-layered platform-like ridge above, and a huge mystery was already lingering in his heart:
That is, these strong orcs did not hesitate to go out thousands of miles to hunt slaves, and they had to take care of the captives on the way, and how huge the manpower and material resources were consumed. At such a cost, why did he finally peel off the skin and throw the car from the top of the snowy peak after the captives were strengthened in life?
Even though the orcs are rude, murderous, civilized, and not known for their cunning, Saruman behind them is a scheming and disguised guy, and behind such a lot of trouble, what he is trying to do is bound to be amazing! And ...... for yourself I'm afraid that I have inadvertently approached the core area of this truth!
Fang Senyan had experienced so many strange and unpredictable things, and his curiosity had already risen to the ground. Although he knew that there was a lot of danger here, he also knew in his heart that danger and opportunity often went hand in hand. I'm afraid that after revealing the truth of the matter, the information obtained alone is invaluable. He took a closer look and noticed something unusual about the corpse.
The corpse has been deformed......"
...... "It's strange to fall from a thousand-foot high snowy peak and not deform." However, looking at the bloodstains in the surrounding environment, this corpse has not yet lost its breath after falling, and it has been rolling and struggling for a long time on the ground, not to mention the pain, before dying, the sparse stones in a radius of dozens of square meters are covered with blood, and the traces of being flattened are clearly visible, and even some of the surrounding rocks have been pulled out of the deep flesh and blood finger marks!
And the corpse was originally blurred flesh and blood was peeled and fell down, and rolled on the ground, and the warm flesh on the body would inevitably be stained with a lot of scattered leaves, stones, ice cubes and other fragments, once blown by the cold wind, it was like glue stuck to it, and it was impossible to pull it off.
Fang Senyan saw such a tragic situation, and his heart was also terrified.
He looked up, and saw that on the vast valley in front of him, there were dozens of similar ice corpses, some of which landed on their heads, and they should have died immediately, while others were grinning with bared teeth, their bodies were twisted, and their deaths were extremely tragic, crawling and rolling on the ground, and they obviously went through a violent and incomparable pain before they died.
Obviously, the source of the severed finger in the intestines of the snow badger that he had killed with the reef before was here!
Seeing such a scene, Fang Senyan couldn't help but think of the concoction potion he had drunk before: Hachim plus mucus. Judging from the degree of fractures of the corpses that appeared at the scene, these skinned slaves must have gone through many collisions in the process of falling, and only fell to the bottom after sliding.
In the process of falling, once you hit your head, you will at least more than a widower die on the spot. The rest of the children should not have been touched in the head when they fell and collided, so they still have to survive in this desperate valley and wail and crawl and roll for a long time before freezing to death!
Seeing this corpse in a miserable state one by one, Fang Senyan also felt a chill suddenly rising from his heart. Strictly speaking, the effect of the drug Hychym plus mucus is indeed very strong, but Fang Senyan didn't expect that this drug was so domineering, as if it wanted to squeeze out all the potential in the human body bit by bit.
The more serious the injury, the more and faster this squeezing force becomes, so even if you are hit hard by the abyss of ice after being skinned, you still have to continue to struggle and roll for a while before swallowing your last breath!
In the following search, Fang Senyan found that there were huge faint paw prints on the nearby stones, the rocks here were extremely hard, but they seemed to be as vulnerable as tofu in front of the paw prints. There are also more than a dozen poorly made stone basins scattered on the ground, most of which have been broken, and only two are basically intact and can still be put together. (To be continued.)
