448. Ogre Gullitham
There were several pear trees lying in the middle of the forest, and some green fruits hanging from the canopy fell to the ground, trampled to pieces by ogres.
The ogre was far less agile than these hellhounds, and could not take care of the hellhounds that pounced on him from behind, so the hellhounds left countless bite marks on his hind legs and skin thighs, and the ogre was already a little out of breath at this time, and his back was against a thick tree, but this passive situation did not get better.
In a bit of rage, the ogre grabbed the corpse of a hellhound and slammed it at the hellhound, knocking over a field of vicious dogs.
Then it let out a scream of pain and shook off the big hanging on it. Two hellhounds on their legs, and smashed one of them into the dirt with a large wooden stick, and the entire chest cavity of the hellhound collapsed.
Although the two hellhounds were thrown off, more hellhounds pounced one after another, grabbed the ogre's arm with sharp teeth, and dragged the ogre's pace with their bodies, trying to pounce the ogre to the ground.
The ogre was clearly aware of this, too, and did everything in his power not to let himself fall.
In just such a short period of effort, the number of hellhounds hanging on the ogre's body has skyrocketed from five or six to more than a dozen, and there are eight hellhounds hanging on the ogre's two arms alone, and the bites and roars are almost connected.
The ogre was furious, and with great difficulty he raised one of his arms with four hellhounds, opened his mouth and bit at the most conspicuous hellhound on the arm, tearing off one of the ears of the hellhound and half of his face, and his mouth was covered with purple blood......
……
Surdak hid behind the bushes and glanced at Samira and Andrew, and when he saw that both of them were squatting behind the bushes, he whispered to them, "Shall we go and help that ogre......"
Before Surdak could finish speaking, Andrew the Nanai warrior was the first to rush out of the bushes with a big axe, and he strode to the ogre's side, and the big axe in his hand smashed on the hind leg bone of a hellhound with a whistling wind, and suddenly the hellhound's body instantly became shorter, and half of the axe blade slashed into the body of the hellhound.
The hellhound let out a wail, relented, and turned its head to bite Andrew's arm.
Andrew raised his foot and kicked the hellhound to the side, and casually ripped off a hellhound hanging from the ogre.
At this time, two hellhounds found Andrew rushing out of the dense forest, and wanted to sneak up on Andrew from the back silently, but they were shot in the eye socket by two feathered arrows, and the hellhound screamed after being hit by the arrow, and rolled around on the ground, trying to remove the feathered arrows that pierced into the eye sockets with grabbing, but there was no way.
With a forest bow in her hand, Samira leaped up a tree in three strokes and five by two, and shot one arrow after another from his side.
Andrew rushed to the ogre's side, finally giving the ogre a moment to breathe, and almost without hesitation, he raised his two large hands full of hellhounds, and used brute force to smash them against the thick trunk behind him.
Suddenly, two hellhounds broke their bones on the spot, and they died on the spot under the tree, and the other hellhounds were also thrown off by the ogre, and their arms were covered with bloody bite marks from the bite, and the ogre didn't care about these at all, as if he didn't feel pain at all, he bent down, grabbed the skulls of the two hellhounds with a pair of big hands like a fan, and forced them off his legs, and closed his arms to the middle with all his might, and the heads of the two hellhounds smashed together, bursting out a canopy of purple blood.
Surdak and two other knights ran over with the corpses of Cerberus strewn all over the ground, and a group of men quickly disposed of the remaining Cerberus.
Surdak saw it very clearly, this ogre who was almost three meters tall knocked over nearly half of the hellhounds by himself, but he was also seriously injured, and after doing it in place, many wounds kept bleeding outward, and the ogre didn't want to bandage the wounds, he dragged a hellhound with his hand, and pulled the hellhound with one hand. The legs, twisted and pulled down, and the body of the hellhound was broken in two.
He carried the bloody corpse of the hellhound and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, making a creaking sound as he chewed on the bones, making Surdak realize that the big man in front of him was a notoriously fierce and brutal ogre.
He was strong, full of explosive power, and his skin had the texture of white quartz, and he handed the other half of the hellhound to Andrew, who shook his head and spoke a word to him in the indigenous language of the Nanai people, but he didn't expect that the ogre was also very fluent in the indigenous language.
Then the ogre twisted his head, the redness in his eyes faded little by little, and he sat on the ground, both at eye level with Surdak.
Two fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, and he gasped for breath, swallowing the hind legs of the hellhound into his stomach in a few bites.
Then, with a slight exhale, he leaned his huge body entirely against the trunk of the tree, and said to Andrew a word in an indigenous language that Surdak did not understand, before he glanced at Samira, who was standing on the side of the tree, and gave her a thumbs up.
Surdak boldly stepped out and stood in front of the ogre.
The other two knights in the team didn't have the courage to come over, they stood far away, but their eyes were still full of wariness when they looked at the ogre.
"Need help? Big. Surdak greeted the ogre in a friendly way.
"I don't like to communicate with humans, you are cunning, greedy, cowardly, go away!" The ogre waved his hand unceremoniously at Surdak, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he didn't expect that he was actually proficient in Grimm Chinese.
The ogre has a smell of rotting flesh in his mouth, and it seems that he doesn't like brushing his teeth very much.
Surdak looked at the wounds on his arms and said to the ogre, "I can heal your wounds. ”
Andrew, who was beside him, also said an indigenous word to the ogre, as if to prove that what Surdak said was true, but the ogre did not show any joy on his face, but looked at Surdak suspiciously, and asked him angrily, "What do you want?" ”
"I'd like to ask you for some news." Surdak rubbed his forehead with his fingers.
I don't know what this ogre has experienced before, but he is actually wary of the Imperials, his eyes widened, and he said to Surdak with a wary expression: "I won't tell any secrets about the ogre clan. ”
Surdak stretched out his hand to him, "I can promise not to ask this. ”
He pained himself and passed his fist over and said, "That's good! By the way, if you want Hellhound, you can trade it for beef! ”
Looking at the corpses of Hellhounds all over the ground, Surdak asked noncommittally, "Do you like beef?" ”
The ogre nodded without hesitation and replied, "That's right, I like tender, delicious and juicy beef, and I like to eat it when it's roasted." ”
With a hint of cunning in his honest eyes, he grinned and said to Surdak: "Okay, I've answered your question, it's time for you to treat me, and then we don't owe each other." ”
Surdak just smiled and didn't get caught up in the ogre's teasing.
He took two more steps closer and put his hands on his chest. Before, some divine aura condensed between his hands, and then this divine aura fell on the ogre's arm, only to see that the ogre's stiff face eased a little, and he looked at Surdak again, his eyes completely devoid of the previous hostility.
"Can you really help me heal my wounds?" The ogre asked Surdak, his voice like thunder.
"Of course!" Surdak took a step further and pulled out a skinning knife beside the ogre, and began to handle the carrion from the ogre's wounds, saying, "Not all Empires are treacherous and greedy......"
The ogre snorted coldly, didn't answer, just stared at the knife in Surdak's hand.
Maybe it was just half a hellhound that he had just eaten, the ogre's stomach gurgled and rattled, seeing that he was trying his best to endure his discomfort, Surdak didn't say anything else, he knew that ogres had such a habit, and they consumed a lot of physical strength after the battle, so they would eat something to replenish their physical strength after the battle.
Surdak pulled out a whole air-dried corbel from his magic waist bag, which looked like a stiff stick, and then handed it to the ogre, smiled at him and said, "I have an air-dried corbel here, would you like to try it?" ”
The ogre looked down at the air-dried corbel that lay on his lap, he swallowed, tried to control his eyes from looking at it, and asked Surdak, "Say, what do you want to know?" ”
His tone was much softer, devoid of his previous suspicion and hostility.
Surdak didn't stop his hand, and as he quickly tended to his wounds, he asked the ogre, "Have you ever seen a human magician?" He had been missing around the neighborhood for days. ”
Surdak didn't have much hope, he just asked casually.
Unexpectedly, the ogre was slightly stunned, and then replied honestly: "I have seen it." ”
"Do you know anything about him?" Surdak asked with a look of surprise.
I didn't expect to have the news of the Guy mage so soon, Andrew's face on the side was also full of incredulity, five pairs of eyes looked at the ogre nervously, and Surdak then asked: "You shouldn't eat him, right?" ”
The ogre grew his mouth, and a trace of saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and he wiped it heavily on his mouth with his big blood-stained hand, and said honestly: "Of course I know the news of him, that is, I imprisoned him with my own hands, according to the laws of the Grimm Empire, he needs to continue to squat in my prison for four days before he can be free!" In addition, I would like to explain very solemnly my dietary preferences, in fact I don't like to eat people. ”
As the ogre spoke, the spat fell on Surdak's face like rain.
Surdak looked at the ogre and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you saying that you didn't arrest him to eat him, but just to lock him up?" ”
The ogre rightfully spread his hands and asked, "Or else?" Do you think that because I am an ogre, I must eat humans? In fact, we eat everything, and the meat of the Imperial people is sour and not delicious......"
After saying that, the ogre did not wait for Surdak to heal his wounds, got up from the ground, and said loudly to Surdak:
"Let's go, I'll show you to meet him, it's better to take him away, I'm not in the mood to hunt lately, those hellhounds have come here, swallow everything they can eat in this area, and I'm going to get out of this hellish place soon."
After saying that, he didn't forget to hold the air-dried corbel on his leg tightly in his hand, and he didn't care that his body was bitten by the hellhounds, but he just picked up a few corpses of hellhounds from the ground, put them on his broad shoulders, and strode into the valley.
Surdak really underestimated the ogre's strong physique, but he didn't expect that after only resting for a while, the wound actually stopped bleeding, and the wound showed no signs of being corroded and festering.
He followed behind the ogre, quickly chased after him and asked, "You want to get out of here...... Where are you going? ”
The ogre shook his somewhat clumsy head, and replied angrily, "Find a place where food is more abundant to live, I have been eating hellhound meat here for more than half a month, and eating too much of this meat will make my stomach hurt." ”
……
The valley is not very long, the vegetation in the valley is not so dense, it is probably less than two kilometers away, and there is a rock fault in the depths of the valley, and between the rock walls of the fault, Surdak found a natural cave, which is obviously the temporary residence of the ogre.
The cave was littered with animal bones, and there was a bonfire that burned continuously, with a tree root on top of it, and a thin wisp of black smoke emitted from the bonfire.
The ogre casually threw the carcasses of these hellhounds on the roots of a large tree, carried the dried corbels, and limped into the cave that had been blackened by the smoke and fire.
Surdak and the others saw a wooden cage the size of a house at the entrance of the cave, the wooden cage was made of giant trees and vines, the gap between each giant tree was very large, not to mention people, even a giant bear could easily pass through, a magician sat quietly next to the wooden cage, there was a wooden barbecue grill beside him, and he was using a fireball to roast the hind legs of a hellhound, very focused.
Hearing the ogre's footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, so he complained to the ogre: "I said Gulitham, can you not always catch some hellhounds, let's get something else to eat?" ”
Surdak looked at the magician in his dirty magic robes speechlessly.
The ogre sat down beside the magician, covered in blood, scooped up the roasted hellhound hind leg, unceremoniously stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it heavily, and handed the air-dried calf to the magician.
