Ruby's face changed, and she hurriedly whispered, "Oh no, it's the cry of the tundra wolfbeast." ”

"Some barbarians of the Westwall and Northwall Mountains often domesticated them, and it was supposed to be adventurers, and we were discovered. ”

There was a hint of solemnity on Loki's face, he had asked a lot of adventurers about the story, but he didn't reduce unnecessary trouble, and it was rare to hear that an adventure party would go deep into the jungle and carry some hound-like helpers.

It's not like an adventurer, it's not necessarily a barbarian, it's more like a hunter or a slave hunter, but the latter doesn't necessarily come to the Forest of Secret Words, where there is a lack of prey and slave resources.

Loki immediately drew the crossbow behind his back, quickly put on the crossbow string and said, "Be prepared to be discovered, they can or stay in this forest of secret words, they will not be ordinary people, we will quietly evacuate first." ”

In order not to be exposed, the two of them could not return the way they came, so Ruby took a step into the bushes next to her, trying to reduce the noise she was making.

In the direction of the wolfbeast's howl, there was a sudden loud shout, a language that had never been heard before, but Loki didn't dare to stay long, and hurriedly followed the cat orc and left.

The footsteps behind them grew louder and louder, accompanied by the cries of tundra wolfbeasts, and Loki and the others could no longer bother to hide their figures, and ran towards the densest woods.

"Oh my God!" Ruby exclaimed.

Then there was a sudden sound of the trunk of the tree bending, and I saw that on the ground in front of me, the layer of dead leaves suddenly rose.

It turned out to be a large net that suddenly rose into the air, and this was actually a trap that had been preset for a long time, just catching Ruby, the cat orc in front.

Although Loki couldn't react, but the retina has an image playback function, and in a moment of consciousness, he had already noticed the key link of the trap just now, a tree trunk that had been crushed into an arc and bent, and two strong ropes were tied to the trunk low.

Footsteps from behind him drew closer, and Loki hurried to the rope under the trap and pulled a sharp dogleg knife from his waist that was suitable for chopping.

"Ruby, watch out for falling off. ”

With a quick reminder, Loki slashed the rope with two quick swords, and the cat orc quickly fell along with the net that trapped her.

Loki cut through the net with a serrated straight knife, and Ruby barely managed to get out of it, pushing the bushes out of the way from where it came.

Before he could see the face, Loki decisively raised his crossbow and hurriedly shot an arrow at the figure's lower thigh.

"Don't. Ruby seemed to see the figure clearly, and was about to say something to stop it, but the crossbow arrow had already been fired.

However, what was unexpected was that the comer reacted faster than expected, and with the machete-like weapon in his hand, he swung it out with a sharp backhand, and directly slashed the crossbow arrow.

Loki's face changed slightly, and he saw that three extremely strong figures appeared in front of him, each of them with dark brown skin and knotted muscles, wearing a fine leather armor, his forehead and chin protruding from a human, and the appearance of a half-orc was somewhat similar, and the two fangs under the mouth stuck out of the mouth, but the eyes gave people a more vicious feeling.

Ruby muttered, "They are—strong orcs, soldiers of the Orc Empire. ”

Since seeing these orcs, Loki has begun to be on guard, and the retinal instant data assessment shows that the strength attribute of these three orcs is at least 1.9 or above, among which the orcs who fly his crossbow arrows have an agility of no less than 1.2, and they at least have the strength of a first-order professional or above.

As for the strong orcs, Loki had heard some rumors in the tavern of Fog Castle, they were different from the clan orcs, they did not have obvious specific beast appearance characteristics, and their appearance was close to that of half-blooded orcs, but they were darker than orcs, and their bodies were stronger and taller.

The strong orc led by the leader was obviously enraged by the half-elf boy, he shouted angrily in an incomprehensible language, pulled out the throwing axe on his waist, and threw it directly at Loki.

With a dark red rough axe, the Spin threw it, and there was a slight friction sound of air piercing, like the Minotaur axe throwing performance he had seen before, but for Loki, it was a performance before, and this time it was indeed a mortal threat.

Loki gritted his teeth and pushed Ruby the cat and orc away, and at the same time, with the reaction force, his body jerked to the side.

There was a muffled sound from the trunk of the tree, and the blade of the axe made the bark and sawdust fly behind it.

"Run. Loki gritted his teeth and shouted, and then he didn't care if the cat orcs could escape, and he just rolled over and was about to burrow into the bushes.

But before he could hide in the bushes, a more agile and fast shadow suddenly appeared on the side, and a tundra wolfbeast larger than the half-elf boy threw him to the ground.

Loki used all his strength to feed, and rolled around with the wolf beast, and got up in disgrace, he barely pressed his body against the giant wolf, but he couldn't hold it for long.

Not to be outdone, the hideous tundra wolfbeast slammed into the half-elf boy's neck with a bloody mouth full of fangs, and Loki's eyes were quick and he hurriedly dodged his head to the side.

You can even hear the loud sound of the wolf's kiss biting, and the tundra wolfbeast is very agile, and after one miss, it is fierce and unabated, and opens its big mouth to bite him in the face.

Loki had been wrestling just now, and now it was time to run out of strength, and he didn't have time to dodge, let alone get up and run away.

It was also the half-elf boy who reacted in time, hurriedly pulled out the dog-legged knife that had not yet fallen, and resisted the wolf's bite with the blade horizontally.

There was a loud grinding sound of metal and teeth, Loki almost couldn't hold the hilt of the knife, he used his greatest strength, and hurriedly pressed his left hand against the back of the knife, and for a moment the tundra wolf beast froze.

Suddenly, the half-elf boy felt a tightness in his neck, and his neck was actually covered by a rope, and the end of the rope was pulled hard, and he felt a bloodshot suffocation in his eyes and head.

Loki tensed his neck muscles, gritted his teeth and slammed back the dogleg knife, and then slashed at the rope with a backhand, unexpectedly, with a metal clash, the dogleg blade was blocked by the strong orc in front of him with a metal bracer.

Before he could pull out his tactical claw knife and struggle again, half of his body was wrapped up by the orc with a rope.

"I didn't think I'd be here. ”

Loki's masseter muscles tightened, and a pair of gray eyes looked at several strong orcs with unwillingness and resentment, and he saw that he didn't know when, even Aina, who was hiding in the distance, was actually caught.

The last three people of the fleeing team won't be wiped out here, right?

Some of Loki's obvious weapons were confiscated, along with the dwarven token Mine Hammer in his arms, and the map given to him by the Circus of Okutsu.

Ruby the Cat Orc wasn't tied up with ropes, but her weapons had been confiscated as well.

The leader of the three strong orcs spoke to her, speaking in an orc language that Loki didn't understand, as Ruby gestured to the rope around the half-elf boy's neck.

After a heated negotiation, the orcs looked at Loki and Aina with a rare reduction in hostility.

In the end, the strong orcs took the initiative to untie the ropes on Aina and Loki.

Ruby returned the dogleg knife to the half-elf boy and explained to him, "It's okay for now, I told them who we were, and that we were the most miserable slaves who escaped from the human city. ”

"These are the scouts of the orc empire army, it seems that they are looking for something here, but I heard that half of the dead people have not been found, and they are about to return to the army to resume their lives, as long as they are not human soldiers or nobles, and they do not hinder these orc scouts, they should not hurt us. ”
