Chapter 22: The Tide of Beasts
I didn't expect the Elven Empress to be so vicious, I was almost killed by her.
It's good that an elf found out, otherwise I would have been a corpse.
I walked quickly down the ancestral tree, and there was a mess below, and many elves were looking around, not understanding what was happening. Many elves exchanged heads and ears, saying words they didn't understand.
I heard the leopard girl shouting that she had killed someone, so it was she who saved my life.
I didn't have time to deal with Daphne who was following behind, so I immediately walked over to the Leopard Girl. She was whistling hand and foot under a tree, and the elven guards around her were not watching over her.
As soon as I passed, she snorted proudly, "What's the matter? I'll just say elves aren't a good thing, right?"
I said, how do you know she's going to kill me?" the leopard girl looked up at a little elf cowering among the leaves, the little elf was trembling and her face was pale, and she kept muttering something.
"She told me that we got acquainted on the way, and I asked her to go and see what was going on inside the ancestral tree, and when she saw that the Empress was going to kill you, she came down and told me, poor baby, so frightened that she was so scared that she was urinating. ”
The elf was indeed frightened, but this was not the time to appease her, and I looked in the other direction, and an elf guard was also looking at the little merman in his arms.
The little mermaid had been silent, she had no eyes, and looked at the ancestral tree vacantly, not knowing what she was thinking.
I hurriedly hugged her, "We're leaving, Miss Elf." ”
The elven guard breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have to take care of the little merman, and she immediately ran to the ancestral tree.
Daphne was there to appease the elves, ignoring me for the time being. I ran to the leopard girl with the little mermaid in my arms and grabbed her.
The leopard girl accepted my rescue as a matter of course, and she held the little elf in the palm of her hand: "Take her away, or the empress will definitely kill her." ”
I thought to myself, but seeing that no elves were paying attention to us around me, I immediately ran around the trees towards the dense jungle.
There were elven tree towers everywhere, and there were many elves in the forest, and they were very curious when they saw us, but they didn't ask much.
The leopard girl still wants to save the clansmen, I said that there are too many of your big men to save them, and I am lucky that I can save you.
She was sullen, but she didn't force it.
I ran to the north, and I heard the horn of the elven clan from a distance, and I thought it was coming to arrest us, but the leopard girl pricked up her ears and said: "That's the horn of the expedition, the elven warrior is going to the north, by the way, why did the empress kill you? because you are ugly?"
I said no, she didn't allow me to go to the Primordial Hunting Zone, and said that I would be the king of the Primordial Hunting Zone, and I guess she wanted something from the Primordial Hunting Zone.
The leopard girl burst into tears when she heard this: "You will become the king of the primordial hunting area? ”
Her mouth is really cheap, I said that if you twitch again, I will lose you. She didn't dare to sneer, comforted the elf, and waited until she was far away from the ancestral tree before letting go of the elf: "Little cutie, you hide, my sister is going to the primordial hunting area, I can't take you there." ”
The surrounding jungle is dense, the flowers and plants are bright, and the elves also appear from time to time, which is quite suitable for settling down.
The elf nodded and kissed the leopard girl, then flew away.
I didn't expect that the leopard girl has a cheap mouth like elves, and the little mermaid is even more favored, just I am a lonely dragon, and it is difficult to even touch the elves.
Sullenly continuing northward, the Elven Empress didn't seem to have sent anyone to chase us, and it was safe all the way.
Later, when I left the elven land, I couldn't see the elves anymore, and the vitality of the jungle was much more dispersed.
The leopard girl liked these places even more, and jumped off the ground and turned into a leopard to sniff around: "The smell of pigmen, there is a pigman tribe here." ”
Dragons also have a sensitive sense of smell, and I'm almost stinking to death right now, is it near a dung pit?
The little mermaid was obviously also stinky, and her little face was wrinkled, and it was the first time I saw her with such an expression, and she was so cute.
The little merman raised his hand: "The great wind has come here." ”
The leopard girl and I were stunned, and the little mermaid lowered his hand again, but a pillar of wind appeared around us, swirling around us, and swept away the stench.
The Leopard Girl was surprised: "The magic of the human race, aren't you the sea tribe?"
The little merman's face darkened when he heard the sea clan, and I hurriedly said that she was a genius, and I was a good teacher to teach, so I knew human magic.
The leopard girl continued to open the road with disdain: "It's too stinky here, let's go around and find a few dead pigs to open meat." ”
She snorted, "Grab their things, who wants to eat them, you think I'm a wild leopard." ”
In the midst of the noise, we also bypassed this stinky place and arrived at the outskirts of the pigman tribe.
The air here is less stinky, but the smell of blood is very unsettling.
The leopard girl also smelled it, and casually broke off a piece of tree trunk as a javelin: "Something is wrong." ”
She quickly jumped up a large tree, jumping from branch to branch, using many trees as a pedal, and soon reached the top of the tribe.
I followed below, and in the distance I saw a hut covered in blood. It was so quiet that even the bugs were gone.
The leopard girl looked above for a moment and then jumped to the ground: "Nothing." ”
I hurried over and saw the mutilated bones of the corpses on the tribal ground, none of which were intact.
The little shark's face wrinkled even deeper, and the wind pillar grew bigger and bigger, rolling up the dust all around.
The leopard girl jumped over and touched those bones, sniffed the taste again, and her face was very solemn: "It is a race in the primitive hunting area, only they still retain the habit of eating raw meat, looking at the traces of these residues, I am afraid that a group of sword tigers have come out." They are the upper predators of the primordial hunting area, and even they have come to the south, and the changes in the primordial hunting area are probably unimaginable. ”
I don't know the races of the Primordial Hunting Zone, but I do know that they are countless times more powerful than the Orcs of the South, and there are also strong people like the Polly Leopard People hidden in them.
This is troublesome, the races of the primitive hunting area must be bloodied orcs along the way, and vegetarian orcs like pig people have no power to fight back.
"We continue north, I need to find my people. Let the elves handle the affairs of the south, and we can't handle them. ”
The leopard girl was decisive in her decision, and she began to worry about her people.
I didn't hesitate to go to the primitive hunting area. Now that the purpose has changed, I originally wanted to heal the eyes of the little merman, but now I want to explore the primordial hunting area, is what the Elven Empress said true?
We continued north, picking up our pace, and not being so careless anymore.
In the meantime, I passed through several orc races, and found that they were all washed in blood, what rabbits and horses, a huge tribe, and some even thousands of orcs, all of them were gnawed to the bones.
"The races of the Primordial Hunting Zone are powerful and swift, I suspect that they are storing meat, it is impossible to kill and eat it all, they are intelligent. ”
That's right, how could it be possible to eat all of them all at once after killing so many orcs? Those villains may be carrying a lot of flesh and blood south, which is a bit terrifying to think about.
A few days later we approached the edge of the primordial hunting area, where there were no tribes left, only a few unintelligent beasts, but these beasts seemed to sense some uneasiness, and ran wildly at the slightest movement, and the leopard girl finally caught a wild boar.
"Probably tomorrow we will be able to reach my tribe, our veined leopard people are all gathered together, there are two thousand, and they should not be slaughtered completely. ”
She's quite confident in her race, and we're so tired that even the dragons can't stand it, and we haven't eaten much on the way, so we have to replenish a little energy now.
The leopard girl disemboweled the wild boar, got another pile of firewood, and then looked at the little mermaid with a smile: "Little cutie, let's light the fire." ”
The little merman nodded, and with a little finger, the pile of firewood was on fire, and he didn't even need to recite a spell.
The leopard girl shouted: "It's amazing, you are so cute and handsome." ”
She also knows how to praise people, but unfortunately the little merman didn't react. I asked the leopard girl to roast the meat quickly, and she began to toss with a blank look.
Her craftsmanship is very good, and the wild boar meat is roasted so fragrantly that she leaves saliva when she smells it.
We all ate in big gulps, and there was still dead silence all around, and the food lowered our vigilance.
But the leopard girl's predatory instinct was still there, and after she nibbled a few bites of meat, she turned her head to stare at a bush on the right, her face full of fierce light.
I said what's wrong? The leopard girl threw down her meat and pounced: "A fox sao smell!"
There was a childish scream from the bushes, and the leopard girl pounced on it, and caught the fellow in the blink of an eye.
I ran over to look, only to see the leopard woman holding down a little girl-like creature with her paws.
The creature was probably in its teens, with two furry ears on its head, a beard around its nose, and Terran clothes and shoes, and a bit of an aristocratic little girl.
The leopard girl was unkind to her, and scolded coldly: "Little fox, what are you doing?"
The little fox's ears shook and his throat squirmed, and then he reasoned with the leopard girl: "You're too savage, aren't you? The Elven Forest belongs to your family? Can't I do it here? I'll just squat here to pee, what's wrong?"
The leopard girl grabbed her ear: "No wonder there is a smell of sao, look at your face like this, eighty percent of them are fox spirits in the Terran Plains, if you don't learn well at a young age, you will charm people!"
The little fox was angry by her: "You wild leopard smells of sweat, you don't have the femininity to be jealous of us foxes, you have the ability to charm people!"
"You...... I don't have femininity? The old lady doesn't know how much more beautiful than you, you look at you, your breasts are the same, I'm whew!"
The leopard girl and the little fox quarreled, I was munching on the pig's leg and watching the play with a smile, and the leopard girl suddenly turned her head to look at me: "Ugly dragon, do you tell me if I am feminine?"
I looked up at the sky, and the little fox laughed: "Look, no one likes a wild leopard like you!"
The leopard girl was so angry that she wanted to beat people, and I continued to look at the sky, and then I saw a row of black dots appear in the sky, like a flock of big birds flying south.
There were more and more black spots, and through the gaps in the leaves, they could be seen flying in a line to the south.
The sound of birdsong was also heard, the sound of a hasty escape. I hurriedly shouted, "Stop arguing, there's something in the sky." ”
Startled, the leopard girl jumped up on the tree, and then stuck her head out of the leaves to look at it, which seemed to surprise her.
I told to get rid of the branches, and she broke them with her claws, revealing a one-meter square gap.
Now I can see the sky clearly, the sky is completely obscured, those black spots are boundless, stretching from the primeval hunting area to here, but with a breath, the endless darkness is pressed down, and the black spots cover all the sunlight, and it is pitch black below.
The majesty was simply terrifying, and I'm sure even my father would not dare to face this ocean-like bird.
The leopard girl jumped to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It is a bird of prey in the primordial hunting area, it can't see the edge, they are fleeing south, there are many intelligent races among them, they may be stronger than the Yalong." ”
At this time, the forest was already pitch black, and all the light was obscured by the birds in the sky, and this darkness was still spreading to the south, and the entire Elven Forest would probably have to experience this darkness once.
The leopard girl looked a little frightened, and the little fox was also very afraid, so she got up and wiped her face and said, "What's the matter? I came back from the Terran Plain to visit relatives, and I accidentally got lost, why is it strange everywhere." ”
The little fox was almost lost to the edge of the primeval hunting area, and it was a miracle that she was still alive.
I didn't have time to explain to her, I said you should follow me, or you would die.
The little fox simply nodded neatly: "Okay handsome guy, but I want to eat something." ”
She went to bite into the pork, and the white fox tail wagged as if she was enjoying it.
This fox is not fully developed, but it retains the fox's ears and tail, which adds a lot of cuteness.
The leopard girl didn't care about arguing with her anymore, and analyzed in a deep voice: "The birds fled south, and the beasts should also flee south......"
As we spoke, there was a loud rumbling sound in the northern land, and the sound of trembling was transmitted through the earth to our feet.
All the plants in the vicinity were shaking, and the leaves were falling. It was like shaking the earth, and it was terrifying.
I looked out at the jungle in the north, the woods were so dense that I couldn't see anything at all, but the vibrations and roars in the air were getting stronger and stronger, and there were boundless herds of beasts rushing towards me in the north.
"Run!"
I held the little mermaid in one hand, grabbed the little fox with the other and turned to run, and the leopard girl rushed out quickly like a sharp sword.
However, the vibrating sound was getting closer and closer, and the leopard girl's voice was hoarse: "I can't run, they are all beasts of the primordial hunting area, they are too powerful!"
I took a big stride and broke some of the trees, but the herd behind me drew closer, and soon some beasts appeared, all of them carnivorous beasts, with long fangs or horns, running wildly through the forest.
They didn't attack us, and I wasn't afraid of a single beast, but I was afraid of the herd behind me, and that a large group of beasts would definitely crush us into meat sauce, and my body couldn't bear it.
The four fields are dim, and if it weren't for our good eyesight, I'm afraid we would have been knocked out by the trees.
Running like this is not the way, I calmed down, and then stomped hard, and a big pit appeared on the ground, I stomped several times in a row, the pit got bigger and bigger, and the leopard girl also reacted and pounced to dig the soil.
But time was too late, the front end of the herd had already appeared, and countless powerful beasts that could not be named galloped in.
I broke out in a cold sweat, the leopard girl almost despaired, and the little merman suddenly opened her hands: "Great earth spirit, obey my call and open up this land." ”
I immediately felt a softness under my feet, and the big pit had sunk down to nearly five meters, and the little mermaid was also panting and very tired.
The five-metre pit was enough to keep us safe, but there was the catch, the beasts could bury us alive if they fell.
I can't care so much about it, and when I open my mouth, I just let out a loud roar.
The dragon's groans rang out, and in the dark woods, the supreme majesty of the dragons spread like a circle of water in the herd.
Immediately, a howl came, and countless beasts avoided it, and a terrible run and collision occurred.
Mountains of beasts tried to avoid the pit, but all the beasts huddled together, and they immediately collided with each other as soon as they changed direction.
Dirt and blood flowed, all the trees were broken, and the first stampede had even more serious consequences, and the whole herd was in chaos.
However, there were so many of them that they could not stop, and those who were killed were forced to push forward, and were carried forward by the rest of the beasts.
Soon, wild beasts continued to fall from above, and more beasts blocked the mouth of the pit, blocking the last bit of light.
I shielded everyone with my back, bearing the onslaught of wild beasts. It feels like my back is full of beasts.
The dirt in the pit was falling off, and some bugs crawled out and were then shaken to death.
My eardrums tingled, the little fox covered her ears and screamed in pain, and the leopard girl also rolled on the ground, releasing the pain of her eardrums.
An endless tide of beasts was playing out above my head, and I was carrying the weight of many beasts, and if it weren't for the dragons' physique, I am afraid that I would have been crushed.
The little merman unleashed his water magic, and a film enveloped us with a faint light.
No one could speak, the beasts on my back had been crushed alive by the herd of beasts on the ground, and they were stacked one on top of each other, and I am afraid that a mountain of dead corpses had formed on the ground.
