Chapter 8: The Orcs Are Coming!

"SM, your sister, I'm not as bad as you! Take a good look around and see what you've done to Lao Tzu!"

Lu Yun Qidao.

"Uh... This one.. Why are you still being arrested?"

Luo Qi looked around from Lu Yun's perspective, and then he knew why Lu Yun was so annoyed.

"What's wrong? You're embarrassed to ask what's wrong! Isn't it because of the direction you pointed? If it weren't for listening to you, would Lao Tzu have ended up where he is now?"

Lu Yun shouted angrily.

"Then you can't blame me entirely! I only know that there is a village there, and who knows that someone in the village is arresting people! You yourself have been caught by accident, blame me!"

Rocky pouted.

"You...!!Alas~, forget it, I won't have anything to do with you! Let's help me think about how to escape!"

Lu Yun sighed and said.

"Uhhh , in your current situation, the odds of wanting to escape...... It's almost zero! Just now, I took a cursory look at the soldiers escorting you, and found that there are several cultivation levels in there that are above the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering Stage! Although I can use my energy to open this cage that locks you, even if I open it, what can I do? With your current strength, you can't beat those soldiers outside! Even if you escape, you will still be captured!"

Luo Qi said helplessly.

"Then what do you say now?"

Lu Yun called.

"Now, we can only wait and see what happens!"

Rocky shrugged her shoulders and said.

"Ugh...."

Lu Yun sighed helplessly and thought to himself.

"If it's really what Rocky said, it seems that now we can really just wait and see what happens. After all, my cultivation is too low, even if any one of them comes, I can't beat it, let alone a whole team. Let's wait, perhaps, when we reach the destination they escorted, there will be a chance to escape?"

"But it's idle anyway, it's idle, and it just so happens that now that you have spiritual power in your body, it's better to study the exercise called "Shadow Step" first!"

In this way, Lu Yun gave up the idea of escaping for the time being, and stayed quietly in the prisoner car to secretly study the exercises.

One day, two days ......

I don't know how many days passed, and the prisoner cart escorting them kept moving all the way to the north.

As the convoy progressed, the road began to get more and more bumpy and the air around it became colder. The breeze that had been blowing around me gradually turned into a bitter cold wind, and even snowflakes began to fall in the sky from time to time.

As the convoy kept moving forward, the air was getting colder and the snow was getting more and more in the sky. Hunger, thirst, and cold constantly invaded the people in the prison cart.

Although the soldiers who escorted them would be provided with some water and food every day. However, the amount of the supply was pitiful, only a full size of an adult. It's just to keep them alive and not let them starve to death. But even so, there are many people who have not resisted the bumps and hunger along the way, or they have died of illness or starvation.

Whenever someone died, several soldiers would come and open the cage and throw the dead person to the side of the road.

Even, in order to prevent someone from pretending to be dead and escaping, after throwing down those corpses, those soldiers would casually pull out their sabers and make up for the already cold corpses a few more times. Looking at the incomparably indifferent eyes in the eyes of those soldiers who swung their knives and slashed at the corpses, Lu Yun couldn't help but shudder. But at the same time, it also dispelled the thoughts of Lu Yun and many people in the cage who wanted to escape by pretending to be dead.

Lu Yun, who was sitting in the prison car, pulled his head weakly, these days, if it weren't for the constant desperate operation of the aura in his body to keep warm along the way. With his physical fitness, I am afraid that he would have been frozen to death like those corpses left on the side of the road.

However, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, after a few days of continuous operation of spiritual energy, Lu Yun's cultivation level has also been raised from the first layer of the Spirit Gathering Period to the third layer of the Spirit Gathering Period. At the same time, by the way, I learned the exercise called Shadow Step without a teacher.

However, no matter how hard Lu Yun tried to operate the aura in his body, it was only enough to maintain the temperature of his body. The lack of food and water in the past few days has gradually hollowed out Lu Yun's body! Now Lu Yun is almost no longer able to raise his arm.

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid that when you reach your destination, you won't even have the strength to walk, so why talk about escaping!"

Lu Yun raised his head to the sky and sighed.

Just when Lu Yun was melancholy, suddenly, in the bleak white snow a few miles away, a black shadow that stretched for hundreds of miles suddenly appeared.

Lu Yun looked fixedly, the extremely huge black shadow was actually a city!

On the outer walls of the city, countless soldiers stood upright like sculptures on the outer walls of the city. The majestic and solemn aura that came from those soldiers! In a trance, it seemed as if what stood in the snow was not a city, but a black beast crawling on the earth, ready to devour all creatures that dared to offend its majesty.

"Could it be.... Could it be that there is.... Far North Ice City!!"

Lu Yun was shocked and muttered to himself with fear.

In his memory, this was originally a bitter cold place in the north of Zhongzhou. Because the climate here is very cold and covered by heavy snow all year round, it has naturally become the harshest and most barren land on the Xuanyuan Continent, and is called the "Far North Land" by the people of Zhongzhou!

Due to the harsh climate of the Far North, no other creature can live there except for those orcs and some hardy creatures who are extremely capable of surviving.

Therefore, the Far North has been ruled by orcs for a long time.

However, due to the cold climate and the barren land, the Far North could not supply the food and supplies that the orcs needed to live.

Therefore, in order to survive, the orcs often wage wars against Zhongzhou in order to plunder resources.

The orcs were so strong that almost all of them became food for them!

Even, a few decades ago, under the leadership of a strong man of the orc clan, the orc clan slaughtered all the way from the extreme north to the imperial city! Stirred up the panic of the entire imperial city! Although in the end, after almost exhausting all the forces of the imperial dynasty and paying an extremely heavy price, the orc clan was finally successfully driven back to the extreme north. However, because of this, the imperial city was furious, and immediately sent heavy troops to establish an incomparably huge city on the border between the extreme north and Zhongzhou, called the "Far North Ice City"!

For decades, the war between the Far North Ice City and the orcs has never stopped! Countless orcs and Middle-earth soldiers die in the war almost every day. Even, in a siege battle that lasted for more than a month one year, the blood shed by the human race and the beast race dyed the walls built by the black stone into blood!

As a result, the Far North Ice City is also called the "Far North Blood City" by the people of Zhongzhou!

Although it is still several miles away from the city. However, Lu Yun seemed to have smelled the thick smell of blood emanating from that city. My body couldn't help but tremble!

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a shout woke up Lu Yun, who was immersed in panic, and he turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw that not far from the escort convoy, tall black shadows were slowly walking towards them from the heavy snow. The snow obscured people's vision, and they were all draped in black cloaks. Therefore, in addition to being able to faintly see that those figures seem to be human figures. For the rest, you can't see anything clearly.

Without knowing whether the figures that suddenly appeared in the snow were friends or foes, the soldiers did not dare to act rashly for the time being, so they could only obediently stay on the spot.

And those Taoist figures still walked slowly towards the escort convoy unhurriedly.

Those figures were getting closer and closer, and when they were only six or seven meters away from the escort convoy, Lu Yun finally saw the faces under the cloaks of those figures.

However, when I saw their faces clearly, the original vigilance in my heart instantly turned into horror!

On the necks of those tall figures, there are not human faces! but wolf heads! Those tall figures are actually werewolves!!

"Oh no! It's a werewolf of the orc clan!

At this time, the soldiers who were on the alert finally realized that the situation was wrong!

"Roar~!"

Seeing that they were recognized, the werewolves no longer pretended. A cloak torn apart, a mouth full of fangs roared towards the convoy!

Werewolves, who live in the wild all year round, have a strong explosive power! In just an instant, more than a dozen orcs crossed a distance of six or seven meters to meet the soldiers escorting the convoy!

And the soldiers who escorted the convoy were not to be outdone! Yellow, green, blue, bursts of colorful aura burst out from his body, and he grabbed the weapon in his hand and fought with the werewolf!

However, those soldiers who have cultivated spiritual energy are okay, and with the support of spiritual power, they can barely compete with those werewolves. But those soldiers who had not cultivated were miserable! Under the extremely sharp claws of the werewolf, the soldiers who had not cultivated spiritual power could not even survive a single round, and were torn to pieces in an instant.

In just a few minutes, except for the few soldiers who had cultivated the aura, they were still fighting hard. The other soldiers who had not cultivated were almost all strangled by the werewolves!

At this time, next to the cage where Lu Yun was held.

"Wow!", and the sharp wolf claws easily pierced the chest of a soldier. Then, with a casual pull, the werewolf pulled out the soldier's heart, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it in a big gulp.

"Crunch ~ Crunch ~"

The werewolf chewed the food in his mouth and turned his head to look at the cage where Lu Yun was. Looking at the people in the cage, the werewolf seemed to have seen a lot of delicious food, and walked towards the cage with a huff!

"Not good!!"

Seeing the werewolf walking slowly, Lu Yun was shocked.

"Big brother, don't eat me!"

"Don't eat me!!"

"Help!!"

The people in the cage were also frightened after seeing the tragic situation of the soldier just now, kneeling in the cage and screaming hoarsely.

"Roar!!"

Ignoring the voices of the men, the werewolf roared and slapped the cage with a paw.

How could those wooden cages withstand the strength of the werewolves, and they were split apart in an instant!

"Whew~!"

Seeing that the cage was broken, the werewolf screamed with joy, jumped up suddenly, and pounced on the people who were imprisoned in the cage!
