The gravel and sand looks very flat from a distance, but it is very inconvenient to walk, and the Baroque cannot be faster than the swimming sand snakes even if they run hard. Thankfully, there are large rocks everywhere, more than a person high, and they are sharp and steep on all sides, and people can climb up on a single jump, but snakes without hands and feet cannot. Baroque desperately climbed up a rock, and the sand snake jumped up and almost bit his foot, but fortunately smashed the animal bone out in time, and the sand snake bit off the animal bone, and his leg was spared.

Baroque did not have time to breathe for the rest of his life, and immediately jumped up and yelled, provoking the sand snake, which had tried in vain several times, in order to attract its attention so that Barotan and Baur could run away.

After all, it was a beast with limited intelligence, and the sand snake only cared about swimming around the baroque, and did not notice that the other two prey behind had run away.

Barrotan and Baur ran backwards left and right, running hundreds of meters away, making a big circle and gathering together to find the sand scorpion's nest they had found yesterday. When I first found out, I planned to dig out the sand scorpion's nest and get a few sand scorpions back to roast and eat. I didn't want to look at it from a distance, covered in cold sweat, and quietly dodged.

It was a large and terrifying sand scorpion nest, and it was rare to see a sand lizard the size of a palm on weekdays, but they saw this nest coming in and out from a distance, and several of them were as big as half an arm, and their bodies were more than a foot long, not counting black tails. Sand scorpions have always been the larger they are, the more venomous they are. If this is stung, it will not be saved.

Today, in order to escape for his life, he had to provoke him. Fortunately, although the sand scorpion is highly poisonous and belligerent, its speed cannot catch up with the running orcs. So when Barotan and Baur defiantly threw stones at the sand scorpion's nest, provoking hundreds of scorpions of all sizes in the nest to chase after them, they turned around and ran in the direction they had agreed.

Baroque stood on the rock, carefully provoking the sand snake, and then watched in the distance, a few hundred meters away, the two companions quickly ran back, he stood tall, and could see a black line behind each of them, which was the sand scorpion that was chasing and killing.

Baroque took a deep breath and silently calculated the distance. Barrotan and Baur were already shouting and reminding: "Baroque, coming, coming!"

Still an old trick, Baroque suddenly discovers that the sand snake is actually quite stupid. A head-sized rock slammed into the head of the sand snake, and when it pounced, it jumped off the rock and ran in the direction of its two companions. The sand snake shook its head and turned to continue chasing, its gaze low, and it did not see the anomaly in the distance.

When the three guys converged and jumped on the biggest rock in the middle in time, the chasing femme fatales finally met, and the result can be imagined......!

The sand snake does not eat the lone sand scorpion, if in normal times, the sand snake will not provoke a nest of highly venomous scorpions anyway, but today is a little unlucky, this nest of sand scorpions was smashed by the despicable orcs to provoke the door, successfully provoked anger. They don't tell what the provocateur looks like, and they think that the sand snake and Barrotan are one of them. Hundreds of sand scorpions soon surrounded the large rocks, and the unlucky sand snake crawling under the rocks was naturally among them.

The fight was provoked by the sand scorpions first, a large group of scary sand scorpions, and there were many of them, first of all, they were not vegetarians, and it was rare to surround such a large prey on weekdays, and they did not mind enjoying some dessert while besieging the enemy. A nest of 'booms' poured up!

The skin on the back of the sand snake is as hard as iron, but the snake's belly is a weak point, although the frightened sand snake twisted its body, flicked its tail, and slapped and bit many scorpions to death, but it was still pierced by the scorpion's tail needle. They are all highly poisonous things, and they can withstand two stings, but when they are crawling with scorpions, they can only accept the tragic fate. Soon, the body of seven or eight meters long froze and did not move, the snake's mouth was wide open, and the snake letter spit out weakly, and it was already dead!

The three guys on the rock looked at the dense scorpions, their hearts were furious, and they cowered and didn't dare to move. Baroque tried his best to keep his voice low, not daring to alarm these poisonous and tyrannical guys too much: "Don't be afraid, it's getting dark, it will get cold soon, the scorpions can't stand it, they have to go back to the nest, let's go back then." ”

They stayed up patiently on the rocks, watching the scorpions eat the sand snakes. The front jaw of the sand scorpion easily bit open the snake's belly, and soon devoured the belly of a large snake of nearly two hundred catties, leaving only a gray snake skin. The three of them looked at it for a while, but fortunately, the snake skin was left, and the scorpions did not bring back the ** of the nest. If you take the snake skin, you can exchange it for a few copper coins with human merchants, and you can buy a lot of food.

The sky finally darkened, and the weather in the desert wasteland was like this, hot during the day and shivering at night. The sand scorpions couldn't help the orcs on the high rocks, so they could only show off their might and crawl back to their nests in a daze.

Baroque would not let go of this good opportunity, and immediately called two companions, chased the tail of the large army of scorpions, smashed them with stones, and knocked them with animal bones. As soon as the scorpions get angry and reflexively come after them, they immediately flee. Until the living scorpions returned to their nests, several people collected the sand scorpions that were killed, and there were more than 20 of them, which happened to be wrapped in snake skin, one person carried the animal skin bag that originally contained gerbils, and the other two dragged the snake skin diligently and rushed to the tribe.

The wasteland is full of dangers, especially at night, when all kinds of fierce beasts and poisons that are active at night begin to be active, and even the bravest orcs rarely rush to the night. If it weren't for the fact that the tribe had run out of food, if it hadn't encountered sand snakes, the Baroque would not have traveled at night. Fortunately, they picked up speed with fear, and as they approached the small col under the hills inhabited by the tribe, they encountered no danger. I could see the light of the fire in the distance, and I was finally relieved! It was the child, shouting excitedly, running towards the tribe. ―――――― hunting for the first time without an adult orc following, it was surprising to be able to catch so much.

Hearing the shouts, several tall orcs ran out of the campfire in the col. When Baur saw the particularly stout orc in front of him, he exclaimed with joy: "Uncle Bata, you are back, it is wonderful!" He was greeted by the roar of the tall orc, and his huge palm grabbed him, like grabbing a little chick, and slapped him a few times in the ass, and scolded: "Three bastards, who let you run out to hunt by yourself? Why don't you tell Batu, don't you know the danger outside? Do you want to feed the sand snake or the big sand lizard?" This orc man is more than two meters tall, covered with large and small scars, full of fierce aura, and his face is angry at this time,

Baur screamed a few times, Bata was his own uncle, his parents had been eaten by a large sand lizard when he was a child, and his uncle had raised him. There are only six children left in the clan, except for the youngest Baqir, who is the son of Bata, and the rest of them, including Baroque, are all orphans!

Bata was really angry, and he was very his hands, but he really hit. Covering his buttocks, although Baur screamed, he pointed at Baroque and said happily: "With Baroque with us, we are not afraid." You see, we caught a lot of gerbils, killed a bunch of sand scorpions, and ...... I even got a sand snake skin!......" he said, and his voice was quiet.

Sure enough, a total of twenty or thirty tribesmen in the tribe saw the huge snake skin, and their faces changed--such a big sand snake...... What did these three children go through! Baroque hurriedly spoke to comfort the tribesmen, although they were barren, but the tribesmen did not have bad intentions, they were a group of simple and honest, straightforward and enthusiastic orcs, he naturally integrated into this world, this tribe.

"When we met this big sand snake, it had already been stung to death by a sand scorpion, so we just hid aside and waited for dark, picked up a snake skin, and knocked a few sand scorpions to death by the way, and there was not much danger. It's just that I came back a little late, which worries everyone. Baroque said a little panic.

Despite his young age, Baroque has always been calm and very intelligent, and for orcs, intelligence is the most valuable asset, even the patriarch of Bata respects his opinion.

"When you go out in the future, you must tell us, the wasteland is too dangerous, you are still young, at least adults must follow. Bata said, not caring about it, after all, the children came back safely. And it was also because they came back too late, and the tribe ran out of food, and the children were forced to go out and take risks for the sake of their people.

Huan Huan Xi returned to the tribe, this is a small mountain col, able to shelter the wind and sand, seven or eight dirty and broken animal skin tents are scattered, there is a ring of thorns and Hu wood fence outside, the simple wooden gate side, erected a thigh-thick wooden pillar, it seems to be painted with animal blood, the original carved ornament is covered, the top hangs a large sand lizard skeleton head, this is a totem pole, every beast tribe will have something, it is not only a sacrificial vessel, the sand lizard skeleton hanging on the top can also deter the surrounding beasts, so that it does not dare to approach.

There was a bonfire burning in the center, and food was still roasting on it, and it seemed that the people had not yet eaten.

"Patriarch Bata, you came back a little late this time, did you encounter anything?" Baroque asked the orc man Bata.

At this time, they were already sitting around the campfire, several old people were happily skinning gerbils, and the female orcs were cleaning up the sand scorpions, cutting off the poisonous needles on their tails, removing the dirt in their stomachs, and roasting them directly on the branches. The three youngest children circled around with anticipation on their faces, they hadn't eaten a delicious sand scorpion for a long time, and they couldn't wait.

The only iron pot in the clan was boiling a soup of wild vegetables and moss, and a few flat stone slabs next to it were baking dark black bread, which was the food exchanged for from the human village.

"This time we went a little far, those human cunning merchants in Crow Town desperately lowered the price of our ore, five hundred catties of fire copper ore are only willing to give fifty copper coins, if it is exchanged for food, it is not enough for our whole clan to eat for a few days. We continued to walk east for a day, and went to another village and town, hehe, the merchants there are fair, do you know how many copper coins we bought?" Bata smiled with a smile on his face, and stretched out two fingers and shook them proudly: "Two hundred copper coins, the spirit of the totem is on it, this is the highest price we have ever sold, and the merchants there said that they will all accept our copper ore at this price in the future." We've converted all the 200 copper coins into human bread, which is enough for our whole clan to eat for a long time. ”

The corners of Baroque's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. - If it had been before, he would have been happy, but since the fusion of the two souls, he has become much clearer. Damn human profiteers, 500 catties of fire copper ore only give 200 copper coins. You must know that even the savage orcs know the value of the metal of fire copper, even if they can only refine dozens of catties of fire copper when they go back, it is dozens of nearly a hundred times the profit. It's just that bullying orcs won't forge it.

He didn't say much, after all, he didn't know much about the world, even if he had all the memories of Baroque, but this body hadn't left the surrounding area for thirty miles in the previous fourteen years, and his knowledge of the outside world was extremely limited. Since human beings dare to bully orcs so blatantly, they must have some momentum, don't provoke them casually, take your time, there will always be a way to change the status quo.

This body is an orc, and everything in the Baroque must also be thought of from the perspective of an orc, human ...... Maybe I used to be one of them, but now it's just a strange race, that's all.

Thinking about things silently, the laughter of the clansmen came to his ears, and he ate, this was the first time in a few days that he had let go of his belly to eat, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been completely full!

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, everything has to start with filling your belly.
