Volume 1 Dark Rising Chapter 34 The Mysterious Orcs
Without much thought, Tamar walked in the direction of the sound.
Without taking a few steps, Taizhang suddenly stopped Tamar, "This voice is completely different from the voice of grief and resentment just now, it seems to be warning us that there may be something dangerous ahead." ”
Before Taizhang's words were finished, Zhou Chang suddenly found that a huge black rock in front of him slowly squirmed a few times, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What is that?"
Tamar and Taizhang followed Zhou Chang's gaze and looked at the black rock, but they didn't find anything unusual, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Chang with puzzled eyes.
Zhou Chang clearly saw the black rock's body squirm a few times just now, it couldn't be dazzling. So, he walked over to the rock, drew the iron sword behind his back, and poked at the black rock.
The rock was poked by Zhou Chang, and it actually let out a low cry, which frightened Zhou Chang to turn around and run. In a panic, he crashed into a wall. The walls were full of uneven stones, which suddenly hit his head painfully and dizzily, and he held his head and only inhaled cold air.
After Zhou Chang's iron sword poked like this, Tamar and Taizhang also saw that the huge rock really squirmed a few times. The cry also came from the black rock.
Tamar clenched the scimitar in his hand, ready to rush forward and slash at the rock.
At this moment, the black rock suddenly turned over, and a huge milky white eyeball emerged from the black. The eyeball was the size of a man's head, and it turned from side to side, as if looking for an uninvited guest to disturb its rest.
Seeing this big eyeball, Zhou Chang was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run, but in a panic, the hand holding the iron sword hit the wall, and the iron sword hit the wall with a 'bang' sound.
The monster seemed to be attracted by the sound, and its eyes looked towards Zhou Chang. It seemed to have spotted Zhou Chang, and the black part under the eyeballs suddenly opened suddenly, revealing a big mouth and a mouth full of fangs.
Zhou Chang was already terrified to the extreme at this time, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move when he stood in the original motion.
The monster was like a worm, relying on the wriggling of its body, and slowly moved towards Zhou Chang. As soon as the monster moved its position, it suddenly emitted a stench ten times more disgusting than the rotting plant stems and leaves on the ground.
Angelina, who was haunted by nightmares, twitched in her stomach a few times, and with a whoop, she began to vomit non-stop. Since she hadn't eaten for almost a day, she didn't have any undigested food in her stomach at all, and all she vomited was bile and gastric juice.
Angelina vomited for a while, but she came to her senses, looked around, and suddenly asked Taizhang beside her, "Senior Brother Taizhang, what kind of place is this?"
Taizhang saw Angelina wake up from the nightmare, his heart was overjoyed, and he was about to answer, when he suddenly found that the monster was already very close to Zhou Chang, and Zhou Changche was like a piece of wood, and couldn't help but remind loudly: "Zhou Chang, that monster is coming towards you, run." ”
Taizhang said in his mouth, and his hands were not idle, a piece of rune paper covered with a talisman seal was thrown out, and with the incantation chanted in his mouth, the rune paper flew down on the monster's huge body.
As soon as the rune paper settled, Taizhang shouted, "Fire!"
As soon as the word 'fire!' came out, the rune paper on the monster's body suddenly burned, but the rune paper burned half and suddenly went out.
Although Taizhang had never encountered such a situation, he clearly remembered that his mentor Lu Jian had told him that the charm was connected to the power of the ancients, and only when it was used on ancient creatures, half of it would be burned and suddenly extinguished.
Taizhang never imagined that he would encounter an ancient creature. And the body of this ancient creature also exudes the corrosive aura of a powerful undead race.
Looking at this situation, the dormant undead qi that Taizhang sensed above should have come from this monster. It's just that it's unthinkable that there will be ancient undead creatures in this place of the demon race.
Zhou Chang was awakened by the suddenly burning rune paper and Taizhang's scream, and the iron sword in his hand waved a few times in the air, feeling that something was wrong, he screamed, and ran towards Taizhang quickly.
At the moment when Zhou Chang left the place, the monster suddenly spewed out a large amount of fishy black liquid from its big mouth covered with snow-white fangs, like spring water, spurting on the wall where Zhou Chang was standing just now.
The wall that had been splashed by the black night body suddenly caved inward, and soon a large hole was broken.
Seeing that the monster missed the blow, its huge body trembled, and then squirmed its body and slowly crawled towards Zhou Chang and them.
Zhou Chang saw that the saliva that the monster spit out of his mouth actually corroded a big hole in the wall, if he had reacted slowly just now and was splashed by its saliva, it would not have turned into a pile of white bones. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Taizhang suddenly asked Zhou Chang to use books and bracelets to deal with the monster.
Zhou Chang's heart was full of fear at this time, his hands trembled like chaff, and he couldn't lift it for a long time.
Tamar on the side was so anxious that he came to Zhou Chang's side, snatched the book and bracelet from him, turned to the page with bone writing, and after the bracelet emitted a lilac light, he aimed at the monster and shone it.
The lilac light shot in a straight line towards the monster.
I heard a 'snort' sound, and the light shone on the mirror, and it was refracted on the wall opposite the monster.
There was another thud, and a large hole exploded in the wall opposite the monster.
Zhou Chang and the others had seen the power of the light, but they didn't expect that the light could still be reflected, and they couldn't help but be shocked and afraid.
Seeing the monster slowly crawling over, everyone had no choice but to return the same way.
At this moment, suddenly from the depths opposite them, the dull voice was heard again. This time, the voice said in human language, "Don't move, don't speak, hold your breath." It will not perceive sounds or breaths, and will not come near you. After a while, when it falls asleep, you quietly come around. ”
The voice was hoarse and low, but every word and tone was clear.
At that moment, everyone stood still, holding their breath, and by the way, they covered the fat man's mouth and nose.
The monster's milky white eyes turned a few times, but it was really as the voice said, without finding Zhou Chang and the others, the huge body shook twice, and then slowly squirmed backwards.
The monster returned to its original position and rolled over, submerging its massive eyes and fanged mouth into the black.
The crowd stayed there for a while, and when they saw that the monster did not respond, it seemed to be asleep. So, with courage, Tamar crept up against the wall and walked towards the monster. As he approached the monster, the monster suddenly trembled, and Tamar's heart jumped out in fright.
However, the monster only shook like this, and then it didn't move again.
Tamar touched his chest, let out a long breath gently, and beckoned to Zhou Chang and them, signaling that they could come over.
At that time, Angelina walked in front, Zhou Chang and Taizhang were holding the fat man, the other covering his mouth and nose behind, carefully passing through the monster and walking deeper.
After walking about 300 meters away, I saw an iron door, and there was a groan of pain from inside the iron gate. Listen carefully to the voice, it is the one who made the dull voice just now.
When they came to the iron gate, they found an iron window above it, and when they looked in from the outside, there was a light shining inside.
Tamar walked to the barred window, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside. I saw a stout man inside, his wrists and ankles chained to the wall half a meter above the ground.
The man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, only that he had gray hair. Tamar's eyesight was excellent, and upon closer inspection, he saw that the man's hair was much thicker than normal.
The man, as if noticing someone watching him, lowered his head on his chest and jerked it up.
When Tamar saw it, he was shocked to see that this man had a face like that of a lion, and his face was covered with deep, long yellow-white animal hair.
"You weren't eaten by the poor outside, but you have some ability. "This lion-headed man speaks the human language, and his words are very clear.
"Are you an orc, why are you being locked up here?" asked Tamar.
The lion-headed man glanced at Tamar and suddenly said, "No wonder you have found this place, it turns out that you are an explorer." ”
Although the lion-headed man did not answer Tamar's question, the lion-headed man was able to see Tamar's identity from such a distance, which surprised Tamar a lot.
Before Tamar could come to his senses, the lion-headed man said, "My name is Zhene, and I'm an orc, and it's a pleasure to meet you, explorer. ”
"Zhenie?" Taizhang muttered, as if he had heard anyone mention this name in the monastery of the Twin Holy Mountains before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Without waiting for Taizhang to think about it, he heard the orc named Zhennie say again: "There is also a human god mage and a talisman master outside. And a ......"
Speaking of this, Zheni suddenly stopped and frowned.
When Tamar heard him tell him the identities of Angelina and Taizhang, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, and when he saw that he was about to talk about the identities of Zhou Chang and the fat man, he was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help asking: "This Mr. Zhennie, you can't guess the people behind?"
A strange look flashed on Zhenie's face, "There is also an ordinary person who has lost his soul, and an unknown person who is about to die. ”
The person who lost his soul in Zhennie's mouth naturally refers to the fat man, and the only unknown person who is about to die is Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed when he heard him say this, "I said this Uncle Zhennie, what is an unknown person who is about to die?"
Zhe Nie sighed and said, "I think I, Zhe Nie, have lived for almost 10,000 years, and I can't see through your identity, so I can only call you an unknown person. ”
After a pause, he said: "As for saying that you are 'going to die', it is because you have been poisoned by the scorpion cat, and I am afraid that you will not live for three months!"
"What kind of scorpion cat poison, are you bluffing?" As soon as Zhou Chang finished speaking, he suddenly thought that he had indeed been scratched by the big black cat, could it be that the big black cat was the scorpion cat in Zhennie's mouth?
As soon as I thought of the big black cat, I felt that the wound that had been scratched by the big black cat began to itch. At first, it was bearable, but in less than ten seconds, it became unbearable.
Zhou Chang hurriedly untied the cloth that wrapped the wound, and looked at it by the light of the oil lamp, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I saw that on the wounds scratched by the big black cat, there were several slender black sarcomas, which were shaped like scorpions.
Angelina, who was standing next to Zhou Chang, noticed Zhou Chang's strange appearance, followed his gaze, looked at his arm, and was startled when she saw it.
"Although this orc man didn't see any of us, he could guess who we were, and he could still find something strange about us. Mr. must be exceptional, is there really no way to cure Zhou Chang's scorpion cat poison?" Seeing that Zhou Chang was so frightened that her face was bloodless, Angelina couldn't help but help him ask Zhe Nie in prison.
"All things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing. Even the most toxic creatures have an antidote to each other. But if you want to get rid of the poison in him, you must get me out. Zheni seemed to groan and said suddenly.
When several people heard Zheni say this, they gathered around to discuss, and they felt that this orc named Zhennie, since he was locked up here, must have an enmity with Henibenfei. Since he is the enemy's enemy, he is also half of their friend, and there should be no threat to them if he is released. On the contrary, with the ability shown by Zhene, he may be able to lead them to escape from this place full of stench and weirdness.
After the decision was settled, Tamar used his scimitar to break the lock on the door, kicked it open, and rushed in first. Carrying the scimitar, he walked towards Zhennie, raised the knife and slashed at the chain in his hand.
Just as the scimitar in Tamar's hand slashed into the chain, a powerful air current suddenly hit him.
Tamar was unsteady on his feet, and suddenly the air flow flew more than a meter high, and he fell heavily to the ground.
