Chapter 44: Orcs
Orcs are the alien species of the human race in the northern ice field, and after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, there have been a number of strange human races without souls and spirits, and this kind of people can transmit spiritual thoughts like spirit beasts after training, and most of them have some strange talents, which are very mysterious, and even the old scholars of the large immortal sect academy have not fully understood their characteristics.

Because the inheritance of the orc spirit body is very irregular like the reincarnation of a spirit animal into a human, and does not rely on blood relations, it has never formed a stable race.
However, in the northern ice field, which advocates the harmonious coexistence of human race and spirit beasts, orcs have always been regarded as a noble race, and the wise men of the spirit beast people have always been selected from among the orcs. Moreover, it is rumored that the queen of the spirit beast clan is also an orc, which further inspires the spirit beast people to respect the orcs.
Growing up in a small village near the Valley of the Gods, Scarface never thought he would be an orc. After listening to the old man's words, he was stunned for a while, and said, "The old gentleman said that I am an orc, is there any basis?"
The old man said lightly: "I only played a prelude to the spirit song, and it made your mind sprout, and it produced a very strong induction, only the spirit body will have this kind of reaction." Since you are not a spirit beast host, you should be an orc. ”
Seeing that Scarface was at a loss, he further explained: "Our practitioners in the south pay attention to refining weapons, the tools of the physical body can contain spiritual energy, and the mind is similar to a musical instrument, which can harmonize with the sound of the Great Dao and hook the heavens and the earth. The spirit bodies of spirit beasts and orcs are equivalent to natural musical instruments, and they can respond to spiritual sounds without casting, which is why the talents of spirit beasts and spirit animal hosts can automatically awaken. But orcs are different, if they don't take the initiative to cultivate, their talents will remain dormant until death, just like ordinary people. ”
At this point, even Zhang Feng, who had never heard of orcs, vaguely knew what kind of powerful existence orcs were, and he looked at Scarface enviously, "Uncle Scarface, I didn't expect you to be so extraordinary." Don't be a husband in the future, just enter an immortal sect academy, and be sure that someone will eat and drink for you and teach you to practice supernatural powers for free. ”
The cultivation of the Immortal Sect requires the consumption of a huge amount of elixir, and the cost is extremely high, but in order to recruit geniuses, the major Immortal Sect academies often provide elixirs for free, and subsidize food and lodging, and for particularly outstanding students, bonuses will also be issued on schedule.
When Zhang Feng was in class at the Immortal Sect School Hall in Cliff City, the teacher often talked about these things to motivate the students, and he was very impressed, so he had these words.
Scarface smiled bitterly and said nothing. As a slave, he has no right to decide the way forward.
The old man looked at him and said gently: "This kid is right, if you go to any Immortal Sect Academy, you will have a good future." If you can help me rescue the little master, I can restore your freedom, and sponsor you to enter the Xiude Academy in the Wood Country, and all the expenses in the academy will be borne by the merchants. ”
Scarface's husband was stunned when he heard this, "The old gentleman may count what he said?"
The old man smiled slightly: "Although I am also a slave, I can speak well in the merchant." In fact, even if I don't promise you anything, as a merchant slave, it is your duty to rescue the little master. Now that the matter is urgent, you take this opportunity to make a meritorious contribution, and it is not easy to restore your free body?"
Scarface thought for a moment and said, "Everything respects the old man's orders, but I am not a cultivator, I only have brute strength, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing and useful, and I hope the old man will not be surprised." ”
The old man said: "You can exert as much force as you want, what is there to see the strangeness? I have my own ideas for saving people, you just follow my orders and act, don't worry too much." ”
Then, he raised his hand to the other walkers, "You guys go to your own way of survival, you must disperse, the farther away the better, otherwise your mental potential will inspire each other in this soul transfer array, and it will trigger a very terrible vision, not only will you definitely die, but also other people will be affected." ”
Zhang Feng picked up the bags that had been thrown on the ground and asked the old man, "Where should we go now?"
The old man drew a simple five-element diagram on the spot, marking the five directions of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, he pointed to the picture with a branch, and said: "The location where I escaped just now is the fire level, and our current position is at the water level. ”
After the direction was determined, the old man immediately carried Zhang Feng and Scarface and walked quickly, walking about thirty or forty miles, he put the two down, and he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said: "I can feel the spiritual energy fluctuations in the little master's body, and it is near here." ”
Then he picked up the second again, turned around and retreated, and walked more than ten miles before stopping.
Zhang Feng was extremely puzzled: "Old man, since you already know where His Royal Highness the County Lord is, why don't you hurry over and rescue him?"
The old man said: "I have sensed the enemy, and the enemy will surely sense us." We don't have a chance of winning now, so we have to make some preparations. ”
He told them to rest where they were, but he sprang somewhere else, and after a short time he came back with a badger and asked, "Which of you can roast meat?"
Zhang Feng couldn't be better at this kind of thing, so he immediately pulled out the stone chips, skinned the badger, broke the chamber, took out the internal organs, put a lump of red meat on the sword, lit a fire, and held it there and roasted it seriously.
From time to time, the scarface walkman picked up some dead branches and joined the fire, while the old man kept standing with his hands in his hands, his face heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The meat was quickly cooked, and the three of them ate it cleanly.
Because it was dark, the barbecue fire simply let it burn, Zhang Feng saw that the old man had not said to save people, so he lazily sat by the fire and took a nap, and as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the old man.
He rubbed his eyes, "Grandpa, are we leaving?"
The old man said: "Boy, your heart is really wide, such a big matter is in front of you, can you actually fall asleep? While there is still time, I will plant spirits for you now, you practice on the spot for a while, and you may be able to come in handy after a while." ”
When Zhang Feng heard this, he lost all his sleepiness, and sat upright on the ground, waiting for the old man to play the spiritual song.
The old man folded a leaf and beckoned to the scarface: "Listen carefully, if the heat in your body is really unbearable, you can tell me." ”
With that, he put the leaf in his mouth and began to play as he did the previous time.
The tune is full of rhymes, and the sound is sharp, and it seems to be out of order, as if it was blown out of a person who does not understand the rhythm at all. Zhang Feng was stunned, closed his eyes and meditated, and did not realize anything for a long time. He couldn't help but get annoyed, and was about to open his eyes, when a sudden flash of fire flashed in the darkness, which was fleeting, and his heart trembled.
The light of the fire was so real, as if someone was holding a torch and dangling it in front of him, and it didn't look like anything imaginary at all.
After the first flash of fire, it began to appear frequently, flickering and flickering, and its rhythm and intensity changes were very consistent with the rhythm of the song. He was so disturbed that it was difficult for him to keep his peace, and his heart beat violently against the strange beat.
After enduring it for a long time, he couldn't stand it anymore and opened his eyes, but, not knowing if he was hallucinating, he saw a fire flickering in the whole forest.
The old man didn't stop playing, and the scarface man was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, and his expression was twisted and hideous.
Suddenly, the always amiable man roared angrily, and a cloud of white gas erupted forward as he opened his mouth, and the white gas contained an astonishing heat, which evolved into a red flame in mid-air, and actually ignited a bush.
That's when the song finally stopped.
The old man looked at Scarface with satisfaction and said approvingly: "Your qualifications are higher than I expected, and in time, you will become an extraordinary person." ”
Then his gaze fell on Zhang Feng, "What did you see this time?"
Zhang Feng scratched his head embarrassedly and replied truthfully: "I didn't even look at a fire, I only saw a piece of fire." ”
The old man smiled slightly, "If you still only see a fire, it will be difficult to make progress in the future, since you see the light and don't see the fire, it means that your qualifications are not bad." ”
Zhang Feng asked, "Is the seed of fire talent a fire light?"
The old man said, "It can be light or heat." Light can produce heat, and heat can produce light, and the essence of the two is almost the same. However, light is colored and invisible, and heat is colorless and invisible, relatively speaking, with heat as the seed of fire talent, the potential of mental power is greater. ”
