Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Are Remnants in the Village
It is said to be a village, but it is actually a temporary gathering place of more than a dozen orc families. But the gathering place was built in front of a temple, and the boulder-carved idols glowed faintly at night, guarding the orcs of the village from the dark energy that would spread in.
Akasu followed the Yak Orcs back to their home in the village. The orc's home is a few houses made of stone and bark, which can shelter from the wind and rain, which is not easy for the orcs who struggle to survive in this dark energy-infested land.
The old orc beckoned, and the orc named Ogawa cut off a piece of a wild boar's leg hanging from the roof, boiled a pot of steaming broth, and greeted Akasu who came from afar.
"Don't be disgusted with heroes, just rest for one night and go again tomorrow. Ahem. A violent cough caused the old man to protrude a mouthful of blood. Obviously, the old man was not lightly injured during the fierce fight with the black monster just now.
"Old man, the flesh of that black monster just died just now should be quite fresh, why don't you take the flesh and blood of that monster and eat it?" said Akasu, pointing to the corpse of the black monster that had been dragged back
"I can't eat it. If the meat of this black monster is eaten, the mana of the whole body will be infected, and finally it will become an orc with only a brute force, and if you eat it for a long time, you may be infected by the demonic energy and become a humanoid demonic beast, lose your mind, and only know how to kill. The old man patiently explained
"Oh, this black beast is harmful when it says so. Akasu shook his head and said
"It's not all, this monster skin can be refined into beast armor, and the monster crystal nucleus is an auxiliary material for refining dark attribute weapons, that is, the flesh and blood can also be used to refine blood essence, which is a good thing for witch doctors to refine medicine. This black monster is one of the three treasures of the Black Bone District, and it is as famous as black thorns and black gold. The old orc laughed
"Haha, it's the first time I've come to this black bone area to pan for gold, and I don't know anything about these things, thank you for telling the old man the truth, otherwise I really don't know what treasures to come here to pan for." Akasu thanked him
"The hero is a good kung fu, and he has come to the right place to Taobao in this black bone area. This place seems to be extremely sinister, but in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of treasures for those who are really capable. The black thorn was born in the depths of the White Bone Mountain Range, and it was usually guarded by black demon ants, which was difficult for ordinary people to obtain, and the black demon beast was full of magic power, and ordinary orcs could not parry. Therefore, most of the gold diggers who come here to pan for gold can only look for some ores infected by demonic energy, which is what everyone calls black gold. If the hero can have enough strength to hunt the black monster and pick the black thorns, it will not be able to catch it. The old orc said with great interest
"Tomorrow, when I recover, I will personally slaughter this black monster for the hero and send it to the purchase place to exchange some treasures," the old orc continued
"The old man bothered, this black monster should be regarded as my thank you for asking about the relevant information, and besides, I can't travel alone with a bunch of things. Akasu smiled brightly, he knew in his heart that this orc family needed this black monster more than he needed to improve his life.
"By all means, hero, you saved the lives of our grandchildren today, but there is nothing decent on the walls of our family to thank the hero. How can I accept your gift again, this black monster is a hero you killed, according to the rules of the bone clan, whoever kills the prey, the prey will belong to whomever it is. The old man hurriedly excused himself, never daring to accept the black demonic beast presented by Akasu.
"Since you said that this black monster is mine, then I can be the master. Now I will give him to your family, of course, it is okay. Akasu said with a smile
"Then I'll take it. Xiaochuan came over, knelt down and kowtowed to the hero, thank the hero for the gift, there is hope for this light rain's illness. The old orc called for Xiao Chuan to kneel, tears of excitement.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, I'm not a few years older than Ogawa, how can I accept such a big gift," Akasu said as he helped the orc boy who was about to kneel
"The old man just said that there is another child named Xiaoyu who is sick, I don't know if you can let me see it, maybe I can find a way" There are a lot of elixirs left by Teng Chuan in the Akasu storage bag, and there are even strange fruits picked in the Longtan enchantment, thinking that saving people to the end, maybe they can save the life of another orc child.
"Okay, then there's Hero Lao. Xiaoyu is very pitiful, he was infected by dark energy at the beginning, and I tried all means to no avail, so I could only rely on witch medicine to prevent this child from continuing to be demonized. If it weren't for the help of today's heroes, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the money to buy the witch medicine to stop the continued demonization. The old orc sighed sadly
"Well, Terran?" Akasu was a little surprised when he saw that the girl lying on a piece of animal skin in the middle was a Terran.
"Xiaoyu's father is a human race, but unfortunately he was demonized when he went into the Light and Dark Canyon to explore, and never came back. We used to live in the same village, but then the dark energy also engulfed there, except for me and a few villagers who escaped, everyone else fell inside, and I don't know if we live or die," the old man still has lingering palpitations as he recalls the days of his escape.
"Let me try, you wait outside for a while" Akasu noticed that the girl named Xiaoyu had a black aura lingering between her eyebrows, it was pure dark energy.
After the orcs left, Akasu carefully set up the array flag to prevent others from peeping. He took out the crystal ball that Yerusi had given him to absorb the light and dark force from his storage bag and urged it. I saw that the dark energy on the girl's forehead was sucked out of her body little by little by the crystal ball.
After absorbing the energy, Akasu used the dark technique to slowly inhale the purified dark energy from the crystal ball into his body. "It's a pity that I'm not Ye Rusi, if I have a physique like Ye Rusi, these dark energies can be directly absorbed, and now I have to dilute and purify them through crystal balls before I can use them. Akasu muttered to himself as he looked at the crystal ball
After Akasu finished absorbing the dark energy, he put away the array flag and crystal ball, took out a Qi and Blood Pill from the storage bag and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth to help her recover her strength.
About half a pillar of incense, the little girl woke up from a coma. Akasu called the orc grandson in, and then walked out slowly.
"Quickly kowtow to the benefactor" The old orc asked Xiaochuan and Xiaoyu to kowtow to Akasu to thank him.
"Benefactor, you are the savior sent by the Bodhisattva to save our family," the old man knelt down with tears in his eyes, and was helped up by Akasu.
"It just so happens that I have an elixir in my hand that can dissolve the dark energy, so the old man doesn't have to mind," Akasu said with a smile as he drank the broth
"I don't know if it's convenient for the old man to talk about this dark energy diffusion and the matter of the Light and Dark Canyon," Akasu asked as soon as he heard the old man talk about Xiaoyu's father going to explore the Light and Dark Canyon
"Don't hide it from you, hero. This starts from the beginning, our grandson is the bloodline of the patriarch of the Black Bull tribe of the Yak Clan. The Black Bull tribe was annexed by other tribes, and as the patriarch, all the blood was slaughtered, and I escaped desperately. Later, he lived incognito in this bone tribe area, got married and had children, and his life was stable.
The village where I lived in seclusion was deep in the White Bone Mountains, near the upper reaches of the Ming River. Just ten years ago, a couple suddenly came to our village, saying that they had come to collect medicine and wanted to stay for a few days. The man was a Terran doctor, and the woman was a woman from the White Snake tribe, and the woman was pregnant at the time. This kind of good thing is unthinkable for our village in the middle of the mountains. All the witch doctors of the Bone Clan live in medium and large tribes, and it is a great thing that one of the doctors must live in their own small village. The old man of the orc clan stared at the beating bonfire, recalling those years.
