Section 9 Parting

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, my recklessness will kill everyone. "Rex apologized to the old orc, and his emotions fell into deep self-remorse.www.biquge.info

Seeing this, Gu Bo came to him, looked into Rex's eyes and comforted, "Kid, we don't need you to blame yourself, anything will have an accident." Now, the most important thing is to unite forces to defeat the ghouls, which is the only way for us to escape from the grave. I hope you understand. ”

"Listen, Rex, it's not your fault, you know. Odom said with a serious expression, "I hope you will cheer up, and your great courage is indispensable to defeat our enemies, and it is the guarantee of our victory." ”

Rex's frustrated mood slowly returned to normal with the encouragement of everyone. By the time they had just set up their formations and prepared for battle, the ghouls with their axes had already rushed over.

These moving skeletons sleeping in coffins are all tiger warriors who died in ancient wars. The king buried them in the underground of the city, and since their souls could not be purified, their bodies decomposed, and their souls rested on the bones of the forest, turning into terrible ghouls, and these spirits made a curse before they slept--- that all adventurers who broke into the tombs and disturbed their sleep would be punished with the harshest death.

Among the awakened ghouls, the first skeleton to rush forward slashed at Odom's head with an axe, Odom dodged its attack backwards, and then, with a shout of "Drink", he quickly struck and grabbed the handle of the hand axe, and with the other hand clenched his fist, he struck hard at the ghoul's jaw. With the force of the impact, the ghoul flew as light as a garment for a long distance, and finally landed on the ground.

The ghoul was dazed for a moment, then became furious when he saw the distance, and roared. Unfortunately, the lower jaw has long been misaligned, and it is crooked and cannot be closed with the upper jaw. It touched its jawbone with its fingers, got up from the ground, and rushed towards the orc ranks. Ten ghouls came like a tidal wave, raised their semicircular hand axes high, and slashed without hesitation at the sight of people.

The orcs, with their hard skin and strong will, could not stop the axe from slashing. They could only dodge one after the other, avoiding the powerful axe blades.

He couldn't kill the ghouls with his usual high-speed attacks, and the chains on his wrists limited his movements, and now he even looked clumsy to dodge. A waddling ghoul with three teeth lost walked up to Rex and roared and slashed his axe to launch a storm of attacks on him.

Rex blocked its attacks with chains, and after a brief battle, the ghouls had a big advantage. He scanned the room with his peripheral vision and saw that everyone had joined the fight, and the old orc Gubo, under the cover of his companions, took the rocks on the ground and threw them at the ghouls on the opposite side. Odom is engaged in a struggle with two ghouls, who block his back and separate him from the others.

Rex's heart raced, and the blood in his body pounded like a flood of blood against the inner walls of his veins, pumping power to his limbs, and he rolled and jumped, thinking about how to hit these annoying ghouls. After a brief observation, he realized that punches could only hit them but could not kill them, so he decided to try magic instead.

He jumped backwards, keeping a safe distance from the ghoul as he spread his palms to gather energy.

A minute later, a white ball of lightning appeared in the palm of his hand, crackling and exploding electric light flying in the air. When the ghoul attacked him again, a white bolt of lightning sent out of his palm like a mad dragon, striking the ghoul in the chest with unmistakable accuracy. Electricity surrounded the bones, and blue flames enveloped the ghoul's body.

The ghoul was struck by Rex's magic and stood in place twitching and swaying, the axe falling off in its frantically trembling hands. The ghoul let out a hoarse howl.

A minute later, the ghoul burst all over, and bones scattered all over the ground. Rex breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the situation of the other people on the battlefield, the mood that had just relaxed became urgent again, and the orcs were not optimistic. Three orcs had lost their lives, and their bodies lay on the ground not far from the sarcophagus. Two of them had their heads cut off, blood soaking their clothes and floors, and one orc had his belly sliced open, and his entrails were all leaking out.

Odom punched the two ghouls with his fist, and just as he repelled one of them, the other immediately slashed at him with an axe. His left arm was cut by the blade of an axe, and Odom took two steps back with his arm in his arms, and the ghoul chased after him with his axe.

Rex struck quickly, not giving it a chance to swing, and shot a bolt of lightning at the ghoul, which immediately pierced its body, shattering its bones in pieces. Rex strikes in succession, using his magic to crush another rushing ghoul.

Odom's predicament was lifted, and he glanced at Rex gratefully.

The orcs banded together and killed two ghouls, the others were shattered by Rex's magic, and they won the battle in the end, but the orcs also suffered heavy losses. With the exception of the loss of three companions, everyone else was wounded.

The old orc Gubo was unlucky, and in the scuffle he was cut by a ghoul axe. The red blood soaked through the thin prison clothes, and he lay on the ground gasping in pain, his face was dead and his eyes were glazed. The fire of life is getting weaker and weaker in his body, and death is taking control of him step by step. And he himself understood what was about to happen, so he accepted the reality calmly, without struggle or resistance, and he knew the feeling of death, and the feeling that this life was coming to an end became clearer and clearer.

Odom's expression was solemn, his face was sad, and he gritted his teeth a little, and Old Gubo's injury made him feel pain. He slowly walked over to Gubo and knelt down. Rex and the other surviving orcs followed, surrounding them in the middle. He sighed sadly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you feel, Gubo?"

Gubo opened his mouth slightly, silently leaving tears in his eyes. He said in a voice so faint that it was almost inaudible, "I'm dying, dear general. Then he rested for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry I can't go back to my hometown with everyone." But... My soul will always belong to Gao Yan. Eventually, I... I beg the general, bring my body back to Dragonbone City...", Gubo closed his eyes before he could finish speaking, he died.

"I promise you to bring you back to Dragonbone City, where everything about you belongs, my friend. Odom choked up.

Everyone fell silent, and Gubo's death touched the valve of grief, and everyone paid a silent tribute to him. Three minutes later, Odom stood up, and Rex walked behind him, standing side by side with him, comforting, "I'm sorry I didn't protect him." Gubo deserves a better ending. ”

Odom closed his eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth to break free from his sadness, and faced Rex, squeezing a sour smile out of his stiff expression. He wiped away his tears with his fingers, "Don't worry, orcs are not little girls, we have the strongest will and body, Gubo is only temporarily gone, his spirit is always with us." ”

"Alright, let's get him out of here. Rex said.

"Hmm. Odom nodded in agreement.

Eight people crawled out of the dim cavern, their eyes stung by the bright sunlight, and they closed their eyes until they were fully accustomed to the light outside, and they dared to open their eyes to observe this new world.

Before their eyes appeared a great valley surrounded by majestic mountain peaks and covered with trees and greenery, and a great river flowing and whirlpooling through the middle of the valley. On the other side of the river, several frightened elk ran into the forest. The mountains are lush and green, and forests cover large areas of land. All the scenes show vigorous vitality.

Mountains and rivers, valleys and ridges, as well as houses and buildings hidden in the forest, as well as those stone-paved paths, seem to be the embodiment of life, making the viewer feel relaxed and pleasant.

Everyone's mood suddenly brightened, and Odom's face was not as gloomy as before, but now he looked healthy and energetic. Rex returned to the familiar country of Morrowind, his whole body felt refreshed, and the whole world felt an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Although he returned to Morrowind, he had no intention of returning to Shadingher, because his mission was not yet complete, and he had to go to Thorn City again until he rescued the prince Keith.

And where Babas went, he didn't know anything about it, and he went through these changes. All the mysteries are waiting for him to solve them one by one.

After enjoying the scenery, the eight people continued on the road. Before it gets dark, they must find a tavern or village, or they will have to camp, and camping in the wilderness is the last thing they want.

Two orcs, who were still healthy, carried Gubo's corpse and followed Odom. Rex led the way at the front of the group, and they walked along the main road by the river, hoping to meet a village where they could rest in front of them, at the bend in the river.

For several days, continuous fighting and fleeing, had exhausted their physical strength. Hunger is like a crazy bug that gnaws at everyone's stomach. They feel uncomfortable and desperately need food and rest to relieve. If these needs are not met as soon as possible, death will take them all away.

For now, their situation is still dire, and death is everywhere. But as luck would have it, they had walked half a mile, and in a flat area of the river, they found a village. At the junction leading to the village, there stood a lonely sign, pointing like a scarecrow in the direction of the village.

Rex approached the sign, carefully scanned the handwriting, and saw that the wooden sign had four words written on it—Moramir.
